Tn, Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the1little frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backsT exclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
a way"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF" grumbles the cook. "He
never had to work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed
Hang such collar button" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. 'If / were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ide as
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as IN
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who

SOME Of the south Texas papers
are DESTROYS Of seeing the Calves
ton and Dallas News recognized at
Washington by the appointment
of BelO to a foreign mission. 1t is
true that the Newses have been
straight out Cleveland organs
when there were few in Texas who
kept the faith, but it is not yall
certain that the proprietOrs of
those journals desire any recOgni-
ton beyond that they already
have secured. 1t would leave
them in a position less favorable
for Independent criticism than as
at present, and that is a considera-
ton with newspaper of the
News stamp that is not to be light
ly esteemed. 1t is the only really
independent Democratic journal in
Texas and it would be a loss to the
state to impair that indie
pendence. 1t is straight dem
Ocrat, and yet it is above pander-
ing to party prejudices.

SPAIN is well nigh bankrupt.
Her revenues are insufficient for
the regular expenses of govern
ment that does not know how to
ecOnomize. The necessity of re-
trenchment is apparent, but the
head of each department of the
government is only willing that
the retrenchment take place in
some other bureau. This is caus-
ing dissensiOn and threatens the
dissolution of the ministry. That
country needs some lessons in a
true Republican simplicity. 1t is
the curse of that country that she
is at the same time poor and proud,
and the two do not hitch.

THE first chapter in the book of
the immaculateness under : the
HOgg administration closes, but
the Adamac perfection of the adj
ministration is not as apparent as
was to be expected from the claims
to sanctity that have been adj
vanced. 1t is just as well not to be
righteous Overmuch in this state
as it was in the days of the ancients
when this truism was put forth for
the instruction of the people.

THE last Democratic congress
spent more of the peoples money
than its Republican predecessor
did, and they have not so much to
show for their outlay. Smoke that
in your pipe when you hear some
fool partisan talking about the de-
pletiOn Of the treasury by Republic
can extravaganza. Revenues were
depleted too rapidly by putting
sugar on the free list and cutting
down customs on other products,
while the payment of bounty for
sugar production had it's own effect
in increasing expenses. There is
no justice in that cry of extrava-
gance and the Democracy who do
any Of their own thinking know
it.

of interest in their business affairs. They
are Overpowered bv a sense of lassitude,
IangROr and dullness. Their Wanted
strength ana self control seem to nave left
them when most needed; already they have
experienced lack of old time vIgOr, q GER
tain lack of cOnfiden ce, and nervous appre-
hensiOn instead of the old courage; con-
slant feeling of las ,itude and waning am
btion; their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusterlesS, they are haunted with mel
anchOly and frequently have the blues
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
and night by night; they are easily discOur-
aged, irritable, mOrOse and unhappy; pleas
ureS tire and friends bore them.

PROFESSOR NIRCHOw wants to
get an insight into the superb
methods of quarantine in the Uni
ted States, by which the threat
ened cholera visitation of last year
was prevented. He thinks that the
danger from the epidemic will be
less this year than last, principally
owing to the greater precautions
that will be taken in the ports of
Europe against it's ravages and the
increased purity of the water sup
ply in Hamburg where the great
est danger existed then. A new
water supply has been created for
that city, one which the Professor
says is pure, and does not contain
the germs of disease as did the Elbe
water.

HENDERSON TIMES thinks that
the next President must come
from Texas. Not bit of it. 1t is
Republican time in 1896, and the
disgruntled Democrats will take a
seat almost as far back as the old
wheel horses of the party are taking
now. The next president will be a
western man, but he will not hail
from Texas. Even should it be so
ordered of fate that a Democrat
should be elected to succeed Gro
Yer he will not hail from Texas.
No state that elects a man like
James stephen HOgg two success
i've terms can control a presiden-
tial nomination. This fact is as
patent to the decent Democracy of
the state as the sunshine.
