 The homestead law of Texas sometimes acts harshly for creditors. A letter from Austin says that cattleman failed a short time ago and the creditors took possession of the property, subject to attachment. The mans family live in a house for which they have been offered $50,0 The price asked is $75, ,000. This is made possible by the peculiar homestead exemption law of Texas. The the homestead is defined to be a piece of ground costing not more than $5,000 and and whatever improvements there may be thereon. In this case the residence is the finest in the city where it is located. It is one of the finest in Texas. It cost more than $50, 900, but it is entirely out of reach of the creditors of the estate It is therefore easy for man in Texas to tie up fortune in his homestead
 An entire commune in France, that of Murat, has gone over bodily to Protestant ism. The Bishop of Cahors was asked to grant the right to hear two masses instead of one every Sunday in the parish church, as many had to go long distance, and it often was inconvenient to set out early He refused in what seemed to them naughty terms, saying that, as Christ submitted to be crucifed for their sakes, if they could not get out of their beds early in the morn ing to be in time for church they were not worthy of the name of Catholics. This caused great offence. A public meeting was held on the church green, and peti- tion was sent to the Minister of Public Worship to give the commune Protestant pastor. A Protestant clergyman was se- cured, who, when he went to preach his first sermon in an improvised temple, found there an enthusiastic congregation of hundred persons

 The nine lady managers resident in Chi cago, called together by Mrs. Potter Pal mer have decided to establish model sani- tary kitchen in the Woman's building at the exposition. An effort will be made by special entertainment or otherwise, to raise the $4,000 necessary for the pur- pose.
 Dr. John E. Owen, the medical director of the exposition, has promised Mrs. Pot ter Palmer that women shall receive off cial recognition upon the medical staff. The number to be appointed has not yet been announced, but assurance has been given that women physicians will profes- sionally rank equal with men, and share the duties of the e1position hospital.

TEACHIN THE PEOPLE.


 Such political campaigns as those which ended yesterday in New York, Ohio and Massachusetts cost good deal Of money. They also require the drinking of a good deal of rum. any quantity of loose and vio- lent talk, much betting, etc., etc. But they have value which is often over looked, and that is their educational value. This idea could hardly be better put than it is by the New York Sun, which says: Meantime the great mass of the honest and conscientious people have received the instruction in politics and as to the actual management of public affairs which only such campaign can afford. The thousands of meetings, the discussions of clubs, and the daily lessons of the newspapers have been for them school of political instruc- tion, broadening and enlightening their minds. They have been lifted above sordid and selfish interests, and they have learned itician and an intelligent student of poli- tics. A political campaign such as this has been does more for the education of the people in a few weeks than years of instruction by any other means can accom- plish, for it reaches students eager to learn, and they are made up of the whole community. It disseminates political information in every direction, spreads abroad the comprehension of political principles and cultivates the popular ca pacity for political criticism. However great may be the ignorance about other matters, man would have to search far among the citizens of New York to find any who are ignorant of the issues which the election to-day will settle.
 Of course the Sun does not mean that the kind of political education which is useful in New York city is very good thing, but it is true that honest and con- scientious men can and do learn great deal in lively political campaign.

A Democratic View.

Whatever may be thought of Mr..
Harrison as a political leader, he has
certainly shown a keen desire to keep
in touch with the Republican party,
in striking contrast TO the last lsepub-
lican President who undertook the
delicate task of swinging round the
circle This was Andrew johnson.
whose "intemperatc, inflammatory.
and s~candalous harangucs," as they
were termed in Il of the articles of
impeachment, must, indeed, have been
little like the wcll-chosen and diplo-
matte phrases of Mr.. Harrison, that
bv their kindliness and freedom from
all spirit of aggression have disarmcd
even the criticism of party opponents.
Ii can not be doubted that the
President has by this tour materially
strengthened the hold of the Republi-
cans Oh the people, and. incidentally,
his own hold upon the party as a all
didatc tor denomination. lie has
smoothcd down many internal f~actional
differences, and has given proof of
much political sagacIty in avoiding in
his trip those dcbatable States OF the
East that were carried by the Repub-
licans in 1883 only by reason of the
nnpopularity of his opponent.
BENJAMIN Harrison is not a popular
man. but he has succeeded in great
measure IN rcuniting his party, and
that is no small achievement for a
President, even if he has TO travel
10000 miles to do it. There have
been Democratic standard bearers, il
is worth remembering. who were
unable TO do as much in journeys of
almost as great a mileage, and others
who, according TO their ardent ad-
mirerS, are unwilling TO move a step
tor the advantage of the party. if at
the expense of their own personal
comfort.

This habit is quite common, and it
is shared by men of the highest pow
ers. Compassion must be felt for a
man who would like TO perform some
immortal feat in the way of abstract
thought, but is prevented by a mind
that plays truant on slight provoca-
ton. The poor victim may console
himself by thinking that the cross
which he bears in life has been sor-
rowfully carried by many men of pos
tive genius, and he may solace his
harmless vanity by fanoying that his
mental excursions into the land of
dreams arc akin to the freaks ofgenius.
One very delicate question comes up
in this connection, and it is, what is
the essential difference between the
abstraction of the man of science or
science or the poet and the wool
gathering of the average muddlcd
citizen?
