your word Of honor that you will never re-

"Well, this is the idea. When man in

tie spring-so innocent looking, you see,
that it will escape the sharpest feminine
observation. The clock at once begins to
lose time. The hands move with just half

when the correct time is a. IN. After
o'clock the hands will move with twice
their usual rapidity until the time lost has
been regained and no longer. At 8 a. m,

thereafter it will jog along sedately so

1T will be of less service to him of

oiples, though I think the 8 a. m. clock is
best suited for average requirements. My
friend is striving to inyent Q clock which
will stop running slowly and begin to re-
gain time automatically the moment q
man begins to look for the keyhole but at
present the project is little more than an
iridescett dream"

The Metallic Spienuor Oh Sno DiPAoa""i"
Corps on New Years Morning.
Washington's most picturesque Tea-
ture, the diplomatic corps, never gets in
to action until the reception at the
White House on New Years day, al
though the individual members will be
seen out ia society for a month or more
before the recognized social season. AT
the New Years reception, however, the
diplomats come out strong, and the pro-
cession of the members of the foreign
Legations and embassies frdtn the White
House to the home or hotel OF the secre-
tary Of state, where the diplomatic
breakfast is served, is one of the gala
sights Of the year Many Of the popula-
tion of Washington stay up all night in
order to get a place ON the White House
fence where they may see the procession
pass as soon as it has been received and
properly attended to by the president.
After this reception the entire organi-
zation lines up and puts out on foot for
the home Of the secretary Of state. AS
they pass from the White House grounds
in their glittering raiment they are the
showiest things in Washington and
worth coming miles to see. The lowli.
est attache in the crowd will give cards
and spades to the most showily dressed
drum major in the country and will VIII

bullion strung all over them, while thu

The railway pooling bill, that
was so violently opposed by the
Interstate commerce commission,
is quite likely to become law.
The House is favorably inclined to
its passage and the Senate in so
far as heard from is not adverse.
How far 1t will meet the expecta-
tions OF its trainers and obviate the
evils complained of cannot be as
certained otherwise than by expe-
riment. There will probably be no
serious opposition to trying what
the bill will result in, II put actual
ly in practice, for If it is found not
to work satisfactorily 1t can be re-
pealed. AS matter Of principle
nothing should be permitted to in
terfere with the best carrying in

The cry OF retrenchment and de-
creased expenses that was 80 loud
ly echoed during the late state
campaign has died out of the ears
OF the legislature even before 1t is
assembled. There is not reason
able doubt that the state expendit-
ures will be maintained upon
about the same old footing and
that the rate OF taxation will be
raised to maintain them. This Is
usually the result OF any Demo-
cratic promises to the people on
the eve OF election. Such promises
are like hot corn cake, only made
to be broken.

Hogg Is trying to create the i'm.
preston that the whole world is
waiting with breathless suspense
the decision Of his ex.governorship
as to what particular locality he
will bless with his ponderosity
once he leaves Austin. AS Hogg
always figures for James Stephen
first and for some other fellow az
terward there is not so much de-
pending on his decision to any one
beside J. S. as is supposed. If he
pans out no better for the city
that opens her arms and takes him
in than he did for the state whose
treasury he leaves empty and
whose revenues are depleted and
whose debts are increased, it is not
a matter that Is likely to concern
any one outside of Hogg and his
immediate family or a few per-
sonal friends. The state is large
and it is all before him as a private
individual.

There is not deep water project
that calls for a deep water harbor
on the gulf coast of Texas west Of
Galveston island that does not in
terest the commerce of this city.
There Is not one of these efforts
that II successful will not add
greatly to the commerce Of this
city, tend to open new lines Of
railway communication for her
and develop the large section Of
agricultural and mineral lands
tributary to her. In this view Of
the case the request for aid from
this city In behalf Of these enter
prises Is a reasonable one and
should enlist the cordial support OF

In the battle that is now waging
between the old and the new in mat
ters of social purity there Is graft
flying indication of progress. The
demand that woman shall be
judged by the same social standard
as man is being echoed In very
high places. The women them
selves are taking earnestly to the
new gospel and the manner In
which all over the South they are
turning their backs upon Breckin-
ridge and their batteries upon him,
gives earnest OF the additional
force this movement it to receive
in this unexpected quarter. The
old ideas are more firmly intrench-
ed in the southern mind, and 1t
was not thought by the leaders OF
this doctrine Of moral equality
that 1t would receive a decided en-
dorsement at the South, particu-
larly among the leading families
of the old regime. When q move.
ment like this gets such support In
such society 1t will not want for en-
dorsers.

The result of the caucus held by
the Democratic members Of Con-
gress on the amalgamated currency
bill does not seem to have definite
ly settled the matter of its adoption
as party measure. The attempt
to bind the members of the caucus
to support the bill signally failed
and the small number of support
ers that the bill found, notwith-
standing they were in the MAORI
ty OF the caucus, has left very
uncertain feeling in the minds Of
the promoters of the bill as to
what the party action really will
be when the measure Is actually
debated upon the floor OF the
house.

Welcome the coming, speed the
parting governor. Hogg's message
is a kind Of Old Year farewell, and
Culberson's will be kind OF New
Years greeting. 1t Is a thankless
job that devolves on an outgoing
governor to have to send a message
to legislature that is elected to
give expression to ideas that he is
in no sense clothed with power to
m odify; message that may be re-
pudiated in all that it recommends
by another a week later, emanating
from one with authority to at leas t
veto the legislation that he does
not approve. Is it not a custom
more honored in the breach than
the observance, this one Of making
the outgoing governor send a mes
sage to an incoming legislature?
Why not confine the communica-
ton exclusively to the forwarding
OF reports Of the several depart.
ments and let the matter rest there
until the new governor sends in
his message.
