LET US HAVE ECONOMY.

The Congress that has just closed IS much criticised l6r it's extravaganza. In addition to the expenses made neces- sary by the war, members of Congress, of both political parties, have reckless ly voted to scatter money right and left. This Congress appropriated in all $l ,5GG- 890, ,0l6, more than two-thirds of which had nothing 10 do with the Spanish war. And it did this in the face of the treasury deficit which the chairman of the House Committee onappropriations estimates will amount to more than ono hundred millions by June 30th! State Legislatures, both Republican and Democratic, and city governments of all political compleXions, are too many of them doing the same thing.
 Itis likely that this lavish extrav- agence would be checked If women could vote. It is harder for women to get a dollar than it is aman, and long practice in making little money goas far as possible has developed in most women the habit of economy. A fam ous man said years ago that he belived Tn woman suffrage precisely because few women n keep house so extravagant- ly as chancellors of the exchcquer keep they State.
 Where women have the ballot, a check ing waste has followed. The Women's Civic Federation of Denver secured the

 The trouble started Tuesday while Corbett was playing at the faro game run by StegalI. Corbett was very abu- slve using vile language while playing, and finally left the game with threats towards the dealer. On Wednesday he returned after repeating his threats in other saloons, and went to the faro table. StegaII knew of these threats and believed he was there for trouble, and not willing to wait to see what he would would do, struck Corbert with the end of a billiard cue. but the stick broke without accomplishing the object They then clinched, Corbett had Steg- all by the throat. when Stegall drew his gun and shot, the ball first going through the shooters left hand.
 Deputy Marshal Benbrook arrived in time to prevent further trouble, but for the marshais prompt arrival, one ot the men would have been killed.
 The left eye of Stegall received hard blow that has closed it, but whether from blow it is not stated Both men were arrested and placed in jail. Steg all's friends bailed him out, while Corbett could not furnish bonds an was placed in the hospital in charge of the warden.-Globe Times.

DIVINE WRATH.
A Negro Stricken Dead Willie
 Cursing God.

A special dispatch to the Globe
 D emocrat Caldwell Tex, March IT says: The negroes of tho Brazos
 buttons in Burleson county, are
 terribly exercised over what they consider avisitation of devine wrath One of fthelr people died flow days ago under very extraordinary cir camstances. The deceased was known to be very wicked and pro- fane man and he made no effort to conceal bis contempt for religion in every form. He hated preachers and made sport of all who attended church. On last Sunday he happen ed to travel a road that passed by a meeting house where the colored
 people were engaged in worship.
 An opportunity was here presented for the scoffier to show his opinion of religion, and he stopped and made all kinds ofsport of the church the preacher and all people who were engaged in worshipIng God. No one interrupted the scoffer, and when he bcame tired of abusing the people and theIr religious belief he mounted his horse and rode away. Not far from the meeting house he stopped at roadside saloon and, yet laboring under the excitement that he had aroused while talking at the church, he called for drink of whiskey. "Give me hell's pizen and Gods wrath" he shouted. While filling his glass he kept oa raving against religion. He had no sooner swallowed tho liquid than he fell dead on the floor of the saloon. The cO]ored people who were present were paralyzed with wonder and fear, and It was not without considerable dimculty that they could Dc induced to re- move the corpse and give it dec- ent burial. The facts in the strange occurrence seem 10 be we'll au. and nothing could con- vince the colored people that God did not strike the scoffer dead to punish him for his wickedness. He was q comparative stranger in the neighborh pod and called him. self John Haynes.
