The Galveston News (Dcm): We
deeply regret Gov. Roberts unfortunate
and needless refusal 10 unite with the
other Governors in recommending a day
of thanksgiving and prayer for the re-
covery of the President. 1t is at least
some satisfaction TO feel assured that in
this manner he cannot be pointed to as
an exponent of Texas, or the South, or
of the Southern Democracy. His phe-
nOmenal and exceptiOnal!attitude may
be attributed by some persons, who have
studied his habits with more critical
than friendly eye, to a studious cultiva-
ton of Oddiiy and a prurient desire for
notorieiy. There can be no question
that il such d, sire has ragged in his
bosom, he has at last hit upon method
for achieving its superlative gratifica-
ton. His name will be spread on the
wings of the telegraph and blazOned
through the papers. In fact, it must be
conceded that Gov. Roberts, by his de-
liberate repulse of the invitation to par
ticipate with all the other Governors in
thanksgiving proceedings on account of
the Presidents probable escape from
death by assassination, will acquire ma
tiOnal, and even worldwide Reputation
which Guiteau himself might envy.

a FINANCIAL VIEW OLE IN.

The New York Mercantile Journal is
not addicted TO hobbies. 1t is not under
the control of men Of one idea, and IA
natics have no part in its editorial
management. It is especially de-
voted 70 the interests OF trade,
and questions receiving attention
through its columns are discussed
from a practical business standpoint.
There are no sentimentalists employed
on its corps of writers and Mr.. Grad
grind himself was never more tenacious
on the score of "facts" than this journal.
from whose issue of the 23rd inst we
copy the following sensible and con-
vincing observations on the temperance
question:
"a sweeping article appears in the N
Y. Herald of July 10, in which the vari
Gus crimes and imbeciliiies Of our New
York city population, together with
their consequent drafls upon the city
treasury, were enumerated. We are in
debted 10 this article for many OF the
figures below.
Some good judges say that 80 per
cent of all crime and pauperism Is ulti-
mately iraceable la the use of liquor.
There ARE none that place this estimate
below 20 per cent Chief among the de-
pariments of our city government
which are made necessary by crime or
paupcrism are: the Police Department,
the Court OF General Sessions, the
Bureau of Charities and Correction.
The appropriations to these depart
ments in 1896 were in the aggregate $5,-
42S,597. IL 20 per cent of crime
and pauperism is occasiOned by liquor,
and crime and pauperism called into
existence these departments, it is but
fair To charge 20 per centOf their expense
to alcohol. Alcohol cost this city last
year, then, s., SOO.O15. Other items would
swell this sum easily to $4.0O0,OO0, or
$3.50 per capita oman, woman and child
for our population. The city received
for licenses last year S415, 280. the cost
of collecting which WAS $S6.175. There
remained 1929, lO5. But this paltrY
sum, when compared with the cost of
alcohol to the city for that year, was
more than devoted To the endowment of
private benevolent institutions, in them
selves commendable charities but
in no way lining the bur-
den from the New York
taxpayer. We commend this view of
the liquor question to that portion of
tax payers who support the liquor traf
flc either directly by patronage, or indi
recIly 10y influence. We ;sS them, does
it pay?
How alcohol preys upon mans noblest
faculties appears from the statistics of
the Asylum for the Insane during a sin
gle year. Total admission, 254; of these,
incorporate, 1877; moderate drinkers, 60;
unknown, So; abstinents, 8. Another

DIR. Bliss, the chief surgeon of the

that he patented the "Condurango"
medicine, which was contrary TO the
ethical code Of the medicine men, gave
him AN unpleasant professional position
notwithstanding his acknowledged skill
and ability in the profession. Doctors

The fact that DIR. Bliss had good thing

The Fastest Ever Trotted.

BELMONT PARK, Pa, July 28.-Over
10000 people visited this track to-day to
witness the attempt Of Maud s. 10 beat
her record of :101%, made at Pittsburg.
The crowd was the largest ever seen con-
gregated at this track and was good
natnred and well-behavcd, the only
trouble being the great desire to over
run the. course and thus impede the trot-
ter. After jogging around the track she
was sent off on the first heat, reaching
the quarter in 33l the half in / :05
three-quarters in 1871 and completed
the mile in 2:12, without The slightest
indication of break. In the second
heat she reached the quarter in 3211S. the
half in :0324, and the ihree-quarters in
:37I. Here she hesitated, sweryed
and finally made bad break but recover
ing, came under the wire in 2:134. The
third and last heat was almost rep
etition of the first, being trotted clearly
and squarely without even a skip, the
first quarter being made in 331s, the half
in :05. the threc-quarters 10 :3S1<, and
the mile in 2:1215. These three consec-
utive heats are the fastest ever trotted by
any horse in the world. Vanderbilt was
present and watched the race from the
Judges stand.

sxAI1. FRurrs.-Mixed husbandry is

SNAIL FRUTTs-Mixed husbandry is
generally the most profitable in the long
run, and applies as we'll to small fruits
as to farm crops; therefore W. would not
advise our correspondent TO place her
whole reliance on strawberries. For a
fruit farm of three acres we would re-
commend one half of an acre each of
strawberries, raspberries, Snyder black
berries and grapes, and a quarter of an
acre each of currents and goOseberries,
leaving half an acre for the vegetable
garden, and then with the whole sur
rounded with hardy cherry trees and a
few Siberian crabs. This would give a
continuous succession of profitable
fruits, and spread the labor over the
entire season, and it is not best to put
your entire dependence on any one var
iety of any species of fruit Especially is
this proper with the strawberry, for we
have found that nearly every season
some varieties will do poorly, others
well.-Prairie Farmer.

Advices from the frontier would seem
to indicate that the auspicious moment
has arrived for Secretary KirkwOod to
dryelope stalwart Indian policy. The

even III the annals of aboriginal afro
cities, for tiendish cruelty, and the indig.
mites practiced upon women who fall
into the hands of the red devils who are
marauding along the route al the hapless
emigrant are too sickening for rublica-
ton. The late outbreaks in the west
will tend Ia strengthen the conviction
that the only good Indian is dead In

murderous Apaches and other tribes
of their ilk be conducted upon that
hypothesis.

TIME BALLS.

An eastern exchange publishes the fol-
lowing interesting sketch regarding time
balls, which are coming into general
vogue throughout the country:
Time balls have been in operation in
our country since 1855, when one was
placed upon the National Observatory
at Washington City. Subsequently time
balls were used in New York, Boston,
Hartford, St. Louis and Kansas City.
Cincinnati, July 1S, rejOiced in gen.
eral regulator OF time being placed upon
the Carlisle building. At the corner a
20 foot fiag-staf has been placed Slid
ing up and down the pole is a black ball,
BIZ feet in diameter, formed of wire and
covered with canvass. Directly I'M
der the tower is an automatic
brake MINDLESS. Five minutes before IL
(noOn) the ball is hoisted by q
rope attached TO the windlass
to the top of the pole. At precisely IL
the observatory operators by electricity
detach a steel pin holding the rope. and
the ball drops six feet, and by the auto
matte brake reeling off slowly the rope
from the windlass, the globe descends
till further SIX feet.
Greenwich observatory, six miles from
London center, established in the reign
of Charles ii, first gave exact time daily.
Greenwich time" known all over the
world, is marked every day at 10 O'Clock
by the dropping of black ball Six feet
in diameter, surmOunting the Z turret,
and acting in instantaneous communi-
cation by the electric telegraph with the
clocks oil the London pOstoffice, and of
5000 telegraph stations. Uniformity of
time is thus secured for 1000, 600 people
| and punctualitY made universal.

Ai.oas enc Youngers.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July 27.-Rela-
tives of the Younger brothers, formerly
members of The notorious James and
Younger gang, were in the city two or
three months ago, collecting material TO
present 10 the governor of Minnesota
with an application for the pardon Of
the three boys. Il was understood that
a systematic effort was 30 be made for
their pardon, and 10 that end we'll
known citizens were asked to give
statements as TO facts, which might be
used TO convince the governor of that
state that the Youngers are not so black
80 they have been painted. OF course it
is not known how faF their efforts were
rewarded, but Il is now announced from
st. Paul that the interested relatives
are there with their documents prepared
to make the strongest effort possible.
Il is not believed that there is q Femotest
chance of success as the public opinion
in Minnesota would not sustain the Gov
eFnOF in exercising executive clemency,
20 that degree IN the case of the motto
Rious outlaws a1y more than the public
opinion Of Missouri would warrant the
Governor Of this state in bringing them
back here 10 resume their lawless acts.
More than this, Cole Younger has said
himself that he would not accept par
don from the Governor Of Minnesota II
it should be offered him. Under the
laws Of the state the brothers were al
lowed TO plead guilty 70 the charge of
murder IN the hTst degree and secure the
sentence Of Imprisonment for life. They
saw ft to do SO and thus escape the GER
tain fate of the gallows. Should they
accept pardon from the Governor Of
Minnesota. Cole argued, they would be at
once arrested on 6 requisition from some
other state, and tried on the merits Of
their alleged crimes with no convenient
them protection from the EXTREMIST pea.
