During the last session of the
legislature j law was passed giving each
town and city in the state, having
N organized fire department. one half Of
the amount Of taxes paid by the insur.
ance companies in that town Or city.
The amount is to be spent in improving
the fire department. Austin has forward
ed . statement to the capitol showing
that it has an organized fire department.
The old law gives the state one per cen t.
on all fire insurance premiums paid with
in its limits. and the new law gives each
regularly organized and reported fire
department one-half of whatever revenue
the state derives IN this way from its
locality. .~,S Il, .~. -,s >4<.
"A fifteen year old lad in Austin, who
had always complained more or less of
headache. and who had always been
afflicted with what was supposed to be
catarrh, had quite strange experience
last week. He went to blow his nose.
when out popped the end of rubber
nipple-that which is used on a nursing
bottle. The piece was about an inch
in length. The lad, when baby, had
either swallowed it, and it worked its
way from the throat into the head, or
had been crowded into the nostrils by
the baby fingers, and there remained all
these IA or Is years. The boy says he
feels as though there was a big hole in
his head-room for his brains to rattle
around. We should certainly think he
would realize wonderful relief.
We have a word for the home keep
ers Of Austin. Do you ever invite the
young men of your acquaintance to your
homes? Christian business men, do you
ever invite to your homes those in your
employ, or those in your neighber's en-
ploy? Pastors. do you ever take the
young men of your acquaintance. strang-
crs comparatively. perhaps. in the city,
by the hand, and say, Come home with
me, young friend; lam interested in you
care for you; know you are away from
father and mother. from, brother and sis
tiers; know you have none, save bust
! ness or street acquaintance, IN the city
come and take tea with me, and let US be
friends?" Do the pastors Of our churches
do this? De the wives and mothers OF
our comfortable homes ever think that
perhaps there are young men IN Austin,
who, if shown just few of these com.
mon courtesies of a civilized Christian so
ciety. might be saved from ruined lives?
Let US, this coming winter, think on some
of these things.

"Mr. Cleveland is q man OF extraordi-

Undoubtedly. But taking everything
into account the verdict of the public Ia
that the mistakes are very email, and In
almos every instance other people are
responsible for them. They were worked
out with mathematical exactness from
false promises furnished by other
people.
Mr.. Cleveland has introduced one very
simple thing In the politics OF this
country, viz: that the truth should be
told In recommendations. He has held
the people who have lied TO him In this
respect up TO public scorn. The ap.
pointments that have been made during
the past Ave months have been worked
out like Euclidlan problems. They have
not been made on the spur OF the

dozed through Congress during the
closing hours of the last session. The
act Of Congress authorized but did moi
direct him TO pay over this money, and
as an honest and economical publlc ser
want he refused TO do 30. His reasons
for this action as given In his letter II
the steamship owners were cOmprehen'
siye. conclusive and just. This should
not be lost sight OF. The steamship
companies, and chief among them the
Pacific Mail Company-which has fol
years alternately coaxed and threatened
iayors out Of Congress-angered at the
stand taken by Mr., Villas, have refused
TO carry the malls and declare that they
will continue TO do 10 unless he re
verses his decision not to pay over Ia
them the 100000. Az temporary ar
rangement the Postmaster General has
offered to pay them nearly three hun
dred per cent, more than they have been
receiving In the past for carrying the
malls, and to refer the subsidy question
10 the next Congress.
For years these steamship companies
have received more for carrying the
malls than for any other class OF freight
These companies seem TO have entered
into q league TO force the Postmaster
General 10 pay over to them sum Of
money 10 which they have no title
whatever. II passed by the corrupt votes
Of members and was put In shape to
throw the responsibility upon the Post
