in the Nation, to the exclusion of every other
question, are too scarce to be counted. Those
who talk Of Mr.. Blaine's ''dodging" simply adj
vertise their chagrin because the Republican
candidate showed himself to be broad enough
statesman to apprehend and honor the posi-
ton in which the national Republican party
had placed him. Mr. Blaine showed himself
a statesman and manly man by his course
as to the prohibition amendment in Maine
and his speech in explanation of it.

The fast carD-and for that matter cars at
all hours of the day and night--on the Massa-
chusetts-avenue line of street railway, at
least, are an offense to decency. Particularly
the last car is an abominable, reel1ing, filthy
bar-room on wheels, which should be aban-
doned 10 the ''hogs" and swaggerers and row
dies who are permitted without let OF him
drance, to befoul it and to render it unfit for
any decent man to ride in, much less women,
who are frequently compelled to use it. But
the cars at all hours Of the day and night are
made noxious by those who will not stop smok-
ing even while they are riding, and blow the
smoke and stencil of their vile cigars into ev-
side, they are on the front platform, whence
the smoke drifts through the car, or they
hang upon the steps so that passengers can
neither enter nor alight with comfort This
matter has been repeatedly brought to the at
tention of the street car management, through
the press and personally, but not the slightest
attention is paid to it; on the contrary, some
of these white-capped officials are leaders in
the outrage upon the prophecies and decen-
cies of common life. If we had Council that
was not afraid, or cared for the interest Of the
people, these disgusting practices would not
be permitted to last a single day. AS the
street cars are now conducted they are dis
grace to the company that affects to manage
them, shame to the authorities of the city,
who could, if they would, inaugurate re-
FORM and an outrage upon the people So far
as the Journal is concerned, it proposes to
wage war until something is done.

NEVER, perhaps, was the story of desertion

children, and until few weeks ago she and her
husband lived in peace. He then stunned her
by proposing to her to be divorced, bluntly and
brutally saying that he loved certain Mrs
Quine, married woman, and that he could not
live without her. In a short time he announced
his intention of leaving for Chicago, and de-
clared that Mrs Quine was going with him.
ALTHOUGH felt my very heart breaking Y

PALESTINE.
Gone to Their Graves.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
PALESTINE, March 6.-Anether of
the landmarks of Anderson county
went to his last resting place to-day
when III. A. Delesfine was carried to
his grave in the old Palestine ceme-
terry. He had lived here since 1910,
and was, in his day, quite promi-
nent and successful merchant, and
was widely known throughout the
state. All the patriarchs of Ander-
son county were at the funeral, which
Was one of the largest that has been
here for many day.
VIM. Sadlier, resident Of Elkart,
and one of the veterans yf San Jacinto
was buried day or two ago from his
quiet farm, without anyone but his
family and intimate friends knowing
of his demise. He had asked to be
laid in his grave without any ceremo-
NAL, having curing the fading years
of his life declined having anything
to do with public demonstrations in
connection with his fellow soldiers,
claiming such demonstrations were
uncalled for and useless. He was 86
years of age, and connected with near
ly all the prominent families in this
section of the state.
Judge Powers, whose recollections
go back into the shadowy days of
Texas history, says that VIM. Sadlier
was member of the Texas legisla-
ture just after annexation, and per-
haps a member of the Texan congress
before that time.

weather Injuries the corn in farmers
hands. and renders it unfit for use,
but heretofore warm weather has gen.
orally improved the condition of corn
in the ear. Yet, Oh the whole, corn
shows more strength than wheat,
and some leading operators
doubt if in the future it follows the
decline of wheat as closely. The ship
ping demand for low grades contin-
ues good, and the market is well
cleaned up each day.
Crittenden q Harvey say tonight:
I'VE regard the market now as more
largely oversold than at any time
since November last and we believe
the parties who are carrying the ma
jority of the long interests, are buy
ing all the way down, and are able to
stay. Corn looks to US a safe pur-
chase, aud is liable any day to take
the lead in an upward movement"
Mccormick, Kenneth & Day, say
We think corn will sell SOC. below
wheat in May, and advise buying
wheat and selling corn at present
difference of about 40c.
Provisions are strong. 1t is true
that stocks at the last posting showed
a slight increase, but the present sup
ply, when compared with that of last
year, shows a large decrease al
around. The market, however, does
not act as if there was large short
interest out in speculative way, yet
cash product is strongly held, while
packers talk of high prices, and appear
to be supporting their opinions quit
literally.

A Horrible Affair.

A gentleman from Bastrop county
who was in the city yesterday fur
Dished a STATESMAN representative
with the particulars of one of the
saddest accidents that has come under
notice for long time. A gentle
man by the name of James Arm
strong left Matagorda county several
days ago with prairie schooner"
or kibitka, to emigrate to one of the
western counties of the state. He
had in his kibitka his wife
and four children whom he was
taking with him to his new
home. In Bastrop county they were
obliged to ford the Colorado river in
order to continue their journey Mr..
Armstrong inquired about the ford
and gained such information as best
he could, and then drove into the
stream. When in mid current he got
of the track and drove into hole in
the river where the water was deep.
In an instant the kibitka, the team,
NJ Armstrong, his wife and four
children were sinking in twenty feet
of water. The kibitka sunk just far
enough so that all the persons were
confined beneath the canvass and
could not extricate themselves. The
six persons and the team were drown
ed before aid could reach them,
though persons standing on the shore
saw the horrible catastrophe without
beng able to furnish any assistance
whatever
