ONE MAJORITY.

A poll of the senate reveals the fact
that the Democratic sound money men
in there have one majority. There has
been some talk for several days past
that the silverites in the house intended
to introduce some silver resolutions, but
they seemed to be skittish about doing
it, evidently fearing that they would be
voted down.

THE LIMITATION BILL.

Ihe following is Senator Bowsers bill
-pn lax cases that has passed both
houses:
q bill to be entitled "An act to pre-
vent delinquent tax payers from pleading
@ lac statute of limitation by way of de-
lcnsc against the payment of any taxes
due from him or her, either to the State
or any county, city or town."
Section /. Be it enacted by the legis-
lature of the State of Texas: That no
delinquent tax payer shall have the right
to plead in any court or in any manner
rely upon any statute of limitation by
way of defense against the payment of
any taxes due from him or her either to
the State or any county, city or
town.
Sec. 9. Whereas, there is now no law
IN TINS State to prevent delinquent tax
payers from setting up the statute of
limitation as defense against the pay
nent of taxes due from him or her, and
10 avoid the filing of n multiplicity of
suits by the municipal authorities against
delinquent tax payers in order to pre-
vent the bar of limitation being set up
by lem; therefore, an emergency exists
and an imperative public necessity re-
curing the suspension of the constitu-
tionIl rule requiring all bills to be read
on three several days and that this law
take effect and be in force from and
after its passage and it is so enacted.

SECRETARY POOLE THE VICTIM.
Yesterday morning in the senate Sena-
tor Lewis raised quite ripple OF run TOT
the senators by a resolution. Secretary
Poole was busy during lull in the pro-
leeedings in making. out the Warrants t t
the senator's. Being tribe warm ne
shed his coat. Senator Lewis lmme-
tliately sent up a resolution citing That
Jinasmuch as the secretary had shown
an utter disregard for the senate by
pulling off his coat while it was III session
that he be considered in contempt of the
senate and be commanded to appear be-
fore the bar of the house to answer for
his actions. This raised quite breeze
s-of discussion pro and con, ana IL vote
being taken on the matter the chair ruled
that +he resolution was defeated. An
appeal was made from the decision of
the chair and the appeal demanded
roll call, which revealed that no quorum
was present A call of the senate was I'M
lmediately demanded and as it was ascer-
tanned that quorum was present the call
was suspended Senator Bailey moved
to refer the resolution to the committee
on military affairs, but withdrew his mo-
ton owing to the timidity of the chair
man -dfthat committee. Senator Beall,
p who rs, chairman of that committee,
thanked Senator Bailey, saying that it
lifted a great load off his mind, and he
&. considered the case such an emergency
that he would have felt compelled to call
out the militia.
After some further discussion of the
matter the resolution was adopted and
Secretary moole was made to appear be-
fore the bar of the senate and make his
explanation. He explained that he was
figuring out the mileage and per diem of
Senator Lewis and it was such an
arduous duty that he was compelled to
take his coat off. Senator McComb |
moved that the charges be withdrawn, as
he thought the explanation amply suf- |
ficient and he would further suggest that |
at any time that the secretary wanted to |
make out the members warrants that he |
he not only permitted but be required to |
take off his coat and also remove any |
other impediment that might possibly in
terfere with the making out of the war
rants. After half an hours trial Sec
rotary Poole was honOrably discharged,
as none of the charges were sustained.

Eloctricity In Agriculture.

In Electric Power is chronioled the
successful experiment of Danish farm
er in the use Of electric power for thrash
ing. He has hitherto had an old fash
ioned thrashing machine drawn by
horses. Three pairs of horses have
worked the machine with about 500
turns per minute, the horses being
changed four times per diem. The pow
er transmitted in this way is, owing to
the nature of the machinery, irregular,
occasioning considerable loss of time to
the workmen employed. By the use of
IN electric motor to propel the thrashing
mill this disadvantage is removed. The
power is transmitted evenly. stoppages
are avoided, the thrashing is more speed
lily effected, and the machine itself is
spared considerable wear and tear. A
stationary steam or oil engine drives the
dynamo, and the current is conducted
through cables of suitable length to any
given point in or outside the barn where
the thrashing takes place.
At the farm where the experiment
has been tried the force 10 generated by
a six horsepower oil (petroleum) engine.
The distance between the oil engine and
the thrashing mill is about 140 yards.
A speed Of 1000 turns of the. mill per
minute can be attained, and II is clear
ly demonstrated that the thrashing pro-
ceeds with very much greater ease and
rapidity than formerly. 1t is especially
worthy Of notice that the speed does not
vary even when the mill is very full II
the thrashing mill 10 moved, of course
the electIomotor must also be moved. It
is therefore placed upon sort of sledge.
Another advantage In the use Of cleo
tricity In the transmission Of working
power may be mentioned-viz, that the
electric current can, without extra ex-
pense, produce two lamps in the barn
and the machine house.

Stone Farm Buildings.

In the earlier history of the country
all buildings were made Of wood, tim
Der being then most plentiful mate
rial. So averse were farmers to using
stone for barns that many of the earli-
est barns were made with only enough
stone at their corners and in one or two
places under the sills to serve as founda-
tions. These barns were of course ex-
tremely cold, the winter winds coming
under them and chilling the stock in
the stables. OF late years barns are al
most universally built with stone base
ment. This, according to directions
given by American Cultivator, ought to
be at least eight feet high, and the stills
resting on it at least two feet above the
bank Of earth ON the upper side. When
farmers built these barns, many of
them found with surprise that the stone
basement for the room it gave was the
cheapest part Of the barn. Some are
now building barns mainly of stone.
If we'll cared for, they are durable,
warmer in winter and cooler In summer
than the old fashioned barns with wood
en- frames
