IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.

Important facts have come to light
in connection with Miss Madeline
Pollards suit against W. C. p. Breck-
inridge for breach of promise, which
will have an important bearing upon
the result. 1t seems that soon after
an interview with Gen. Basil Duke
appeared in Louisville paper de-
nounClng Miss Pollard, he received a
letter from Mrs. Blackburn. Owing
to the close relations that Gen, Duke
had with the late Governor Luke p.
Blackburn, and the no less cordial
friendship which had always existed
between Mrs. Blackburn and himself
and his family, she felt justified in ad-
dressing him on the subject. She
told him that had he known the facts
he would not have undertaken to de-
fend Col. Breckinridge. Size went on
to say in substance that the latter had
told her of bis engagement with Miss
Pollard, had placed Miss Pollard un-
der her chsperonage, and had espec-
iolly requested Mrs. Blackburn's kind

HOW IT WAS ADOPTED.
Senator Jones, Of Nevada, Relates an
Interesting Legislative Incident.

Senator Jones, Of Nevada, Relates an
Interesting Legislative Incident.
A good story, said to have had its
origin in the Senate cloak room, is 60
ing the rounds in Washington, to the
amusement Of wonder loving public.
1t was just after Senator Sherman had
finished his great speech in favor of
the repeal of the law which bears his
name. Senator Jones, of Nevada, aC-
cording to the story insisted that all
the facts about the way the silver law
came to be agreed on in conference
had never been told. Turning to q
group of Senators he said that he
would tell the whole and exact
history Of that legislation in the con-
ference committee, and he said: "They
were all sitting in the conference
room when l came in with my ultima
tum, which was 100000 ounces a
month. oh, If that's ALL said Mr..
Walker, Of Massachusetts, we might
as we'll go. That ends it; it's all over
Mr.. Walker started toward the door,
but before he had gone far said to
him, Perhaps you Republicans, and
you, Mr.. Walker, will be interested in
what l am going to say. am sure
Mr.. Sherman will be interested, and
guess all you Will With that Mr..
Walker came back, but did not take a
chair. / continued: Now want to
tell you, gentlemen, that the Mckinley
bill will be over in the Senate in 3
short time. If you reject our ultima
tum on the silver proposition the sill
yer men will move the free coinage
bill as an amendment to the Mckinley
bill, and thore are enough Democrats
who will vote with us to carry it.
Now, after that amendment is adopt
ed in the Senate all Democrats will
vote against the Mckinley bill because
it is protective measure, and the
Western protectionists in the Senate
will vote against it because it contains
free silver. The free silver Republi-
cans in the Senate will be the only
men who will vote for it and being
protectionists they will be the only
consistent men in the Senate, being
for protection and for the free coinage
of silver When | got through they
were all listening to me, and before
the conference broke up the silver
purchase law, known as the Sherman
act, was agreed to-"
Senator Jones is known as one Of
the best story tellerS in the Senate,
but this is the most interesting that
he has told his senatorial friends for
some time.

THE WATER WORKS MUDDLE.

At the last meeting of City Council,
of tho West Side, committee consist
ing ofMessrs Chic and Kizer was ap-
pointed to confer with the water
works company or its representative
at any time the latter may desire 4
conference, for the purpose of adjust
ing all matters in dispute between the
city and water works company. We
understand that the council has no
disposition to work any hardship up
ON the water company, or to subject
1t to any injustice whatever, nor is the
city council inclined at all TO take adj
vantage Of the water company because
OF the fact that the latter has no legal
existence in Texas. The only thing
the council asks for and will insist up
ON is a definite adjustment Of matters
in an equitable and business-like way,
and it is to be hoped the water COM
pany will not longer fail or refuse to
do its part toward bringing about
solution of that desirable kind,-lnter
State News.
The above appears to us as the prop
er view to be taken Of the matter in
volved. The dispute between the city
administration Of the West Side and
the water company has given rise to
many unpleasant differences, render
ing a satisfactory adjustment of the
affair highly desirable. II is therefore
to be hoped that neither side will al
low any slight differences TO stand in
the way of an amicable settlement.
Mutual concession should be the order
of procedure on both sides.

Made Miserable for Llle.

This you may easily be if you fail
to remedy the indigestion and non-as-
similation of the food, which are the
attendants and originators of nervous
ness, that ever present ailment which
no narcotic, mineral, sedative or ner-
vine can ever do more than thempora-
rily relieve. OF course these remedies
have no effect upon the organs Of di-
gestion and assimilation, except to
disorder and enfeeble them, thus ag-
gravsting the original difficulty.
Among the most alarming and dan
gerous symptoms Of chronic nervous
ness is insomnia, which is the profes.
sional term for inability to sleep.
Where this exists there is always a
tendency to mental overthrow paresis
and eventual insanity, Begin at the
fountain head of all this difficulty with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and avert
evil consequences. No sooner does

SENATOR STEWART SPEAKS.

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, was
the last Senator to take the floor in
opposition to the repeal of the Sher-
man law, and he is considered one of
the longest takers among the silver
men. 1t has been thought he would
be reserved for the time that is COM
ing when long takers will be needed
on the silver side. He went into his
work with more than his usual care,
as he had his speech written, AS an
illustration of his care i'll putting his
speech properly before the country,
he positively declined any suggestions
from Senator Hoar, stating to that
gentleman, when he rejected remark,
that he (SteWarD didn't want any
trash in his speech, and that Hoar
could speak on his own time, and he
(Stewar0 objected to interruption.
After he had progressed awhile he
found only Il half dozen Senators in
the chamber, and they were writing
or reading. He objected to this at
once, and forced call for his breth-
rem, who came in, but not IN pleas
ant way. He held on from 1 until
about 4 o'clock, when Morgan, of Ala
bama, asked if he would yield so he
could move to go into executive seS-
sion. Stewart was pretty badly fag-
ged out and WAS glad of an opportun-
ity to rest,

THE STORM.

The wind and rain storm of the 21st
inst, did no harm in the vicinity of
Worthington, but the heavy rain fall
did much good. The warm days had
dried the surface of the ground, and the
gardens and fields drank in the rain
with greediness. In some other parts of
the State, however, the wind and the
lightning did much harm. Many barns
and dwellings were destroyed, and
other property was driven about by the
elements. The railway building at
Prairie junction was destroyed by
lightning. Around Fulda the wind
was terrific and many barns and other
buildings were blown down. One man
had 300 bushels of wheat aud 500 of
oats ruined by the blowing down of
his granary. A party of picnickers had
their carriages overturned and torn to
pieces. At Slayton similar losses were
incurred by the storm. SO far as We
have heard no loss of life occurred dur
ing the storm.

MAINTAIN NATIONAL HONOl

MAINTAIN NATIONAL HONOR.
A strong nation cannot afford to
bear the shame Of breaking faith with
another people. Before going any far
thor In the direction pointed at by the
Geary act for the exclusion of the i'm
migrants from China, it may be we'll
tor the American people to look over
it, covenants, expressed aud implied,
with that government. Il section of
the treaty of 1868 made with China
reads as follows:
1.-THE United States and the Emperor
Of China cordially recognize the inher-
ent aud inalienable right of men to
change their home and allegiance, and
also the mutual advantage of free i'm
migration of their citiZ"ns and subjects
especially from one country to another,
for the pnrp"sts of curiosity, trade, or
as permanent residents"
It Is well to remember also that Chi
na did not originate the liberal ideas
this clause suggests in regard 10 the
right of Immigration and emigration.
1t was christian America which sug-
gested and insisted upon the "inherent
and inalienable right" Of both ''citizen
and subject" TO range over the whole
round world, "for the purposes of Gu
riosity, trade, or as permanent resi-
DENTS" China was almost literally
compelled to abandon policy she had
pursued for many centuries based upon
ideas exactly opposite. Sne did not
want to recognize the right of her sub
jects to ''rmigrate'' at will, nor of
tho American citizen to ''jmmigrate"
into the 'Flowery Land" for purposes
OF "curiosity, trade, or as permanent
residen.s"
After having, by sort of Diplomatic
compulSinn, brought China to agree to
this broad doctrine, at the demand of
demagogues of the Dennis Kearney
type, we are asked to eat our own
words and violate our plight-d faith.
How brightly the we'll kept faith of the
Chinese government contrasts with
this is shown by a resolution passed
this weak by the Presbyterian General
Assembly now sitting, ut Washington,
as follows: "Resolved, That we place
on record our deep gratitude for the
favor extended to our missionaries and
their wo k in China by the Chinese au-
thorities, and tor the settlement of the
difficulties which exist, especially in the
Chang Yung district.'
Mr.. J. Russell Young, for years an
official resident in China, says: The
youngest nation of the world should
aid the oldest in SOLVING the gravest
problem that has ever taxed the wisdom
of Statesmen. This will never be done,
however, until we realize that strength
can never come from wrong, and that
issues reaching down into the very
heart Of our national hopor and pros
perity are not settled by a fifteen min
utes' brawl, called a debate, in the
House of Representatives."
