Trouble Enough for One Man.

There was a stranger from down the river
hunting along the wharve3 yesterday in
search OF the Office of a certain steamboat
line, and by and by he came across a man
who replied:
@Why, sir. that line went out of existence
last fall
IAN gone, ehl"
eyes, sir. No boats-no ofice-no moth
ing"
"Well, chats a mean trick to play on a
man, and don't care who hears me say so.
I'm fisherman from down below"
II see."
LAST fall one of the boats of that line
backed into my skiff and smashed it to
pieces and drowned my old woman"
"TOo bad"
- GU bet it wasl They were very anxious
70 settle AMI was offered free pass over
the line for life or S26 in cash. The old
woman was worth MORN that, but / didn't
want lawsuit AMI so l took the pass I
thought it would be kind o. nice to sail I'D
and down the river whenever wanted to
and have nobody demanding tickets"
well, on are left
'Sure's you're borni Left on good skiff-
left on wife who'd catch more bass than
any two men in Detroit-left on a pass from
Detroit to Maiden, good for life, strangern
Yes, sir"
please move on and get out of this, for
I'm going to tie down the safety valve and
knock somebody into the middle of next

His informant skipped out and as he
looked over his shoulder he saw the holder
OF the pass climbing into a coal yard to lick
three drivers. Louis Critic.

why are we Honest .

An Arizona editor recently sent postal
cards to all the prominent citizens of the
place, requesting them to give an answer to
the question: why are you an honest
mani" Some of the replies which he pub
fishes are curious. One answers: 1T must
te because of my burned cussedness; 1 al
ways did like to be different from other
people. Another says that he is honest be-
cause he has never held any public office
Another Indignantly ans WerS: What dye
take me fOr-an angelo Another sarcasti-
cally remarks: Il suppose you're a goin' to
start a museum and are lookin fer freaks
Well, count me out; I'm not one" Another,
professional labor agitator, wrote in blood
red ink, on a postal card, ''What are We
givin' us?' The editor OF the opposition
paper volunteered the answer that he scorned
to lay bare the paIpitating handspring of a
noble and honest soul at the eqnest OF a dis
honest reptile and political parasite Chi

AN ORGAN DEFEATED

The Tarrant county convention
after a two days session has elected
an uninstructed delegation to the
Galveston convention. 1t is I'm.
derstood, however, that the dele.
CATION is favorable to Ross. For
months and months the Fort Worth
Gazette has left no stone unturned
to advance the interests of Swain,
and now, after all, its own county
sits down fiat on its candidate.
This is nearly as bad as Red River
River county, SWANS old home,
repudiating him and IDstructing
for Col. DeMorse. 1t is evident
that a newspaper can not "most al
ways every time" mould public
opinion, at lis own home, to its
way of thinking. The Gazette is
by no means the first prominent
newspaper that has been thus dis
appointment and it can take com
fort from the fact that 1t will not
be the last one. 1t now begins to
look as if Swain, Ross and Martin
will develop about equal strength
on the first ballot at the State con-
ventioD, and the further fact will
be apparent that neither one of the
three is the choice of any consid.
erable number of the people. All
three have been so long in the field
that it is not at all surprising, that
unfortunately for them, a respecta-
BILE following is far from sufficient
to secure q nomination. Evidently
the feeling is gaining ground rapid
ly that Texas wants and must have
man for governor of more than
mediocre ability, and moro than
this can not be CLAIMED by the most
ardent admirers ofSwain, Ross and
Martin. Many newspapers and in
dividuals have personal profercn-
ces as between the three, if restrict
ed to them in the choice OF gov
ernor, but when better material is
offered they will choose the best.
So it will be when the convention
meets.

The Galveston News of Sunday

the different candidates for the nom

is considered to be largely In favor
of a dark horse; or, at all events,
not particularly partial to any of
the leading candidates who had
been announced when the conven-

AN OPINION On BoYCoTTING.-
At Milwaukee, Friday, Judge Sloan
delivered an opinion on the motion
TO quash the indictment of Robert
Schidng, State organizer of the X.
of Il. who Is on trial on the charge OF
conspiracy and making threats in
connection with boyootts. Judge
Sloan ruled that since SohIdIng
threatened TO put the vast machi-
merry of the Knights of Labor in
operation TO prevent the public
from patrOnizing the boycottcd, nc
injured the firms income. which
was as much property us machinery
or buildings, and that to attcmp to
dictate TO thcm against their will
whom TO employ or discharge was
parallel offence. All organIza-
tions OF the kind seeking to inter
fcre with the business of maniac
lures or others are not IN accord
ance with law. Said the Judge:
"LaborerS or capitalists may or
ganize for their own protection, but
have no rsght to take tho agrees
sive. In our social and industrial
life and government, the socialist,
the anarchist and tho boycott have
no place"

THE CLIMATE OF GEOLOGICAL TIMES.

The peculiar climate of geologi-
cal times has hitherto been treated
as if it were question of Temporal
turc only. Scientists have sought
the cause Of the remarkable warmth
in arctic regions, but have left I'M
touched other questions of equal
and perhaps greater Importance.
One can hardly contemplate the
climatic conditions of that remote
period without inquiring how there
could be another than great diff
ference of temperature between
the summers and winters of the
lands less than 8 degrees from the
pole; and how could circumstances
-cnvironments-so unlike as the
four or five months of day OF those
regions, and the twelve-hours day
of the tropics, fail to induce great
specific differences in their fauna
and flora. The questions spontan-
cously: Is it possible that the days
and nights in high ATTITUDES were
then as they arc now? Must not
the climate have been warm in
January as well as in July? Must
not the influences of the solar rays
tho actinic force-have been dis
trIbutcd through the year with at
least approximate uniformity in
high as we'll as low ATTITUDES. 1t
is these questions, as well as those
of temperature, that shall consid-
or in this paper. l propose,to study
the record left by the plants and
animals which lived in those re-
mote days. Some of their obvious
teachings are startling enough.
Regions where now vegetation is
of the scantiest character, where
no trees exist save a few dwarf
willows, whoro the winters are
cold almost beyond endurance,
were, as late as tho miocene, COW
cred with magnificent forests of
magnolias, oaks, Expresses, and a
hundred other species. In moro
remote periods they abounded in
plants and animals, whose fellows
of identical species lived at the
same time, or at least in the same
geological period, near the oqua-
tor.-Popular Science Monthly for

hefTletIa lnuepcnucuL-
Some Of the many who penodl-
cally undertake to convey an intel
ligent idea Of the vastness of Tex
as puts in it this way: The dis
lance from Dallam county, in the
Texas Panhandle. to Brownsville,
at the mouth Of the Rio Grande,
IS 500 miles; but we can better re-
alize how far it is by saying thatit
is nearer from Dallam, Texas, to
St. Paul, Mimi, or Bismark, Oak,
or to Halenl, Montana, or to Vel
lowstonc Park in Wyoming, or to
Salt Lake City, Utah, than it is
from Dallam county to Browns
vile, Texas 1t is also nearer
from Brownsville to Gautamala in
Central America, than from
Brownsville to Da'lam county.
Again: 1t is nearer from Lipscomb
county, Texas. to St. Louis; than
from the same county to Calves
ton. And even Chicago and Gin
cinnati are nearer to Texas than
Dallam county is to Brownsville.
1t is farther from Texarkana to
Ell Paso, than from Texarkana to
West Virginia or North Carolina.
Suppose a gentlemen should start
from Savannah, Ga, on the At
lantic to look at a tract of land at
FL Paso; after travelling three days
and nights on a passenger train he
might arrive at Orange, Texas.
OF course, when he puts his foot
on Texas soil, he would begin to
look around to see how he liken
the country, by way of deciding
whether he would buy FL Paso
land or not, but if told he was only
half way from Savannah to FL Pa
SO, he might turn back discour-
aged; but such would be the fact.
Again: Texas wants deep water at
Galveston. But it is nearer from
FL Paso, 1cXas, to the deep har-
Dor of San Diego. Cal. than from
FL Paso to Galveston. In fact,
more than GOO miles of the Pa
ciic coast extending from Los
Angeles, Cal, to Mazatlan, Mexico
is nearer to e. Paso than any part
of the Texas gulf coast.

PRINCIPLES OF THE PARTY


GAINESVILLE Register.
As the present year is a political
one, it may be acceptable to our
readers to sec IN print the prlnci-
pies endorsed by the represents
tivcs of the democratic party in
convention assembled. The nation
al platform is too lengthy for pub
LEGATION IN full and we will state
the pledges OF the party.
1t stands pledged to purify the
administration, restore economy,
revive respect for law, and reduce
taxation to the lowest limit con-
sistcnt, with due regard to the pres.
crvatIon of the faith of the nation.
1t is pledged TO revive the tariff
IN spirit of fairness to all, and dc.
mands that all taxation shall be
exclusively tor public purposes
and shall not exceed the demands
of the government.
The party favors gold and silver
or their representatives, rs the cir.
culating medium OF the country.
The party advocates the selcc.
ton of Federal officers from the
state or territory IN which they are
to exercise authority.
1t opposes sumptuary laws in
any form. 1t favors honest civil
service reform.
1t favOrs all laws tending to pre-,
vent the growth of monopolies and
foster the interests of real laborors.
1t teaches that the public lands
should be reserved for actual set.
icrS.
1t opposes all schemes by which
the general government would be
converted into tax collector
which taxes are to be distributed
over the various states.
Lastly it aflirms the old and pr.
mary distinctive principle of the
party, that the powers of general
government are received from the
states and that it cannot exercise
any power not expressly delegated
by the constitution.

KISSING THE WRONG CoRPsE'' FOR HIS
MOTHER

During the troubles" young
Confederate miss was passing
through one ofthe hospitals, when
it was remarked that prisoner, a
lieutenant, had died that morning.
"Oh, where is he? Let me kiss him
for his motherp' exclaimed the
maiden. The attendant led her
into the adjoining ward, when dis
covering Lieutenant H, of
the Fifth Arkansas, lying fast
asleep on his hospital couch and
thinking to have a little fun, he
pointed him out to the girl. She
sprang forward and, bending over
him said: "Oh you dear lieutenant
let me kiss you for your mother"
What was her surprise when the
awakened corpse" ardently
clasped her in his arms, returned
the salute. and then exclaimed:
"Never mind the old lady, miss;
go it on your own account. 1
haven't the slightest objection, on
the contrary..should like it repeated
by every pretty girl in the Con-
federacy." Oh, who wouldn't be
soldier
