Cardinal Newman at Home.

His eminence Cardinal Newman receives
very few visitors at the oratory now. He is
81 years old, and is growing quite feeble. A
few privileged friends, such as the Duke of
Norfolk, Lord Emily, and some of the "old
boys" from Oxford call when they please
The cardinal rises every morning at 5, and
after concluding his devotions returns to his
room, sweeps out the uncarpeted floor, makes
his own bed and then goes to breakfast, which
he begins with plate of porIidge and Jug
of hot milk, of which he is very fond. He
SLAVES himself every morning, and, like Lord
Macaulay, always manages to cut himself.
The only distinction he has over the other
fathers is that while they have but one room
he has two-a bedroom and library. He has
had for many years faithful Irish servant
named James Cusack of the Handy Andy
school, in whose wit and blunders he takes
great delight. His eminence is at present at
work on Il book which is to be his last.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

STATE LAND POLICY.

If there is any one subject the state
democratic platform is clear upon, 1t is
the land question certainly one of the
most important, if not the most impor-
tant, with which the new administration
will have to deal. There can be no uu-
certain sound about the fifth section of
the platform. The first paragraph dis
tinctly declares for the sale to homestead
and actual settlers, in tracts of reasonable
size, and on long time, lands suitable to
such purposes BIT the settlers must be
bona fde. This has reference, presum-
ably, to agricultural lands.
In the second paragraph we have the
lease system mapped out 1t is that
school, university and asylum lands shall
be classified. and the grazing lands leased
for short terms. and in the case of those
lands suitable to actual settles but that can
be used also for grazing, if leased, the
lease shall be subject to sale at any sub
sequent time.
Then follows another declaration in
vthe same fifth article. 1t Is that free
grazers occupying school lands must get
off the same or pay rent. This portion of
the article is important when it is COM
Puted, that at the present time there are
not less than 100000 acres of these lands
illegally occupied by free grazers, who
pay not one cent of rental to the school
fund to which these lands belong.
1t is further stated the democratic
party pledges itself that the legislature
shall definitely and absolutely fix the
figures at which the school land shall be
leased. This is just what should be done;
since INCREASING of the lease price by the
land board gave Goodnight and other
free grazers, an excuse to forego pay
ment of rental due on vast bodies of the
childrens land.
Then, as if to be more explicit, the plat
form emphatically declares there shall be
such legislation as shall hereafter prevent
the illegal use of these lands.
In fact, the substance and condensed
import of the land Article of the platform
are that free grass must go. The illegal
occupants of school lands must pay or
travel. The cash must come or theiI
fences be torn down. The school fund is
not any more to be swindled or cheated;

ONE OF THE CANDIDATES.

Let the voters of Travis county do a
little thinking for themselves. Let tn.
independent voters turn away for awhile
from those who are squirting them on to
work against their party. Let reason
and calm judgment ascend the throne
and passion and personal prejudice step
down, and then we will see if those who
are working for the success of hybrid
ticket will presevere in their hayward pol
icy! Turn back few months and take
glance at some of those who arrogate to
themselves the power to decide
when the party does right or
wrong. Let us take for in,
stance, the candidates for the legislature.
petition was circulated in the city and
county i'll March last and was numerously
signed requesting Mr.. E. Taylor Moore
to run for the legislature. During tho con-
test in the party at and before the prima
ries many signed the petition opposed
Mr.. Moore. 1t is a question whether this
action was consistent, but grant that it
was, because it was fight in the party,
but now comes the time when the fight in
the party is over and the democratic par
ty is crystallizing its forces to beat the
opposition. If there was an appearance
of inconsistency in those signing the petit
ton to fight Mr.. Moore in the
primaries, what name can be given
to the action of those signers
who are now making a fight against Mr..
Moore, and through him the democratic
party? Take for instance Mr.. Ed. Chris
tian, who signed the petition. How does
he reconcile his action in coming out as
an independent candidate against the
man whom he, as member of the party
selecting Mr.. Moore as candidate, re-
ouested to run for that office? Not only
does he work against Mr.. Moore, but he
goes behind his intention, as inferred
from said petition, of supporting that
gentleman, and retracts, as it were, then
places himself as a self chosen candidate
for the legislature. He is certainly not
acting as a member of the democratic
party. Again it would seem that there is
no reason for him to be sore, as the man
he himself petitioned is the man who has
been selected by his own party. Will
some of Mr.. Christians friends attempt
to reconcile his present course with his
past position?

Chimney Rock. Near NIechanicstown,G Gives
Forth Smoke from Mysterious Flames.
Some excitement was created in Maryland
during the past week by reports that since
the earthquake of Aug. 81 volumes of smoke
had been seen issuing from crevices in the
neigh6orhood of Chimney rock, near Me-
chanicstown, Nd, on the Blue Ridge range.
The summit of Chimney rock IS very diff
icult to reach. 1t is one of the steepest and
widest of the Blue Ridge chain. The sum-
init is l 100 feet above Mechanicstown. and if
Chimney rock should ever turn into q We
suvius that would be the last of the charming
village in which so many Baltimoreans now
find their summer home.
At the height of LOO feet tornado is
reached. After proceeding about fifty yards
along the plateau the progress of the tourist
is blocked by a perpendicular wall of bare
limestone known as table rock This wall
arises from the plateau fully $50 feet on each
side like the ramparts of great fortress. By
perilous climbing the top Of Chimney rock is
reached.
There are many curious fissures in the rock.
These are of an unknown depth From these
assures columns Of smoke havo been seen TO
rise from time to timc within tho last two
years Landlord Miller and many others havo
seen this smoke, and it was plainly Gefnable
from the intense blue smoky haze that always
covers tho Blue Ridge peaks 1t was dense,
black smoke, forming strong contract to
the blue haze
Mr.. Miller says that when he first noticed
the smoke coming out of tho mountain, two
years ago, it seemed to start up like Jet of
high-pressure steam, Us thick as The trunk of
big tree and with crown like the spreading
foliage of mountain pine Tho Investigators
made an effort to gauge the depth Of tho ifs
sures, but without success. Many of them
were partly filled in with timber and hugo
stones which had been cast down By inquisi-
tive visitors, but wherever the view was I'M
INSTRUCTED it was easy to see that they OK
tended far below the visible base of the table
rock ITSELF and probably hundreds of feet into
the depths of the mountain.
Volcano or no volcano, it is plain that active
geological changes had been at work on CHM
ney rock within quite recent period. Tho
attention of biologists has been called to CHM
ney rock and its queer phenomena, and since
the recent earthquake disturbances, which
somewhat enlarged the assures, the residents
of the valley have not been little agitated
over the idea that the top of Chimney rock
may prove to be a crater.-Baltimore Cor.

INTERESTS OF TRAVIS COUNTY.

1t would take long list of figures to
show the vast benefits Travis county and
the city of Austin have received from the
state, by and through the democratic
party. They lie around us on every hand,
from the magnificent capitol now rising
IN our midst with the grandeur of Alad
uih tabled palace, down to less imposing
private residences reared by the aid of
government patronage.
10 the same source of power is our city
indebted for large part of her commerce
and the hundreds of thousands of dollars
put into circulation among our CONNER
cial men. A thousand ana one other
benefits might be enumerated, bestowed
upon us through democratic state gov
eminent.
In the near future we may be asking the
state government and the people of
Texas for more favors. For instance.
the location of all terms of
the high courts here, and the
improving and identifying our city, es-
pecially that portion adjacent to the new
capitol. Other things might be men
toned.
Yet it is proposed by some of our citi-
zens to insult the party in power, spit in
the face of democratic legislature by
sending into that body as representatives
of Travis county radical and indie
pendent! Any school boy can see the
utter folly of such course.
If Travis county expects to stand in
harmony with the state government and
its egislature-rather than in a position
to be slighted-she must be represented
by democrats like Taylor Moore and
Emory Smith.
Moreover, it will be against the inter
ests of Travis county to put herself on
the record in the coming election, by
electing any man on the radical-inde-
pendent hybrid ticket. She ought, in the
legislature, be able to point to clean
democratic record. These are facts
which appeal to the cool judgment Of all
classes of our citizens.

concluded that the dog was mad, and, at the

neck and held it until her brother got rope,
made a slip knot, threw it over the dogs
