A New York journal has interviewed
members of congress on the current re-
port that au effort would be made at
the approaching session to repeal or to
amend what is known as the Sherman
antitrust law. The replies, as far as
received, indicate no intention upon
the part of the lawmakers to repeal
the Sherman law or to offer any
amendment thereto in the interests OF
trusts; the expressed purpose is, II any
changes are made. to render the law
stronger. One trouble in this country
in the states, in the nation and in all
the cities is an accumulation of laws
covering pretty much every subject un-
der the sun, passed readily, almost un-
thinkingly, to become instantly dead
letters. There is no need for new
laws. There is grave and urgent need
for the execution of the laws upon the
statute book.

England is being driven out OF the
market OF Centra! Asia by Russia, &C
cording to a French magazine. The
article referred to is summarized in
part as follows: A marked increase
is noted in the commerce of British
India with Khorassan. In 1867 the
value of the English exports from
Bombay to Mashed was only some
$437 900, less than half that of the pre-
ceding year. This condition of affairs
is explained as follows. The customs
regulations in force along the whole
extent of the transcaspian frontier
prohibit the entrance of European and
British-India goods to the markets
of Central Asia, with the exception of
tea, muslin, indigo, spices, Indian
shoes, precious stones and coral, and
these articles are subject to high du-
ties. Russia has succeeded in having
these articles exported by way Of
Batum, thus aiding the Trans-caspian
railway. The government of the czar
is trying to monopolize the commerce
of Eastern and Southern Persia, Sub
sides are granted to traders, good
Soads have been made in the transcas-
plan territory, consular agents are in
stalled in several districts OF Khoras-
san, and the emigration Of Russian
merchants to different parts of the
province is encouraged. The Russian
merchants have penetrated almost to
the frontiers of India, so that where
the English should be masters of the
markets, mostly Russian goods are
sold. The Russian government is also
paying Russian manufacturers boun-
ties so large that the goods can be
placed on the Central Asia market at
cost of manufacture, thus driving out
goods made in India. The building
by Russia of the Trans-caspian rail-
way has given that country an i'm
mense advantage.

Wood has done at Santiago show con-

do with Cuba. and when once it Is
done, the commerce of the south will
no longer be handicapped, millions of

every year over the yellow specter. and

The movement for better city gov
ernment is becoming stronger and
stronger each year. The reports which
are being received from all sections of
the country are very encouraging. The
conscience of the citizen is becoming
active and he is seeking means where
by he can improve the condition of
the community in which he lives. The
most healthful sign of ell is the great
disregard of national party ties in the
consideration of municipal questions.
Voters do not vote like SO many sheep
on municipal issues nowadays, mere
" following their party nominees.

PATTON SEMINARY.

September, 1896 Patton Seminary threw
open its doors to young ladies' desiring
finished education and TO those who de
sired the accomplishments OF music, ar
and elocution. From the opening day Il
the present there has not been tim,
when the full quota OF the brightest ane
best" have not been In attendance.
The Characteristic features OF this pro-
gressive and popular seminary for young
ladies are ID the select character OF its
patronage (2) limiting It's number OF
pupils and 80 employing only professional
teachers There Is no doubt but that a
school of this kind offers superior ad-
vantages Thoughtful people can not fail
to see at once the necessity of good 1850
ciates for their daughters; nor viii they
be unmindful OF the fact that only linn
tied number OF girls In charge of profess
sional teachers can get better attention
and will advance more rapidly than In the
oyercrowded school.
Patton Seminary Is non-sectarian, each
girl goes TO the church OF her choice. The
school relies on merit for It's patronage.
A healthy moral atmosphere pervades the
school and girls and teachers are allowed
perfect freedom In regard to their relig-
ious belief.
The conservatory OF music is In charge
of musicians second to none; They ars
Endorsed BY the conservatories of old
world as well as the new. The girls OF
Texas could not get better musical train
ing in Europe or America. The director
enjoys the honor OF having been first as
sistant to the court pianist OF the en-
peror OF Germany and holds highest testi-
monials from the Conservatives OF Ber-
lin, Lelpsiz and others Many members
of royal families have sought his instruc-
ton and often have kings and queens,
crowned heads and potenlates listened
with rapturous plaudlts to his music.
The literary faculty come from our
finest universities and bring with them
many years of fruitful experience, having
occupied chairs In our best schools and
colleges. This institution, though young
in years, Is rapidly making history for IT.
