The Waco Telephone, commenting upon
the possibility of Garfield and Arthur both
diving before ihs next congress meets, and
puere and contemplate course OF Arthur in
not permitting the election of u president
pro tempore of the senate, because the
democrats wers III the majority, says:
This rather novel possibility is due simply
and solely to the partisan ard rather con-
tcmp,ible course OF Vice President Arthur,
in the closing days OF The senatorial session.
Heretofore it has always been custom that
the vice president, before adjournment,
would temporarily vacste tho casir, necsssi
ta,iag the election OF u president pro TEN. of
the senate. No political party has ever
taken any advantage ofsuch action save to
elect the president pro tenn. from the ranks
of the dominant side. Vice President Wheeler
observed the custom and courtesy, and the
democrats elected Thurman. 1t was expect.
ed that Mr.. Arthur, before Adjournment,
would observe the precedent. Had Conklng
and Plat remained at their posts there is 10
doubt Mr. Arthur would have initiated his
predecessors. But when the resigna.i n2 left
atemporsry democratic majority, this ma
chae pactlsan OF sLaiwartism utterly ignored
all precedent, and the senate adi ourned
without eleclng pro tempore chairman. 1t
is 10 be hoped, OF course, that nothing may
occur to make possible confusion aud com
pcations, but the incident is related to
Illustrate TO whist eXtremes, in utter disregard

neglected such III important precGu.ion.
The Waco Examiner does Professor Tice
great injustice when ii declares him .falie
| prophet. lie only pretends to forecast the
weather for the latitude of st. Louis and
| Chicago which will be approximately cor
| rect in contiguous lstitudes. He is correct
in this latitude about four times out of five
and in his latitude, as we have closely obser.
| we'd, abou: seven times out OF ten. The
Examiner says:
Like the gay mustang of the plains Texas
| weather mas wild will OF its own and tftS
curb or spur or the representations OF
| prophets. Ii comes when you don't expect

| humor takes it, Tice and Vennor are frauds
in genera! way, and Texas farmers had bet.
ter rely on u patent medicine aimsDax,
| which tells them TO look cut for hot weather
in July or cold snap in January, rather
than on these two worthless who have set
themselves as prophets, Tor old Eljsh's
mantle has not fallen upon them.
The Decatur Tribune gives good and SEN
'ible advice in tine following: Keep the boys
at hons is the idea. Make home pleasant
for them and make them interested in all
their surroundings. The longer they remain
with their mothers and fathers the better.
The Tribune say:
Give the boys some sheep, calves, colts,
pigs OF poul,ryand let them understand that
No ptJnss ~ all theirs, to do with as they
please, and thereby interest them 10 farm
life. Let them have land TO cultivate with
crops OF their own, and teach tho successful
methods Of culture Not only give these
privileges TO The boys, but to tho girls ne
well, Tor the time has como when woman
should lead independent lives, conducive TO
health, happiness, and the accomplishment
OF grand objects.
The Bfenham Banner says oil the new
cotton seed oil mill in Columbus us fol

stock OF the Columbus oil mill the mer-

not lake dollars worth OF stock IN II. The
Citizen goes for the merchants in lively
manner and ACCUSES them OF lack OF enter

And the Citizen did right to "c9i ,r .aom.'
