Davis of Duty Here.

The War Department Relieves Major
Davis of Duty Here.
Major Charles L. Davis, the United
States Army officer now on duty here,
has again been ordered to report to
Porto Rico at once for duty.
Though the first telegram stated that
he was relieved from duty here, later
one directed him to remain at his post
until another officer should reach here to
take his place.
The Governor values the services of
Major Davis very highly and he will use
all the influence at his command to have
the order taking him away revoked
1T will be remembered that Major
Davis last winter received a similar or
der, and it was through the influence
of the Governor that it was revoked.
Because of that extension of time Ma
jor Davis thinks his present chances of
remaining here are little slim.

HOUSTON, is undergoing the throes
of a school war, and it is even more
bitter than the fight Ell Paso witnessed
last spring. Just as it was here, SO in
Houston, politics is at the bottom ard
a desire to control the Offices. Judge
Fox, of the district court, has caused
to be issued a restraining order on the
from paying out any money on
account of the schools except on war;
rants authorized by the board of trus-
tees of that body and in reply Mayor
Brsshesr has given notice that the
city would not pay out of its funds
any bills for school supplies except
upon orders for goods which had been
furnished by him. It is thought the
next step that will be taken will be quo
warranto proceedings on the part OF
the mayor to test the title OF the mem
bers of the school board. And while
nen are striving for points, there Is
lost sight of the welfare of the chill
dren and their education.

The CoIonePs Kentucky Enterpris


Is it chivalric courage or is it politi-
cal madness which impels Col. Bryan
to proceed to Kentucky to make
speeches on the stump in Goebel's be-
half?
No job of brain and tongue ever yet
undertaken by Col. Bryan has been
half so difficult or perilous as this uu-
dertaking is likely to prove. He is not
going into the enemy's country this
time; he is going into the friends coun-
try to speak for the enemy. All of his
political Interests are with the demo-
Gratis who oppose Goebel. In serving
Goebel's cause, Col. Bryan will be pro-
noting the common cause OF the oppo-
nents of Bryan.
Our own supposition is that misap-
prehension of the facts of the situation
in Kentucky led Col. Bryan to make a
more or less definite agreement to
speak for Goebel; and that now in spite
of clear understanding of his mis-
take, and In spite of the earnest warn
ings of his well-wishers. he considers
his personal honor involved to an ex-
tent which will not permit him to with
draw on any pretext whatever.
II that is so, it is Creditable to the
Colonel that he should insist on re-
deeming his promise at the expense of
his political fortunes: but what q dia-
lectical task he is walking deliberately

Olive Oil to Counteract.

Among the great drinkers, there
has always been a tendency to place
the Englishman, especially an army
or navy officer, at the head of the list.
The reason for this singular immunity
enjoyed bv the followers of thes pro-
LESSONS has never been hitherto ex-
planned, but there is a system. which
explains the reason of this thusness.
The sc cret is said to lie in olive oil one
wineglass of which is to be taken be
fore starting on carouse, and, If pos
sible, one during the course of the
evening.
1t is supposed that the oil acts by
coating the stomach, and so keeps the
alchohol from being absorbed by the
system, and so getting to the brain,
where it produces its peculiar poiso-
nous effects.-London Weekly.

A FEW days ago the HERALD called
attention to the statement of some
southern politicians that candidate
Bryan had stated he could not vote for
Crisp for speaker, because Crisp bad
served in the confederate army. The
statement, If true. would lose the
south to Bryan. The editor of the
denial of the same, and the free silver
apostle in replying begs the question
by saying when Crisp became the
caucus nominee, he voted for him.
Now watch the southern democratic
press paw the ground. The San An
tonic Express starts in mildly by say
Ing: Hon. w. J. Bryan has advised
Mr.. r. M. Johnston of the Houston
Post that he voted for Mr.. Crisp for
speaker of the lower house of the Fiji
ty-second congress after Crisp became
the caucus nominee. This, however,
does not answer the charge that Bryan
refused to vote for Crisp before the
caucus nomination and for the specific
reason alleged. In quoting the state
ment made to New York correspon-
dent by some of the friends of Mr.. Van
Wyck at Saratoga, the Express said
it would be difficult for Mr.. Bryan's
trends in the south to believe him
guilty of such narrow prejudice as to

HORSE AND AUTOMOBILE
Fine Saddle And Carriage Horses
Will Be In Demand.

In his article on THE Present and
the Future of the Horse" in the Aug
ust Review of Reviews, John Gilmer
Speed takes into full account the tend
ency of the age to substitute automatic
vehicles for the horse-drawn kind, but
offers "a word Off comfort, never
theless, to breeders and lovers of man 3
most faithful servant. He calls att,n-
ZION to the faet that to-day the price OF
any horse Tor which there is a demand
and there is a demand for horses OF
superior excellent-is as great as 1t has
been at any time for twenty years. Inc
fine saddle or carriage horse will al
ways be fashionable, and it will be
more and more a luxury as the means
of conveyance are cheapened, for par
sons of wealth and fashion are apt to
shun that which Is common and popu-
lar and as economy brings the automo-
bile into general use, the ownership OF
carriage and pair or q coach and
FOUR will be even more of distinction
than it is now. So argues Mr.. Speed
at least, and there is reason in his con-
tent1On,
of advice to breeders. It costs no more
to raise and break fine colt than a
poor one. Some breeders will tell you
tn at the cost is even less. Quality is
what counts now and will count more
and more hereafter.
"When in this aspect of the. subject 1
look to the future 1 cannot fail to be
full of hopefulness - writes Mr.. Speed.
"The demand for our horses from
abroad Is growing steadily. 1t has not
reached large proportions as yet, but
there are foreign buyers at all of our
sales and the excellence of our careful
ly bred horses for cavalry purposes is
highly appreciated by those foreign
officers acquainted with them. Our
home market for really good horses
will grow with our population and our
wealth; the demand from abroad will
increase with the knowledge that we
are breeding the best all-around- good
for-any -kind-of-thing horses in all the
world.
So much for the horse and his advo-
cate. Turn we next to McClure's and
see what Ray Standard Baker says of
t'The Automobile Up to Date" Be-
tween Jan. 1 ar d May 1 of this year
companies with an aggregate capital
ization of more than $685., 200, 900 have
been organized in this country for the
and 200 types of the machine are being
made. The total value of horsefesh
in the United States this year is estim-
ated at S511 ,O74 ,S13, or about 35 per
cent in excess of the capitalization of
the factories for the manufacture of
automobiles. Add the increasing out
put of the factories and we find the
horse destined to be distanced at once
in money represented.
The coast of good electric carriage
for family use is about 1000, but call

vantage of the horse. His figures are

The figures given for other cities in
