The Tyler Democrat says
really there are but two forces
contending for political mastery
in this state and in all our coun-
ty governments. One of these
forces is made up, as has been
the case ever since the close of
the civil war of the best ele-
ments OF society-all those in
terested in the real welfare and
prosperity of the county. The
other force is composed mainly
of a chronic set Of ofice-seek-
ers, intent upon their own inter-
ests and backed by class upon
whose ignorance they depend
as their only hope for prefer
ment. In this the Democrat is
right, now the question is which
class will govern. A majority
of the people are in favor of a
good government and if they
act in harmony they can get it.
How they are to do this is a
matter that rests in a great
measure with themselves.

THR Houston Post, referring
to the matter of packed politial
conventions, acknowledges its
inability to suggest any remedy
that may be used as in the way
of a substitute, saying it can
see no antidote for the evil ex-
cept in the cultivation of indi-
vidual intelligence and indepen-
dencc that will enable the voter
to refuse to be handled as a
packing material. A large por-
ton of the press of the state
has been laboring towards the
end suggested, but as yet the
managers of the machine are the
shrewdest manipulators, and if a
man in a convention gets up a
"squeal" he is sat down upon
and incontinently squelched.
Time seems to be the only
available remedy.

Houston has lately complet-
ed, at considerable expense, a
new and handsomejail, so hand
some indeed that Houston was
really proud of her jail, it, like
the Galveston jail being one of
the finest buildings in town.
Four prisoners escaped out of
this beautiful cage the other
day and now the Houston Post
takes the county authorities to
task for not having the Jail prop
erly guarded.

SOME idea of the magnitude
of the business done in cotton
futures may be formed from the
fact that last week the sales of
futures in New York amounted
to 635, 900 bales; it was rather a
dull week for such transactions.
1t will be seen that nine weeks
sales are sufficient to cover an
average seasons crop, and that
the entire sales of futures for the
year amount to from six to ten
crops. If the purchase and sale
of something that does not ex-
isit is not gambling, it has to
the uninitiated all the outward
appearances oft.

Scientific Miscellany,

DIR. VIM. A. Hammond finds
overheated apartments to be a
potent cause Of nervous irrita-
bility. If we would preserve
our amiability and our tran
guilty Of mind we should live
in wcll-ventilated rooms kept at
a temperature of about sixty
FIVE degrees.
OF the sense of taste, Prof.
McKendrick states that the
base of the tongue is most
sensitive to bittcrs, and the tip
to sweets. a substance must
be soluble in the fluid of the
mouth to create taste, but no
definite relation has been found
between the chemical condi-
ton of bodies and their taste.
Modern improvements have
increased the power of the
microscope so greatly that it is
now made to magnify about
one million diameters. The
best unaided human vision
can see no objects much
smaller than the three hun
dredth of an inch in dame
ter, but the most skillful micro
scopists, with their best instru-
ments, are able to examine
mouads a hundred-thousandth
ofan inch in diameter, Beyond
this minuteness is obscurity.
1t has been estimated that the
ultimate particles or atoms CON-
posing all matter can be no
more than one twenty millionth
of an inch in diameter, so that
Lit seems hardly probable that

The Galveston Civilian says
that gambling can not be sup
pressed in Galveston, and that
therefore, the evil could best be
controlled by licensing a limi-
ted number of gambling houses,
under proper restrictions and
placing them under the control
of the police and county auth
critics. By this means the evil
would be controlled and at the
same time made to pay a rev.
enue the same as other bust
nesses. 1t is difficult to re-
move the prejudice against
gambling, as a legitimate bust
ness-that is by licensing it, but
the indications are that a prac-
tical view of gambling will at
last prevail.

a permaiIS.m inouS crown

In researches upon the petro-
leums of the Caucasus, M.
Schutzenberger has observed
that, although conducted with
the utmost care, his analysis
frequently showed more than
one hundred per cent. of mat
ter. Like result was obtained
with two other substances. Fol-
lowing up the investigation, he
has found that sodium and
copper appear to SO affect GER
tain products as to produce the
anomaly observed; while if the
articles so affected are exposed
for short time to sunlight,
they give normal analysis. 1t
is suggested, as possible ex-
PLANTATION, that the weight of
atoms may vary within certain
narrow limits, and that in the
case of the hydrocarbons it
may modified by the action
of TIL sodiug or by light. If

German measurements give
the following as among the
greatest daily quantities Of rain
fall recorded in Europe: At
Colbeng, Sept. 2, 1880, four
inches of rain fell in seven
hours. AT Breslan, August 6,
1858, four and a half inches fell.
At Klausthal, in the Harz, the
daily maximum observed is four
and half inches; and at Hoe
henschwand, in the Black For
set, it is five inches.

state Bonds.

The purchase of $500, 900 Of
state bonds by treasury Lub-
book at SI.4o has caused con-
siderable comment by the press;
taxes have been collected from
the people and an enormous
cash balance was accumulated
in the state treasury. The cash
balance proved to be a white
elephant, and to get rid Of a
portion of it, $4,000 in state
bonds have been purchased at
the rate of SI.4o, or, in other
words, $4,000 have been paid
to liquidate 100000 of indebt-
edness. The same bonds were,
a few Yearsago, sold in the New
York market at S. cents, which
was all they would bring; now
add the discount to the pre-
MUM and we find that the
100000 netted the state but
$4,000, and she now pays
for that sum $500, 900, or S22o, :
900 in the shape of discount and
premium, to say nothing of the
interest that has been paid.
The owners Of the bonds know
that they have good invest
ment, but it certainly seems
that SI.4o for a 2 per cent. bond
is rather a fancy price, as the
investor in bonds at that
rate gets only FIVE. per
cent. for his money. and it
may well be doubted whether
any private individual would
pay such an outside figure for
bonds, simply as an investment
and not for the purpose ofspecu-
lation. There existed no legal
obligation for taking up these
bonds before maturity, and the
fnanciering that justifes the
payment of such an outside
figure can hardly be justified
on correct business principles
1t may afford the adherents Of
the pay as you go" system
and the present state admins
tration satisfaction to herald to
the world that the credit
of the state of Texas has
reached such an attitude that
her bonds sell for 81 40, but il
is very costly to the taxpayers,
No good has been accomplish
ed and no one has been benefit
ted except the parties who
bought the bonds at IS and
sold them at SI.4o.

WHEN the prohibition con-
vention is held at Waco on the
goth of April it is very likely
that a plan for the campaign
will be formulated. In Ohio
the prohibitionists have had a
state ticket at every election
for a number of years, but they
have never polled over 5000 or
5000 votes. Suppose they try
their strength by putting pro-
hibition state ticket in the field
at the coming election in this
state.

far as it is concerned as a news
paper; seems to be non-commit-
ted as to Governor Roberts,
burit says "a very large ma1ori-

tigate the accounts for eXpendi-

had work done in his private
residence and had it charged
to and paid by the government.

numerous and the details as
published in the St. Louis Re-
publican occupy seven long
columns of small tppe.
