But tho Marriage Ceremony Coos on
All the Same.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Peter Bishop, an
employe Of the Hanauer Oil Works, and
Miss Mary Darmody, after several months
courtship, fixed Tuesday, May Z, rs the
date OF their marriage, and, in accordance
with the custom Of the Catholic Church,
posted the bans in St. Peters. A day or
two nitcrward Father Moran was visited
by an elderly female accompanied by two
younger women. The elderly female gave
her name rs johnson and one Of the young
or women declared that her name was
Matte Wolf, that she was the daughter Of
Mrs. johnson, and that she had come to
prevent Peter Bishops marriage. who, she
said, was the father OF her illegitimato
child, and who, she also charged had
wife and two children in another State.
Father Moran promised an investigation,
and dismissed his visitors After careful ex-
animation OF Mr. Bishops record at Gret-
ma, La, where he last resided. he was
convinced that the charge Of former
marriage was untrue. lie also discovered
that the alleged father Of Matte VOLTS
child had only resided in Memphis eight
months and had never visited It's mother
but twice. Further investigation deyel-
oped the fact that the woman who COM

Must the Republic Die?
Chicago Globe,

A thoughtful reader of the Globe writes
as follows:
''Too much cannot be said of the Importance
of your comments on buying the presidency, >
and on election reform. Should the Globe sue
coed in its high aim of purifying the ballot box
it would be an imperishable monument to its
name and founders, greater than the emancipa-
tion OF the slaves. That was the redemption of
the republic from an institution of barbarism
that degraded one section OF 1t only; this would
rescue 1t from deadly disease that threatens
the constitutional life of the nation entire. -
The Globe fully realizes the truth of the
foregoing observations. The only posi-
bic basis of Republican constitution is
the intelligence and morality of the peo-
pie. It's foundation is the free will of an
electorate-there can not be any other.
The electorate is the sovereign that acts,
and must act, of its own volition. The
bulk, the controlling part, at least, of
its members must be willing to receive a
Republican constitution; must be willing
and able to do what is necessary to keep
it standing; must be willing and able to
exercise honestly and intelligently the
voluntary powers that it devolves upon
them. The chief of these voluntary
powers is the discharge of the electoral
office. If the electorate refuse to dis
charge this office the republic dies. If

ruptly, selling the public offices to per-
sons who pay the highest price for votes,
the republic is wounded unto death, and
its demise is only question of some brief
time.
1t may be SAID that the venal scoun-
drels that sell their votes to other corrupt
scoundrels, as swine are sold on the cattle
market, are not the bulk of the Ameri-
can electorate. This is yet true; never
theless it may happen, and it has very
recently happened, that they hold the
deciding power. If 5000 GOO electors
vote honestly for one candidate and
5 900, 900 vote honestly for another, their
votes mutually cancel each other and
there is no electoral decision. If, then,
a few thousand or few hundred electors
sell their votes TO either candidate, the
election is decided by this venal, corrupt,
infamous transaction of the least num-
Der. The decision is made by purchase,
not by popular election. The Office
is sold for price, as an article of mer-
chandise; not bestowed by popular cleo
ton, as public trust. The presidency

NEWS and NOTES.

A portion of the Fourth division of the
Russian cavalry recently rode sixty-fiYe
miles in six hours and quarter.
Some succulent statistics say there are
in the Chesapeake SIS PA 900 square
yards of oyster beds, yielding about TO-
| 600 900 bushels of oysters annually, and
distributing about 81 600, 900 among
80 900 people.
A young man with a pedometer found
that in twenty-five dances he had travel
ed thirteen and a half miles. 1t is dol
lars to cents that every belle at that ball
couldn It go down town half d mile
without taking horse car, or the beaux
either, for that matter.
The Elgin (nl.) News states that a
young man at Rockford, who some time
ago wrote his name in girl IS album, is
now sued by her for $500, the amount Of
a note she claims to hold against him
1t is believed the note was written on the
page of the album where he wrote.
A novel law point came up before Mr..
Justice Butt in the application of a wo-
man to have her marriage with her de-
ceased sisters husband declared void.
Such a marriage is contrary to the law
of England, but Justice Butt surprised
the council with the opinion that for one
of the parties to ask relief from it was in
admissible.
According to the Missionary Review,
the 3 900 900 converts in the foreign
mission fields are setting a good example
to the many millions of Christians at
home, for the converts have sent out
80 900 missionaries, or one for every 100,
while their more fortunately born
brethren send out one in 5000. The con-
verts serve as native preachers, teachers,
catechists and lay helpers, and prove
helpful to the regular missionary forces
sent out from England and this country
Oskaloosa, Kan. has a woman for
mayor and five women for the council.
Hitherto various places of business, such
as grocery stores, barber shops, restau-
rants, livery stables and like resorts, had
kept open doors seven days in the week
but under the new regime the business
men of Oskaloosa are notified that they
must remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy. Every possible influence was
brought TO bear to do away with such
radical reform, but the council agreed
with the mayor and the law will be en-
forced if it is not really respected.
The Iegisture of Maine is deluged with
petitions in favor of granting the NUM-
cipal vote to the women of the state.
They are signed by people of both sexes,
many of them prominent citizens, and
the agitation on the subject is vigorously
prosecuted. The advocates of the new
system point proudly to the facts that
women can now vote at municipal cleo
tons in Kansas; that they have the full
right of suffrage IN Wyoming and that
they are entitled to vote on school ques-
tions in fourteen states. The last re-
ports from Maine lead TO the opinion that
the petitioners for municipal suffrage for
the women of the state have a good
chance of success in the legislature.

rEKAS AND CALIFORNIA.

The Alta California discussing propo-
sition to organize state commission of
immigration, declares that no further
efforts should be made TO encourage i'm
migration to the cities of California, but
that they should be limited to building
up the country. and adding to the rural
population. This opinion is, doubtless,
inspired by the results of the BOOM of
1873 that filed California with pilgrims
from all parts of the Union They To-
Gated, mainly in the cities, having been
attracted TO the state by the promise of
quick and important growth of certain
towns and villages. Disappointment
was the inevitable result, because the
growth of the cities in California, has
been in advance rather than behind its
agricultural development. The Sc
quence was that the tide of travel was
turned eastward, and thousands of tenn
porary residents returned to their homes
to become active agents against the de-
Velopment of the Pacific state.
1t is singular fact that Texas is the
only one of the undeveloped Western
states, whose cities are not far in ad-
vance of the territory tributary to them.
With population of over two million of
souls it has not one city with population
of 40 200 people and but seven cities
which have over 10 900. The present
development of the state justifes the
creation of one central commercial point
in which $50 200 might be sustained.
The first, alone, insures attention for
Texas at the hands of Eastern capitalists
who desire to invest in city real estate
and commercial enterprises. Texas has
room for them which neither California,
Oregon, nor any of the Northwestern
territories can offer.

Electric Street Cars.
Boston Herald.

The advent of electric street cars in
Boston inaugurates new system of
power transmission which has come to
abide with us for the future. When OBJ
jectors found that cars could be moved
by the electric current they fell back to
the next line of defense that it was very
costly. But, as a matter of fact, it has
been proved TO be the most economical
method of power TRANSMISSION. that was
ever known. Then the directors went into
the last ditch, and said that though I'M
doubtedly cars could be operated 0y cleo
trical power, yet when they come to en-
counter our northern winters-the snow
on the tracks and ice on the conductors
they could not be operated. This has
also been disproved by the successful OPP
GRAFTON of electrical railways in Canada
and Wisconsin and elsewhere during
snow-storms and billiards. compared
with which our worst winter storms are
tame affairs.

1orresnondence Of the Gazette.

Special Correspondence OF the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX. Feb. 5.-To- morrow
the big fight of the session begins in the
house. The railway commission bin is
the special order for IL CLOCK, and for
that hour every day until disposed of. A
careful study of the bill reveals num-
Der of provisions which are, to say the
least, peculiar. Section fixes the max
imum rate for the transportation OF
freight of the ffrst-class at 40 cents per
100 pounds per 100 miles, and says the
commission, taking that as a basis,
shall Ffix reasonable and just maximum
and minimum rates of freights and
charges for the transportation of each
class of freights, to be classified by
them. This seems to me to
be a weak invention used for
the purpose of circumvenhng that
clause in the constitution which
says the legislature shall from time to
time pass laws establishing reasonable
maximum rates of charges for the trans
portation of passengers and freight
on said railroads. - To answer the COM
mand of the constitution this commits
sion bill fixes the maximum freight rate,
but fixes it upon one class of freight only,
and leaves it to the ission to say
of what that class shall consist, and
to classify and fix the charges upon every
other kind of height known among ship
pers. This really delegates to the com
missioners supreme authority in the
whole matter, for they may name as
freight OF the first-class some article of
which not pound would be
shipped over Texas roads in year. and
working from that basis fix the rates on
all classes of freights that is handled in
large quantities at figures ruinously low
to the roads. For instance, they NAV
under this sixth section say that diamonds
shall constitute freight of the first class.
for which not more than 40 cents per 100
miles per 100 pounds shall be charged
and that lumber shall be put in the
ninety ninth class, for which l cent for
each 100 pounds shipped 100 miles
shall be the maximum charge
The shipments of diamonds are
not heavy enough to ruin the people of
Texas even if the roads should charge the
fun amount allowed by law, but the
shipments of lumber are so large that.
if the rates should be put as low as
indicated. some OF the roads in Texas
would have to suspend business.
Suppose, on the other hand, the com
missioners should be friendly to the rail-
roads-should succumb to that mysterious
influence which it is said the roads know
so well how to exercise-and should
raise the commonest freights,
of which the largest amounts
are shipped to the first-elass,
upon which the forty cent maximum
should be charged, while the lower
classes would be composed of articles so
rarely shipped by freight as to cut no fig
ure in railroad receipts. Suppose lumber
and wheat and coal and cotton should
be raised to the highest classes, with a
maximum graduated down from 40 cents
and q minimum graduated UP from

Agricultural and Mechanical College Bulletin
of Information Relating to Creameries
AT the last meeting of the Agricultural
experiment station council, it was
deemed advisable, in view of the fact that
organized effort is being made to estab-
1ish creameries IN different parts of the
state, to publish, at the earliest opportu-
nifty, bulletin giving detailed instrue-
tions with careful estimates of cost and
suggestions in relation TO their organiza-
ton and management.
The director and agriculturist of the
station were requested to prepare same as
soon as possible.
The bulletin will be based largely on
the practical working of the college
creamery, which has been in successful
operation since the LIST of June last, and
of other established creameries, and will
be ready for issue by the Ist of
March next. Notice is given at
this time trough the public press in the
hope that those who are interested in any
way-and especially those who contem-
plate investing money in the creamery
business-will delay final action until this
bulletin of information can be pub
lished.
Bulletins will be distributed free on
application to ''F. A. Gulley, director,

Ina Northern school.
New York school Journal.


A surprising thing happened recently
in Western school. The children were
kept after hours and taught the following
song, which is one of the worst bits of
doggerel issued during the last campaign:
The train is coming around the bend,
Goodbye, old Grover, goodbye!
It S loaded down with Harrison men,
Goodbye, old Grover, goodbye!
1t does not signify what party the song
words favored; the wrong would have
been the same in any case. The affair
happened in a school, the place of all
places where we have right TO expect
educating influences to abound.
What educating and uplifting power
did this give? What did it teach in
morals, manners, or knowledge? What
taste did 1t cultivate? How much
patriotism did it arouse? How much
better were the pupils for learning it?
Schools, lessons, and teachers that do
not bring about these results are failures.
Whose fault was it this time?
