se.- Richie Democrat.
No, the reason he is opposed to
Prohibition is generally of more
personal character perhaps be-
cause he likes the thing to be pro-
hibited or the votes or money it
has to give.
A report was circulated the first
Of the week that an Ohio man was
coming to Clifton to open saloon
to sell-mineral water. He has
been warned to come not.-Radical.
That's right. "Resist the Devil
and he will flee from you," and if
you resist him in time, he won't
come at you.
BEHAVE YoURsELvEs.-The Rad
zeal, Clifton, Mason county, says:
"a few evenings ago a married
woman of this place made an at
tempt to commit suicide. She had
rope around her neck and was
choking herself almost to strangu-
lation, when discovered by her
husband, whose timely appearance
saved the woman from a sinful act.
Family troubles is said to have
been the cause"
We do wish people would be-
have themselves, quit quarrelling
and tying ropes around their
necks and such as that. There's
lots O room for happiness in this
world if we only behave ourselves
Governor Click, of Kansas, says
that Prohibition in that State has
entirely failed to accomplish what
was claimed for it, and that in
stead of decreasing, it has aggra-
waited the evils of drunkenness and
crime.-E1change.
That's very Anticipated. 1t is
most wonderful how anxious the
liquor fellows are to get at some
thing that will remove drunken
ness from the land. But Prohibi-
tion doesn't seem to please them at
all. They want something practical,
they do?
The Prohibitionists miss Judge
Furguson as a leader this year in
getting their measure before the
people. They are going to be out
generated Eagle
We were not "out-generaled," in
the House, but basely betrayed in
the Senate.
Fully two-thirds of the members
who voted for the Amendment are
personally opposed to it. But hun
dreds of men who are opposed to it
are in favor of giving the people
the right to vote upon the ques-
tor. Wetzel Democrat
Wrong at the start but right on
the "home stretch. We are sure
large majority of those voting for
submission heartily favor the
Amendment. But it is very true
and will prove overwhelmingly true
that many who do not favor it on
its merits, have lively apprecia-
ton of their rights at the ballot
box.
In conclusion we say that we are
in favor of prohibition, that is to
say, any measures that will bring
it about, but what, the future will
tell. Huntington Nea0s.
That's distressingly indefinite
and obviously latitudinous.

At the Residence of Mayor Smith Friday
Nsht--An Elegant Mansion.
The ladies Of the Christian church
gave Il mite party at the elegant new
residence of Hon. j. p. Smith Friday
night The party was largely attended
and was success in every particular
many having gone as much TO get u
glance at the inside of the pa
latial residence Of our mayor
as for any other cause
The new residence is indeed well wor-
thy visit, and is in every sense a
model home. IL is grand and impos-
ing when viewed from the outside,
but really luxuriant and magnificent
when examined on the inside. Every
thing is perfect. The stairways, ban
listers, and arched doorways OF dried
ash, deliberately carved, the MANTLE
pieces, center-tables and washstands of
glowing MARBLE the elevated and ele-
gantly corniced ceilings, the luXu-
RANT, costly and tasteful furniture,
combine to make the grand residence
an ideal home. There is not II doubt
that it is the finest private residence
in Texas. Every thing has been COM
pletely finished regardless of cost.
Every room in the immense mansion
is finished with marble center tables
and wash stands, and Brussels carpet
on the floors. Elegance abounds but
taste predominates throughout the en-
tire mansion. 1t is an ornament to
the city and credit to the fine taste
and enterprise of its owner, Col.

In the days of early Methodism in
Northern Ohio, preacher had been
appointed to new circuit, and wore on
his first round fashionable broadcloth

Gently provided for him. This became
a source of grievance to the home-spun
laity, and it was finally resolved to
make it q matter of discipline. So at tho
first quarterly conference charges were
prepared iii due form, and the Offend
ing minister notified to be present and
make answer. Entering the room where
the presiding elder and lesser magnates
were assembled, the preacher stripped
off his coat, hung it on the back of q
chair, and pointing to it, said: "Since
it is the coat that offends, try it. Could
1 reach any sountler gospel in robes or
cassock? 1t seems to me that it is not
the manner of the coat, but the manner
of man in the coat, that should be con-
sidered." And there the trial ended

star Route.

NEW YORK, June l5.-Some of the
comments of morning papers on tho
star route verdict are most unique and
unexpected as the verdict itself is tn tba
average reader.
Inc Sun says: "We believe star route
detendents have been ably prosecuted
and fairly tried. We have more than
once pointed out, however, that the C -, g
against them involved great difficulties
OF proof which much render it a task ex-
traordinary for skill and labor to estab
llsh their guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
That task has simply proved to be an
impossible achievement"
The Herald, which yesterday said:
That such man as Vesgen is not fit
to be on a jury that goes without say
ing" today says: at is not proper when
they have rendered their verdict to at
tack their character or qualifications.
There Is no reasons to believe anv iurv-
man improperly approached or influenced,
or IS 1t allowable to say that the verdict
contradlcts evidence. The jury is the
final judge of both"
The Star, Kelly's organ, says: s"The
Star route has ended, as was expected,
IN an acquittal of the accused. The
charge of conspiracy was not sustained:
but that there was conspiracy between
those men is generally believed; to prove
its existence beyond reasonable doubt,
years after it was supposed to have been
entered into was very difficult matter.
The World, quoting General Sher-
mans utterances yesterday, said: THAT
Dorsey was 4 splendid Sc ator and
Brady hardworking, active man; both
seemed to me to be honorable men ard
what they did in matters pertaining to
the mail routes for which they have been
tried was in line of promoting the pop
ulation and the development of vast ad-
ditions." After this Sherman ought to
be retired from the jury, and it should
be known in history as a jim jam Jury.
The Tribune and the Times bitterly de-
nounce the outcome of long trial. The
latter paper having heard of threats of
prosecution for libel by Brady and Dor
sey's lawyers if it continued its warfare,
declares the Times does not acquise in
the verdict, will continue its course, and
should it be unsatisfactory to Thomas
]. Brady, Stephen W. Dorsey or any
other star route thief, and they choose
to vindicate themselves in libel suits.
the Times will welcome an opportunity
to do the Republican party and the
country the greatest service which it is
capable of doing by proving in court
they are thieves and that it has told the
.A.-'s.ssz calling :ihem such The Times
also says: ...rhe verdict viii comforat
those who think.it ne sin to steal from
the Treasury of the United States. The
honest people of the nation are sur
prised. and its result was unexpected.
Its grievous disappointment is fresh
revelation of the power of wealthy and
uuscrupulous gradu ates of the school of
practical politicians when confronted
in the courts at Washington by proofs
OF their villiany.'
