The commencement sermon on Sunday
at the Methodist. church by Rev. Mr.. Chap
pell, was in the main an excellent effort.
Our only objection was his reference to
certain military leaders and agents of despot-
ism, such as Won Moltke, and Bismarck in
Europe, as Christians. We regard the idea
as fearful delusion on their part, and on
the part of all others who so regard them.

We were pleased to welcome Mrs.

Her health, which was very bad when

A prominent Texas Republican, who
was present at the Inauguration, de-
clares to The City Item that President
Cleveland is bigger and broader man

he has been accounted even by his

his manner and methods during the
ceremonies impressed all beholders
with conviction of his rare mental
equipoise.

railroad communication with the world,

Of wagon travel, as at present. 1t is

of the present extension 10 to be able
to unload the spring shipment Of cattle

fences in this (Wilbarger) county; so
when the road reaches it, the cattle
will be taken OF the cara in the midst
OF free grass.

small areas Of land are constantly be-

Congress has voted an additional ap-
preparation OF e35O.O for the Worlds
Exposition. and the chances are now
favorable for it to be continued three
or four months longer next winter.
Tho provisions in the bill granting
additional aid to the Exposition, that
creditors outside of Louisiana shall be
paid first before paying debts due to
parties in tLis State, intimates pretty
plainly that Congress does not place
over much confidence in the man
agement.
Yielding to the universal demand,
the Exposition managers are now pub
fishing the daily receipts at tho gates.
The figures are . disappointment to
the friends of the enterprise, averag-
ing only about $4,000 dag. and shows
that the attendance, including dead
heads, ranges from eight to nine thou
sand persons per day.

Grant were railroaded through and
issued to the Texas Pacific company by

RELATING To WOMEN.
Difference to Women.

Difference to Women.
Difference to women is one OF the most
CONSPICUOUS attributes of the natural gen
tleman. And when man can regard
with Indifference or satisfaction a wOm-
an drawing wagon upon which heI
husband reclines, or hitched with a
donkey to cart, as is so often seen
among the European peaSantTy, or doing
any manner of work ike this, that man
has become vicious element in Ameri-
can society.
That such spectacles are comparative
ly rare in this country as vet, is an
agreeable reflection, but they are not
so rare that a protest is uncalled for.
