THIS is to be year of great events;
a president is to be elected, and one
or the other of the great political par
ties of the country must triumph in a
struggle, IN which the Democratic
party contends for popular rights.
The surplus in the federal treasury
demands disposition, while the tariff
question must be definitely fixed as d
most important issue in the federal
contest. National banking claims es-
pecial attention, while the river and
harbor improvement system must be
definitely adjusted to suit the require
ments of sections. The duties of army
and navy officers must be better regu-
lated, and public land laws must be
amended and the domain looked after.
The pension rolls huge dimensions
should be cut down, civil service
looked after and monopolies regu-
lated. Here are questions for the fed.
eral Congress, while in Texas we are
confronted with as big, it not big
ger, question than all of them-the
settlement of great disturbing move
ment. involving the peace and dignity
and the properly values of the entire
state. Let us see how near federal
and state legislatures may come to
meeting requirements in great public
emergencies.

THE New York Cremation Society

The New York Cremation Society
has an active membership of 200, and
the interest in its objects is so strong
in the metropolis that a company has
been formed for the purpose of build
a crematory there as business ven
ture. Ground is to be secured in one
of the highest parts of the island, and
the establishment is to be fitted up in
the most perfect style on the grounds
beautifled by every device of the land
scape gardeners art. Familiarity with
the idea of burning the bodies of the
dead is said to have popularized it to
a considerable degree. and it is not
improbable that the practice may be-
come far more common. The ire
quent revelations regarding grave
dissertations have a tendency to recon-
Gle people to the cremation plan.

The Way They Did II.
lWashingt m ] rec Press. !

Col. Wintersmith, doorkeeper OF
the House Of Representatives. has
made his appointment of the officers
in his department for the Lone Star
state, which comprises two appoint
mentS, one at 1920 and one at $1,000
per snnum. These two minor places
are all that are left for distribution
and the Texas gentlemen clamoring
for places, clamor they ever so loudly
aud persistently, must accept them or
nothing. In view Of the fact that the
Texas deleg ttion endorsed the candi-
dacY of Wintersrnith, carpet-bagger,
to the ps,i ldice. of the claims of such
represent at We men and old residents
as Gen. A. J. Dorm, ex-stlte treasurer
and others, the treatment of Texas by
"Col. Jim" in the distribution OF Off
cial patronage is regarded as shabby
in the extreme. 1t Is safe to assume
that this "scion of Kentucky" will
never again receive the endorsement
of the members from Texas for any
place in the Congress of the United
States.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-01-17

THE governors propositions regard.
ing the herding or management of
live stock, taken as whole, go beyond
what it seems such requirements
should be ia country like Texas.
After few years such propositions
might safely be embodied into
law, while az this time they
might prove destructive TO high
10 valuable interests. Legisla-
tion against free grass is what
is demanded, and the least revolution
AIRY methods by which this may be
absolutely secured should be made to
constitute what some may be pleased
to denominato herd law. A law
must be IN the nature Of positive
corrective of existing evils, while
there should be an avoidance of all
that is sweepingly harsh and oppres-
sive. The governors suggestions as
to the fencing of lands and the pro-
lection o. land owners against fence
ing should be adopted. as should also
his propositions to make fence-cut-
ting and presumptious fencing Of
lenses against tbs peace of society.
Penalties therefore cannot be made
too harsh, for these evils are the out
growth of a defiantly lawless senti-
ment.

THE merchantile failures of 1883 in
the United States greatly exceeded
those Of 1882, the footings being $172,-
S74, 172 against S1O1, 1864. In like
manner the ratio OF increase in fail
ures was much greater than in 1882.
the latter year showing an increase in
liabilities in round numbers over those
Of 1881 of 100000, while the liabil-
tiles of 1888 were 100000 greater
than in 1882. Taking 1881 as Il basis
Of comparisons, the failures analyze
into striking contrasts. The failures
of New England in 1888 were about
PAL per cent grea' er in aggregate liza
bilities than in 1881; tht middle states
show an increase of 70 per cent, the
western states an increase of 200 per
cent, the Pacific states and territories
an increase of nearly 20 per cent.
This analysis points out with remark
able clearness the respective regions
of prosperity and embarrassment, the
regions of financial storm and regions
of calm. 1t is most favorable pre-
sentation for the South.

The Danger of Kissing.

4 eonSumptive young man in Read
iIg, Pa, is at deaths door, and two
girls to whom he had successfully en-
gagged himself, have already passed
through. The doctors say that both
took consumption from inhaling his
breath, as neither of them inherited
the disease. This is a sad and terrible
thought. There must be an awful
deal Of kissing done in regular Read
ing courtship to produce such de-
cided results. But the case suggests
dangers which are terrible to con-
template. If kissing Is a
method of communicating and
taking disease. who will dare to
engage in the operation of respondent
in the case? 1t will interpose numer-
Gus barriers to that sweet, enhancing
art which may have decidedly de-
terrent effect. Suppose young man,
moved to imprint soulful kiss on the
lips of beaul iful girl, were abruptly
checked in the height of his ardor by a
sudden exclamation like this: Hold,
sir. Are you quite sure that your
lungs are entirely free from tubercu-
lar disease? Have you a physicians
certificate of recent date, showing that
you are perfectly Tree from any and
every disorder that might posi-
bly, be communicated by touch or
breath? Did any of your ances-
tors die OF consumption Did you
ever court consumptive grip"
Then if you are fortunately able to
answer all these heterogeneous in
the affirmative, she may ex-
claim: Eyes, my dear, able bodied,
quite hygienic and perfectly pulmo-
nary lover, we will now proceed to
perform the osculatory act at your
pleasure. The probabilities are that
he will have recovered from all wish
to kiss the beauteous being long be-

THE losses by fire in the United
States and Canada, during the past
year, have exceeded S1OO,OOO0OO, and
of this the insurance Ecompanies have
had to shoulder in the United States
alone about 100000. Many of the
companies have lost money, but the
majority have held their own, and
some few have made a considerable
profit. The tariff of rates on many
classes of risks was considerably adj
vanced about the beginning Of the
past year, and stricter inspection
and closer adherence to the rules for
writing policies was required of
agents.
