which so clearly foreshadows the present movement
We print it again for their benefit: While these

metallic substance at the further end of the ROOM

there were some small round holes through which

The Senate has voted to sustain the Presl-
dents veto of the Currency bill. When the
measure passed the Senate. about three Weeks
ago, it received a vote of 20 to "a. yesterday
on the question of passing the DILL inc
Presidents veto Notwithstanding, there were
"a yeas to 80 nays, the requisite two-thirds
vote not being obtained. This last result has
been anticipated, and the bill finally sleeps.

The introduction of a bill to restore the income
tax is described in the Washington dispatches as a
threat of retaliation" from the defeated imitation
lists That is not unlikely for there is no financial
absurdity OF which the cheap money party" is not
capable We do not envy however the political
fate of any man who makes himself Responsible for
the imposition OF tho most odous and Onerous of ali
possible taxes In a time when the country has been
ten years at peace with all the world. But there ia
a class of statesmen at Washington who cannot
realize that the war is over. They want an ire
deemable currency; they want an income tax aud

The danger to the Stevens Apartment House
has evidently been exaggerated. In an inter-
view with the assistant of the architect VINO
built the first part of it, the responsibility Tor
the weak foundation was yesterday placed upon
the architects of the addition. They make
vigorous response this morning in separate
cards. The controversy, at any rate, shows
already that there is less cause than was at
first to make any about.

The Fifth Avenue Pavement bill passed the
Assembly last night, and is now before the
Senate. As it stands, the bill levies the cost
of the work on the city. instead Of on the
residents along the proposed line of improve
ment. There are many opinions about the
merits of this scheme, one Assemblyman going
so far as to say that any member who voted
for it at less price than $500 had been swim

GOOD NEWS.

Senator Erath writes Col. Taylor that
his (Taylor'S railroad bill has passed the
Senate and is favorably reported upon BY
the Committee to the House. The bill
proposes to start from Bremond or Hearne,
or some intermediate point, and crossing
the Brazos below this city, come Oh
through and pass hence up the country
between the Brazos and Leon. An amen, .
ment by the Senate provides that aftel
crossing the Brazos the road is to run up
the Bosque, thence to Comanche, and ins
tersecting the Texas Pacific in Shackle-
ford county, continue in the came direc-
tion to the State line.
BY mother amendment, this line is not
to consolidate with any OF her road runi
ming parallel with 1t; and, if running
within five miles of any county seat, q
depot to be established v it'll

tirsly proper
This action meets with our most hearty
comendation. As q solution of the grave
problem Of frontier protection, 1t is int
comparably better than any plan yet pro-
posed. 1t strikes at the root Of the evil
by planting people there, and while cost
ing nothing in money, pours millions
now latent, into the swelling revenues o.
the State. On with the road and let tn,

The little feet that followed them,
That voice that such music gave;
The little hands and cheeks thou has so
often pressed,
Lie silent in the grave.
They'll never toll through weary years,
Nor breath for anguish free;
THEY'LL never shed those bitter tears,
That grief has rung from thee.
His blessed spirit has flown away,
Too pure to linger here;

And then you'I meet him there.
Among the saints in paradise,
His shining form must dwell,
And calmly wait the appointed hour.
Till you shall meet him there.
