Unexpected Result of tho Hurd- Domeis
Election Contest Lamentations of the
Free Traders.
The House committee on elections yes
to-day decided the IIurd- Romeis (Ohlo)
contested election case in favor of the sit
ting member, Mr.. Romeis. The first vote
came up on a motion to recommend the
seating Of Mr.. Uurd. On this motion the
nays were 10 and the yeas 4. The afllrma-
tive votes were cast by Messrs. Henderson,
Of North Carolina; Croxton, Robertson, and
Martin, all Democrats. The negative votes
were cast by Messrs. Pettlbone, Payne,
Hopkins, Ely, and Dorsey, Republicans,
and Turner, Green, Of New Jersey; Boyle,
Lowry, and Hall, OF Iowa, Democrats. The
question then came up on motion to de-
clare Mr.. Romeis entitled TO his seat. This
motion was carried by q vote Of s to 0, the
the previous motion being supplemented
by the votes OF Messr3. Hail aud Greon,
Democrats, who had voted against Mr.
Ilurd's right to q seat.
The friends OF the Morrison tariff bill,
who have been solicitous about having the
assistance OF Mr.. Hurd (who is an eloquent
free trader) when the debate came up,
charge that the action Of Messrs. Turner
and Boyle, Democratic protectionists, In
voting against Mr.. Hurd is due TO desire
TO defeat tariff legislation. The action OF
the committee was complete surprise to
Mr.. Hurd and his friends, who were very
sangune OF favorable action.

The President sent the following nomlna-
tions to the Senate yesterday:
Brig. Gen, o. o. Howard, to be major
general, vice Pope, retired.
Patrick b. German, to be register OF the
land Office at st. Cloud, MINI.
ID. II. McDermott, 10 be receiver OF pub
lie moneys at Benson, MINI.
In view OF the fact that Maj. Gen. scho-
field has expressed q preference for the
command Of the division Of the Atlantic, 1t
is now thought likely that Maj. Gen. Terry,
whose promotion was confirmed by the
Senate last week, will be assigned to the
command Of the division Of the Missouri,
and Maj. Gen. Howard, who was nomi-
mated yesterday, will be assigned to the
command OF the division Of the Pacific.
II is not probable, however, that the ques-
ton OF assignments Will be settled until
Gen. Howard's nomination shall have been
acted upon by the Senate. Coils. Ruger
and Merritt are said to have been selected
for promotion as brigadier generals. ID.

original structures. The booths will
cover about ten feet, and In addition to the

Carrara Marble Works.

The artistic designing and faultless
workmanship of these works, No. 1913
East Houston street, are challenging
public attention. Mr.. Frank Teich. the
proprietor, is an excellent free hand
draughtsman. a designer of merit and
real artist with the chisel. Since he has
established In this city, his decorative
and monumental marble work has COM
mended him to the confidence and
patronage Of those who appreciate art
and have an eye to the beautiful. The
design for Governor Pease's monument
at Austin. by his hand, has won golden
opinions from all who have examined 1t.
A large monument for Corpus Christi
was a gem In marble, and some fine
specimens Of statuary can be seen at his
yard In this city. All marble work for
garden and landscape adOrnment, vases,
statuary, etc., is executed at this estab-
lishmeiit In the most artistic manner.
There is no necessity for sending abroad
for such work, and all San Antonians
who have orders In marble to place
should visit the Carrara Marble Works
before going farther and faring worse.

street. others gamble IN real es-
tate. Speculation is one form of
gambling. Men who pride them
selves on being tip-tOp gentlemen
own and run race horses and risk
their money on horse races
rarely lose their social caste in
consequence of their addiction to
the turf. Fashion brands one
thing as gambling, while it pats on
the back those that indulge in
another kind Of gambling, but
there is no such elasticity in moral
principle. The supreme court of
Texas decided good many years
ago that money lost on a horse
race could not be recovered back
nor the payment of it be avoided,
upon the ground that it was gam
bling.
Gambling in grain, pork and
cotton futures has grown to be a
gigantic evil-it has drawn
thousands of men into its vortex,
and is the fruitful cause of nine
tenths of the defalcatiOns and EN-.
bezzlements with which the
country is cursed, yet hundreds
of church members indulge in this
kind of gambling. Gambling in
grain, -four and pork serve to put
facticious price on these neces-
saries of life, and in this way
seriously Injuries the class of con-
sumers who constitute pretty
much the entire population of the
union. To poor men "cOrners"
in breadstuffs and pork, by which
the prices of those articles are in
HANGED for speculative purposes
are downright robbery.
The Express lately contained an
editorial advocating the policy of
licensing gambling houses in
Texas and of exacting high licen-
SEES from them in order to curtail
their number. The sole result of
demanding a considerable sum of
money for the licenses would be
to create a monopoly of gambling
in favor of a few houses, and for
this reasons would be open to
grave objections. If the legisla.
ture is to legalize gambling, as the
Express recommends, the wisest
plan would be to fling the door
wide open and let all embark in
the business, as this would cut
down the profits arising from it
1t should also enact that no joint
stock company or partnership
should be formed to prosecute
the business, and that the proprie
tor of each and every gambling
house shall file an affidavit stain.
