PSOBABLT A SCHEME.
Cheering news from the spring
elections over the country still con-
tinues to come in. First there was

landslide in Chicago and over the
victory won in St. Louis, by which

in Rhode Island, the result of which
warrants the firm belief that in the
next presidential election the three
votes of that state will be placed in
I the democratic column. And now
i comes the news that Montana cities
| and towns which gave tremendous
&0' and startling republican majorities
last fall for the first time, are now
giving the old-time democratic ma
jorities in the municipal elections
It is said that some of the appli- which have been oec'urring in Butte

mash on the president by sending j the past few days. This, says the
along their photographs with their; St. Louis Post-Dispatch, with con-
applications.
The Bandera Bugle office was de-
stroyed by an incendiary fire a few
days ago, supposed to have been
done by some one who bore a grudge
against the editor.

arouse a suspicion that the election
of a republican delegate in Novem-
ber was part of a shrewd little game
played on the republicans in con-
gress to get Montana admitted as a
state. Montana has been steadily
democratic by a large majority until
last fall, when the unexpected ap-
pearance of a majority on the repub-
lican side secured her admission

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says
that the returns from that city, Chi-
cago, Cincinnati and other places
create the suspicion that the republi-
can boodle was all used up in the
November election.
Marshall Messenger: It seems
as if Andrew Jackson Evans will
again disgrace the TJ. S. district at-
torney's office. Wonder if Jack will
ever forget his visit to Marshall to

The Hillsboro lleflector gives it as
its candid and unsolicited opinion
that the Fort Worth Gazette "edi-
torially is about the weakest daily
paper in Texas.' Henceforth the
Reflector need not expect to see it
self quoted in the columns of that
paper. ______
The law permitting defendants to
testify in criminal cases goes into ef-
fect ninety days after adjournment
of the legislature. The court at
Sherman, as reported in Saturday's
Galveston News, in allowing the de-
fendant in a rape case to testify was
somewhat premature.
The democrats didn t haveenough
votes to elect a democratic succes-
sor to Senator Chace, of Rhode
Island, so they did the next best
thine;. They combined with a re-
o *>
spectable minority of republicans
and elected Nathan F. Dixon over
Wetmore. the boodle candidate.
In Florid^ Whero ice is $p desirable
for cooling food and drini, it is not
naturally- formed, and so must bo
mada I visited an ice factory.
They have twenty tons of ice form-
ing here all the time. They lift a tank
every thirty minutes, take out the ice,
refill the tank with water and replace
it The freezing takes forty-eight
hon*S. The tank they have just emp-
tied will be filled soon, ana a new
block of ioo will be taken from it on
"the dfcy aifter to-morrow."
Now, it seems that this freezing
takes place so gently that a spray of
roses may bo put into a tank or water
and frozen into the mass of ice with-
out stirring a petal from its place.
There it lies imbedded, in all its
beauty of form and color—a marvel-
ous tiling, I think. The icemakers
like to perform this experiment, as it
shows the clearness of their ice; and
pride is taken in freezing pieces of un-
usual beauty and transparency.
A deli^te spray of flowers, a cluster
of ripe fruit* or a brilliant colored fish
are favorite subjects. Exhibitions of
such freezings are occasionally made*
at fairs, and a particularly beautiful
or interesting piece makes a very at-
tractive gift for a birthday or for
Christmas.
What a pretty way to preserve ob-
jects! I would like a collection of
Florida specimens so preserved. No
dried out herbarium specimens; no
faded and distorted alcoholic prepara-
tions; no unnatural taxidermist
mounts, but everything in its natural
color, its perfect outline, its living
beauty. Here, a clear little block
with a chameleon; here, a larger one
with a coilcd rattlo snake; thero a
young alligator, a cluster of grape
fruit or oranges, a spray of flowers or
or a series of forest leaves. But alasl
such a colh?oti6h not last a sin-
gle week.—St. Nicholas.
There is some
States District Judge Sabin resign
ing on account of his advanced age, | the republicans will have to fight for
ith a good chance of
"e they are maneuver-
to build up a victorious high-
tariff party in the South."' Just after
the plans of the republicans to ad-
mit these four new states were made
known and while Gov. Ireland, in this
state, and other domocrats outside
were taking a gloomy view of the
future and predicting that none of
the present generations would live
to see the democracy restored to na-
tional power, the Banner took the
most hopeful view of the situation
and maintained that the admission
of the new states would not help the
republican party any more than it
would the democratic party; as Mon-
tana and Washington had oftener
elected democratic delegates to con-
gress than republicans, and were
more apt to go democratic, while
there was also some show for the
democracy in South Dakota. Since
assuming this'position, and a while
prior to adjournment of the last
congress, Delegate Voorhees, the
son of Senator Voorhees, Indiana,
and who represented Washington
Territory in that congress, in an in-
terview with some one of the repor-
ters at the national capital, said that
there need be no fear that Washing-
ton and Montana would be lost to
the democracy; and that they went
republican as the best means of ac-
quiring statehood. There is the best
of reason for believing that the dem-
ocrats did have such a scheme to
gain admission into the sisterhood
of states, for if those two temtories
had gone democratic it is not at all
probable that they would have been
admitted. The Banner now and
here makes the confident prediction
that in the election next fall those
two new states will choose deino-
crats. _
Col. F. D. Jodon favorably men-
tioned in this journal on more than
one occasion, and for a time its
special correspondent at Washing-
ton, is mentioned as very likely to
secure the customs appointment at
Corpus Christi. The Colonel is an
uncompromising Republican, a man
in whom the government appears to
repose considerable trust, and his
appointment would be a very accept-
able one to many republicans in
Texas.—San Antonio
The lawyers in Texas who get up
libel suits on sj:ec and the black-
mailers who are willing to have ju-
ries set a price on their characters
for a small consideration ought to
go out to Arizona. A Tombstone
widow has sued a local paper be-
cause it said her husband had gone
to a happier home.
The venerable Simon Cameron,
ex-United States Senator from Penn-
sylvania, who is ninety years of age,
and who is still as frisky as a kid, if
reports be true, says that the way
to preserve youth is to associate
with young people and keep a going. | gouthem
This suggests to an exchange that
Eit Is really not so many years since

If all whose houses are visited by
whitecaps could be as successful as
a fanner was in Indiana a few nights
ago the organization would volunta-
rily disband, provided there were
enough of them left to hold a meet-
ing. The ruffians, after serving aj
notice that they would pay him a j
visit, called at his house at the dead j
hour of the night. He was prepared j
for them and answered a knock at j
his front door with a discharge
from his shot-gun. There were
about twenty of them, and they
tried to face the music for a little
while, but were finally compelled to
beat a retreat carrying off five of
their gang severely wounded.

Nothing can induce Senator Voor-
hees to ride in a street car drawn by a
white horse. t
Senator Joe Blackburn not only
takes the white horse, but also one
having a white spot on it, or one white
foot.
Senator Edmunds regards it as un-
lucky if the first person ho meets on
emerging from his house is a woman,
and will return for a fresh start
Senator Shermaa will not extend his
left hand in greeting or receive one ex-
tended to him—a familiar habit with
politicians.
Senator Call will bury or burn a pair
of socks one or both of which he nas
put on wrong side out
Representative Kennedy, of Ohio,
wears a voudoo charm which he ob-
tained from an old negress in the
swamps of Louisiana.
When Senator Harris, of Tennessee,
is in doubt as to a course of action, he
decides it by spitting at a mark.
If Senator Vest, of Missouri, meets
a beggar in the streets before he has
spent any money he invariably gives
to the mendicant
If the first person Representative
Breckinridge meets in the morning is
a colored man or woman he crosses to
the other side of the street Ho claims
if he continues on the same side he
will be hoodooed for the entire day.
Senator Evarts is a great admirer of
the flaming beauties of the circus
posters and theatre announcements on
the billboards, which tasto he has in
common with Hale, of Maine; Butler,
of South Carolina, and Pascoe, of Flor-
ida.—Washington Letter in Cleveland

What Is Electricity?
As tho use of electricity becomes
more general thero is increased curi-
osity to learn what it is, says The Elec-
tric Power. It is considered a mys-
terious force, because in its normal
condition it cannot be seen. The wire
which conveys tho current gives no
manifestation of the energy which is
passing through it. Just as tho po%t
said, "We take no note of time save
from its loss." So "with electricity, it
must be measured as it flics. It is true,
however, that its laws arc perfectly
understood. Is it necessary that we
should know what it is? Nothing is
more familiar to us than the action of
gravitation. We know that it is the
attraction of the earth. It holds the
atoms of the earth together and en-
ables us to perform ail of the opera-
tions which make up our daily lifa
It is, however, a mystery, but its laws;
are as well known, and if we violate
them by jumping off a precipice;
should wo consider the force of gravity
necessarily dangerous? Steam is alsc
something of a mystery. It has beer
familiar to mankind since the dawn o:
civilization, yet how many peopli
know that it is transparent and there
foro invisible until it comes in contac
with tho air ?

Chopin's Musical Likes and Dislikes.
He worshipped Mozart, and was i
zealous student of Bach. One day!,
Halle played to him a Beethoven sonatij i
(one from op. 31). Chopin found the;
last movement vulgar. From thii
Halle concluded that ho could no« t
have made a deep study of tin
master's works. Lenz, indeed, ho*
said: "Chopin did not take a very!
serious interest in Beethoven. He
knew ouly his principal compositions,
the last work3 not at all." Chopin
cared little for Mendelssohn, and—il
the statement of Schlessinger be true
that he did not consider Schumann's
"Carnaval" to be music at all—still
less for a composer who thoroughly
appreciated and admired his own gen-
ius. He preferred Bellini to Berlioz.—

It is interesting to note the fact that,
of the 50,000 copies of the "Encyclo-
pedia Britanijica" sold, 40,000 havej
gone to the United States. . The Amer-j
leans, therefore, have bought four:
times as many copies of the encyclo-
pedia as the English, although the:
work is of English conception and pub- j
lication. This, at %st sight, would
seem to show that the Americans have
a greater taste for solid literature than
the English. It may merely mean,
however, that there are more public
libraries in America than England, aa
is no doubt the case.—London life.
