Houston Post:
A msjority of the delegates to the
Brussels monetary conference do not
appear to understand the silver ques-
ton at all. There are some third
party papers in this country that
could enlighten them without half
trying.
Sherman Register
1t is time to let up on the talk about
the injury that HOgg has done the
state. Stop directing the attention of
strangers TO it. We have him OH our
hands for two years more and we
may IS we'll make the best of it. Don't
show yQur weak points outside of the
family.
Galveston News:
1t might be a good idea not to have
anv separate court or police at all for
cities aud towns, leaving the enforce
ment of the law entirely to the state
authorities and reducing municipal
government down to sn advisory
board of business men with power 10

Brennan Banner:
Certain of the fruits of their in
dustry, ingenuity and frugalty, the
southern people are ripe for progress
sive movement in many branches OF
commercial, industrial and agricul-
tural activity. But they will not
have the field all to themselves. The
south being safe again, millions OF
of northern and western capital will
seek profitable investments here and
thousands Of energetic men from
north of the Potomac and the Ohio
will carry new methods to enlarge
the volume and vary the character OF

Gov. st. John has a good word to
say OF Jay Gould's generosity. Evi-
dences multiply that Gould contrib
uted largely to charity, but he for
got to send around word to the news

of worldwide fame.
Tyler DEM Reporter:
The calamity howlers' voices grow
weak amid the din and roar Of the
onward march of prosperity and the

Floresville Chronicle.
There is strong probability that,
before the next presidential election,
the constitution OF the United States
will he so amended that the president
and vice president will be elected by
q direct vote of the people. Also that
United States senators will be chosen
the same way. The people are the
source of all authority, in arepubllcsn
form of government, and can be safe
Iy trusted to properly manage their
own affairs.
Waco News:
Cleveland received $4,000 more votes
than Governor HOgg in Texas, and
these represented the democrats that
cast their votes for Clark. The bal
ance OF Clark's vote was drawn from
the republican party. Now, is it not
ridiculous and absurd in the highest
degree, for the Clark iOssers to main.
tain that none are deserving OF the
name of democrats but such whilOm
democrats as voted for Clark.
Fort Worth Gazette:
Hunters, gun clubs and citizens
who want our game preserved, should
take active steps for its protection.
The present law on the subject should
be amended and enforced. But little
attention is now paid to 1t anywhere.
Violators of it should be reported and
officers should do their duty. All of
these things may be secured with
little effort from those who love the
chase.

Amnestr A.ked Coz polrramIsts.

A petition praying that amnesty be
granted members of the Mormon church,
convicted for practicing polygamy in viola
ton of the Edmunds-Tucker act, has been
sent to the president. Il is signed by Gov
ernor Thomas, president, and members OF
the Utah commission, judges of the terri
torial courts and other Federal officials.
This piece of news became public to-day at
a meeting of the senate committee on terri
tories to hear argument in favor of Senator
Faulkner's bill providing local self-govern-
ment for Utah.
The hearing was very interesting and
spicy, by reason of the sensational charges
made against the Utah commission and
the governor of the territory, a. L.
Thomas.
The first speaker, C. C. Richardson, a
prominent young lawyer of Salt Lake City,
was very positive in his statements con-
corning the alleged untitness of the Federal
officials in Utah for administering the law
of the territory, and charged them with
prejudice growing out OF ignorance Of the
facts.
The last polygamous marriage under the
Mormon church, he said, took place in 1885.
Polygamy would not exist if local self-gov-
eminent were given to Utah. when the
Federal officials of the territory signed the
amnesty petition how could it be said that
the people were not ready for self-govern-
mentl''
F. S. Richards. a lawyer of Salt Lake
City, and prominent in affairs there, told
the committee that the Mormon church
acted honestly in prohibiting polygamy,
and that no plural marriages now received
the sanction of the church. Mr. Richards
said corruption was not charged, but the
Federal officials would have acted differ
emily had they not been prejudiced.

How Kate Field Looks.

While it is true that Miss Kate Field is
located in Washington permanently, 1t IS
also true that she skips about the country
so often that she may be said to be resi-
dent of either San Francisco, Chicago or
New York. Few women have been as
privileged to enjoy the friendships of as
many famous men and women. She is one
who impresses the forcefulness Of her own
personality on every one with whom she
speaks She has a clear, incisive voice, a
cnarmingly frank manner and an interroga-
ton point constantly at her tongues end.
If she does not like a person she makes him
understand it without giving offense. Ii
some statement is made in her presence
that she does not indorSe, she has no hest
fancy in making known her own position
Yet she does this in such quiet unobtru-
sive way that no one can find fault her.
In addition to being clever and forcible
writer, she is also patient student of the
drama She appeared on the stage once In
she was not a success, but she continues to
study dramatic works and she is cousid--
cred one of the ablest writers on the drama
in this country. One thing greatly in her
favor in her newspaper work, is that she
knows what she is writing about She has
Travelled all over America and Europe
many times, and she is on friendly terms
with the great public men OF both contin-
ents.
In appearance Miss Field is short of
stature, but as straight as an Indian. Her
beams with intelligence. She has firm
mouth, and eyes that seem to penetrate the
very hearts of those about her. Her hair,
a trile gray, falls gracefully over her fore
head in slight bang. She is one of the
best women speakers have ever listened to.

An Alabama Man Camping on
the Judges Trail.
SERIOUS CHARGES ARE MADE
Against Judge hccormick-He is Said to
Have Used Public Office
As Private Snap to Enrich the House of
McCormiek-No Investigation Or
dered Yet-Proceedings in
Congress Yesterday.
After Judge Mccormick.

Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Feb IA citizen of Bir-
minaham, Ala, named Color has a griev-
ance against Judge A. 2. Mccormick of
Dallas, and has been camping on the
latter's trail ever since he was
named for the rev Federal judgeship, in
the hope of defeating his confirmation by
the senate. This doubtless has something
TO do with the resolution introduced in
the house to-day by Mr., Bankhead
of Alabama asking that Mr. Mccormick
be investigated on several charges
seriously affesting his personal, unofficial
character. The resolution presents the
charges in detail. They assert that
Mccormack accepted residence from citi-
zens of Graham, Tex, on condition that
he would make that town his
home, but AFTERWARDS sold the
the place so donated, and moving back to
Dallas kept the proceeds. He is accused of
gross wrong-doing in having his son ap-
pointed receiver of a railroad whereby the
latter, though mere youth, was able to
acquire the sum of l,0G0, which
he invested in Dallas real estate, giving
one half interest to his father; of causing
his brother-in-law to be appointed receiver
of q corporation whose affairs came before
McCormick's own court, and is fur
Their charged with publicly declaring
that in the case of the United States
against Logan and others on trial before
him the defendants were guilty, and must
be convicted.
The resolution asks that the Judiciary
committee appoint subcommittee to in
qui=e into the charges thus set
forth, and empowers said sub
committee to take testimony, summon
witnesses and journey to any place neces-
sary for prosecuting the investigation.
What action the judiciary committee will
take is uncertain, but the chances are that
Mccormick will get pretty lively shaking
up prior to his confirmation, should the
senate finally confirm him. Q If the
Judiciary committee, headed by Mr.. Cul-
berson, reports in favor of an investigation
the whole truth is sure to come out and it
will be seen whether Mccormick is fit
man to occupy such high Office or whether
he has been badly misrepresented.

Ia There a Demand for FICTION

A clever young woman who has done
good literary work, came to this city the
other day from Utah, having in her satchel
a completed story of life in the Mormon
state She tried her best to dispose of it TO
several newspapers and literary syndicates,
but failed While talking about her poor
luck in one of the syndicate offices, she
happened to mention the fact that the Nor
mon people were little known outside of
their own state, and for that reason she
thought her story ought to be available. At
this point the manager of the literary
bureau had an idea. THE demand for
fiction" he said, unless supplied by men
or women with great names, is very small.
Your story is fairly good, but 1 do not care
to take the chance with il. But if you can
write me some articles about Mormon life,
Mormon schools, Mormon women and chill
dren, and other topics that will suggest 10
you, VIII take ten articles and pay you $50
apiece for them.''
The young woman was greatly elated, yet
sorrowfully she folded the manuscript Of
her story as she listened to the plan out
lined by the manager of the syndicate, and
in less than half an hour she had gone on
her way. The money she will receive for
the articles is three times as great as the
amount she could possibly have obtained
for her story.
Is there not hint here for young literary
workers2

Mrs. james G. Blaine, Jr.,s divorce.

I saw Mrs James G. Blaine, Jr.. as she
stepped into her carriage from the New
Y ork hotel a day or two before she returned
TO Dakota to secure her divorce. She
looked remarkably well. Shemoved slowly
with q perceptible halt in her gait, but her
face was fresh and rosy and her eyes be-
tokened good health. She was dressed be-
heavy wrap. Her hat was iaunty
and set off to advantage her
silky hair. During her stay in. this city,
w lille testimony was being taken before
the referee upon which she hopes to obtain
her divorce, she saw her husband many
times. A reconciliation was talked Of, but
the offer of a compromise carried with 1t
so many provisos that Mrs Blaine could
not accede to it. During the long time she
has been struggling to protect her name
and that of her child she has borne herself
With remarkable fortitude. Only those
who are well acquainted with her know of
the great struggle she has gone through.
She has been bounded by spies and
so-called reporters until life was burden
TO her. and she could not even sleep at
nights But throughout it all she never
once lost courage or her womanly dignity,
and she was silent even to her most init
mate friends at times when IL seemed
impossible that she could longer bear up.
That she has been prosecuted every
body knows; that she has good
ground for a divorce is equally true,
and all her friends are hopeful that the
matrimonial bond will soon be broken.
Then she will begin life anew, but not, 1
believe, on the stage, as many people still
think Whatever she does it may be de-
pended upon she will retain rs friends a
host of people who are still true to her. 1t is
greatly TO her credit and those who know
her best are the ones who love her most.

a Gltmpsc Of Pre.ident seth Low.

Columbia college has taken on a new
lease of life since Seth Low became its
president. He is one of the few college
presidents OF this country who are on good
terms with all the young men students. In
appearance he is thickset, but youthful
looking, His face Is round and his cheeks
rosy, his mustache closely cropped, and his
clothes are Of as fine texture and well fit
ting as those of any man in town. He goes
about great deal. see him at dinners, at
the theater and the opera, usually with his
wife, and they form a striking couple 1t
has always been a wonder to Mr.. Lows
friends that he should give up political life
TO become president Of college. At one
time it seemed possible that he would be
governor of New York state, and
his intimate friends limited that some
day he might be presented as oandi-
date for the presidency. He was tremen-
dously popular in Brooklyn when he was
mayor there, the one chief executive in
that city in some years who had a mind of
his own and worked for the peoples inter
ests. But the glamor of public life palled
upon him. and when he became president of
Columbia college it was TO devote all his
time and energy to furthering the interests
of that institution. He has succeeded even
better than he hoped for. and in no way
more than in making all the students love

ty-nine in the trust produces 90 per cent of
the total output There were pro-
duced and consumed in the United
States in 1890, $4,000 tons of Irvine all
but 1000 tons of which were made from
foreign grown fbers. If seven-tenths of
one cent per pound were added to the
price as is probable, this tax cost the farm
ers of the United States in 1890 alone
500 900, and this does not include the large
additional sum charged for profits on in
creased prices by various dealers through
whose hands the product passed. Not
one dollar of this large tax reached the
treasury. Surely there can be no excuse
for allowing this trust to continue exaction

which this twine is made is already on the
