TEXAS JOURNALISM.

Athens, Henderson county-The Athens
Review, in its editorial department, has
changed hands. 1.-THE Athens publishing
company will hereafter control and direct
its columns, the owner of the Press pub
fishing the paper for salary. The new
editor is an old newspaper man, one well
known throughout the state as an able,
spicy, versatile writer and an unfiinching,
uncompromising Democrat. The paper
may therefore be expected to, as it IN
doubtedly will, preach pure Democratic
doctrine, making it hot for the sub-treas-
ury and Third party men in this county. As
the paper does not itself give his name,
withhold it.

JAMES \. GARFIELD was regarded, says
the Harrisburg Patriot, as a level-head-
ed man during his life, but when twenty
years ago he predicted that the expen-
ditures from the National treasury on
account of pensions would gradually de
crease he did not forsee the recklessness
with which governmental affairs are be-
ing managed these days. At the time
General Garfield made this statement
S34, 443, ,S95 were paid out in pensions,
but as the result of the arrears of pen
sions act and other measures, the pen
sion outlay amounting to S35, 900, 600
in 1879, to nearly S57, 900, 900 in 1880,
to S66, 600, 600 in 1883, TO S75, 600, 600
1887, to $50, 500, 900 in 1883, ss7, GOO
600 in 1889, to S1OG, goo, 600 in 1890, to
nearly S127 600, 600 for the current year.
That millions of dollars of this stu
pendous sum find their way into the
pockets of bogus pensioners and claim
agents can not be doubted, but SO long
as the people permit the mOnopolistiC
party to remain in power they must eX-
pect their money TO be shamefully
wasted. But, thank heavens, the next
House is likely to force President Harri-
son to clean out the rotten pension de
partment much as he may dislike to DC
50.

Mr.. GIADsToNE's speech at Hastings
on Tuesday, says the Pittsburg Post, has
all the vigor and freshness characteristic
Of the grand old man. One point he
makes clear and emphatic, and that is
that the English Liberals viii have moth
ing to do with Mr. Parnell as an Irish
leader. IF there had been no divorce
revelations, he said, home rule would
have meant making Mr. Parnell the con
stitutional ruler of Ireland, but rs mat
tiers stand the Liberals ..are ready to
face defeat, exclusion from power and
political misfortune, but will not create
constitutional leadership for Ireland
under such guidance That IS final :"
This uncrompromising declaration,
with what Dir. Gladstone says as to the
continued devotion Of the Liberals to
home rule, viii have and should have a
great effect on Irish opinion Par
nells star seems 10 have been waning of
late and this viii probably make an end
Of his pretensions. 1t is condition
and not a theory that faces the Irish
people

Many Lives Lost.

GIBRALTAR, March 1.-THE British
steamship Utopia, from Italian ports,
bound to New York with 700 Italian
emigrants aboard, collided to-day with
the British ironclad Rodney, anchored
in Gibraltar bay and sank soon afterward
off Ragged Staff. A southwest gale was
blowing at the time of the collision.
Many women and children were
drowned. A large number clinging to
the rigging have been rescued by the
boats from the channel squadron. In
tense excitement prevails on shore.
On entering the bay the Utopia before
colliding with the Rodney ran into the
British ironclad Anson. The Utopia
sank within a few minutes. Boats were
Immediately lowered from the British
ironclad and also from the Swedish man
of-war Freya. These boats rescued $50
people who are now on board the vari-
Gus vessels. Many others who were
rescued are located in government build
ings on the shore. Ii is reported that
the crew of the Utopia were saved but
that over two hundred persons perished.

FoR the past several weeks the efforts
or the Chairman of the Republican
county committee and the Deputy In
ternal Revenue Collector for this district,
seem to have been dir ected to creating
the impression among the applicants
for liquor licenses that it would be a
good thing to stand well with the afore-
said Chairman and Deputy Collector.
During the present week the Deputy
Collector has bsen running back and
forth as n kind of missionary between
the godly and ungodly-between the
Chairman of the Republican county
committee and the applicants for license
and the motions Of the Chairman and the
Deputy Collector as they stood aside,
within sight of the anxious applicants
and whispered words Of wisdom, were
intended to be interpretated as being
portentous for good or evil to the would
be dispensers of alcoholic beverages.
We trust the Successful applicants for
license viii feel deeply grateful to this
pair of worthless and keep them in re-
membrance when they call around dur
ing the coming summer and Fall. II
they can bring themselves to the belief
that they were befriended by the Chair

Reviews have two purposes: To fix
what has been learned and to group and
classify IT. Repetition is the teachers
stronghold. There should be daily repeti-
tion of what has been learned 1t fixes it
fu the mind. Day by day the pupil adds a
little TO what he already knows. As the
time passes, this should be firmly fixed in
the mind by review. The general prin-
ciples ought to be picked up in the review
and classified As a general reviews his
army, 40 ought a child review what he has
passed over during q school term. in order
that he may get full view of it, We
think II the most important time of all the
term. Much has been learned in pieces
disconectedly. Now the parts OF a subject
are seen In their relation 10 one another.
See that your child Is in school every
day for the reviews. If he is, there is very
little danger Of his failing to be promoted
Parents become somewhat careless
during the last two or three weeks OF
the term, the review period, and then when
their children fail TO be promoted, they are
dissatisfied. II your child Is in the school
every day, there will be no cause of dissat-
isfaction after the promotions are made
This year we will give TO each pupil a
printed promotion certificate. stating pro-
motion or non-promotion, the grades oi
the final examination, and the number Of
days attended during the term.

Ili. e.c,acn Of Geucri} Palmer 20 -,
United States Senate by the Legislature
Of Illinois, saws the Philadelphia Herald,
has greatly strengthened the opinion that
favors the selection of Senators in Con
greSs by popular vote. In the last cam
paign in that State both parties put for
ward favoritee for the Senatorship-
There was no law to sustain the action,
but il served to secure an expression Of
sentiment on the subject. General
Palmer received a substantial majority
Of the votes, and, after long contest IN
the Legislature the verdict of the people
! has been confirmed by the lawfully CON
! stituted means.
/ Just previous TO the Scranton Conven-
! ton last Simmer several esteemed Dem
/ ocratic contemporaries favored the nom
ination Of a candidate for United States
Senator. The idea was well received,
and no doubt would have been adopted
bv the convention, but FOX the fact that
the Republicans would not agree to
put n favorite in the field, and 1t Is OBJ
vious, therefore, that the movement
would be valueless. The naming of
candidate would have indicated the
! Democratic preference in the event that
that party carried the Legislature, but
nothing more, because, with no Repub-
Ican in the field, it would have been
claimed that there was no contest on the
question.
But it can be arranged in future II
this State, just as it was in Illinois last
fall The majority vote will not carry
with it the certificate of election. But
the nomination viii convey the choice
of the party and the subsequent vote
will give the voters a chance to instruct
the Legislators in an unequivocal man
ner 1t is to be hoped that the party
managers viii prepare for such test IL
the future.

Editor COnbrid Freeman:
SIR:-Will you kindly give me space in
your invaluable paper 10 answer certain
charges made against me as president Of
the Farmers Alliance Of Cambria county.
which appeared in the Galiitzin Vindicu-
tor OF last week. over the signature of"Far-
mer?" am charged with working in the
interests OF certain Democratic politicians
known as the Court House ring" Also,
Of having designs OF securing some fat Of
hce by hlindfolding the farmers 10 secure
that end by political flibustering, etc.
The writer Of the article referred TO. in
sptred by certain consprators. and he
himself having an axe to grind. Il well
known to me and had he signed his name
10 the article 40 reply would have been
necessary.
Tho actions OF the Farmers Alliance OF
Cambria county so far are above reproach.
Every member OF our organization knows
that no word or act OF the officers could be
construed as fsvorIng any Court House
ring or any Democratic aspirant Our or
ganization IS not on the market and can
not be bought 10 favor any candidate or
any party. In December last the president
of the Wage Garner Alliance addressed
letter TO me asking my views about form
| ing an alliance with us. replied stating
| l would meet them al Gallitzin Immediate
" after Court ad djourned. did so and was
| met al the station by j. w. Kilduff who
| estorted me to the room where the confer
! ence took place. l expressed my views
| fully but gave them 10 understand that
| they were simply my own personal views.
! promised 10 lay their views before our
| meetings. meeting was called at Car
| rolltown in January. was there but the
roads drifted shut the same day, so that
| only four men turned out Another day
| was named three weeks later. but by q
mistake / went o soon. l then appointed
February 27th as the date for holding the
| next meeting. but when the time arrived
| got sick and was unable to attend. The
| Farmers Alliance of Carrolltown is not
our affair and in my judgment was a mis-
| take. II the Wage Workers Alliance
| could not wait until we could take action
on their proposition, we hold our organiza-
| tion as cut loose from further considera-
! ton of their proposition. This communf-
! cation is for the information CT the Far
! mers' Alliance OF Cambria county and all
i Others interested in our movement.

Win the tariff at the top notch. the

stating that having ten children of his

OF the Educational Committee, opposed
the resolution because the Elwood bill,
