4 Queer Phase of Life Presented to Friends
Abroad.

4 Queer Phase Of Life Presented to Friends
Abroad.
The winter in Texas is usually short
and mild. but this year she broke a
good many of her former recors and
the Oldest inhabitant' will in future
be obliged to base his calculations on
the snow storm of January 2S, 1895.
The snow remained on the ground %
days. an experience never known in
this section of the country before. This
kept all the boys" on the ranch occu-
pied in getting up an extra supply OF
frewood and feeding the cattle In
spite of storms and tempests generally
Young couple in our neighbOrhood
eluded locks and bars and eloped at 3
a. IN, and drove to Breckenridge, sew
eral miles, in the teeth of the worst
"n0rther" of the year, reused the Coun-
ty Clerk and Judge to issue license
and tie the knot in spite of warning ele-
ments. In fact. there was quite mat
rimonial epidemic prevailing. Anoth-
or young couple, whose union was OBJ
jected to by the girls parents, made an
successful as the former
The mother of the would-be bride
suspected some escapade of the kind
and sat up TO keep watch, but, becom-
ing absorbed in counting the stitches Of
her knitting, the bird escaped, not so
nOiselessly, however, as to prevent de-
lection. and the alarm was given. Pa
ter familias. sans shoes and other vest
ments, pursued in hot haste in spite of
cold and socks and burrs. The lover,
true to his appointment was waiting
I'm a vehicle outside the fence at the
nearest point to- the house. The fence
was a barbed wire one, and the fleeing
damsel would have succeeded in reach
ing the buggy save for that ugly bar
rier, for. as always happens to a luck
less woman when she undertakes to
scale q fence of that description, her
rapery caught in those provoking
barbs and her irate parent caught and
held her in no tender grasp and took
her back to the house and her no less
angry mamma. During the storm we
read everything i'm the house, knit up
all the yarn, seWed up all the cloth,
and i'm short. exhausted all our sources
of employment, so in sheer desperation
we commenced making a rag carpet
like some we had seen with our neigh
bors. Old clothes are torn into strips
and sewn together, to be afterwards
woven into a crude kind Of a carpet
by a hand loom. 1t takes one pound
of strips to make one square yard for
the weaving Ii is very durable. We
next sent for a set of the Brownies, %
and made them up and stuffed them.
John Bull and Uncle sam are especial
ly good but Paddy is so ludicrous that
our Celtic neighbors look askance at
him, and don't, 1 fancy, enjoy it much.
But our short winter is now almost
over. and the cattle in Northwest Texas
will soon be luxuriating in fresh grass,
and as cattle are scarcer thaa they
have been for some years and pros
poets generally are brighter, cattlemen
are already counting on higher prices.
Let us pray their hopes may be real

The inexorable logic Of the wheat
market continues to make a sad mess
of the favorite theory of the silver
folks. Wheat is up, but silver persists
i'm staying down. Still there are a
large number Of farmers who are yet
persuaded that they must now sell two
bushels Of wheat in order to get as
much money as they formerly received
for one bushel This is anything but
so. Western farmers now get more for
wheat than they did before silver was
demonetzed.
These farmers would, also. do well to
consider what it formerly cost to raise
one bushel Of wheat and what it costs
now to raise two bushels with the
great improvements and cheapening Of
farm machinery and in ferulizing the
land. They should remember, also,
that if wheat have fallen the COM
modities which they consume have
fallen lower yet. and would be still
lower had they not maintained for

The biggest man at the English par
liamentary bar is Mr.. Pope, the leader.
He sits upon an air cushion and his
weight is so enormous that he is not re-
quired to stand when conducting a case.
At the end of the days work he is wheel
ed in a chair to the elevator, from which
he is then transferred to a four-wheeler.
Although Hetty Green, with all her
$50, 900, 600, dresses as cheaply as a shop
girl with 50 a week. she impressed the
national capital the other day as a wo-
man who would shine in fine raiment.
THE truth is" says the Post, that Mrs.
Green is not only attractive, but exceed
ingly fine looking. In manner she is as
vivacious and sprightly as a young girl,
and to look at her rosy cheeks and her
hair, with hardly a trace of silver in it,
one would not believe that she had cell
ebrated her sixty-first birthday. Ar
rayed in rich garments she would at
tract much attention"

A Monetary Commission.
From thu New York World Dem).

The currency of the county is a conven-
lent siphon. Anybody who pleases can
manipulate the gold reserve at will. The
government has practically no power
whatever to impose restraint upon such
operations. All it can do is to borrow more
gold by the issue of more bonds every
time the supply runs low. That is cost
ly process and a dangerous one.
The remedy lies in taking the govern
ment out of business as bank of issue,
and freeing treasury operations from their
unwholesome connection with the busi-
ness of the country.
But that will require an enormous
change. 1t will involve the retirement
of about $500 $1,000 of paper currency and
its substitution by something else. Such
an operation must be fraught with grave
danger if il is undertaken lightly or with
out a masterful consideration of princi-
pies and methods. 1t involves problems
of the most delicate character with which
no congress that was ever elected could
be competent to deal except under expert
advice.
The one great financial need, therefore,
is of an expert currency commission, nom
partisan in character and made up of the
very ablest men whose services can be
had. Such commission could perfect a
plan for making the stupendous change
that seems necessary. The best thing con-
gress can do is to create such a commits
sion and then legislate according to its
suggestions

The Farmer. Against silver.

The farmers national congress at At
lanta refused to favor the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio OF
l6 to ], and the silverites were greatly dis
appointed. The silverites thought II any
one Of the conventions that assembled IN
Atlanta during the exposition would in
dorse the Is 10 I idea the farmers
national congress would. Great must have
been their surprise and disappointment,
therefore. when by a vote Of 251 to lOi the
IS to ] idea was given black eye.
The action Of the farmers national
congress ought TO convince the silverites
that they are wasting their time in try
ing TO induce the people to favor making
a legal tender dollar out of fifty cents
worth Of silver. The people want honest
money. Some of them have been under the
impression that we could have sound mon
ey even if the coinage Of silver were made
free and unlimited at the ratio Of 16 to !.
They are finding out their mistake and are
getting out Of the silver camp as fast as
they can.
There are many who want dishonest
money and they will continue to favor
silver. There are others who are not yet
sufficiently enlightened to understand that
free silver coinage means dishonest mon
ely, but there is hope that they will event
ually see their error.
The great majority of those who have
been classed as silverites favored silver for
no other reason than that they thought
that free silver coinage at any ratio could
not make the times worse than they were
year or so ago, and they argued that it
might make them better. Now that the
times have become better and are improv-
ing all the time they see they were mistak-
en- in thinking that a degraded currency
would cause a return Of prosperity. They
are anxious to let we'll enough alone, and
the silver agitators will get very little, if
any. help from them. When a farmers
national congress puts it's stamp Of dis
approval upon the silver craze it is safe
to assume that the craze is practically
dead
