Nugent seems to be the only
apostle Of the Populists whose
voice reaches across the state.
That investigating committee of
the Senate has found Buttz, but
what will they do with him?
It's no sign of a simple legisla-
ture when it's work simplifies the
legal code, but the contrary.
If this Congress could only expel
the lobbyists from the National
capital it would be forgiven.
The wisest government has the
fewest thou-shalt-nots in it. Vide
j Judaism and Christianity.
Hogg is paving the way for a

The House will either swallo W
the tariff bill as a bolus when 1t

ceptable condition.

AS between an exclusive money
standard there is little to chose, be
it eithersilver or gold, in the pres

going to do the same in Texas.

The unequal distribution of
wealth is the inevitable result of
free conditions of living. To argue
against this distribution is to argue
against the inevitable DEGREES that
are written in the constitution of
the human subject. Wealth is the
result of wise provision and not of
accident,

Two necks stretched in South
west Texas today by the hangman,
but it will have no deterrent effect
upon crime. The punishment fol-
lows quick upon the heels of the
crimes committed and for this
promptitude in action the courts
in this section are to be commend
ed. 1t is not the fault of the law
that punitive measures do not pre-
vent crime, but it is the stupidity
of the law makers that has so long
closed the eyes Of the people to the
insufficiency Of this means OF eff.
fecting reformation.

A Help to the Microscopist.

VIII n one eye is looking through an
instrument like the microscope and the
other, b ing open. is regarding the OBJ
jects outside the tube, an image is
formed on each retina, the blending of
which usually causes confusion. 1t re-
quires a mental effort beyond the po%er
of most people to dis gard the i'm
preston in one eye and fix the atten-
ton upon the other only. Again,
when n eye is closed by the contrac-
ton of the orbicular muscle, or by
PRESSURE, as with the hand, a contra
ton OF the &C ,ommodating muscle, and
h a OF the open, occupied eye, is
caused As well. To meet thi, difficulty.
DR.. l.. b. Hall has provided a simple
contrivance which etfectually shuts off
the light from the unoccupied eye and
leaves the other eye in possession of
its maximum efficiency, and, moreover,
the ability to do its work in comfort.
This cOntrivance consists of a small
disk OF bla"kened bra : about the size
and shape of a spectacle glass. ana sup
ported near the eye by Il wire extend
ing from its outer margin o~bliquely
downward to a point low enough t. be
ont of the way or the nose, then bent
upward parallel to the tube, but not
touching it, and attached to a cut ing
which clasps the top of the draw tube
beneath the ocular. 1t can thus be
easily swung around and adjusted to
the eye.
