DALLAS, Dec. 27.-Never was there
such season in the history of Texas
For many weeks past the thermometer

AS a result the prairies and woodland
pastures are as green as IN April.
Flowers are growing in the gardens
and orchards budding. Many bouses
have lighted no fires this winter.
Insects are as lively as they are an May.
Wheat and fall oats are foot or two

We agree with the Homer Guardian
that justices Of the peace should have
jurisdiction to bail or refuse in any
case. This arrestiug person and send
ing him to Jail TO await the arrival of
the District Judge is a nuisance The
Judge sometimes cannot come for
weeks to investigate the case and the
unfortunate party, though possibly IN.
noeent, has TO lie ~ jail when his case
should be passed on at once. This
matter calls loudly for a remedy.

BURKE.

Latest reports are to the effect that
Z. A. Burke has reached Honduras,
and that President Bogran has given
him a warm reception.
Burke's pockets are said to be well
filed, and Bogran, probably a part
ner. 1t is also reported that friends
of Burke are making arrangements to
settle his Indebtedness TO the state, or
buy off the state. Nearly, if not all
of which may be, and probably is,
bosh.
Certainly, the crime cannot be
atoned for by payment of the amount
stolen. Felonies cannot be compro-
missed. 1t is true, officers, judges
and juries, may be found occasionally,
who may be bought, but Burke would
have TO be here to be tried, in order 10
avail himself of the briblng process,
and if be did and should accomplish
such a purpose, his case is now so
well known, that no amount of law
would prevent an outraged people from
Iynching the cuIprit and all he dared
to corrupt There is no danger of
that.
But Burke may be in Honduras,
and if be is, competent detectives
should he placed near him to follow
him always until brought back to
Louisiana for trial,
A requisition should be sought,
and if the United States cannot get
him surrendered, detectives should
see TO it that be be some way in-
duced to leave that petty state, and
that good jury in New Orleans OF
Baton Rouge have an opportunity tn
decide upon his guilt Or innocence.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

Don't Allow Yourself to BE Prejudiced
by Democratic Organ-Grinders.
The free-trade Democratic sheets are
engaged in the unworthy work Of en-
deavoring to prejudice the minds Of the
people against the new tariff bill in
course of preparation by the ways and
means committee Of the House Of
Representatives-the Mckinley BILL"
as it will undoubtedly be called in the
mouths of the people, after the distin-
guished chairman of that committee
No details of that bill have yet been
given out, and it is entirely gratuitous
on the part of those papers to assume
that the bill will increase duties on
articles already properly protected and
not reduce them on any.
They are certain to have a disagree
able surprise when the bill is reported;
for the Blade has undoubted authority
for the statement that thu free list will
be increased, ''but in manner and in a
direction that will not injure American
industries" and that where duties are
crease is needed in the interest of our
own producers of raw material or our
own manufacturing industries.
1t is fact which the people must not
forget, that every reduction of duties
since the war era has been accomplished
by Republicans. The Democrats have
had maiorities. but they accomplished
nothing in this direction. At the close
of the war the value of imported arti-
cles on the free list was only about one
ninth of the value of imported dutiable
articles. By wise reductions and
changes, made by Republican Con-
crosses, the total value of imported
articles on the free list is now more than
one-hdlf that of the value of imported
dutiable articles. For the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1889, the total value OF
imports on the free list was, in round
numbers, 1851, 900, 900, while the aggre-
gate value of imports paying duty was
S4S5, 600, 900. And as to the schedules,
the average duty was AZ per cent ad
valorem in 1868; it has been reduced,
by Republican legislation, to an average
of 80 per cent. ad valorem at the present
day.

itself not only able to handle the tariff
for the best interests of the people
under the gradually but constantly
changing conditions Of protection and
conversion, but it has shown itself pos
sessed of the courage to do so, despite
the clamor of interested persons and the
demagogy of the enemies of the Ameri-
can system of political economy. The
Nation will find the majority Of Con-
gress fully able to handle the question
in the same manner at the present time.
The Republican majority of the ways
and means committee will be found
unanimous in the principles by which
they will be guided in celebrating the
new Mckinley bill, and the measure
will pass both houses and receive Presi.
dent Harrison's signature. Thus will
tariff revision be removed from the
political arena, and the free traders be
left to howl for tariff abolition, instead
of hiding that purpose under the de.
ceptive cry of tariff reform.

The Venom of Serpenta.

The venom of the rattlesnake has been
frequently made the subject of study, and,
while its action as a poison has been gen.
orally conceded, some writers have en-
deavored to prove its efficiency as drug.
Surgeon l. A. Waddell, NJ B., has recently
been availing himself of his opportunities
as deputy sanitary commissioner in Ben
gal to determine point around which it
would seem that much uncertainty existed
the curious question Of the effect of SER
pent venom on the serpents themselves.
The experiments generally confirm and ex-
tend the principle formulated by Fontana,
in 1865, that the venom is neither q poison
TO the snake itself, nor to those of its own
species. This immunity may result from a
federation established through frequent i'm
bibition of the venom in the modified or at
tenuated form which it assumes when fixed
with salivary and gastric juices and alb
sorbed through the alimentary canal. If
this hypothesis can be verified by further
experiments, it will go far towards affording
indications for combating the action of the
venom on MANN. Y. Ledger.
