communism and the money
problem.
Judge Clark in his Denton speech expati-
ated eloquently on the vital importance of the
money problem without formulating any pre-
cise and specific method for securing such a
currency the country needs for the life
blood of its trade and business. Such a cur-
rency must bo adequate in volume and re-
sponsively tlexiblo to every commercial exi-
gency. Hut from what source and by what
arrangements shall it bo provided? Judge
Clark in his qualified approval of tho plan
submitted by Bank President Coe evidently
leans to the policy of leaving commerce in its
various relations and at its various local
centers free to devise currencies based on
exchangeable values and answerable to all
occasions as they arise. This policy would
climinato government as a factor in tho
matter of providing a circulating medium,
and would limit its office as regards
money to that of tixing n standard of value,
designating a legal tender and putting its
stamp upon coins. It is a policy in keeping
with tho broad definition of democratic faith,
"that that government is best which governs
least; that government is a necessary evil and
that that government is best which is so man-
acled by tho people that it shall interfere just
as little as possible, consonaut with the public
safety, with tho interests, the business and tho
pursuits of the people." The policy advocated
by Judge Reagan in his speech before tho El
l'aso silver convention is quite tho revorso.
Judgo Keagan, like Chairman Clarkson of tho
republican national committee, proposes that
government with outstretched and omnipo-
tent hand shall dismantlo every dangerous ag-
gregation of wealth, shall throttle all tho great
corporations, financial and industrial, and out
of the abundance of its flatistic wisdom, pro-
vido plentiful money for tho people. Thus, if
Judge Reagan is a representative democrat
and if Chairman Clarkson is a representative
republican, thore can bo no issue of principle
—whatever difference may bo developed as
to details—between tho two parties with
reforenco to the money problem. But of
course thore aro democrats and demo-
crats. Judgo Clark's democracy looks to
promoting the welfare of tho people by mini-
mizing government and maximizing personal
and economic liberty for citizens with re-
spoct to industrial occupations and commercial
and financial arrangements. Judgo Reagau's
democracy looks to promoting tho welfaro of
tho i»eoplo by maximizing government and
minimizing personal and economic liberty
for citizens with rcspoct more especially to
corporate industries and combinations for
supplying general or local currency wants of
trade. With him tho idea of a government
of tho people and a money of tho people,
perennially flowing from tho patornal cornu-
copia of such government, seem to bo one and
inseparable. Ho does not disguise his indig-
nation toward eminent democrats who dissent
from the i>olicy of an unlimited coinago of
silver and an unlimited issue of legal teuder
paper to make up for any deficiency of coin.
He calls them "enemios of the (icople's
money." Unconsciously, doubtloss, in using
such language ho surrenders to the theory of
communism. If all tho monoy of the country
must rightfully be created and administered
by tho government us tho peoplo's money,
then when so created and administered it must
belong to the people as a common fund. This
is not all. The sum of all investments and
substantial values measurod or represented by
such money must be regarded as tho common
property of tho people. By logical scquenco
dividends out of that fund and this projierty
must bo due from time to time for regular
distribution per capita among the people with-
out reference to the producing and saving ca-
pacity of tho individual recipient, !>o it an old
man on tho brink of tho gravo or the infant
in tho cradle. The ]>eople'B money by llat of
government as an absoluto fact can not be
other thau tho money of communism.
Speaker Crisp has tendered Mr. Mills tho
second place on the ways and means comtnit-
,ee. If there is still a stiff-necked brother who
denies that there was a deal by which tho
hairmanships went for all they were worth in
the speakership contest and that there was
Tammany i>olitics in the deal it is high time
such a brother was soaking his hard head.
Tho chairmanship of tho ways and means
committee belongs to Springer. The affair on
its face presents a syllogism which admits of
no other conclusion.
primarily foolish or wicked interference with
liberty and economy, and this renders so many
poople idle by causing so many enterprises
to stop when the foreign supply of loanable
cash is cut off by an anti-alien law. The natural
law that property owners will make currency
was interfered with before thore was an inter-
ference with the natural law that foreign
holders of cash will lond it on good security,
and it was the first interference which ren-
dered tho effect of tho second so disastrous.
The wealth in the state would form a natural
basis for a liberal supply of currency with full
security. It is disabled by statute, and this
is tho greater, the more disastrous
intcrforonco with economic freedom* This in-
terference is what most rendered necessary
the borrowing of monoy from outsiders and
therefore caused such arrest of businesss and
labor when the latter source of money was
dried up. It is a mistake, then, to suppose
that with the removal of an anti-alien law
business is placed on a natural basis. On tho
contrary it was suffocating for wa.it of monoy
when alien borrowing occurred as a relief.
And there is never any nutural necessity to
be without money—homo money—where there
is property good enough to secure foreign
gold. Only banking freedom is wanted in
such a case to mold tho security of tho prop-
erty into circulating notes which will do the
office of coin and render the borrowing of
foreign geld altogether unnecessary. People
do not pay even 8 per cent to strangers for
money to look at. They borrow at such a rate
on tine security only because they need money.
Why at this day do they lack currency when
they have solid means of guarantee? Ask
congress why it mukes the natural act of the
property holder and banker a crime.
Thkke is a broad ground upon which all
democrats everywhere may unite. They may
all get together and oppose too much govern-
ment,
Come to think about it, tho Chinese would
be utterly unnatural and foolish to take part
in tho world's fair. The United States is
putting them out every day and is not exclud-
ing anybody else.
The president and the governors do a great
commission business.
THE STATE PRESS.
What the Newspapers Throughout Texas
Are Talking About.
On to Galveston. The Dallas Timcs-Horald
says of tho advent of a little steamer in tho
Trinity river at that point:
Tho steamboat incident yesterday is one of
more interest and importance to Dallas thau
tho public has been disposed to accord it. In
the navigation of tho Trinity is tho hope of
Dallas for a freight rate that will enable this
city to compete with coast cities and St. Louis
on tho north. Tho success of the navagation
project does not depend upon securing water
for ocean steamers. The water is deep enough
ton months in tho year for light draft steam-
ers which can carry freights and tugs to pull
barges, and these will giro Dallas water rates
on her freights.
Many interior papers announce that they
will jump a cog this wook, miss an Issue in do-
terence to Santa Clsus.
The Victoria Advocate says "Thb Galves-
ton News has a peculiar weakness for tooting
its own horn." Not peculiar. Nearly all its
esteemed contemporaries help, or rather lead,
it in the process. The News only toots a
challenge to its rivals in other cities to keep
pace with it, and gives them tho bonefit of tho
Norman maxim. The News lias always led
tho procession.
The Laredo Times says United States Con-
sul General Sutton has returned from a trip to
Monterey, Victoria aud Tampico.
At Tampico Colonel A. T. Wrotnowski,
resident engineer of tho harbor work, met tho
party with the tug Alice and went out on tho
oar. Throo routes of soundings were made
out and as many as to get at tho exact state of
the bar. Mr. Sutton was well pleased with the
amount of work done since his former visit
and also with tho result of this work. There
is no doubt that deep water from eighteen to
twenty-three feet will be secured over the bar
within a year, perhaps in half that time. In-
side is ample water of sufficient depth for all
commercial needs.
Every democrat i» yelling "Got together!"
while the democratic factions continue to get
further apart.
An inalienable right is one that a citizen has
no right to sell or give away.
The appointment of Elkins to be secretary
of war shows just how tho republicans aro get-
ting together. The refusal to appoint Mills of
Texas chairman of the ways and means com-
mittee shows just how tho democrats aro get-
ting apart.
The Charleston News and Courier seeing
tho shadow of Tatnmany and Hill behind
Speaker Crisp, says ho "will be tho greatest
statesman of the generation, aud the boldest
leader in the democratic party, if in tho dis-
charge of his duty as speaker ho shall bo able
to break away from the men and influences
which made him speaker. Wo hope that ho
will be able to escape from his political en-
vironment. He must do it or ho will .wreck
the party. There is no issue upon which the
democracy can achieve victory next year but
the issue of tariff reform."
A DESIRABLE COMBINATION.
It has been intimated to Tub News man-
agement that numerous postofflces in the
state, whilo not having daily mail facilities,
are accommodated with tri-weckly und semi-
weekly mails, and that whilo it would be use-
less for residents at such points to take a daily
paper, they are dosirous of receiving more
than one issue per week. In furtherance of
this desire The News offorsThe Sunday News
(twelve to sixteen pagos) and The Weekly
News (twelve pages; in combination for $2 50
per year, $1 36 for six months, or 76 cents for
threo months. This combination rato will
apply only in such cases whore the two papers
are to be forwarded to tho tamo party.
Separately Tub Suniiay News is $2 00 per
year and The Wekely News $1 00 per year.

A PltlOli DISABILITY.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is among tho
papers having editorial articles on tho alien
land law. What it says is good in general
tenor and effect, similar to the observations rf
many other papers without distinction of
party, at least us between democrat and repub-
lican. But tho Globo-Democrat could bo more
specific than to state tliat "several of tho
courts havo declared against it ou constitu-
tional and other grounds." Tho supremo
court of Texas has declared tho law invalid, of
no effect. That action is conclusive. It may
be interesting to note one of tho Globe-Deino-
crat's comments on this unfortunate legisla-
tion, with a view to briof comment on its
cause. Says that papor:
It is to be hoped that this unfortunate expert-
inent will havo soniw effect in the way of chock-
ing similar proceedings in other states. The fact
tlmt it is UK-loss and foolish to legislate against
natural laws has tioen demon*!rated a .thousand
times. There are some things that cau not ix>
regulated and controllod by ststdtory processus,
aud all interference* of that kind are certain to
produce mischievous rosiilts. Texas nci»dH money
to develop Iter resources and extend her business
agencies and interests, and "he ran not Ket it un-
h'f* -lie is willing to make Jind mid fair laws for
the protection of those who supply thl« want,
t'aiiital carolully avoids a locality where the
riKiitN of creditors are lightly regarded.
The above extract commcnds itself as being
both truo and well expressed. At the same
time it seems as if the natural inforence hud
not presented itself to thq St. Louis writer,
mul tho samo thing has unfortunately to bo
said of most others who havo given tho public
oqually truo caution as far as tho immediate
circumstances of money supply are concerned.
In tho view of Thb News a long continued
statutory repression of credit and its financial
expression is the foolish causo which has had
among ether mischievous results tho tempting
or goading of men totry such artificial and un-
just remedies. It is but a step from that
paternalism which stalks full armed in the
arbitrary monoy policy of congress aud tho
bank suppression policy of both congress aud
tho state, to tho latest attempted denial
of the right of property owners to mako
contracts to suit their own interests, and the
first interference with the froo supply of cur-
rency is tho very fact which causes the marked
dependence of domestic industries on foreign
capital. Tho comparative poverty of Texas is
indeed due in no small degreo to the tariff,
which causes say $50,000,000 of our exports to
procure only $30,000,000 of imports into the
state, but this is a fact as to money in com-
mon with tho wealth of thu state in general.
It is not as specifically related to borrowing
as is that feature of thu established financial
system which binds the citizens, what-
ever their means, to stop trado and
employment unless they use gold and
silvor or goverament notes. This is the
Tub legislature should trifle with trifling
things only.
Nobody will deny that Judgo Clark's Den-
ton speoch is fundamentally democratic.

Another Cincinnatus. Tho Shelby Champ-
ion-Press says:
J. H. Fadon, who has been connected with
the Champion office for the past several years,
has severed his connection with tho oillco and
is now trying his hand on making improve-
ments ou Ins little farm. Padou is a first-
class printer and newspai>er man, but he de-
cided to take a rest from the confinement of
office work.
That is one way to rcst^a little like that
recommended by tho boy in a printing offlco
who told another who had been but a short
time setting typo: "Whenever you feel tired
you can go out and saw wood."
The Willis Index points this way:
It begins to look like it is soon to bo Sen-
ator Mills after all, the Tyler milkmaids and
"bleeding heart" governor to tho contrary not-
withstanding. It is safe to say that fully four-
fifths of tho democrats of Montgomery county
are in favor of Mills for tho senate. Should
the members of the Texas legislature vote the
sentiments of their constituents to whom they
owe their present position, instead of follow-
ing their own private inclinations, Mr. Mill-
will be elected to tho United States senato on
tho very first ballot.
Some of the weekly papers announce that
they will not appear during tho holidsys.
Happy editors and printers.
Tho Boerne Post hurls back the envious
fling of the San Antonio Express and repeats:
Tho Post has no idea of "booming," what
wo write of Boerne is actual and real. It is a
place in which typhoid fovor or fever of auy
kind, or consumption, have never been known
to originate, where there are no endemic dis-
eases; it is a place in which the worn-out and
debilitated will build up shattered energies
faster than anywhere else; and with its fine
scenery, beautiful drives, and health-giving
climate, it is a placc tho liko of which is not
to be found on the glol>e.
The Austin County Times says:
Wonders will never ccaso. Two passenger
trains filled with j-assongors are wrecked on
the Santa Fe in one day and a few slight
scratches are tho worst results. This end of
the Santa Fe system may be going to ruin,
nevertheless it is carrying a phenomenal
amount of luck along with it.
Tho Beaumont Journal ssys:
Lumber shippers havo been given an all-rail
rato to Tampico, Mexico, the road having been
completed through to that point. It is not
r, that any lumber manu-
facturers will avail themselves of the opportu-
nity thus afforded of shipping by rail? the rate
being 70 cent* |>er 100 pounds. This is 1 cent

tically is about prohibitive as though tho

good harbor with sufficient water to accommo-
date any vessel that cau enter at Sabine Pass.
This being a fact, it is safe to promise that no
lumber w ill bo shipped into Tampico by rail—
none, nt least under the present rate. What

the deal involves the transfer by the former to
tho latter of 80,000 acres of long loaf yellow
pine timber. The Journal is not informed as
to the exact price, but knows that it was be-
tween $-1 and $5 per aero, tho aggregato
amount being nearly $400,000. Tho lauds

Novor fear, we don't think there is any

The Nacogdoches Star-News says:
It has boeu readily ascertained that out of
185 cases of successful swindling throughout
the state by traveling sharpers in various ways
by which peoplo of tho rural districts were
robbed, some to tho extent of thousands of
dollars, only nine or ton were subscribers or
readers ol the home county papers.
The dupes, not the sharpers, are meant us
the.yarties who do not tako tho papers^ it is
to be regretted, however, that a good many
credulous people who do take them are often
taken in by moans of swindling advertise-
ments.
Tho Star News says:
Tho southern whito peoplo aro giving to tho
colored people Oqual rights before tho law,
and this is satisfactory to tho greater numbor
of thom and to all sensible ones of tho nogro
race; but, unfortunately for both races, there
are a good many mean whito men from tho
north and other places who aro continually
making trouble by saying and doing things to
make the colored peopledisnatisfled with their
condition. These meddlesome men cause
most of the conflicts between whites and
blacks.

THE LAND OP THE ALBIGENSES.
Peasants of France Who Ara Not as Hap-
py as They Look.
In tho December number of Temple Bar a
writer who knows Frauce as few Englishmen
or, for the matter of that, Frenchmen do, tells
something of tho couutry of tho Albigenos, a
picturesque district, but not a prosperous one:
"I began to cross a highly cultivated plain
toward tho village of Arthez, where the Tarn
issues from tho deep gorges which for many
a leaguo give it tho character of a mountain
river. I thought from the api>earance of tho
land that everybody who lived upon it must
be prosperous and happy; but a peasant whom
I met was of another way of thinking. He
said: 4By working from 3 o'clock in the
morning unttl dark one can just manage to
earn one's bread.' Thoy certainly do work
exceedingly hard, these peasant proprietors,
never counting their hours liko the town
workman, but wiahlng that the day were
longer, and if they can contrive to save any-
thing in these days it is only by constant self-
denial. A man's labor upon his land to-day
will only support him, taxing the bad years
with the gooUj oil the condition that ho lives
a life of primitive simplicity. Even then tho
problem of existence is often a terribly hard
one to solve. In tho south of Franco the blame
is almost everywhere laid to tho destruction
of the vines by the phylloxera; but here in
the plains of Albi the land is quite as suita-
ble for corn as it is for grnpegrowing, which
is far from being the caso elsewhere; never-
theless the peasants cry out with one voice
against the bad times.
"They have to eOntend against two great
scourges—hail that is so often brought by tho
thunderstorms in summer, and which tho
proximity of the Pyrenees may account for,
and the southwest wind—le vent d'autan—
that comes across from Africa and scorches
up the crops in a most mysterious manner.
But for this plague the yield of fruit would be
enormous. On the other hand tho region is
blessed with lavish sunshine from early spring
until November, and a half maritime climate,
explained by the naignborhood of the ocean—
not the Mediterranean—renders long periods
of drouth, such as occur in Provence and low-
er Languedoc, rare. In tiio valleys tho soil is
extremely fertile, and favored by nature and
warmth, its productive power is ;extraordina-
ry. Four crops of lucern are taken from the
same land in tho course of a season. Unfor-
tunutely, these valleys being mere gorges
cracks in the plain, with precipitous rocky
sides—tho strip of land bordering tho stream
at tho bottom is usually very narrow."
VOLCANOES AT THE FAIR
A Novel Exhibit Which la Being Prepared
by tho Smithsonian.
G. P. Merrill of Washington, D. C., was re-
cently at the Laclede hotel, St. Louis. Mr.
Morrill is ono of the curators of tho National
museum, which is under the direction of tho
Smithsonian institution, and for some months
has boon traveling through tho country for the
purpose of seeing what oxhibit can be made
at tho world's fair from the volcanology de-
partment. "Tho main exhibit," he said to a
reporter of the Globe-Democrat, "will be il-
lustrative of the science of volcanoes, which
is of great interest to tho United States on ae-
couut of the number of beautiful volcanic
fields which wo have in the west.
"There are extinct volcanoes in the United
States whose upheavals are of so recent a date
that traces of the lava flow are still standing.
Craters formed of loose lapiili, a material that
is somewhat liko brokeu coke, are still very
perfectly presorved in outline. We want to
show on a series ol maps tho areas of active
volcanoes in the world, and then tho extinct
oleanoes in this country, for we havo no ac-
tive volcanoes here except that at Bogostoff
island, in the Bering sea. Then we will en-
deavor by a series of photographs to give some
idea of how a volcano appears in a condition
of activity. They will be thrown on a ground
of glass which,under tho reflection of a stream
of light, will give a w onderfully realistic effect.
Vesuvius is one of the noted volcanoes which
wo intend to oxhibit in this way. We shall
also endeavor to make models of everything
which we intend showing by photograph.
"Tho object of my visit to this city is to soo
the various caves of interest, the formation of
which wo also intoud to illustrate. The caves,
I daro say you know, are formed through tho
drops of water pereolatingthroughthe crevices
of rock. These drops of water carry with
them a portion of the limestone, which forms
into stalactites or stalagmites, as tho caso may
be. In the stalactite form tho lime hangs from
tho interior of the vacant space, and in the
stalagmite it forms on the floor. In the latter
condition it spreads and forms groat beds.
Tho largo beds of onyx in Crawford county, I
have no doubt, aro tho result of the process
that I havo tried to explain. As to tho longth
of time the formation takes, it depends upon
the speed of evaporation, h or instance, if tho
caves aro exposed to strong drafts, then tho
water disappears much more rapidly than if
they are in u spot which is woli sheltered."

Religious Fanaticism.
Selected.
A recent writor, himself a Russian, has pub-
lished some extraordinary statistics in relation
to tho extent of the numerous fanatical sects
which infest that country. From time im-
memorial such half-crazod bodies of peoplo
have sprung up in Hussia, and the oddity is
that, whilo some of thom dio out, others seem
to spring up with continuous vigor and honesty
of belief. M. Tsakni, the writer to whom we
have referred, believes that there aro not loss
than 16,000,000 followers of insane delusions in
that empire. One ,of these sects is called the
Runaways. Tkoy lly from their villages and
towns as soon as they embrace the new
faith, seeking to aestroy their identity as much
as possible. They return as near to man's
primitive condition as possible, regard civil,
ization as the greatest of ourses, and make the
robbing of churches one of their most sacred
duties. The Skoptskys, another religious
body, believe in self-mutilation, but will not
submit to amputation, although knowing that
a life may bo saved thereby. Tho Dumb
Boys are another of these curious sects. Some
of these patriarches are known to have kept
their vows of silence for moro than half a
century. M. Souekeliff is the lcador of a sect
which preaches suicide as an absoluto necessity
for salvation.
LETTERS FROM A SELF-MADE COOK.
She Has Discovered tho Secret of Sauces
and Tells of Them.
All sauces, like Gaul, may be divided into
three parts. These are flour, butter and
liquid. The flavoring should bo—and with
good cooks always is—purely a matter of
taste. If you understand how to make ono
sauoe you understand how to make all. The
secret of sauces is slow cooking and plenty
of it.
I give a sample sauce, a white sauce.
Take two tablespoonfuls of sifted flour and
two tablespoon fuls of butter, put them into a
saucepan (a smooth saucepan of any kind)
and, at the same time, take ono pint of any
white stock, veal brotn or chicken broth, or if
you are hard pressed, a pint of broth made out
of beef extract and boiling water will serve—
though not advised; heat this stock to boiling
and at the same time cook tho butter and the
flour together until the mixture bubbles and
boils. Cook one minute. But nothing vital
will happen if you cook it two; or half a min-
ute instead of a minute! You need a hot
fire for this part. As soon as both mixtures
are boiling, pour the liquid into the flour and
butter. Pour it all at once, stirring vigor-
ously with the left hand while you pour with
the right. We are happily provided w ith two
hands for just such emergencies.
In a few minutes the mixture will begin to
thicken: then set the saucepan on the back of
the stove where it will gently simmer aud let
it simmer at least an hour, and an hour and a
half will not hurt it.
If you wish the flavor of onion grate a small
one into this when it is set back. J-alt and
pepper with rod pepper or white, the black
will discolor it. Just before serving add tho
juice of a half of a lemon aud a gill of cream,
thick and sweet.
This sauce can be infltelv varied. If you
want a yellow sauce (hollandaisc) you need
only udd tho yelk of an egg or two yelks if
you prefer.
The vital point with eggs added this way is
not to cook them more than barely enough
to set them, a minute is time enough. And
here it is important that you should be exact
in your time, one minute, uot ono and a half
or two minutes.
uow to make brown saucb.
Brown sauces of all kinds aro mado in the
same way, the change in color being mado
(with a good deal of bother) by browning tho
fiour and butter, or (without any risk or bother
at all) by making tho plain white sauce aud
adding—at almost any period, but when it is
put back ou the stove is my own preference—a
French caramel coloring tablet, to be obtained
at any grocer's, a toaspoouful of Chiua soy or
a teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet on a little
burnt sugar. Kitchen bouquet Ilike best, but
the caramels arc very good. Tho addition of
mushrooms, olives, cnestnuts. etc., makes
other sauce very easy and delicious. I like,
myself, also, a real cream sauce, made entirely
of cream, which is heated instead of the
stock.
tomato saucs. *
There are two varieties of sauce that should
have mention, perhaps, tomato sauce aud
bread sauce for game. The latter is not so
popular in this country as it should bo, al-
though one encounters it at every turn in Eng-
land, with every kind of fowl and in e ery
stage of resemblance to a poultice. Tomato
sauce is made very easily by first stewing
(slowly) the tomatoes until all the juice of the
vegetable is extracted,then straining and using
this limior initotd ol the stock* Half stoei
and half tomato makes a very goodly com-
r>any. A little chile sauce or tomato ketchup
lelps the flavor to an extraordinary extent.
Onions should bo added and chopped parsely.
Shalots aro better than onions for most sauce
flavors, being more delicate. They are the
little green sprouts of onious and by a merci-
ful dispensation come just when onions have
grown rank aud old. It is often worth while
to let some onious sprout all their being into
shalots.
bread sauce.
Bread sauco is made by a different method;
the simplest way is to dry stalo bread hard in
the cool oven and then roll it with the roller
into minute crumbs. The bread must be
white and not browned in tho least in the
oven. A small cup of crumbs is allowance
for a good pint of milk. Heat the milk to
boiling, melt a tablespoonful of butter in the
milk season, and add the crumbs. Let it cook
on the back of tho stove for a half or three-
quarters of an hour, and just before serving
add a gill or two of cream to make it the right
consistency, which should not be very thick.
The thickness of a thick gravy is right. Onion
is a help. One small onion is about enough,
unless the family taste has been acquired in
Italy on garlic.
\\ iue is usually a help to the flavoring of
sauces. A wineglass of sherry or madeira or
marsala is the allowance for the quantity of
sauoe mentioned* Lemon will curdle milk,
but not cream.
In conclusion, I may say that the slow cook-
ini. and frequent—not constant, stirring, is tho
secret of that mellow and silken smoothness
to be found in a perfect sauce—and everyone
of my readers, with little care, may attain it.

THE FALL OF DOM PEDRO
Has Made a New Nation of the Great
Country of South America.
The republic of Brazil is progressing more
rapidly thau tho country did as nu empire,
says N. P. Witter of Rio Janeiro in the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The peoplo are pro-
jecting many improvements, some of which
are possible and some are uot. It would amuso
you to hear the old-timers, who opposed any-
thing liko the introduction of modern ideas
under tho old regime, talk of now railroads,
mills, street improvements and electric light
plants for all the world like the residents of a
real live, booming town in the west.
Another amusing but grateful chango to an
American Is noted in (ha oonduot of the peo-
ple. the independent swing of their attitude,
their freedom in criticising the actions of
provincial and government officials. In the
old days, under the empire, it meant treason
to criticise the administration officials, and
now the latter are abused and compelled to
explain in a manner that is particularly homo-
like to a man from the United States. The
nan who hare money are asing it to make
more, and not hoarding it aw ay as they did a
few years ago. Everybody has confidence in
the new form of government, and many
features of the system in this country aroused.
PHONOGRAPHS TOR THE BLIND.
Cincinnati Enquirer: Mr. Edison's, idea of
making the phonograph of service to the blind
has a far sounder ring thau many of his often
wild fancies. There is no obstacle whatever
save tho cost of libraries and reading rooms
for the blind, where the cylinder representing
the book or tho article desired might bo placed
in the phonograph at call.
Memphis Appeal-Avalanche: It will readi-
ly be seen that Edison's wonderful instru-
ment may be made of practical service in
teaching now to pronounce a foreign language.
Almost any one can learn to road or write
French, German or Italian without the aid of
a teacher, but it is difficult to acquire a proper
pronunciation. This, it will bo apparent to
any one, can bo easily had by means of the
phonograph.
The Gypsies of to-day are divided up into
the full-blooded, or tent Gypsios, and tho
Katrengroes. or house-dwellers, who keep
their Gypsy blood a secret. This division of
tho race shows that they urs gradually yield-
ing to the pressure of outside influences and
tho complete extinction of their national iden-
tity will simnly bo a matter of time.
THE FARMER IN POLITICS,
PRESIDENT JONES DEFINES THE POSI-
TION OF THE ALLIANCE.
Politioal Only in the Sense That Politics Is
the Science of Government but Never
a Party, nor Will It Ever Be.
Tho position of the Farmers' allianoe in
Texas on political issues and policies gener-
ally has been so misunderstood that President
Jones writes tho following proclamation for
publication in the Southern Mercury:
To tho members of the Farmer?' alliance of
Texas: Brethren—In view of tho gonoral inisun-
ftanding of many people in Texas in roferenco to
the relation of tho Fanners' alliauco to political
parties 1 deem it neeesssry Usee this address.
The Farmers' alliance in and always lias been a
political organization. Our llrst declaration of
purposes reads:
"We shall labor to educate our members in tho
science of government, in a strictly non-partisan
spirit."
Tho word "politics" means tho science of gov-
ernment, hence our organization is political; Dut
it will never become a polities! party* or in
any way otlicially indorse any political party, for
the simple reason that all of tho unjust condi-
tions that now bear so heavily upon the peoplo
are tho outgrowth of partisan erojudice, devel-
opod by tho various partisan political organiza-
tions. I am of the opinion that the tiiuo has ar-
rivod when all prejudice should be luid aside,
aud clear reason should be applied in tho investi-
gation OX ths economic Issues DOW confronting us.
which must be intelligently solvod, if liberty and
justice aro to bo pernetuated.
For this purpose tne Farmers' alliance was or-
ganized.
For this it has always labored and is now bat-
tling.
Our members in the beginning know but vory
little about this vital question. We realized that
our relief must come through tho education of
our people upon economic questions. This line of
Solicy has ever been strictly adhered to, and with
uttering results, as is clearly dimioiuttrated by
the noiso made by that class of i>coph> who aro in
harmony with present depressed conditions. The
only hope of defeating us is to wrench our organ-
ization from its present high and uggrossivo non-
partisan ground, and force it into tho cess-pool
ofpartisan politic*.
Those who have combined, and by organized
effort, secured special privileges through legisla-
tion, state and national, dread us because thoy
know thut our organization is a school, aud
through its teachings tho road to liberty will
soon be available to tho oppressed. Knowledge
is power, and when the masses become educated
their power will be irresistible.
The sign* on tho political horizon havo but one
meaning, and that is that the lease of tyrants in
these United States must end.
The teachings of our prosa and speakers are
bringing to our cause more converts than ever be-
fore. und thoso accessions aro tho most intelligent

Tho teachings of our organization aro making

Under its teachings sectionalism, thnt Mecca of
the partisan boss, has been destroyed. Tho peo-
ple of the north ami south have aguin united and
a froo government is assured.
All we have to do is to persevere in the work and
ere long our demands will become the law of tho
land and justico will reign.
brethren, stand by the demands of our organi-
zation. stato and national, make the alliance a
great resorvo force for good, and as citizens vindi-
cate your rights at tho ballot box, in tho way and

ZULUS IN SHAM BATTLE.
A Realistic Spectacle Even to the Killing
of the Wounded.
A sham fight among the Zulus is an impres-
sive spectacle, says the Detroit Free Press.
The dusky warriors are fine, muscular fellows,
athletic and highly trained. Tho rank and
file, untrammeled by ornaments and dress,
move about with grace and freedom. The
officers, chiefs and head men wear coronets
of ostrich feathers, which rustle freely with
every movement of the body; circling their
brows uro rows of tiger skin, from which
descend fringes of coarse hair; from the neck
and shoulders to the knees their bodies aro
covered with the tails of monkeys and tigers
and stripes of various hides strung together in
girdles: their waists are girt about with tufts
of lions' mane and cow hair. Forming into
line their variegated shields aro so close and
regular that they appear interlocked, whilo
above them glisten rows of gleaming assegai
heads. The foe is imaginary, as even among
their own tribes they are aroused to
such a pitch of excitement that, had
they any opponents, though only in
mimic warfare, they would bo so far
carried away by their feelings that
at close quarters bloodshed would inevitably
result. At tho word of command they ad-
vance in precise order, first slowly, then at a
quick march, then double, and with a shout of
Chiela!" (imaginary enemios) the battle be-
comes fast and furious, lirandishing their
assegais, stabbing and lunging with strength
and dexterity, each stroke accompanied by a
fierce grunt of satisfaction, stamping, gesticu-
lating and gnashing their teeth, they work
themselves into a mad frenzy, in which their
features are distorted and their eyes glare
with a fierce lust of blood.
Suddenly the command is given to retire
and as victors shouting triumpn, they march
from the field. Then appears upon tho scene
a horde of wild-looking creatures, running and
leaping from place to place, screaming de-
moniacally, und frantically beating the earth
with thick, heavy clubs. Iheso are the women
and they are engaged in tho horrible atrocity
of killing the wounded. After a sham tight tho
night is spent in feasting and revelry.
HOME-MADE COATS FOR CHILDREN.
How to Cut and Make Them Bo as to Givo
a Tailor Effect.
Ready-made cloaks for children and girls
usually cost about double the price of tho ma-
terials, and if a mother can command her
own time and strength there is a large saving
in making a cloak or jacket at homo. Dut to
have a coat of domestic manufacture satisfac-
tory three points must be carefully attended
to—the fit, the finish and tho pressing. After
a pattern is chosen the cutter should measure
the child by it, first noticing whether the oat-
tern must be altered to uny extent. If tho
pattern iB uncertain it is well to cut the waist
aud sleeve portions of old cotton and to baste
them together and try on before cutting tho
cloth iteelf.
Having secured a good fit the seams should
be evenly stitchod and triinmod off, and then
carefully and heavily pressed open.
Each edge of the scams should bo bound.
Regular binding tape is sold by the piece aud
comes in dark colors, but black is commonly
used. Pieces of silk which match the cloth in
olor can be utilized for both bindings and
facings if the silk is nor worn. Bindings and
facings need to be strong, as they rub con-
stantly upon the dross. Silk and farmer's
satin when so used must be cut on the bias,
but for heavy cloth like beaver, dress braid is
advisable for binding the seams. Face back
the fronts deeply, using silk or farmer's satin
and press every fold ami buttonhole carefully.
A cloak so finished will not havo a raw edge
or seam inside, and if evenly stitched will look
as if from a tailor's hands.
Plain cloths make tho handsomest cloaks
and when faded can be re-dyed. This process
shrinks the cloth from ono to two inches edge-
wise, but with plush, velvet, astrachau cloth
and fur bands this deficiency can be remedied.
Plaid and mixed cloths do not show woar or
soil so easily, and can somotimes be re-dyed if
the plaid or mixture is not too pronounced or
many colored. Shaggy cloths wear off un-
evenly and will not re-dye to advantage on that
account, but moth-eaten spots show far less on
rough goods than on smooth finished surfaces*
All new cloths should be sponged belo to
they axe made ui>«
