10 THEY WOIT.
The yesr 1895 will tie a remarkable
one, both from the astionomical end re-
ligious point ot view. On Good Friday
nest (April 12,) the heavenly bodies
which gravitate round the sun will be in
exactly the same position they occupied
in the firmament the day Christ died on
the cross will be the first time such a
thiag has occurred since thst great day,
just 1862 years ago. That was the thirt'y-
third year of the Christian era, which
dates from the birth of Jesus Christ.
The above is simply nonsense,
and probably originated in the fer-
tile imagination ot some penny-a-
liner who wanted to tickle the fancy
of pious ireaders. There is no
no great difficulty in computing the
places ot tfie sun, moon and planets
for any date within the Christian
era, so as to compare their positions
with any ipodern period. In 1671,
John Butlyr, a divine and author of
reputation; chaplain to the Duke of
Artnond and rector ot Lichbour-
ough, England, published a queer
book entitled “A Brief But True
Account of the Certain Year,
Month, Day and Minute of the
Birth of Jesus Christ.” Dr. But-
ler was something of an astronomer,
and like many educated men ot his
day, believed in astrology. In this
book he gives the horoscope of
Jesus, and .also the planets places to
minutes at the time ot the crucific-
tion. This latter event according
to his calculations, occurred on the
3rd day of April, A. D. 33, the
tame date given in the above para-
graph ; this consequently furnishes
an opportunity for comparison of
the planet’a places with their posi-
tions on good Friday, of the present
year. We have done this with the
aid of an ephemeria for 1895, and
find that there are nearly 4 degrees
difference in the places in the heav-
ens of the passover full moon to
start with. There are 14 degrees
difference between the places ot
Mercury, which is not much of a coin-
cidence, we' should think, as Mer-
cury, it will be recollected never sep-
arates from the Sun beyond 2S de-
grees. Thfe difference in the places
of Venus was 33 degrees, of Mars
3 degrees, Jupiter 15 degrees and
Saturn 173 degrees; that is Saturn
on April 12, 1895, was nearly op-
posite the place in the heavens it
occupied the day of the crucifiction
in A. D. 33!
But even the year ot the crucific-
can be said with any certainty is
that it could not have occurred
earlier than A. D. 2S and not later
than A. D. 35, and it is easy to
show that the planets were not in
the tame positions they occupied
last Friday, in any ot those years.
Saturn, tor example requires nearly
30 years to’make the circuit ot the
heavens, that is 365 degrees. Six
authors give the year that Jesus was
executed aa A. D. 29, seven A. D.
30, four A. D. 31, three A. D. 32,
eleven A. D. 33 and one A. D. 35.

Left Handed Apology-
Rev. Lansing recently charged in
the Methodist conference at Salem,
Mass., that President Cleveland
was intemperate. In an interview
with a reporter the president de-
nounced the charge as an outrage,
and expressed his astonishment that
Christian minister should dissemi-
nate such wholesale lies, so cruel
and unjust. He added, however,
that he recalled other cases where
ministers had put in circulation the
most scandalous falsehoods concern-
ing his conduct and character. The
Reverend Lansing subsequently
said aa the persons who were author-
ity tor his statement did not want
their names mentioned in connection
with the affair and he did not know
the facts of his own knowledge, he
was willing, if he had done the
president a wrong, to apologize for
his hasty utterance.

LATEST FROM HI0K8.
Pine Blukk, Ark., April ti.—J.
W. Hicks, the ex-priest who has
been lecturing here against Catho-
licism, pleaded guilty in the circuit
court to-day to the charge of dis-
turbing the peace, and was fined
$50. The other charges against
him tor slander and using profane
language were nolle pressed. In
default ot payment Hicks was re-
turned to jail.
Hicks’ admirers in Denison
should pass the hat and raise money
sufficient to get their champion out
ot limbo. They say according to
the Arkansas law a prisoner in the
county jail is only allowed 50 cents
a day when he works, and if it rains
or for any other reason he cannot
labor on thelhighwsys, he is charged
50 cents for his board. It they
should have * wet season in Arkan-
sas this summer “ex-priest” would
have a sorry time of it. Consider-
ing bis valuable services as a lecturer
to the A. ,P. A. cause, the order
should by all means bestir them-
selves to raise that $50.

Washington, D. C.,
April 8, 1S95.
It looks now as though the ad-
ministration had won a very cred-
itable diplomatic victory from Great
Britain in that little affair of Nicar-
agua, and that Great Britain had
greatly modified that bluff about
bombardine Nicaragua’s seaports.
Nothing official has been given out
about the diplomatic correspond-
ence on this matter within the last
few days, but there are good reas-
ons for stating that Ambassador
Bayard has been most positively
assured by the British government
that nothing will be done in its
dealings with Nicaragua that can
be properly construed into a viola-
tion of the Monroe doctrine. This
assurance was naturally very grati-
fying to President Cleveland and
the other members of the adminis-
tration. It was saying in a round-
about way that Great Britain never
really meant to carry out that bom-
barding threat, and it was also in a
way a recognition ot the Monroe^
doctrine. That this assurance from
Great Britain was the result of the
courageous position taken by the
administration as to the mainte-
nance of the Monroe doctrine is cer-
tain. And nothing was lost bv the
knowledge on the part of Great
Britain, that the United States had
a sufficient naval force in the South
Atlantic to back up the position
assumed.
The arrival of the new Spanish
minister is anxiously awaited in
Washington, as it is believed that
he will have several important com-
munications to make to this govern-
ment. The Allianca incident is
still open, and the belief is growing
that Spain is trying to play a double
game in connection therewith, not-
withstanding its promise to make it
satisfactory as soon as it was in pos-
session of the necessary information.
As the new Spanish minister is to
spend a week or ten days in Cuba
betore coming to Washington he
will be expected to acquire all the
needed information and if his gov-
ernment then still delays making a
satisfactory settlement he may find
himself very disagreeably surprised
soon after his arrival. And his sur-
prise is not likely to be displeasing
to the Cuban revolutionists.
Postmaster General Wilson
dropped into his new duties as nat-
urally as though he had been deal-
and he is tne same ■ uroatic" genwv-
man in dealing with his numerous
callers that he always was during
his extended congressional career.
He has long ago proved himself
well protected against that insidious
disease known to ordinary folk as
the ‘‘big head ;” therefore no one is
surprised to find him just as accessi-
ble now as when he was a member
of Congress.
The projectors of the new silver
party profess to have encouraging
reports from a number of states, but
their professions are largely dis-
counted by their claims as to the
states ot Pennsylvania and Conneti-
cut. The only claim these people
make that is backed by common
sense and hard facts is that a large
majority ot the voters of the coun-
try are bimetallists. That claim is
unnecessary because it is known by
everybody, but that doesn’t mean
that all the bimetallists arc ready to
drop their party affiliations and
unite in an assistant republican
party, which is about all the new
silver party is.
The decision ot the supreme court
in the income tax cases is disap-
pointing to everybody, and proba-
bly to nobody more than to mem-
bers ot the court. The constitution-
ality ot the law stands, not by an
affirmative decision, but because the
eight justices sitting were evenly
divided. Incomes from rents, mu-
nicipal and state bonds are ex-
empted from the tax. But what
most disappointed the members of
the court was the stealing ot a copy
ot the decision in advance of its be-
ing officially made. It was sold to
the correspondent of a Chicago
paper and telegraphed to that city.
The decision will make lots of
worrv and litigation for the govern-
ment, but Secretary Carlisle is very
positive that it will not make neces-
sary the calling of an extra session
of Congress, although the excep-
tions will probably reduce the re-
ceipts from the income tax at least
one-half. But even if not a nickel
was received from that source by the
treasury. Secretary Carlisle says
there will be money enough and to
spare to carry the government until
the regular session ot Congress with-
out any embarrassment.

April 8, 1S95.
We can safely say, speaking gen-
erally, but very generally that busi-
ness is improving and hard times are
in full retreat. It is not easy how-
ever, to come across individuals
who have that experience. Every
one is hard pushed. Big concerns
are strained. Profits were never so
low. Business is hard to get.
Withal this we are on the up
grade as a people. The bank clear-
ings and railroad earnings are larger
and are grewing. And what is sur-
prising to some people, silver is ad-
vancing, in view of the expected
heavy Asiatic demand. The Chin-
ese indemnity will probably be paid
in silver and Chinese ports will be
opened to trade. Those countries
could double their demands on us
for silver and keep all our great
silver mines at work night and day.
The stiver question will largely set-
tle itself.

So great is the deniand^ for bi-
cycles that some concerns manufac-
turing aupplies are working 24
hours a day. One plant has just
been completed that will turn out
100 bicycles per day and two or
three more are being built. The
bicycle demand this year is beyond
existing facilities.
Just as soon as business warrants
it several of the trans-continental
railroad lines are to be double
tracked. This means a demand tor
20.000 miles of railroad, an enor-
mous amount of steel, enough to
keep our mills busy on this alone
for nearly three years.
Those who think railroad build-
ing overdone will wake up some
day to find it just starting. Over
20.000 miles of track have been sur-
veyed and if times are good work
wii'. be begun on more or less of it
this year.

Four years ago wheat was $1.05

181.000. 000 bushels wheat, last year
460.000. 000, yet the Russian and
American bakers have not yet heard
of it nor the fall in price. They
are dreadfully hard ot hearing.

Prof. Forbes, of Hoboken Insti-
tute, says that within htty years two-
thirds of the work now done by
men and women will be done by
electricity. How will these men and
women then earn their living? An
electrical engineer says that in far
less than that time the bulk of the
coal mining will be done by electri-
cal mining machines. What will
the poor miners do? This brings
us facing a question of great magni-
tude to the whole human family.
Improved machinery and the use of
finer forces are gradually robbing
labor ot its opportunity to labor.
When the point is reached and
passed that labor can neither get
enough work to do to live, or not
earn enough to live if employment
is to be had, what then? Simply a
new deal. Man cannot freeze while
electrical mining machines are pil-
ing coal heaps hill-high, nor can
they starve while nature and skill
are producing enormous supplies of
things to live on.
Next to follow the bicycle craze
is the electric carriage now made in
France. Seven small boxes con-
taining three accumulators make it
go. On a level road it runs easily
12 miles an hour, and on a hilly road
I S miles. It looks like and runs like
1 an ordinary carriage, except the
| horses are not tnere.
Great developments are being
made in coal mining. Ventilating
fans of enormous capacity are being
put up. One at Fairmount, West
| Virginia, send* 150,000 cubic feet of
air per minute. At Winfried they
are putting in a big electric light
plant.
In a short time telephone lines
will be connected with several south-
ern cities. There is a great demand
for them. Last year 32,000 electri-
cal patents were issued. An im-

correct.
At a somewhat stormy democratic
caucus held Monday night, at which
nearly every pet administration
measure was everlastingly side-
tracked, the following bills were
booked tor future consideration and
given supreme right of way:
First—Coddifying bill.
Second—Redistricting bill.
Third—Wayland's Insurance bill.
Fourth—Wester’s School bill.
Fifth—House Bill No. 648, to
provide for a more spaedy collec-
tion of purchase and lease money
due the State upon the sale and
lease of public school lands belong-
ing to the state, and providing tor
the bringing suits thereon and to
fix the venue ot such suits.
Sixth—Kennedy’s Mechanic’s and
Labor Lien bill.
Seventh—O’Connor’s Labor Lien
bill.
Eighth—Simmon’s General Live
Stock bill.
Ninth—Kennedy’s bill relating to
insurance companies.
Tenth—Orr’s bill making county
commissioners examine books and
county funds quarterly.
Eleventh—Armistead’s Court of
Criminal Appeals bill.
Twelfth—Ward’s bill providing
for sale ot unappropriated public
'and*.
Thirteenth—Evans’ (of Hunt,)
bill to prevent blacklisting.
Fourteenth—McBride’s bill pro-
viding tor the survival ot cases ot
action for personal injuries.
Fifteenth—House Bill No. 440,
to fix the compensation of the health
officers of the state and of quaran-
tine officers.
Sixteenth—Roger’s Local Option
bill, and also his bill prohibiting em-
ployers from interfering with the
private, civil or political rights of
employees.
Seventeenth —O’Connor’s bill,
creating metropolitan police system

tired that it held no session Monday
or Tuesday.
The lee bill bobbed up Tuesday,
and, after an hour’s debate, it
bobbed down again until Thursday.
It will hardly pass this session.
Travers resolution amending the
constitution so as to require aliens
to declare their intintion of becom-
ing citizens at least twelve months
before the election at which they
propose to vote, passed to engross-
ment. It is a wise measure, and
should and will probably pass. Its
object is to put a check on the free
and easy Mexicans along the Texas
border, who cross over into Texas
on Election days, declare their in-
tention to become citizens, and
straightway vote and then hie them-
selves back to the land ot the cac-
tus.
The house had a hard fight over
the general appropriation bill, and,
amazing as the statement may ap-
pear, Mr. Patterson wanted to re-
duce the appropriation for groceries,
tuel, light and water for the North
Texas Asylum from $70,000 to
$40,000. The house promptly
knocked it out and let the figures
stand at $70,000. Other amend-
ments were ottered to the asylum
appropriations just as ridiculous, but
as a rule they were defeated. It is
astonishing to see men offering such
amendments, but they do it in every
legislature in every state. The men
who do it, of course, as a rule, are
not sincere. It is simply demagogue
claptrap to be stuffed down the
throats of the unwary voter in elec-
tion time.
During tfll! session of the house
722 bills have been introduced, of
which 228 have been reported favor-
ably, and 223 unfavorably. The
Speaker had signed and sent to the
governor up to Tuesday night, the
6th, only 36 bills. The house has
passed and sent to the senate 46
bills. There are now 109 bills in
the hands of house committees.
Thursday in the house there was
a hot fight over the bill proposing
to amend the local option law so as
to prevent druggists from selling
liquor in local option counties un-
less the doctors’ prescriptions are
sworn to. The bill was finally
! killed, and the doctor and the drug-
1 gist can continue in the saloon busi-
ness wwhout let or hinderance, and
without paying the saloon license.
The house passed the bill permit-
ting incorporated cities to join in

Mysterious Death.
A recent news item from John-
sonville, Choctaw nation, gives the
following particulars concerning a
rather mysterious death:
“A few miles north of this place,
at the foot of a cliff, the bodies of a
man and a horse were found a few
days since. There were cut* on
both, and the torn condition of the
man’s clothing causes the belief that
both met their death from a plunge
over the rocky side of the cliff. The
man wore a dark suit and a white
hat. The only thing furnishing the
least clew as to his identity is sn en-
velope sddre*sed to Frsnk Jackson,
Collinsville, Tex., and postmarked
Grapevine, Texas.” He had an
unused white stamped envelope in
his pocket, the return directions on
which show it came from Grape-
vine. The animal was a bay horse.
Tbe dead man was buried under a
large oak tree near where he was
found. The sheriff’s office has no
information of any one from Col-
linsville, which is in this county,
having gone into that part of the
Choctaw nation.”

DIOK EDWARDS DEAD.
Dick Edwards, who was sent to
Huntsville, a few week* ago to
serve a life sentence for the killing
ot Mrs. Haynes in this city, died
last Sunday of consumption. He
made no confession. The following
is taken from the Sherman Dem-
ocrat :
“It is a tact that very few people
know that a most flattering oppor-
tunity wa* offered Dick Edward* to
escape with a light term of impris-
onment at the very outside and to
perhaps secure a pardon, just a few
days before he wss taken to Rusk.
It hsd always been a pretty well
settled theory that there were other
parties connected with tbe tripple
murder, thst is taking it for granted
thst Dick Edwards actually did
murder Mrs. Dr. Havne*, on tbe
night of May 17, 1S92, and for
which he was given a life imprison-
ment sentence.
After the court ot appeals had
finally affirmed his case his attorney
paid him an important visit. Armed
with the assurance that should Ed-
wards see fit to make a full confes-
sion ot guilt and throw the search-
light upon the others he would re-
ceive a pardon, or at the very worst
be imprisoned for a short time, the
chance was offered him by his at-
torney.
The condemned man listened
quietly and then bursting into tears
said:
“It would not profit me to make
a false statement now, I can not live
long; that I am certain of. I tell
you honestiy and finally that I did
not reach Denison until June 6.
Msy perdition open up and swallow
me this minute it I know a single
fact that would throw light on these
murders. If any one had been my
accomplice in such an affair and had^
deserted me in such a situation
now occupy is it reasonable tbit I
would shield him ? I am tho "victim
ot a combination of circumstances
weaving about me a network of sus-
picion, but I am an innocent man.
Some day the world will know that
I am telling the truth. It will take
longer to solve the mystery than I
can possibly live and I know that I
must die ih prison, but some day it
will be known an innocent man has
suffered worse than death on the
scaffold.”
