storm at Longview Tex, on sunday
evening, which lays way over any
thing of the kind detailed in section
for years, One man, whose coun-

hail stones which fell there during
the storm, the combined weight of
which was twenty-seven ounces,
an average of nine ounces each.
Cattle, hogs turkeys etc, are re-

RETAINED from putting before the
people any statements which we
cannot sustain. We love the truth
and endeaYor to state it in as plain
and simple language as possible so
that it can be perfectly understood
and needed. A non partisan re-
view of the history of our beautiful
land, so recently rent with internal
discussions, for thirty years lmme-
dlately preceding the inauguration
of Abraham Lincoln, compared with
the thirty years Of Republicanism
following his Inauguration is suffi-
cient evidence to convince the most
stupid. For instance, compare the
wages paid during the two periods
above stated and behold the differ
ence. The former was under Dem
ocratic rule while the latter en-
braces a period occupied by Repub-
lican incumbents. 1t has been
stated that history repeats itself and
indeed to compare the present with
that of thirty-fve and sixty,five
wears ago inclusive, corroborates it.
And yet this period includes those
good old Democratic times tbat.Xa
hear so much about and have
slight idea as to what they really
were. If we have been led into
business transaction which proved
detrimental to our anticlpations we
should pursue another course and
persevere i'll this manner until we
find the right thing. Then, if we
have been voting blindly with "a
party that has proved itself time
and time again inimlcal to our well
fare it is our duty as intelligent and
conscientious voters to join the
party that is cur friend in adversely
as well as prosperity. This is not
so with the dominant party for they
adhere tenaciously to that old Eng
fish saying, "Once an Englshman
always an Englishman.' But Il
good substitute is, "Once Demo-
crat. always Democrat" regard
less of como don and theories.

RAILWAY SECURITIES
IN BAD ODOR AMONG EUROPE
AN INVESTORS.
What is Set Forth in the Report of Coun-
sci General Mason-American Railway
Invested in Less Remunerative Ven
lures Because of the Dishonest Man
agement of Railroad Companies in this
COUNTRY
United States Railways.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Frank Fl.
Mason, United States consul general
at Frankfort, in a special report to
the state" department, states that
American railway securities have
fallen into bad odor in Germany and.
endeavors to point out the reasons
therefor and suggest measures for re-
facilitating them in the financial
world. He says that in Frankfort,
which was the first European money
market to accept United States bonds
during the dark days of the civil war
and where American investments had
been popular, not only are new Sc
curities refused because of American
origin, but railroad stocks and bonds
had for years been returned to
America and their proceeds Invested
in less remunerative Prussian consols
and other standard securities backed
by government credit and supervision.
The consul general says: The
cloud which ov~ershadows American
railway securities in Germany has
of the past two years concerning the
hiohoSSLlSh VI oCNCl d1 1CdoiuR dill
way properties. German investors
served to call the attention of the
people and press more sharply than
ever before to the usurpatlon of power
and evasions of responsibility which,
it is claimed, have become so frequent
in American railway management.
European bonds and shareholders
have been informed" the report con-
%tinues, that the power of the presi-
dent and directors in many important
railway companies has become prac-
tically omnipotent and irresponsible.
They have sent over protests and
proxies to be used at elections for
the purpose of wrestling the control
of corporate properties from the
hands of officers who we're said to be
abusing their trusts and they have
seen these and every other effort to-
ward a change easily and h~opelessly
defeated. That the accounts of an
entire railway system may be falsi-
fed and its securities sustained in
the market by fictitious statements
of earnings and concealment of re-
bates-all of which is believed here
are discoveries of comparatively recent
date.
Until some general measure can
be adopted and enforced, and foreign
investors can have the assurance asked
for that the published statements of
American railway companies are cor
rect and true, and that such malad-
ministration, rs has been revealed n
the affairs of certain systems, is no
longer possible, all such investments
in United States securities will be
more O. less discredlted. and county,
municipal and industrial securities of
American origin will suffer"

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

siany Senators and Representatives Fs-
vor Its Construction by Government Aid.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 16.-The Man
ufacturers' Record publishes special
letters from a large number of United
States senators and congressman. Civ
ing their views on whether the gov
eminent should give financial aid to
secure the early construction OF the
Nicaragua canal. The letters are
probably about equally divided be-
tween Republicans and Democrats.
Senator Sherman of Ohio writes he is
thoroughly committed to the construc-
ton of the Nicaraguan canal and
emphasizes the report made to the
senate in favor Of government aid.
Senator Walsh Of Georgia, says the
Nicaraguan canal is the greatest en-
terprise now before the business
world. He believes it should be built
and controlled by the United States
government; that it would open new
markets for our products from the
field, the mine and the factory, and
would enable America to compete
successfully with European nations
for the trade of the Spanish American
countries and the countries of the

An East st. Louis Justice Holds That
Lost Money May Be Recovered.
ST. LOUIS, No., Nov. 16.-In Justice
James A. WAITS court in East St.
Louis, H. e. Barnes sued for the re-
covery of $1s4 lost at the East Side
race track during October. When
the Ease was tried he produced losing
tickets representing the amount he
claimed to have lost, and succeeded
in convincing the judge of the truth
of his statement.
Judge Wyatt said thai his decision
in favor of Barnes was strictly in
compliance with the state statute
governing such cases, which defined
clearly that a person, upon proving
that he had lost an amount equal to
or more than $40 upon any gambling
device whatever, could obtain the full
amount lost from the parties ~receiv-
ing the same and if not from them
from the ~lessees or owners of the
property upon which such games
were conducted.
A similar case has been comp-o-
missed by the track people. but this
will be carried up. Confirmation of
the decision will end racing across
the river from here.

Jack is one of the dearest boys in
the world, although he has to con-
tend with a very quick temper. A
quick temper, you know, often goes
with many other kinds of most desir-
able quickneSs - quick perceptions,
quick affections, quick sympathies,
and the like, and so it is with Jack.
He is sensible enough, however, to.
understand that, if he is ever to.
amount to anything worthy as a man
or a Christian he must get the mas
terry of this turbulent spirit of his,
before age and habit shall have made
it too strong for him. But it is a hard
struggle, and he is too often worsted.

The Mediation to Be Looked Into BY
Uncle Sam.

The Mediation to Be Looked Into BY
Uncle Sam.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Representa-
tive Bellamy Storer, of the commit
tee on foreign affairs of the house of
representatives, intends presenting
to congress when it reassembles, a
resolution of inquiry as to the action
of Secretary Gresham in suggesting
to China and Japan that this country
act as mediator in the settlement of
the present war. Mr.. Storer is now
making a careful examination of the
subject with a view to taking the
initial steps. The resolutions when
drawn will request the secretary
of state to transmit to congress all
correspondence on the subject, lot
incompatible with the public service.
They will ask for information as to
what departure, if any, from the ira
ditional policy of the government as
embodied in the Monroe doctrine. is
contemplated by the executive branch
in becoming a factor in Asiatic en-
tanglements.
In examining the treaty of 1858,
between China and the United States,
under which the government has sug-
gested it's willingness to mediate, Mr..
Storer says the language does not con
template mediation by the president
or executive branch alone. 1t ~recites
in substance that the United States
will exercise their good offices in case
any nation acts unjustly or OPP
pressively against China. This, Mr..
Storer points out, suggests the good
Offices of the United States, but not
of the president; SO it would be
proper, and perhaps essential, that
the congressional branch of the gov
eminent should act in case such good
offices are to be exercised.
Mr.. Storer says that any action he
takes will be on conservative lines, as
he desires to make his inquiry for in
formation rather than criticism until
the facts are presented.

BREAD RIOT IN CHICAGO.

Discharged Water Department Employees
Dispersed Only by Main Force.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-At noon to-day,
$50 discharged employees of the water
department gathered about the comp
troller's Office in the city hall and de-
manded the wages due to them. The
comptroller sent a clerk to inform
the men that there was no money in
the city treasury to pay them.
Instantly the men became riotous.
Cries for bread and threats of instant
engeanc were howled forth by the
angry crowd and the comptroller,
gathering his clerks, barred the doors
to his office and sent a hurried call for
policemen.
A half dozen officers appeared. but
were promptly rushed out of the cor
ridor by the incensed men. A battal
ion of patrolmen was summoned, and,
after a liberal use of force the rioters
were dubbed into submission and
driven from the city hall.
The large crowd which had been at
tracted by the disturbance was
heartily in sympathy with the ex-
employees and threats to compel in
slant payment of the overdue wages
were numerous, until the police sue.
ceeded in dispensing the throng.

The Short Democratic Congress VIII
Try to Do Many Things.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-While pros
poets of legislation during the closing
session of this congress are not bright,
the Democrats have a very ambitious
program. Not to mention silver
or the pop-gun tariff bills, much
important legislation will be at
tempted. 1t is proposed, first of
all, to attempt a reorganization of
the national bank system, so as to Sc
cure an expansion of the currency on
an easier system of security. Next
to amend the interstate commerce
law, to pass a free ship bill, and an
earnest attempt will be made to pass
a bill putting the Nicaraguan canal
under the control of the United
States government. the government
to bear the costs of construction.
Any new scheme of finance is likely
to meet with strong opposition in the
senate, where it is just possible the
silver men may have a majority.

The Final Dividends Small.

ABILENE, Kan, Nov. 16.-Assignee
John Johutz of the defunct bank of
Lebold, Fisher & Co., announces that
he will pay dividends of four and six
per cent on the estates of Fisher and
Lebold. These are probably the final
dividends, as no more property remains
except some unstable real estate
and some property in litigation,
most, if not all, of which will be re-
CURED to pay the assignee, and such
trust funds as have been established.
The individual estates have paid 10
per cent, but the company only 3 per
GEN.. The liabilities were about
$500, 600. Lebold is now running a
small real estate agency in Austin,
Texas, and Fisher is on a ranch in
Durango, Mexico.
