THE SKIES BRIGHTEN

IHE OhlCO Dhloh Law
The reception given by all factions
of the Democracy in New York TO the
national Democratic organization OF
clubs by Tammany, the anti-snappers,
the county Democracy and the SUD-
mission to the national executive
committee Of the party of the ques-
ton as to the propriety of running a
local opposition ticket to the ram
MANY ticket, is the best cumulative
evidence that the different factions OF
the Democratic party in New YORK
are united upon the presidential
ticket, and that all the Earring ana
clashing heretofore disturbing the
harmony of the party haqe been re-
conciled
That this has been brought about
by the prudence and high stand taken
by Mr.. Cleveland is self evident iact'
While Cleveland posses no TRANSFER
dent genius he certainly has hlgh
order of talent and capacity to use III
to the very best advantage.
He is prudent and sagaclous'
hut honest and determined;
with not a particle of the trio k OF
the politician. He knows exactly
what to say and when to say 1t, ana
he knows when to keep quiet.
His devotion to principles and MS
contempt for all emergency policy TO
accomplish either personal or party
end have given him dignity of posi-
ton aud standing that makes his IN
fiuence felt among all men. He may
not have that personal magnetism at
tributed to Blaine, and certainly pos
sessed by John G. Breckenridge and
Henry Clay, yet his consistent ana
uncompromising loyalty to country,
to party and friends has given MIN
even a wider sweep of influence upon
the public mind than if he possessed
the genius of personal magnetism.
The public always know where to
find him on any great issue and those
who are in the habit Of arguing by an
alogy can always conclude what he
will do about certain things in the
line of his duty. In other words, q
man who knows what is right can
always determine on Mr.. Cleveland's
action, for not only Democrats but his
ooponents are confident he will DO
what he thinks is right. Senator
Sherman the other day paid his hon.
esty and purity of Character and
Judgment the highest compliment
ever paid another by political ad-
versary.
There would be no buster and
swagger in his foreign policy, no at
tempt to bully weak nation
alists if Cleveland was the ex-
ecutive head of the nation,
nor would any man of bad character
or dishonest record receive an ap'
pointment from him AS pay for party
services.
The Republican papers complain
that foreign countries favor him as
presidential candidate. 1t only shows
that his high character as man ano
a state. man has gone abroad and re
ceived the plaudits of enlightened
nations, for no one can suppose tina
they expect any policy on his par
detrimental to his own country ant
favorable to foreign country.
His patriotism is from the heart
strengthened by the head, and Their
is no man in whose hands the fortune
of this country can be placed witt
more security and confidence that tn
high trust will be intelligently AT
faithfully performed.

An Improved Shuttle.

A shuttle manufacturer in Massa-
chusetts has effected an improvement in
that mechanism which promises to be of
considerable practical value in the oper-
atoms of wooden mills. In lieu of the
ordinary hinged spindle for receiving
and holding the bobbin of yarn, a short
rigid spindle is employed in combination
with two holding jaws, one above and the
other below the head of the bobbin; the
latter they clasp and securely hold in a
central position, single spiral spring
being arranged in the base of the shut
tie so as to exert an equal pressure on
the bobbin holding jaws, between which
it is placed. AS a result of this unique
construction all splitting of the bobbins
arising from the use Of the long pointed
hinged spindle is obviated, with conse'
quent saving of waste yarn. The trouble
from the breaking of this yarn by the
canting of the spindle point in the weav
ing operation is also overcome.-New
York Sun.

An Indian Amulet,

In India variety of gems and stones
are used as amulets. The most common
is the salagrama, a stone about as large
as billiard ball, and which is perforated
with black. This is supposed to be
found only in Gandaki, river in
Nepaul. The person who possesses one
Of these stones is esteemed highly for
tunate; he preserves it in clean cloth
from whence it is sometimes taken to be
bathed and perfumed. He believes thai
the water in which it is washed, il
drank, has the power to preserve from
sin. Holding it in his hand, the dying
Hindoo expires in peace, trusting in 8
stone rather than in the living God

Matchmaking Was a Trial.

George Meikle Kemp, the architect of
the Scott monument at Edinburgh, was
a man who raised himself from OBJ
SECURITY by the sheer force of talent and
| determination. He had a retiring
nature, and shy and shrinking manner
toward strangers. The habit of hand
shaking created in him an embarrass-
ment and aversion which he could
scarcely control, and one of his friends
gives an amusing description of the
manner in which he accomplished
the deed when it became inevitable.
The two were walking along one of the
streets in Edinburgh in the full flow of
an animated conversation, when Kemp
suddenly became aware of friend APP
preaching them from the opposite direc-
ton.
Instantly the current of his thought
was arrested, he lost the thread of con-
versation, and then became silent alto
gether. A whimsically troubled express
sion crept over his face, and a nervous
commotion developed itself in his man
ner.
Extraordinary movements began in
his right hand and arm, which he kept
dangling and jerking backward and for
ward in helpless way, as if he had en-
tirely lost control of them. Gradually
the hand appeared to stiffen, and rose,
with the arm, until they were at right
angles with the body.
With a powerful effort he shot out his
hand and grasped that of the friend who
had approached, and then, the ordeal
passed, with a sigh of relief, he briskly
resumed his part of the conversation
with the air of man who has performed
an unpleasant but meritorious action

WILLIAM M. GILLELAND,
The Popular Poet, Dies in San Antonio o
Heart Disease.

The Popular Poet, Dies in San Antonio Of
Heart Disease.
Mr.. Gilleland's parents came to
Texas from Philadelphia in 1887,
when the young poet was about 3
years ofage. His father, Mr.. John
stone Gilleland, was in the Texas
army in 1888. In 1910 both parents
were killed by the Indians. They
pierced William through the body
and his recovery was almost miracu-
lous. That wound in connection with
one received here in Austin by the
reckless discharge of pistol in the
hands Of a citizen, so shattered the
hip bones that life was despaired OF
and he for months was dashed
down to a litter. Those
two wounds so undermined
his constitution and weakened
his nervous system that for years,
he was never free of pain, only as he
found temporary relief in narcotics.
Notwithstanding his nervous and suf-
fering condition, he wrote many OF
the most popular poems of the day,
which have been published in maya
zines, books, and newspapers, and
which are lett to future generations as
an imperishable monument. Up to
the time of his death scarcely week
passed that he was not appealed to
for contributions to the press. Mr..
Gilleland had many friends all over
the state who will hear with profound
sorrow of his death. When young
man he was q leader of society here in
Austin and very popular with the gov
ernors and state officers. AT Is years
of age, at the earnest solicitation of
many in Eastern Texas, he delivered
his first political speech, which was
pronounced by the hundreds
who heard it, mastery eff
fort. Genial and warm hearted
intellectual and chivalrons, he held a
strong place in the affections of those
who knew him best. Mr.. Gilleland
was of distinguished ancestry. They
were noble and renowned. His wife
died about eight months ago. Their
union was happy one. Mrs. Gille-
land was the daughter of Hon. Ken
meth Anderson, who was vice presi-
dent of the republic of Texas, and
who held other distinguished posi-
tions of trust. She was a sweet and
lovely woman, devoted wife and
mother. Ever since her death Mr..
Gilleland has been 30 depressed in
spirit that life was burden, and his
only thought aud desire was to pre-
pare to meet her. They now sleep
side by side. He left two children, a
son and a daughter, whose tender and
loving affection soothed his pathway
to the tomb. Many a sigh will be
heaved and tear fall as the reader of
those beautiful poems learn of his
death. Mrs. Fisher, his only sister,
was unexpectedly summoned by tele-
gram, whittier she went on her sad
mission.

An Accommodating Barber.

Some of the rural towns in New Eng.
land do not support barber, and hair
cutting is usually done by an accommo.

in with one of these amateur BARRIERS,
and humorously describes his accommo.

Soon I was perched astride of a mo.

After our cutting acquaintance 1 saw
much of the barber. One time he was
on the school house steps cutting a

work on mans head in the middle of

leaning against bean pole with his hoe
in his hand, evidently making the most
of his luxurious ease. Anywhere and

SOME SUGGESTIVE RUMORs.

Attain Their Ends.

As to What the Hogg Men Intend Doing to
Attain Their Ends.
The utterances of Col. j. j. Fanlk,
the representative of the Hogg fac
tion before the commissioners court
yesterday morning caused rumors to
spread over the city and knowing
ones asserted that they had now tum-
bed to the scheme of the Hogg man
Ayers, THE STATESMAN was unable
to trace them to any reliable source
and hence gives them as rumors only.
In the first place it is con-
coded on all sides that
large portion OF Clark's votes
will come from the cities in which the
new registration law has been put in
force. The rumor has it that the plan
of the Hogg people is as follows:
They will lay low and hold their
own counsel from now until the cleo.
ton. Then they will claim that the
Australian ballot law as passed by
Hogg's immortal Twenty-second leg
islature is unconstitutional and will
endeavor to 80 prove it and thus add
rone more corpse to the pile of de-
ceased offspring of that august
body. If they succeed, what
will be the result? 1t will throw out
the vote of the registration cities,
which will cost Clark about $4,000
votes and Hogg not more than 5000.
1t is a very smooth scheme but THE
STATESMAN does not believe it will

Gov. Lubbock Becomes Citizen.
The STATESMAN congratulates Ex-
Governor Lubbock on at last having
found home. For fourteen years
since he first began living in Austin
as the state treasurer, he has claimed
Galveston as his home and has there
cast his ballots. Not a week has
elapsed since the registrar of
the Pirate Isle branded him
as an alien and an outcast
by asserting he could no longer con-
slider that he was at home when he
was listening to the sad sea waves as
they rippled over the silvery sands of

which he has served for 80 many
years, had no home; like the
lowly Nazarene, knowing not where
to lay his head. At last the governor
has found home. THE STATESMAN
and the Democrats of Austin welcome
him as suffragan to the City of the
Violet Crown.
Yesterday morning the distinguish
ed war veteran, patriot and statesman
appeared before "Uncle Dick" Boyce,
and asked that certificate be issued
him, thus emitting him to vote in our
fair city. The certificate was issued.
1t bore the number "3013." 1t is we'll
known that Governor Lub-
book is one of Governor
Hogg's staunchest supporters and
that his ballot will be cast for his con.
tinuance in Office. 1t is also well
known that the number "13" is uni
versalIy considered an unlucky num-
Der. Can it be possible that Governor
Lubbock's finding home and his
casting ballot bearing the tails
manic "No. 10" will strengthen the
certainty of the defeat of the present
incumbent of the gubernatorial chair?

The Irrigation of Orchards.

1t has been demonstrated in California
that surface irrigation is not the best
method for orchards. The system is I'M
tidy, wasteful and causes an unneces-
sary growth of noxious weeds. It also
stultifes the tree growth, causing the
roots to form in ball near the surface.
An orchard designed for market fruits
should be irrigated by means of under
ground conduits or cement pipes.
These are laid below the freezing
point and made of sufficient dimensions
to carry the requisite quantity of water
within three or four feet of the tree.
Small holes cut in the top Of the pipes
and covered by boxes to prevent the
holes filling with earth allow the water
to percolate slowly out from the pipe
and moisten the soil at the roots of the
tree.
By this method the roots go down
ward, giving the tree firmness to resist
transforms and withstand the effects of
continued dry weather in case the water
supply is temporarily exhausted. This
system may be considered expensive, but
the additional yield of fruit will justify
such expenditure. The field of the future
irrigated fruit market will be large
enough to justify systematic under
ground thing as well as piping. Drain
ages will be more extensively practised
as the market orchards increase, and al
though expensive as it may seem, these
orchards will be valuable dividend pay
ing properties.-Irrigation Age.

What a Widow Is.

1t was a Sunday school class, and the
teacher believed in asking questions to
see how clearly the scholars understood
their lessons. The widow of Ham was
the subject, and the teacher thought she
would be quickly answered when she
asked, "What is a widow" There was
a silence until she nodded to the small
boy at her left and said, "You know
what widow is, don't you?" for she
knew the boys mother was one. "Yes'm,'
he answered; Its a lady what takes in
washing. New York World.

THE CLARK CLUB.
They Conclude Not to Antagonize the Hogg
Candidates.


The court room was we'll filled last
night at o'clock, the occasion being
the regular weekly meeting of the
Clark Central club of Travis county,
but before adjournment every seat was
taken. Ex.Land Commissioner r. M.
Hall called the meeting to order and
in the absence of the president, was
elected president pro tenn.
Col. H. G. Mack of Collin county,
who was present, was, on motion of
Mr.. G. E. Anderson, invited
to address the m Getting. He was
introduced by Chairman Hall as a
man who was opposed to Governor
Hogg two years ago.
The speaker stated that he opposed
Governor Hogg two years ago consci-
entiously and did 80 now conscien-
tiously, and he honestly believed that
within three weeks his opinions were
vindicated.
His first opposition was caused by
his action in regard to land titles in
the Panhandle, which policy was only
changed short time since when he
was lashed into doing so by George
Clark-the next governor of Texas.
The speaker referred in humorous
terms to the governor and state OIL
GERS, saying that they had been in Of
flee 30 long that they certainly ought
to be tired and should be released
from their arduous labors.
In referring to the Houston
convention he said that Coon
Potter was the only man
who had ever gone before a conven-
ton without opposition and absolutely
got beat: concluded his remarks in a
ringing manner, amidst applause, by
prophesying a grand victory fol
