The New York Times made q center
shot when II Declared that the underly-
ing motive b ne Ellver movement is
the desire % st something for moth
ing. This teEaa remark was provoked
by the franz ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the
Brooklyn BrYnn Democrats that "they
would prefer d6ilars Of paper that cost
nothing at an o dollars Of silver that
cost 80 cents apiece" The Times says
that it is probable that this move is
in obedience q the suggestion Of the
financial fakir q Nebraska. and adds:
at would certainty b in harmony with
his avowed IDEAS, and his theatrical
procllvitles may have induced him to
try the new game on the Kings county
dog before transferring It tOG larger
stage.
ut is noteworthy that the Brooklyn
Bryanltes couple their advocacy Of
government paper with opposition to
the banks. and especially to the issue
of money ~ TIE banks. This is en-
tlrely natural. because 1t is one OF the
Inconvenience Of dealing with banks
that no one can get money or moneys
worth from them for nothing. The
banks are the custodlans Of good deal
Of property belonging to others, and
their only source Of prOft is the man
agement of that property. One Of the
conditions Of their business is that they
shall be able to meet at sight all de-
mands on them Of those whose prop
erty they have In keeping. This neces-
slty, together with an old-fashIoned
honesty that has been bred in them by
generations Of practice. makes them
most unpromlslng victims of the plans
of persons who seek their money with
out offering fun equivalent for it.
II the directors were chosen by popu-
lar election and the majority Of their
constituents were Of the Bryanite way
of thinking. they might fnd 1t expedi-
emit to issue money to please their
constituents without adequate security
or hope of return. rs the Congress of
the United States has repeatedly been
asked to do, and sometimes has come
near doing. But even then the banks
would be 50 promptly ruined by the OPP
GRAFTON that they would be of little
real use for Bryanlte purposes. The
only hope Of these is in the politicians.
At present this Is rather slim. but the
Bryanites are logical in trying to make
the most of 1t BY popular agitation and
otherwise"

NOW READY.
Daughter Of the Elm.
A Tale Of the Virginia Border
Before the War.

By GRANVILLE DAWSON HALL.
A powerful story, recalling forgotten
tragedies. A love story threads a
stirring recital Of crime and de-
tective work. Scene in the valley
Of the upper Monongahela, con-
Meeting With Pittsburgh, Clarks-
burg and Fairmont.
The book is something more than
an ordinary bit of fiction. 1t has
substratum Of historical fact, and
some real people figure in its
pages. There is a vivid glimpse Of
American life as found in that valley
forty years ago. The book critic o.
a great metropolitan western daily,
who read the manuscript, says the
author has clipped his pen in the
very pigments Of life" The head Of
a leading Chicago publishing house
said Of It: eve have been much in
terested;" 'the plot is clever" and
details ingenious" "The story itself
is interesting and there are some
capital situations"

CHRISTMAS WISH.

I wish that good old Santa
Would travel like. show,
And to his tent Of plRythlngs
For nothing let me go;
And take along my stockings
To MI in laughing glee
With all the things he fondly
Hangs on the Christmas tree.
I'd see the pnsteboard camel
Wink at the kangaroo
I'd see the china wombat
And QuRggG chase the gnu;
I'd see the rubber ostrich
Serenely wink his eye
To see the monkey capture
Tho peanut on the fly.
And then I'd see old Santa
With all his books OF rhymes;
I'd grab him by the whiskers
And kiss him nifty times,
And on hlH back 60 riding
Beneath the fairy dome.
And with n lot Of plRythingB
Go running Eally homo
IT'S then think old Santa
Should up and 20 awny,
And in some other Village
put up his tent next day:
And then go on still further,
And further still ana still,
To let all lovely children
Their great big stockings NIL
'Twould then be always Christmas,
All musical with Joy,
And bending tree and turkey
And hobby-horse and toy;
For while upon his travels
Old Slntn'd scatter cheer
He'd make n Christmas somewhere
Each day throughout tho year.

Sabine Pass Extension.

The Southern Pacific management
is hard at work upon a reconstruction
of the old Sabine and East Texas
Railroad tracks between Beaumont
and Sabine Pass. Work has been in
progress now for a week or longer
upon this enterprise, and when the
large gangs of men now employed
there have completed their labors the
Southern Pacific will have a direct
line from Houston to Sabine Pass.
The country from Beaumont to
Sabine Pass is very low, and the
Southern Profile is filling up the right
of way with about two feet of sand,
after which half foot of the sort of
rock ballast used in this State BY the
road will be placed upon the sand,
the track coming upon this.
The rebuilding of fhis road is for
the purpose of being able to further
develop Sabine Pass. With a good
line into Sabine Pass, and terminal
facilities at Galveston and this city
the Southern Pacific management
hopes to be able to handle all the
business which it may control.
Work upon the Sabine Pass termi-
nal will start activity in a short while,
too, so it was learned yesterday.
There will be a large force of con-
victs engaged in these labors, and
several hundred men have been Sc
cuoad from this city and all along the
line for the work.
1t is the intention of the company
to make the line from Beaumont to
Sabine Pass as good as the line from
Houston to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The State Fair opened on Monday
at New Orleans, with much enthusi-
assn, the crowd in attendance was
about 5000. The editor of the St.
Martinville Messenger does not think
very favorably of the fair, he says:
"A visit to the New Orleans expo
sition grounds leaves JUS under the
impression that the Fair will not be a
very great affair, as there was nothing
yet on the grounds, and not much,
in this line, can be accomplished in
one week. We fear the country peo-
pie will be greatly disappointed when
they visit the New Orleans Fair, as
we know they expect much more than
they will see."

SOMETHING WORTH READING.

" @t
In these days when there is no end
to the making of books it is indeed a
gladstone relief-an appreciated treat
co peruse a book whose merit lifts it
way above the dull, dreary platitudes
Of the ordinary novel or essay. Such
have we found uStudies in the Psy-
chology of Woman by Laua Mar
holm, an accomplished and erudlte
German author. This valuable work
has been SO excellently translated by
| Georgia A. Etchison, that it has lost
thereby none of its freshness and
sparkling vigor. 1t is unfortunate
chat such a powerfully written work
wherein every paragraph proclaim
some vital truth or rouses the mind to
think. should have it's usefulness
marred by an unhappy title. 1t sounds
too bookish, il suggests visions
of eye glasses, short hair and ''blue
stockings with such unseen force
that the ordinary reader, the very n
whom it would bless and benefit will
possibly-pass it by and fail to drink
of the pure, and Gfe-giying waters OF
truth which bubble fountain-like from
its pages. 1t tells of Gods last,
best and most mysterious creation
woman, not the woman of poesy and
romance, but woman as she really is
woman Of Observation-Disclosures
Forever. Here are a few paragraphs
taken at random they sparkle like
stars in a clear winter sky:
.sWho ever has lived life, first with
out personal happiness and then in
the personal happiness shows that for
the woman who has remained woman
there is no limitation of personal hap
piness for the woman in her woman
ly activity will everywhere go beyond
her personal happiness and outside OF
it-into the all-motherly."
1.-THE more heterogeneous and I'M
settled a civilization is, the more diff
!, icult becomes the realization of love,
for woman Every civilization indi-
Gates a definite ideal Of feeling and
action. We have sought for nearly
a hundred years to develop in oul
women a false womanliness, not only
outwardly but inwardly, physically
psychically. In consequence, love
has become less and less a blind in.
J stinct to which woman yields without
conditions or exactions. For the cul
5 tivated woman Of to-day, love is nj
longer a compelling force"
