The power which public opinion
now exerts occupied an incidental par
egraph in a recent speech by Lord
Salisbury. Certainly two classes OF
deluded persons are those who care
nothing for what people think and
those who are entirely swayed by what
people think. A man who refuses to
wear a dress coat on occasions where
uress coats are in order provokes need
less criticism and wastes in q puny
war energy that might be better en-
.ployed; whereas a man who, unable
to procure conventional evening attire,
should absent himself on that account
from gathering where he would be
welcome in afternoon dress. errs in
che opposite direction. Public opinion
Ia so powerful an element in life that
It behooves the individuals Of society
to see to 1t that they contribute only
sane and sound conclusions to the gen.
eral resultant.

COMPETITION.
Senator o. II. Plat Makes Some Novel
Points for Railway.

Senator o. II. PlAtt Makes Some Novel
Points for Railways.
BY Senator o. H. Plat: Competition
In railroad transportation differs from
every other kind of competition In the
world. do not say that 1t is not to be
judged by the same legal rule, but
say In essence and In character 1t is
different from competition In any 9th.
or business. In the first place, 1t is
not competition in trade. The railroad
buys nothing of the producer; 1t sells
nothing to the consumer. II simply
carries-it distributes; that is ALL Con-
tracts In restraint Of trade may oper-
ate the same with reference to con-
tracts between common carriers as
between merchants; but the two kinds
OF business differ in character. II die.
fers from every other business. because
whatever the result of the competition
and the rivalry the railroad stays. Ri
cardo Is great advocate of the doc
trine that competition is the life of
trade; but he writes from a bankers
standpoint. In banking, capital is cir
culatory. II competition drives 1t out
OF the banking business 1t may go into
the manufacturing business. But the
railroad stays whatever the result of
competition.
II competition and the survival of
the flttest" means the physical removal
OF the weakest, the pretended law is
inapplicable, for you cannot remove
the railroad. When It's iron rails are
laid down from point to point there
1t stays; and however many companies
may be bankrupted by competition.
there stands another company ready to
take Its place and to be bankrupted in
turn. 1t is not so on the highways.
1t Is not so on the waterways. II two
rival coach proprietors disagree and
one is bankrupted, the coaches can 20
elsewhere and run on other roads. II
rival steamboat lines disagree and by
competition one is bankrupted, the
boats can go elsewhere. The world is
full OF free highways, but the railroad
is not a free highway.

company lives in camp, and their pres
ence on the border is accounted for by
the fact that the country for a con-
siderable distance on both sides of the
Rio Grande is the hiding place for des-
perados, outlaws and cattle thieves.
Scarcely a day passes that the service
Of these armed men Is not sought by
cattlemen, ranchers or some traveller
who has suffered the loss Of property
at the hands of the desperate charac-
ters who infest the mesquite thickets
and cacti-covered hills Of the plains.
A stout ranger tells story of a
recent battle with a desperate outlaw
that presents features of such start
ling and horrible character that the
bare recital Of the cold facts taxes the
credulity Of one not familiar with
scenes upon field Of carnage Those
who remember the headless rider that
dashed about over the battlefield of
Woerth during the Franco-German
war, will doubtless read the rangers
strange story with more interest than
others. This ranger suddenly rode
within earshot Of the man he wanted,
and he called to him to surrender. The
outlaw replied with rife shot, accom-
panying the echo Of the flrearm with
laugh and the words, 1.-THE guard
dies; it never surrenders." "Ah, you

City and deliver 1t to q friend from
whom It had been borrowed. He wa
almost at the heels Of the outlaw
horse, and happening to think of tn,
old sword he drew 1t from the scab
bard and, swinging It over his head
once more he called to the outlaw t
surrender, but the desperate man re,
piled by driving the steel into the
TANKS Of his horse. The bright blade
flashed through the air and struck the
outlaw on the back Of the neck. II
was a master stroke, the result Of
which astonished the ranger. The head
OF the outlaw spun through the air and
fell into a bunch Of cactus That OF
itself was sufficiently horrible, but
there was something still more amaz-
ing and blood-curdling in front Of the
ranger. The headless trunk of the out
law did not fall from the flying horse
The blood was squirting high into the
air from the arteries Of the neck, but
the body sat in the saddle with arms
and legs clinging to the animal and
looking as rigid as II they were made
of iron. A dozen or more rangers who
were riding the range had heard the
firing and they were riding in gallop
to the rangers assistance from an OPP
posite direction. AS they rode over a
low ridge the first thing they saw was
the headless outlaw, not twenty steps
away, and coming towards them as II
the horses feet were hardly touching
the earth. Not one lacked courage.
They had proved that In q dozen bat
ties, but they had already began to
retreat into the bush, too much terri
fled to open their mouths, when the
headless body of the outlaw dropped
from the saddle and struck the sand
like a log of wood. The body had chung
to the saddle for 200 yards. The ranch
ers corroborated the story of the ran
ger, and they say that the arms and
legs Of the dead man were like pieces
OF iron. The limbs were so firm and
rigid That 1t would have been impos-
sible to have bent them in any d.
rection without breaking them.
The Texas rangers are brave men.
It is doubtful whether there is another
military organization on earth that
endures so many hardships and faces
so many dangers. Old soldiers famil-
lar with campaigning say they would
rather serve in the ranks OF any army
in Europe during actual war than to be
Texas ranger. Watchful and grave
enough while riding through the cac-
tus, the moment that they get out on
the plains where they can look about
them they are ready to tell a story or
sing song.

Study Of Mexican AborIgines,

DR.. Carl Lumholtz, a Norwegian ex-
plorer, who has been in Mexico for the
last three years in the interest of the
American Museum of Natural History
has returned to New York with much
valuable information, pictures and cur
los. DR.. Lumholtz left New York in
May, 1894, going to the city of Mexico
where he saw President Diaz and OBJ
tanned proper credentials. He then
started on a three years journey on
horse and muleback, visiting the most
inaccessible and least known of the
tribes. From Chihuahua he went west
ward into the land of the cave jewellers
and there followed the Sierra Madre
del Norte to the end, His chief object
he says, was to study the history OF
the aboriginal stock Of Mexico. "These
Mexican tribes" he says, "as a rule
have been advancing in intelligence, but
in some directions there has been de-
generation. The Juchieoles, In the
north of Jalisco, which is a rough, in
accessible country that is little known
are almost In their primitive wildness
They cant be driven into towns and
preserve their ancient customs
Through work of the missionaries these
people are nearly all nominally Roman
Catholics, but only nominally. They
never give up their original religious
faith, though they willingly accept the
new. Now the natural religion of all
these people is an unlimited pantheism
Witchcraft controls them in all things
The universe is peopled with gods to
them. They are very much alike. To
know one tribe is to know all the rest. II

prunknrds In Don marx.

The police in Denmark have curl.
Gus way of dealing with the drunk
and incapable found in. the streets.
They summon cab and place the pa
tient inside IL, then they drive to the
police station, where he gets sober;
then home, where he arrives both So
Der and sad. The police never leave
him till they have seen him safe in the
family bosom. Then the cabman
makes his charge and the police sur
geon makes his, and the policemen
make their own claim for special duty,
and this bill is presented to the host
of the establishment where the cul-
prit took his last empowering glass.
The publicans, however, have pro-
tested against this system. They say
the proofs are often insufficient and
the police surgeons too summary in
their examination; further, that many
notorious evil-doers sham drunken
ness. They, therefore, claim that they
should have their own doctor to exam
inc the cases so as to defend the in
terest of the saloonkeeper.

The newspaper that hesltates to pub
lish an account Of the occurrence or
discovery Of a secret marriage Is q
rarity, yet aside from actual crime few
events are the cause Of so much re-
greet and misery. The young man who
moved by romantic Ideas or by any
other motive, urges young woman to
agree to a clandestine marriage usually
proves by that very act weakness and
rashness Of character; while statistics
assert that the majority Of such mar
riages result in divorce. The papers
have recently given with a fullness Of
detail which has brought shame to q
large circle Of innocent relatives, the
revelation of secret marriage, six
months before, Of two college students,
the subsequent discovery Of which,
with its attendant shock, notoriety
and wounded pride, was the direct
cause of death to a devoted parent.
How impossible, on such a foundation
of memory, to build any happy, sacred
family life.

A Cont of t,rnss.

The oldest thing in bric-a- brac is
little Italian vase made of red clay,
upon which, with little care, you
can have the 'green grass growing all
around" in the utmost luxuriousness
All you have to do is to soak the vase
in water for day, and then sprinkle
timothy seed all over the outside. The
seed sticks to the wet clay and sprouts,
and in about ten days from the time
you sow your seed you have harvest
in the form Of green jacketed vase
that makes the most beautiful flower
receptacle imaginable.
The grass lasts for about month if
700 are careful to keep water in the
vase, and then it can be peeled off and
renewed in the same manner as be-
fore.

They were organized soon after Mexico
had defeated the armies Of Mexico.
Long before the war Of the Rebellion
the rangers had distinguished them
selves in many battles with the Co
manches and other wild Indians, and
won the appreciation Of the government
for their courage and vigilance in de-
Tending the frontier settlements.
After the terrible Comanches and
other wild tribes had been conquered
and forced to settle on reservations,
the service of large bodies Of rangers
was no longer required by the state.
At this time there are only a few COM
panies Of rangers in the field. Doubt
less Captain Brooks company, with
headquarters at Cotulla, Is not only
the most conspicuous organization in
the service but one from which the
most is expected. This company Is en-
gagged in protecting and guarding the
Rio Grande border. They are all young
men selected for their physical
strength, courage and proficiency in
craftsmanship. They furnish their own
horses and part Of their equipment and
receive for their dangerous work and
constant vigilance $50 per month. Ev-
cry man is mounted upon a superior
horse, and armed with a Winchester
and the best revolver that can be pro-
cured from the arsenals Of the country.
Their best horses are Of the mustang
breed, and said to be descendants of
the beautiful ponies Of the Comanches.
1t is said that no other breed of horses
on earth possesses such speed, COM
bined with such remarkable endurance
as these admirable little animals. This

What London Drinks.

Mr.. John Monroe has devoted not a
little time to the study of the princi-
pal liquors, beer, wine, spirits, coffee,
tea, cocoa and mineral waters which
the Londoner drinks At the present
day, he says, about ,77,OoO, 600 gallons
of beer are drunk in London yearly
and ts5, 900 gallons daily, and he gives
us the interesting information that
taking 4s5,OOO gallons as $4,000 cubic
feet, barrel seventy-six feet long and
thirty-six feet in mean diameter will
hold this quantity. The Londoner
consumes daily about $500 gallons of
wine, and of spirits, home and foreign,
about 10000 gallons. About $500
pounds of tea are consumed in London
daily, while of aerated waters it is es-
timated that not less than 1s7,0 900 gall
Ions are consumed The reports of the
Metropolitan police give the numbers
of the licensed public houses, includ-
ing hotels, taverns and bars of all
shapes and sizes, as about IA, 900.

Much has been said in the papers
the past few years concerning the
preservation of old letters. The in
discretion of editors in laying bare
private matters has instigated many a
man and woman to burn manuscript
accumulations Of untold value. 1t is
wise to destroy Immediately letters
which contain unpleasant personali-
ties, and not to save beyond the time
Of answering those void Of especial In

A Vienna Mother.

A medical weekly paper published
in the city of Vienna says that Mrs
Mariana Helm, the wife of spinner
of that city, though only 40 years of
age, is the mother of thirty-two chill
dren, namely twenty six sons and six
daughtersl These children were born
as follows; Four, three, four, two,
three, two, three, three, two, three
and three; or eleven births in all. The
mother has nursed the whole of her
children, and they are still alive. Mrs
Helm was herself one of four children,
born together, and her mother had
thirty-eight children. 1t is a remark
able circumstance that this woman
from her 18th year to the present time
has suffered almost every week from
an attack of epilepsy, but none of the
children up to the present time have
been afflicted with the disease.

Robert the Bruce.

Art has lent no aid to the imagi-
nation in it's attempt to realize the
outward appearance of Robert the
Bruce, his companions in arms, or his
enemies, for the rude portraits on his
coins can hardly be regarded as serious
portraits Neither statues nor pict-
ures have presented their lineaments,
and all that is known of the King Of
Scots is contained in the following
brief passage in the Historic Majoris
Britannica: "FIis figure was graceful
and athletic, with broad shoulders; his
features were handsome; he had the
yellow hair Of the northern race, with
blue and sparkling eyes. His intellect
was quick, and he had the gift of fluent
speech in the vernacular delightful to
listen to-" Surprising the remains ex-
humed at Dunfermline in the early
part of the present century to have
been King Roberts, which is far from
improbable, he must have stood about
six feet high.
