knows whether he can spend time in

which such practices are being carried

press the use of the public prints for

THE silverites are not likely to have
their own way with the silver bill.
The one thing to be considered is how
to give financial aid to the business
of the country by increasing the cir
culating medium, and Secretary Win
dom is of opinion that this measure
will release about SIS, 100000 and add
it to the amount now in circulation.
Senator WINDOWS bill insured the
silver certificates, and they would al
ways have been worth face value in
gold. The taking away from these
certificates their legal tender charac-
ter will depreciate their value
THAT this is a country allowing
very great freedom of the press and,
also. that there are no end of fools
who abuse that liberty of the press
are facts amply demonstrated every
day. AS an illustration, take this
from the BellvilIe Standard:
1.-THE facts developed in the habeas
corpus case of I. S. Marshal Maggie
from California, and circumstances
surrounding the death Of his victim,
create suspicion at least of a conspir.
acy to murder Judge Terry with the
U. S. government as an accessory"
There is also a suspicion that when
the incubator of the above was hatch.
ed, an idiot was born with the demo,
cratic party as an accessory.

Commencement Exercises at the Sam Houston
Institute-Address by Supt. Cooper.
HUNTSVILLE, Tex. May 29.-The COM
mencement exercises of the State normal
came to close last night. The diplomas,
and certificates were delivered in order to
the graduates and under graduates by Hon,
o. H. Cooper. The Peabody medals were
presented to the class representatives, after
which Superintendent Cooper delivered an
interesting address on educational topics.
Acting Governor Wheeler also made short
address to the graduating class, after which
DR.. ]. B. Baldwin, the president, delivered
a touching farewell to the students.
The exercises closed with a social re-

affair and attracted a number of visitors
in addition to those already present. The
costumes were elaborate and the hall
crowded.

What suggested the idea to Mr..
Porter that the dear people would re-
fuse to answer the questions about
which he issues his note OF advice? Is
not such an order of itself a comics
sion OF the improperly of those ques-
tons? What right has the govern
ment TO pry into the matter of "acute
or chronic diseases" among the men
and women of the nation? When
such exist are they not matter of per-
sonal discontinue and shamefdnd of
family modification? Are they to be
put on record in official documents
of the Federal government or to be
paraded before the eyes of the nation?
The fourth amendment to the Federal
constitution reads: "The right of
the people to be secure in
their persons, houses, papers
and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be
violated" etc. Can the invasion OF a
mans home with such questions be
excused on the ground of "reason-
ableW Certain information it is as
suredly right and proper for the gov
eminent to collect as official and public
data. But do not questions twenty
two and twenty-three 60 entirely too
far? The records of the asylums and
hospitals of the land are open for in
spection; upon these estimates can be
based, and beyond them the public
should not be harrassed and family
secrets demanded under penalty OF
illegal proceedings instituted by the
Washington Office through the depart
ment of justice"

all. the Order of Chosen Friends could
plant itself in no better place than
our own bright, sunshiny Texas. From
hill to vale and wood to wave is
honor's field or glory's grave. BaP-
tized by the fiery spirit OF two wars,
and born, as it were, amid the red
mans carnage, she rises full panoplieG
upon the field and presents her battle
scenes that seem hung to fancy's eye-
The home OF almost every product.
Washed by the warm waves
of the Mexic gulf, she yet stretches
far north into other chimes,
while through her bosom roll innu-
merable rivers-nature's harp strings
of mother earth, laid as If Ill tantas-
tic shape. Each hill is suggestive OF a
story-each rivulet murmurs a tale.
Wild and rare in nature that is new
her mountains, like memorial pillars,
record the true heartedness of a peo-
pie that make us proud they are our
brethren her vast plains, like oriental
mirrors, reflect the hospitality OF a
people we prlde 10 sllare, Hel '"ii0yS
are like allowed aisles when touched
by the artists finest care in which we
delight to dwell, for there are our
homes-while under her sod, as in
sacred crypts, repose the dust OF a
patriot dead that make us proud
we too are men.
Finer material than this never grew
in the forests of Lebanon, and unto
the scholar, the poet, the orator, the
sculptor, the painter, the business
man, the mechanic, the farmer, the
Order of Chosen Friends, the Masons,
the Odd Fellows, the Knights OF Honor
and all others, the invitation is come,
come and SOW, and reap, and build,
and buy, and write, and sing, and
carve, and construct, and work and
labor until the great sun of heaven in
its diurnal course around the universe
shall look upon no country like Texas,
and no people like Texans.
Sheen of the mighty, great and free,
Texas, thus We hope tor thee;
The land of every land the pride,
Beloved by us DER all the world beside.
