SOME CAPITAL MATHEMATICS.

The gold-bug Capital Of May z
takes up the ADyOCAEB's criticism Of
Comptroller ECkels statement Of ma.
tiOnal bank profits and undertakes TO
show that Mr.. Fckels is right and
that we are wrong. II starts out with
the statement that ''the Topeka ADvo-
GATE seems incapable Of learning any
thing from defeat. It still repeats
the follieB Of Populist mathematics In
spite Of the exposures Of it's rank
errors and the verdict rendered by
the people Of every state in the
Union"
Now, let us see about these errors
Of Populist mathematics. The whole
question Of difference rests upon a
single proposition. A man proposes
to engage in the business Of national
banking. He buys 100000 Of gov
ernment bonds which MIR. Eckels
supposes to cost him $115, ,171.2O.
These bonds he deposits with the
United States treasury and receives
10 return $4,000 in currency with
which TO do business We stated
that the banker has only the differ
ence between the $116,171.2O, which
he pays for the bonds, and the $780,
600, which he receives in currency
actually invested in the bonds. The
Capital insists that he has the entire
$115, ,171.2O 80 invested, and it char
acterizeS our statement as "a blunder
and q falsehood." That ia all right.
We care nothing for the Capitals pet
terms of endearment, and shall de-
vote our space to q demonstration Of
the correctness Of our calculation
rather than to its personalities.
In order to show the utter fallacy
OF the Capitals claim, let us suppose
the capital Of the proposed banker
to be precisely $115,171.2O. This
he invests, to the last penny, in the
purchase Of 100000 Of government
bonds. Now, il this is hls entire
capital, and every cent Of il remains
invested in the bonds, as che Capital
insists that it does, where does he
get his $4,000 to do business withP
It must be clear to Che reader,
whether it is TO the obtuse editor Of
the Capital OF not, that when the
proposed banker with only $l15,.
171.2O to start with, receives $4,000
in currency in return upon the de.
pont OF his bonds with the treasury,
that his only remaining investment
in those bonds is the difference be-
tween the amount he paid for them
and the amount he receives in 70.
turn, with which he enters upon the
business Of national banking, and
that is $25,17l20 As Che entire diff
ference in question hinges upon this

ship or leaders. They are more
concerned about followers. And
followers in the Republican party
in Texas have been getting scarce
for several years. Leadership, Of
tice-brokering and patronage-dis.
pensing are, in Cuney's eyes, the
only things worth fighting for.
He has never cared for the cleo.
tion OF Republican candidates, but
there is seldom an election when
he does not assist some Democrat
into office. Ask Rosenthal whether
Quincy helped him in 1892? and II
he says he did, then let somebody
produce Rosenthaps letter to the
contrary. But we have neither
space nor inclination to pursue
this subject further just now.
Everybody in Texas, who cares to,
knows all about it, and knows that
we have stated the case very mild
ly.
And this is why the Republi-
can vote has fallen 10000 in ten
years. This is why thousands Of Re-
publican business men will neither
risk their means nor regulations
in such an organization, and I'M
less some kind of harmony can be
patched up so that the party will |
have some show of success, it may
as we'll be understood that all these |
things, and a thousand facts of the |
same import will be placed before
the national convention. And If
the showing there made is not suf-
ficient to stamp the present "regu-
lar organization" as un.Repubi.
can, then we miss our guess.
In making such showing 1t
may be necessary to go into some
matters which our northern Re-
publicans might think we should
keep out Of for their dealings with
southern delegates may be touched
upon. But there are great many
earnest Republicans in the south
who are not willing to see their
great party prostituted and dis
graced any more If they can help
1t, and IL it requires heroic meas
ures to make our northern friends
the case, then so be it.
The facts and the evidence will be
laid before the national conven-
ton and il that body gives no re-
lief, then "a decent respect for the
opinions of mankind" will require
them to be placed before the
people. And they will
be!

A Pistol Shot Clears a Saloon Room
In Short Order.
A fight between Negro barber
named Wayne and the Negro bar
tender of a colored mems saloon,
corner Crockett and Nacogdoches
streets, took place last night over a
game Of craps. There were several
Negroes in the saloon at the time,
and when the quarrel arose Wayne
went outside and threw two rocks
into the house at the bartender.
The latter took a revolver from be-
hind the bar and fired a shot at
Wayne, and this caused the saloon
to be almost Instantly vacated, the
occupants tumbling out of windows
and doors sans ceremony, breaking
a considerable number of window
lights in their exit. No arrests
were made.

A SENSATION.
But it Was Exploded to the Chagrin
of an Excited Crowd.

A sensational find of what ap-
peared to be the corpse OF a man in
a gunny sack was made by two
boys fishing in the river at noon
today. Several Commerce street
merchants rushed down to inspect
what they thought to be another
Holmes mystery. Officer O'Day
presided over the excited crowd.
Some nDdertakers rushed on the
scene and the coroner was about to
be sent for when the joke exploded.
The sack was found to be stuffed
with old papers, and the hand
proved to be tan colored glove
stuffed with sawdust and merely
tied on the sack. The dummy was
set afloat in the rear of the county
courthouse and fished out below
the st. Mary's street bridge.

AN ALIEN ORGANIZATION.

From the Texas Tribune, Fort worth. |
In late interview Mr.. Quincy
says:
81 am not aware of any unusual
movement among Republicans. l
have seen a great deal from and
about some persons whom do not
know to be Republicans, but
whom, on the contrary, 1 know
belong to an alien political Or
ganiZation."
The term "alien organization"
has SO long been a favorite express
sion with Mr.. Quincy that one is
led to believe that he regards the
two organizations as being of diff
ferent races. One would also sup
pose, from the above and other
language found in the same inter-
view, that Quincy would not con.
descend to treat with or make
terms with an "alien organization"
Which is the most "alien organiza-
ton" in Cuney's eyes, the Reform
Republicans or the Clark Demo.
crazy to which Quincy sold out the
regular organization? Is the
Democratic ring of Galveston
which is said to control every
political movement of Mr.. Quincy,
not something of an "alien or
ganization"
Was it not at the behest OF this
same "alien organization" OF
Galveston that Quincy helped re-
elect the chairman of the Demo.
cratic appropriations committee?
And do the Republicans who still
worship Quincy know what reward
he received from the Galveston
ring and the Clark crowd?
III Mr.. Quincy is willing to treat
with Democrats and Populists and
join forces with them to help elect
their candidates, his Republican
ism is very thin skinned il it will
not allow him to treat with Re-
publicans for the success of the
principles and candidates of the
party. Was he more interested in
the success of George Clark than
in electing Republican candidates?
And did he make a bargain by
which that "alien organization"
in consideration of its endorse.
ment, paid somebody" $4,000 OF
which less than half went into
the Republican campaign fund?
Quincy intimates that he wants
harmony, but the only way he is
willing to have it is for the Re,

primaries, submit themselves to
the tender mercies of his creden.

A Queer Lawsuit.

The old English law forced bettors to
pay their debts. A remarkable action was
brought i'm 1912 by the Rev. Mr. Gilbert
against Sir Mark NJ. Sykes. The baronet
at dinner party in his own house, in the
course of conversation on the hazard 10
which the life of Bonaparte was exposed,
offered, on receiving 100 guineas, TO pay
guinea day as long as Napoleon should
remain alive Mr. Gilbert closed with SiI
Mark and sent the 100 guincas, and the
latter continued to pay the guinea day
for nearly three years.
At last he declined TO pay any longer
and an action was brought To enforce IN,
payment. 1t was contendcd by the defend
ant that he had been surprised into the
bet by the clergyman hasty acceptance q
1t, and that the transaction was an illega
one, seeing that Mr.. Gilbert having "A bonc
fetal interest in the life of Bonapartc
might in the event of an invasion use al
means for the preservation of the life of al
enemy of his country. The jury loyalll
brought in IA verdict for the defendant.

Preston King i'm The Medical Magazine,

course of which he tells how he felt when
death seemed near:
"When we are well, we think with a
dread of death But when illness comes
and the end is very near, then all that
dread seems gone, and though perfect con-
sciousness remains there Is no fear OF
death none of that chill dread we used
To know; merely "a peaceful, tired feeling.
We long for rest; we only want sleep. We
are sorry TO be leaving those we love, not
for any selfish reasons, but because we
know that they will miss us and will
grieve when we are gone; Tor ourselves we
do not mind; we only want rest
There was no fear only wanted rest
and that rest | surely soon should lind in
