The next session of the state legislator will
be one OF peculiar interest. No county viii,
Perhaps, be more affected, locally, by it than
our own. We require double district court,

districts, congressional and senatorial. These
are some of the reasons of local import that in
duee strong feeling here in favor of the reten-
ton in the senatorial Office of Maj. ]. j. Jarvis.
There are other and in broader sense, more

found Importance than have come before any

The occasion is one of grave concern to the
public, and in their behalf the Mail calls upon

THE THoRNE MACHINE

An article in to-day's GAZETTE taken
from the Evening Mail of this city will be
read with interest by all men interested
in the printing business. The Thorne
type-setting machine is here to stay, for
in its construction has been solved the
question of setting and distributing type
by machinery. The grand results to
flow from this marvellous execution will
be seen in the quickening of the business
TO which it is applied-the world will
have more books, moro newspapers,
more magazines-printeIs will have
more pay and less exhausting work-and
the world will be benefited as it has been
by the numerous other applications of
machinery to the supply of daily
needs. The record of the work done by
the Thorne yesterday, and its attestation
by practical printers, will be reyela-
ton to the printer who has been es-
teemed ga swift because he put up
10 1000 ''ems' a day. In the same
time, with the Thorne, ga team of
two men and boy can put up over TO-
900 Gems, - for there is no time lost in
distribution. To the morning daily
printer, the Thore will be blessing, for
when the machine is put in neral use
the weary "oomp" can have the whole
day to his pleasure or private affairs,
and in many ways the beautiful little
mechanism will elevate and ennoble the
craft.
Not only the Southwest but Mexico
Will be worked from Fort Worth, and it
was meet that this enterprising city
should become the headquarters of
machine destined to reyOlutiOnize the
printing business.
The Thorne is demonstrated attested
success, and from Fort Worth it VIII go
out to bless mankind.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
PILOT POINT. TEX, June S.-The
Pilot Point seminary closed Its ses-
sion Friday evening last with most in
teresting programme, consisting of mu-
sic, essays, addresses and the presenta-
ton Of certificates to quite a number Of
pupils for proficiency in higher mathe-
MATES, physics and physiology. Follow
ing is the programme of the evening:
We cannot refrain from speaking of
the superior excellence of the music rem
dered by the young ladies of Miss Wal
lars music class and the high order Of
merit shown by the essayists. The SUI
perior mind drill "a distinguishing fea-
ture of the teaching in this institution
was well illustrated in these gems of lit
erary work. We give the following brief
synopsis of the annual address of Pro-
fessor I. c. Ruse, late of Emory college,
Ga. Subject: ''Loss and CAIN He
said there can be no gain to objects in the
world of matter without corresponding
loss to other objects. The air is charged

COulIdf NCSELdDlcs EiOh db
the expense of air and soil. There can
be no financial gain without an invest
ment; there must be, for time at least,
a sacrifice. Men grow rich by denying
themselves the pleasures and luxuries of
life. Few become so by chance. There
is more in pluck than in luck. There
can be no mental gam without a sacrI-
flee of time and pleasure. Men do not
become discoveries. inventors or scholars
except by long application, To make
this application they must deny them
selves of many pleasures of the world,
and this denial is in a sense a loss.
Again, there can be no spiritual gain eX-
cept at the expense of the inclinations of
the flesh. This world indeed is but
preparatory school wherein we must
subject ourselves to denial and discipline
before we can hope to enter the school
beyond the grave, where God is the
teacher. Unless we conquer self we
cannot gain heaven. In the conquest of
selfish possessions and appetites we suf-
fer great loss to the flesh, but the final
crown Is worth the cost.

purpose of stiffenlng salisbury's back
bone and aiding the passage of the hill.
What effect this course will have in de-
terminine the fate of the bill is unoer-
tain. 1t may perhaps lead to more
determined crusade by the temperance
advocates against liquor selling, and
fiercer popular opposition to the govern
ment if it insists on the compensation
clause. 1t is undeniable that the tenn
perance, even the prohibition spirit, Is
growing in England, and while the gov
eminent may be able to pass the bill in
its present form, 1t is by no means IN
1lkely that the passage may upset the
Tory coach and tumble Salisbury and his
cabinet into the ditch. Dallying with
beer tax few years ago knocked Glad

have changed since then, and contrary
policy is now likely to do the same for

THF PUBLICAN COMPENSATION

BILL.
The "puolicsn is the saloon-keeper
of London, and of England throughout,
for that matter. The government be-
lieving that the aforesaid publican was
becoming too numerous, resolved upon
thinning out process by restricting the
number of licenses to be Issued to that
class of citizens. In doing SO it also pro-
posed generously enough to compensate
those members of the craft who should
get left in the distribution of govern
mental prizes under the proposed new
regime, for the losses incurred by the
enforced suspension of their business.
This latter concession provided for in the
government bill now under considera-
ton in the house of commons, has raised
O furious hullabaloo among the temper
ance people and others, and has quite
fGighted the isle from its propriety and
disturbed the leaders of the Tory party
who are responsible for the measure.
Monster demonstrations to protest against
the bill IN Hyde Park and other public
places in London are announced and
lively times are anticipated.
Hyde Park agitation and open
air oratory are in great vogue
with the average Londoner when the
"my lords and gentlemen of parlia-
ment are about to do something of which
he disapproves. He musters as many of
his neighbors as he can drum together,
and away to Hyde Park they all march
in steady phalanx, where they discuss
their grievances ad libitum. and listen
attentively to the Moderated logic of
their leaders, denunoiatory of the powers

and the aforesaid Londoner has duly
exercised the Unborn right and privilege
of every Englishman TO give expression
to his views of public questions, he goes
good naturally TO his home, and sits

CROPS ABOUT MEMPHIS.

the Month of Nay.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. June 5.-The regu-
lar monthly crop report for Memphis
district published to-day by Hill, For
tain & Co. says: Weather during the
month slig tly favorable for cotton, but
there is general complaint OF excessive
rains, and in many localities some dam
age to the plant is reported, which neoss-
states replanting, but as compared with
last year the weather reports
are much more favorable and
stand as q rule good. The continuous
wet weather which prevailed during the
first half of the month, however, has
prevented planters from working crops,
and oul fields are reported from every
section. The weather apparently has
now settled. Great progress has been
made by farmers in clearing crops, and
the warm sunshine of the past ten days
has no doubt brought out both cotton and
corn, and crop conditions can there
fore be considered favorable. The
season as compared with last
year averages about five days earlier,
with ground in much better conditions,
hence with a fair season continuous
yield of the staple throughout the dis
trict can reasonably be anticipated.
Corn is not repo ted in as good condition
as cotton, being late and, owing to con-
tinued rains, has not Jared so well.
seasons, however, Will have a
beneficial effect on this cereal, and the
yield will doubtless be an average one.
