Fell in a Well.

A two year old child of Thomas
Startling, living near East Bend, fell
in a well, 81 feet deep, few days
ago. There was no water In it but q
shovel and pick we're lying on the
bottom. The little one was rescued
in about one hour. Strange to say
it was not seriously hurt.

DISAPPOINTMENT is already written
all over the Mckinley administration
and it is seen, too, by many who
contributed both directly and in
directly to bringing such a state of
things about. AS soon as the new
administration took charge it re-
sumed the old Republican trick of
trying to bleed the many for the
benefit of the few, under the shallow
pretext that the way to make a
burdened people prosperous and
happy is to increase the prices upon
nearly everything they have to buy
without doing anything towards in
creasing the volume of the purchas-
ing commodity, if We may 80 term
the currency. The people will not
stand this sort of thing and the Re-
publican party is doomed to an
avalanche of popular disapproba
ton.

RUSSELL says in effect that the
colored people cannot shake their
curly locks at him and say that he
did it, I'm reference to the Colored In
sane Asylum matter. According to
the Raleigh Gazette, the Governor
authorizes the statement that he
wanted colored man elected princi-
pal and that all reports to the con-
trary are false. However this may
be, the colored people know that
their race did not get the principal

onlv themselves to Blane.


Those Republicans who are disguised and
growing about the civil service rules exclud-
ing them from public office, should not forget
that their national platform not only endorsed
the civil service law but advocated its ertea-
SION Here is the civil service plank OF the
st. Louis convention
''The Civil Service law was placed on the
statute books by the Republican party, which
has always sustained it, and we renew our
repeated declarations that it shall be thor
oughly and heartily and honestly enforced
and extended wherever practicable.
Mckinley is in full accord with that plank,
and in his inaugural address said:
''The pledge of the Republican National
Convention that our civil service laws shall
be sustained and thoroughly and honestly
enforced and extended wherever practicable
is in keeping with the position of the party
for the past twenty four years, and c1H be
htitliy obserred.
In voting for Mckinley and the St. Louis
platform these Republican office-seekers voted
to exclude themselves from Office, and they
have none but themselves to blame.
The Democratic platform declared against
this class legislation, this foreign importation,
Just as it declared that the United States should
be and act independent of foreign govern
ments upon financial matters. The returns
as made up, not as the votes were cast, gave
a majority of the electoral college to Mckin-
lev and the civil service law, and those Re
publicans, or the great majority of them, who
voted for Mckinley and expected an office
must bear their disappointment philosophi
caly and keep their present jobs or seek en-
ployment other than in the federal service.
The Republican Legislature passed an act
last year to submit to the voters of Maryland
an amendment to the constitution providing
for a civil service law for this state. Should
it pass Maryland is likely to have civil ser
vice law like that passed by Congress, and
those persons who are opposed to life-tenure
in Office and the creation of favored class,
Should vote against this proposed amendment.
1t will be submitted to the voters at the No
vember election, and the people should see
to it that it is overwhelmingly voted down.

Letter from Texas.

FLoREsvILLE, March 10, 1897.
DEAR ADvoCATE-We rise in our might and dig
nifty to say that notwithstanding the political dis
turbances in divers places. spring has again opened
in Southern Texas. Many farmers have cultivated
their corn which is growing like the silver sent-
ment-fast Fruit trees in full bloom, arborace-
GUS vegetation is in half leaf and millions of wild
flowers are grinning upon complaining humanity.
Altogether it makes me feel like playing marbles,
writing rhyme and going to Sunday school, Whoop
ZEE.
Some cotton still dropping into the market, and
our oil mill is roaring day and night, turning out
six and seven hundred gallons daily, which only
need little laboratory tinkerng to convert it into,
fresh country butter pure leaf lard olive oil and
dozen other useful commodities.
The owners of the mill have shipped many hun
bred head of cattle to other markets; fattened en-
trey on cotton seed meal and hulls the product of
their mill.
Quite building rivalry has sprung up here, and
the idea mine is just good yourn is visible in
many places. Carpenters and painters wear a smile
that is beautiful to behold, they look so mild and
free from harm.
Everybody in good health here since the warm
weather thawed the grip out of the grunting old
uncles, and so is PETER b. BARNES.

Extra Session of Congress.

The Fifty fifth Congress met in extra SEES
sion on Monday, having been convened by
President Mckinley to pass tariff or tax
bill to meet the extravagant expenditures of
the government. The Senate had previously
been in session to confirm cabinet and other
appointments, and the House organized by
rejoicing Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, Speak
err, and all the officers of the last House.
The Democrats nominated Bailey, ofTexas,
for Speaker The honor was not an empty
one, for, though he was not elected, the NOM
ination made HIM leader of the Democrats of
the House, an honor that has never fallen to
one so young before. He is not much more
than thirty -three years old, but he has already
served three terms in the House. He is a
native of Georgia and was an elector in that
state in 1884, on the Cleveland and Hendricks
ticket. The next year he removed to Texas,
and in 1888 was nominated and elected an
elector -at-large on the Democratic ticket.
The houors he has received have not spoiled
him, and he is regarded as cool, conserva-
tive and able man.
Speaker Reed, in accordance with his pre-
vious declaration, appointed but three COM
mittees-on Rules, Ways and Means and
Mileage On the latter DIR. Booze, of Balti-
more, was appointed. The Speakers object
in not appointing other committees is to pre-
vent any legislation except the passage of a
tariff bill, and particularly to prevent fnan-
eia legislation. Chairman Dingley presented
the tariff bill that was prepared during the
past winter, and the House adjourned until
Thursday. 1t is the purpose of Car Reed to
drive the tariff bill through in short order and
to send it to the Senate by the Sd of April.

The Sentinel says that an extra session of
Congress does not cost much, as the members
are paid yearly salaries and most of the EN-
ployes also. Not more than half the emloyes
are on the annual roll; extra expense is en-
tailed for printing and stationery, and the
printing of the Congressional Record is not
less than $4,000 week on the average All
this is extra expense, and the mileage of Con-

Der of their communicates who now sign liquor
license applications, compared with two years ago
The applications for license for 1894 and 1895 con-
tanned the names of forty-fve members of the var-
GUS churches in our city. Happily there are now
only thirty OF the fty-three individuals who sign
for the eleven saloons in the churches.
If the same ratio of decrease continues annually
1t win soon come to pass that no part of Chris
tan community will be found as indorsers of the

from endorsement by the religious element
