Better Than 4 Sleeping Dram

8etter Than Sleeping Orah.
The soul Of Brooklyn electrician
has been sorely tried by the nocturnal
song Of cats. Night after night his well
earned rest would be broken by the solos,
duets and choruses which were given by
the feline congregation in his back yard.
One night, while he was lying awake
vowing deep and summary vengeance on
his tormentors, an inspiration came to
him. He had heard that the cat, like the
skylark, does not sing on the ground. It
must climb fence to find inspiration
for the outpourings Of it's musical soul.
The electricians back yard is surround.
ed by high fence, whichwould invari.
ably be studded with dim silhouettes far
into the night, but they are there no
longer. The overwrought sufferer con-
ceived tho idea of running wire through
which he could send powerful current
around the top Of the fence, the switch
bar being close to- Jbis hand. He says the
sweetest moment Of his life was when
the first cat bumped its back against the
wire. He joyously pressed the button.
There was ragged, alternating current
kind Of howl and an instantaneous
whisking of furry mass, and all was
still Within a, week not cat would
come within ten rods Of that fence, and
the ingenious Brooklynite now sleeps
peacefully y.-Exchange.

AUSTIN POLITICS.
AUSTIN, Tex, March 3.

austin, Lea, MdICu D.
Politicians, who make a practice
of looking far into the future, con-
tend that silver democracy in
Texas is as sure Of ultimate defeat
as there is a sun above us.
They base their assertions to this
effect on undeniable propositions
as are herewith given.
Conceeding the fact that the Tex
as convention, which meets in this
city in June, sends a silver delega-
ton to the Chicago convention
headed by Judge Reagan and ex-
Gov. Hogg.
This delegation arrives in Chi
cago and makes fight in the con-
vention for silver platform.
Their fight will be a hopeless one,
for everybody comedies that the
Chicago platform will be for sound
money, and what will that delega-
ton do?
Should Judge Reagan, as its
leader, say that he cannot vote
with this convention for a presi-
Dental nominee to stand on
sound money platform, what then?
The judge will contend that he
set a precedence for such action
by withdrawing from the state
convention at Dallas because Ct
sound money platform and there
fore he and his friends donot
feel called upon in this instance
to help nominate candidate for
president on a sound money plat
form. In case the Texas delega.
ton should thus quit the Chicago
convention what will be the result?
The matter is as plain as the
nose on your face. The Chicago
convention would wire the sound
money men Of Texas to put out
sound money electoral ticket" In
this state. This would be done
and would Immediately signal the
defeat of democracy in Texas, for
the silver men cannot hope to win
in this state without the assist
ance Of the sound money men. On
the other hand, suppose that this
silver delegation from Texas to the
national convention agree to acqui-
ese with the action of the conven.
ton in adopting sound money
platform and agree to return home
and advocate an endorsements of the
national conventions action by the
state convention, which meets at
Enrf Wnrfh What xx,tll no hn
result in this case? The answer
Is easily made. Such proceedings
would drive all the rabbid free
silver democrats (and there are
many Of them) with the populist
party forthwith, and while the
silver democrats might get the CO.
operation of the sound money
