: Texas SIN superior.

When the group of newspaper men is
formed in the press gallery of the House and
flashes of wit are flying about, says the
Washington News, it is not often that the
brightest spark does hot emanate from the
brain OF Mr.. VIM Sterett, otherwise known

Holding Court in Oklahoma.

The pathway of judicial officers in Okla
homa is not strewn with roses. Attorney
Parker of Oklahoma City. who was in Topeka
recently, tells correspondent of the Pitts
burg Dispatch a story OF JUDICIAL life in that
region that IS anything out pleasant. The ex-
perlence OF judicial party that started from
Oklahoma City to hold court in the Potta-
watOmle country will serve to dispel any rO-
mantle notions which the people may enter

Judges and court officials in the territory

and the court stenographer, Miss Ada Blank,
and two promlnet lawyers, left Oklahoma
City, ana atter hfty-fOur miles of hard riding
reached Iecumseh at 10. 30 clock that night.
The hotel had one vacant room and the
only annex in that part of the country was
the hayloft over a small barn. The room was
turned over to the lady memCer OF the party
with the assurance OF the dignided court that
the men had secured comfortable quarters in
another building. With a placid smile that

one of the lawyers had to get beneath his un-

Work for Mechanics.

1t looks as if there would be considera-
Bile work for builders, bricklayers and
carpenters in this city within the next
month or two. There is quite a number
of dwelling houses in course of erection,
and it is probable that good many more
will be built during the year.
The most important buildings in sight,
however, are the government building TO
be erected on Bull street and the build
ing to be erected on the site of those re-
Gently destroyed by fire on Bay street.
and occupied by NJ. Ferst's Sons & Co. IL,
and the Savannah Grocery Company
The government building will be an i'm
posing one costing over S300, 900, and it will
afford employment for a good many me-
chanics and laborers. 1t will take a year.
probably, TO complete it, and when com
pleted it will add much to the attractive
ness of Bull street.
The building that will be erected on
Bay street will, no doubt, be much like
the one that was destroyed The building
that was burned was handsome one,
and the new one will not be inferior to it
in that or any other respect.
These buildings may, and doubt
less will have the effect of encouraging
building Improvements. They will put
good deal of money in circulation, and
greatly help the. mechanics, who have
had comparatively little to do for a num-
Der of months.
The outlook for better times is slowly
but steadily becoming brighter, and the
probabilities are that there will be much
greater activity in real estate and in
building before the summer is over than
there is at present.

The republican papers of New York, in
attempting to explain away the dis
courtesy shown to Chairman Wilson AT
the board of trade banquet in that city.
make themselves ridiculous. The New
York Advertiser offers this: In the
grand cafe of the Hotel Waldorf, where
the dinner was held, there is a large
cuckoo clock 1t so happened that Just as
Mr.. Wilson arose to speak this clock
called the hour" 1t is too late, however
for any such explanation to be accepted.
1t is not in the least likely that all the
newspaper reporters who heard the excla-
nation mistook the mechanical squeak
of cuckoo clock for a human voice, and
it is quite certain that very few of them.
if any at all, having knowledge that it
was clock and not a man, would have
falsifed about it.

A Chicago dispatch estimates that
within year 10000 people in the west
have joined churches as a result of religi-
Gus revival meetings. Moody and Sankey
are at present holding great revival in
Washington, Sam Jones has recently
closed a successful revival at Nashville,
and there are great revivals in progress
in New York and New Jersey. Have the
hard times anything to do with the sue
cess of these meetings? Do people be-
come pious as they become poorl If so,
then the panic of last fall and the depres-
sion now felt are not without great and
good results.

An Actors Mistake.

A celebrated French actor came over to
England. says the Ladies Pictorial. He had
studied our language carefully. His friends
were little anxious about his powers Of a c-
quiring our difficult pronunciation but he
said he felt confident that. well made up and
by gaslight, his accent would pass muster.
But, alas! he was overhopetul. The critical
evening arrived, and he wanted at the most
pathetic moment Of the play TO exclaim. in
hroken-volced despair, l shall die shall
die! there is peace in the grave" but his
histrionic powers carried him away and he
forgot his carefully prepared pronunciation
and. in heart-hroken tones, he soDbed forth :
Il shall die, l shall die there is peas in the
gravy And then he could not understand
why all the theater shouted with laughter
why Is il that there are no marriages in
heaven"
Because in this world the good girls are al
ways plain looking Lille

The esteemed Philadelphia Press, pro-
tectionist, prints this very interesting
paragraph on its editorial page: paper
yarn is now being substituted for other
cheap stock in carpets, and is said to be
superior to shoddy and mungo. both in
cost and strength. OF course, the paper
is used only in the body and on the under
side OF the texture, and not on the upper
surface. 1t is said that So per cent. of a
carpet may be made of paper without
customer suspecting it," The Mckinley
tariff imposes an average of SO cents per
square yard and 40 per cent. ad valorem
on carpets, nominally for the purpose of
enabling the American manufacturer to
give US carpet as good as can be bought
elsewhere for the same amount of money.
and at the same time to pay American
workingmen higher wages than foreign
workingmen receive. Yet we have il
stated here, in the protectionists' own or
gan, that the carpet manufacturers, who
have recently been reducing the wages of
their employees and shutting up their
mills, not content with protection To
the amount of nearly if not quite 100 per
cent, are actually putting more than 80
per cent. Of paper into the carpets thew
are selling for straight goods, From the
protectionist point Of view IL seems 10 be
al right so long as IL can be done with
out customer suspecting it," That is
the character in manufacturing enter
prises that is fostered b. protection.

There is movement afoot in Florida to
have the legislature convened in extra
session to repeal the ambiguous lottery
law under which it is claimed the Louisi-
ana lottery is seeking to establish itself at
Port Tampa City. The date of the next
regular session of the legis-
latnre is April ?, 1895, so that the
law will have a good while yet to run if
an extra session is not convened and the
law repealed. If an extra session should
be called for the purpose of repeating the
law, it is pretty safe to say the lottery
would establish lobby at Tallahassee,
and one that would disburse a good deal
of money. Indeed, it might drop" more
money in Florida than was left there by
the great prize fght-an event that was
regarded as good thing for the com
munity in which it occurred.

Who all his life did cattle

Nor plain Ilacatecotl.
He went to spelling school each day,
And though man of mettle.
He could not conquer Iopiltzin,
Nor Huitzllopochetl
He dwelt some time in Yucatan,
And there, at Tzompantiln,

Did all his mind unsettle;
But, spelling still, he choked at last

it will be observed, was severest and was
attended with the greatest number of
fatalities, in that promised land into
which so many thousands of people rushed
last year and the year before-Oklahoma
From one section of that territory the re-
port comes that twenty persons were
frozen to death, and that a man killed his
wife, five children and himself in order
that they might be spared the fortunes of
lingering death from the cold. All this
should be interesting reading for persons
in moderate circumstances in the east and
south who contemplate seeking homes in
the west with view to improving their
fortunes. During the time people were
freezing to death in Oklahoma and Ne
braska, the thermometer was registering
from so TO 6S degrees in Georgia. The
south is unquestionably the best place on
earth in which to live and enjoy life.

The LawYers Got it AL

Recently the MORNING News called at
tention to the responsibility of Judges.
pointing out that such enormous fees are
allowed in certain classes of cases that
many people who have differences about
business matters do not resort to the
courts to get what they believe to be
their rights because of the cost of liti-
cation. A confirmation of this statement
of the cost of litigation is found in a dis
patch published in the MORNING News
yesterday from Camden, N. j. A man
died in that city leaving an estate of
about 10000, large part of which he
left by will to Henry George, the single
tax advocate.
Some of the heirs opposed the giving of
any part Of the money to Mr.. George.
They began proceedings in court to set
aside the will, and then the fees of law
yers and court clerks began to make sad
havoc with the estate.
Out of the estate only 5000 is left, and
the case is not yet ended, and will not
end probably as long as there is a dol
lar in sight. Henry George will get
nothing, the contentious heirs will get
nothing, and the widow of the dead man
died few days ago in the poor house.
1t pays people to keep out of the courts.
There are too many judges who think a
fee bill is never too big. They are in sym
pathy with the men of their profession to
such an extent that they make no effort
to protect the interests of those who seek
redress in their courts.
What is needed is big reform in the
matter of fee bills and court charges.
These bills and charges in many localities
are so enormous, and so many ways of con-
tinuing litigation are found, that it is
frequently wiser to accept heavy losses
than to go into the courts for redress.
