To the Voters of Bexar County.

1t being the universal opinion that no county
convention be held to nominate candidates for
county offices, the republican executive COM
mittee, ut the suggestion of large number of
republicans and Independents have selected
without regard to party, the best available
candidates for county officers as have been pre-
Sented to your committee.
The election OF the best men, apart from all
political considerations will prove the capaci-
ty of our citizens for self government, and will
afford the best and the surest means of pro-
tecting this city and county with its citizens
from unjust or unwise legislation, against the
individual party or corporation.
To-day 1t is the unanimous sentiment and
general disposition of all parties throughout
the country to entrust good men only with the
duties and the responsibilities of power This
makes 1t incumbent upon us to present to those
we represent only such candidates us shall by
their personal character and the position they
have attained in the good will and confidence
of their fellOw-citZens be a testimonial to all
that the offices to which they may be elected,
shall be so administered as to promote the pub
lie welfare without regard to party supremacy.

fore them have endorsed and do recommend
the following for the several offices as named ::

Where the tall trees stood gaunt and brown.
saw the soft pathetic light
Touch the streams foam to glistening white.
saw the fearful lustre shed,
Where falling leaves heaped gold and red
heard the music that they make
The becks that brattle through The brake,
And toss the withered fern fronds by,
And laugh beneath the sombre sky.
heard the rivers ceaseless song,
Sweeping fir crested hills among.
The chirpings of each lingering bird
That braves the angry north, heard.
And fresh yearning woke and cried,
A voice of love unsatisfed;
And all the lovely autumn day
In burning tears seemed blurred away.
To wood and glen, to hill and plain,
For natures balm asked, in vain,
Then said, low and suddenly,
"God keep my darling safe for me-"

A remarkable instance of the utter distinc-
ton of family occurred lately, near Roxana,
Delaware. Jacob Evans and his wife died a
year or two ago, and left two sons and two
daughters. An unmarried brother of Mrs.
Evans, named Taylor, also lived for the most
of his time with the children. A short time
ago one of the daughters, who had married
meanwhile, died. In very little time Taylor
died, and was followed to the grave in few
days more by one Of the brothers. The other
brother and only remaining fragrant of the
family has been for some time at the point of
death, though at present is reported better.
of little more than a month. The family are
said to have been mentally weak, and when
death removed the first the rest gave way to
melancholy and died.

A very curious story is told DO DR.. Ham,
mand in his article, "Eccentricity and lido
syncracy," in the current number of the New
York Medical Journal: "A lady had since
her childhood shown . singularity of conduct
as regarded her table furniture, which she
would have of no other material than copper.
She carried this fancy to such an extent tina,
even the knives and forks were of copper.
People laughed at her, and tried to reason her
out OF the whim, but in vain. In no other
respect was there any evidence Of mental alb
Iteration. She was intelligent, by no mean,
sxcitable, and in the enjoyment of excellent
health. She had, moreover, decided talen,
for music. and had written several passably
good iesfor young ladies' magazine. An
uncle had, however died insane.

Rest.
Out from the great worlds crush and din;
Out from the pain, and wrong, and sin;
Out from ambitions cruel strife;
Out from the bitter race of life;
Out from its honors and affairs;
Out from its horrors and its cares,
Again, child, he lay at rest,
In holy peace on his mothers breast.
Her gentle hand toyed in his hair;
Her sweet, dear voice dispelled his care;
Her loving eyes shed light divine;
Her very presence made shrine;
His throbbing arteries ceased to TEEN;
The madding world sad, past dream;
Again, q child, he lay at rest,
In holy peace on his mothers breast.

where drinking saloons are least numerous,
every one is a southern state, except Vermont.
We do not consider Maine and Kansas to be
properly in the list, as drinking saloons are
prohibited in those states. The last state
on the list, the state in which the num-
Der of saloons is least, is South Carroll
ma This is encouraging evidence of
the progresses of the temperance move
ment will stimulate the temperance organ
izations to continue their pleading and ex-
planning The Columbus Times, in printing
the list says: "From the 2sth state down is
list of southern states with only three states
of other sections amidst them, and South
Carolina, the state that the political fanatics of
the north paint as black as sygian darkness,
we find at the bottom of the list All honor
to South Carolina for her stand in the list; all
honor to the southern states for their positions
on the roll. Let not the fanatics of the north
charge US with intemperance until they improve
their own states. Let them cast the beam
from their own eye ere they attempt to pull
out the mote from ours"
This is we'll put, but we hope that the Times
thinks that we ought to pull the notes out Of
our own eyes whatever our northern neighbors
do about the beams in theirs.

Efforts to Bring the Bill for Their Relief Before
the House.
On Saturday last, in the Senate, soon after
that body had been called TO order, Mr. George
rose and said:
/ ask that the naval appropriation bill be
laid aside temporarily, with view of taking
up resolution l offered several days ago in
structing the Committee on Pensions to report
a bill pensioning the soldiers who served in
the Mexican war and who are in such INDECENT
circumstances that they derive their subsist-
ence by manual labor and only by that. l
understood when the general pension bill was
being discussed and when an amendment was
offered looking to the PcnsiOning of the soldiers
of the Mexican war, there was very general
expression of the wish TO give 4 pension to
those of them who are INDECENT. have drawn
this resolution with q view of meeting that
sentiment on the part of the Senate. 1t is not
what | believe is due to the soldiers of the
Mexican war; but l hope the Senate will con-
sent to take up the resolution and act ON 1t aud
pass it.
Mr.. HALE. / cannot yield TO that, for sew
eral Senators have just notified me that when
the resolution of the Senator from Mississippi
comes up they wish to debate it at some length;
so that it would evidently take up at least the
day | know that under those circumstances
the Senator himself would not wish 10 take il
up.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore 4 single obec-
tion carries it over.
Mr.. GEORGE. Have | right to make a
motion now to take up the resolution?
The PRESIDENT pro temsg0rc. The Senator
has right to move to set aside the naval ap-
preparation bill and take tine sense Of the Sen
ate upon that motion with q view to taking up
the resolution.
Mr.. GEORGE. believe it my public duty to
make that motion.
Dir. HALE. l hope the Senator viii not
make that motion. OF course Il Is il his dis
cretiOn, if he chooses, but we have the naval
appropriation bill up now, aud l am sure the
Senate desires TO 90 GA with it.
Mr.. GEORGE. Ii l could he assured that

present session Of the Senate to make the
motion. / would not press it now. With the
understanding that shall have such an oppor-

would suggest to the Senator that after the
appropriation bills are passed, OF course there
must be considerable time. 1t Is IOr tuc Senate

RESIGNATION OF THE FRENCH MINISTRY.
In the French Chamber of Deputies, on the
2Sth of July, NJ de Freycinet said that without
the mandate of Europe, intervention, properly
so called, would be neither wise nor prudent.
The present operation could lead to 10 conflict
with Europe. France would occupy the ends
of the canal with 1900 men, and would show
to England that she possessed the sympathy
and moral suVEo-s of the French people As
Turkey had announced an intention of dis
patching troops to Egypt this was not the mo-
ment to refuse the grant. Such course would
be preiudicial to the interests of France IN
Egypt and 10 her prestige in the eyes OF the
Mussulman world. The Powers were scouting
the idea of collective protection of the canal,
and the Conference was about to consider this
phase of the question. Both France and Eng
land would be disposed to participate in this
collective action. In conclusion II. de Freyci-
net said: "The Government make a direct
appeal to the confidence Of the Chamber. In
this the ministers are unanimous" Notwith-
standing N. de Freycinet's appeal, the Chamber,
by vote Of $50 to 75, rejected the credit de-
manded by the Government. After the vote
the Ministers went to the EIysce and rendered
their designations to President Grevy. He re-
quested them to continue to transact the bust
ness of their Offices, pending the appointment
of their successors.
BRITISH TROOPS BADLY SCARED.
4 dispatch from Alexandria says: "A scare
took place last evening. There is a clump of

guarded by a company Of the SiNtieth rifles
Men were duly posted there last evening and
cautioned by Mai. Gen. Alison as to the necessity
of maintaining absolute steadincss, and were
ordered in the event Of an attack in force TO
fall back in order on 4 barricaded house by the
side OF the canal. These instructions were
apparently fully understood and the General
left satisfied. About two o'clock in the morn

They had approached very rapidly and unob-

their advance they Charged the clump of trees

On Wednesday in the Senate Mr.. Platt, from
t.e Pensions Committee, reported, and asked
consideration of, an original bill to amend see
ton 1902, title 81, of the Revised Statutes, and
for other purposes. He explained that the bill
was to meet q case where the widow of PEN
sioncr, after his death, draws the pension in
violation Of the law, without revealing the fact
of the death. The purpose was to make the
chiIdren's pension date from the time at which
the widow ceases to draw the pension; that is,
from the time of discovery, when payment is
stopped, provided she has in the meantime sup
ported the children. The bill made another
change in the law by providing that notorious
and adultcrous cohabition by a widow shall
terminate the pension. With these exceptions
the existing statute was substantially re-en-
acted. In reply 10 an inquiry by Mr.. Davis,
OF West Va, Mr.. Platt added that the bill did
not entail any additional expenditure for PEN
sions. The bill was passed. The river and
harbor appropriation bill was passed over the
Presidents veto.
The remainder of the session was devoted to
the consideration Of the sundry civil agpropria-
ton bill, to which large number OF amend
ments were offered.
