POLITICAL SCRAPS.

In the 2nd year of the Hogg reign,
the mayor of Birmingham, in Texas,
says the children OF laboring men
were begging in the streets, though
none had actually starved to death.
Is it not time to Turn Texas

The senate of Texas announced in
favor of an elective commission-the
Clark idea-it wanted TO do Justice TO
San Antonio and voted for it to get
one of the higher courts; the house
has about 60 Hogg adherents-it voted
against us; can any one see the point?
The danger signal to Hogg has
been hoisted by J T. Brown, A. W..
Terrell, H. A. Eriech, t. NJ. Hunt
and 8. B. Lane; il it bore the names
of some of Judge Clark'e friends As

What Nerve Will Do,


A government employe has, on a
moderate salary, managed to place him
self on terms of intimacy with many of
the most lavish entertainers in the
city.
This young man lives in plain
boarding house where meal tickets are
disposed of for small consideration.
Such ticket, which calls for twenty
one meals, often lasts him two or three
months. 1t must not be imagined that
he neglects his inner man, however.
Far from it. Seven nights q week sin
the season" he dimes at some first
class private table. Two or three times
a week he breakfasts with friends.
Most Of his luncheons are eaten in pri-
vate houses. When the season is at it's
height he has no use for his plain meal
card at all.
He came here from one of the middle
states and got place which pays him
about 1000 a year. Then he began
sending weekly letters concerning
Washington life to the county paper
published at his home. His style was
not bad, and he borrowed ideas liberal
ly from the metropolitan journals. One
OF the two senators representing his
state he knew was pleased by flattery.
He fiattered him in the country paper.
When the senator made a speech the
readers of that paper were given to un
derstand that it was the ablest effort Of
his lite. The young man was careful to
see that the article came under the
senator's eye.
What more natural than that, in pro-
cess Of time, this fatterer should re-
ceive an invitation to dine at the sena
tors house? He accepted, for this in
tot of% 1~ hi !,
he had SO earnestly striven. Once be-
meath the senator's root, he exerted
himself to please. No general ever
planned battle with more skill than
this genius planned to make a conquest
Of Washington society. Guests who at
first were inclined to regard him as an
ordinary young man were captlvated
by his conversation and manners. Be-
fore he departed he had received a
number of invitations to dine or take
tea at houses which to many thousand
Washingtonians have never been open.
From the first his scheme Of conquest
had been forwarded by the friendliness
of the senator whom he had first
charmed and who never suspected his
motive.
The succeeding season witnessed the
complete triumph OF this designing
young man. With no capital beyond
his dress suit, his engaging manners and
his wonderful "nerve," he managed to
stretch bis legs beneath some of the best
tables in the city. Now he is welcome
guest at most of the fashionable homes,
and the prospects are that his meal
ticket will not be put into requisition
until Lent puts q temporary stop to en-
pertaining. incidentally, it may be
added that his savings bank account is

SENATOR EDMUNDS.

Senator Edmunds says that he is 60

look after his health. If he will take
REDS GERMAN COUCH AND KIDNEY
CURE he will find that it is perfect
protection against pneumonia, while
it will cure the rasping cough that SO
often accompanies old age. 1t is a
gentle stimulant, and aims to rid the
system of these maladies without the
use of opiates or narcotics. 1t is
equally applicable to children, and is
an unfailing remedy for Group. 1t can
be given then in repeated doses with.
out any danger whatever, and on this
account it is of the utmost value in the
household. If your druggist will not

became great pursuit in the surround

came the seat of supplies for the thous-

lodes. The. growth of the town was
phenomenal, aud grew over Harry's

increased in value. He built a half

Tor wife he took about the time of the
boom. He now controls the entire bak-
cry stock of the city and handles vast
quantities of -four and mercantile

would not induce him to part with his
possessions to-day, and the bare-footed
tramp who entered Durango seven
years ago is now recognized as one of
the city's most substatial and progress

Gently returned from the interior of
Florida is not in love with the sand and
alligators and crackers of that peninsu-
lar state. Roads down there, he says,
are not worth mentioning. and bee
line is the most practical way of reach
ing any destination. The only attrac-
tive feature of the place, he considers,
is the fact that the two inevitables,
death and taxes, are there reduced to
the minimum. He tells this story of
his trip. Having obtained the title to
a tract of land by what "Col. Carter OF
Gainesville" calls ''some very ungentle-
manly foreclosure proceedings, he set
out to view his possessions. In the
midst of q swampy waste he found a
very dilapidated apology for a cabin.
In the doorway hung like portierre a
worn gray blanket, with a space at the
top and the bottom, as the blanket was
shorter than the place where the door
should have been, and over the top of
this blanket grizzled "cracker" looked
out at his visitor. The tenant surveyed
his landlord and the landlord his ten
