The police courts OF New York City
are daily crowded with roughs who
have blackened the eyes of their wife-
slaves and the superior courts are
crowded with representatives of the
400" seeking alimony from their leige
lords. Matrimonial differences are not
confined to the low and vulgar but
close the blinds OF many brown stone
front and blind with tears many wO-
men who marry for money. The
greatest blessing of the new condition
of affairs in the South is that oppor-
tunities for women nave been opened
up and the destiny of the sex is not
confined solely to the matrimonial
market. A woman, if she chooses, can
now carve out for herself an indepen-
dent occupation and is not compelled
to marry some man TO insure her a
comfortable support. In the South
the young women are taking advant-
age of these opportunities and declar
ing their independence of a marriage
for convenience.

THE WAR IN THE TRANSV AL
The Beers in the Transvaal are
fighting the Ksffirs, negro tribe, IL
about the same way our ancestors VINO
skirted along the Atlantic fought the
Indians. The stories we read OF the
negroes swooping down upon farm
err, numbering the whole family and
burning up everything on the farm, Ia
but repetition OF the stories we have
read of the Indian raids upon our an
cestors. In fact the parallel goes
further. These Beers declared their
independence from an English pro-
tectorate and successfully fought
Great Britain and established their
independence. The Beers were origi-
nally Dutch and very brave
race of people. They are
said to be the finest marksmen
in the world. The Kaffirs, savage
tribe of negroes, have been preying
upon their outlying settlements until
the Beers have declared a war OF ex-
termination against their cruel and
barbarous neighbors. They, like our
ancestors, are few in number COM
pared to the KafiiIs, but what they
lack in quantity they make up in
quality. 1t is the war OF civilization
and of inevitable destiny against
these savage cumberers ofthe ground
The Beers have an army of 5000 men
and are very likely to bring the blood
thirsty Kaffirs to terms and settle
themyras we have the Indians, on
some reservation where they can keep
them well in hand.

The English philanthropists who
are in this country on an anti negro
lynching crusade might do more good
in Ireland by recognizing an anti.
tenant eviction crusade. The condi.
ton of Ireland under English rule ap
peals to the most pathetic sympathies
of the lovers of the human race, and
ii the English philanthropists have
an extra quantity of tears to shed, let
them weep over the ruined homes OF
the Irish peasantry. These are inno-
cent victims who are driven from
their humble homes by absentee land.
lords to starve in the public roads.
Starvation of the innocent is q greater
crime than the execution by mob of
the negro who is guilty'of the greatest
crime known to civilization.

DEMOCRATS TO THE FRONT.

DEMOCRATS TO THE FRONT.
The Democrats of Travis county, o.
this congressional district and OF the
state generally must remember that
the Third Party are making the most
strenuous and extraordinary efforts to
fasten their clutches en- office, and to
maintain their very existence as a
party in Texas. Elsewhere they have
been most ANONYMOUSLY defeated and
their struggle here is for the last
foothold they can have any
hope of obtaining. Will Texas
Democrats, with the prestige of
their old msjorities, permit them
to plant their party standards on the
soil of this state to which their defeat
ed cohorts elsewhere may rally as on
reserve or will they strike them such
blow as to knock al the wind out Of
them for all time to come?
We have no fear of the results if the
Democrats every where in the state
will do their duty, but we must not
risk indifference based upon the con-
fidence that our old time majority
gives US. We must go to work in
earnest, just as much 80 as if we had
a real established party with pro-
nounced and plausible principles OPP
posed to us.
There is nothing in the Populists.
They are composed mostly of as
pirants for office and disgruntled,
unsuccessful men who con-
tribute their want OF success
and the condition of the coun.
try to the fact that the Democrats are
in power and that they have repealed
the purchasing clause of the silver act
and reduced the Mckinley tariff,
They have strung together all the
abandoned features of all the unsuc-
,essful attempts to organize all kinds
If parties and they are giving us bat
lie backed by these miserable isms
Let US grid up our loins for one grand
blow at the very political existence of
hese pessimists and victory is ours.

THE sultaus of Morocco are always in
hot water. The amiable and humane
Abdul Aziz, who recently succeeded
his father, has involved himself in
trouble by departing from the preced-
ents in such a case made and provided
by the Turkish rulers. Abdul is the
junior aud Muley Hssan the elder.
Muley raised a row when his brother
assumed the imperial purple, and in
stead of beheading him Abdul made
his brother the ruler of the holy city
of Fee. He spretended to be very
grateful, but at the first oppor-
tunity he put himself the
head of the rebellious tribe of
Kabeles and now threatens the
peace and quiet of the imperial harem.
In the meantime foreign governments
are requested not to send representa-
tives to Morocco. This indicates that
Abdul intends to suppress the rebel
lion in such way as might call forth
protes, from civilized nations. Abs
dull or Muley will one or the other find
his head without body in a bag very
soon.

A RECENT decision of the supreme
court of Oklahoma annuls all divorces
granted by the probate courts of that
territory since 1893. In a country
where divorces are so numerous, the
decision annuls 400 divorces. Such
o decision is calculated to stir up a
good many families. In nearly all the
divorces both parties were married as
soon as the decree was obtained.
-Four hundred homes in Oklahoma
woke up the morning of that decision
not knowing where they were at, or
what they were there for. They were
married "de bene esse.n They will
now have to marry 'nunc pro tune"

OOO worth are freed, in the flax, hemp
and lutte schedules $1,7OOC00 worth

value of fbres transferred to the free

the free list by its amendments dress

in its apparent collapse before the
senate, amounting to a saving to the
