Special to The Times Democrat.
Washington, April 10.—Senator Allison
to-day took Mr. N. Wright Cuney, the col-
ored ex mayor of Galveston, Tex., and in-
troduced him to Secretary of the Treasury
Windom. Mr. Cuney wants to be collector
of the port at Galveston, and Senator Allison
is only returning favor for favor, for the
Texas delegation voted for him for president
last June at the Chicago convention, mainly
through the influence of Cuney. Secretary
Windom informed Senator Allison that it
was true that the treasury department had
adopted a rule not to appoint any colored
man to office.
There is something about this that
will impress the average reader with the
conviction that it is true. If true a
storm of crimination and recrimination
may be expected to burst over this un-
happy community. The association of
names in the dispatch will strike the
reader forcibly.
It is well known that Cuney was large-
ly instrumental in holding the Texas

Allison. This was only after Cuney was
convinced that Blaine was not a possi-
bility; that his fealty to Allison wasrec-
ognizedj and reciprocated is shown by the
action of Senator Allison in introducing
Cuney to the secretary of the treasury.
The only thing that casts any suspi-
cion on the dispatch is the announce-
ment that Cuney is ex-mayor of Galves-
ton. On second thought this may not
be so far from the truth. When it is re-
membered how close Mr. Cuney was to
the throne of this little island world
from 1883 to 1885, ex-mayor does not
sound so bad.
Admitting, however, that “ex-maycr”
was a slip of the pen, there is enough in
the dispatch to set political calculations
in this vicinity spinning somewhat reck-
lessly. That there was, (and is yet, if he
is in the race) opposition to Cuney’s ap-
pointment to the position of collector of
this port, goes without saying. While
Evening Tribune could give an inter-
esting analysis of this opposition and
the present situation it would be just a
little previous to do so at this time. The
tale may be told later.

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
The directors of the Galveston Ath-
letic association received this morning
their charter approved by the authorities
in Austin. The capital stock calls for
$10,000, to be divided into 1000 shares
at $10 a share. The following gentle-
men have been appointed a committee to
wait upon the citizens desirous of en-
couraging this new organization. Their
names are L. S. McKinney, Wm. Reppen,
E. R. Raby, J. D. Sawyer and E. T.
Dodds. The amount of stock at present
subscribed for is $1400.
A costly warning to children, both
large and small, who make a practice of
jumping on moving vehicles, especially
railway and street cars, is furnished in a
fatal accident that occurred yesterday.
Within the past few weeks the police
have made an effort, more or less ener -
getic, to suppress this dangerous prac-
tice in this city. It goes without saying
that this effort has not been successful,
for not a day passes but passengers on
street cars can see children, from the
toddling little tot to the fifteen and six-
teen year old budding hoodlum, grabbing
frantically at passing street cars, to the
annoyance of both passengers and driv-
ers and to the danger of life. It does
seem that if proper effort was made on
the part of the authorities that this prac-
tice could be suppressed. To suppress
it, however, will require vigorous meas-
ures and the most watchful attention of
the officers of the city government.
Evening Tribune has, time and time
again, called attention to this practice
and here again sounds the warning and
will let the fatal result of this practice
tell a tale that should admonish the au-
thorities to redouble their efforts in the
direction of its suppression. The Hous-
ton Post of this morning says that on
yesterday a driver on one of the street
cars in that city saw standing near the
track a little sixteen month’s old child.
The driver noticed that this little tot was
not near enough to the track to be in
danger of collision with the car, but
imagine his surprise and horror, when,
an instant later he heard a deathly cry,
and almost instantly applying the brake
he stopped the car only to find that the
child had made an effort to grasp the
car as it passed and had been thrown
under the hind wheel with fatal results, delegation in the Chicago convention for
It is not necessary to elaborate upon this
sickening story, but it is a warning that
carries with it its own moral, and again,
Evening Tribune asks of the city au-
thorities more earnest measures to pro-
tect this city from a similar horror.
SOME OLD FASHIONS REVIVED.
There is at present a revival of old
fashions steadily going on. Popular
favor has returned to many of the cus-
toms of early times and our homes are
rapidly assuming an air of the past.
The old spinning wheel has returned
from exile and forms a conspicuous and
interesting ornament in our homes.
Quaint old tapestries, rugs and articles
of furniture have been restored to de-
served popularity.
There is a reason for this revival.
Our ancestors were of the substantial
kind and their tastes were accordingly
marked.
They looked to their personal comfort
and when it was attained they stopped.
Fashion’s foibles had no charm for
them and in mind and person they were
the equal of any people the world has yet
seen.
Quick in perception and accurate in
judgment, they soon detected the cause
of any physical discomfort and as quickly
applied the proper means for the remov-
al of it.
Conspicuous among some of the old
fashions recently revived has been the
reproduction of some of our grand-
mother’s early time home cures, which
are now holding a deserved position in
popular favor, under the name of Warn-
ea’s Log Cabin remedies and include a
Sarsaparilla for the blood, Hops and
Buchu for the stomach and system,
Cough Remedy for colds, Extract for
internal or external pain, Hair Tonic,
Rose Cream for catarrh, Plasters and
Pills.
For purity, simplicity and for their
genuine beneficial properties they are un-
equaled and are worthy of our good old
grandmothers, who first produced them.
May there be a revival, by their use, of
the good health and long lives of early
times!

A SEVERE TEST.
When a manufacturer, from years of
observation, has so completely satisfied
himself of the universal satisfaction
given by his products that he feels fully
warranted in selling them under a certi-
ficate of guarantee, it is very natural to
believe that such a producer has im-
plicit confidence in the merits of his
goods, and that too, not without a good
reason. Such confidence is possessed by
the World’s Dispensary Medical associa-
tion of Buffalo, N. Y., in Dr. Pierce’s
Family Medicines, and hence his “Fa-
vorite Prescription” is sold by druggists
as no other medicine for similar purposes
ever was, under a positive guarantee that
it will in every case give satisfaction, or
money paid for it will be refunded. It
cures all those distressing and delicate
ailments and weaknesses peculiar to
women. It is not necessary to enumerate
the long catalogue of derangements, both
functional and organic, of the human
system which this marvelous remedy
overcomes. They are, alas! but too
well known to most females who have
attained womanhood to need more than
a hint to make them plain to their un-
derstanding.
The hungry man is never offended by
the odors of the kitchen. Keep your
liver in good order with
Warner’s Log- Cabin LIVER PILLS
and good digestion will wait on appetite
and health on both. They are purely
vegetable, pleasant but effective in ac-
tion.
