THE RADICAL PARTY
GRAZYR

No one realized until after the
Fifty first Congress was dead what
a tremendous amount of money the
radical leaders were taking out of
the treasury.
The total for the last BE ssion was
over fve hundred and tlOe,sty .tfue MIL
iOns-it is rot yet possible to state
the exact amount that will be called
for by all the bills that were passed.
The total for the two years of the
Fifty-frst Congress Is over thou
sand millions.
This Is what comes of trying to
get rid of the surplus without re-
ducing the tariff. The repu blican
idea is that so long as money is
taken out cf the treasury it does
not make any difference how 1T is
gotten out.
The radical leaders seem to
think that it will help them in the
presidential contest next year to
shoulder the responsibility Of q
treasury def lit.
They believe that they have
rendered any material modification
of the tariff by the next Congress
impossible and that they will be
able to divert the minds of the
people from the tariff issue.
1t is bold scheme surely. 1t
is a desperate scheme. 1t it does
not result in the humiliation OF the
party attempting it, then we mis-
take the temper OF the American
people.
1t is a curious fact that none OF
the republican leaders Ill congress
were willing to present the usual
statement of appropriations at the
end of the session. That was left
to the democrats. In the House
of Representatives Mr.. Dockery,
of Missouri, made a short speech,
setting forth the facts. which every
citizen should read.-National Dem.

AND now that about two hun

ton Is, which will the Italian gov

The Central Tenn essee Insane
Asylum, located near Nashville, was
partially destroyed by fire last week
and eight of the inmates perlshed in
the flames. The burning of a
crowded house always creates con-
sternatlon and disorder, but when
that house is filled with men and
women whose intellects are dethrOn-
ed, who are incapable of selt-pro-
lection, the scene becomes appall-
ing. For four long hours before
the fire engines arrived from the
city, the flames were fought hero
ically under the personal superyis-
ion OF DR.. Calender, the Superin-
tendent, and his assistant, whose force
was composed of the attendants and
some of the less harmless inmates.
AS soon as 1t was discovered that
the building was in danger of de-
struction. the doors of the cells were
opened and the inmates vacated
their apartments as rapidly as
possible. The night was bitter
cold and a heavy snow was falling.
but the nftrtunate lunatics rushed
out into the open air half-clad, and
huddled beneath the trees and
crouched in fence corners until
rescued. Several escaped but were
afte rwards captured. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of
develish cunning lunatic. The
building was insured for SO, 900.
Loss supposed to be $4,000. One
hundred of the inmates were
brought to Bolivar Tuesday evening
and placed in theWestern Hospital.
The legislature appropriated one
thousand dollars to defray the ex-
penses of removal.

SENATOR A. j. COATES.

AS orthodox a democrat as can
be found in the present assembly
is the gentleman whose name APP
pears above and whom the people
of Hardeman County decided upon
as their senatorial representative.
Mr.. Coates is a lawyer by profession,
"A democrat by instinct, education
and ASSOCIATION, and Il statesman in
the breadth of his ideas and the ex-
tent of his learning. 1t has been
often said of him, that upon all
questions he was more nearly al
ways right than any other senator.
He is certainly leYel headed in his
convictions. energetic in his laborS;
and bold and aggressive in his ut
terances. II his ambition Is COM
menSurste with his merits, future
of responsibility and brilliancy
awaits him.-Nashville Herald.
The complimentary manner in
which our representatives are spo-
ken of by the press, and the hOnOrs
showertd upon them by their as
suclates in electing them to positions
of honor, is enough to justify their
constituents in feeling proud of
them.

They had no other alternative ex-
eept to take the law into their own
hands, or allow the Malta to reign

lives of innocent men. 1t Is dam

OUTWARD GOLD MOVEMENT.
SOMEWHAT OF A CHECK IS GIVEN
TO 1T.

NEW YORK, June 30.-The Post
says: Another curious development in
the sterling exchange market today
made an abrupt change in the course
of stock prices One of the most i'm
portant exchange houses appeared un-
expectedly in the market as large
sellers of sight bills. This depressed
sterling rates at once, and will in all
probability prevent the further export
of gold this week, especially as remit
tances for July interest payments on
the other side are now about ended.
This action of Drexel, Morgan & Go.
was not anticipated yesterday by the
banking community, because all nego-
tiations then pointed to profit in buy
ing rather than selling exchange with
a concession in rates. Sales could not
have been made at q profit, but the
market is held at present quotations
or lower for the rest of the week. The
check to the outward gold movement
may not, improbably, prove to be per-
manent. The situation, however,
must continue to be regulated in a
large measure by the attitude of the
London and continental bankers.

MEXICAN MATTERS.
MORE RAILWAY CONCESSIoNs-THE
NEW CUSTOMS TARIFF.


CITY OF MEXICO, June 3O.-Presi-
dent Diaz has just granted to General
Sturin new concession for the circuit
railroad in this city and suburban viii
liges, to connect with Cuernavaca.
The parties who obtained the con-
cession are men slandered by Hender-
son, the Indianapolis lawyer, This
shows that the president places no
credit in the stories against Sturin,
which have been throughly investi-
gated.
The new customs tariff approved by
minister of the treasury, Gomez Farias,
has been sent to the printers, and as
soon as published will go into effect.
No reduction has been made in the
tariff, but the rules are changed so as
to facilitate the entrance of goods into
the country, and many regulations
formerly very onereous to shippers
have been abolished. Gomez Farias is
trying every way possible to favor
commerce and already is very popular
among the merchants.

Man and RnY Killed.

SAN ANTONIO, June 30.-On Friday
evening last Valentine Gisse left
Uvalde for the Samson Bee ranch,
which is located fourteen miles above
the town in the Nueces canyon. He
had with him the Z year old son of
Samson and was driving a two horse
wagon. He was drinking heavily.
The couple did not arrive and search
began yesterday. They were found a
little way off the road, and man and
child were both dead: The wagon lay
on them. The horses had disappeared
Little Samson's head was badly
crushed. 1t is supposed that Giss
killed him in a drunken frenzy ant
then turned the wagon over on him
self. The country is very precipitou
and demands sober driving.

livered most magnificent lecture on
Henry w. Grady at the Chautauqua
tabernacle. DR.. Lee was an intimate
friend of Mr.. Grady, and was fully
able to appreciate the grandeur and
beauty Of his character. The lecture
was one of the most superb displays of
word painting ever presented to San
Marcos audience, which is saying 3
great deal, as our people have had the
best speakers of the land on the lecture
platform.
Rev. E. w. Anderson of Bonham is
here. He lectures today on "The
Evolution of Liberty"
Next Thursday, July 2, is "Press
day" at Chautauqua. A cordial in

wondrous lake with its wealth of lovli
ness. Addresses and musical enter
tainments will be the order of the day.
In the evening the visitors will be
shown around the city in carriages
and taken to the depot in time to
catch the trains if they wish to return
home that night. Several editors and
representatives of newspapers have
written that they will be here.
The normal school opened on the 1st

Professor Jones of Salado, the super
intendent of the normal, has secured
a fine faculty and will do excellent
work.
A wind storm swept over the city
yesterday evening bearing clouds OF
dust on it's sweeping wings, but no
damage was done, save the inconven-
ience Of having eyes, ears, mouths and
nostrils filed with dust. A shower
fell during the night, but soaking
rain is badly needed.
The place is thronged with visitors
and prospectors are looking around
with view to investment in real
estate.
