In 1869, four years before Sena-
tor Sherman introduced his famous
bill demoetizing silver, while he
was vet poor man, he said in the
United States Senate: "EEhe con-
traction Of the currency is far
more distressing operation than
Senators suppose. Our own and
other nations have gone through
that operation before It is not
possible to take that voyage with
out sore distress. To every person,
except capitalist out of debt or .
salaried officer or annuitant, it is q
period of loss, danger, lassitude OF
trade, fall Of wages, suspension OF
enterprise, bankruptcy and disaster.
It means the ruin Of all dealers
whose debts are tmier their bnsi-
ness capital, though one third less
their actual property. II means
the fall of all agricultural produc-
ton without any reduction OF taxes.
What prudent man would dare to
build house, railroad, factory
or barn with this certain fact

The following from the Sc. Louis
Republic shows that the matter of
statehood is attracting attention
throughout the country: Congress
should az rapidly as possible admit
the territories 20 statehood. Th~
highest public interest il, as rnie,
conserved by creating state gov
ernment in the place of the form
OF regulation which does duty as
government in territories. There
may be objection in the east to the
creation of states, which shall exert
equal power in the senate; but
there is hardly q 'erritory nov ap-
plying for admission which would
be, as state, less entitled to full
senatorial representation than is
Rhode Island. Whatever the po-
lirical considerations involved in
any Of these casrs, il is . duty the
government owes to the people Of
the territories to give as soon a.
possible the right to govern them
selves. There are principles in the
question which should out veigk
policies in It's final settiement'

The lrrigrtion Congress.

The International Irrigation Con
gress which convened in Los An
geles on The 10th inst was largely
attended and 1t is safe to say that

surveys to formulate uniform sys
tenn by which to nse economically
al! the water available.
Second, TO build all necessary
reservoirs and canals to convey
water to the Ian Is, and to add the
cost of snch developments to thr
price of the land, said lands TO b4
sold to actual settlers only, in lots
IT forty acres each.
Powers, Of ARR 'na, presented n
resolution that it is the govern
ment's duty to provide skillfnl hy-
draulic engineers to assist in loc.t
ing, planning and constructing ca
nails, reservoirs and other irri2ating
works, and to extend such other
aids as may be found necessary to
place irrig .ting enterprises on q

A DOLL SHOW
Opened Under Favorable Auspices
Yesterday Afternoon.

AoSGSEudy AI6ornOOu.
Two empty storehouses of the
University block on West Hous-
ton street are converted into a
scene of gaiety and pleasure, the
occasion being the doll show,which
is now in progress. THE doll show
opened yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock and remained open until 10
o'clock last night. 1t will continue
today between the hours of 3 and
10 o'clock p. M, after which it will
close.
A reporter for the LIGHT was
shown around the hall in which
the various booths are located,
through the kindness of Mrs. Bur-
bank, last night. The first booth
represented marriage ceremony.
The bride and groom, as we'll as
the bridesmaids and bridegrooms,
were neatly attired dolls, which
was the work of Miss Finnegan
and Mr.. Pancoast. A ballot is being
taken up for the best little girl in
San Antonio, and the one receiving
the most votes will be awarded the
bride doll. This exhibit is in charge
of Mrs. Manning and Miss Eagar.
The next to behold was taste
fully arranged dolls tea party, for
which credit is due to Miss Prime
and Miss Lane.
Mesdames Clifford, George, Hen
derson, Waelder and Misses Nor
ton, Watson, Reed, Waelder, Har-
nisch, Wolf and about twenty
other young ladies constitute a
committee on arrangement of a
beautiful Christmas tree, which is
laden with presents from Santa
Claus, after which the young folks
hearts yearn so much. This beau
tiful tree will be auctioned off to-
night for the benefit of the Orphans
Home. Anyone wanting to make
a nice present to the children will
have good opportunity now.
Mrs. Clayett is in charge of rep
resentation of a Red Cross hos
pital, which was gotten up by her,
and too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon her for the neat ar
rangement.
In an apartment east of the doll
show is where the dancing takes
place. Theodore ArtZt has been
engaged for the occasion, and he is
constantly saving out sweet music
| for the dancers.

Caste In q BOotblack,

The idea Of caste and class extend.
even to the bootblacking fraternity.
This is illustrated by a recent occurrence
in Broad street.
An Irish shoe polisher has a stand in
front OF Delmonico's old restaurant. Not
long since he entered a brokers' Office to
render professional services. In his alb
sence a dandy young negro seated him
self in the chair and awaited his return.
When the bootblack again appeared
on the scene, he was Mortified. As he
approached his stand the negro said.
''Shine 'em up. please. and be quick
about it."
Not if I know myself" replied the
bootblack, with an oath. Get out of
that chair" he continued. Its bad
enough for me to be shining boots all

It Is a food of energy-the food that
builds up muscle. nerve and constitu.

The requirements Of the system in old
age as a rule are not great. and more
harm Is done by taking toe much food
than by taking too little. | have known
people considerably over - toderive the
greatest benefit from a thorough change
IN diet. 1t seems to ~reJuyenate them.
Of course in old age care should he taken
that the body is not subjected to rapid
changes of temperature. When the ner-
vous power Is decreasing az the result
OF age and the system is losing its power
OF combating cold and strain upon its
energy, a stimulating diet invigorates
and Is conducive to maintaining consti-
tutional stamina better than any other.
