It to an axiom of British history that tlio house of lords must always yield to the demands of the commons wrmn HII oh (lumanda are supported by public opinion. While tills Is true the prosunl houuo ur lui-ds is uxput'ted to defeat the home rule bill by a large majority. Mr. Gladstone has thrust tho issue upun the lords and -will rest complacently i they nmnifota their contempt for home rulu and for public sentiment by rejecting the- bill. It will then be carried a second time through the house of commons nnd referred to the lords again.

In mse of Ha rejection Mr. Gladstone will dissolve parliament nnd go before tho people ugalti. If he IR again successful ut the polls the bill will bn passed a third time and sent to the lords for thel? concurrence. 3f the house of lords rejects It again the grand old man will force a reorganization of that auRUst gouty budy. It is very generally understood, however, that the lords will not risk radical reorganization, but will yield as soon as tho bill Is sent to them a second time.

Of course tv-IU take time, patience and hard work to make a law of the home rule bill. No hifllf-hearted person would ever have undertaken such a task. Hut during all this protracted and troublesome delay the leaven Is working and the Influence and power of the people growing stronger and stronger. The home rule movement will necessarily result In weakening the political power of classes nnd in encouraging and strengthening the masses of the people, whether the present bill Rrmll become a law or not. It will do this not only lu Great Britain, but In other monarchies of special privileges and unequal rights.

The prompt settlement of the sliver question will prove a great benefit to the country in more ways than one. Tha direct henent will be In strengthening the credit of tho government and restoring- confidence In Us ability to pay In gold. One of the greatest Indirect benefits will be found In the radical departure of con- gross from the old habit of talcing always to do nothing. Cn USA DJ2 A GA ItfST THE "MONEY POWER." Tn tho verbal contentions of. politics words are very often cunningly employed to convey an underlying meaning within an overlying meaning.

This Is seen In the manifesto of the recent secret conference of rural elements of discontent at Memphis, Tonn. In this manifesto the power" Ig denounced as a monster of ronsplrany, oppression and plunder which has Bome- how contrived to make the president a minion nnd congress an abject instrument to nerve its purposes. Following this denunciation is a threat In the name of the country's miscellaneous elements of discontent to resort to dynamite and other available agencies of revolutionary violence for the suppression of this "money and vhe overthrow of all its strongholds In existing forma nnd conditions of Inw c.nd oruer. purpose of despoiling the vanquished onemy 10 not outright. But It is not hard to discover tlut such a siiKirostion Is conveyed for nil who are to ba mentally Initiated In the eauterio councils of anarchical agitation.

Money la not and can not a power In itself. wealth any shape, It onn only ba a apJDurttJMat to iu poueu- i ora. By sarotlon of law It may, In proportion to sagacity or skill or good fortune of Ita possessor, become an in- definlto extension of personal power. And this is true of any kind of wealth. Tho crusade which Is proached ttpalnBt tiie 'money power" logically Itself Into a crusade against all -wealth within the puaco nf the law which mAV happen to be obnoxious to envy and Jemptiug to cupidity.

As long as the "laws and constitutional rigms exist in practical effect they must provide protection for the private property ad well aa the personal liberty of the citizen. Naturally, tha propaganda, of. this movement for a thinly-Disguised campaign of spoliation Is diligent to disseminate by Insinuation, If not open Inculcation, contempt for laws and con- BMtutfons. One can see In all this, and especially in the recent Tennessee eruption of dynamite sentiment, the kind of new political combination which might be expected In response to the calls of Senator Peffer of Kansas and Editor Patterson of Colorado for all who hanker for rivers cf free silver money and who harbor a grudge against the incorrigible conservatism of the mass of sentiment and of substantial and lawful Interest called the "money power." With such an army of miscellaneous elements of discontent and of roving appetite the order of assault would not be long in defining itself in a desperate rush of the have mots upon the commissary stores of the haves. The absurdity of the senate silver debate was illustrated when Mr.

Stewart had his colleagues recalled to the chamber whence they had fled to escape his four hours' plea for the protection of his silver mines. The only consolation that can be got out of this delay is the fact that the country can not bo cofralled Into the senate chamber and be made to hear the debate. The silver men have made a courageous flght, but they will gain, nothing by postponing the inevitable. A plea is made for tariff protection on silk so that the pauper cocoons of the east rriay be Imported and permitted to chew up our mulberry leaves and make fine raiment, Enough money has already been Wasted in this country on experimental silk culture to demonstrate its impracticability. We don't want any silkworm pets.

A cement protectionist, speaking to the ways and means committee, was uuablo to explain why the wages of cement laborers are higher In free triido England than in protected Germany, thoilgh ho contends that protection Is wanted In this country only to maintain high wages. The only strange thing about this argument IB that the ways and moans committee should waste tlino In exploding it. It has been ux- ploded So often that Its explosion now Is only a lizzie. It Is given out that the president IS not opposed to the repeal of the prohibitive tax on state 1 bank circulation! The tax and the banks may be both corifetatunlly opposed. Tho tax IH a dishonest method of prohibition, and as such wliould be removed from the federal statute books.

The wisdom of state banks Is not a logical sequence of tha tux repeal. The English houso of lords is stubbornly resisting the popular will on the Irish home rule bill, and the American house of lords Is stubbornly delaying the popular demand on the silver purchase repeal bill. The upper house Is olio English ctmtoni that tho American public hag scrloue cause to think of abolishing. The final expulsion of the from Russia Is potjtjjuned i next June-but only postponed. If there Is ever to be pufUdiiient of nations correcting the evils of recalcitrant governments, now is an opportune time for It to be called.

Mr. J. Cook of Denver has Issued tha call for his new party. It will attempt to yank the silver lining from the clouds and raise thunder. Those democrats In Texas who arc so anxious for harmony and are off tho platform would find peace by climbing up.

The labor conference at Galveston didn't say a word about free silver. Tho worklngnmn is beginning to understand that when commercial confidence Is disturbed industry lags and labor stagnates. When a greasy-mouthed politician begins to grow frothy over "gold bugs" and "Wall street" it Is time somebody was capturing him and doctoring his great head with axle grease. It Is unaccountable that no many passengers should consider both themselves and the daring scamp who holds them up and robs them heroes of the first water. Prosperity Is knocking at the door of tho senate.

Governor Walte of Colorado has mada his reputation and can now crawl off and die whenever he is moved to do so. STATE PRESS. Pipirt Throughout the Stttk Art Talking About The Crockett Courier That was a very embarrassing tud.o in which ex-Governor JLee of vir- glnt.a found Itlinoalf a few duyo iigo, whilo tho Virginia state convention in It ww reported that Mrs. Cleveland had given birth to a son. Assuming the report to be true, Governor Ijpe phssprl through the ventton and forwtlrded over owu signature a resolution of congratulations.

His embarrassment can be easily; Imagined when it was discovered that the report was not true and was simply an Irresponsible street rumor. The Courier says: The colored Methodist camp meeting had an addition of sixty-four to tho church as tho result of the meeting. This is ertld by Hanson, the veteran Journalist who edits the Waelder Local: There are lots of people who look upon a newspaper as a stale affair unless It Is ridiculing: or abusing some individual or stirring up contention and strife in political, social and religious circles. It Is to satisfy the demand of such that gives rise to such publications as Days Doings, the Sunday Sun and papers of that character. There is also a class of politicians who thlnle there la nothing to be accomplished by.

a- paper that does not "sling mudf and abuse its opponents. ThtB is probably the most dangerous class to Journalism from the fact that young and inexperienced writers ure so easily controlled by thorn, for they are besieged on almost every turn with inquisitorial demands of ''Why don't you give him Hits?" This "giving him fits" has had the effect of changing the course and destroying the usefulness of more young writers than probably everything elsd Combined, from the fact that when they once get into that style of writing they lose all taste for and interest In philosophical argument, and naturally drop into vituperative abuse and vulgar ridicule to refute every proposition advanced by a contemporary. The result is that refined, philosophic writers avoid them in the same manner that law abiding men shun the udo or the moral man eschews the charlatan. And It is a lamentable fact that there aro too many of this class of writers being educated at the present day. Tuo tf-ue.

The Waeider Local says: Waelder is not the county seat of Gunwales county, but it id situated on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad and Is surrounded by as fertile and healthy district of country as can be found In this section of the state. We have good schools, good churches, good society ana a hospitable and industrious people, ready to welcome all who cuiho hero with a desire to make themselves useful to the community and a benefit to morally, socially and pecuniarily. We have a population of nearly 1000, and abuut every line ol! morcantlle business necessnry to the trade is wc-11 ropnjsuntud by an upright class of men anxious to live and lot live, to Whom thu mercantile 1 traveler ia always anxious to make sales 19 surprising the a of brass, cheek and gull directors of fairs, colleges, can exhibit to set their enterprises advertised free- of chiLrgu. If newspapers generally Would "sit down" on them squarely, a rash would accompany mudoKt request to have half a column uf small typu set up fur nothing. Brother Robinson of the Iluntsvllld Item says: The Item during the past month en tered upon Its forty-fourth year.

Wo will continue to get up the- bust paper possible out of tho Income received, which we might adU has boen cunsldur- nbly below i expenses the post fuw months. Sorry for It: but business la improving and the Item always gels Its sharp. It has Jived through many vlrlR.sltudcfl and IB one of tho throe oldest papers In Texas. The futhnr of the present publisher started it in 1840. The Item says: Judge Gibson, assistant of the penitentiary ut Husk, and Mr.

Strain, of tho coaling camps the: 1 spent a day or two here tills week in conference with out' pon ofiiclnls. Thu prison at Husk, in consequence of the closing down of tho Iron furnace and tho suspension of work i at the coaling camps, with the addition- I nl railroad forces being sent In, Is In the same condition of the Institution hero to overflowing. The convict question appears now to be getting a dltlon, not a theory. A visitor to Gnlveston from Hunts- vlllo says in the Item: SXAP SHOTS. It is generally conceded that pefece is worth fighting for.

The purt.ua who runs in a rut is In a bad way. Many people never learn anything De- cause they are either too etupid or too smart to lonrn. Jiorse trading seems always to have been regarded as a legitimate school of cheating, In which young gallants might learn to bite and bo bitten. Nothing Is more discouraging than to take a string and measure our great men. It fs not so bad for ono to take hia own time, provided In doing so he does not lake tlio time uf others.

Hhu'B looking at her reflection In the, wlr.do\va to If her hat'a (hlc) on We visited the orphans' asylum, established by the Protestant churches, a la rim, cool, roomy surrounded by splendid play grounds for the children to exercise in. There are two matrons. Mesdatnes Clark and tlan, and twenty-eight children, ranging from two a to sixteen. Mrs.

Clark rang the bell and called them all up. and they were a verv happy set of children, Indeed. We understand the children have the advantages of tho public school near by. The cemeteries! aro all very beautifully kept, them being one for each denomination, and we enjoyed the stroll through them extremely, A man Is hired, at very little expense we understand, who lives close by and gives them his undivided attention, thus always keeping thum neat and In repair, The Garten Vereln we visited i Mr. Penlnnd.

Tt is certainly a Invoiy place, especially for ladles and children. Tho grounds arc kept perfectly rlenn nnd beautiful with shrubbery and flowers. A band of musicians made lovely music, which harmonised with the surroundings. In the pavilion there was a string band playinjj dance music and the young people tripped the light fantastic and were truly happy and light hearted. After enjoying the music and dancing, Mr.

Penland invited us over to the club house, where a fish supper was served on the broad verandah. Then we visited tho ton pin alley and saw crowds en- Joying the lovely rural retreat afforded them by tho Garten Verein. Woollam's lake is another lovely resort for picnickers, being especially adapted for that purpose. A lake surrounded by shrubbery and IlowcTS, oleanders, Is what one sees, and here one can sit, rest and dream to their heart's content. Friday night we went sailing on the bay in Captain Betteraon's yacht.

A boun- i lunch was prt-parfil, mid al! on board report having had a most delightful time, for which credit IB due Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Johnson.

Sealy News ou the cost of cotton: A bulletin Issued at the agricultural experiment station gave detailed siute- ments of what cotton coats per pound to raise pr Bflvtfal planters, Rome claiming to havo raised crops that cost only from to 4 qputs per pound Now a mooting of the sttvte Grange haa passed resolutions claiming that cotton can not be raised for less than cents per pound on an average, and denouncing the bulletin as misleading and Injurious to tbe Cotton planters' Interests in Texas. It Is not likely that cotton can be raised anywhere at less cost than right here la Austin county, and probably the misleading figures came from just such cotton growers as we have here, who work hard, hire little or no help, and figure their labor 0 in making up statistics.

It is true they save money on raising cotton, but it Is because they are thrifty and Industrious, making a living from other crops and stock, thus leaving cotton as so much clear gain. Still none of the farmers hero claim cotton can be raised as low as 4 cents a pound. The Denison Herald tells how the noble red man, the stoic of the wilds, meets his fate: The question Is'fcsked: "HoW the CHoctaws die? "What will be the conduct of those to be shot at Wllburtun in a few days?" The Writer was present fifteen years ago at Atoka when a full- hlood Choctaw murderer was executed, receiving a shot through the heart, fired by the sheriff of Atoka county. The Choctaws always uie gume. They are as indifferent and philosophical as Socrates, the Greek, while bidding farewell to the world and Us vain joys in the cup of hemlock ere the fitful plunge into the land of oblivion.

The religion of the full-blood takes away from death all KB grim terrors. As soon as he dies he believes that his soul goes at once to happy grounds and fair land in tho skies, where there Is no death, there are towering 1 mountains, broad forests, grassy platiiH and rivers of sweet crystal waters that flow undl- rninlshfd forever. In the happy hunting ground the Choctuw. has his own land, and when he dies he dwells among his own people. In this blessed place there is no sickness, the men are all strong, the women beautiful, the horsefl are all fleet, and existence Is one long, happy, endless round of hunt- Ing, feasting, dancing and merry-mak- Inn.

Yes, the condemned men will die for In their exultation they welcome death as a sweet reverie, which wafts their soul to the land of perpetual biles. At the execution at Atoka the murderer died with songs upon his lips. Embracing his mother and sister, and then pointing to his honrt, he th? command to fire, chanting the death song. This was all Marshal Ncy could do. Geo.

B. Lovlhg lately visited the great stock ranch of Chas. Goodnight, located on the Staked Plains, In Armstrong county about twenty miles above Clarendon, and writes tu thu Live Stuck and Farm Journal: On one side of the large yard and beautiful lawn Is a small pasture In which are comfortably located a drove of fat, sleek, contented deer. Adjoining and a little back Is a ure enclosed as they all are i a high, close, barbed wire fence, in which arc some twenty-five, full-blood buffalo, a nui'iher of half and three-quarter bloodfi and some forty or fifty pnre bred black tnuleys. In same pasture are some fifteen or twenty elk.

New York Herald. "Many peoplu 'are grossly mistaken In their notions about eating fruit In Ha relation to cholera," my friend the doctor, as he el pud himself to another peach. "They have nn Idea," he continued, I'rult UiliL-n imo thu ntunmch the system more sunccptlble to cholera and thus Invites BJI attack uf tho disease. Noth ing could be wider of the mark. It Is not against fruit itself but against condition that phyHlcltins object during hot weather and In cholera seasons.

Fruit that is ripe, clean und sound may be oaten fmfcly at all times, while that whlfh Is unripe, unclean or decayed Is always dangerous, no matter whether there Is cholera In thu neighborhood or The custom so generally observed of cutting off the family supply of fruit merely because cholera an Invasion of our ports Ia foolish und reprehensible In the extreme.

Is both foolish and cruel. Aiy advice Is don't give up the fruit. Make sure that It is rlpo and clean and then you may cat It I'reeiy i risk.

The juices of our unlive fruits instead of being debilitating to thu stomach are among the beat tonics for It. They ure cleansing, cooling and autl- acorbutlc in their action. They may never have cured a case of cholera, but when taken after proper care In the matter of cleunllnesi! they never led to an attack of that or any other disease, "Tho great evil tu guard against In fruit, as In everything else we la unclennll- nes3.

St. Louis There aeemt; to be more or losa mlscon' oepUoii of the purport and tendency of the Wilson bill in Us general relation to our currency system. It does not involve th demonetization of silver, aa IB being BUff Bested in certain quarters; nor docs It re Vive any preYioud legislation, upon the sub Ject. The effect of He passage--and the same Is to be said of the Voorhees bill--wil be to atop the purchase of 4,600,000 ounccst of silver per month and the iaduantie ol treasury notes In all other respects It leaves the silver question jusi where It was before. The amount of ailvei coin and certificated In circulation will hot be diminished, nor the quality of the same In any sense impaired.

There will be no more purchasing of silver by the government for cotnace without further legislation--that is all. The present volume ol such currency, backed by the pledge of the national faith to maintain it at a parity with gold, will remain in the channels of trady, without any taint of legislative discredit, or any danger of depreciation in purchasing power, ifut there will he no law left In force for increasing this kind of mon-jy. If It shall be deemed wise at any time to coin more of It, congrcBB will have to make provision to that but In the absence of a new law for that purpose) there will be no addition to the existing amount of silver currency. The repeal of tho Sherman law does not Imply any intention or disposition to eliminate silver from our currency system. There Is a general wish, as there has always been, to retain it as a permanent part of the circulating medium; and ever the amount tfan be safely and expediently increased, the people will not object to further coinage.

The trouble just now is that the limit haa been reached in the power of the country to absorb and utilize the white metal for monetary purposes. It is a question not of partiality of one metal over the other, but of securing the largest use of both without subordinating cither to tho other; and the only way to insure this result Is to regulate the relative a i of each in accordance with welt ustabhtfliud Iliuincial laws and precedents. The situation may not long remain as it Is. There Is a strong probability that within few years at furthest tbe conditions will change In such a way as to justify new silver coinage, law; but It is the buBbi of statesmanship to i current fa und to shape public policies for present uses. It Is to the Interest of all sections and classes to have a currency of uniform value, with every dollar pawKinjf at par nil purposes.

That la the advantage which the stoppage at silver purchases Is designed to conserve and promote, We have as much silver as we can profitably and prudently employ, and the proposition is simply to discontinue ltd coinautt until Bucll lime as we shall have room for more of It in our commercial and Industrial operations. Such is the meaning and tho ubject of thp Wilson bill, practically speaking; and nobody need be In doubt for a moment na to the effects that will follow Its pos- TELEGRAPH WIIUS PROTECTION. New York Tinios. Is there Any good reason why our system of telegraphic communication should be at the mercy of the elements?
