The Conger anti-cotton seed oil

never to be passed. Repudiated as
it is by the Western farmers in
whose interest it is nominally fram-

defeated by the senate. It has been
thoroughly exposed by the fanners
of the South the west and all por-
tions of the country as a measure
intended to nxaaciaily beneht some
Eastern manufacturers at the ex-
pense of the cotton growers. It
will be another great victory over
sectionalism if this bill is defeated

In half a dozen or more States
the legislature have had bills intro-
duced providing for the election of
United States senators by a duect
vote of the' people and in the Uni-
ted States senate Mr. Turpie. of In-
diana offered a proposed amend-
ment to the constitution to the
same effect and the question is now
before the people for discussion.
We are of the opinion that a vast
majority of the people would be in
favor of such an amendment.
Is regard to the report that the
Northern Pacific preferred stock
would be retired it is stated that
the matter has been under consider-
ation for two years but the company
has arrived at no conclusion. It was
thought that there would be legal
obstacles in the way but it is be-
lieved that none now exist. The
earnings of the company recently
have been sufficient to more than
pay a fixed charge of 5 per cent on
the amount of the preferred stock.
Now that the horrors of the bat-
tle of Wounded Knee have been
told by th'e Indians if true should
cause the man who are sometimes
designated brave soldiers to blush
with shame for no brave man will
slaughter woman and children. It
is true Indians are mean and treach-
erous but the Indian -policy of the
United States is take care of them
and try to civilize them but the
treatment they get is enough to
make savages out of civilized men
sooner than it would civilize them.
Some of the ordinary expressions

A blustering harmless fellow they
cali a "paper tiger." When a man
values himself overmuch they
eonrpare him to "a lat falling into a

compare to a rocket which goes off
at once. Those who expend their
charity on remote objects but neg-
lect their families are said "to hang
a lantern on a rope which is been
afar but gives no light below.
The new congressional apportion-
ment Says the Dallas Times-Heiald
promises to make a dozen of the
most interesting fights' Texas has
ever known. The thirteen districts
will be so shaped that they will be
entirely new and. excepting Lan-
ham and Culberson none of the
present congressmen will have any
advantage over their competitors
for the nominations. In this dis-
trict there will be a most interest
ing contest. To the list which has
been published from time to time
may now be added that of Barnett
Gibbs and W. C. Counor as proba-
ble candidates.
A MHMdiaA3iri.E.
The attention of suffering wives
is called to the plan of campaign
adopted by Mrs. Cooney agner ot
Pittsbuisr. whose husband came
! he me late ficm his club one night
savs an exchange suffering from the
! astigmatism which always follows
i orerindulgence in iced beverages.
She let Cooney Lave ins own way
from the time of his arrival in the
hoube until he fell quietly off into
the arms of Morpheus. When he
attempted to argue with her. using
:i living pan to emphasize his points
ihe suffered in silence. When he
renewed the controversy by striking
her over the head with a tea cup
i thrown with wonderful dextenty
considering his condition she uttered
no word of complaint but sat silent.
But when Cooney weary of his
oratorical efforts subsided into a
caq and tomevvhat sonoious slum-
bt '. Mrs. Wagner realized that the
time for action had arrived. She
vv:it no loncer silent and sullenng.
She became a bundle of aggiessive
neives an Empress Josephine of
Domesticity as it were. Going into
the back yard of her residence the
gathered together ail the clothes-
line within leach and with this she
bound the dreaming Cooney hand
and foot and then sat down to wait.
Morning came and vv ith it came
Cooney to his senses. He found
himself iying on his downy couch
face down his aims bound by the
stout cords his feet and legs im-
movable from the same cause. Then
Mrs. Wagner rose in her might and
seizins a large flat shovel she let
the recalcitrant Cooney have it for
all she was worth. For a full ten
minutes did she spank her now
repentant lord and master until he
howled with pain it may be pre
sumed mortification. The spank-
ing administered the lady-who
now resembled Bellona the Goddess
of War rather than the meek Mrs.
Cooney the victim of intolerable
peace loosened the bonds about
her husband's legs and led him.
still restrained as to his arms to the
police station and had him elected
to a term in the Workhouse.
Surely there is much in this little
domestic dame that is worthy of the
attention of down-trodden woman:
and if it serves by force of the ex-
ample set forth therein to lighten
tho woes of any suffering wife it
will not have been printed in vain.

The age of consent in Texas is
ten years and theieis some prospect
of the Legislature increasing it- .to
twelve. The Fort Worth Gazette
and the Waco Day have both in-
dulged in a righteous clamor for
the time to be still further inci eased
It should at -least be fifteen years.
The appeal to increase the time
when a girl may be considered old
enough to marry or barter her"
chastity should touch the heart of
every man who honors true woman-
hood and we do not believe if
rightly considered there will be
found many who will stand in the
wav of this social reform.
A partial list of the consolidation
schemes or deals that have been
mentioned within the past week is
quite a long one. Approximately it
is as follows: The Southern Pacific
and the Missouri Pacific ore to buy
the Atchison the Richmond Ter-
minal is to buy the New Albany
road the Lake Erie and Western is
to acquire the same property the
Richmond Terminal and the Louis-
ville and Nashville are to be united
and the Great Northern is to absorb
the Stickney road. It is also to ob-
tain possession of the "Soo." The
Susquehanna and Western is to be
bought by any half dozen different
lines and the Baltimore and Ohio is
to become a Gould property. If the
consolidators continue their work
there will not bo an independent
road left.
THK POSTAL TKLKGKAl'H.
The present Congress 6ays the
New York Continent is not going to
consider the postal " telegraph.
None the less it is a reform that is
sure to come sooner or later. 'The
public demand for it is undoubtedly
growing and will soon become iire-
sistible. We are aware that there
are those who denounce the idea as
dangerous paternalism. But would
these same people wish to abolish
the postofiice and intrust their cor-
respondence to a private company?
And how can it be wise to let the
Government carry our letters but
dangerous to allow it to forward our
telegrams?
The only difficulties in the postal-
telegraph scheme are minor ques-
tions of ways and means and the ad-
justment of the Government's rela-
tions with the existing companies.
These could easily be overcome.
The present Postmaster-General has
emphatically expressed his readi-
ness to undertake the task whenev-
er Congress will give him the neces-
sary legislation. In England where
the telegraph system is in the hands
of the Postofiice Department it
costs twelve cents to send twelve
words between anv- two points and
at this low rate there is an annual
prfit to the Government of over
S500.000. There is no doubt that
an American postal telegraph could
show still better results in the way
of efficient service at low rate3.
tiii: south ni:ki savings msks.
It should bo persistently impress-
ed upon the people of the South
says the Manufacturers Record in n
lengthy summary from the St. Louis
Republic on the amount annually
deposited in savings banks north
and south tho importance of estab-
lishing savings banks. No commun-
ity will develop habits of economy
aud savings unless encouraged there-
to by having a place where every
spare dime or dollar can be deposi-
ted with absolute safety and with a
certainty of drawing a fair rate of
interest. With savings banks near
at hand every man woman and
child gets into the habit of econo
mizing and putting away a few cents
or a few dollars as often as possible
in order to prepare for a rainy day.
Where savings banks are not con
venient there is but little induce-
ment for the people to make the
small savings which gradually i
gregate as in New England into
hundreds of millions of dollars. The
South is now producing an enor-
mous amount of wealth : its farmers
are prosperous : its laboring classes
of all kinds are fully employed at
good wages and with a united ef-
fort through the organization of sav-
ings associations it would now ac-
cumulate surplus wealth more rapid-
ly than any country in the world has
ever done. The millions of dollars
that are now hid away in old stock-
ings would be drawn out and would
furnish' an enormous amount of
fresh capital with which to handle
the business of that section. The
leaders in Southern development
should consider these facts and en-
deavor to begin the great work of
developing savings banks. There is
scarcely a town in the South where
a well-managed savings institution
could not be made profitable and at
the same time prove of much value
to the business interests of the nlace.
and encourage in the town as well
as the surrounding country- habits
of thrift and economy. The
South will never attain the financial
strength which it should have until
it learns to concentrate and aggre-
gate its money by means of vvell-
managed savingf banks.
AX OKATOl! AXD STATES3IAX.
Mr. Gossett's speech in the legis-
lature Tuesday for his bill to declare
chattel mortages on unmatured
agricultural products void showed
him to be an orator and statesman.
He proved from the state agricul-
tural reports says an Austin corres-
pondent that chattel mortages on
crops are increasing near about 100
per cent every year. That they are
destroying the personal independ-
ence of the poor men engaged in
farming and he contended that the
law under which they are legalized
was adopted to meet the supposed
needs of the people emerging from
reconstruction and is entirely unfit
for the free Texas of to-day.
The speech can not be summariz-
ed and do the speaker justice but it
was a ringing warning against a
relic of the dark days of reconstruc-
tion that will probably mark a suc-
cessful final assault upon a measure
that lends the aid of the criminal
law to the money lender in making
his collections.
1VOKSK THAX AX OKDIXAKY MUZ:
FIGHT.
"Articles of agreement have been
entered by Captain T. S. Shiel and
Peter Erea for a broad sword con-
test on horseback for S500 a side.
Luke Short is stake holder. The
battle will occur as soon as the men
can train" Prize fights with light
gloves have become frequent while
the authorities winked at this viola-
tion of the law in spirit if not in
letter but we wonder if men will be
permitted to go into a broad sword
contest without restraint and in case
they engage in this contest and one
i& slain what the charges against
his slayer will bet If there is no
law to prohibit such'a contest the
22nd Legislature could do nothing
better in the time it would take
them to enact.one.
fxi:iutai:y -yrouMS.
The weather prognosticator W. T.
Foster of St. Joseph. Mo. says that
while tho next storm wave will be
of more than average force it will
not be a great storm as will be the
one following. It will bo due to
leave the Pacific coast about the
17th cross the Rocky-Alleghenv
valley from the 18th to the 20th and
reach tho Atlantic coast about the
21st. This storm will cause snows
north of the 40th deg. and rains
south of it while the cold wave fol-
lowing it will go below the average
for the time of year. The storm
will principally affect the Southern
states. -
The greatest storm of the month
will' be due to leave the Pacific
coast about the 23d cross the great
valley between the 24th and 2Gth
and reach the Atlantic coast about
the 27th. It will begin to show
signs of force about the time it de-
scends the eastern slope of the
Rockj- mountains and will begin a
furious storm after it has crossed
the Mississippi river about the 25th
and will become a great storm in
Eastern states about the 2Gth or
27th. Following this storm a cold ;
wave will reach far into the South-j
t J.U -1J n.-t
iuu suues wiui very cuiu nunuiur
along the line between Canada and
the United States. It will not cause
as much ra;n and snow as did the
storms between tho 8th aud 14th
but the snows will be more of the
blizzard kind. The storm may have
sufficient force to develop tornadoes
in the Southern states but the indi-
cations do not certainly imply a
tornado period.
Another blizzard has swept over
tho North apparently from Dakota
to the Atlantic. It has had the
same effect in the matter of mixing
up wires that nearly every similar
storm has had in New York this
winter and we are again told that
the telephone has ceased to work
there that the electric lights cannot
be lit in consequenco of the danger
from tangled and broken wires:
that tho electric street cars have
ceased running for a like reason;
that the fire alarm circuits are down
and many telegraph wires are use-
less. This is a very old story
which has been told so often this
winter that it has become monoto-
nous. It apparently requires but
a slight breeze to completely upset
the entire electric system of New
York and other Eastern cities.
According to the official returns
which have been compiled and pub-
lished in the New York Tribune
Almanac the Democrats in' the
November eleciion carried 29 of the
44 States by pluralities aggregating
1U1010 and the Republicans 15
States by pluralities aggregating
100531 leaving a net plurality for
the jjemocrats of 919079 the largest
ever polled for any party in the
Union. The figures that produce
this result are in everv case the
votes polled for the heads of state
tickets where there were such tickets
and the vote for congressmen where
there were no state tickets. The In
dependent Farmer's Alliance vote
which does not enter into this com-
putation would immensely increase
the popular majority against the
Republicans whose defeat was the
most overwhelmingone in ourpoliti-
cal annals. ' '
SCIENTIFIC 31ISCELLAIST.
EVIDENCE OF A GREAT METEORIC SHOWER.
In au account- of Mexican meteori-
tes Mr. Fletch an. English mineral-
ogist describes fourteen huge masses
of iron which have been found within
a small section of country. The
largest has the form of a beehive
rises four feet above the ground
and is five feet in diameter at thej
surface of the soil beneath which it
extends to unknown depth. The
second mass estimated to weigh'
4000 pounds is now in the National
Museum at Washington. The
Butcher masses number eight pieces
weighing from 290 pounds to 650
pounds and having a total weight of
of 4000 pounds. TSue Sanchez estate
mass weighs 252 pounds and the
Fort Duncan mass 97 pounds.
The greatest dispersion is (50 miles.
HUNGER AND INFECTION.
The important fact that hunger in-
creases liability to contract certain
diseases has been demonstrated ex-
perimentally by two Turin doctors.
Pigeons usually resist anthrax but
after a fast of six days they proved
amenable to the virus if food was
stilL withheld but resisted it if food
was given at the same time as the
virus. When the fasting was con-
tinued for two days after the inocu-
lation and food then given the
disease was not prevented but ran a
slower course. Even birds well fed
up to the time of the inoculation
proved susceptible to the virus if
kept without1 food after inoculation.
THE ELECTEICL MAP.
An instructive scientific toy sold
in Paris consists of a map with
metaliq plugs inserted to mark the
chief town. Questions at the sides
of the map ask what are the chief
towns of the different Departments
and also have a metalic plug for
each. A small electric bell and a
dry pile are provided. The child
puts one end of the conducting wire
over any question plug and moves
the other end over the town plugs
until the bell rings when the town
is correctly indicated.
influenza's cradle.
Prof. Tessier of the Medical
Faculty of Lyons finds influenza to
be a growth of Russian soil and a
smouldering malady when not a
raging one. The winter life of the
people in close heated houses the
bad drainage of the level soil the
universally sodden condition during
the April thaw and the filthiness of
the farm-yards streets and rivers
all tend to niake this the home of in-
fluenza. The microbe of the disease
in fact exists in the putrid mud left
bv the river floods. -
The last or a series of five iron
bridges contracted for in 1S90 by
tho Bee county commissioners'
court has just been completed says
the Beeville Bee. Others will be
built as necessity requires. In the
construction of these bridges bonds
were issued and taken up by the
permanent school fuud. thus giving
the children of the county the inter-
est on the bridge bonds instead of
outside capitahsts. Bee county is
distinctively a progressive county.
