1861, the members or congress drew
their mileage pay and then repeated
the process the following December,
the law being so obscure on this point
as to permit it. A subsequent congress
in 1866 amended the law so as to limit
the mileage pay of members to the
regular sessions.
This resurrection of the old law by
the comptroller will doubtless prove an
noying to some Of the members who
have come long distances and We're con-
sequently expecting big mileage pay
The California, Oregon, Washington and
Nevada members, for instance, who
have Travelled from 5000 to 1000 miles
apiece in getting here would at the reg
ular session draw from 5000 to $500
mileage pay Like all the other mem
bers, however, they must wait until
the regular session in December to
draw mileage, unless, Of course, con-
gress should amend the law in the
meanwhile. The ruling of the comp
troller means a saving of more than
100000.
Unless some unforeseen hitch occurs.
the presidents message Will probably
go to congress at noon tomorrow.
Statements as to its length and con-
tents are necessarily more or less
conjectllral. From sources believed to
be well informed it is learned that the
message will not be more than two
columns in length, and that it recon-
mends the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act. Pr)-silver democrats eX-
press themselves as agreeably surpris-
ed at what they understood to be the
moderation Of the presidents recon-
mendations They are informed thai
he recommends the unconditional re-
peal Of the Sherman law. He, how
ever, recognizes that silver is one OF
the Smoncy metals of this country
which must be maintained, but points
out that with the present attitude
of European countries, the proper IA
| ito between gold and silver cannot
be maintained by this country alone
Therefore, he does not favor tie coin
age of silver under present conditions
except for subsidiary purposes. He
! thinks the European nations which are
! now depressing the price of silver can,
! by the suspension of it's coinage in this
country except for subsidiary purposes
! be forced into an international agree
! mpnt more favorable than we have
! heretofore had. He is in favor of sill
yer on Il parity with gold, and stands
by the platform of 1892, but says that
| platform cannot be carried out for the
reason that Il fixed parity cannot be
/ maintained.
| Prominent leaders of both wings OF
the democratic party have had convey
! ed to them the impression that these
are substantially the views the presi
dent will express.
/ The presidents message would have
been sent to congress this morning had
! it not been for the early adjournment
Of the senate out of respect to the
! late Senator Stanford. Mr.. Pruden
ne of the presidents secretaries, was
about to enter his carriage with thu
! message when the announcement that
! the senate had adjourned was received
! Consequently the transmission of the
, message was withheld until tomorrow

THE TICKLE CHINA MAID.
Oh, Wing Tee Wee
Was Il sweet Chinee,
And she lived i'm the town Of Tao.
Her eyes were blue,
And her curly queue
Hung dangling down her back;
And she fell in love with Gay Win Sill,
When he wrote his love on a laundry
bill.
And oh, Tim Told
Was a pirate bold,
And he sailed in Chinese junk;
And he loved (ah meW
Sweet Wing Tee Wee,
But his valiant heart had sunk.
SO he drowned his blues in tickle fizz,
And vowed the maid would yet be his.
So bold Tim Told
Showed all his gold
TO the maid in the town of Tao
And sweet Wing Wee
Elopad to sea,
And never more came back;
for In far Chinee the maids are fair,
And the maids are false, as everywhere.

Some of the members of congress
will be grieved to learn that no mileage
will be paid for the extra session The
first comptroller of the treasury has
written a letter in response to an in
quiry from the office of the Seargant-
alarms of the house stating that un-
der the law the members are not en-
titled to mileage.
An act passed in March, 1866. pro
vides that members shall be allowed
mileage at the rate of 20 cents a mile
by the nearest convenient route from
their respective homes to the capitol
for attendance upon the regular SEES
SionS of congress. The comptroller
holds that the use of the word regular
in the law so qualities it as to pro-
hibit him from allowing mileage for
an extra session. 1t is claimed that at
the opening of the extra session in July,

THAT proposed railroad from
Fort Worth to SpoffOrd Junction
would cut off from this city an i'm
mense northwest trade that could
be today secured by road toward
the panhandle. 1t will be only a
short time before the opportunities
that lie before us in the construc-
ton of a northwest line will be cut
off. Once the stream of trade is
turned into other channels it will
be impossible toGturn it our way
again. There should be no let up
to the effort of this city and COM
munity to corral the northwest
trade by opening a direct line of
railway at least as far to the north
west as the line of the Texas and
Pacific.

SINCE it seems settled that Tex
as is to take back seat at Chicago
it would be we'll if San Antonio
would stir herselfsin the matter of
Fair and Exposition of her own.
There is no good reason why such
fair should not be made a success
in itself and the direct means of a
largely increased trade to the bust
ness of this city. Such fair as it
would be perfectly feasible for our
people to establish, in connection
with NOlksfest, would fill the old
city so full for a week that it would
tax the Inequalities of every house
holder to accommodate the visi-
tors. There are brains, energy,
business sense and pride of city
sufficient to make the effort de-
cided success if properly attempt
ed and carried out. The time to
stir in that matter is just about
now. Procrastination is the real
thief.

THE men of means in this city
who are instructed as to what are
the strongest preventatives from
crime must know that there are
wanting in this city almost every
appliance for popular culture and
recreation for the masses, who find
little or no opportunity for these
things at home. If they would help
the youth of this city to better
things, let them interest them
selves in providing free library,
general reading room, gymnasium
and other means of combined
pleasure and instruction, and they
will confer a lasting benefit on an
entire generation, who will rise up
in after years and call them
blessed.

THE fellows who are afraid Of
Hawaiian annexation are more
scared than hurt. In the one hum
dred and ten years Of her eXistance
the Republic has not annexed
enough territory to establish a
precedent for the method by which
such annexation shall be accom-
plished. Hawaii is not wanted for
her territory, but, because this
country cannot afford the risk of
having a hostile island in the path
of her India and Japan trade, and
theOnly sure method of prevention
is annexation. In this case preven-

MEN and WOMEN

Many men and women who sho time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of iron marvel
at their feeling of exhaustion and total lack
of interest>in their business affairs. They
are overpowered by sense of lassitude,
languOr and dullness. Their Wanted
strength and self control seem to have left
them when most needed; already they have
experienced lack of old time vigOr, a GER
tain lack of confidence, and nervous appre-
hension instead of the old courage; con-
slant feeling of lasSitude and waning am
bitten; 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 end friends bore them.

also how to get cured. Do not delay.

ters; laws that cannot be easily
misconstrued a criminal code

dOning power; increasingly severe
sentences for repeated infractiOns
of law; suspension of sentence
where reform seems certain-theSe
are among the changes that would
greatly decrease the criminal cata-
