Funeral Pyres Are Bsazsng Throushoat
Galveston, the Bodies Being first SAT-
urated with Coal OIL.

Galveston, Tex, Sept 21.-Yester-
day evening Mayor Jones proclaimed
that martial law would cease at noon
to-day and the civil authorities
would assume direction of municipal
affairs. Labor in Galveston is at a
premium. There is not an idle man
in the city. It is imperative that the
wFeckage about the city be cleared
Immediately. The stencil arising
from the bodies beneath the ruins is
becoming unbearable. Yesterday
warrants were issued to impress every
a5ole-bodied man for street cleaning
service. The work of removing the
dead from the debris still continues.
The prevailing method of disposition
is cremation and as each corpse is
taken out it is thoroughly saturated
with coal oil and thrown into blaz-
ing fire. This plan of incineration
has been entirely successful and the
bodies are quickly destroyed. Funeral
pyres are blazing throughout the
city and in this way Galveston is rid
ding herself of the dead.

HANNA ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Mark Hanna was interviewed by
woman reporter on the subject of wo-
men in politics. Here are some of the
things he said:
Politics is not woman's sphere.
All women, at least, are not fitted for
such a sphere.
If women haven't any husbands and
babies they should have.
II they choose politics in preference
that is proof sufficient that their judg-
ment is not sound enough to run a gov
eminent.
If women, to whom the greater scope
and the grander privileges have been
given are going to waste their oppor.
tunities over inferior work for which
they are untitled, not only will they fail
IN the grosser undertaking, but they will
spoil the delicate mental and spiritual
and ethical mechanism which was in
tended to weave greater victories than
those won in ward caucuses and polit-
Zeal campaigns,
If woman got down to the level of
ward politicians. as she would have to,
that would be the finish of her influence.
The strength of a country depends
upon its homes. Women can't do more
than one thing well at time, any more
than men can.
You can't make homes and rear chill
dren and run a government.

A VERY SMALL POINT.

TFrom the Pittsburg Dispateh.1
Ex-senator David B. Hill's earnest
effort to secure from the Kansas City
convention a declaration only for BIZ
metallism without specifying any ratio
S. an illustration OF readiness to swal-
low a very large dose If a very small
saving point is granted.
Apart from the limited binding force
of political platforms, 1t makes little
difference whether the plain Is to 1 pro-
position is repeated or omitted. Mr.. Bry-
an stands for that impracticable notion
as clearly as any platform. In his ear
iier career he had some force as an anti
tariff and antitrust speaker in con-
Eress But his entrance into national
politics was solely as a free silver man,
and he retains that character up to the
present day. If he should disavow his
position on free silver he would be set
down as insincere, and it is at least to
the credit Of his manliness that he re-
fuses TO attempt any such disingenuous-
ness.
Senator Hill entirely overestimates
the Importance of leaving the 16 to
proposition out of the Democratic plat
form. Any man who cannot accept that
Idea cannot accept Bryan, and the man
who can swallow Bryan need not en-
large the gulp to take down free silver
