after leaving Navarro going toward Beach
City the sleet storm had been much more
severe through there than it had been
about Canton, fruit trees especially Peach
and Cherry trees had suffered very much.
Between Beach City and Mt. Eaton, it was
still more severe, large and ANAL trees
were bent and broken down, and many
large trees torn out by the roots. On ar
rivlng at-Mt. Eaton more I think than
half the fruit trees Apple, Peach, and Cher

after passing Mt. Eaton l got about half
way to Middletown, and there found the
woods bleckaded with fallen timber brok-

lated during 9th and 7th inst, I could get
no further and went to q farmer over night
and next morning We went out to chop
and clear the road, but IN going up the

twenty eight trees laying In and across
the road. Such q scene I never witnessed,

PRoyEssoR PRocTsz, Of England, = dis
tinguiShed Astronomer, Is now ~lOcturing
in New York. In his lecture on comets
and mstsOrs on Saturday evening lat as
reported in full in the N. Y. Ti5Wne, the
learn sbs says:
"The comets that are coming frsm in
torstellar space have some Of them taken
eight millions OF years to make their jour
nSy, and We have nj reason to think it is
their first visit to our sslAr system. They
seem to be floating from sun to sun. Bur
ing these immeEss periods of time our Jun
and the whole Of the solar system have
undergone changes. DonAtis comet is an
illustration Of one Of these long periods.
The fact must be remembered, that while
shoWors of m0tOors are unusual phenome-
M, mstsoritss tll avery day and every
hour e the day. Our sagth is absolutely
growing BY thoss falls. The tineis actu-
ally past whom the earth il growing Vlsi-

4o0,0O0,e00 Of them every day The
rate ct which they arrive Is very much
more rapid than that Of 4 bullet If there
was no protection We should certainly be
destroyed. That protection il the atmos-
phore. When . meteor encounters the
atmosphere its Vslocity Is frat reduced
& then it in consumed BY the heat genera

Conpraaaional.

On the 18th in the Senate the Post
Route bill was discussed in the morning
hour; the debate on the specie resump-
ton question was resumed, Mr.. Morton
speaking in opposition to a contraction of
the currency Mr.. Howe introduced 8
bill for the withdrawal of ir~redeemable
national notes and the substitution of re-
deemable national bank notes. In the
House the consideration of the Naval Ap-
preparation bill was completed and the
bill passed. The Committee that went to
Nsw-OrleAns to investigate the charges
against Judge Durell believe that he will
be impeached.
On the 10th the Senate resumed the
consideration of the specie payment ques-
ton. Nj. Sherman argued that specie is
the only true standard Of value, and ur-
ged an immediate resumption. The
Senate adjourned till Monday. A large
number Of private bills were introduced
in the House. An effort will be made on
Tuesday to force the bill restoring the
Franking Privilege through the House.

How the:Lav IL Disrsgarded by Cab
met ORoers-

WAsHIHaroH, Jan. 1.-THE act Of on
gress of August 26, 1912, requires the
Secretary of the Interior to transmit to the
Speaker of the House early in January
of each year a full and detailed statement
Of the expenditure of the contingent fund
of the several offices of the Department,
showing 10 whom payments were made,
for what made, &c. The terms of the law
are plain and specific and it is obligatory
upon the Secretary to make this report:
But Mr.. Delano has never complied with
this law. I have searched the journals OF
the House for the last three years and no
such report has ever been made to that
body.
But this is not the only department
which is required by law to report the eI-
pe~nditures Of its contingent fund to Con-
gress and has failed so to do. The act
above quoted requires the Postmaster
General to make a full and detailed state
ment of the contingent fund OF the several
Offices of the Post Office Department, and
a careful examination of the journals Of
the House shows that no such report has
been made since 1870. The Navy and
Wan Departments are In the same cate
CORY. The act of 1912 requires the Sec
rotary ofthe Navy and the Secretary Of
War to make similar reports, and they
have neglected to do so.
Is it ignorance Of the law or inadvert-
ence that has caused these high officers to
violate their oath Of Officer There are
old officials in each of these departments
thoroughly familiar with the old routine,
and even if the Secretaries are ignorant Of
the laws their s~ubordinates must have
called their attention to the practice here
tofore. There is some cause for their neg
ligence, to use a mild term. Is it because
their wives have had new landaulets with
rose colored silk lining purchased with
money belonged to the contingent fund 2
Is 1t because Temporary clerks and messen-
gers paid out Of the contingent fund serve
their country In the private livery of q
Delano, Robson, or Creswell?
Certainly this is a subject which Con-
gress is bound to inquire into. The laws
have been violated, and the responsibility
to q very great extent rests with Congress
because it was the duty of that body to
see that the money appropriated was hon
estly and properly expended.
But this, after all, Is a fair illustration
of the careless and reckless manner in
which public business is conducted by this
Administration and q Republican Con-
gress. There are standing committees of
the House whose sole duty it is to exam
inc the expenditures of every department..
If they thought of performing their work
they would have discovered that these re-
ports had not been made In accordance
with law, We will see if any action is
now taken In the matter.

Texas.

They are having a Louisiana time in
Texas. At the election some time age the
Democratic ticket was chosen by some
fifty thousand majority. The new Cover
nor, Richard Cooke, was sworn in last
week, but the radical Governor Davis
wont give up claiming his term rum to
April %. Things came near E collision
in Austin one day last week where a lot
of negroes and a few whites arrested the
Maeor. The turn out of old Texans with
old arms was alarming and the Mayor
was set at liberty. Davis appealed to
President Grant for federal troops but
they were refused. A correspondence has
passed, Davis proposing to submit the
matter to the President or to Congress, to
which Governor Cooke declines as the peo7
pie of Texas decided in his favor by q de-
cided and unmistakable majority and he
will not compromise them. Grants At
terney General, Williams, telegraphed
Gov. Davis last Saturday that the Presi-
dent authorized him to say-"that under
the constitution Of Taxes State Officers
were elected for q term of tour years and
more than four years having expired since
your election, he is of the opinion that
your right to the Office of Governor at this
time is at least so doubtful, he does not
feel warranted in furnishing UnitedS States
troops to aid you N holding further pos
session of it, and he therefore declines to
comply with your request.

1t is but Just K say of the inaugural
address Of Governor Allen that it is I mod
est, business like and under the ciTcum-
stances sensible document. Not nav
ing been officially connected with the state
government hitherto, he does not come
before the legislature with = long haran-
que to convince it that everything has
been going wrongly up to this time and
that he-the new governor-proposes to
have matters reformed, His allnsion 10
the excessive increase of taxation. his re-
minder of the legislature that it will next
year be called upon to ratlfy and revise
the new Constitution presented by the
Constitutional Convention, his suggestion
that taxation be restricted, and his brief,
fifty spoken acknowledgements to the
people for their confidence and to his pre-
dscessor for personal and official eourts-
sies, are all timely and well expressed.
Governor Noyes In his recent message has
50 thorouRhY reviewed the condition of
the State, that Governor Aliens neglect
to go the whole ground again shows
q degree of good taste which his political
friends and opponents will alike aoknoWl-
edge. The question of Governor Aliens
shrewdness as an observer and his ability
as an executive, remains to be proven.
Thus far, however. he has commenced
well.-QeV.L Leader:
