Judge Chrisman made a notable
speech in the Convention Monday
in which he vigorously attacked
the report of the Francise Com
mIttee. We give a sketch of what
he said in regard 10 the outrageous
proposition as TO liability to under
stand the Constitution when read, "
and fully endorse every word OF
il:
And right here | stop TO say
that the proposition that in 1895 a
man shall be able to read the Con.
stitntion, or be able to understand
any clause of it when read TO him,
stamps the whole scheme Of the
Committee with disiayOr. II don't
look honest, straightforward and
manly. II looks like a farce TO
make q registration officer decide
whether a voter rightly interprets
a clause of the Constitution. Ii
the registrar decides that the vo-
ter rightly interprets The clause,
he is a qualified voter. IL he does
not understand it he cannot regis
ter. This section, the meaning of
which has been the subject of
learned dissertations by the Sto-
rys, the Marshalls and the Shark
eys of the bench, are to be sub
mitted to the voter who cannot
read for construction, and upon
the decision of the registration OF
ficer SIS TO whether he correctly
construes its meaning depends the
right OF The citizen 10 vote.
II looks as IL it was intended
that il the registrar wanted the man
TO vote he would read him some
such clause as Slavery except as
a punishment for CRIME shall be
forever'prOhibited. ado you un-
derstand that r. "Oh, yes" But
if he did not want him to vote
he would read HIM the interstate
clause or the section iorbidding
the legislature to pass Kx POST
FAcTo laws aud demand a con
structiOn.

"Bab's" New World.
Men, my friends, know less than
anything else that has descended
from Adam.
Well, we wouldn't want them to
know everything. We don't want
them 10 know what Is cotton and
what is flesh.
We don't want them 10 know
what is the glow of health and
what is the pink of the saucer.
We don't want them TO know
that we put on a smile TO please
them when it hasn't been there
before.
We don't want them TO know
that We see every one of their
small f0llies and despise them
more than we do their big sins.
We don't want them 10 know
we think they are the vainest
creatures ON earth.
We don't want them to know
that their idea that they have seen
life and know all about it, is al
ways a jest to us.
And most of all we don't want
them 10 know how important they
are to us-that we could do with
ont them, and that we like them
better than anything else in the
world, not excepting the baby.

BENEFITS FROM MULcHING.-The
benefits from mulching fruit trees
are many, says Home and Farm.
The mulch checks evaporation and
thus retains moisture in the soil,
which is a decided advantage IN a
dry time. The soil, therefore, does
not bake, but remains open and
porous for the free admission OF
arr, while the earth worms and mi
crobes are doing their work 10 en-
rich the soil. The mulch used
gradually decays and furnishes
needed humus. It also aids male

tion-that Is, in combining the nj
Irogea of the atmosphere with 9th

plant food. This secures one Of
the most costly of plant foods, not

but because it is 50 hard 10 fix and

THE future growth of San Antonio
largely depends on the enterprise and
vim displayed by our citizens. Live
men make live city. If there are
live men in San Antonio, it is time
they are coming to the front and CIV
ing some proof of their vim and en-
terprise in building up our city and
widening its prosperity. We have
plenty of local capital for all enter
prIses. provided, it could be enlisted
in the right channels and kept in
them. Factories, tanneries, and shoe
factories would materially contribute
to the growth, wealth and prosperity
of our city, and these must be put in
to operation by our local capitalists.
1t is a suicidal policy to sit with folded
hands waiting for outside enterprise
aud capital to do what our own peo-
pie should do. "The gods help those
who help themselves"

The Legal Phase of the

The Legat Phase OF the question
A certain female woman, no longer basking
in single blessedness because upon q certain
occasion she had been married to a man, once
upon time called upon certain unSophis-
ticated and uninitiated pawnbroker and rep
resented that her finances were at an exceed
ing low ebb; in fact, 1t afterwards trans.
PRED they did net ebb at all, and represented
10 her uncle that of the whole family 1t was
plain to be seen that Notwithstanding the
many drawbacks and other incidents con-
nected with her finaucial condition
prior to the period at which she had
first entered the domain occupied
and then held as her rightful and lawful in
heritance under the wise and useful home
stead law of Texas, she had on many and
numerous occas ons endeavored to have a
change made in the pompous ponderosity of
the mayor, and failing IN this she clearly
showed the court that the msu who had
sworn out the affidavit (her husband) had ac
customed himself to practice pestiverous pro-
family and bombast. and had on other occa-
sions shown a real lack of spiritualized ideal
ity to the extent of going to ben withoutre
moving his boots and spurs, against which
the petitioner has sued out warrant for de-
famation of character and was now
consulting Uncle Emerson with q
view to raise money wherewith to
forestall the District Attorney and
such other officers of the court as might be in
league with the unfair and hard-hearted de-
PENDANT. She then bought fine pair of soil
Waterbury clock from Uncle Jess, and after
ward secondhand sewing machine and left
for home, fully determined that in future
whenever she got into a tight place she would
go straight to Uncle Jesse for advice and
financial tonic.
