IMPORTANCE OF THE PORT.
It is gratifying to read in the press of
the interior cities of Texas of the growing
attention which is being bestowed on the
port of Galveston. The Tribune recently
adverted to the fact that imports through
Galveston were gradually increasing and
that the people of Texas Snd of the west
generally were beginning to use the port
more freely as an entrepot for the stuff
they buy in foreign countries. This has
led the Austin Tribune to express the be-
lief that Galveston as a seaport is worthy
of great attention and that within the
next 50 years this city will rank with the
greatest ports in the world.
While all this is very gratifying, it
has been no secret here since deep water
was first assured that so soon as the
people of Texas wake up to the fact that
they can save quite as much on their im-
ports by using Galveston as they now
save on their exports, as a result of deep
water here, the growth of Galveston will
surprise even her staunchest friends. This
port yearly saves to the producers of
Texas millions and millions of dollars. It
does not necessarily follow that all the
exports seek the sea through Gaveston,
nor does it mean that a saving is made
only on such exports as pass through this
port. But the fact that there is deep
water here, where the greatest ships
afloat today may come and go with car-
goes, makes the rate for every pound of
stuff exported from Texas regardless of
the gateway through which it may pass.
After all, in commercial life, the rate is
the thing. It does not require any very
high order of mathematical talent to
figure out that if exporting through Gal-
veston saves the farmers and the mer-
chants millions every year, importing
through the same port would save them
something. Unfortunately imports, like
texports, move in large volume. It would
tnot pay to export a few bales of cotton
and it probably would not pay to import a
few crates of toys or a few dozen Pfiirs of
those “made in Germany.” But when the
people realize that they can save great
iSums by the use of their port they will
foe awake to their own interest in a way
Jhat will make the docks here fairly hum
[with activity. Galveston, as a city, will
foenefit to some extent, it is true, when
Shis day comes, but her gain, when com-
pared with the gain the state will make,
.{will be as nothing to the national debt,
ffhis is demonstrated by the fact that the
Ifetate is enriched every year by millions
in the saving effected on the cost of mar-
keting her products, while the profit to
Galveston is merely nominal.
T Miss Clara Elarton says she courts the
fullest investigation and goes right ahead
Suspending every one who dares to object
Ito her methods in conducting the Red
Gross society. It may be she will suspend
Congress when the time comes.

RACE-SUICIDE LUNATICS.
Waco Times-Herald.
That club pledged to stand sponsor in
each of its members for a family of at
least five children should be hit on the
head with a stuffed club and knocked
senseless. There is neither good sense,
good morals, nor good citizenship involved
in it. It is based upon propositions that
are in themselves unworthy of a high
manhood, if they be not dishonoring to a
true womanhood. To breed children is by
no means the highest function of pater-
nity, the quality being the prime consid-
eration. It is certain that the fad will not
long survive the intelligent and discrimi-
nating criticism of brains.
THREE KINDS OF MEN.
Victoria Advocate.
Some won’t advertise when business is
good; they say they don’t need it.
Some won’t advertise when business is
dull; they say they can’t afford it.
There are others who advertise all the
time.
These “all-the-time" advertisers are the
ones who progress. They prosper in dull
times. They increase their business in
good times. They’re constantly pushing.
They are the ones who leave their half-
hearted brother asleep at the roadside.
WANTS BETTER AUTHORITY.
San Antonio Light.
The Galveston Tribune having said:
“Water as a chaser Is popular generally
in the south, but not just now with resi-
dents in the Mississippi lowlands.”
Joe Boehmer has the temerity to say the
following In the Floresville Chronicle:
“Did you ever try water just by itself?
It isn’t so bad. Ask Easterling of the Gr-
ange Tribune about It”
Oh pshaw! What does Easterling know
about the taste of water?
NEW BURGLAR TRAP. ’

The Hughes Springs (Tex.) New Era has
just cause to say, “I told you so!” The
editor asked a prominent citizen to .sub
scribe. He replied he didn’t ha e rime to

caught him reading one of his neighbor’s
papers.

The merchant who advertises not only
helps the newspaper, but he helps himself,

FAREWELL TO SETTING SUN.
Shinnecock Stoic Prepared for Death After
Manner of His Race.
Little Nick, L. I.—With weight of years
upon him and hearing the voice of the
Great Spirit calling him to the happy
hunting grounds of his forefathers, John
Waters, an old Shinnecock Indian of this
place, several days ago disposed of his
estate among the children after the old
tribal custom, and then, bidding a formal
farewell to the setting sun, entered his
log hut and lay down and died.
Waters lived on a small farm here from
the earliest recollection of gray-haired na-
tives. He was taciturn and dealt with the
whites only when necessary.
He was also of a frugal turn and his
fafm is one of the choicest tracts of land
jin this vicinity, and its quaint log hut was
a picturesque landmark. No one knew this
old Indian’s age. His family consisted of
four sons, John, Solomon, James and Isaac,
and four daughters, Oney, Bertha, Jane
and Susan.
While apparently in his usual health,
Waters realized^ that his end was near, so
one day he simply walked out into his
fields, paced off the ground and set up
monuments. Then he gathered his children
and gave two parcels of land outright to
his own married sons. The remainder he
directed was to be held in common by his
other children under the management of
his daughter Oney. It was with difficulty
that the old man could be induced to give
a deed to his sons. He considered his word
all that was necessary.
TURBINE STEAMER LAUNCHED.
The Queen Will Be Used in the English
Channel Service.
Glasgow—The first turbine steamer in-
tended for the service across the channel
was launched today at Dumbarton. The
vessel, which is named the Queen, is in-
tended for the service of the dint rail-
ways. A feature of the new boat is the
accommodatio. nand attention that will be
given to women passengers, who will have
practically the whole forward end of the
steamer.
ENFORCEMENT OF
NEGRO SUFFRAGE
Union League Club of New York
Wants Black Race Protected,
AFTER ENFORCEMENT
OF LAW IN SOUTH
Will Appeal to Congress to Cut Down
Congressional Representation
South, of Mason and Dixon
Line,
New York^ N. Y., April 9.—The members
of the Union League club of this city will
take radical steps, it is said, favoring
negro suffrage in the south a,t their regu-
lar meeting, which occurs tonight.
In a word, congress will be apealed to
to deal with the question along the line of
a radical reduction of representation of
the southern states in, congress.
It is just a year ago that the Union
League club was divided on the question
of discharging negro attendants. The
negro servants were kept by a vote of 3
to 1 after a stormy session.
The report of the club committee on
political reform, which is expected to pre-
cede the action favoring negro suffrage,
will, it is believed, create a sensation in
the southern states. After reciting that
southern stales have taken steps to cir-
cumvent national legislation giving suf-
frage to negroes, the report recommends
that congress be asked to take up the
question without a moment’s delay.
It recommends also that this body be
asked to cut down southern representa-
tion and that a large sum of money be
appropriated to test the validity of the re-
cently adopted constitutions in Alabama,
Virginia and other states in the south.
The ablest counsel in this country will
be employed to prepare and a^ue these
test cases regarding the constitutions
mentioned. In addition to the sums ap-
propriated, it is proposed to ask the in-
dividual members of th® club to con-
tribute.
One of the prime movers in this move-
ment is said to be ex-Secretary of the In-
terior Cornelius N. Bliss.
The club is expected to, adopt resolu-
tions following the adoption of the com-
mitee’s report. Ten thousand copies of
these resolutions will be circulated to
state senators, prominent churchmen and
those in authority everywhere.
President Roosevelt was vice president
of the club in 1899. He is still prominent
in its ccmmiis.
Gen. Horace Porter, Joseph H. Choate,
John Jay and George Cabot Mard have
also acted as presidents of the club a,t
different times. The late Hamilton Fish
and William MJ. Evarts also had that dis-
tinction in their lifetime. So has Senator
Depew.
John D. Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Mor-
gan and Andrew Carnegie are members
of the club, the two latter being on the
governing committee. The list of the
members includes also William D. Sloane,
George F. Baker, Whitelaw Reid, John
Jacob Astor, D. O. Mills and many other
prominent men.

EASTER HOLIDAY RECESS.
English Cabinet Uncertain Where It
Stands on Educational Bill Until
Next Week.
New York, N. Y., April 9.—The Easter
holiday recess enables the ministers to'
take account of stock, says a London dis- '
patch to the Tribune. They havp not yet
received assurances that the Nationalist
convention w,.. sanction the land pur-
chase bill when there is no home rule bill
behind it. If these assurances are not
withheld the passage of the Irish measure
will encounter little resistance and the
ministry will gain considerable prestige.
The London supplement education bill
will be strenuously fought by the Lib-
erals, but they will have less assistance
from the non-conformists than they had
last year. The bllil is obviously meant to
be amended in committee so that the
county council will have full control of
educational administration. Mr. Cham-
berlain is reported to be better pleased
with the education bill than with the
land bill. Both measures will have his
support, since (South African questions
must be settled without a political dis-
turbance in England this year. With a
favorable budget the government is likely
to pull through the session comfortably.

All young girls at this period of
life are earnestly invited to write
to Mrs. Pinkham for advice ; she
has guided in a motherly way
hundreds of young women; her
advice is freely and cheerfully
given; her address is Lynn, Mass.
Judging from Vie letters she is re-

Pinkham is inclined to the belief that
our girls are pushed altogether too
near the limit of their endurance now-
adays in our public schools and semin-
aries; less learning and more health
needed.
HAVEYOU GOT
RHEUMATISM?
YOU CAN BE CURED; FREE
A Scientific Discovery Which Will Revolutionize
the Treatment of Rheumatism.
Deformity of the hands in general
Chronic Articular Rheumatism.
Type No. 2.
It is now possible to be cured of any
form of rheumatism without having your
stomach turned upside down or being
half choked to death and made to vomit,
and every sufferer from rheumatism should
welcome this new and marvelous discov-
ery with open arms and give it an honest
trial. This new remedy was discovered by
John A. Smith, Milwaukee, Wis., who is
generous enough to send it free to every
sufferer who writes at once. It is a home
treatment and will not keep you from your
work.
As you know, if you’ve tried them, every
so-called rheumatic remedy on the market
today, except this genuine cure, will cause
you violent stomach pains and vomiting,
and some of them. are so dangerous they
will cause heart-trouble. And the worst
of it is they never cure. When a person
has rheumatism the constitution is so run
down that he should be very careful what
he puts into his stomach.
It therefore gives me pleasure to pre-
sent a remedy that will cure every form
and variety of rheumatism without one
single unpleasant feeling. That remedy is
“GLORIA TONIC.”
Before I decided to tell the world about
the discovery of “Gloria Tonic” I had it
tried on hospital patients, also on old and
crippled persons, with perfect success. But
some people never will believe anything
until they know it from experience, so the
best and quickest way is for you to write
me that you want to be cured, and I will
send you a box of “Gloria Tonic” free of

cost. No matter what your form of rheu-
matism Is—acute, chronic, muscular, in-
flammatory, deformant, sciatic, neuralgia,
gout, lumbago, etc.—“Gloria Tonic” will
surely cure you. Do not mind if other
remedies have failed you, nor mind if doc-
tors say you are incurable. Mind no one,
but write me today sure. “Gloria Tonic”
will stop those aches and pains, those In-
flammations and deformities, and cure you
so that life will again be worth living.
This offer is not for curiosity seekers, but
is made to rheumatics only. To them I
will send a trial box of “Gloria Tonic”
free.
Never before has a remedy been so high-
ly indorsed as “Gloria Tonic.” It has been
indorsed by such world-noted men as Dr.
Quintero of the University of Venezuela;
Hon. E. H. Plumacher, United States
Consul, Maracaibo; Prof. Macadam of Sur-
geons’ Hall, Edinburgh; the famous maga-
zine “Health,” London, and a column of
others.
If you are a sufferer cut this advertise-
ment out and send It to me with your
name and address, plainly written and by
return mail you will receive “Gloria Ton-
ic,” and also the most elaborate book ever
written on the subject of rheumatism, ab-
solutely. free. This book contains many
drawings from actual life and will tell you
all about your case. You get "Gloria Ton-
ic” and this wonderful book at the same
time, both free, so let me hear from you
at once and soon vou will be cured. Ad-
