we ought to be, it has been dangled before

protoplasm which grasps particles of food

are found a nucleus and a nucleolus and
certain clear spaces termed contractile vesi-
cles. Food seized by the pseudopodia is
engulfed within the soft sarcode body, the

Senator Mills makes the decision of the
majority OF the Democratic state commit
tee in Texas, to regard no man as Dem
ocrat who does not subscribe to the 16-to-l
declaration, a pretext For retiring from
candidacy for reelection. Mr.. Mills few
years ago was one of the most prominent
men in the Democratic party. That was
when the party was running upon the free
trade track. Now the Texas Democracy,
which six years ago would have made faith
in free trade the party test, has swung
around TO protection. For a short time Mr..
Mills became rather rabid silverite but it
was of no use. He has been left, and now
he tells the truth about silver as he sees
it, and as most other intelligent Democrats
see it,

That the Spanish Ministry, after intimat-
ing that the recall of Consul General Lee
was desired, and it being refused by the
President, should so promptly withdraw its
request is quite remarkable. If it is intended
to show to other governments that Spain is
avoiding war, it will scarcely accomplish
such a design, since the nations well know
that the President could not recall a repre-
sentative who has scrupulously carried out
his policy. If the lobject was TO appease
the weyIerites, the Sudden change will have
the opposite effect. The only plausible ex-
PLANTATION is that the Ministry is panicky.
