Couldn't Stand the Strain.

The death of Rob.ri G. Back last
evening was due to the fact that he
had not sufficient physical stamina to
bear up under the Kelley cure treat

which his system had been brought
through years of dissipation.
Black was.respectablyc connected, and
held a good position In the Santa Fe
freight Office. But mis- APPETITE for drink

Reports from Austin Indicate that
the irrigation amendment to the con-
stitutiOn has been defeated by east
Texas farmers who were not interest
ed land West Texas cattlemen who were
only Interested in using vast tracks of
unoccupied lands for grazing purposes.
The real reason for the defeat of the
measure was the little interest taken in
it by the people who were directly in
terested. They failed to vote and if the
amendment is really defeated then
they are responsible for it. The present
constitution of Texas was adopted in
1876, even when the school Biographies
OF Texas showed that the whole of
northwest Texas was vast desert in
tested with reptiles and Comanche In
dams. The constitution has be N
found short on many points OF interest
to the citizens of Texas and many
amendments will have to be made oe
fore it meets the requirements of the
times, but when these amendments
have been put before the people to be
voted on, the people have shown little
Interest. and depended on some one
else taking the trouble to go to the
polls to vote. The defeat on the irri-
cation amendment will retard the
growth of west Texas at least ten years.

further advanced in this respect than

torture. However this be, it appears
to be true that McCulloh was man
with whom success of his paper was
everything to him worthy of life. AS
one writer said, he had reached all in
life he could hopetO attain. From now
on it would be struggle to maintain
what he already had attained, he
wanted to die and did. This is about
the logical end OF the man who lives
all for himself and none for others.
Had he taken a part in the great re-

voted fair measure of his great abil-
tiles to relieving the distress around
him, he would have continued to see
something in life worth the living.

ONE death which occurred this week,
one most notable, was that of Gen.
Fraucis A. Walker, president of the
Mass. school of technology. He was
one of the first ranking political econ
omists in the western world. His
father, Amasa Walker, also had good
place among economic writers. Mr..
Walker was at different times, presi-
dent of the American economic assO-

next to the last census. He was also
a strong bimetalist and our forces

JAMES CREELMAN, the famous war
correspondent now in Spain, claims to
have unearthed conspiracy by which
President Cleveland is to turn all the
force of the American government
against the insurgents. Theplot as he
reveals it is that Spain will offer Cuba
some sort of so-called reform which
will not be accepted and make in
refusal the pretense for siding sQuarely
with the Spanish. OF course CleVe-
land has not long to serve but he has
long enough to do the Cubsns much
damage and so commit the policy of
the government. that it would be diff
cult for Mckinley to get away from
it if he should want to.
