Levels Way Everywhere.

A correspondent of the San Fran
cisco CAL says: Matamoras is at pres.
ent excited over the elopement of
Lieutenant Colonel Ehlers of the
Fourth Infantay, stationed in this city.
He is a dashing, middle.aged officer,
born in Mexico, but Of German parent
age. He is of good presence, plays the
guitar and sings Spanish love songs
with rich baritone voice. Directly
opposite the officers quarters, at
Happy Jacks place, on Calle de Bravo,
lives, or rather lived Senorita Refigia
Caranya, a tall, pale, but rather pretty
girl, of poor but of very respectable
parentage. TIE Colonel had sung
many love songs and exchanged many
burning glances with his pretty
neighbor, and filtration ripened into
leve and an elopement was planned.
A few evenings ago carriage drew up
in front of house about half a block
below the residence of the pair, and to
lull suspicion, the gallant colonel got
out his guitar and sat out on his bal.
cony singing. Under the cover of this
diversion, the young lady slipped ont
OF the house and down the street into
the covered hack. As soon at her re-
treat was effected the colonel closed his
sercnade, with which he had charmed
the old folks into oblivion, slipped
down the back way and also entered
the hack, which drove away, and soon
the happy pair were in safety in
Brownsville, on this side of the river,
where the law of angry relatives
could not reach them.

WAITING FOR MOTHER.

The old man sits in his easy chair,
Slumbering the moments away,
Dreaming dream that is all his own,
On this gladstone, peaceful day.
His children have gathered from far and near,
HE childreus children beside
And merry voices are echoing through
The - Homes cad p" hall so wide
But far away in the years long flown
Grandfather lives again;
And his heart forgets that 1t ever knew
A shadow of grief and pain, .s..,
For be sees his wife ~ he saw her then
A matron comeiy and far,
With her children gathered around his board,
And never vacant chair.
Oh! happy this dream of the "Auld Lang
Syne." .=s=zs :
or the years long slipped awayi
And the old mans lips have gathered smile,
And his heart grows young and gay.
From his daughters lips 80 true;
Dinner Is ready, and father dear,
We are only waiting for you.'
The old man wakes at his daughters call
And he looks at the table near
"There's one of US missing, my child" he
I'VE will wait till mother Is here"
There are tears in the eyes Of his children
As they gaze on an empty chair;
For many lonely year has passed
Since Mother :" sat with hem there.
But the old man pleads still wistfully:
I'VE must wait for mother, you know!"
And they let him rest in his old armchair
T II the sun at last sinks low;
Then, leaving smie for the children here,
lie turns from the earth away,
And has gone to mother" beyond the skies,
With the close of the quiet day.

About Lotteries.
Shreveport Standard

Shreveport Standard
The lottery question is destined to
occupy a prominent place aud at.
tract an unusual degree of public
attention in the political fight to
come off in this State next April
The Louisiana Lottery Company, of
course, will move heaven and earth
to secure a majority of the Legisla-
ture who are solid for it it, and OPP
posed to granting of any additional
lottery charters. Nothing is more
natural than for this company to
want a monopoly of the business
On the other hand, Simmons, Han
dy & Co., and other 81 indicates in
New Orleans who are extremely
anxious to have finger in the pie
sTill, We are told, labor zealously to
secure the election of a legislature
that will grant them charters to set
up more lotteries. The Louisiana
lottery men will argue that their
concern is a fixture, made so by the
constitution, and that however much
the people may be opposed to ehe
institution, they can not get rid of
it if they would-that one evil does
not Justify the creation of another
and that the multiplication of lotter-
les would strike a disastrous blow
at the public morals. The others
will reply, that the only way to
break up monopoly, and at the same
time augment the charity fund, will
be to grant more charters. And so
they will have it. Both sides have
plenty of money which they will
distribute where it will do the most
good. The country parishes will be
invaded and an attempt made to
control, especially the nominations
for the legislature in the interest of
one or the other. 1t behooves the
people to look well to the character
of the representatives they send TO
Baton Rouge next year, and before
the election, TO ascertain how all the
candidates stand on the lottery
question.

The Denver News says the govern.

4uo OoufoI NEWS says the govern
ment is troubled at present by an
embarrassment of riches. It has al
most $4OO, 900, 900 OF gold, silver and
treasury notes in its cash box, and
the daily increase is swelling the
amount very fast.
What disposition shall be made of
the surplus, is question of consider
able moment just now. The balance
held in the treasury is between one
fourth and one-third of all the money
in the country and it is feared that if
the balance is allowed to grow much
larger, financial stringency will follow
to the great detriment of business in
all parts of the country.
Avast amount of cash will be need
ed shortly to move the crops. If tits
not forthcoming, interest will adj
vance, credit win become strained
and prices viii decline.
The only possible way of getting
the excessive surplus now in the
treasury into circulation is by the
purchase of redeemable bonds. It is
said that the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry will soon issue call for SIS, 0OO,-
900 of 81 per cents. This is a move
in the right direction, but it is strong
ly opposed by the banks, partly be-
cause it viii have tendency to ease
the money market and SO lessen the
rate OF discount on loans, and partly
because they do not relish the idea
OF giving up good securities which
must in many instances be replaced
by others commanding higher
premium.
1t would be better for the country
if the income of the government
were smaller, but the last Congress
shamefully neglected to consider the
public interests in this matter. No
reduction in taxation worth mention
ing was made and the yearly receipts
OF the treasury are nearly SITS, OOO,-
600 in excess of the needs of the gov
eminent It is to be hoped that at
its next session Congress viii do bet
ter.

The Tariff.

There are some general PROPOSE
tons with regard to the tariff ques-
ton, so plain they need but be mem
toned to carry conviction. No argu-
ment or reasoning is necessary, be-
cause of their self-evident character.
The bounty to the manufacturer, paid
through the operations of protective
tariff comes from the consumer. If
the price of manufactured goods Is
not enhanced above q normal rate. no
bounty can follow. The consumer is
the larger class, else the manufacturer
could not exist. The tariff laws, then,
put fictitious value upon goods, and
the larger class of our people are by
these laws forced to pay this fictitious
value to the smaller, but favored
class. 1t is not necessary to go into
an argument as to the good results of
special ''infant' industries. Every
good result to them is at the price
of an injustice to somebody. There
is not benefited" industry in this
country, the operations of which are
not governed by this proposition
The law is Interchangeable and infexi-
BILE. No benefit can be conferred
without a corresponding burden, in
kind. The system Of drawing from
one mans pocket even a penny with
out proper equivalent to place it in
the pocket of another who has not
earned it, is unfair and vicious. Yet
this is exactly what the protective
tariff does The nursing of classes,
the granting of special privileges, is
the worst sort of tyranny, and is in
direct antagonism to the very spirit
of this government, as well as to its
constitution.

The first real test of the Edmunds
law against polygamy in Utah will
occur on August 9th, when county
officers, sherifs and members of the
Legislature viii be chosen in each of
the "a counties of the territory. The
commissioners appointed by virtue of
the Edmunds law have just completed
the selection of judges of election to
receive aad canvass the votes on that
occasion. The act provides that no
person guilty of polygamous prac-
tees shall be permitted to either vote
or hold Office, and the commissioners
have construed this provision SO as to
disfranchise any such person who has
ever lived with more than one wife at
the same time.
This bars out all the prominent
men of the Mormon church, as they
all have plural wives, but it does not
necessarily follow that the political
control OF the territory will be turned
over to the Gentle minority. A very
large majority of the Mormons are
monogamists in practice, whatever
they may be in theory and it is more
than probable these viii control the
elections in every county in the terri
tory. Should this prove true the
polygamy problem viii be as far from
settlement after the coming election
as before it.
The struggle promises to be most
and its outcome viii be
watched for with keen interest.

Cor. Memphis Appeal
The average mob is composed of
the best citizens in the country
Composed of men DESTROYS of seeing
the guilty punished, and who, seeing
the almost impossibility of punish
ment by law, and knowing that con.
tinnances, changes of venue, and
especially mere technicalities will
always clear the defendant, if he has
any money. Knowing all this the
would be law abiding citizen is CON-
PEELED to take the law in his own
hands for the protection of family
and self. Law was instituted for
the protection of the innocent and
punishment of the guilty; but now
a reasonable fee will clear a criminal
of any degree of murder, larceny
or rape. You know how it is done.
Ii not dismissed on demurrer by the
judge or acquitted by the jury an
appeal to the Supreme Court will do
the work, and the man turned loose
upon the people to continue his
crime, having the legal protection of
the courts. In view of all this, and
this is not an overdrawn picture.
what is left the people but lynch
lawS We know this is a frightful
remedy, but when a black demon
commits the crime of rape upon
some relative whom you feel bound
to protect, or ruffian in cold blood
sees fit to shoot your kindred down,
and you know if you undertake to
have him punished by the law there
will be those who will come in and
use every device known to man to
clear him, and you know it can and
will be done if he has money sufi-

be done but resort to mob violence 2

is likely to give heat and some severe
local storms where these were expert
enced last year. Hail should be
guarded against in Western sections.
I think the fore portion of this month
will be characterized by widespread
heat. First change to cooler weather
after the 10th, when a very decided
relapse to cool weather may take
place, with even snow-falls in noun

The Republicans have peculia,
method Of answering the demand Of
the people for reform and honesty in
the government of public affairs
When the demand becomes very EN-.
phatic they manage to turn out one
set of thieves and let in another set,
varying the monotony of the pecula-
ting operations by a change in the
character Of the raids on the Govern
ment. First the army was made to
suffer-then the internal revenue
department was advanced upon with
skill and effect, then the postal SER
vice was made TO yield its thousands
to the trusted members of the party,
and the history of these affairs shows
that not only underlings but Presi-
dents as wen sanctioned these pro-
ceedings and profted by them. A
President rewarded the instruments
that elected him by the theft of the
electoral vote Of States smother bar-
tered the Supreme Court for cam
paign funds with which to buy votes
for himself. And when these facts
appear it is not surprising that their
tools should want to feather their
nests after the same dishonest man
ner. The only surprising feature
about the whole matter is that the
people win permit the party to OUT
rage honesty and decency SO openly
year after year, when it is in their
power to prevent ii. Sometime, per-
haps, they will conclude that a change
desirable.
