CAPITAL CITY NOTES.

CAPITAL CITY NOTES:
The Young Mems Christian
Association intend trying their
influence on the city council.
They want a city ordinance
passed requiring policemen to
enforce the law requiring sa-
looms to close on Sundays. In
the absence of such as ordinance
the police say it is none of their
business to close saloons, and
the county officers in turn say
it is the business of the city
to enforce the law, and between
the two, the saloons are run
open and are having a good
time.
Tuesday night at seven
o'clock Fritz Hartkoph, a prohi-
inent saloon man here; who
had been on a terrible drunk all
night Monday nightj died snd-
denly. This makes the fifth
sudden death within a very
short time from the same cause,
in this city. Had an article of
-four, bacon or can goods caus-
ed these deaths what a howl
would have been rasied.
Deaths from whiskey, however,
go right among and everybody
is Indifferent:
Charlie Ledbetter, who muir
dered a man in a saloon here
last Sunday a week ago, is still
in Jail, having. failed to gite
bond.
The United States Court is in
session here, but is doing very
little business.
TIE Internal Revenue Col
lection is getting ready to as
ses, and collect the income tax

what alliance and orange stores
and gin come within its pro-
vision. All corporations have
to pay the tax on their net in

Queen Victoria. The latter in q
very guarded and diplomatic
manner limited that when the
time came the relations between
the great powers would be
found sufficiently harmon ms
to insure the restoratior o,
peace between Japan and

Chinese mainland:
This would of course prevent
her from retaining Port Arthur

nose naval strongholds, or any
part Of Manehuria. which she
has occupied after hard fighting
But, on the other hand, it is
believed here that the statement
carries 9 distinct intimation that
Japan may claim the great is
laid Ct Form0sa which is a
most important stragetic point.
1t has been confidently expect
ed here that the European pow
ers would intervene between
Japan and China whenever it
should appear that the latter
country was really vanquished
and was suing in vain for peace
upon reasonable terms, but so
far as the dispatch referred to
indicates any action in that line
by the United States in connec-
ton with other powers it is
clearly erroneous, for it can be
positively stated that under no
circumstances can the president
be induced to depart so far
from our established policy of
non-intervention.
1t is no cause of surprise here
! that Germany too will refrain
from joining in an Intervention
which would be surely distaste-
full to Japan, for the latest re-
ports from our consuls in the
latter country show that the
German traders are making eX-
traordinary preparations for
supplanting all other foreigners,
even Americans, in securing
control of valuable trade in
Japan;

THE Legislature is getting
down to work and from present
indications they will get
through with important meas
ures within the 80 days limit.
Representative Cough, after
a hard fight, got through the
House his Anti Johnson Grass
Bill, a measure that is Of vital
interest to farmers. The bill
as passed makes the sowing of
johnson grass, Russian thistle
or Cocoa grass felony or
misdemeanor at the discretion
of the jury. The bill viii 60 to
the senate where its fame is
doubtful.
The Senate has passed bill
to third reading, amending the
penal code by raising the
misdemeanor limit from $50 to
$50. This was advocated four
teen years ago by Major Goree,
then Superintendent of the
Penitentiary, and in his official
report he urged the Eighteenth
Legislature to pass such a law,
contending that it would reduce
the number of penitentiary con-
victs that were crowding the
prisons. A bill was introduced
during that Legislature, but it
was defeated and every succeed
ing Legislature since then it has
bobbed up to only meet inglor-
ious defeat. 1t has passed the
Senate to third reading as stat
ed, but it is very doubtful if it
becomes a law. Whyl well,
perhaps the big fees have some
thing to do with it. In mis-
demeanor trial county and
district attorneys get only
$4,000 while felony theft cases
pay ti-u $4,000. Then too the
misdemeanor fees usually go to
the constable and justices where
as felonie fees go to district of
ficers and Sheriffs, and they are
a power in the land. So you
see there is a patent reason for
not wanting to reduce felony
cases.
The House has passed the
following resolution introduced
by Mr.. Beall of Nolan County
and it will pass the Senate. 1t

people in Southwestern Texas

THE Fort Smith Democrat accuses
the GRAPHIC with challenging and
DENYING the intelligence Of Arkansas
people when, in commenting upon
q statement Of the Batesyille Guard
that Watterson's manager have lost
money on every lecture he has de-
liyered in Arkansas during the last
two seasons, it said "this fact is not
much to the credit of the intelligence
of Arkansas people. Watterson is
generally regarded as man OF great
ability and one of the leading orators
in the country, and in stating that
his manager have lost money on
every lecture he delivered in this
State it seems to us that the Guard
is the one that has challenged" the
intelligence of Arkansas people.
And not only that, but it has gone
so far as to tell an untruth to do it,
for the Democrat says that ION the
occasion of Mr.. Watterson's lecture
at Fort Smith the Grand 0pera-honse
was packed at dollar a pack.

AMERICAN ARM0R PLATES.

An exchange very truly says that
the fact that Russia finds it for her
interest to pass by all the great
iron establishments Of Europe and
come to America for armor plate
for her new ships, attracts much at
tention. The contract was awarded
to the Pittsburg manufacturers in
competition with English, French
and German manufacturers, whose
claims of superiority were tho' ough
" investigated and understood
before awarding the contract.
Nothing could show more definitely
the fitness of our industrial system
which thus enables us to compete
with and overcome the "pauper
labor of Europe, about which Re
publicans have told US so much,
The Carnegie Company would not
have accepted such q contract with
out the hope of fair profits. Weal
know the wages of worSingmen
we're never higher in this country,
in times of peace, than they are now,
and the fact that American manu-
facturers can produce armor plate
cheaper than Europe can with her
pauper labor, is most encouraging.

understood that hereafter he willnot

the publication of such an item

Valuable Bookmarlsers in OLD Books.

1t is told of Xavier Mariner that he
one day discovered one thousand
franc note between the leaves of
book which he had picked up for few
sous at a street stall. A similar, but
much more marvellous, adventure has
happened to young doctor in Turin.
While turning over the leaves of book
which had been bequeathed along with
others to the medical faculty of Turin
by certain DR.. Giordan, he was as
tonished to find between the pages no
less than forty bank notes, amounting
to the handsome sum of forty thousand
lire. This incident win no doubt give
rise to most interesting case in the
Turin courts Although Dir. Giordani
undoubtedly bequeathed his books to
the library OF the faculty, his other
heirs will hardly be disposed to admit
that he intended to leave it his
monetary savings as well. Possibly,
however, the library trustees are quite
prepared to prove that the deceased
doctor was in the habit of utilizing his
thousand-lire bank notes as book
markers. Westminster Gazette.

DEn0cRACYS LOSS.

Returns from Tuesdays elections
show Republican victories IN
every State except Mississippi
and Virginia Democrats have
reduced this pluralities IN
many States, and Republicans
have gained in others. Both Mary
land and Kentucky, where Democrats
have divided, have gone Republican
and, it is thought, have elected Re
publican Legislatures. New York
and Ohio, too, haveIelected a majority
of the members of the General
Assembly Republicans. This is the
most diseoaraging feature OF the
defeats. 1t means that Senators
Gibson, of Maryland, Blackburn,
Of Kentucky, Hill, of New York and
Brice, of Ohio, all Democrats, will
be displaced by Republicans.
Delaware is yet to elect one Senator
and Utah two. OF these the Re
publieans are sure of two-those
from Utah-whlle the other is in
doubt.
These gains will give the Re
pubIicans q safe majority in the
Senate of the United States after
March A, 1897, the time the new
Senators from New York, Ohio
and Maryland take their seats.

THE cost of running the United
States Government is about ST, 600, :
600 a day, one half of which amount
is paid out for pensions. There is
little hope of reducing the eXpendi-
lures until relief can be obtained
from the heavy drain upon the
treasury for the payment OF pen
sions. Commissioner Lochran, in
his report says he will need at least
100000 for the next fiscal year.

CAUSES or EARTHQUAKES.

Terror is often caused through
Ignorance or a lack OF understand
inc Of the causes of phenomena.
Likewise, knowledge is a shield
against dismay and protection in
case Of danger. tits not surprising,
therefore, that after a severe fright
caused by terrible shaking Of
mother earth, we should inquire in
10 the causes of such an uncommon
phenomenon, Science cannot en-
tighten us entirely on the subject,
but we have some ingenious theories
rs to the causes of earthquakes.
at is generally assumed, SAYS the
Courier Journal, that an earth
quake proceeds from a blow or con.
eussion of some sort delivered under
ground. From this point, which is
called the seismic focus" the force
is transmitted by vibrations in
every direction. These vibrations
are analogous to, though not pre-
cisely like, sound waves. As the
mediums through which the force
is transmitted are various, so the
rapidity of the wave movement
varies greatly.
THE literature of earthquakes
abounds with many theories as to
their origin, some of which are
merely curious while others are still
defended. Flamsteed suggested
two hundred years ago that they
are due to explosions of gas, and
there are those in the United States
at present who believe that the vast
volumes of natural gas taken from
subterranean regions will cause
earthquakes. A little later than
Flamsteed, Amonstous THOUGH,
earthquakes were caused by heated
air. Lister put forward the theory
hat they were due to athe inaam.
