PROFESSOR MAHAFFY, an English
lecturer of prominence, in the course of
lecture at the Chautauqua Assembly
on Primitive Man." recently rather
surprised his listeners by declaring that
Thomas Jefferson was all wrong when
he wrote in the preamble of the Declare
ton of Independence that all men are
created equal, and by asserting that
"the Declaration of Independence was
inspired by a foolish platitude of hair
Drained French revolutionists.' As an
example of inequality of man he quoted
the disappearance of the Indians in this
country and their being supplanted by
a new and foreign race of greater origi-
nal strength. He says that what is a
good illustration of his theory is the
fact that one man is handsomer than
another, one is stronger than another
and still another is longer lived than
his neighbor. This is rather queer
theory and created some amusement fer
the professors listeners.

AN ingenious citizen, with an eye to
adjusting himself to his environment,
has moved reorganization of the cal
endar. Winter, he contends, should
begin on January first and include
March; spring should commence with
April and include June; July, August,
and September should constitute sum-
mer, and the fall, beginning with Oc-
tober, should not end till after Christ
mas. His new calendar would play the
mischief with traditions, but it would
come nearer to actual experience than
does the present Anticipated European
article. The procession of the equinoxes
is too slow altogether for the American
climate. Facts are on the side Of re-
form, and if the weather does not
speedily repent and bring forth fruits
more meet for repentance than rank
grass and dropsical potatoes, the newly
established Department of Agriculture
will be called on to revise the calandar.

Vast frs, like old arohimages,
Shed incense everywhere,
And, all in the wide gray weather,

Ioozed from a topmost bow, ~
And drank that splendor thirsting-
There is no such sunshine nowl
And the wings that came round me flashing
None like them are fiuttering here

And sealed in my shining sphere.

When the elements wrought for man,
And waved over fire victorious,
Shaped the earth to her ancient plant
Then the tides, in the great world changes
Rose In their mighty turn,
Rolled over the fir trees ranges
And the plume of the giant fern
And ages had passed and ages,
When the winds scooped the deep sea floor
And the seas in their storm blown RACES
Tossed me to light once more.

Special 70 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is under
stood that an agreement has been reached
between the members of the house and
the members of the senate interested in
the territorial admission bill, by which
the policy Of the Republicans agreed to
in caucus yesterday viii meet with the
approval Of the house confreres. Mr..
Springer, it is said, sent word to the
members of the senate committee on
territories that he was willing to agree to
anything that was far as compromise.
He proposed as a compromise that the
question Of admission be submitted
to Dakota as a whole instead OF being
submitted to the two halves of Dakota
separately; but if the people agree to the
division the territories of North and
South Dakota be admitted by presidential
proclamation, and that the territory of.
New Mexico be cut out Of the bill. It's
believed that he will agree to the bill in
the form agreed on in the caucus yester-
day. This means the passage Of the bill
this session Of congress.

AN UNPOPULAR MAN.
Strong Feeling Against Him For His
Political Record.
Threats of Assassination Against Republican
Who is Taking Part in Congressional
Election Contest in Florida.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Feb. Hon.
Frank Pope, who was an Independent
Republican candidate for governor in
1884 has been threatened with assassina
ton in Madison county, and the whole
country Whereabouts is in state of great
excitement.
Mr.. Pope makes his home in Jackson
vile, but "refugeed' in Madison county
during the epidemic. He is disliked there
on account of his political affiliations,
past and present. He has recently been
employed by F. S. Goodrich, defeated
Republican candidate for congress in this
district, to represent him in taking evil
dence throughout the district
IN SUPPORT OF HIS CONTEST
for the seat. Early this week Capt. En-
nest Witt, United States commissioner,
went to Madison to hear testimony, and
Mr.. Pope appeared before him. The
news that Pope and Witt were engaged
in this occupation spread around the
country with amazing rapidity, and such
exaggerated reports were circulated by
hot-headed individuals that the feelings
of the more reckless people were worked
upon. and a deliberate attempt was
made last night to assassin
ate Pope right in the city of
Madison. More conservative citizens
were informed of the move and rallied to
Mr.. Pope's assistance The latter were
supported by the sheriff, who had re-
ceived orders from Governor Fleming,
who had been notified and who promptly
gave instructions to the authorities to
surround Pope with
EVERY POSSIBLE SECURITY.
The governor yesterday afternoon re-
ceived information that lynching
would be attempted last night. Sheriff
Paramore Immediately collected posse
and surrounded the house which MIR
Pope was occupying. This. demoralized the
would-be lynchers, who were surprised to
see that their murderous scheme had
been foiled. Mr.. Pope remained in the
house all night, but is feared the lynchers
will take him off his guard, and strict
watch is being kept by the sheriff and
posse Tonight the excitement runs
high, and another attack is feared. Pope
has just telegraphed a friend here:
''Don t worry. Am all right so far. -
He was born and raised III Madison and
popular feeling there is very bitter
against him on account Of his political
record. He is game, however, and will
face the consequences.

PORT AU PRINCE, Jan. 5.-The situa-

HippOlytes forces are largely veterans of
the former army and soldiers of the late
Gen. Tilemaque and consider themselves
his avengers. Legitime win offer in
event of the capture of his capital to es-
tablish his rule only over the southern
departments acknowledging the northern
departments under separate government
presided over by Gen. Hippolyte. Legi-
time has placed under arrest and in
double irons Gen. AncTeona, commander
of the RuiSsants batteries, because of his
firing on San Marie without orders. 1t is

LAND LAW SUGGESTION.
To Permit the Settler in Time of Plenty to Guard
Against Adversely.

To Permit the Settler in Time of Plenty to Guard
Against Adversely.
SwEETwATER, TEX, Jan. Is, 1888.
To the Gazette.
To second and assist your able efforts
for the upbuilding of West Texas and in
the interest of the actual settler upon
school lands, let me offer a suggestion for
a clause in the new land law to be made
by our solons. 1t is this: to allow the
settler at his option in time of plenty to
put off the time of buying his home by
paying in advance q certain sum, say not
TO exceed one-siXth of the whole OF the
principal, which sum to be credited
against the principal and so stand unless
future interest payments are not made,
and when such payments are not made
they are to be charged to the advanced
payment until it Is continued on default
ed interest when forfeiture to take place,
and no sooner, and further to
require the state treasurer on
all receipts for principal or interest on
such lands to indOrse on the receipt the
time when the land will be fortified, I'M
less other payments are made. This
would, of course, give the state treasurer
untold service TO the unsophlsticated
settler; and would enable him, when
flush by reason of a good crop or sale of
stock, to insure himself for a certain
length of time against the loss
of his home, by reason of a failure of his
crop or some unforeseen disaster These
suggestions are made from the actual
suffering that have seen caused by the
forfeiture of the homes of settlers during
the time our late drought and from talk
Ing to them about methods of relief from
the present harsh law of forfeiture against
which it is impossible for them TO insure
themselves. Think on these matters
ye law makers and all who
are interested in the building
up of West Texas and the state 1T large,
and making it in truth and in fact the
grandest state in this our Union, for 10
build up West Texas the settler must
have some relief from the present harsh
land laws WEST TEXAS.

Deep Water for Texas.

sundry civil bin from the commerce COM
mittee directing the secretary of war to
appoint a board of three army engineers
to make a careful examination of the
northwestern coast of the gulf of Mexico
west Of ninety three degrees west longi-
tude, and select the most advantageous
place for a deep water harbor capable Of
accommodating the largest water-going
vessel.
While this is a step in the right direc-
ton toward securing deep water for
Texas, yet it is scarcely to be hoped that
any legislation viii be had at this late
day favorable to securing a deep water
port for Texas.
