their house of commons, have decided
to give Ireland home rule. To this
voice of the people the house OF lords
has dared to oppose contemptuous
no!
But the bloodless revolution in
thought that has resulted in
acouiescence to home rule is
not the only revolution in ideas
that has been going on in England.
The expenses of the crown are heavy
enough on the people, but when to
those are added the tremendous court
expenses of the queens large family
aud their retainers, you find that dis
content is everywhere smoulderiLg,
Will this action of the pampered
house of lords make it burst forth in
fierce and Gevouring flames? The peo-
pie may long continue in silence to
bear a burden of taxation that has
been handed down to them through
generations, they acquiesce in that
through matter of form; but when on
a great question of principle they
have expressed themselves positively
will they brook opposition? 1t is
so natural for US to drift along
under any given condition of things,
but when the attention of the people
is pointedly called to fragrant wrong
they are very sure to speedily and
effectually correct it. The house of
lords has for years being growing into
disrepute. This decadence has been
as sure as the healthy growth of the
home rule idea. The house of lords
did a marvellous risky thing when it
voted in opposition to the will OF the
people. Had such thing occurred in
France, we would not be long in wait
ing mcmentous sequel. In phleg-
matte England radical changes do not
occur so abruptly. But the house of
lords has dug a ditch under itself and
should see to it that the people do not
tumble it's members in headlong-for
they will under Gladstone's leadership
march to home rule over any and all
obstacles.

only safety possible in malarious

ONE SHEEP LOST IN THE WILL
DERNESS.


Colonel McGaughey, commissioner
of the land Office, was interviewed
while in Fort Worth the other day by
a representative of the Gszette. lie
says that he is afraid OF the Popullsts
and that the two wings of the DEM
ocracy in Texas must unite to deieat
them. But when asked whether the
Chicago Democratic platform could De
used for this purpose he answered:
"No, it's all wrong and must be re-
constructed, - and added 1--WE are all
united on orr platform and what's the
matter with that? We declare for an
income tax and no one seems to De
opposed to it; we call for Ptate banks
and everybody seems to favor that"
"But," said the reporter, chow about
the coinage of silver?" "Let me tell
you, sir" replied the colonel, "thats
deep question; l don't know any
thing about it, and l am willing to
wait events to see which side is right"
or he might have added, which side
wins.
The most remarkable declaration
made by the doughty colonel is that
the National Democratic platform IS
all wrong and that it must be recon-
structed. If the colonel had not ex-
pressed Interpretation Of the Popu-
lists we would have known what he
was about politically, but the colonel
does not seem to care cent about his
political fences. One would have sup
posed when he disfranchised himself

slaughter, he ticks the hands ready to
knife him, and if he is allowed he will
stand or tall with the carshedders on
their miserable, rotten little PLATFORM
Oh, colonel, we thought better OF you
than that. Why did you 60 on re-
cord as sort of negative, or on SUI
ferance, worshipper of that little
craven image, or paraphrase of De-
mocracy, the Hogg platform? Colo
mel, you are too much of a man for
this. You were good Democrat be-
fore you got mixed up with that plat
form. Come back; stand where you
have so often, on the National Demo-
cratic platform, loyal to your party
and its chief, and all good Democrats
in Texas will hold up your hands.
That little band you Joined down in
Houston has thrown you off long ago.
When you were in trouble not hand
did they raise to your defense. Who
stood by you then and swore
by all the gods you were an honest
man? You know who they were.
They were the national Democrats of
Texas, tie men who voted for George
Clark for governor. Colonel, take a
few doses of national Democracy tonic,
stiffen your backbone, look your ene-
mics square in the eyes and exclaim
in your thunder tones, Orchard is

the City.
Yesterday morning about Ills
o'clock dastardly attempt was made
to destroy by fire the house of Mr..
Aug. H. Goe bel, at 1000 East Eleventh
street. The flames were first seen by
a family OF negroes living in The vi
cinity, and it was their screams that
aroused Mr.. Goebel. The near
est telephone was that of East
Austin Hose company, quite a long
way off, so that without waiting to
summon the fire department the work
of putting out the fire by the use OF
buckets was begun and successfully
carried through.
An examination OF the premises by
Sergeant Montgomery yesterday dis
closed the fact that quite large bum
die of clothing thoroughly saturated
with kerosene oil had been thrown
under the house and then lighted
The flames badly scorched the
floor and ran up the side
of the house to the caves before being
extinguished. Mr.. Goebel had not q
cent of insurance and had the object OF
the firebug been accomplished he
would have beer left homeless as well
as almost penniless. The officers be-
lieve they know who the guilty party
was and if they find him he will be
dealt with in most summary man
ner. Such practices must stop.

What is Eczema?
1t is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortureS.


1t is an itching and burning of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
It is thousands of pin-headed yes

forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin is
exempt.
1t tortures, disfgureS and humil-
iates more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep and rest are out of the
question.
Most remedies and the best ply
sicians generally fail, even to relieve.
If CUTICURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
the gratitude of mankind.
1t not only cures but
