THE CAPITAOL STATE FAIR

Now that the Capitol State Fair Asso-
citation has been organized, Ii Is to be
hoped that In the arrangement of the
premium list the claims of every class of
exhibitors, whether stock, agricultural,
mechanical, artistic or industrial, may he
fairly, FULLY and equitably considered and
the awards so proportiOned that every
class of citizens may be made TO feel that
they are directly interested In the sue
cess of the fair. No discrimination in
favor of any given idea or interest can he
INDUCED without prejudice to all others.
III favoritism is shown In the least particu-
lar, popular sentiment will express its
disapproval of the fact in such apathy or
Indifference rs will result in positive de-
triment to the society, whereas twill be
sure to approve and endorse with ma
terial recognition every act of impartial
equity. As liberal encouragement rs is
practicable within the prospective means
of the association should be given TO each
and all the several grades and classes of
animals, but prize of sufficient value to
insure grand herd competitions in the
different families Of horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs, should by all means be offered.
In no other way can general turn out
| OF stock be 80 certainly secured If prop
erly approached. Galveston will provide
ample and generous premiums on at
least a half dozen grades OF cotton. New
| Orleans and St.Louis may be brought
into competition for the machinery
| trade of the southwest ut this
point. The International Railroad COM
pany have already expressed a willing
ness TO grace the exhibition with their
great collection of Texas products and
| we should, as a community, with our
| endeaVors to maintain the honorable
name which the society has established
| In the past. Our merchants and capital
| lists should look at the question in its bust
ness aspect and together with our profess
SIGNALS and citizens generally, should
unite with and sustain the efforts OF the
association TO the end, that the success
of this acknowledged benefcence shall be
establish and permanently maintained IN
4 our midst. As clubs or rs individuals
they should oder special premiums on any
article, animal or class of animals they
may wish to encourage. This would add
an attractive feature to the premium list
and would not materially foster the en-
terprise but would be most creditable TO
our people I'D city.

Over the miniature marble throne

Judge Jameson, of Chicago,

ground of habitual drunkenness in
her husband, though the evidence
showed that the man was no more
than very moderate tippler. ais
he fit" his honor argued, in his re-
maTkRble decision, "to be the father
of his wife's children? The great
est cruelty that can possibly be in
fiicted upon a woman is to make her
the mother of children likely to be-

would be justified in providing that
where a man has so INDUCED in
drink as to have tainted his blood,
and thus made it probable that his
offspring will take by inheritance a
tendency to vicious courses, that fact
alone should be good ground for a

cases be kind, indulgent husband

A learned professor, German. OF
course, has been studying the ques-
ton Of lightning, and the danger
we are under from it. he finds
that thunder storms are much more
prevalent than of yore, and are in
creasing in number every year. He
also finds-and this is much worse
that the aim of lightning is becom-
ing more accurate each year, and
that we are, in consequence, in
greater danger from it. The reason
of this is, he thinks, very conspicu-
ous-the increase of railways and
the use of metal in house construc-
