Close examination of leading lines of
industry fails to show marked unfavor-

trade In seasonable goods has been and
is being affected by phenomenally mild
winter weather, but wherever spring

been developed it has been in such vol

readiness of acceptance of advanced
prices as TO point to undiminished con-

JOSEPHINE FRITZ,
Convicted in Union County, Re-
leased from Prison on Parole.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 10.-The
State Prison Commissioners this
morning granted a.parole to jose
phine Fritz, of Union county, who
was serving life sentence in the
peHitentiary for murder. The pa
role recalls notable case. The
woman was convicted in April,
1885, of completely with Moses
Cation in the murder of Cations
wife. Cation was hanged for the
crime. The evidence against the
woman was circumstantial and her
parole was asked for by the trial
judge, the attorneys and many
prominent people of the county
of Union.
The Commissioners also paroled
Frank Brooks, of Lincoln county,
who was sent up in February, '97,
for twenty-one years for man.

The Future of a a Ruined City.

The flood that swept down on Johns
town, Pennsylvania on a May night of
1889 left desolation in it's wake but not
Encouragement. fThe Johnstown that
was submerged was city of twenty one
thousand inhabitants. The new Johns
town counts more than thirty five thou
sand.
OtheE5 of our cities have been tempo
rarily overthrow by other agencies.
Portland In 1866, Chicago in 1871, Bos-
ton in 1872 were reduced almost to ash
g.. But the man who had made them
survived, and new cities have arizen, lar
ger, fairer and more substantial than the
old.
There is a reason for every one of these
places. They are natural :centers of
trade; hence the forces of industry, of
commerce and finance united, more or
less consciously, to sustain the brave.
hearted citizens who rebuilt them. Gal
weston has equal claim to exist, and she
will be aided in the same way.
The real test of wisdom, unselfishness
and courageous enterprise comes when
rebuilding begins. The temptation is to
do things hastily, in a slipshod way, in
order the sooner to resume the Interrupt
ted money making. Now is the time to
consider the future and correct the mis-
takes of the past,
If there is any method of strengthen
ing the city's defence against war it
it.should be adopted. Streets should be
Strengthened and widened. Fire limits
should be fixed, and it should be under
stood that wooden buildings erected in
the business district are to be removed
as soon as they have served the Temporal
ry need. Sanitary arrangements, sewers
and pavements should be planned in a
large way, looking toward the greater
Galveston.
On the morrow of a calamity these
sound like exorbitant demands. But
other "ruined cities have substantially
met them, and only by smeeting them
and only by meeting them may com
munity hope to find "the soul of good
in things evil" We believe that Calves
ton will follow bravely where her four
sisters led the way.

In Memory.

OF little Mable, daughter of P.
]. and Ada Massey, born April 8,
1899, and died Oct. l, 1900. She
had been sick but a few days when
God called her home where suffer
ing is no more.
Little Mabel's stay on earth was
short. She was like tender little
flower, bloomed in the summer but
dropped her pretty little head and
faded ere the cruel winter came.
We know it is sad to see those
bright little eyes no more, and to
know that her baby voice is hush
ed forever; but weep not, dear pa
rents, for like many others yoe
now have a gdarling little angel
waiting and watching for you; we
should be willing to submit to the
dear Saviour's will; so weep no
more dear father and mother, lit
tile brother and sister, for your
loss is her gain. She can never
come back but you can go to her.
So live and do your duty and some
sweet day you will meet your dar-
ling little babe where parting is no
more.
Sleep on, little Mable,
And take thy rest.
God called thee home,
He thought it best.

THORNY ROAD
For Republicans If They Contest
Byan's Vote in Kentucky.

OulChBO, NON' L. n w doulllS-
ton telegram to the Chicago Tri-
bune says:
Kentucky Republicans will have
a thorny road to travel if they in
tend to contest the electoral vote
of the State. To do this will
necessitato the reopening of the
Taylor-G oebel controversy from
the beginning.
There really is no such thing as
an Electoral College, although the
phrase is a common one. The
electors meet only by States. The
result of their vote is certified to
in triplicate, and sent to Wash
ing by mail and messenger. These
votes are canvassed by the Presi-
dent of the Senate in the presence
of both houses of Congress. When
the certificate of the vote of the
electors is read objections may be
made in writing, signed by at least
one Senator and Representative.
Neither house of Congress has
authority to reject electoral votes
given by electors who are certified
to by the proper State authorities
The only valid ground of objection
is where there are two sets of re-
turns, each purporting to come
from electors who are certified by
State authorities.
1t will be absolutely necessary
therefore, for the Kentucky Re
publican electors to meet together
and send their ballot, with certi
ficate from the Governor and Sec
rotary of State. They might ge
such a certificate from former
Gov. Taylor, but as he is not IL
Kentucky, and is not likely to 60
there it is not probable his sigma
ture would be considered.
Furthermore, the law of 1888
which was passed to put an end tC
contests like the Hayes-Tilder
affair, apparently sustains the
legality of the present State Gov
ornment in Kentucky in every
possible way. AS Beckham has
been sustained by the State ano
Federal judiciary, the title of the
Democratic electors can not be
attacked here in Washington.
Section 2 of the law of 1888 is
so conclusively against a contest
it is worth quoting now to avoid
controversy, 1t says:
"Sec. 2. That if any State shall
have provided, by laws enacted
prior to the day fixed for the APP
pointment of the electors, for its
final determination of any contro-
versy of contest concerning the
appointment of all or any of the
electors of such State, by judicial
or other methods of procedures,
and such determination shall have
been made at least six days before
the time fixed for the meeting of
the electors, such determination
made pursuant to such law SO ex-
listing on said day, and made at
least six days prior to the said
time of meeting of the electors,
shall be conclusive, and shall gov
ern in the counting of the electo-
raj votes as provided in the Con-
stitution, and as hereinafter regu-
lated, so far as the ascertainment
of the electors appointed by such
State is concerned"
From this it seems evident thai
if the Democratic electors of Ken.
lucky, fortified as to their owl
election with certificates of theil
own election, shall assume to cas-
their votes for Bryan, they will bC
30 counted, according to law.
