BISHOP II. H.3 KAvANAulu Of the
Methodist church South died at Col
umbus, Mississippi, on the 18th uIt
aged SO years. He was sixty years III
the ministry, thirty years bishop
He learned the printing business
when u youth and did editorial work
in after life. We find the following
anecdote related of linn in a sketch OF
his life in the Ccuier-Journal
Like many OF the great bishops,
his work began among the eolored
people, and it was seldom he was al
lowed TO preach before q white au-
dience It is said that once while
helping in q meeting, the preacher
in charge was asked to dinner; but
MIR Kavanaugh would have had none
save for a coiored woman who was
one Of the hundred thousand and
more Of negro members that
the Southern Methodists hadprior to
1861. When, at a later day, he
preached in that church as Bishop,
and Il dozen people offered him car
riGges and dinner, he said: "Thank
you, but I see yonder ut the back of
the church the good colored sister
who was the only one TO give me an
invitation when I was here before,
and L am going home with her now.
And he did.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. March 20, 1901.
Conclusions reached by Congress
during the week have not been in
proportion to the amount of eloquence
expended. The Senate gave some
attention to cattle Affections, pension
claims, and the salaries of District
Judges. The House passed some
private measures, special deficiency
bill, and the Post Office appropria-
ton, but whisky has been the chief
basis of contention this week in the
lower branch of Congress, and Natio-
nal aid to public schools has furnished
the principal element of disturbance
in the higher. At the Capitol the
prediction is, that the bonded extern
sion bill will not pass the House and
that the Blair Educational bill will be
defeated in the Senate. Committee
deliberations indicate that Indian
schools are to be..well supported, that
the lifetime of patents is not to be
limited to five years, that postal
telegraphy is to be inaugurated, and
that adulterated importations of food
and drink are to be prohibited by
proclamation OF the President.
:4 ~. The Military Academy Appropria-
ton bill, the first of the fourteen
general appropriation bills, has gotten
out of Congress gone to the Presid-
ent, and will become o law. The
Naval, and Post Office Appropriation
bills having been acted on sby the
House, have both gene to the
Senate. Three others have been
reported to the House from commit
tees, namely; the Indian, Pension,
and Agricultural appropriations, but
between the whisky and Tariff bills
there is but little chance for progress
in the House with appropriation bills
during the coming week.
The friends of the bill for furnish
ing Federal aid to establish and
maintain common schools in the more
illiterate States, have difficulty in
keeping it before the Senate. Efforts
have been repeatedly made to dis
place it for other measures. With.
in the ten years contemplated by
the bill for extending aid, the
education Of practically two genera
tons would be secured, for the
majority of children get in five
years whatever school education
they get at all. The Republicans
oppose the bill on sectional grounds,
their platforms commit them
to the central idea of the measure.
Senator Plumb made an argument
in favor of each State making
provision for educating it's own chill
dren, saying, Massachusetts,, New
York, and Connecticut did not
need the money. Last week the
Senator from Kansas heard that
some of the cattle in few counties
Of his own State had been taken
sick. Thereupon he prepared a
ioint resolution asking $4,000,
rom the National Treasury for the
treatment of the COWS, and prayed |
the Senate's immediate attention to
,he matter. That body voted for
the relief of the Kansas cattle,
granting $4,000 instead of the
amount first requested, but Mr..
Plumb did not detect the sectional
SIN of his demand until it was COM
nented upon by other Senators.

and minors at that, are found 10 fro
auent saloons. No doubt the same
state Of facts exists at Kyle, or at any
rate is liable and almost certain to
transpire.
We regret exceedingly TO see the
young men who have charge OF the
Kyle News thus attempting TO block
tho wheels Of moral and social reform
and progress by making themselves
the champions OF the whiskey inter
est, so destructive, to all the best in
terests OF their and our town and
county. Assuming the influential
position OF conductors OF newspa-
per, and one that should 30 honor
able, they ought to be ashamed Of
themselves. And besides they will
find, as we have, the whiskey interest
and its following the very poorest
patrons of the newspaper press
Finally, where would the doctrine
of the Kyle paper directly lead to ?
If saloons and whiskey drinking are
essential to the prosperity Of town,
why not those kindred institutions,
gambling houses and houses of pros
titution alsoi In fact, in San Anton
10, Dallas, Fort Worth and SINH
lar places, the argument is also made
to embrace these popular institutions.
II is contended by some of the people
OF these places that it is bad policy
as regards their material prosperity,
to exclude them, just as the Kyle
News argues that the exclusion of the
liquor traffic from San Marcos would
cause it to resemble ga country grave
yard They ask, what will become
of their cities if they run out their
gamblers, pimps and prostitutes,
just our Kyle contemporary asks what
will become of our town if we run
out our saloon men" And they urge
the same plea of the News, that these
things as well as saloons, must needs
be, and that it will be found impossi-
bic to enforce any laws for their sup
preston And San Antonio ct MS is
consistent in this, for the argument
is quite as good in one case as the
other.
The truth is, however, it is the
merest sophistry, while most damn
ing in it's tendency. We trust the
moral sentiment of our peop.e will
soon be 50 awakened as to put an
eternal quietus on such pestilent
in this county. Local
option will be voted upon here as
soon as possible after the next meet
of Commissioners Court. We trust
it will carry, and that, encouraged by
our example, Kyle will follow suit
Then we shall be willing to trust an
aroused and intelligent public senti-
ment to find means for the enforce
ment of the law.
