THE inhuman torture OF the negro

the practices OF the most barberous OF

A NEW STATE PROPOSED.

Ell Paso is ambitious. She wishes to be
state capital. She knows that she can
not be the capital of Texas, therefore she
wished a new state carved out from a
part of Texas and part of New Mexico;
herself to be designated as the capital
of the new commonwealth. 1t is pointed
out that there is territory enough in Texas
TO make half dozen states of good size,
and that New Mexico is nearly half as
large as Texas; therefore, if a new state
were carved out of the existing divisions,
Texas would not suffer. and the territory
would still have left enough to make her
one of the largest states in the union
when she comes to be admitted.
Briefly, the proposition is to take in what
is now known as the Pan Handle of Texas
and the territory. and make a state of it,
Ell Paso would be the largest city in the
new division. 1t claims that Ell Paso is the
gateway into Mexico from the United
States, and is constantly increasing in pop
ulation and Importance. Furthermore. it is
remote from the thickly settled portion Of
the state of Texas. 1t is rather hardship

tory, according to the advocates of the
new state, demands that there be a new
alignment and a shortening of distances
between the seat of government and the

The portion of Texas that is wanted for
the new state is principally made up of
large ranches, and there is said 10 be little
community of interest between that Sec
ton and the farming sections further east.

New Mexico consists of 10000 square miles.
and is said 10 be naturally tributary 10
Eel Paso. The proposed new state would
be about as large as North Carolina or
Massachusetts.
1t may be doubted that either Texas or
New Mexico would consent to be pared
down. Texas. proverbially, is "as big as
all out DOORS" but Texans glory in that
fact; they like to talk about 1t, and braE
upon it. In the case of New Mexico. to
consent to giving up slice OF 10000 square
miles of land, with all of its population
would be equivalent to consenting to the

transition period, of getting the negro in
wardy right in order that his relationship
to society may be right. We were driving
out one Sunday from Decatur, when we

hand and a freshly killed possum on his
shoulder We stopped to examine his
prize, and the colonel said:

THE THoMAsvILLE VISIT.

Some of the politicians and a few of the
newspapers are quite certain that the
President did not go to brownsville for
rest. as announced, but for the purpose
of planning for his renomina ton. He want
ed, they say, to get away from the office
seeking crowd and official cares and have
a talk with Senator Hanna, and other po-
litical advisers in whom he has confidence,
concerning the presidential campaign
which will soon open, and to agree upon
a programme for controlling the national
convention.
II is doubtful If the President went to
brownsville with any such purpose Pol
itics probably will be discussed during his
stay in the delightful Georgia town, but
1t is pretty safe to say that not
much will be done in the direction
of planning for denomination. AS
far as the shrewdest politician can now
See the President will be renominated
without a very great effort on his
part and without a great deal
of assistance from his friends. His
appointments have been so dis
tributed that he is pretty certain of
said dedegations from the South and the
territories. His friends in office will see
to it that his interests are properly cared
for In order to get denomination he will
have to have only bare majority. With
out making an effort he will have within
40 or $50 of enough delegates from the
South and the territories to nominate
him, and he ought to have no difficulty
in getting that number in the West and
East.
He is not worrying about his renomina-
ton. The talk that he is In Townsville
planning for has denomination grew out
of the fact, probably that he paid visit
to that town four years ago, and had some
conferences with politicians who visited
him there about his candidacy for the
nomination for President
1t may be that the question of renom-
ination of ice-President Hobart will re-
ceive some attention. Still, 1t seems pref
" well admitted that he is satisfactory
TO his party and TO the President The
party might fare a great deal worse if it
should make a change. He is on the best
of term with all of the interests which
favor the denomination of the President.
1t is safe to assume that those who die
tated the ticket in 1896 have decided. so
far as they are able to control the situa-
ton, that the ticket in 1900 shall be Nc

a nicely groomed young woman was
walking down Twelfth street, near G. a
few days ago, leading a fox terrier dog
by chain, says The Washington Post. It
was a pretty .shapely dog, with all the man
nerisms of a lady's pet, and rugged out IN
pretty harness. with a pretty bow OF
purple ribbon on his back The fox terrier
paid a great deal of attention 10 the eX-
elusive joo of minding his own business
aud he looked as if his environment was
such that he'd run a thousand miles to
keep out of trouble.
A small boy, leading a scrappy looking,
Well-deyeloped black-and-tan dog by
piece of dirty rope came along in the OPP
posite direction. The black-and-tan was
tugging at his piece of rope, and his gen
eral manner was that of dog that want
ed trouble and a lot of it. The small boy
leading the b}ack-and-tan got mis- eye on
the fox terrier being. led by the nicely
groomed young woman, and he whispered
hoarsefy to the boy along with him:
Watch me trun scare into mammals
purity baby dog wit de ribbon an bells on
him"
just as the boy and the lady passed
each other with their respective CANNES
the urchin released the black-and-tan with
triumphant "Sic EN-"
The black and tan jumped at the fancy
rugged fox terrier as if it was all over but
the shouting and cashing in. Then some
thing happened. The lady quickly reached
down. unsnapped the chain from the fox
terriers collar and remarked to the dog,
Now, go in and eat him up, Jimmy"
The way that mammals purity baby dog
wit de ribbon an bells on him. waded
in and chewed up the scraggy black and
tan was something ridiculous. 1t was
simply a one-dos fight and the fox terrier
was the ole dog. The black and tan was
out-classed beyond all reckoning. He
didn't get in bite, whereas there wasn't
a square inch on the black and tan's hide
that the pet fox terrier didn't have
chew al in two-minute mix-up.
The black and tan took it all out in yelp-
ing and trying to break away, while the
beribboned dog didn't emit growI, but
just stuck to his job of doing up his an
tagouist in detail. The urchin looked full
of worry when he saw the small show his
dog had, and tried desperately TO grab
the black and tan's rope. The lady stood
by and smiled easily. When, finally the
fox terrier had succeeded in getting a
carefully planned clutch on the other
dogs throat. "Thatu do Jimmy" said
the young woman, and the fox terrier let
the black and tan up and ran to his mis-
tress, wagging his stump of a tail. There
wasn't a scratch on him, and even his
purple ribbon was unruffied. The lady
snapped his chain on again and walked on
and the chagrined small boy batted his
limping dog over the head for causing him
the humiliation.
''Wot tins de use o owning a dawg dat
makes you feel like t'irty cents" the
boy muttered.
