WHERE DOES he sTANDP
HE Must Fish Or Cut Bait. y

me must FISH VI Gut balC,
| From the Texas Stockman:
In a recent speech delivered by
Hon. A. w. Houston, candidate for
Congress in this, the Twelfth Con-
gressional, district of Texas, he is
reported as follows:
ale (Mr. Houston) denounced as
campaign lie the story that he
was in favor of the doctrine of pro-
lection, but intimated that if he
had been in Congress during the
tendency of the Wilson bill he
would at least have labored for an
equitable tariff,--one that would
not sacrifice the sheep man for the
benefit Of the wooden manufacture
err. He would have made a fight
within the party ranks, but at the
last would have joined shield to
shield with his people for the great
principles Of the party.
If Mr.. Houston has been cor
rectly reported he now goes on
record as being an enemy to the
policy Of protection. Mr.. Houston
made his campaign for nomina-
ton on the theory that il nomi-
mated and elected he would stand up
first, last and all the time for pro.
lection for the wool and cattle in
terests of west Texas. 1t was these
ante convention statements that
secured forhim the nomination for
Congress. Now that Mr.. Houston
has been nominated it is apparent
that he has forgotten his ante con-
vention promises.
1t will not do for Mr.. Houston to
talk free trade in one section of the
district and pose as protectiOnist |
in another. To use a slang phrase,
he must either. "fish or cut bait"
The people of west Texas want to
know in unequivocal language |
just where Mr.. Houston stands as
the tariff. They want to
know if he is for free trade or pro-
lection. There is no middle ground
which he can occupy with any de-
gree of safety, no matter how we'll
satisfied he is that he is big
enough and broad enough to strad-
die this question.
From the tenor of Mr.. Houston's
speeches we are to infer that he
will make fight for the protection
If the wool and live stock indus
5ries of west Texas within party
ines, but should his party refuse
20 accept his views he will be COM
)elled to go with his party. This
will not do. This was precisely |
he position taken by the Hon. T.
VI. Paschal, which resulted in his
lefeat in his canvas for renomina-
ion. The people of west Texas
,annot afford to take any more
chances.
A protectionist-one who will
stand up for the material interests
If west Texas, first, last and all
he time, both inside and outside of
party lines-must be sent to Con-
yress from this district this year.
If the two prominent candidates,
Houston or Noonan, who can best
oe relied upon in this matter? 1t
S not for us but for the people to
decide,

that all this should be done unless he
should make other disposition Of his prop
erty before his death. AS a matter of
fact he did make two other wills, and his
will which he left in America at his sail
ing away in 1898 became the subject of
legal contest. In 1906 he made a codicil
to this will in Paris by which he be-
queathed 50, 700 to a friend. Later he
wrote will at Soleur, in Switzerland,
which seems to have been the result of
his friendship for certain family with
which he came frequently in contact, and
from whom he received many assn
RANGES of regard. This instrument was
written in French, and an exact copy in
that language is on file in the registers
office. There was much difficulty in es-
tablishing the legality of this document,
as the laws of France differ from ours on
those matters. When the instrument
was executed Kosciusko was legal res
ident of Berville. This last will gave
s., 600 TO his executor, "a Erenchman, and
10000 francs each to the two lovely
daughters of Pierre Joseph Zelbeur.
The will of Dolly p. Madison, the wife
of the president, who reiGned as Wash
ington's first social queen, is stored away
with the documents for the year lS49. DR..
M j. Griffith, the deputy register, said
that she must have been very sick when
she signed it, for her signature is very
feeble She had 900 to give away, the
amount which congress had appropriated
for the purchase of her husbands papers
One-half of this she gave TO her son, John
Payne Todd, by her former husband, and
the other half to her adopted daughter
This sum stood invested at the time of
her death in the name of James Buchan-
an, who afterward became President of
the United States.
The lasC will and testament Of Chief
Justice Salmon =. Chase is a bright and
shining example of the saying that law
yers make poor wills for themselves.
His will is brief and to the point, and it
was defective, because it devised certain
real estate to the District of Columbia
and had but two witnesses. The law de-
mands that there shall be three wit
nesses. He had followed according to the
Ohio law, which requires but two wit

DEATH ON TWO WHEELS
But that is not all that the military
could bring forth to deal death to a mob
There is little machine on a pair of
wheels which will fly over the pavement
behind pair of horses a mile in four min
utes. 1t is known to fame as the Calling
gun, and an up to date Calling, with mo-
tor attached, can pump bullets out of its
ten cham bers at the rate of 1000 a min
ute. 1t has no conscience. II never loses
It's nerve. 1t does not know the meaning
OF fear. But yell which is sort of a
"rat-tat-tat-tat-tat,' and which makes
the shlyers creep down your back. and
makes you involuntarily throw up your
hands and say: That's enough: I'm
your prisoner, you little steel devil y One
of its bullets-lust one out of the 1000
can kill YOU at distance of 600 yards,
and probably also the man who is stand
ing behind you. Without the motor at
tachment the Gatling gun shoots 1900
shots minute, and a minutes exhibition
of even the antedated weapon would
bring an ordinary mob to its senses, no
doubt. Its bullets are the same as those
used in our army rifles
BY the simple pressure of little lever
the barrel of the gun can be made to move
to the right or left or upward and down
ward, thus literally sweeping the street
with storm of bullets as thick as a
swarm of seventeen year locusts in New
Jersey.
But it is possible that rioters who had
their revolution ~ as they would call it,
well under way. might get hold of riot
guns of their own. and intreDched behind
paving stones and in the windows of
houses-for that matter, had they a
Calling gun they could easily operate it
from the windows of house-and this
way they could NOW down the regulars
or the militia sent TO dispense them.
In that case there is another denth deal
ing machine which will be brought into
play, 1t is the Hotchkiss revolving can
non, which fires 50 one-pouud shots
/ minute. 1t has smelled blood and done
good service, which cannot be said of all
of the marvellous weapons invented of
late for the wholesale butchery of armies
1t was tried on the Chinese by the French
in the Franco-Chinese war with results
that could but delight the bloodthirstiest
of war lords.
What is more, good gunner can hit a
man at distance of 800 yards either with
! a revolving cannon or Gatling gun.

IRON FOUNDERS.

riding is displacing notwithstanding One
liveryman in this city was heard recently
to complain bitterly of the bicycle. When
it first began to be used by people of mod
crate means, it deprived him, he said, Of
the business that these people formerly
supplied in the way of Sunday and after
noon driving. Now he says he is being
cut Off also from many of his wealthy
customers.
The great demand for bicycles has not
induced higher price. This is largely
due to keen competition among manufac-
turers. They are overrun with orders,
but have not dared TO increase their
prices. Indeed, bicycles have never
been so cheap as they are this
year, Che brief time when the stagnation
existed last year excepted. Standard BIZ
cycles can be obtained for 1925, which is
about S25 less than the maximum price of
last year, and the years previous, and is
the price of a wheel weighing from
twenty-five to tweuty-six pounds for
women, while the same price holds for
men. although some dearer 'wheels" can
be had. Many less expensive bicycles
have been and are still in the
market, and have been largely sold.
The failure of mushroom" mauufactur-
ers, attracted to the business by the re-
ported large profits and soon pushed TO
wall by the hard times and competition,
brought many bicycles to the auction
mart, where their cheapness attracted
buyers. Many purchased the expensive
wheels" on the installment plan, only
S25 being required in cash down and 81 so
a month thereafter until the whole is
paid Some riders have bought fancy
bicycles, with wooden guards, rattan
chain protectors and such Ornamental
tions, which are not, however, costly,
increasing the price of the machine only
$50. A plain good bicycle, however is
usually much preferred
Another feature of the year 1894 has
been the addition Of several wheels TO
the standard list, some OF which are said
TO surpass in swiftness the old standbys.
The "bloomers" as the divided skirts
are called, are but slowly becoming pop
ular among women Those who wear
them are beginning TO use mems bicycles,
the shape peculiar to the frame Of the
womens bicycles being thereby no
longer necessary TO them. Many bicycle
riders believe that "bloomers' will soon
be as generally worn here as they are
abroad.
The activity in the bicycle trade, In
marked contrast TO that Of most other
trades, has been a most agreeable sur
prise to dealers. II came In the face of
hard times, after the trade had suffered
collapse in a time of general prosperity,
when through lack Of demand and an
abundance Of supply, cuts in prices, in
some cases amounting TO 80 per cent, had
TO be made to induce sales that would
bring in cash to enable the manufacturers

Bismarck,s mortaeges.
,om the New York Home Journal


Nobody in Germany has felt the evil eff
fects of the agricultural depression more
keenly than has Bismarck. To persons
who have read of the magnificent presents
given to Bismarck by the old emperor it
has been a surprise 10 learn recently that
his estates are heavily mortgaged. His
present from the old emperor after the
Austrian-Prussian war of 1866 was $780,
600, and with this sum he bought his
place at Varzin. After the F'ranco-Prus-
sian war he received from the same hands
the Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe, valued
at $3.50, 600 He inherited the ancestral
estate at Schoenhausen. On April |, 1885,
Bismark's SEVENTEEN birthday, his ad-
mirers throughout the world gave him
that portion of the Schoenhausen prop
erty which his father had been obliged to
sell when times were hard. The money
value of the gift was some 800, 900. Bis
marck is also a distiller, forester, and the
owner of a large brickyard. Despite all
these advantages, however, he has found
it impossible to lift the mortgages,
amounting to about $3.50, 900, which have
encountered his estates for many years
OF his gross income more than 49,, 900
must be devoted every year to paying the
interest on his debts. The burden is not
agreeable TO the old chancellor, and he
has often remarked to his friends. recently
that his ambition to leave an unencum-
bered property to his children would
never be gratihed.

w1mAN GAINS A POINT.
a Certificate of Reasonable Doubt
Issued in His Favor.

New York, July l2.-Judge Barrett of
the supreme court this morning granted
a certificate of reasonable doubt in the
case of Erastus Wiman, who was
recently convicted in the court of
over and terminer before Judge
Ingraham Of forgery for having
forged the name of Il. Bullinger as in
dorser on a check for IS 600 made by r..
G. Dun & Co, and payable TO Bullinger' S
order. The question submitted to the
nIry was whether Wiman indorsed the
name of Bullinger upon the check with
intent to defraud Mr.. Dun or his partners.
Judge Barrett says that all questions as
10 whether the Endorsement was
made with intent to defraud Bullinger
or defraud Mr.. Wiman's own bank were
substantially excluded from the consider
alton of the Jury. Under the certificate
which is DOW granted by Judge Barrett,
an application will undoubtedly be made
for the release of Wiman on bail pending
the appeal and its decision by the general
term of the supreme court.
