The Castroville Quill thinks Gov
ernor Roberts will be candidate for
tbe senate and that the railroad inhu-
onoo will back him. To oar thinking
Covernor Roberts is too shrewd to LET
the people OF Texas suppose he IS
obamnioned by the railroad magnates
ond their money. He had as well
haveamilI.stone tied around his neck,
politically speaking. But the Quill
asks the people:
Have they realized how nicely the
sbrewd old governor has played into
tho hands of the railroads; how he
has dispIa3ed Coke in the affections Of
these "soulless corporations" Have
they noticed how slow he Is TO prose
cute tbe scores of roads that have de-
fiad tbe laws of our state, and whose
charters could have been wrested
from them? Have they compared the
fi0ures denoting what the railroad
nTonerty in Texas amounts to and the
figures of the assessed value OF tnese
gsme roads? The difference amounts
to millions of.dollars. Why this thus
ness2 II will all come out when the
nert senator is elected, and II Will be
seen that the railroads constitute the
"nower behind the throne" AND 1t
,T;II he seen that the plow handle
will reap his reward Marh
this prediction.

Uncle Danfs Houston Age suggests
that Governor Roberts should be re-
elected, so he may supervise the build
ing of The new state house and see
that none of the money spent thereon
is squandered. 1t so happens that the
state dees not pay out dollar OF cash
for the state house. The contractors
take Iand-3 100000 acres. Tie priu-
ciple. however, is the same. But If
the governor is to retain office until
the capitol is finished he will have to
he reelected three more times, max
ing five terms in all, as the contractors
have five years in which to complete
the state house. One trembles at the
thought that Governor Roberts might
die before the capitol is built, for, ac-
cording to the Age, the alcalde is the
only man in the state who Is cOmPe-
tent TO supervise the work.

PAGAN PHILOSOPHY.

Whatever we may say of the views
of Col. Robert Ingersoll on religion.
there is no denying that he is bubbling
over with fine sentiment, and has the
gift OF uttering tender and graceful
thoughts, such as is youchsafed to few.
We haYe heretofore alluded to his ad-
dress, in q Washington City cemetery
Sunday before last, over the open
grave of a little child. Some of the
sentences are as eloquent as those used
by Dickens. in his description OF the
death of Little Nell, or Montague in
his address From Nature ITO Man"
We quote few, for the benefit of
those who may not have seen the ad-
dress:
"Why should We fear that which will come
to all that Is We cannot tell, we do not
know. which is the greater blcssing--lifc or
death. We cannot say that life is not good.
We DO not know whether the grave the end
of this life or the door Of another, or whether
the night here is not somewhere else dawn.
Neither can we tell which is the more fortu-
nate--the child dying in its mothers arms be-
fore It's lips have learned to form Il word, or he
who Journeys all the length of life's uneven
road. painfully taking the last slow steps with
stan and crutch.
EVERY cradle asks us Whence and every
cofan .whitherr The poor barbarian weeping
over his dead can answer these questions as
l....l
uric-t of the most authentic creed. The tear
ful ignorance OF the one Is just as consoling as
the learned and unmcanug words Of the other.
No man, standing where the horizon Of life
has touched j grave, has any right to prophcsy
a failure iiuel with pain and tears 1t may be
that death gives all there Is Of worth to life.
II those we press and strain against our hearts
could never die, perhaps that love would
withcr from the earth. May be this common
fate treads from out the paths between our
hearts the weeds of selhshnes5 and hate, and
had rather live and love where death is king,
than have eternal life whore love is not.
Another life Is nauEht, unless we know and
love again the ones who love Us here.
They who stand with breaking heart around
this little grave need have no fear. The larger
and the nobler faith in all that is and is to DO
tells us that death, even at Its worst Is only
perfect rest. We know that through the com
mon wants of life--the needs and duties of
each hour-their grief will lessen day by day,
until at last this grave viii be to them a place
of rest and peace almost Of JOY. There is for
them this consolation; The dead do not
suffer. If they live again their lives viii
surely be as good as ours. We have no fear.
We are the children Of the same mother, and
the same fate awaits us. We, too, have our
religion, and it is this: Help for the living
Hope for the dead"
There are gloomier words than
these uttered over the dead, and one
can believe that Ingersoll, as he grows
older, is developing aspirations that
do not leave all hopeless blank be-
yond the realm of the grave. His
may be that of pagan,
but it fairly challenges attention.

The Washington Monument.

Progress Of the Work-The Signal Office Station
The white, tall, plain shaft of the
Washington monument is foot by foot
daily rising skyward, and its compile
ton, in due course of time, is nos as
sured, says the Washington Post. It is
already a landmark visible from any
part of Washington. and the inhabi-
tants, after a generation of ridicule, are
beginning to be proud Of it. Apart
from its unique character. as an archi-
teetural wonder, modern science pro-
poses to utilize it for the public benefit.
The signal office expects to have a per-
manent station at its summit, and its
officers say hat observations of the air
and atmospheric movements taken at
an altitude of $50 feet will be of great
value. Observations are taken, O fcourse,
at far greater attitudes than this, but
the gradual slope of even the most
precipitous mountains and the presence
of large masses of rock neal the obser-
vatOry create surface currents, even on
mountain heights, and interfere with
the study of phenomena of the higher
levels of the atmosphere. 1t has often
been proposed to institute a series of
experiments by means of captive bal
looms, but the expense of such work
prevented the plans being carried out.
At the time of the centennial it was
proposed to erect a skeleton tower to
the height of 1000 feet in Paramount
park. Had this been done tho signal
officers would have utilized the observ-
atory for the benefit Of meteorological
science, but the tower stopped at 800
feet. The signal officers say it would
not be impracticable to build q tower
1000 feet high or eve higher, and that
the erection Of such q tower would be
of great service. The monument is now
290 feet high. The original design con-
templated a height of 500 feet, but at
a meeting of the commissioners two
years ago, when it was decided to re-
sumo work, it was voted to make the
monument the Hottest artificial struct-
ure in the world. The commissioners
examined the heights of all the noted
monuments, towers, pagodas. spires,
buildings, and f~iag-poles, and found
that to safely distance all rivalry a
height of $50 feet would be necessary.
1t was therefore determined to complete
the shafts on this plan, and the draw
ings were modified to that end. What
was the surprise and qualification of the
commissioners o find subsequently that
the new proportions of the shaft as now
adopted were exactly those Of an Egyp-
tan obelisk.
