quorum in the House. They regarded it
as violation of their constitutional rights,
Of all precedents and of all the rules that
had ever existed in the House, FOR the minor
ity on the other side, with the aid of the
Speaker. to force them into the considera-
tiOn of an election case.
Mr. Crisp then defended the course of his
side OF the House, justifying it particularly
on the press reports of the recent Republi-
can caucus. to the effect that this and other
general parliamentary law, In order to in
crease the Republican majority, and that
then the rigidity of the new code was to. be
relaxed.
MIR. Mckinley declared that there had
been in that caucus no discussion whatever
of this or any other election case, and that
no resolution, no instructions and no eX-
preston of opinion had been passed or Civ
en- there on the subject of contested elect
| ions.
Mr.. Rowell added that Mr.. Crisp had had
| personal information from him the day after
| the caucus that the newspaper statement of
| it was not correct.
Mr.. Crisp admitted that fact, but stated
| that he was also Informed by newspaper
man that the report was correct So that
the issue of veracity was not between him
and Mr.. Rowell, but between Mr.. Rowell
and the correspondent of the st. Louis
the statement. The statement. he said, had
appeared in many. papers and had never
been denied. Besides, there was a corrobo-
ration of it in the fact that. although the Re-
publican leader Mr.. Mckinley had assured
| the House on the Sth of january that a code
of rules would be reported within a week,
no rules had yet been reported. A discus
sion as to the responsibility for the delay in
reporting the rules took place at this point
between
MIR. NJ 'KINLEY AND MR.. CARLISLE,
the former attrbuting it in part to the fact
that Mr.. Carlisle had been prevented by i'll
ness from attending meetings of the com.
mittee, and the latter stating that he had
been absent only two days on account of i'll.
ness, and declaring his readiness at all times
to meet with the committee on rules, and
even expressing his willingness to have the
committee report the rules to the House
without reference to him.
Mr. Springer-"In oroer to give the com

WOOD COUNTY.
Something About the Resources of This Rich
County.

Something About the Resources Of This Rich
County.
On the western border Of the timber
region of Texas spans the high ridge
which divides the state into the Missis-
s1ppi valley aud the gulf slope. On the
northern border Cypress creek finds its
way through Caddo lake to tho "Father
of Waters,'' while the historic Sabine,
once the boundary of empire in its lower
course, but q mere rivulet here, drains
the balance of the county and debouohes
into the Gulf of Mexico.
From her great elevation and proxim-
ity to the prairies, Wood county enjoys a
breezy and salubrious atmosphere and
com parative immunity from the malarial
diseases common in this latitude. So we
have here all the guarantees of health to
be had from altitude above the level of
the sea, and the free circulation of air
minus the unpleasant rigor of the regu-
lar norther. In addition to this, good
drinking water is everywhere plentiful,
and fruits and garden vegetables of all
kinds are produced in abundance.
1t goes without saving that Eastern
Texas contains the finest Gotten land and
the largest untouched pinerv in the
Union; and it is equally true that Wood
county is one of the best ca1 Ind lum-
Der counties in that - y6f the state.
Land, to be wa111 bfsd to farming,
must be suif (ls level. free from rock
and reaa - firm clay foundation. The
sQi RE has all these essential
: R8i sites of excellence and is also
blessed with regularity of seasons
not known on the Western prairies.
About three-fourths of the area of the
county Is tillable, and every foot of
that, perhaps, is adapted to cotton. The
yIsld is from one-half a bale to bale
per acre, according to the seasons.
Ribbon cane succeeds admirably in the
branch bottoms, turning ont 800 or 400
gallons of syrup per acre. Any cheap
appliance for converting syrup into
sugar would be q public benefit, and
would bring untold wealth to our people.
Rice also does well in the bottoms.
Mr.. Ed Mrrtin showed US a fine sample
of rice raised on his farm near Quitmans
last year. Corn and oats are extensively
grown, but only for home consumption.
The prevailing growth of trees in the
larger portion of the county is
black jack, hickory and postoak.
Little skirts of prairie fringe the western
border; while great forests of shortleaf
pine cover the eastern section. The
of these pineries for lumber
seems well-nigh inexhaustible. Perhaps
it il not too much to say that millions of
feet OF lumber arc sawed at the mills of
this county annually and shipped vest

AMONG those features of The Tribune
Almanac which have contributed to its
unique reputation none is more justly
priced by the public than its depart
ment of political information. In the
variety, extent and accuracy of these
statistics and records The Tribune At-
mGnac is unrivalled. They represent a
vast amount of research, comparison
and computation. They aim, in gener-
al, to give results rather than details
and principles rather than particulars,
but enough of all are presented to af-
ford readers a complete idea of what
public sentiment and public servants
are accomplishing in the United States
year by year. The almanac for 1890
contains among other important matters
of political record, the significant por-
tions of all the platforms of 1889. The
party battles in Massachusetts,, Pennsyl-
vania, Iowa, Ohio, New York, New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Virginia and the new
Northwestern States were contests of
much interest and the principles upon
which they were fought become, there
fore, significant. President Harrison's
admirable inaugural address is printed
in full. Then follow the records of the
various legislative elections. A list of
the members Of the Pan-American Con-
gress is furnished, complete roll OF
the present Congress and of the princi-
pal executive, departmental, judicial
and diplomatic officers of the Govern
ment. From trade and consular reports
a quantity of important statistical in
formation is CLEANED, and most elabor-
ate returns are printed of all the State
elections. AS catalogue of the Alma
macs political contents this statement is
by no means full; it is only suggestive.
The almanac is sent postpaid to any ad-
dress for 25 cents.

IF Mr.. Marquis had been the man of
honor and conscience that some of our
Bourbon contemporaries described him
to be, he would never have consented to
be the beneficiary of one of the most
vicious and disgusting pieces of deviltry
ever perpetrated in Ohio. BY consenting
to accept the Office stolen in such an out
rageous manner from Mr.. Lampson, he
has placed himself on the level of the re-
ceiver of stolen goods, and proving him
self Bourbon of Bourbons.

THE worst condition the the heart of
man can be in is to be empty. 1t is COM
mon mistake to suppose that the needs
and the cravings of the heart can be
wholly supplied to it from outside
sources that all it wants Is the love
and sympathy, the kindness and tender
ness of others poured upon it. A much
deeper need of the heart is to be full of
affection and good will and generous
impulses of its own, to be able to SYM
pathize in others joys and sorrows, to
have such an abundance of rich heart
treasures to bestow that but little
thought of what it is to receive. When
this need is fulfilled, all other blessings
will flow in; for love and sympathy,
while the cravings of a cold and selfish
nature will never be supplied. What
actually does rush in to fill such vacu-
um is suspicion, jealousy, bitterness
perhaps even enmity and hatred.

SENATOR HoAR's bill providing that
throughout the Union Representatives
shall be elected to Congress in and for
the Congressional districts now pre-
scribed by law until new apportion-
ment can be made on the basis of the
census of 1890 is calculated to make
the Democratic gerrymanderers in GER
tain States wear long faces. Should it be-
come law it would deffectually block their
schemes, one of which is to so redris-
trict Ohio as to make sixteen out of its
twenty-one Congressional districts per-
manently Democratic.

WITH the view of ascertaining Repub
lican sentiment throughout the country
in regard to the course of Speaker Reed
and the Republican majority in the
House, the Philadelphia Press addressed
telegraph inquiry to fifteen Republican
Governors, who may fairly be supposed
to know the feeling in their several
States. Eleven responded at once, the
Others being absent from their homes,
and all coincide in commencing Speaker
Reeds rulings, and in saying that he is
sustained by Republican sentiment in
their States. There is no doubt the
same feeling prevails among Republi-
cans everywhere.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

He who desires to be grateful, is so.
The best teachers are love and afflict-
ion.
Kindness, like grain, increases by SOW
ing.
Want of care does more damage than
want of knowledge.
Much of chiId's earliest moral train
ing is by looks and gestures.
Diligence is the mother of good luck,
and God gives all things to industry.
Never give way to melancholy; resist
it steadily, for the habit will encroach.
1t is hard to convince man that he
is not an exception to the general rule.
1t is often easier to obtain favors from
the pride than from the charity of men.
Fortunate, unspeakably fortunate, is
the young man who has home that he
loves.
The rich are more envied by those
who have little than by those who have
nothing.
The man is best served who has no Oc-
casion to put the hands of others at the
end of his arms.
Employment is to man what oil is to
machinery it makes the wheels of exist
ence turn smoothly.
A man of sense is not ashamed of
confessing poverty, but he keeps the
marks of it out of sight.
The mind has more room in it than
most people think, if they would but
furnish the apartments.
When minds are not in unison, the
words of love itself are but the rattling
of the chain that tells the victim is
bound.
AS the sword of the best-tempered
metal is most flexible, so the truly gen
erous are most plant and courteous in
their behavior to their interiors.
