Tennessee is in a worse condition
as to its State Legislature than
Texas. Tennessee is about to suf-
fer the infliction of an extra ses-
sion Of the State Legislature, but
there is this consolation in the
situation, the infamy that attached
to the regular session cannot be
deepened by anything that may be
enacted in the extra gathering.
In Texas it is different, for while
there is no deep and everlasting
gratitude on account of the dis.
tinguished service rendered the
state Of Texas by the late Legis-
lature it is no doubt possible to dc
little worse than they did.

SATURDAY, MAY %, 1895

Fort Worth is pitting its free
coinage convention against the
sound money meeting at Memphis.
A review of the situation when all
the returns are in will convince the
Gazette, OF Fort Worth, now brag-
cling over the great superiority Of
the free silver assembly, that the
people of this country are not very
much out Of plumb with curren-
cy that meets all the wants Of
trade, and in which it is daily and
hourly practicable to pay your
debts in either gold, silver or
paper, without any discrimination
against either. What the country
really wants is a continuation Of
this condition. 1t matters little to
the people who contract and pay
their small debts how the thug is
done, so long as it is done. 1t is
the financier and the broker and
the speculator who are interested
in the particular how the thing
shall be adjusted. The law should
be for the people at large and not
for some particular class who draw
their little profit from the fluctua-
tions OF values.

1t is not an amalgamation of
gold in silver in one coin that is

are considered the only available
ones for coins.

BETWEEN the two, the city and the
county dsilies, the latter, if reasonably
well conducted are the most important
and valuable to the localities in which
they are published. The fact of itself
that such local papers are we'll sustained
at home indicates an intelligent, enter
prising and public spirited citizenship.
Such a newspaper is of itself most
valuable business advertisement in the
interest of the whole community, and
naturally also, those who have the saga
city to parade their own business before
the public through its advertising
columns enjoy the lions share of business
prosperity. This is as true in the interior
towns as it is in the large cities. And it
is also true that as a rule, customers find
that the best bargains are obtained by
the most liberal advertisers for the good
reason that their increasing amount OF
business enables them to give customers
the very best terms.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
The House Has Decided TO Again Hold
Night Sessions.

HARRISBURG, April 15.- The legislators
have not yet agreed upon the date of final
adjournment. Many have grown weary
of their duties and are anxious to get away.
A resolution will probably be offered in
the house this evening fixing May 23 for
the close of the session 1t is thought a
compromise will be made on the following
Thursday. The last session closed on June
l. The question of the final adjournment
was discussed at the conference last Thurs
day night, at the executive mansion, be-
tween the states fiscal officers and Others
to consider the state revenues and appro-
priations for the next two years. No date
was fixed, but it was the unanimous senti-
ment of the gentlemen that the session
should not be extended into June
Beginning this week the senate will ex-
tend its sessions an hour on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays, beginning at
10 o'clock instead of II as heretofore. The
senators have managed to keep up with
the house by holding one session a day
and getting away every Thursday. The
older members of that body say it will not
be necessary TO hold more than one session
day until near the close of the term. By
prolonging the sessions an hour each day
the senators expect to clear their calendar
of all the bills which originated in that
body
The house is expected to hold night ses-
sions beginning tomorrow. The senators
insist that the house devote more time to
senate bills. 1t has been the rule hereto
fore with the house to drop about 200 SEN
ate bills from the calendar near the close
of the session. The senators are tired OF
this, and demand that at least month be
| devoted to their bills, or time enough to
dispose OF them, The house has set apart
this evening for the consideration of SEN
ate bills on second reading

Risked Her Life for a Hnr.o.

SoMERv1LLE, N. j., April 15.-Luther
Martin, who has farm near this place,
had his barn burned last night and four
valuable horses were lost. Fourteen
blooded animals were in the stalls when
the fire was discovered, and they wero all
rescued by the men, But after being
turned loose they became crazed by fear,
and despite the efforts of the men five of
them plunged into the flames again.
Among these horses was favorite of
Mrs. Martin. When she saw it enter the
burning building she pushed the crowd
aside and rushed through the flames after
it. After fierce struggle, in which she
was severely burned the brave woman sue
ceeded in rescuing the animal.

The announcement is given out from
Washington ION the highest authority"
that Mr.. Cleveland has positively stated
that he will not accept, under any circum-
stances, another nomination for the Presi.
dency, If this declaration was made for
the purpose of testing public sentiment
the President and the few lonesome
cuckoos who still futter about him will
not be long in dou bt as to how the country
feels on the subject. Mr.. Cleveland pos
asses the distinction of being almost as
unpopular with his own party as he is
with Republicans.

NOTHING has so agitated Paris for a
long time as the reported discovery by NJ
Groussier of a scientific means of tracing
the paternity of children who know not
their own fathers. 1t is easy to under.
stand with what alarm the news of such
a discovery will be received in a country
where illegitimacy is so common as in
France. The announcement may possibly
cause some tremors of nervousness even
in America. The Paris journalists have
speedily recognized that nothing could
appeal more directly to the interests of
their readers, and they have been inter.
viewing everybody of consequence about
the probable truth and effect of the
momentous news. 1t is not surprising
that some vehement protests have been
printed. 1t is declared that it is time to
call halt in the relentless march of
science when it becomes 50 presumptuous
as to invade domestic secrets which it has
no right to expose.

TAMPA, Fla, April 15.-A serious con-
hagration ON Gerbelt and Matanzas, the
principal streets of Matanzas, Cuba, on
Friday night destroyed the large ware
house occupied by Beabollido q Co., sugar
dealers, and owned by Miret Bros. Loss
is estimated at 5000, 600; insured in North
British and Sun Insurance companies.
Assistance from Havana was requested.
Fifteen persons were injured at the fire,
which is attributed TO incendiarism. A
previous announcement of an intent to
fire the town Sunday night now appears
well founded. The arrival Of Maxine
Gomez on the island is reported, and a
further uprising In Puerto Principe.

oned Sanguilly, arrived on the steamer

THE INCOME TAX FIGHT.
No Possibility of a Rehearing Before Next
Fall or Winter.

No Possibility of Rehearing Before Next
Fall or Winter.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The determine
ton of the appellants in the income tax
cases to secure a rehearing before a full
bench of the United Soutes supreme court
on the points on which the court divided
has caused a renewal of interest in the
question of Justice Jackson's health and
the possibility of his return to the bench
at an early day. Late advices from Judge
Jacksons home at Nashville say that he
is constantly improving, and that barring
very annoying cough, his physical con-
dition is fairly good. 1t is also stated from
the same source that he expects to be able
to resume his duties as a member of the
court at the beginning of the October term.
There remains only little more than a
month of the present term, and it is not
suggested that ne may return for this
brief period.
In view of this fact there can be no pos
sibility of another argument in the case
before next fall or winter. This is equally
true if Justice Jackson should decide to
retire permanently from the bench, which
it Is understood he has no thought of do
ing In that contingency, however, the
bench could not be filed before the as
sembling of congress. No instance is
known when "a man nominated for the su-
preme bench has taken his seat before he
was confirmed by the senate. Congress
will not convene until next December, and
under no circumstances would the senate
he likely to pass upon nomination of
this magnitude until after the Christmas
holidays. Action might indeed be post
poned much longer, and it probably would
be if the predictions of the nominee
should be opposed 20 the income tax, as
the senate is committed to the law, 1t is
also suggested that justice who had not
participated in the first hearing might
feel delicacy in sitting when the case
was under consideration the second time
1t is quite possible that the petition for
rehearing may not be granted. The
courts rule of procedure in such cases Is
only to grant such petitions upon the re-
quest of member of the court who has
voted in opposition to the wishes of the
petitioner.

BRITISH DEFEAT IN CHITRAL.
Colonel Battye Killed While Leading a
MasterIy Retreat.

Masterly Retreat
SIILA, April 15.-The guides and infan.
try belonging to the brigade of General
Waterfeld, part of the force operating
against Umra, khan of Jandol, were de
tached from the brigade and crossed the
Punjkora river to reconnoiter and to chas
tise some villagers who had been firing on
the British camp. The British met q
strong force of the enemy and were com
PEELED to retreat covered by an artillery
fire from the camp. Colonel Battye was
killed and several others Of the British
were wounded. The natives showed great
determination, and are still in force on the
Punjkora river.
The natives kept up a dropping fire on
the British while the latter were engaged
in constructing raft bridge over the river.
The bridge was finally finished, and Col
onel Battye, who was in command of the
guides, crossed over safely, with orders to
form camp in the morning and to de-
stroy the native villages. The enemy find
ing that their fire had not prevented the
completion of the bridge, decided to de.
stroy it. During the night they threw
immense logs into the river above the
bridge. These We're caught in the rapid
current and carried down with great force
upon the fran bridge, soon pounding it to
pieces.
With the destruction of the bridge Col
onel Battye and his party were cut off from
the main body of the British force Colonel
Battye, however, proceeded into the hills
to punish the natives. Soon he signalled
across the river to General WdUurl id that
two hostile bodies We're approaching. Gen
eral Waterfield sigaalled back orders for
Colonel Battye to retreat. General Water
fields force covered the retreat with their
mountain battery and Maxim guns which
were on the bank of the river for this pur-
pose. Colonel Battye executed the retreat
in mastery manner.
When hotly pressed by the enemy halt
was made and Il whitening fire poured into
the pursuers, whose confusion would en-
able the British force to retire little fur
! ther. These tactics succeeded until the
British reached wide plain, when, through
| fear of hitting their own men, General
Waterfields party were obliged to cease
firing, leaving Colonel Battye to depend
on his own resources. The retreat con-
tinued in an orderly manner. Colonel
Battye was killed by bullet just as the
British got within hailing distance OF
General Waterdeld's camp. The enemy
lost heavily. 1t is now reported that they
have dispersed.

this city. His death was very sudden. He
was taken with pains in the left side in the
morning and doctor was called in. He
said the pain arose from passage of a
stone from the bladder, and administered
morphine. At 1 o'clock Mr.. Scott became
unconscious, and the doctor was hastily
summoned again. He found that apo
plexy had supervened, probably brought
on by the pain, and Mr.. Scott died without
recovering consciousness. Mr. Scott ar.
rived in this city on Friday last from Chi
cago with his wife, his niece and his
adopted daughter, Miss Grace Hatch. He
was apparently in good health and spirits,
but said to his friends that he had been
overworked and intended to visit Old
Point Comfort and Virginia Beach to take
a complete rest for some weeks.

THE uneasi ness with which Spain re
CARDS the Cuban insurrection today is in
marked contrast with the staggering
confidence and assumed contempt with
which she greeted the first tidings of the
revolt in the Pearl of the Antilles. AL
though the mother country has dispatched
boatload after boatload of troops to the
scene of hostilities, the Cuban outbreak
is more formidable and menacing than
ever. Late advices state that insurgents
have now appeared in the central part of
the island, and the indications are that
the insurrection may break out in the
western provinces at any day. The Ameri-
can people will watch with sympathetic
interest the progress of the insurgents in
Cuba. That island is virtually part of
the American continent, and should be
such politically. The system of govern
ment to which Cuba is a victim is an
anomaly on American soil. 1t is a de.
spCtism pure and simple, which is founded
on and perpetuated by force Spain
makes no pretense of ruling Cuba for the
benefit of its people. She uses it simply
for the purpose of aggrandizing herself
Ii is time that this medieval robber was
compelled to release her prey. There will
be a general hope that the present revolt
Is the crimson streak which heralds the
dawn of Cuban liberty and independence.
