An Easy Way 10 Out Glass.

st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
One can cut glass with scissors as easily as
though it were an autumn leaf. The entire
secret consists In plunging the pane of glass
into tub of water, submerging also the hands
and the scissors. The scissors will cut in
straight lines, without flaw. This result is
achieved in consequence of the absence of
vibration. II the least portion of the scissors
is left out of the water the vibration Will pre-
vent the glass cutting.

Miss Alice MacGowan's Journalistic Sue
cess-Her Sketches to be Printed
in Book Form.
Chattanooga Times.

Miss Alice MACEDONIAN, whose brilliant
letters from New York have been delight
ing the readers of the Sunday Times for
some months past, has returned for a
needed vacation and to spend the heated
term with her family on Mission Ridge
Miss MACEDONIAN, besides working on a
more serious literary undertaking through
the summer, will be a regular contributor
to two of the best New York syndicates
Her work has commanded immediate recog-
milton and commentator wherever Shown.
So much above the average run of newspa-
per matter are her Texas and North Caro-
lima sketches rated that many persons COM
petent to speak in such matters have ad-
vised that they would make attractive vol
umes. and suggested the bringing of them
out in that form, which will probably be
done later.
1t Is not vet one year since Miss Mac
Gowan made her first venture in the field
of professional journalism. She stands
now where she has a ready market, in the
best metropolitan dailies, for all her work
at remunerative prices. The first New
York syndicate with which she made con-
tract paid her the highest rates per
column ever paid by them to any contrib
utor, with the exception of one man, a
veteran writer in the field of literary
journalism. Miss MacGowan's success,
won in so short a time, and solely upon
the merits of her work, is little less than
phenomenal. and as Chattanooga girl
Chattanooga is justly proud of her.

THE VIRTUE OF POVERTY.

Speaking to large crowd of listen
ers, President Polk OF the Farmers
Alliance told them that he had nothing
to say against the bankers for using
their power to Cypress the poor. He
would be a banker himself, if he
could His war was not on the bank
ers. but on the laws that gave them the
power to Cypress.
We have heard the same thing said
at other times and places by men who
appear not TO have measured the mean
ing of their words. In effect it is this:
Here are set of laws that give GER
tain men the power to be unjust and
tyrannical, to Cypress their fellows and
keep them in poverty. | do not blame
men who seize the advantage that
these laws give them. | would be one
OF them myself. if | could-that is, if |
had enough money I, too, notwith-
standing [ am forbidden to do such
things by the Ten Commandments, by
the teachings of Christ, OF morality
and OF philosophy, and by the instincts
of humanity would, if L were able.
be as unjust, selfish, grasping, merci-
less and oppressive as any one of these
men whom | have been telling you of.
The only thing that keeps me from be-
ing as big rascal as any of them is
that [ have not the opportunities that
they have. As [ have not those oppor-
tunities, and can't be that kind of
rascal myself I want these laws re-
pealed that give to others such ad-
vantage"
That is the logic of it. The lesson
that Mr.. Polk and others who utter
such sentiments teach to their hearers
is not one OF exalted morality. Their
denunciations of the national banking
law would carry greater force if they
taught that it was wrong to do the
things that unjust laws gave them the
power to do. To abstain from doing a
wrong because it is wrong is more COM
mendable than to so abstain on account
of necessity.
The GAZETTE cannot see that
the national banking law is very bad
thing in itself. nor that taking ad-
vantage of it is any wrong. We dare
say the gentlemen who compose the
officers. directors and stockholders in
the national banks of this country can
compare with any class for honesty,
liberality and humanity. But the view
that Mr.. Polk and those who see as he
does take of the banking law is such as
that they cannot make such a confess
sion as he does without admitting that
they would. if they could, be all that
they are denouncing. They are only
saved to virtue by the pressure Of pow.

AFrER TWO YEARs.

When Grover Cleveland, Democrat,
went out of office, and Benjamin Har-
rison. Republican, stepped in and took
charge of the books, the treasury was
Overlooking with millions of money.
The thing that bothered the Democrats
more than anything else was, how to
reduce the surplus. Too much money
was piling up in the treasury to suit
them. They couldn't get rid of it.
That was little more than two years
ago. The Republicans have solved the
problem that puzzled the Democrats.
The money is gone. The treasury is
bare. A billion-dollar congress did
the work.
There is s23, 2S1. 161 of the govern
ment's money deposited in national
banks. but it cannot be drawn out at
this time without great danger of ere
ating financial disturbance. There
is $50. $4,000 OF fractional silver on
hand, but as it is not legal tender for
the payment of sums in excess of SO,
it cannot be counted on in meeting
obligations. Exclusive OF these two
items, there is about l.250. 900 in the
treasury, with drafts against it Of more
than that amount.
Such is the result OF two years OF
Republican financiering.

some plan must be devised by which
the legal tender can be gotten from the

combined wisdom of the Democratic
masses be brought to bear in discus

have to be discussed, as Mr.. Cleveland

IF Eastern Democrats think that by

entitled to dictate the platform of
principles, the South and West will
undeceive them. They will not permit
Southern and Western Democrats to

REALTY AND BUILDING.

WILL SET IN.
The. Arlington Heights Hotel Project.
The Iron Rolling Mil to be at
Work in August.

The hot weather has had something of a
deterrent effect on real estate for few
days, out it is now beginning to revive.
One of the most conservative men in Fort
Worth said yesterday that in sixty days
there would be a revival in all lines of bust
ness, and before that time business would
materially improve. The movement of peo-
pie TO Texas from the North will begin in
September, but our Southern cousins will
come earlier than this, some in July and
some in August. The reports of rain in
some counties in this section make it GER
tain that the corn crop will be fair, and
this, added to the large yield of wheat and
oats, will add to our prosperity. A good
general rain now would make a large crop
of corn, and that would mean thousands of
fat hogs which would be brought here to be
killed and packed.
The mills here, with their 100 barrels
of flour per day capacity. are nearly ready
for business, and when they start the fires
will not be permitted 10 die out for months
to come.
There were several loans made on Fort
Worth real estate yesterday, aggregating
S625l. There We're also several releases of
vendors lien notes.

manned undated, and the Wilson's had
to invoke police protection to reach
their carriages in safety. But after a
few nights sleep on the matter: the sky
changed and the contagion spread like
a fatal epidemic, until all England was
infected, and the prince would hardly
have escaped the terrible lombard
ment had he been as far distant as the
north star.
One would naturally infer from the
hullabaloo raised that before the revela-
tons of the trial the people of Great
Britain looked upon the prince as a
man of irreproachable morals and the
noblest conduct; that they had for
gotten all about, or rather had never
heard OF, the celebrated Mordaunt case

them all perfectly. and, what is more,
had forgiven them with all their
hearts. The prince of the baccarat
trial was the same old prince of the
Mordaunt trial, acting in a slightly
modified and less offensive role. He
has not changed. save as advancing
years compel. Hence the seeming
snobbery and the canting morality heard
from Berwick to Lands End. People
that appeared Indifferent to the scan
dalous revelations of the Cleveland
street immoralities make very ridic-
ulous figure when tearing their linen
over cheating at cards.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST WALES

What singular phases OF public opin-
ion. and what curious revulsion of
public feeling have resulted from the
celebrated baccarat trial in London.
The eruption that has followed that
| curious and flashing tableau was wholly
| unexpected. The shower of mud. Gin
| ders and ashes precipitated by it on the
head of n. r. H. the Prince of Wales
was and is-for the volcano is still ac-
tive-something terrible. In century
past. the capricious, volatile and ex
citable populace of Paris or France,
where such explosions are not wondered
at, have not been guilty of such sud-
den, capricious and vehement outburst
of public sentiment as this. Not only
the sectaries and the non-conformist
pulpits. the Radical and Liberal press.
but the Tory newspapers also criticised
thesdisclosures of the trial and rained
hot shot on the prince. From every
side came vigorous and scathing de-
nunciation, and from no side. worthy
of mention. came any adequate de-
Tense or apology for the princes con-
duct. The courtier and the sycophant
were nowhere in the storm. Their
voices could not be heard, and the
princely victim was forced to bide the
pelting OF the pitless storm without the
aid OF a friendly hand to shelter him.
What change was here, my coun-
trymen. from that generous loyalty to
rank and SEX that marked the car
riage and sentiments of the audience
that sat through the trial. They
sneered at the Wilson's as common
set who wanted to destroy gallant
soldier. Gordon Cumming. But when
Sir Edward Clarke used language not
complimentary to the prince, what
scowls and frowns and murmured dis
APPROPRIATIONS were seen and heard. It
was all right to hit the Wilson's, but
rank treason to hint word against the
prince. Even when the trial was ended
and all was known concerning the bac-
carat business. loyalty TO the prince. re-

INTERNATIONAL LAW.

10 the average mortal unframed III
such matters, there appear to be some
funny kinks in international law. Per-
haps it is by the aid of such funny
business that ministers, ambassadors
and diplomatic agents find their Occu-
| patton so interesting and the field for
intellectual fencing SO inviting.
In the Cutting case of two or three
years ago, nice question OF interna-
| tional law arose, which, in connection
| with the facts and circumstances of
| Cuttings arrest and trial by Mexican
authorities for libeling Mexican citi-
zen in the United States, caused a
lively commotion in this country for a
few days. Secretary Bayard questioned
the right under international law of the
Mexican government to try and punish
a citizen of this government, though
captured in Mexico for an offense not
committed there.
Now the same question in modified
form is up again. This time the Of
tenders are not citizens of the United
States. but MeXicanS who crossed over
to Texas and attempted to murder and
rob rancher. On their return to
Mexico they were arrested by the au-
thorities of chihuahua and put upon
trial for the offense mentioned. One
would naturally suppose that there
could possibly be nothing wrong about
promptly to work to punish citizens Of
Mexico for crimes committed against
citizen of the United States. That APP
pears to be a very proper and com
mendable thing to do, one based upon
the principles of justice, as well as
agreeable to international comfy and
those feelings of friendliness and good
Relationship that ought to prevail be-
tween the people on either side of
the border. If the Mexicans had
done less: if they had failed
to take any action in the
premises. or to punish the culprits,
would not the people this side of the
Rio Grande have a right to complain,
and to charge the Mexican authorities
with criminal negligence and conniving
at crime against foreign citizens? That
would appear to be the common-sense
view of it in the absence of extradition
laws.
But whether it be common sense or
not, it is not good international law,
and the government at Washington
is said to have its eagle eye on the trial
in progress at Chihuahua. What it
will do if the prisoners should be found
guilty and punished is not known. Per-
haps nothing more than to.use it as an
illustration of the need for change in,
the Mexican law as applied in such
cases-the Mexicans claiming the
right to punish a citizen for crime
committed in another corntry-and for
an extradition treaty. If such proceed
ings as that in progress at chihuahua
be wrong, it is high time that some
better understanding should be had be-
tween the governments of the two
countries for the prevention and pun
iShment of crime.
