The ReichstaE's Work

When the reichstag resumes its sittings
on November II the social purity bill,
the Austrian and Italian commercial
treaties, and the demand for new
military credits, will constitute the principal
business to be considered. The military
credits, which it is expected will amount to
1S0, ZOO, 900 marks, will be distributed over
several years, and will be asked on the
ground that there is a necessity for reform
in the artillery service and changes in the,
clothing outfit of the army.
The question as to whether the new can
non should be made of bronze or steel has
been decided in favor of steel. The ex-
tended use of guns Of small caliber has also
been decided upon. There will also be pre-.
sented to the reichstag, a report advising en-
largement of the navy and increasing the
number of ships in German waters and
South American and Chinese stations.
The report that treaty is being negoti-
ated with the United States involving re-
ciprocity in treatment of American grains
and pork, and German sugar and other pro-
ducts, excites the anger of the agrarian
party. Their opposition to commercial
treaties will be redoubled in the reichstag
if treaties of Austria and America are pre-
scented simultaneously. The Centrists, who
hold the balance of voting power, will be
with difficulty induced to support the gov-
ernment proposals having this wide range

RELIGIOUS CONSERVATISM.

The conservatism of the church is
proverbial. It clings to old forms,
traditions and ideas with firmnes5
often amounting to stubbornness. There
is very ample apology for this in the
statement that religion, unlike politics,
cannot shift its base or trim its sails
with every change OF opinion or altera-
ton in the relative conditions of life.
This is doubtless true of fundamentals,
but where the question is one of disci-
pline, and not OF dogma, of ways and
means, so to speak, and the agencies
needful in the Christian propaganda,
may it not be otherwise? In the most
highly civilized nations very few things
are done as they were a few genera
tions ago. New and improved cults
and methods have been adopted and
made necessary. They come without
opposition, because they are the natu-
raj outgrowth OF what is termed prog
ress.
The relation of woman to secular
work, to the daily routine of life, has
undergone radical change. She now
does multitude of things, and does
them well, for which she was once held
to be untitled. The all-important work
of educating the young is largely mo-
nopolized by her, to say nothing of her
activity in osler walks of life. In the
church her services are invaluable. but
confined mainly to the Sunday-schooi
and the dime social, the humblest forms
of church work. She aspires to things
higher, but is held back by the Pauline
conservatism that controls the minds of
the hierarchy. The question of adj
hitting her as a delegate was argued
with heat and temper at the last gen.
eral conference of the Methodist
church, and left undecided. The coun-
Gil of the Methodist church, in session
at Washington City, argued the other
day about her fitness for pulpit work in
very earnest manner, and this, too,
in spite of the fact that in numerous
instances both in this country and in
Europe women have been ordained and
indicted into the pulpit, and are doing
excellent work both as pastors and
evangelists. The dogmatism OF Paul
the Bachelor still largely governs the
minds of the ministry, and enforces
sociological form that may have been
well enough 1000 years ago, but that
cannot long hold out against the new
conditions that are now combating it.
There is a woman's rights question in
religion as there is in politics, but of
more seemly character, and there is
but little doubt that its evolution will
ultimately override the conservatism
that seeks to prevent or impede it.

"sTRAw" DEMOCRATS.

The Waco Day thinks that ''the
Bosque county Democratic resolutions
are but straw showing how the wind
blows. 1t will be gale before it is
over Mr.. Finley is certain to hear
from the people in protest to his pro-
posed reading out of men who are as
good Democrats as he is"
The "Bosque county Democratic
resolutions" were the product of six
teen sub-treasuryites, who, by resolu-
tion adopted by the order to which
they bear allegiance, are pledged to
oppose any candidate for any flee un-
less he accepts the Ocala demands as
his creed.
Those Democratic" resolutions
which the Day looks upon as straw
showing which way the wind blows,
contained. among other things, this:
I'VE, the Democracy Of precinct No. A,
heartily approve the platform of prin-
ciples as set forth at Ocala, Fla, De-
cember, 1890" And this, notwithstand-
ing the Democratic state convention of
Texas has declared against the SUBJ
treasury idea as contained in the Ocala
platform.
The Day can find ''straws'' enough, if
it is looking for straws. There is one,
for instance, in the resolutions adopted

iams was Weakened by some noise in her

lady who was sleeping withher, sprang out
of bed and rushed to the crib in which her
baby was sleeping. Just as she reached the
baby she received pistol shot which
entered just beneath the collar bone, near
the left shoulder. The pistol was so near
her body that her garments were burned.
She sank to the floor, and the man was
seen by her companion to escape through
a window which he had raised from the
outside and propped up with stick,
climbing up on wheelbarrow to enter
Mrs. Williamson lived till l o'clock this
morning and expired. To make matters
worse, Mayor Williamson is absent. The
man was not recognized in the dark, nor is
his color even known. Much excitement

$1,000 reward for the apprehension of the
murderer.

German colonists in the ADMINISTRATOR

epidemics of scurvy and typhoid fever
Starving peasants attack houses and all
other buildings in which they are likely

An Injustice to S. 4. CoRxin.

A report in the Fort Worth GAZETTE that
Leon s. H. Blum Of Galveston had attached
the land of S. r. Coggin, and that Coggin
was member Of the firm of w. F. Hearne
g. Co., that had made an assignment, does
injustice to one of our staunchest citizens.
Mr.. Coggin is not member of the firm of
W. +. Hearne s. Co., and does not own any
property with Hearne. At one time he and
Hearne did own a tract of land jointly, but
a division was made some time since, and
he has no interests in common with Hearne.
Mr. Coggin is one of our wealthiest citizens
and the report does him decided wrong,
