THE postal biography bill, which
goes over until next session, is by no
means as dead a. duck as some crea-
lures of the western union imagine.
Unless the democracy are able to de-
feat the measure it will be law, for
it will be in troduced and acted upon
next session of congress. Postal tele-
graphy and pan-American trade, with
a pan-American railway and postal
service, is the republican programme.
THE New Birmingham Times does
not regard with complacency the ap-
polntment of an irresponsible railway
commission and says:
"Mr. Hogg's own testimony proves
that he is for q commission with plen-
ary power. A commission with plen-
ary power means the abrogation of
the power of the people as the con-
trolling power in all matters pertain
ing to government. 1t IL therefore
against democracy. Will you elect
such man.
Nothing is undemocratic that is
done by the democracy, when so free
to act as they undoubtedly are in
in Texas.
THE Tyler Democrat understands
the situation thoroughly and express
es the truth succinctly when it says:
"There is no place in Texas where
great fair and exposition can be
made more interesting than at San
Antonio
San Antonio will do her best to
demonstrate the truth of this asser-
ton next October.

THE one weak point in the present
administration has been the charac-
ter of many of it's appointments to
office, particularly in the southern
states, where the old party feuds
were exceptionally bitter and the
president and his cabinet had little
to guide them in the choice of men.
While this has created feeling it has
not weakened the republican party,
and ITS strength with the country
will depend, not on this thing but on
the legislation enacted in congress.
The outlook is decidedly encouraging.

SHEDDING UP MONT BLANC.
The Novel Experience Of Sixty-Year-
Old Scientist.

A lame man, about sixty years OF age has
just made the ascent of Mont Blanc. In his
day Mr.. Jansen has been great mountain
climber. He is the president OF the French
Alpine Club and an astronomer. He was taken
up on siedge which was drawn and pushed
by twenty-five guides. and while they had a
rather hard time of it in some parts OF the as
cent the old gentleman sat in comfort on his
sledgo and let them tug away and founder in
the Snow.
When near the top of tho mountain. at the
Ridge of the Bosses, the ascent was almost
vertical. and or, both sides were beds OF snow,
apparently ready to fall in avalanches at the
slightest motion The twenty-five guides no
were up to their waists i'll the snow begged the
old gentleman to try walking for n little
variety, and assured him that a very short pull
would land him on the top OF the mountain.
pile finally consented to try it, got of his
sledce and took six or seven steps when he
tumbled down in the snow. lie said the work
was much too hard for his strength and thew
must get him up on the sledge somehow. An
other hours hard work and the astronomer
was on top Of tho mountain, the first time that
any one has ever taken assledge journey Up
Mont Blanc.
1t took him two days to mako the ascent, but
only one day TO return 20 the hotel near the
foot OF the mountain. and during the many
hours the guides were putting away up the
difficult slopes two ladies' the wife and daugh-
ter OF the Alpine sledSe traveller, were on the
veranda OF the hotel watching every move
ment of their relative through a telescope
Tic therefore not only assembled the mountain
with considerable degree Of comfort but
teresting spectacle TO those who were watching
the party below.

A glad" IN COURT.
The Practices of Christian Scientists
Denounced From the Bench.

The Christian Scientists have been given n
hard rap by Judge Loren J.. Lewis of the su-
p-eme court sitting at Buffalo, NY This
he did IN rendering decision in a Eabeas cor
pUs case for the custody of a child whose
mother is Christian Scientist In that de-
cisiOn he declares that between the contending
father and mother he should give the child to
the mother. but the evidence shows that the
mother is a devotee of Christian Science.
The judge condeuses the testimony thus:
''The respondent is a believer, it seems. in that
system OF treating :he sick known as Christian
Science, which, as I understand. consists in the

The deceased child was taken with spasms
which continued twenty-four hours. aud until
che died The respondent called n Christian
Scientist TO treat her, who. the evidence shows,
sat by the child eight hours while she was SUI
fering constantly with spasms. No remedies
were administered by her. unless silent prayer
may be said 70 be remedy. After the child
had been IN spasmS eight hours. its grand
parents learning of its sickness demonstrated

Six Students Arrested for Disordcrly
Conduct and Fined $40 Apiece.

Princeton college students had q night of
the other night at Trenton, N. J. At about
midnight the police wore notified that several
young men in Visitors were tearing down bust

mon was sent out. Tho policemen soon re-
turned with SIX young men. Each had an or m
ful Of tin signs. Two were locked up, while
the others we're allowed to go on their promise
to appear in the police court in tho morning.
They did appear and each was fined 80. The
party did not have ono IS bill and local mer-
chant, whose son is at Princeton college, paid
the fines. Another party of collegians drove
in about am and proceeded to bill the town
with huge posters, setting forth in big green
letters lot Of more or less amusing informa-
ton about the freshmen. They were not sats-
fed with the bill boards, but selected the
fronts of some of the handsome residences and
stores in the fashionable quarter of tho city.
They did their work 80 quietly they escaped
detection. The next day the citizens were
trying to clean of the bills, but the paste con-
tanned SO much glue that they could not re-
