HOW THEY STAND.
The currency tight in the south-
ern states will be hotter than
most people imagine.
The gold men are not idle while
the bimetallists will certainly
make a desperate effort to throw
the*outh their way.
Among the newspapers the
Atlanta Constitution and the
Memphis-Appeal Avalanche are
the leading bimetalliat exponents,
while the Dallas News and Cour-
ier-Journal lead the gold mono-
metallists.
When U comes to brains, if we
exoept Secretary Carlisle, the bi
metal lints have vastly the advant
age. This is shown from the fact
that Congressman Patterson of
Tennessee has taken position as a
leader of the gold men in the
sonth. He is a man that»nevei
could rank high in comparison
with most of onr southern leaders.
Much men »n Darrill, Jones,
Ueorge, Morgan, Vest, Bailey
Culbenon, Crisp and dozens ol
others far ontrank Patterson.
It if true that among those ^ho
are not politicians tbe financiers
and business men, the gold idea
has many strong advocates. But
these men do not often take
active part in political campaigns
and it will be left principally to
is very popular. Then he has the
whole power of the government to
back him and it is not at all im-
probab'e that be will l»e able, to
capture several of the southern
states for tbe gold standard.
This will have to be done if the
national convention is headed off
from a free coinage declaration.
The sonth will be the principal
3attle ground from now until the
convention meets.
This refers only to the demo
cratic party. The republican na-
tional convention will have a solid
gold vote from the south. Not
that they are solid that way, but
the uegro dominates the party and
he is dominated by the east.
The populists, of course, will
make a noise on that side, but as
there will be no fight in their
ranks on the money question and
no chance for them to carry the
election, very little atteution will
be paid to their movements.
Perhaps in course of time some
statesman may take hold of the
currency question without any
selfish interest or prejudice and
settle it on the lines of business
common sense. But there seems
to be a little of that article in high
places just now, and too much
prejudice and ignorance among
the masses.

worse and worse.
London, July 17.—The result of
today's polling leaves the different
parties in the following condition:
Conservatives 230, liberal-union-
ists 39; total unionists 20!*. Lib-
erals 05, McCarthyites 28, Par-
nellites 0, labor 2; total opposition
101.
The unionist wave swept today
with greater force than ever over
Great Britain. With fewer polls
the unionists gained fourteen
seats, while the liberals did not
gain a single seat and in the bulk
of the cases had a hard fight to re
tain their seats, their majoiities
l>eing again geserally reduced.
The liberals were almost wiped
ont in London. Out of 15 in the
metropolis they lost six seats. The
returns from Londun are now com
plete except Wandsworth, which
will be declared tomorrow. Oat
of 62 members from the metropo
lis, 53 ure unionists and H liberals.
Conservative majorities have been
heavy. The total conservative
gains were f>4 against 30 for the
liberals. The conservative have a
majority in the new house of com
mons.
The most exciting contest of the
day was at West Leeds, were Rt.
Hon. Herbert Gladstone retained
his seat by a greatly reduced ma-
jority against Col. North. The!
figures were so nearly equal that
Col. North asked for a recount,]
which confirmed Mr. Gladstone's |
election. Others elected today
were Rt. Kon George N. Curzon,1
Mr. Sidney C. Bnston, Rt. HonJ1
James Lowther, Kt. Hon. Sii|
Abercairn today, said that he ac-!
cepted the honor of contesting
West Monmouth in the cause of
temperance. He added that he
was a firm liberal and would stick
to the grand old man, even if
everyone else deserted him.
The greatest excitement prevail-
ed in the Southport division of
Lancashire today, where the Hon.
George Curzon, the sitting candi-
date and ^ conservative, is contest-
ing his seat against Sir Herbert
Nay lor-Ley land, the liberal can-
didate. Both candidates married
American ladies, who are taking
an active part in the campaign.
The two candidates, accompanied
by their wives, drove about rally-
ing their forces and great squads
of men and women cyclists as well
as horses and dogs are to be seen
on all sides wearing the favors of
the rival politicians.
All the bicyclists had their par
ty colors streaming from the han-
dle bars and the Curzon riders
formed an escort for Mr. and Mrs.
Curzon, while the Naylor-Leyland
wheelmen formed themselves into
a body guard for the purpose of
cheering on their candidate. The
radicals are making the most of Sir
Herbert Naylor Leyland's lielated
denial that he purchased his bar-
onetcy.
While a body of about 150 rid-
ers were escorting Sir Herbert and
Lady Naylor-Leyland a body of
drunken conservatives with the
Curzon colors dashed among them
and sent many riders sprawling
right and left. A lively scrimmage
followed.
There were also lively times to-
day at Leeds, and especially in the
westdivision, whereCol. North,the
conservative candidate, is said to
have good prospects of defeating
the liberal candidate, the Rt. Hon.
R. J. Gladstone, son of the Rt.
Hon. W. E. Gladstone.
Col. North, whose family and
half a dozen secretaries, a nuuil>er
of servants and horses galore are
occupying the principal hotel, is
condncting a clever campaign.

THE HEAilT N OLD AGE.
A Misconception Ttiat Causes Humanity
Needles* Anxiety.
A story told l»y Dr. (t. W. Biilfotir in
his book on "The Senile Heart" well
deserves the double purpose of marking
the practical jwx-ess which scientific
medicine has achieved within the past
.10 years and of administering a much
needed word of comfort and encourage-
ment to those numerous workers who,
as afje approaches, Ix'gin to feel uncom-
fortable at*>ut the regions of the heart.
"Many years ago," said Dr. Balfour,
"a gentleman of 77 consulted me as to
severe fainting fits to which he was
liable. A distinguished consultant, since
dead, had told him that these attacks
were due to fatty degeneration of the
heart and that treatment would be of
no avail. The heart's impulse was im-
perceptible, the sounds faint, but pure,
the arteries firm, but neither hard nor
tortuous. I told the patient that experi-
ence had taught me that hearts supposed
to be fatty were often weak. » * »
The result of treatment was a steady
improvement in health and in force of
heart beat, and the patient lived to be
90 and did not die of heart failure in
the end, but from senile asthenia." To
many people "fatty heart" is a perfect
bugbear. But this is what Dr. Balfour
has to say about the diagnosis of the
disease: "It is absolutely impossible to
diagnosticate fatty degeneration of the
heart.
"We may surmise its existence, but
we can only be certain of its presence
when wo see it post mortem. " If many
middle aged and old men could but
have this written deep upon the tablets
of their consciousness, what loads would
be lifted from their minds. Yet doctors
of small exj>erience roll out a diagnosis
of fatty heart with sonorous satisfac-
tion, unheeding that to many a trem-
bling father of a family it is like the
sound of a deathknell. On the question
of treatment Dr. Balfour is equally de-
cided. "We are often told," he says,
"that there is danger in treating a fatty
heart. * * * Yet the result of treat-
ment in the case recorded was a cure,
proving that a heart supposed to be
fatty was only weak and that a bfe
supposed to l>e over only wanted the
fillip of a few minims of digitalis to
carry it on to almost the extreme of hu-
man longevity. " So, true is it, •even in
scientific medicine, that a little experi-
ence and common sense outweigh many
shiploads of mere abstract theorizing.—

DIAMOND THIEVES.
Th® Trick Th«*y 1'se to Circumvent tht
Ever Watchful l>«*aler&.
A diamond dealer recently interview-
ed gave sumt> of his experiences as fol-
lows: "A few weeks ago a foreigner
came into my store suid desired to see
rings. After choosing for a long time lie
picked out one valued at $18. He made
me a ridiculously low offer, which I
naturally refused. He then desired to
see two other rings—one a sapphire and
the other a diamond ring—exhibited in
the show window. While I reached into
the window for them I observed in the
mirror on one side of the window how
the stranger slipped away two rings,
each worth $150. I did not turn around,
but went to the door, opened and then
locked it. If I had turned around, the
thief would have thrown pepiicr suid
sand in my eyes and ran away •with his
booty. A policeman was soon in the
place. The thief had the pepper and
sand ready for use in his hand.
"Another time a thief dropped two
rings into his umbrella, and at another
time another slipped one into a bole in
his glove. A very common trick of dia-
mond thieves is to ask to be shown loose
stones, which are thereupon handed to
him lying upon a waiter. He breathes
upon them, and thereby seeks to get one
or more into his mouth. Others study
the rings lying in tbe show window and
have one made exactly to pattern de-
scribed. The gold is good, but the jewel
is paste. They then come in twilight
into the store and seek to exchange their
imitation for the genuine."—Jewelers'

Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "lace
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with im mi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
laws.
The laws ot Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to 1*
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the slate
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve-
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall

ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended' sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. * * * *"
the wages
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art
stitution reads:
wages for personal
ever be subject to
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of bus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
anol all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their

Two horses and one wagon. One

Improved lands are worth from
$10 to $50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost, any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-

something not found in many

Good roads reach into every sec-

| Cooke is one of the northern tier
of counties and is separated from
| the beautiful Indian Territory on
| the north by Red river.
It is a splendid farming section
' and is also well adapted to stock -

The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Red river borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933

It now has a population of per-
