THE SUGAR BOUNTY VETO.

johnson County Review Gov.
Hogg has vetoed the sugar bounty
bill. Hurrah for our big governor.
Fort Worth Gszet 1t requires
some acrobatic skill to condemn
Governor Hogg's veto Of the sugar
bounty measure without approving
the sugar bounty.
BRENNAN Banner: Gov HoSg
has vetoed the sugar bounty bill
passed by the recent Legislature. He
thinks such Law az granted it is
paternalism in the extreme. 1t is
the refusal, however, of a right
neat little sum for this dignity of
state that the governor is endeavor-
ing to maintain.
Sherman Register; Gov. Hogg
has vetoed the bill accepting the
sugar bounty of 81 900 per annum
from the United Stotes government,
claiming that Texas is no pauper.
Certainly this great state is not an
boject of charity, but if the
governors present polity is con-
tinued there's no telling how soon
she may be reduced to poverty.
Laredo News Anybody with a
place above his shoulders where
brains ought to be can easily see

pected to avail himself of the b oun-

qnirements Of the law, yet state,
being one of the sovereign parties
to the contract Of confederation,
must lay aside its sovereignty, it's
most pric 9less attribute, in order to
become entitled to a fashionable
right intended only for the citiz IN.
Corpus Christi Caller: Governor
llogg has vetoed the sugar bounty
bill. The governor did right and
is to be applauded for his action.
The bill was undemocratic wrong
in principle and should not have
been p lssed in the first place; bat
since 1t did pass we are rel Diced to
know that the governor had the
nerve to put his veto on it and
send it where the fragrant wood Dine
twines. Three cheers for Jim
Hogg of Texas, and may his
shadow never grow less
Marlin Ball: Governor Hogg
has vetoed the sugar bounty bill
again, and the money that is due
Texas under the sugar bounty act
remains rusting in the national
treasury. The Ball comedies with
the governor as to the principle in
volved in the sugar bounty act and
if the present democratic congress
does not repeal it it will be derelict
in its duty to the people aud the
traditions of the party. But while
this money is on hand TO the credit
of Texas why not receive it and ap-
propriate it to the Confederate home
or some of the orphan institutions
of the state? 1t would not commit
Texas to the principle Of the sug ar
b ounty.

How Water Freezes.

scientific paper describes how
the process of freezing is carried
OH i'll natures alchemy. BY means
of two thermometers it is first as
certained that the temperature of
the water at the surface and at the
bottom is respectively rs degrees
and 40 degrees. A cold wind sweeps
over the surface of the water, so
that the temperature is suddenly
reduced to, say, A degrees. BY
this reduction in temperature it
contracts and becomes specifically
heavier, sinking and displacing the
comparatively light and warm
water below, which rises to the sur
face, becomes cooled below Al de-
grees, and Immediately falls, dis
placing the warmer water at the
bottom, which in turn rises, gets
cooled and falls, its place being
again supplied by lighter and warm
er water And so the cooling and
sinking processes go on, the upper
Thermometer always indicating the
higher temperature, when suddenly
the magic point, 80 degrees, is
\ reached, when all movement at
once ceases. The upper layer of
water is still exposed to the cooling
influence Of the wind, and speedily
falls in temperature, but still re-
tains its place. The upper Their
mometer now shows that the water
which surrounds it is being rapidly
reduced in temperature, but the
lower one remains stationary at 80
degrees. AT this temperature water
is heavier than at any other, and
there, like a stone, it remains at
the bottom, and as it is fully pro-
tected from outward influences by
the mass of superintendent water,
it's temperature remains very much
at the same point. The water on
top, however, having nothing to
protect, it gets cooler and lighter
every moment. Down the Their
mometer goes to 81 degrees, 80
degrees aud 30 degrees, and then
a slight breeze ripples the sur
face, and the next moment thin
: sheet of ice spreads itself over all.
The ice, however, is colder and
: lighter than the water, so that it
floats on the surface and acts as
blanket, protecting the compare
lively warm and heavy water below
from being cooled. So that even
during the severest winter only a
comparatively thin superficial layer
: of ice is usually formed, and the
greater part OF water remains UNI
frozen at the bottom. Elk.

Wanted to Honor Him.

Sir Richard Burton was exploring
an unknown corner Of Afghanistan,
and had adopted the disguise of
Mohammedan fakir. He played
his part SO well in one village that
the inhabitants formed very high
idea of his sanctity.
Naturally he was pluming HIM
self OH his success, when the elders
came privately to him one night,
and begged him to go away at once.
"Do not the people like me?"
asked Burton, i'll great surprise.
Indeed, they do" was the reply.
"They were simply enchanted
with his holiness. Indeed, they
were considering whether it would
not be good thing to possess his
tomb!
Sir Richard made the best of his

ers had made their arrangements
for his funeral, he felt sure, as

The Generals Spoon Story.

almost everybody knows some
thing of the famous war story of
General Butler and the spoons"
said J. w. Donovan, the Detroit
lawyer, recently to News reporter
of that city, "but | heard the story
direct from the General himself,
when he was on the stump in the
campaign Of 1872. It was at Indi-
annapolis.
"A crowd of fully 10000 persons
were gathered under a canvas tent.
Butler was in full-dress-his usual
habit when before the public-and
was as smiling as a bride. He was
at his best, a condition which meant
a great deal in man like Butler.
As he stepped to the front of the
platform and bowed he was given
an ovation.
Holding a newspaper close to
his eyes, he said:
" The paper ! hold is the Mount
Vernon Times. The item | am
about to read is slightly personal.
I'll read it.
'He then read rs follows:
a." The citizens Of Mount Vernon
will be treated on Tuesday after
noon to the sight of the most hid
eous-looking man in America, when
Ben Butler will speak for the Re-
publicans.'
"Here General Butler paused for
a moment impressively, then finish
ed the paragraph with ringing en-
phasis.
4" Citizens, take care of your
spoons
"A wild burst of applause follow
ed, which General Butler stilled
with "A wave of his right hand.
Then he turned the profile of his
face to his audience and said:

General Butler then burst fortl
in a philippic-fun, severity, sarcasm

such audiences had ever been swaye,

the seats and yelled:
