in wanting the country to be occupied

actual settlement" This is the flimsiest
kind of masquerading They might
"contend" through frec-grass methods
until doomsday and the effect Of their
efforts would be directly the reverse of
actual settlement. \ few strong men
would rule the range with rod of iron
and grow rich at the expense OF the
State. Does not this Clipper know that

The Clipper continues that the free
grass advocates task that the school
lands be sold to actual settlers and that
these large pasture syndicates be not

if not allowed to lease, those "large pas

done il was dcnominated incendiaryism.
This was one of the main causes that
brough. about what was known as the
chester war; The results of all this
was almost the abandonment of the I'M
occupied lands to the cattlemcn. \ re-
turn to this state of affairs is what the
free-grass advocates are cOnteEding ior
now. Everybody knows the cattle sYn-
dicates do not want actual settlers to &C
cupy these lands, and hence they are all
free-grass men. The hare-faced hypocrisy
of those who assert that free grass will
induce immigration is too plain to de-
ceive any one. The lease law will stand
with a higher rental affixed to the
lands, the country will settle up more
rapidly than ever before with honest,
industrious farmers, and West Texas
will soon be as thirkly populated ms is
Northern Texas to-day.

THE Democracy of Dallas county have,
from all appearances, declared in ;hcir
precinct meetings in favor of d. o. TER
REI.L for the Senate. This action is not
the result ofany opposition to MIR. NASH,
but because the people think that Kauf
man county is entitled to name the Sen
ator, ana that she has named a well quail
fled man. Kaufman county asked TO be
put in the district with Dallas county,
and has twice conceded the Senator to
this county, and has always been friendly
to Dallas county, commercially and po-
litically. Mr.. TERRELL has made a 20, d
impression on our people, but political

Judges as Jurymen.

1t has often been said that if a jury
were to consist of Judges they never
would agree. This has been proved in
the case OF Mr.. Belt. Not only did the
three Judges differ as to the verdict, but
they also fell out as to the artistic talents
of Sir Frederick Leighton. Lord Cole
ridge, as l understood his judgment, laid
down that if artists say that two statues
or pictures were not executed by the same
man, all evidence Of non-experts to show
that they saw one man do both should be
set aside. Agreeing with him in the main
that Mr.. Belt is more of a sculpture
broker than Of a sculptor, this dictum
seems to be hazardous. Every now and
then a picture is discovered and is
ascrIbed by some artist to a particular
painter, while others conclusively prove
that this particular individual did not
paint it. Here, then, we have the evil
dence of experts cOntradicted by experts.
There are hundreds of well known pic
lures in the world whose authorship is a
matter Of controversy.

The fact has been several times stated
in these letters that American women do
not take kindly to silk underwear. Much
was written and said about it on its first
appearance some years ago, and one
might have imagined that every other
woman had possessed herself Immediately
of complete stock of pink, blue and ecTu
silk undergarments, tied with ribbons
and trimmed with valencieRnes lace. AS
a matter of fact, the sales at the general
dry goods stores frequented by the great
majority were so limited that they ceased
to keep silk underwear in stock, and even
in some Of the best houses it is only sup
piled to order. The reason for this appar-
ent lack of appreciation of luxury in
which French women delight is less the
cOst-though of course this would limit
the sale--than the lack of good laundry
service, and the almost universal preju-
dice in favor of something that Will
''wash''-that is to say, in favor Of some
thing that can be washed by an unskilled
hand without being quite ruined. 1t is
true that the soft silks of which under
wear is made can be renovated as easily as
cotton, and look more like ''neW" than
any washed cotton, if we'll done; but the
water must be of the proper temperature.
the chemical factors rightly introduced,
and the heat carefully tested, as well as

the necessity for such exactness the ordi-

to understand. Men are better of in this
respect as in most others. The expert
laundresS devOtes herself to their belong
ings and receives higher rates than ter
