ton probably within one week Mr.. Morri-
son stated that the report submitted by Mr..
kasson was not 3 unanimous report of the

The App0Ttionment Bill.
The indications point very clearly to the
rejection of the pending appor'ionment Dill
in the House in its present shape. The dem
ocrats are generally against it, and many OF
the republicans are openly opposing it. Rep
reeentative Blackburn says it is an unjust
measure; that it ignores the rapidly growing
western states, and gives the increase in rep
resentatives to the eastern states that are de-
clning in POPULATION. He says 1t will be re-

The distribution Of the unappropriafed
moneys OF the Geneva award is before the
Senate in the shape of bill reported
from the Committee on the Judiciary. IN
which majority recommend that there be
paid out Of the moneys received from
Great Britain the losses of citizens OF the
United States whose ships were destroyed.
and the losses Of their officers and crews.
by what are known as the ''eIculpated
cruisers.'' and nothing else.
When the bin was reported to the Sen
ate, Mr.. Hale gave notice that he should
offer an amendment to the bill, embrac-
ing what the Committee on the Judiciary
of the House in this Congress have already
agreed upon. Mr.. Hale's amendment
covers not only the "exculpated cruisers"
and war premium claims, but the two per
cent extra interest claims. The old bill
for distribution only covered four per cent
interest while the government received
six. 1t is manifestly but fair therefore
that the government should pay six per
cent. The money is in the treasury, as 1t
was paid by Great Britain, and there is
enough to pay full and fair compensation
to those to whom 1t belongs.
Mr.. Hale's constituents have an impor-
tant interest in this matter and will thank
him for his care and watchfulness in their
behalf. The government has been tardy
in doing them justice for their losses dur
ing the war. II looks now. however. as
though the matter would be settled and
the moneys paid over. The claims Of
the insurance companies appear to have
but little support. That they should have
any at all is surprising. They lined their
Golfers with the war premiums which the
owners of vessels paid them. exacting
rates high enough to make them secure
against all possible depredations Of Con-
federate or British cruisers. and their ap-
pearance "a claimants in the Geneva
award distribution is most monstrous
display of cupidity and check"

Geo. Pfeuffer For State Senator.

1t is time the people of this distr let were
looking around for successor to MIR.
Burgess. We suggest that the Hon. Geo:
Pfeuffer unites in remark able degree all
the qualities which fit man for that place.
He has been all his life an ardent and con-
sistent democrat He is man of marked
ability-of a very thorough acquaintance
with public affairs. A German by birth
he has, after the manner of that people,
been close student, has acquired liberal
education and both reads and writes Ger
man and English, freely and with elegance.
Pfeuffers success as one of the directors OF
the State A. g. NJ College, shows his COM
manding influence among men, and his ster.
ling qualities as business man. He will
we know be acceptable to the people of the
district, feeling assured if elected, he will
make us senator of whom the district will
be proud. Should Judge Pfeuffer receive
the nomination, our county having the gov
ernor and appellate judge, might, and we
are sure would, concede the representatives
of Hays and Caldwell. -Seguin Times.

Ireland's Views.

The following synopsis of the views OF
the Democratic candidate for Governor as
given to the Galveston News before his nom :
ination. will be read with fresh interest now
Ireland's views briefly stated are The
public free school system should be faith
fully carried out; the state university
should be organized and put in operation
as soon as possible the pard nj 6
power should not be abused; no
more revenue should be collected than is
necessary to carry on the government
equality should be established between the
railways and the people and justice should
be done both; the judiciary system is radi-
cally defective and should be remodeled
the frontier people should be protected the
new capital should be pushed forward to
completion; the present land system is pre-
posterous folly, if any public land is left, it
should be preserved for educating the youth
of the country the criminal laws should be
rigidly enforced and convicts kept within
the penitentiary walls the state should pur-
chase no bonds,at 81, 40 premium.

San Antonio EXiles.

NtU iuNuulo 6Ah'ss
One OF the pecu,iarities Of San Antonio
is that she has bo,n the home, or rathe
refuge Of many noted and strange charac
ters. Her cosmopolitan character, fine eli
mate, and remoteness from the great centeri
Of population, seem TO have invited thu
footsteps Of the world.weary. Some OF
these people have sought refuge or EN-
ployment in the wild regions beyond, mak'
ing the city their headquarters. We have
in our mind az present only two or three
OF these characters.
/. Ladislaus Ujhazy who was IN off,
Ger of rank under Kossuth in the Hunga-
rian revolution Of 1913. He came with his
chief. or about the sumo time, to the Unit
ed States, and as was stated in the public
prints at the time settled with number OF
his countrymen in or near San Antonio,
! probably in the cattle business, q business
with which Hungarians are Familiarity ac-
auainted. We have no distinct recollection
as to what became of him. Perhaps our
San Antonio contemporaries of the press can
tell.
2. Our next IL the French socialistic
philosopher, Victor Considerant. After the
death of Fourier, of whom he was disciple,
he became the leader of the socialists, and
continued to advocate their doctrines with
great energy and ability. He was finally
driven into exile, and came to San An
tonic where he organized a communi-
ty on his plan, that was successful for a
time, but afterwards disbanded He re-
turned to France and again returned to Tex
as for time A writer in Scribner's Month
ly. in an article descriptive of San Antonio,
refers to him as follows:
On the river road from San Antonio to
Conception stands the comfortable country
house SO long occupied by Victor Consid-
Grant, the French free thinker and socialist. |
Considerant, after his Intellectual attempt to
found community of the Fourier type in
Texas, lived TRANQUILITY with his family near
the old mission for many years, going to
San Antonio now and then for society and |
his leisure with literary work. A
strange man, strongly fixed in his beliefs
and prejudices, he was not Thoroughly under
stood, but was universally respected by the
Texans who met hing.
g. Our last is Rev. w. H. H. Murray,
heretofore an eloquent Congregational min
ster, author and sporting man. He is more
generally known as Adirondack" Muir
ray, SO called from a book he wrote on
the Adirondack mountains of his ma
i've New England. After preaching for
some time he was called to Park street,
Boston, where he was for years very pop
llar minister He afterwards preached a
year or two in Music Hall in the same city.
In 1876 he started the Golden Rule, =" a re-
,eligious newspaper. Among his published
works is one ON the horse. In 1891 he
Visited, Texas looking over the State for col
onizing purposes For year or two or
more he has resided near San Antonio or vi
Unity, we believe on O ranch. He occa-
'ionally appears as a public lecturer, and
seems now to lean towards the spiritual
philosophy. His career has been somewhat
similar to Rev. Kalloch, of San Francisco.

for the author of the Morey letter, has

The antipathy which Maine Demo-

The July Atlantic will contain an
article entitled "The Political Econo-
my of Seventy-three Million Dollars"
which is likely to be read with lively
interest. 1t is by the writer who told
the Story ola Great Monopoly, that

months ago; and may be thought to
be not entirely unconnected with Jay
Gould's financial exploits.
The only States IN which the Repub-

New York and Pennsylvania.
Judge Tourgee's new story, "Hot
Plowshares,"' which will begin in Our
Continent in July, opeus fifteen years
before the war, sketches the progress
of the a~nti-slavery movement to its
elimination in the John Brown raid
and makes that eveot, and the war
which followed it, the background OF
a domestic story.
The Charleston News and Courier
is very much delighted with the indie
pendent Republican movement in
Pennsylvania, and observes that the
opponents Of boss rule everywhere
will sympathize with it; but it makes

AS the majority of the farmers still
wash their sheep, many wool buyers
probably take advantage Of those who
do not wash and dock the unwashed
wool more than is just. If all the farm
ers would shear their sheep without
washing it is probable that the buyers
would soon come to adopt a just and
uniform practice in docking for the
dirt in the wool.
