In THE midst of all the uncer-
tainty and secrecy that surrounds
the movements of the Catholic
hierarchy, this much is certain:
Father McGlynn returns from
Rome in higher esteem than before
his temporary deposition and
stands so high in the estimation of
the Pope and his Apostolic dele
gate in the United States that his
elevation to a bishOpric is very
generally discussed. In the event
of such an elevation his reverence
would feel nothing but the most
profound satisfaction as such a
vindication, but how would his
eminence, the archbishop who
silenced him, feel?

THE characterization silver will
not effect the Texas farmer. If it
reduces the price of his product it
will reduce the price of all other
products, that which he buys as
we'll as that he sells, and the pur-
chasing power of what he sells will
be as much as it is now. Don't be
scared.

THE penitentiary board of the
state is in session, and it's acts e.
mind Texas most painfully of the
lamentable want of humanity and
horse sense displayed by the late
legislature in it's. legislation on
affairs pertaining to the criminal
classes of this state, and particu-
larly in ~disposing of the prisoners
under sentence in the state peni-
tentiaries. The intelligent public
read with disgust the leasing of so
many convictS TO so and sc for so
much a month. There is not a con-
Wet camp in this or any other
S tate that is not Of necessity the
hot bed of cruelty, i~nsubordina-
ito n, vice and slow murder. The
state leases these men to private
gain for all that greed can grind
out of their blood and muscle and
bones, and in doing so it has vio-
lated every equitable considera-
ton, making itself a party to an
Injustice which can only have the
most demoralizing effect upon the
prisoners.

THERE is little or no doubt that
the city can do its own lighting
and watering cheaper than a cor
poration can do it, or at least
cheaper than they will do it. The
city has no profit to make out of
it's citizens and will furnish sup
p les at cost, but a corporation
must have its profits.

THE Denver assignment will
not affect the properties in which
the Chamberlin Investment COM

there, Arlington Heights, is self

largely out of the peculiar con-
ditions in Colorado incident to the
silver question, and do not affect
the values in Texas.

AGeolorIen1 narometer.

Aremarkable geological substance
found in Finland is a stone which
foretells by change of color the
probable character of the weather in
the near future natural barometer
known by the name of semakuir,
and which is said to turn black short
ly before an approaching rain, while
in fine weather it is mottled with
spots of white. For long time, ii
appears, this interesting phenomenon
was inexplicable, but on an analysis
of the stone it was shown to be fos-
sill mixed with clay, and containing a
portion of rock salt and inter. This
fact being known, the explanation OF
the changes became easy. The salt,
absorbing the moisture, turns black
when the conditions are favorable for
rain, while the dryness of the atmos.
phere must as naturally bring out
the salt from the interior of the stone
in white spots on the surface. New
