The gates of life swing either way
On noiseless hinges night and day.
One enters through the open door.
One leaves US to return no more,
And which Is happier which more blest.

Like sunshine to our hearts and homes.
And reach out longing hands with tears
To him who in his ripened years
Goes gladly to his Heavenly rest.

Passed through them to the realms OF light
Both In His loving care we rest.

THE LONDONDERRY SIFTER,


/
The following from Dun's Review
OF Saturday will be surprise ia
many:
Close to its annual holiday and
halt the business Of the year is sur
prlsingly large. Payments through
banks are again 25 per cent larger
han in 1892, heretofore the year of
greatest prosperity the production of
IRON and woolens and boots and shoes
is larger than ever before, exports
eclipse all past records and failures
Tor two weeks have been the smallest
Tor corresponding weeks In five years.
Treasury receipts show steady in.
crease for the first half of December
over previous months, both in Gus.
toms and internal revenue, and heavy
payments to government on Union
Pacific account caused but slight
stringency in money markets, with
preparation for large cancellation of
bonds. The most weighty news of
me week Is the rise of merchandise
exports in November to SIG, $780,
29o, the excess Of exports in four
months being $229,212,4Ol, while in
half of December exports are nearly
as large and imports 50, 500, 900
smaller than last year, when the ex
cess of exports was $5S, 2O5,3 1866
Probably all records are surpassed by
exports for this year, which have
been 1914, 100000 in IL months, and
the excess over imports in five months
has probably exceeded $2S9, ZOO, 900. |
The output of pig iron December ! |
was the greatest ever known, 226,-
O24 tons, against 213,159 November
|, and 2l7,306 in November, 1895, |
the highest point heretofore. The ex
cess stocks decreased in November |

Of about 100000 weekly during the
month.
Cotton manufacture is in difficulty.

cess of demand, and 10 partial trans,
fer of the demand to southern mills
While domestic and export sales have
been large, they are behind a pro.
tuctlon exceeding that of the best
years, northern and south
IN included, and the effort to straight
IN things by reduction of wages
presumably involves strike and re
iuction of output. Goods are gener
lily weak, and the range of prices i,
low the lowest ever known, the re-
luction in bleached goods, prints and
vide sheetings having caused consid.
rable increase in the demand. The

In actual performance the boot and
hoe industry runs ahead of all others,

1WENTY-F|FTH LEGISLATURE
THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE TWO
HOUSES AS REPORTED FOR
THE STATESMAN.
The STATE UNIVERSITY UNDER FIRE
A Proposition TO Cut Out It's ApprO-
priatiOn Entirely Was Tabled.
The Report of Penitentiary
Investigating Committee.

Yesterday morning the house renewed
consideration of its general appropriation
bill, and after some wrangle over the de-
partment of agriculture. insurance, sta
tistics and history, which resulted in sew
eral salaries being cut down and out en-
tirely, an amendment to strike out the
entire department was voted down with
out much trouble.
The house then passed ON to the apprO-
pration for the State University, and Mr..
Beard offered an amendment to cut the
revenue of the University out entirely,
which, after raising some discussion. was
tabled.
Just prior to adjournment a resolution
was offered looking to the adjournment
of the house for today in honor of the
battle of San Jacinto. This resolution
failed of being tabled by only narrow
margin of 50 to 3d. and pending it's adop-
ton the house adjourned TOR dinner. Mr.
Childs of San Antonio voted to table the
resolution, notwithstanding the fact that
it was generally understood in the house
that all the members wanted to adjourn
to attend the Battle of Flowers at San
Antonio in response to an invitation from
the citizens of that city. His vote made
some change in the sentiment of the
house, as several members said in open
meeting that if Mr.. Childs by his vote
showed that he didn't want the members
in San Antonio that they would vote
against adjournment for the purpose OF
going over there.
AT the afternoon session. however,
when the proposition came up again. Mr.
Chies stated that he had voted under,
misrepresentation of the question. and he
now desired to ask the house to accept
the resolution and visit San Antonio.
The resolution to adjourn until Thurs
day morning was finally adopted.

GREECE OVER-CLAssED.

The Greeks thus far seem To have the
advantage. The Going of vantage lost
on Sunday by them has been retaken by
the splendid valor of the unframed
Greek troops. But the advantages
gained by indomitable pluck in the pre-
liminary skirmishcs, ms ii We're. for when
war has assumed all the cruel earnest
ness the first battles are looked back to
us mere skrmishes, do not presagc final
victory. The best drilled troops and the
largest number with the heaviest artil-
lery begin soon to tell a different story.
1t is certainly an advantage for the
soldiers of an army to be animated by
patriotic emotions, but troops can be de-
pended upon more certainly when they
are all drilled into machines and while
one machine may have u stronger motor
than another, il depends upon the skill
of the men who work it more than its
inherent qualities for its successful OPP
erations. When an army is properly
drilled, if it has anything like equal mum.
bers and is as well armed as it's adver-
much upon the metal in which its Off
GERS are cast. 1t was demonstrated in
the Civil war in the United States that
although the southern armies were made
up largely of educated men and accus-
toned to self-assertion and high indi-
vdual character that zen mass" they
depended upon their officers quite as
much as merccnary troops.
Unfortunately, Turkey has more men
from whom to draw its armies and
heavier artillery, with superior navy,
and we fear that Greece. with ali its
hcroism, is overclassed all round by its
enemy. 1t would be much more pleas
ant to those who sympathize with the
and fanatical Moslem to believe other
wise. but facts too obvious stare the sym
pathisers with Greece in the face to come
to any other conclusion. However, it is
to be hoped that Christian Europe will
not stand idly by and with folded hands
see the classic Christian lands Of Greece
torn to pieces by the iron heel OF the war
horse of the bash-bazouks of Asiatic
Turkey. That hope, we believe, may be
confidently entertained by Christendom,
which is in sympathy with the Greeks.
"The powers" will not permit the sultan
either TO win any more territory or ex-
tend his conQuests. The policy of Eu-
rope is just the reverse and therefore
we may be assured that Greece is safe
as far as the autonomy of that kingdom
is at present concerned.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-04-22

The National Republican League. that
visited Mr.. Mckinley to influence him TO
set aside the civil service reform extern
sion effected by the late administration,
assigned as a reason that if they did not
have the advantage of Offering the 40
600 places to young republicans the party
would be deprived of the hope of getting
that number of young republicans into
the party. That must have been very
humiliating confession for the leaders of
a great party to make. 1t was in fact
confession that the republican party
depended for its prosperity upon di-
vision Of spells among its recruits
The platform of the party, upon which
Mr.. Mckinley ran and was elected, de-
clares that "the civil service law was
placed upon the statute books by the re-
publican party. which has always sus-
tanned it," and in his letter of acceptance
Mr. Mckinley said: 1.-The pledge of the
republican national convention that our
civil service laws shall be sustained and
thoroughly and honestly enforced and ex-
tended wherever practicable, is in keep
ing with the position of the party for the
past twenty-four years, and will be faith
fully observed"
Mr.. Mckinley is too strictly and con-
sistently party man to b. seduced
from its declared principles by bride
of 10000 young republicans who refuse
to enter the party without they are turn
ed loose on the treasury to loot it for
their private benefit We rather think
that the party will have to get along
without the 10000 young republicans
who are willing to join it for chance at
10000 Offices. We suppose that the pres
ent administration at least can rock
along without these mercenary recruits.

Now is the time, if ever, for the gods
of Olympus TO aid the Greeks in recov-
ering from the Turk the classic Mount of
Olympus Sentiment is an element of
strength in every war, and around Mount
Olympus clusters a sentiment that will
inspire the Greeks with the ancient he
roic ardor of their race. 1t is quite as
inspiring to the Greek as the tomb of the
Savior was to the crusaders that went
out to battle with Saladin, hui 1t is to be
hoped the Greeks will be more success
full in rcscuing Mount Olympus from the
grasp of the barbarous Turk than the
crusaders were in rescuing the tomb OF
Christ from the Mosem.
