There is not such great scarcity
OF money as is urged by the silver
inflationists when a state like Mas
sachusetts can borrow half a mil
lion at two and a half percent.
This is an eye opener.
Some Of the farmers whose lands
lie in the valleys complain Of the
frequent rains, but the sheep and
cattle Of this region are bleatiDg
blessings upon the head Of the rain
dispenser every day.
Southwest Texas halls her deliv-
erance from the destructiveness OF
protracted drouths and faces to-
wards a period Of such prosperity
Of has not been given her for at
least ten years.

with their eyebrows and retire to

There is every indication that
the sound money men r getting

a general falling into line for hard
and soft money, but all Of IL
sound and Of equal value.

The health authorities Of the city
of New York are enquiring into the
measures taken at the ports Of
CIba to prevent the spread Of yell
low fever in that island, and also as
to what means are in use to re-
strain infectious persons and ar
ticles from being shipped to the
ports Of this country. In the eX-
listing conditions that prevail in
that fever breeding country this
Q lquiry is pertinent.

1t is slightly amusing and would
be confusing, were it not for the
we'll known inconsequence Of an
unconsidered editorial utterance,
to note the comments upon the
abandonment Of the Laiao Tung
peninsula by Japan in Difference to
Russia, when the dispatches con-
firm almost daily the fact that the
Japanese forces are g%arrisoning the
forts Of that peninsula and have
possession OF the islands in the
gulf that strengthen possession be-
You'd successful attack. Japan is
promising all sorts Of things, just
as the LIGHT foreshowed a month
ago, but she is holding fast to all
that she has just as though she
was promising nothing. She Is a
diplomatic uncertainty Of the very
first water.

Between late SHOWS, early winds
that dry the moisture out Of a
granite fountain and leave it a
dust heap, drouth that parches the
soul Of nature and leaves the fer
tile valleys a dreary waste, driving
storms that harrow up the face Of
nature and do greater harm than
good, heats that melt the cans that
hold the milk of humankindness
and like uncanny conditions, the
great northern and northwestern
states are in a hard row of spring
vegetables. This goodly land, like
that wli;h lay b,fJre thu ee5yo I
Moses as he climbed the height,

SONS out into the promise of such
an abundant harvest as late years
have not seen under the sun of a
genial prosperity. Texas is in the
highway Of prosperity and will
keep in the middle of the road.

The weather clerk has heard the
prayers of the LIGHT for fair
weather this week and has come
to the rescue in a way that does
credit to the influence Of this jour-

Those who predict that the next
presidential ticket nominated by
the Republicans OF the country
will be Harrison and Morton are
about half right. 1t may be Har-
rison and it may be Morton, but
it will not be both. Morton will
not again run as vice president on
the ticket. He aspires to the chief
seat in the National gift and the
state of New York will back him
for the nomination.

Colorado is now coming in for
her inheritance Of the moisture. 1t
is coming down in such solid
chunks as to cause serious alarm,
lest the underpinning Of the big
rocks would give away and a uni
versal smash ensue. There is great
loss in the mining camps and fears
OF greater to come. Colorado has
not been in the swim for two or
three years,and this kind OF a swim
is not to her notion.

1t is about time that a city that
can entertain the National con-
vention of the Travellers Protective
association, run a Live Stock show

Art League exhibit and engineer a

time, should cease to be called
"Tamaleville." This city has shown
herself the real metropolis Of the
state and ridicule Is out Of place.

Japan is buying quite literally
OF American cotton in the New Or
leans market, the cheapness Of
labor in that country rendering the
cost Of spinning and weaving COM
paratively low as contrasted with
this country, while there is a good

There might be some sense in
the call for the free coinage OF
American silver, but the demand
for the free and unlimited coinage
OF all the silver OF the South
Americas and the far East is one
for which neither sound reason,
patriotism or financial need can be
urged. 1t will not carry with it
the consent and support OF the

the issue is fairly made.

The number OF times it is neces-
sary to kill one Of the Cuban revo-

he is really dead is terribly dis
couraging. These fellows must
have as many lives as the pro-

dents in Cuba have a cinch on in
formation and are trying to obey
the scripture injunction, "buy the

1t does not necessarily follow that
the man who keeps his eye on the

stopped over just as the head of
heavy wheat does.

There is no kick coming to the
great little city of San Antonio for
the manner in which she dis
posed Of the strangers within her

out to cover the ground and
she has done it. No one on

lone stranger walking his legs of

bones. The committee did it's
work Of preparation too thorough
ly for any results Of that kind.

There seems to be no reason to
doubt the conclusion that close
observers of the silver a are
coming to, that the force Of the
movement has reached its cult
nation and the reaction has
begun. This will simplify mat

and it justifies the demand Of the

FACTS ABOUT JUPITER.
Wonderful Figures Fi1 b Express Enough
 Concerning the Great Planet.

Wonderful Figures Fal to Txpress Enough
 Concerning the Great Planet.
 Our most eminent astronomers do not pretend to give us exact reckon inrs on the great floating worlds out side of our own solar system, but with in that moastrous aggregation every thing has been reduceI to certainty. The l1ingpin of the solar system is Jupiter, mighty Jupitcr, the colossal giant of all the sun-!1iascd worlds. '' His diameter is about S8,o39 of cur miles, being :5oat clercn times that of our own globe; the c;rculnfereace 2i5,000 miles at the equator. which would give the giant volulnc exceed ing that of the earth by l,28l times. Were it possiblato bring the earth and Jupiter so close together that the dis tance separating them would be no greater than that which now separates the earth from the noon-about 34o,- 600 miieS-what yoadrous sight would be in store fer the residents of our lit tie globe. The world of Jupiter would appear to Us tO have diameter forty times larger than that of our usual mighty attendant, and the surface of his disk would occupy q space greater than that of 1690 full moons. And this giant of the planets is re- moved from tha sun by . distance of 495. 600. 0J9 miles: has an orbit Of more than 1 GOO, 90J, ,GG0 mics in extent, and mal1ss circuit of its celestial track once every 4.3}2 days. Thus it will be seen thata year on Jupiter is equal to eleven years, ten IaoatHs and seven teen days on our globe. The il.lncnsi- ty of the world of Jupiter and it's orbit may be approximately measured by this comparison: In order 10 complete it's orbit in the time given abore. it must speed around the sun with a ve- locity of 100000 miles 9 day, O. ] little moro than eight miles per second.

VARIATIONS iN LITERATURE.

Present Day Literary limitations of Musical
 Composi.i Conm,on Years Ago.
 Some t-venty-ive years ago there was style of musical cen position much in vogue known as variations, says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly Ii ap- peared in dozen page sheets entitled Home Sweet E!onc-with variations:' Coming Through the Rye with vari1- tions;' Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother (also with variationsl. The distinctive plan of these compositions and, whatever their individual char acteristic. they were. as whole, with out ariation-consisted. first, in a brace or two of banging prelude. close ly followed by a simple little air that somebody else had written. This definitely announced the theme to be ''variated which was next heard be- hind thin screen of artfully arranged arpeggios. Then it donned a deep dis. guise in the bass, fo become barely recognizable in the reble with trills. ditto in bass, in the treble with runs, ditto in bass, and finally lost itself in a company of crashing chords so over towering that one could not be certain whether the original air had beer Coming Through the Rye" or 'Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother.'
 A similar sort of treatment has now invaded the art of letters; that is to say. it has affected the entire twenty. six, as well as the select seven to be found upon the piano keyboard. If doesn't nowadays satisfy a writer tc say, merely: One summer morning fine and early, 1 was walking through the woods" He immediately goes on (taking the word ''carlv" as his key motel: ''The sun had not been long above the horizon and the air was yet fragrant with last nights dew" Then, with fine and summer" as texts, he tells us: Everywhere were the green and luXuriant footprints of light-step- ping summer" Starting next from W IT, (2) walking" and (3) woods, J he informs us: ''As my feet pressed the soft moss faint forest odors filled the air, the craci1le of dry stick was heard and a startled gray squirrel scampered up tic giant oak on my left" Da capo: 'On such 8 glorious morning was glad simply to be alive. as were we all-yolnG-rIson sun. trees. flowers, moss and little gray squirrel"
 And so. diluting and further diluting an idea, it is hard to tell just what degree of strength it may originally have possessed. The strength Of the writer, 1t is, however, more easy to de- lnrI1inn
