GEN. STEVENSON'S LETTER
A PLAIN, sTATEsMANLIKE PREsENTA-
TON OF NATIONAL ISSUES.
Endorses the Wise Utterances of Grover
Cleveland on the Tariff and Elucidates

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 3O.-Hon.
Adlai e. Stevenson, Democratic candi
date for the vice presidency, has sent
the following letter of acceptance to
the president of the national Demo-
cratic convention:
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 30.
Hon. William L. Wilson, Chairman, ETC.:
When, in presence of 10000 of my
countrymen, [ accepted the honor con-
ferred upon me by the convention
over which you presided, [ promised
to indicate by letter in more formal
manner, my acceptance of the nom
ination rendered me by the assembled
Representatives of the Democratic
party of the United States. Since
that time | have been engaged con-
tinually in discussion before the peo-
pie of many states of the Union of
the issues emphasized by the conven-
ton and represented by our candidate
for president, Grover Cleveland. An
opportunity has thus been denied me
to write with the care l would like the
more formal answer promised your
committee.
A full discussion of public questions
commonly expected from a candidate
for vice president has been rendered
less imperative by the complete pre-
sentation of Democratic creed by the
gentleman with whom | have the
honor to be associated as candidate
on the national ticket. His treatment
of the issues now before the country
for discussion and settlement was so
complete that | can do little more
than endorse his position and give it
the emphasis OF my unqualified APP
provai.
The greatest power conferred upon
human government is that OF taxation.
All the great struggles of the past for
broader political liberty have looked
toward tl. limitation OF their power by

Wood county which will go for Hogg.
Next at Sulphur Springs in Hopkins
county which will go Hogg
by not exceeding 600 votes. Next
at Farmersville, Plano and Kinney in
Collin county, and that tremendous
before-time Hogg stronghold will not
give him more than from 800 to 800
plurality. Next at Jefferson, in Ma

from 700 to geo plurality. Next in
Marshall, in Harrison county. This
county will GO, if the negro vote is

A PLAIN TALK
On Plain Subject in Plain Language.

A winter is just before us with all
of its biting winds, cold, drizzling
rains, sloppy, muddy streets, and sud-
den changes of temperature. This
will cause at least one-half of the peo-
pie to have catarrh, colds, coughs,
pneumonia, or consumption. Thou
sands of people will lose their lives
and tens of thousands will acquire
some chronic ailment from which they
will never recover. Unless you take
the necessary precautions the chances
are that you (who read this) will be
one of the unfortunate ones. Little or
no risk need be run if Pe.ru-na is kept
in the house and at the first appear
ance of any symptom take it as di-

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 91.-Col. A. j..
Houston, Republican candidate for
governor, addressed an audience of
about $50 people here tonight. His
speech was carefully prepared and
touched upon all the issues of the
campaign, but only briefly. He advo-
Gated a railroad commission composed
of a farmer, a railroad man and mer-
chant. He also advocated labor
bureau for the settlement of disputes
between capital and labor. His per-
sonal attacks were all directed against
George Clark and he had not word
to say against Governor Hogg. He
said that he believed there are as
many white Republicans as Demo-
Gratis in Texas and that if Demo-
cratic governor is elected. it would be
by the vote of the Republicans. He
did not predict the success of the Re-
publican ticket in Texas, but scored
the federal office holders in the state
for their unsavory records.

IN HoGG'S OWN DISTRICT.
Major Walton is confident ifviolence
and Intimidation are not resorted to
and If the vote is fairly counted that
the whole tier of counties where Hogg
was born and has lived so long, the
very heart of his stronghold in Texas,
will give George Clark majority of
from 1900 to 1000. He declares Hogg
is beaten beyond question, barring
fraud, by from $4,000 to $4,000 plural
ality. The central committee have
been carefully digesting the
returns sent in by their
agents who were instructed to COM
pile figures most conservatively for
Clark and literally for Hogg and they
report that in $50 counties where
Hogg has been the very strongest,
Clark is $4,000 votes ahead of him.
This carried out through the rest OF
the state will put Clark's plurality
over $1,000 and this he will surely
get.
Major Walton leaves this morning
for Llano where he will speak today
at Burnett Wednesday, at Alvaraoo
Saturday and at our grand Travis
county rally Monday night. He is
doing grand work for the cause.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 3l.-.This was

in the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
receivership investigation which Is

election fund of over SCI 900 expended
in securing the reelection of Judge

only handled $1,000 of the funds. The
afternoon session was devoted to hear
ing the testimony of five San Antonio

Why Flowers Have C,lors.

The late Richard A. Proctor, IN his
'Mystery OIL Colors, says: "The colors
of flowers have been shown by the re-
searches of Sprengel, Fritz, Hermann,
Miller, Darwin, Lubbock and Wallace
to be necessary Cor, rather, to have be-
come necessarily for the attraction of Ger.
tain species Of insects by which the pol
len may be transferred from the stamens
of one flower to the pistils of another and
cross-fertilization effected. Grant Allen,
III his charming little book on the Color
of Flowers hns advanced and supported
by very striking evidence the interesting
theory that the colors of flowers range
in order of development ~ from white,
found in flowers which lay themselves
open for fertilization by miscellaneous
small flies, (2) to yellow found in flowers
which depend on small beetles, (3) to
red, nurple, lilac and blue, found in
flowers which specially bid for the favor
of bees and butterflies. Blue seems to be
the highest development of all, but in
case of retrogression we find the direc-
ton of change altered. In other cases,
where nature Intends that night flying
insects are to do the work of fertilza-
ton we find white colors mainly; this
does not betoiSen inferiority of degencra-
ton, but it is the most suitable color for
that special purpose. Some flowers, for
tunately few in number, have livid rcd
color, resembling that of dead meat,
by which (and by their unpleasant odoD,
they attract the admiring attention of
flesh flies. Luckily, us Sir John Lub-
book has noted and proved, the tastes of
bees and butterflies, the most important
of all fertiizing insects, are akin to the
tastes OF the human species; aud not only
to odor and taste, but as to their pref
erence for lively colors, otherwise we

Lacs Workers.

In the best days of the manufacture of
trolly lace in Devonshire, England, the
women were not the only workers.
Every boy, until he reached the ago of
fifteen and was able to work in the fields,
had to 20 to lace school daily. Sail
ors, on returning from voyage, would
often take up again for time the art of
lace making that they had learned in
childhood.
The unhealthy rooms in which the
crowded female lace workers had to per-
form their task during their apprentice
ship have been in some measure remcdied
in several of the lace making districts,
and better sanitary conditions prevail.
They are not obliged to stoop SO much,
rs the pillows on which they work are
raised higher. In former days children
were treated barbarously in the lace
schools-were obliged, for instance, to
sit certain length of time without NOV
ing from their pillow, aud the lazy ones
were terribly punished.
A lady who has visited many lacd
schools in Devon, says that it might be
desired that some philanthropist would
introduce the infant school system OF all
lowing the pupils to march and stretch
their limbs ut the expiration of every
hour. The children, however, looked
ruddy as the apples in their native orch
ards. Although the lace worker might
IN after life be less robust in appearance
than the farm servant or the Cheshire
milkmaid, her life was far more healthy
than the female operative of the North
ern manufacturing districts.
A good lace maker now makes only
twenty-five cents day in Devonshire.
Many OF the shops pay one-half in money,
the other twelve and a half cents being
taken out in ten or clothing, often sold
considerably above their value. Then
other manufacturers pay their lace makers
altogether in groceries. In case of illness,
or from any other reason, lace maker
asks for an advance in cash, she is OBJ
liged to pay usury by working out
tweuty-eight for each twenty five cents
she gets. Brooklyn Citizen.
