NEW YORK, August 22.-The Times
says: The British Consul General has
had several lengthy private conferences
with Inspector Byrnes within the past
few days. The Inspector refused to
talk about the conferences, but those
who pretend to know say the subject
discussed between the Inspector and the
British diplomatist has reference to af-
fording protection to Lord Coleridge, the
eminent English Judge, now on his way
to visit this country. Threats have been
made against the life of the Judge by
members Of the dynamite faction of the
Irish party in this country, on account
of his connection with the trial OF the
murderers OF Burke and Lord Cavendish,
and detectives will therefore be detailed
to protect him during his stay in this
city.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, AUG. IT,
The city is on the verge of a water
famine. Cisterns are drained, gar
dens are dried up and the effect of
the drouth is plain to behold in the
poverty..of the vegetable market for
a week past. Many persons have
been depending on the liberality of
their neighbors for water enough to
drink, having exhausted their sup
plies; now the most of those who
were well provided at the beginning
of the dry season are almost CON-
pletely without supply. The indi-
cation of extreme want with which
some persons are driven is found in
a notice posted in front of one of
the best restaurants in the city,
"Closed Until it Rains" A slight
rain has fallen but not enough TO
change the situation.

immigration.


The Financial Chronicle gives o
very definite idea of the progress the
United States have made in popula-
ton during the past fifty years, and
from its figures We may predict some
thing of the future. In 1880, fifty
years ago, we may say that our popu-
lation was 12,8OO,000. During the
next decade the increase was nearly
33 per cent, of which the native in
crease was % per cent, so that in
1910 the census found that we had
'17,000,0 900. Between 1910 and 1850
the increase was 35 per cent, of
which we got one-fourth by imnigra-
ton. In the 81 years between
1880 and 1867 our population had
nearly doubled. In 1860 the census
tables show we had 81, 100000 inhab-
itants, the increase still being IS per
cent, and immigration furnishing
nearly one-third of the increase.
The census of 1870 was defective
and the figures are unreliable. In
1880 we had SO, 152,OOO. The aver
age increased by immigration was
one-fourth of our entire gain. Since
that time the movement from abroad
has been much more brisk, for the
annual average of such accessions
during that decade was only $50, 900,
while since 1880. it has been about
685, 900 per annum. Ii there be no
check In this movement we will have
gained by 1890 about 1000, 900 from
abroad, which added to our native
stock will give us in that year pop
ulation of 100000. Our popula-
ton to-day is more than four times
what it was so years ago! We are
leaving all the old countries far be-
hind. Now then how long will it be
before we too viii have become like
s'the old countries ?"

The number of inventions that
have been made during the past fifty
years is unprecedented in the history
of the world. Inventions of benefit
to the human race have been made
in all ages since man was created; but
looking back for half hundred
years, how many more are crowded
into the past fifty than any other fifty
since recorded history! The perfec-
ton of the locomotive, and the now
world traversing steamship, the tele-
graph, the telephone, the audiphone,
the sewing machine, the photograph,
chromo-lithographic printing, the
elevator for hotels and many-storied
buildings, the cotton gin and the
spinning jenny, the reaper and NOW
er, the steam thresher, the steam fire
engine, the improved process for
making steel, the application Of
chloroform and ether to destroy SEN
sibility in painful surgery cases, and
SO on through long catalogue. Nor
are we yet done in the field of inven-
ton and discovery. OF verify this
is the age of invention, nor has the
world reached stopping place YET.

For hate is death; and love is life;

Shreveport Standard
We are an old fogy. That is our
character in Texas. And, strange
to say, We are proud of it. We are
proud of it, because we believe that
the old fogy ideas we entertain and
cherish are correct.
The sensationalism of the metro
politan press in which character and
the happiness of families are treated
as mere matters to crafty prurient
and morbid taste, and sent forth
broad cast, over all the land, is es-
pecially repugnant to us.
The great city papers that have a
variety ofreaders have to publish
or they suppose they have-prize
fights, chicken fights, scandals, etc.;
but what excuse is there for the
country press to do SO 2 How many
readers are there among us that
such matter will please? There was
scandal published in the Standard
eight or ten days ago--an attempted
rape case-which would not have
appeared had We been the proprietor
and editor of this paper.
Let US initiate the enterprise, as
far as our means will allow, of the
metropolitan press, but avoid its
vices, and especially that great vice,
the most pernicious of all, that is
direct assault upon society.

Living to Purpose.
nmbus GA Enauirer.l


orable ambition and supreme desire
to be and do something in life. tits
better to aspire and fail than to have
no aspirations at all There are far
fewer who, having q laudable ambi-
ton, fail to make their mark than of
those who drift through existence
aimlessly, with no definite purpose in
view. There are persons who de-
vote half their lives in trying to solve
the problem of their existence and
the other half in longing for some
friendly hand or propitious circum-
stance to give them q shove in the
right direction. Much has been said
and written of wasted lives and neg
lected opportunities, and yet the sub
ject is by no means threadbare. It
is one of those accommodating mat
ters that will admit of cline upon
line and precept upon precept" To
live to purpose-high and noble pur-
pose-is an ambition worthy of all
men and women too. How to work
out destiny SO that it may inure to
our own and the well being of others
is one of the most profitable themes
of contemplation. Men like the stars
move in different spheres and orbits,
and to keep in place is highly impor-
tant. Fidelity to duty and station
will enable any individual to become
honored and useful. Should one of
the small and comparatively insignif-
can't heavenly bodies attemptto usurp
the place of one of the brilliant
planets, it would doubtless suffer for
its pains and become the ridieule of
its associate twinklers.
So with individuals. They often
miss the accomplishment of any
grand aim because of a failure to APP
prehend the plane on WHICH they are
best fitted to move and shine. It is
not necessary to an honored and USE
full life that one should be president,
or senator, or Judge, or minister
plenipotentiary. A man might be
either of these and yet possess no
extraordinary intellectual or moral
weight. Yet if he adorns the place
by eminent fitness for it, he will GER
tainly command the respect of his
fellows, and make the best of his OPP
portunities. A constable might be a
better and more useful man than a
king; so we see that place and power
are not always attended by the char
acteristics and principles which en-
title humanity to love and respect
To make the best of the position in
which one is placed, whether that
position be high or low, is the secret of
wise living. A clown and preacher
may be the very antipodes of charac-
ter and calling, and yet man may
be honorable and useful In either.
The palpable fault with most of us is
that we fail to make the best of our
opportunities and aspire to conditions
for which we are not fitted. An i'm
portant thing to be remembered is
that character is everything, and that
without the foundation of a good
character to build upon all efforts to
inspire the confidence of others in our
capacity for honorable distinction
will become painfully abortive.
