The following somewhat breezy story
comes from Gallup, N.M.: “Nellie Bly
passed here last night (22nd inst) on a
special train running at the rate of over
fifty miles an hour. Three miles east of
this place the track repairers were placing
the stringers on the bridge over a deep
canyon. The rails were in place but only
held up by jack screws. The workmen
heard the special coining and tried to flag
it, but they were too late. The engine
and car went thundering over the ravine
and passed safely. The escape is a
miracle, and section men who witnessed
the tram flash past on its straw-like struc-
ture regard the escape as one of the most
marvelous in railway history.”

Some communities recognize the neces-
sity and value of public parks, even if
Galveston does not. Louisville, Ky., by
her city council lias recently adopted a
measure which provides for the issuance
of $600,000 forty-year 4-per-cent bonds,
$400,000 of which is to be expended in
the purchase of lands for park purposes,
and $200,000 in improving the same.
But then vve may do something when we
get up to that 10-foot level.
The situation in the house of repre-
sentatives is pretty fairly summed up
by ex-Speaker Carlisle when lie says
that Speaker Reed will have complete
and absolute control of legislation, and
that individual congressmen will be
mere figureheads. Under the new rules
the committees will have entire charge
of the order of business and as these
committees represent the majority party,
the minority will be absolutely powerless.
The New York Times, refenng to the
negro question, draws the line at the
proper place when it says: “We of the
north have been accustomed to regard
the negro question as mainly a political
question. To the southerners, who are
now most exercised about it, it is mainly
social and industrial, and only incident-
ally political.” There is the whole ques-
tion in a nutshell.
There is an idea in the following fi om
the Chicago News that is respectfully re-
ferred to the police officers in this city:
“So long as the police regard the press
and its inquisitiveness after news with
suspicion as a rival and an inimical insti-
tution the two chief agencies for the pro-
bon of society work at cross purposes
and thieves and miscreants are rejoiced.”

The Kentucky legislature now in ses-
sion is .after lotteries. Better let them
alone—unless they can be suppressed
everywhere. People will buy lottery
tickets as long as lotteries are run and
yoiwnight as well let them buy at home
as to have them send out of the state.

The new directory ot Galveston, soon
to be issued by Messrs. Morrison &
Fourmy, promises to show an increase
in the population of Galveston since the
last one was issued of something over
5,000. Who said Galveston had got her
growth ? _________________
One of the leading surgeons of the
United States army says that not one-
third of our population could pass the

The market price of legs as fixed by in-
surance companies does not hold good.
At least a Chicago jury recently gave
Henry Bush, a fireman, judgment against
the Northern Pacific railroad for $40,000.
Bush lost the use of his legs by an acci-
dent on the road. There is many a slip,
however, between a judgment and a
collection.

Arrangements have been completed by
which Evening Tribune secures the ad-
vantages of a system of special telegraph
service covering every important point in
the state—a service that will be practi-
cally equal to that of any other paper in
Texas. It has required much time and
expense to arrange the details, but this is
now accomplished, and now only delays
and friction incident to the starting of
new machinery lie between its promising
fulfillment. This arrangement is made
and the additional expense incurred in
full faith that our patrons—advertisers
and subscribers—will promptly recognize
the enterprise of the paper in inaugurat-
ing such an important news service.

And now the shadow takes the shape
Of one who prays on bended knee.
Ah, well I know whose name it is
Makes up the burden of that plea.
Without, beneath the darkening sky,
The night wind moans among the leaves;
Within, where yon pale shadow droops,
A saintly spirit waits and grieves.
Like one from paradise shut out,
I lift my eyes with longing gaze—
Would God I too were kneeling there.
As in the blessed by-gone days!
Between the parted curtains now
Shines forth a tender star-like face.
Hush, hungry heart 1 Be still! be still!
Back, haunting memories, to your place!
The vision fades; the night wears on;
I turn with slow unwilling feet;
My sin the angel with the sword
That drives me from that Eden sweet.
—Harper's Bazar.
At yonder casement, wide and low,
Where soft the rosy lamplight glows.
Across the curtain’s filmy web
A dream-like shadow comes and goes.
And while entranced i watch it pass,
The fair head bent with gentle grace.
In rippling lengths of golden sheen
The loosened tresses veil the face.

Thus ever I dream what you were, Jeannette,
With your lips and your eyes and your hair, my pet
In the darkness of desolate years I roam,
And my tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair.
George D. Prentice has caught the beauty
in a reverse side of a sad picture. As a rule,
smitten ones mourn a presence lost, and only
kind dreams'grant them the boon that wak-
ing hours deny. The vision is a glimpse of
heaven, but consciousness is the punishment
of Tantalus. The poet of The Louisville
Journal once paid his living wife the honor
to miss her during a temporary absence, to
dream of her presence and to greet her re-
turn :
’Tis midnight, with a soothing spell,
The far-off tones of the ocean swell,
Soft as a mother’s cadence mild,
Low bending o’er her sleeping child;
And on each wandering breeze 'are heard
The rich notes of the mocking bird
In many a wild and wondrous lay.
But I am sad—thou art away.
I sink in dreams, low, sweet and clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear;
Around my cheek thy tresses twine,
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine,
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed,
Thy head is pillowed on my breast;
Oh! I have all my heart holds dear,
And I am happy—thou art here.
Queer old Prentice—ill-clad, shambling,
rough spoken—had one of the warmest of
hearts and the rare faculty of twining bright
thoughts about strong lines.
Sometimes the being licensed to have his
productions printed in small type and to cab
them poetry has drawn a worse than blank
in life’s lottery, and thereupon sets out to
berate the sex in general. For him there may
be excuse, but for Lord Lytton, whose wife
was to him all Claude Melnotte could ever
hope for from Pauline, there was little apology
for the following from “The Lady of Lyons:’
The man who sets his heart upon a woman
Is a chameleon and doth feed on air.
From air he takes his colors, holds his life,
Changes with every wind—grows lean or fat,
Rosy with hope or green with jealousy,
Or pallid with despair, just as the gale
Varies from north to south, from heat to cold.
Oh, woman! woman! thou shouldst have few sins
Of thine own to answer fori Thou art the author
Of such a book of follies iu a man
That it would need the tears of all the angels
To blot the record out.
It has been said the sex sinks deeper when
they fall than any level reached by man. If
this be tri e it must surely be because women
occupy a greater height when both are at
their normal altitude, and that, descending,
woman, by a sort of moral momentum, re-
pays her near relationship to angels with a
severer degradation. The motive spring of
all emotions, the ocean into which all rivers
of purpose run. the fertile soil from which all
progress springs, fairer than man and with
emotions more varied, the receptive to bis | tr'il'nil'Tim Di

the love song till the time old age lays down
its burdens, love alone can win and love alone
retain all that is best in woman.—Chicago

It is that Impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or. feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can-
cerous growths, or the many other manifesta-
tions usually ascribed to “humors;” which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.
T£nCURED
By taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
“ My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months
old till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg, became
a running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hood’s Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis-
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy
child.” J. S. Carlile, Nauright, N. J.

Some of the Things the Poets Have Said
Both For ami Against Woman.
How shall woman be wooed? Let no ran-
dom counsel guide her. Women are as vari-
ous as the leaves in the wood, and each leaf
has a mood lor each hour of its life from
swelling spring to crackling autumn. De-
voirs that would be most acceptable to one
might. be repulsed with stinging force by
others; and addresses that were welcome at
noon, even though clothed in identical gar-,
merits, may pall at night. No man can tell.
Arrows shot at a venture often find joints in
the harness of a heart as well as of a king.
Some women were made to ba taken by siege,
and all the storming of Mare Antony could
not compel surrender; and some would rush
to capture in the swift assault who could de-
fend walls, gates and circling moats forever
and a day. But mark your lady! She who
would capitulate to the stubborn wooer may
change her liking with the flying hours and
change it back again—no rule is sure to win.
Btrt however madame should be wooed, she
demands at least that she be loved, and reads
in her article of faith that constancy, is part
of vows. She wants no wandering and will
threaten none, Shakespeare’s advice is:
Let the woman take
An elder than herself; so wears she to him,
So sways she level in her husband’s heart;
For, boy, however we do praise ourselves
Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm,
More wandering, wavering, sooner lost and won
Than woman's are.
Most of which is a piece of frankness that
approaches slander on a sex not often accused
of frailty. The idea of men being charged
with a giddiness greater than that found in
women is amazing in the memory of Hamlet’s
mother, Cleopatra and a score who illustrate
the charming line: “Frailty, thy name is
woman. ” The singleness of devotion granted
and demarided moves Anna Proctor to the
following passage: )
I break all slighter bonds, nor feel
A shadow of regret.
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith as clear and free
As that which I can pledge to thee?
Tenderness is always most welcome, and he
who can remember a love that has vanished
with crumbling clay wins grace from all her
surviving sisters. This from C. G. Halpine:
Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, Jeannette;
Let me tangle a hand in your hair, my pet.
For the world to me had no daintier sight
Than your brown hair veiling your shoulders white.
Your beautiful dark brown hair.

There is but one expression from the
leading papers of the country comment-
ing on the recent speech of Senator
Ingalls on the negro problem, and that is
perhaps best summed up by the New
York Times, which says he is illogical
and inconsistent, asserting at one mo-
ment that the whites have never spared
the inferior races, never permitted them
equality, and then ludicrously suggesting
that “this portentious race question, can
be settled by registration books and bal-
lot boxes,” winch is simply no sugges-
tion at all. The great jayhawker didn’t
know it was loaded.

If the republican majority in congress
should report and pass a bill provid-
ing a wise and reasonable revision of
the tariff it would have the effect of let-
ting the wind out of more than one little
political boom. It is certainly plain to
the leaders of the republican party that
their president and his policy have not
met the expectation of the voters who
elected him. If the presidential election
of 1888 were on now Cleveland would
carry the country by an overwhelming
majority. No people on earth, or under
it, know this better than the republican
party, rank and file. It is yet time,
however, for the lost ground to be re-
gained. The republican leaders have a
finger on the public pulse and are noting
its action as closely as are democratic
leaders, and no one need be surprised to
see the republicans come to the front
with a bill providing for a very liberal
revision of the tariff. It is the issue, and
the only issue before the people. The
people realize that all the blessings that
promised to flow from the election of a
republican president and the mainten-
ance of the protection tariff do not flow.
Therefore, the public mind is ripe for the
seed. The leading republican papers are
urging upon congress the necessity of
prompt action in the direction of reform.
But, as one authority says, the idea is not
whether the tariff shall be revised and
reformed, but whether it shall be revised
and reformed on the ideas of free trade
or protection. On this point it could be
said, and not miss the mark, that revi-
sion and reform on any idea that carried
with it an equalization of the burdens of
tariff taxation would be something to be
thankful for. If the republicans in con-
gress would do no more than adopt a bill
correcting the inequalities of the
tariff and bring it up to the pres-
ent requirements of business the
country would De duly thankful and
appreciative—and so simple an act as
this might give the g. o. p. another grip
on the presidency.
The democratic minority in the house,
completely powerless under th.e rules and
Pasha Reed’s dictum are occupying an
unenviable position and one that may be
made to serve republican purposes well.
The republicans are going to out-Herod
Herod if possible. A bill for tariff revis-
ion and reform in accordance with
the ideas of protection will be presented
by that side and if the democrats display
the least opposition then a howl will go
up that the democrats are not sincere in
their demands for tariff revision and an
effort will be made to convince the coun-
try that this is the real attitude of the
democratic party.
There is much room for careful work if
the democratic party would profit by the
present unpopularity of the republican
administration.
