ISnecial Correspondence of THE INDEPENDENCE
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Mander-
son received a present the other day that
he shows with considerable pride and
amusement at intervals from his duties on
the floor Of the senate. It is only a paper
hat, but it cost more probably than any
headgear ever before made. 1t is In the
shape of an ordinary silk hat and looks not
unlike the ordinary white silk hat worn in
summer by the average we'll dressed man
about town. The Nebraska senator, how
ever, does not expect to wear his new hat
long at a time MOI in any public place. 1t
was made BY one OF his old soldiers, a big
Jolly German named Martin. He stubs
around Washington a pegleg. and makes a
living by manufacturing ~greenback statu-
ary, little pug dogs, slippers, Washington
monuments and busts of various great
men, that tourists buy SO readily when they
visit the capital. The hat for Senator Man
derson weighs twenty ounces-rather too
much for comfort on a hot summer day.
The big cowboy hats that Stetson makes in
New York and ships to Montana and Colo

hats have been known to tip the
beam at sixteen and eighteen ounces.

the best dressedcow-punchers. Senator Man

MINERAL RESOURCES oFTEXAs.

To the DAILY LIGHT
The rapid advance made by the State of
Texas up to the present time has been
based almost entirely upon its agricultu-
raj resources, but now another field opens
and spreads before the world a wealth of
mineral which promises to exceed in va
riety, value, quality and ease of working,
that found in any other state.
The attention of capitalists. both home
and foreign, is being directed to these
fields, and the sinking Of mines and erec-
tion of furnaces and factories for the Sc
curing and utilization of the various met
ais and other minerals occurring here are
already in progress.
The following valuable minerals are
found in large, and in some instances,
unlimited quantities: Iron, PetrOlem,
Fire Clay, Coal, KaOln. Hydraulic Lime
stone and Cement materials, Grcensand
MarlS, Glass Sands. Building Stones and
Marbles. Natural Gas. Salt, Manganese,
Gold aud Silver, ASphalum. Bat GuanO.
Milestone Grit, LithOgraph Stones, Min
eral Paints, SOapStOne and Mica.
1t is safe to say that no other state can
boast OF such variety of minerals ard
such opportunities for safe aud profitable
investment.
Information regarding the location. eX-
tent. etc, of any of the above mentioned
minerals will be cheerrully furnished

FASSETT was beaten in New York
because be did not get votes enough.
He elected to make the fight pure and
simple on Tammany instead of on
national issues. AS a result very
little interest was taken in the cleo

are largely republican, it being Con-
sldered a Tammany or anti-Tamma Y
fight in which tn outlying counties

TIE result in New York state is
not so encouraging to the democracy,
as an index of the probable outcome
In 1892. There was falling off from
the vote of 1888 of about So 900 and
this vote was lightest In the republi-
can districts, showing that Fassett
did not poll the full strength of his
party. In the New YORK City pre-.
cincts there was pCrceptible falling
of from the Hill vote of 1888, and a
decided gain to Fassett in these pre-
cincts. The result no doubt fixes
upon New York the bruDt of the
battle next year. She becomes the
pivotal state, and with two candi-
dates for presidential nomination
within the democratic party becomes
particularly ticklish. TO reject both
of these candidates and travel outside
of the state for presiden tial timber is
to invite defeat. TO nominate either
Hill or Cleveland is mighty risky
and about as dangerous as to shelve
them both. New York is the white |
elephant of the democracy. To lose
her is to lose the election in 1892, and |
to hold her vote under existing COM
pllcatiOus seems we'll nigh hopeless.

The extent to which the body can be mu.

what most people think. OF course, the re-
moval of the largest limb is familiar fact;
and, indeed, the successive removal of all
the limbs would result in nothing worse
than inconvenience. But in the same way
internal organs may be extirpated. This
is facilitated by their duality.
One eye may be taken out and the sight
remain practically unimpaired. One kid
ney may be removed, and the other will
make up the loss by doing double work.
