WASH JoSRs has heretofore received
some support from the Groenbackers
and the votes of some otherwise good
Democrats, but he is likely to get cold
shoulder from those elements. They
say he Is fawning too much upon the
colored brother This great political
apostle by trying TO perform too many
different feats at the same time is about
to get busted, They say 1t is arch dem
ngoguery for WASH JONES to promise TO
build a university at Austin for tho col
orod people, when the whites OF Texas,
with ten times greater population, can't
furnish one-hflh enough students for
their university. A great deal of the
support heretofore received by WASH
was nom the Taxpayers, who say they

The "oldest inhabitant" never saw
such weather. The temperature has not
touched the freezing point for nearly
two weeks. The little fall Of snow that
came week ago has disappeared, and
the ice on the bay and lake is becoming
spongy. AS we write all our office doors
are open, coal fires have been permitted
to go out, and the "spring fever" has in
vaded our sanctum. We do not remem-
ber any moment in our time when we
could endure 40 much rest as now, all
owing to the warm weather. 1t is just
like the splendid month Of May.

Must be Kept Warm.

Thursday afternoon the new fire para
phernalia was taken out for the purpose
Of having drill, but the discovery was
soon made that about 600 feet Of hose was
frozen. The engine also had ice in her
and was in no condition to do service. It
soon became apparent that constant
fire must be kept in the engine house If
anything was to be expected Of the ma
chinery during the winter. At a con-
ference Thursday evening it was decid-
ed to give grand ball Christmas eve for
the benefit Of the fire department, the
proceeds to be devoted to the purchase
Of coal and stove for the engine house.
Arrangements will probably be made
with the managers of the roller rink for
the use Of their building, and the citi-
zens generally should encourage the
movement by purchasing tickets, which
will be on sale at once.
