The legal rate Of interest il
Texas, fixed by the constitution o
1911, Is q per cent. A rate not ex

ment sought after, have 6 per cent
Us the highest rate allowed by
contract.
The interest rate prevailing in a
State or section Is usually taken as
a measure Of the credit and probity
Of the people, their law.abiding
character, and the security Of in.
vestments therein.
The highest rate allowed BY con.
tract invariably determines the
rate that prevails. When Texas
had an allowed contract rate Of 12I
per cent, that rate prevailed. When
it was reduced to 10, then 10 per
cent became the usual rate. There
are always certain large interests
and industries in every state that
borrow money at say 80 per cent |
less interest than the prevailing |
rate, however, as for instance. the
manufacturers Of New England
and New York, who get money at
Z and ) per cent. In Texas some
interests get money at less than lOI
ifr cent, but while our prevailing
ra'e Is 20 high, they cannot get
money as low as they might, with
4 lower prevailing rate.
Now what is the sense, the
Justice, in having two legal rates

are usually borrowers to a limited
extent, aud the extent would not
be 20 limited if the prevailing
rates were lower. Now see how

performance from Bismarck however for
ne had again gone to Varzin opened the way
TO French diplomatic Victory
Gramont would have accepted tho denial in
good faith and then insisted on Loopolds With
drawal Subsequent persistence OF he Hohen-
zoIlerns would then have been proof positive
against the Prusslan Government. since the
other Powers undoubtedly shared French suspi-
cions Won Sybe says that France might have
requested Prussia's mediation with Leopold. But
here he is surely batting a trap for the contro-
versialists What GramOnt did now was to
bend every effort 20 the point Of gaining from
Prussia a direct confession of its share In the
Spanish negotiations What he succeeded in
getting was a new refusal u the Spanish throne
from Leopold, this time coupled with a state
ment that the attitude Of France made accept
ance impossible. Evidently the younger genera
ton OF HohenZOllorns had improved on it's pre-
decessOrs In the matter u statscrar Gramont
was excusable IN thinking that move 40 cum
ming this was not dictated by any royal or
princely head He expected a naive confession
that King William had forbidden the little HO-
henZollerns To wander about looking for vacant
thrones: he received what amounted 10 as
surance Of the distinguished consideration Of
Leopold for the Emperor Of the French. All
this could have been gained, and practically WAS
gained by Napoleon privately in the interests Of
peace. The original cause OF quarrel was thus
removed. But GTamont stu demanded King
williams confession of responsibility and def
mite promise that he suscepubilitles or France
should not be wounded In the same way again.
II was the irony Of fate that Count Benedict.
who was really friendly to the ideal OF German
unity should have been chosen to urge these
new claims upon the King. The task was vain

| BEAUTIFUL GIRLS AFFLIGTION.

From the Republican, Versailles, Ind.
The fuckers of Versailles. Ind, like
all fond parents, are completely wrap
ped up in their children. Their daugh-
ter Lucy in particular, has given them
much concern. She is fifteen, and from
a strong, healthy girl, three years ago,
had become weak and kept falling OF
in flesh, until she became a mere skel-
eton. She seemed TO have no life at
all. Her blood became impure and
finally she became the victim OF ner-
vous prOstration. Doctors did not help
her. Most of the time she was con-
fined to bed, was very nervous and
irritable, and seemed to be on the
verge of St. Vitus' dance.
"One morning" says Mrs. Tucker,
1.-The doctor told us to give her DR.. Will
Iiams' Pink Pills, which he brought
with him. He said he was treating a
similar case with these pills and they
were curing the patient. We began
giving the pills and the next day
could see change for the better. The
doctor came and was surprised to see
came and was surprised to see such
an Improvement. He told us to keep
giving her the medicine. We gave
her one pill after each meal until eight
boxes had been used when She was
we'll She has not been sick since, and
we have no fear of the old trouble re-
turning. We think the cure almost
miraculous"

INTEREST in the war this week has
been transferred from Cuba to the
Philippine Islands, on the other
hall OF the globe, many thousand
miles away from the first scene OF
operations. On Sunday last Capt.
Dewey, commanding the U. S. Chi
uese squadron, attacked and COM
pletely demolished the Spanish Phil
lippine fleet in Manila harbor. Al
ter destroying the fleet he began to
lombard the town, and this has no
doubt been captured. In fleeing
from the city the Spaniards cut the
cable SO that no telegraphic messag-
es could be sent. Dispatch boats
carrying the news were no doubt sent
to Hong Kong, and their arrival is
being eagerly awaited. Expected to
hear from there to-day. The stars
and stripes no doubt wave over
Manila. The whereabouts of the
Spanish Atlantic fleet is a mystery.
It is believed to be on the way to
this country, though reports CONT
nue. to come that it is still on the
Spanish coast. If on way to this
country the intention probably is to
intercept, the battleship Oregon now
coming up along the coast OF South
America The Spanish admiral will
perhaps some day before long be
very much surprised to find himself
confronted by Capt. Simpsons
strong squadron, and in few mo-
ments sunk to the bottom OF the sea-.
All Spain's strength is centered in
her navy and when that is destroyed
she will be compelled to give up the
war.

A BOYS FAITH,

don't know what the trouble is,
Cause I'm too little yet,
But papa says that Spain is wrong,
And papa knows, you bet!
And if we get into war,
And papa goes to fight,
The Dons had better drop their guns
And hurry out of sightl
Ny papa he says Cuby's full
Of little boys like me,
What haven't anything to eat
Wish could set them free!-
He says tie Spaniards turn the folks
Out of their homes to die.
And they amt no use denyin' it,
For papa wouldn't lie!
Whenever I set down to eat
/ lose my appetite
To think how those poor children there
Go hungry day and night!
The Spaniards shoot their papas down,
Their mammas cry for bread,
And the luckiest ones, my papa says,
Are the people that are dead.
I don't know what they done to Spain,
But 1 know what would do
If some big bad boy tried to choke .-
Some little boy knew; ..ssz - IT,,
I'd tell the bully to let up,
And if he didn't stop,
I'd take club, and you can bet
That he'd hear something drop.
I hope my papa needn't go
To fight the Spanish foes,
For my dear mamma says that war
Is dreadful, and she knows!
But if the trouble can't be stopped,
And papa goes to fight,
The Dons had better drop their guns,
And hurry out Of sight!
