THE CHINESE EXCLUSION.

Each day since the decision of the
United States Supreme Court gave
legality and vitality to the Chinese
exclusion law by declaring its terms
In keeping and not in conflict with
the Federal constitution the question
as to what disposition Uncle Sam
would make of the refractory heath
ems has become more and more diff
cult of solution. That the American
lied natives of the flowery kingdom
are determined to exercise the glo-
rious privilege of their adopted land
by kicking against the legal pricks
goes without saying and should the
government then proceed to enforce
the strict letter of the Geary law, by
the dernier resort of transporting all
refractory celestials, the national treas
ury would soon be in sadly depleted
and "busted" state is equally true.
That the administration is more or
less disturbed over the situation may
readily be imagined. Its members
appear, however, to be considering the
matter coolly and nationally. AT re-
cent cabinet meeting in Washington
this important subject was brought
up for consideration and discussion.
Secretary Carlisle had proposed to is
sue circular letter of instruction to
internal revenue officers IN relation to
deportations, but this has been aban-
doDed for the present. Reports re-
ceived from A of the So collection
districts show that less than 5000
Chinese have complied with the law
and registered.
Those Representatives who hold
their seats in Congress through the
favor Of sandlot orators will doubtless
oppose any attempt to modify the
rigors of the law at the coming ses-
sion, but these gentlemen will be
largely outnumbercd by those who
are not Indifferent to the grert moral
sentiment of the country apart from
the iniquity Of the law and the great
injustice which would follow lis exc
cution under existing conditions. The
fact that an expenditure of between
$4,000, 900 and $6,OOO,0oO will be nee
essary to deport those against whom
it is aimed will be sufficient motive
for congress to extend the time for
registration or provide some other
method by which the national honor
and the treasury may be saved.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable aud pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on Che Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs

Severe Wind storm.

A severe wind storm is reported
from several portions Of Missouri and
Kansas, and from one point in tho
latter state, the reports indicate q
storm of cyclonic proportions. The
storm was in every instance accom-.
panied by hail or regular downpour
of rain, amounting in some instances
to veritable cloAd burst.
No loss or injury is reported TO hu.
man life, but the telegraph wires are
down in the country surrounding the
towns that the storm struck, and
when telegraphic communication IL
resumed, 1t is not unlikely IL will be
discovered that the storm caused
fatality. Much damage of minor i'm
portance was wrought TO barns and
buildings in Missouri.
At Sedalia the wind attained a
terrific velocity. II surged under the
tent of Ringing Brothers circus and
snapped five poles supporting it like
pipe stems. The tent came down
with a crash, burying 1000 people be-
meath It. They screamed and strug-
gled and several women tainted, but
all were finally safely removed from
beneath the canvass. Several receiv-
ed severe bruises, but no injury to
life or limb resulted. 1t Is due 70 the
presence of mind of the employees Of
the circus that the panic did not re-
suit in the loss of life.

THE INCOME TAX.
The President Maintains Silence
Concerning His Views on
the Subject.

tne oupJect.
1t is said, and doubtless upon good
authority, that there is just now =
strong effort being mado to induce
Mr.. Cleveland to side with that
very large element of his party who
are in favor of the passage by the
noxt Federal Congress of a graduated
income tax. Thus far, however, these
efforts, strong and earnest as they cer-
tainly have been, cannot be said to
have accomplished the desired object
or even so much as won from the
president single expression Of opin-
ion clearly or directly favorable TO the
proposition. The labor has not been
altogether in vain, however, as 1t has
at least had the effect of arousing the
presidents interest in the subject, and
caused him to enter into a full and
thorough analitical examination OF
the many sided question. Thus II may
be reasoned, despite the newspaper re-
ports to the contrary, that instead Of
openly favoring the measure, the best
that can be depended upon concern.
ing the presidential policy on this SUBJ
ject, Is a probable conversion to the
generally accepted Democratic doc
trine. Concerning Mr. Clevelsnd's
position on. the question, a prominent
Washington newspaper man has this
to say;
AS far as / am able to ascertain, and
/ have talked to great many Con.
gressmen who have talked to him on
the subject, he has not expressed him
self either for or against the PROPOSE
ton. talked to Mr.. Bynum to-day
about 1t and he said that the growth
of the income tax was great. He,
however, could not say how the presi-
dent stood in the matter.
| asked as to the repeal of the 10
per cent state bank tax. He said that
in Indiana the people were afraid Of
an unqualified repeal, because Indiana
had suffered FROM the old state bank
system. Still, if the states were plac-
ed In the same position toward the
state banks that the government now
occupied toward the national banks,
they, and the country, would probably
be satisfied.
He stated that the drift now in his
state and the west was for the repeal
of the Sherman or bullion purchasing
act.
On the outside of the Congressional
circle the belief obtains that the house
will pass an income tax law, but that
the senate will not agree to 1t unless .
very heavy pressure is brought to
bear. In the opinion of some pres
sure which would make the house
pass such law would be Of force suf-
ficient to make the senate do the same
thing as the senate's ears are as open
to any public cry as are the ears Of
the house, as witness the option bill
and the like.

like to see Texarksns follow the ex.
ample which Paris has so worthily
set. There was never a better time
than the present for an event OF this
kind in our own city and we see no
adequate reason why she should not,
with little energy and enthusiasm on
the part of her citizens, become the
scene of even a greater demonstration

A Big Day at PARIS.

A monster demonstration marked
the day set apart for the firemen and
trade parade, at Paris, Tex, on Thurs
day of this week. The city was filled
to overlooking with visitors who had
come from neighboring cities to wit
ness the display. Long before 10
o'clock, the hour at which the parade
was to start, the streets were throng-
ed with people. The housetops, avn
ings and sidewalks were solid mass
of humanity, all anxious to see the
sights. 1t was near II O'clock when
the procession began to move through
the principal streets to the sound Of
splendid music, discoursed by the
Bonham, Chicota and Paris bands.
The Phoenix fire department, with
their apparatus, headed the endless
line of floats. Then followed the ex-
hibitions of the merchants, mechanics,
manufacturers and others. There
was beauty, elegance and all that
money and taste could devise and
procure to be seen. In the long line
Was something to please every fancy.
There wero many amusing features,
such as the contrasting of the cash
and credit system, in which an old,
tumbled-down carriage of ante-bellum
days represented the credit system.
The man who raised cotton and
bought meat and mules was contrast
ed with the prosperous stockraiser.
Texas products, Texas enterprise and
Texas brains were fully represented,
and the display evoked the warmest
praise from all and sent the pride and
enthusiasm Of the city to the highest
point. There were great numbers Of
visitors there from distance. Peo-
pie came from Springfield, Mo-, Fort
Smith, Ark, and other points in those
states, besides from all over north
Texas.

thusiasm, besides giving the city a rep

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.

Held up Near Coleman Tex.

er and similar event comes from Cole.
man station, Tex, on the line of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway.
The amount secured by the robbers
in this latter effort is variously esti-
mated at sums ranging in amount,
from three to ten thousand dollars.
At any rate it is agreed on all hands
that the daring pilferers were well
paid for their trouble, there being
only two men, SO far as known, en-
gagged in the robbery. The incidents
of the daring exploit, as telegraphed
abroad from Coleman, Tex, on yes
terday, are as follows:
The north bound Santa Fe passen-
ger train, No. 81, due in Coleman at
11:25 p. NJ, was held up and robbed
at the switch, distance of about 600
yards north from the depot at that
place, by two masked men. Train
No. 81, runs between this place and
Coleman Junction, where it reaches
the main line of the Santa Fe.
According to Conductor Frank
CampbelPs statement the train stop
ped at the north end of the switch to
60 over the Y, when two masked men.
crawled upon the engine.
They ordered Engineer Seaman and
the fireman off the engine and COM
PEELED them to accompany them back
to the express car, and ordered them
to have Express MessengerJ. G. Barry
to open the car, which he did after
awhile.
Engineer, fireman, porter and Mail
Agent Smith were then ordered to
get in the car and make Express
Messenger Berry open his safe before
they entered the car themselves. They
shot off their guns.
This attracted Conductor Camp
bells attention, and he rushed up to
the front of the train, but when he
reached the platform of the second
class car, one of the masked men was
on the left hand side of the train
holding his gun on the porter. When
Campbell had got down the step far
enough for him to see, the robbers
ordered him back in the car.
Conductor Campbell heard one of
the robbers bid Messenger Crew
Goodnight, hoping to meet you at
the worlds fair"
1t is supposed they got several
thousand dollars and the Santa Fe
employees pay checks for Ballinger,
Miles and San Angelo.
The mail car and passengers were
not molested.
Sheriff Kingsberry, of Coleman,
was notified at once of the robbery
and was on the scene in thirty min
utes after the robbery. Both wires
were working up to IL: p. M, but the
robbers will have about twenty-four
hours the start on the officers, and the

One of the really charming events
Of the season was an informal floral
reception at the handsome home Of

singulaaly coincidence, first the arrival
Of two fair social flowers, young lady

followed few hours later by the APP
pesrance of perfect wealth of blos-
SONS on two of Mr.. Stegall's famous
Night Blooming Cereus, a rare plant,
Of exquisite beauty, blooming only
at rare intervals. In honor of this
dual happening, Mr.. and Mrs. Stegall

loving friends to join them in sharing
the pleasures afforded thereby. Upon
arrival, the visitors were ushered into
a veritrble scene Of enchantment.
The parlors Of this lovely homo
were exquisitely ornamented, while
the conservatory was perfect blaze
Of light. The evening was passed
amid the soothing delights of music,
flowers and song, concert of sweet
sounds mingling with delicious odors.
Tho guests of honor, Misses Smalley
and Sutton, two of Tennessee's most
charming bellies added the grace Of
their captivating presence to the
otherwise delightful occasion. After
full enjoyment Of the evenings
pleasures, the assembled guests, after
many fond adieux, took their depart
ure, all too, unwilling to leave SO per-
feet scene Of social enchantment.
Edwin Gould, the young railway
magnate, holding the Office Of Third
Vico-Prosident Of the Cotton Belt, ac-
compsnied by his wife and her sister,

party IN invitation to stop over and
psrtake Of the hospitality Of the city.
Owing to previous arrangements Mr..
Gould was constrained to defer his
