The charge is made by the ed
itor of the Hillsboro Herald that
every month in the year
a member of the national house
of representatives may draw S10C
in cash from the federal treasury
for clerk hire, although in his Of
fetal capacity he may not have
occasion to expend as much as
So for such work. A United
States senator is provided with a
clerk at not less than S1400 per
annum, although the clerical
work he finds necessary for the
benefit of his constituents is not
usually worth more than half
that sum annually. In most
cases these bonuses received
from the public treasury by con-
gressmen are given by them to
their shiftless sons, or if they
have no sons, to some other de-
pendent relative. 1t is one of the
most valuable perquisites of a
congressman's position and saves
our statesmen many dollars that
they would otherwise have to ex-
pend from their private purses to
maintain their improvident pro-
geny or poor kinfolks. 1t would
be worth while for persons who
happen to have some doubts as
to the extent to which public po-
sition is in this way treated as a
private snap to interview their
senators and representatives on
this subject. For instance, let
them ask Senator Mills and Rep
resentative Burke, who are now
candidates for reelection, for a
statement showing what they
have respectively cost the gov
eminent for clerical help, who
they have employed for clerks
and what steps they have indi-
vidually taken to put a stop to-
this unnecessary and extrava-
giant expenditure of the public
revenues,

NARROW ESCAPE.
Little Louis DUR has a Thrilling Ad-
venture

venture
A miraculous escape from
death was that of Louis Durr, Jr.
the little son of the well known
cotton buyer, last Sunday morn
ing about 8 o'clock.
While riding to the fire near
the west yards his pony ran into
a disused well on a vacant lot,
which was hidden and choked by
a rank growth of weeds. The
animals front feet slipped in,
but recovering he drew them out
only to fall in backwards. The
lad slipped off without a bruise.
The animal remained in the
well until laie in he afternoon,
when with the aid of block and
tackle he was rescued from his
helpless position.-Temple Tri-

The HORSE EDITOR
Is Rudely Awakened From a Golden
Dream.

1t was the moment of breath
ing spell in the busy hum of in
dustry in the newspaper office,
and the horse editor; having got
i into position where the electric
fan could blow its spice-laden
| breezes over his fevered brow,
composed himself to day dreams
Of the gold fields. The icy trails,
the frozen victims of greed, the
limitless stretches os snow, the
gaunt ghosts of starving miners
wandering over the desolate and
unyielding valleys, the awful
suffering of men and animals
and the utter hopelessness and
helplessness of thousands had
faded out of his vision, and he
saw only the yellow metal gleam-
ing and glinting to his touch and
felt the triumphant exultation of
newly acquired wealth. The
world was his, and in his fancy
he had bought the newspaper
on which he had worked for so
many years, and in his mag
nanimity had offered the job of
horse editor to the very man who
had offered it to him so many
years ago. He was driving
down to the Capitol in. his ele-
CANT giltedged carriage to take
his seat in the United States
Senate, and he was doing a
thousand other things only the
rich can do; and one thing he
was doing which 4he rich can't
always do-he was enjoying it
all as if he were a boy with a
new drum and pair of red-top
boots.
Suddenly he was awakened by
some one rudely pushing his feet |
off the desk, and he fell back to |
earth with a sickening thud.
"What the" he began, and |
stopped. /
"Say," said the puzzle editor,
or it was he, 'can you tell me the
between a Holland |
like you know what a Holland
like is-well, can you tell me the
between a Holland
like and a Klondike?"
The horse editor rubbed his
eyes. 1t was Klondike he had
oeen dreaming of.
"What lisp" he ask groutily.

STRIKES don't pay" said Mr..
Debs. 'All strikes are lost. They
are caused by the employing
classes. When capitalists get
ready for strike they provoke
them, knowing well their cause is
won before The conflict is begun.
The various labor unions of this
country have all they can do to
take care of their own men. Never
was this better exemplified than
in the recent miners strike.
Never in my experience have l
seen a strike which had the SYM
pathy of the public and even part
of the employing class as that
one did, and yet when an appeal
was made for financial aid less
than seven cents per striking
miner was received"

The Atlanta Constitution says
"There is no reason why the
price of cotton should not show
and early and very material ad-
vance. The only thing that can
prevent it will be the lack of an
increased demand for cotton
goods. Many of the eastern mills
still have large stocks Of unsold
goods on hands, and some OF
these have been added to by the
anticipation of higher prices
caused by the tariff. Thus far,
cotton goods have made no ma
terial response to tariff legislation
nor to increasing symptoms of
prosperity. When the response
does come, the Constitution hopes
and believes that the price of the
southern staple will rise.

GEN. SAM HOUSTON.

Waco Telephone of statement
relative to a disposition on the
part of the State of Tennessee to
isecure the removal to that State
of the remains of Gen. Sam
Houston and the erection of a
suitable monument to his mem
DRY, the Indifferent and neglect
full manner in which Texas has
treated this grand old patriot and
statesman Of her pioneer days is
receiving some severe, though
well Inherited criticism, the Chat
tanooga Times being particularly
severe in its criticism, much Of
which is richly deserved. In its
comments the Times says: GA
report gaining some circulation
in East Texas, that the remains
of Gen. Sam Houston might be
removed to Tennessee and prop
erly honored in this, his adopted
state, the Texans fared up. They
would not permit it. They would
refuse that "the dust Of the
Texan hero should be disturbed"
and so on for gush. The objec-
ton of the Texans to the dis
turbance of tthe dust of the old
hero" is perhaps the reason why
no monument, or other token of
honor has ever been placed near
his tomb. The heavy tread of
the Texans might disturb the
slumbers of the hero of San ia
cinto! The neglect of Houston's
memory is not creditable to the
state, of which he was the father,
the founder of it as republic
first, its first wise governor, its
sturdy representative in the
federal senate for twelve years,
and far the grandest figure in
the history of the southwest.
Is it because Texas is now con-
trolled by little men, that her
people neglect the memory of
the only really great man who
has adorned her history? We do
not pretend to know why this
neglect; but we do know that the
Lone Star State should, without
delay, honor herself, by remov-
ing the bones of the great soldier
md statesman, who brought her
rom under the barbaric yoke of
Mexico, and made her a state of
he great republic, to the battle-
ield of San Jacinto, and erect
ng over it a suitable monument.
Houston was great and good ;
nan. He was as pure as he was
strong. His character resembled
hat of Washington, more closely
hat any other Americans living
III dead TT O1ICht to he the fret
,are of Texas to treat the mem
'ry of Houston with peculiar
honor. Any state that traces its {
pedigree back to such a splendid t
specimen of Americanism, and
ails to lavish on its parents i
memory all possible veneration
Ind honor, must be verging upon t
moral degeneracy. &

Water street property owners do not
take kindly 90 the proposition to change
the grade OF the street between Elev-
enth and Fourteenth, They met with
tho committee on streets, alleys and
grades and City Engineer White yester-
day afternoon, and after discussing tho
matter decided 90 hold meeting OF all
owners and agents of property near
the wharf In about ten days, The COM
mittes also decided to await the result
OF this meeting.
The proposed changes Of grade are
on Eleventh street from Main 10 Water
and on Water from Eleventh TO the
Windsor alley. These were explained
to the gathering which assembled on
Water street yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. by City Engineer White, He
cited the statements made by the
Pennsylvania railroad officials last year
which to the effect that II the grade
was altered the company would pave
half OF the street.
Among the property owners present
were f, II. Lange, Augustus Poliaek,
II. b. Carney, George Wickham and
W. B. Howell. They seemed to think
that the ''nigger in the woodpile" was
the railroad company. which In their
opinions was seeking to make Water
street switching yard, and that an
additional track would be constructed
for that purpose.
The changes proposed consist In
making the sidewalks on Eleventh
street ten feet In width each, which
would make thirty foot roadway as
the street Is fifty feet. The grade is to
be lowered slightly at Main and Efev-
enth on one side, so as to carry grade
down In such a way as to come to top
of retaining wall at the "PewikF" sta
tlon. The sidewalks on the Eleventh
street are TO be abolished. The other
change would be looping of part Of
Water and Eleventh. So far rs the
committee knows the Panhandle Is
not contemplating raising its tracks,as
feared by the Water street property
owners
The latter state that they bear no OPP
position to the Wheeling & Elm Grove
tracks. hut are afraid of the Pennsyi-
vania putting down another track, The
matter will remain unsettled until after
the citizens meeting next week.
