Texas Tells Her Tale.

The results of the recent state cleo
ton were highly gratifying to Texas
Popullsts, even if they did not elect
their ticket. Their enormous gains
and the remarkable decrease IN the
Democratic vote afford a well-founded
hope of victory two years hence. In
the election of 1892, when the Texas
Democracy was divided the combined
vote for their two candidates was $685.
88l; this year the united party gave
Culberson, as it now appears from un-
official figures, about $4,000 votes;
showing loss of nearly 1l4,00o.
Two years ago Judge Nugent, the
Populist candidate, received 1O9, 1873
votes; this year he has received, ac-
cording to the best informotion we
have, about 163, 600; showing a gain
Of more than 1000. 1t should be re-
membered, too, that the vote in Texas
IS straight Populist vote, and not
fusion vote like that by which Kansas
and Colorado achieved success two
years ago. The Peoples party of
Texas now claim to have elected to
the Twenty-fourth legislature sixteen
members of the house and one sena-
tor, J. L. Darwin, of Delta, from the
Second district.
There is unmistakable evidence
that the Democrats haye been guilty
of some contemplate trickery in their
effort to save their party from defeat
Frauds, miscounts, intimidation, and
open violation of the election laws al e
charged against them in different parts
of the state. 1t is believed that fair
ballot and honest count would give
the Peoples party representation in
six or seven of the congressional dis.
tricts. 1t is proposed to investigate
all such cases and contest the elec.
ton wherever there has been any
fraud. j. H, (Cyc!one) Davis has
served notice that he will contest the
election in his (the Fourth) district.

WHEN HE HAD RIDDEN ON.

SIZE was poor, unlettered maid,
With but one gown to wear.
He, riding down the street, delayed.
To gaze--for she was fair,
He spoke with Ter as xalliants may.
And then he rode away.
He sighed to see such beauty drest
In garments poor and plain.
Some feeling stirred within his breast
That was akin to pain.
He spurred his steed and gallOpped OIL
She watched till he was gone.
In time the wheel OF fortune brought
The maiden gold and place.

For such tardy Fate.

When he had ridden on.

The Baltimore Plan.

What is known as the Baltimore
plan is currency project presented
at the national convention of bankers,
recently held at Baltimore.
The scheme includes the retirement
of the greenbacks. For this purpose
bonds, of coulse, must be issued.
The government is to loan new
issues of money to the banks up to
half their cacital stock, without Sec
uritv. at one half of one per cent an
rum interest.
To relieve the banks in times of
money stringency-to increase the
money volume when the banks want
it increased to keep them out of the
hole, further loans are made to them
equal to one-fourth of their capital
stock at a rate of interest larger than
the half per cent. The rate for this
additi onal loan is not stated, but we
saw>where one banker suggested three
or four per cent,
Government is to redeem the money
issued to the banks when presented
by the holder and is to have a first
lien on the banks assets. A fund OF
FIVE per cent on all money issued and
loaned to the banks is to be deposited
by the banks with the government to
be used in reimbursing the govern
ment for any loss in redeeming notes
of any failed bank. This fiye per
cent fund is to be paid in easy in
stallments, two per cent when they
get the loan, and J of l per cent for
six years.
The proposed system of issuing or
loaning money to the banks is differ
ent from the present plan of loaning
to them IN this: Under present sys
TEN they are required to put up U. S.
bonds as collateral for the loan, keep
5 per cent on deposit with U. S. treas
urer and pay one per cent per annum
interest. Under the proposed system
they give no security, deposit tho
same five per cent and pay only one
half of one per cent per annum in
terest.
