Tx the beginning we have to say con-
cerning the session Of the Legislature
that the EVENING JOURNAL has no axes
to grind. We shall occupy ourselves
strictly with the duty OF giving the
news. We shall give it impartially.
without fear or favor, as we find IT, We
are neither the friends nor the enemies Of
any private bills. We have none our
selves, and we have no interest in any
other mans bill except TO tell the news
about Il ahead Of all other papers. IL
any man, II any corporation feels ag-
grieved that we publish the news Of
some pet measure before IL Is ripe, It
must be understood that it is our busi-
ness, not our animosity, that prompts the
exposure Of scheme perhaps, or
the announcement of boon.
Either boon or scheme
is news, and naught but news TO us.
Whether it is the one OF the other we
are bound to tell the people Of it first
and foremost; we may advocate It or con.
deInn It afterwards as we think it will
bear good or bad fruit for the people.
With these incongruvial though explain.
atory remarks, we bid the Legislature
the bill-pushers, the schemers, the ardent
young lawyers, those who have found
marriage to be failure, the hummers
the bummers and the third house tc
Let her go Gallagher" We are ready
to smile or to weep with the best of you,
But we prefer TO smile, for life is full OF
fun and Legislative life is not different
from the ordinary episodes Of this vast
and variegated human comedy.

THOSE who are urging an increase Of
the tax on whiskey are a composite con
glomeration Of persons who are seeking
their own interest, not that Of the people.
The men who own whiskey wish TO have
the tax increased because they hope to
collect the increase; those who fear de-
crease of pensions wish to provide more
money to pay them and prevent q deficit
in the Treasury; those who dread econ
omy for various other reasons are ready
TO advocate any taxes that will prevent
the necessity for either economy or hon.
esty. None Of these pleas is in har-
mony with reform. tits not more in

ance before a San Antonio audience on
Saturday and Sunday next.
Among the many marvellous illusions
produced by Hermann, is the Escape
from Sing Sing" The recent escape of
two condemned murdcrerS, PalIiSter and
Roehl, from Sing Sing prison, was the
prime motive for Hermann the Great in
venting his latest and greatest illusion.
which he calls The Escape from Sing
Sing" He has two large cells. made
Of wood and mounted with brass. A con-
Wet is put into one of them and curtains
are drawn. While Mr.. Hermann is talk
ing about the trick, the convict appears at
the back Of the house, runs down the
middle aisle and goes upon the stage.
What are you doing here" asks the ma
gician; you ought to be in the cell "
But am not I'm the cell, replies the
convict. Then who is in the cell?" says
Mr.. Hermann. The keeper" says the
convict. The curtains are raised and there
is the keeper, sure enough. Then the con-
Wet is put into the second cell, the first
cell is lifted off the ground by pulleyS,
the curtains of both are closed and then
opened again. and the convict is back i'm
the first cell. 1t has created Tremendous
sensation. and Hermann himself cOnSid-
erS it one Of his best illusions.

pulled his bell rope and stopped the car,
refusing to haul the alderman. Some
time elapsed when Mr.. Daugherty alight-
