A Stranger in New York.

This morning a delayed Cotton
Belt train from the north brought
in the theatrical troupe of the
above name, and there being no
one at the depot to pilot them to
the hotel or boarding house ar
ranged for their accommodation by
their advance agent, they started
out on their own hook to look up
the house and their movements
would have drawn the inference
that they were not only strangers
in New York but very much away
from home in Texarkana.
The company is composed of good
looking people, both ladies and men
and they dress in good clothes and
if they don't put up good show
tonight we will say there is nothing
in looks.
This troupe carries car load of
special scenery to produce the play
and it was carried out to the Audi
torium this morning by the Hunter
Transfer company.

SEED DISTRIBUTION.

Notice has been served on the men,
bers of Congress by the Agricultural
Department that orders for vegetables,
flower and other seeds annually dis
tributed by the Government will now
be received.
The following information is offered
for the guidance Of the public. All
orders for seeds must be delivered at
the Agricultural Department by the
First of May, 1898. No orders will be
filled after that date. The orders are
filled and prepared for shipment by
the contracting firm and not by the the
Agricultural Department, nor by the
Congressman, as was done heretofore,
but allSOrders should be addressed to
some one of the Congressional dele
cation.
Each applicant for vegetable or
flower seeds will receive FIVE packages
of mixed seeds, as for exampls, one
package made up of beet, cabbage, car
rot, celery and cucumber; and so on
for the other four packages. While it
would afford me pleasure to supply
each constituent with the variety of
seeds he desires, under the system of
in use it viii be impossible
to do this. Five packages will be issued
to all applicants alike. What they
want may be in the issue,,if it is not
there is no help for them.
The member of Congress and each |
Senator will have at his disposal 1920 |
packages of vegetable seeds, and 400 |
packages of flower seeds. In addition
20 the above they will also have So
quarts of Micia Villosa seed, a forage
plant for sheep; % quarts Of Alaska
Clover; 40 quarts Of Alfalfa, and 40
quarts of lawn grass.
Persons wanting these seeds can
make application to me. The Govern
nent will deliver them in the early
pring.

danger which threatens, if the
rumor respecting the Governors
intended conference with Justices
of the Supreme Court is founded
on fact. 1t is a matter which
should awaken profound appre-
hension in the breast of every
loyal and patriotic citizen, ire
spective of party or politics. II
this rumor touches the truth, then
we have the alarming spectacle
of the executive branch of gov
eminent expressing flippantly an
intention to subordinate and per-
vert the judiciary-to make the
Supreme Court an instrument for
the promotion of partisan political
ends. 1t is scarcely necessary to
point out the enormity of such an
ofense, but we cannot overlook
the insidious character of the dam
ger. Decisions of courts OBJ
tanned by such methods often do
not alarm the public as they
ought to do, because they are apt
to meet with certain amount Of
popularity, manufactured for the
occasion; and under cover of a
pretended concession to public
exPediency and public opinion,
the laws are vitiated, constitutions
nullified and, finally, the last safe
guard of liberty destroyed.
