SsABURY's SUCCESS.
His Speech on the Lower Rio
Grande's Needs Carried
the Day.

Colonel Dink Bolts, the man
about town on the Austin Daily
Statesman recently made the
following remarks concerning
The efforts of Representatis Q
Seabnry on behalf OF the bill to
permit the lover Rio Grande
C unties to issue bonds for a
railroad:
''The folks on the hill had
considerable sport today. And
by the way, il was not all sport,
either. The first thing of con
sequence in the house was the
beautiful word picture of Br'er
Seabury. He was talking to a
resolution providing for a con
stitutional amendment by which
certain counties in southwest
Texas could issue bonds for the
purpose Of building railroads.
Nov, you know that the
gentleman from Starr is one Of
the most accomplished mem
bers OF the body. He is always
happy, but was particularly SO
today. He went On to tell about
the salubrious climate OF the
Rio Grande country; said in
the prolific soil of that section,
could be grown in the open air
the orange, citron. pomegranate
and bananas. Nobody ever
died there: they simply dried
no and blew away with the
wind. Yet with all these mag
nificent conditions the people
had TO fight to get out of the
country when imperative bus
mess called them away
while placing Oh the mar
kets of the country the
varied products OF the re-
gion was an utter impossibility |
for want of railroad facilities. |
His people had never regretted
the aid which they had extend |
ID to other sections ofthe state.
They now wanted an opportu-
nifty to tax themselves in order
hat they might be able toI
build mp their country. Br'er
Seabnry got what he wanted
With the exception that the
lonse, purely npon political
grounds, saw fit TO attach a
provision which made the meas
ire entirely local in its appli
.ation. The gentleman from
Starr is a Gentleman in facts
Courteous. kindly, cool headed,
conservatives, ever ready to as
'ist his friends on the floor,
and they are legion, his popu-
arity aud success are deserved.

Lecture Course.

The Woman's Reading Club offer
the following list in their lecture
course for the coming season:
Concerts-The Welsh Prize Sing.

pany.
Illustrated Lectures-W. NJ. R.
French, and j. B. DeMott.
Platform Speakers-Anna Shaw
and DR.. Henson.
If we may judge by the press no.
tices of these concerts and lectures
(and we do not know why they
should lie about it,, We have here
entertainment which will be worth
the time and the money. 1t seems
to us that the Redpath Bureau should
be "A guarantee for the eXcellency of
these performances and for the abili-
ty of the individual performer to do
the part as undertaken. The course,
in its variety of Entertainment, shows
that the ladies have had in their
view the different tastes that are
found in every community. 1t is
true that every one can not find all
that may be desired in every enter
tainment, yet it would be strange if
any one should in the full course be
unable to find what covers, in his
judgment, the outlay of money and
time. Even two, or one entertain
ment, might do this. There are
plenty of persons in the country who
would give the full price of the ticket
for the season for one of these con-
certs or lectures that suited their
taste and struck the right cord in
their heart.

following places: In the customs

one chief or principal deputy in each

Assistant Secretary Howell, of the
treasury, who has high reputation
as a tariff expert, and who will have
immediate charge of the enforce
ment of the Dingley tariff, has been
studying the new law very closely
and as result says Of it: "The new
tariff is particularly free from am
biguities, which, despite the most
careful efforts, are liable to creep in
to such measures. 1t is a revenue
measure and, in my opinion, will
produce at least SlS5,000000 during
the present fiscal year, and l look
for it to produce ut least S220,00O,00O
during the next Mr. Howell's es-
Inmates are close to those OF Senator
Allison and Chairman Dingley as to
the amount of revenue the new tariff
will produce.

At first the decision of the treas
ury department, that the tariff law
signed on the afternoon of Saturday
by the president went into effect at
midnight of Friday, strikes you as
being wrong, but the more you study
it, the stronger it becomes. The law
does not recognize any fraction Of
day, and the tariff bill having pro-
vided that the law was to take effect
when signed by the president, it
must necessarily take effect from
the first second of the day upon
which it was signed. Such has been
the decisions of the courts and the
treasury officials are confident that
they will be upheld in the appeals
that have been taken to the courts.
The amount OF money involved is
not over 100000.

THE ELECTION LAW.

There is a feeling i'll the Vir-
ginia Legislature which seems
likely to result in some change in
the present election laws Of Vir-
ginia. Gov. O'Fcrrell, in his mes
sage recommended the Emblem
ballot, that is, that the ballots of
the two parties be printed sepcr-
atcly, and % suitable emblem or
picture of some kind be placed at
the top of each one by which the
ticketa may be distinguished by
voters unable to read. We be-
licvc West Virginia has this sys-
TEN of voting. A representative
from Pittsylvania we believe, pro-
poses that the voter shall have
the right to select the one he may
wish to prepare his ballot for him
and so it goes. What will be done
remains to be seen. The truth is
that the dishonest men can take
the advantage ofany law that can
be framed. The old way of viva
voce voting is, probably, the best
after all. The plan was never
discarded SO long as voters were
not afraid or ashamed, from in
timidation or bribery, to let it be
known how they were going to
vote. The history Of all this Sc
crct ballot, and private stall vot-
ing is the history Of the beginning
of fraud in elections. Viva Voce
voting, in our Judgement, would
help to eliminate fraud in elections.
Why should any honest man be
afraid or ashamed to let the
world know how he votes.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, n receptacle for the
urine, and rs such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by ono or
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der was created for one purpose, and if
not dOctored too much is not liable TO
weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is east
ly made and may be as easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder
mely is soon realized. If you need
medicine you should have the best.
