Mr.. Bailey's practical walk-over for the
Texas senatorship in succession to SEN
ator Chiffon, may considerably influence
the poItlcal prestige of ex-Gov. Hogg. Mr.
bailey is not Hogg man, while Senator
Chiffon is. Having carried his point and
won the senatorship, it is natural to sup
pose that Mr.. Bailey will see to ii that
Hogg is turned out to grass, politically.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
at appears that within two years the
price of coal in Europe has nearly dou-
bled, TO the serious menace of many in
dustrial interests Yet although coal is an
important material both in the construc-
ton and in the operation of steamships,
the subsidy mongers are pleading for an
enormous bounty of 100000 for ships in
a country where coal is cheaper and more
abundant than anywhere in the world.
If the wages of American seamen be
higher than the wages of foreigners the
cheapness of American coal will more
than make up for the difference"
The Columbia g. CO State Dem) says:
I'VE have carefully read 3S pages of cor
respondence and interviews between rep
resentatives of the Southern Railway and
the Order of Railway Telegraphers. and
cur judgment is that the former make
much the better showing for their course
On the record as made up there was no
necessity for this strike, the operators
being offered by the management of the
Southern the same consideration and the
same privileges Of organization and repre-
sentation by delegates as the engineers
and conductors have, and which suffices
these employees"
Inc new 1ork Oohhmercldl NlHuJ says
There was a time when the South was
accused of a lack Of energy. Just now
there is great danger OF an excess of ener-
gy in that section. For example, not sat
ished with manufacturing its own cotton.
the South threatens to make its own cot
ton machinery. And not only Is II utter
ing this threat. but II has actually put II
into execution to the extent OF organizing
companies 20 manufacture machinery on
a large scale The East is therefore dis
posed TO warn the South against dis
play Of excessive energy"
The Birmingham Age-Herald CDemJ
says: MI Mckinley ana Congress are
violating the nrst principles OF Republl-
can government when they take money
out Of the pockets OF the Porto Rico peo-
pie Without their consent"

The asphalt paving Of Bull street Is in
a state Of disrepair possibly the worst in
its existence. Not only ara there holes in
the pavement from the wear Of traffic.
but other holes have been cut out by re-
pair gangs and left open for weeks. pos
sibly to suit the convenience of the con-
tractors. The unsightly condition of Bull
street at present is a very strong argu-
ment against future asphalt paving. and
in favor of compelling the company. whose
duty it is to keep the asphalt pavement
in repair, to comply with its contract.
The street railways of Hartford, Conn,
have taken step which the public, and
especially the patrons of schools, will
appreciate. Books of forty tickeJs to be
used by school children only. are sold
for 81, or half the regular fare. The
tickets are good only from m. to 5
p. m. thus limiting them TO the use for
which they are intended 1t is believed
that this llberality TO the school children

An Ancient Coin.

One of the prized curios of the Phil adelphia mint is a coin which is 2.OOO years old, and which was coined at the ancient mint of that other Philadelphia of the far east mentioned in the Bible. It is still in good condition, and the inscription is perfectly legible. The design on the face of the coin bears striking resemblance to the Goddess of Liberty of our own currency, and underneath is the one word "Demus," which means the people" On the other side is the figure of Diana, with her bow arched, and the inscription, Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians.

FISHING WITH STONES.

 Capturing Salmon.
 It is astonishing what tiny brook: large salmon will ascend in obedience i to the instinct which teaches them tc seek 9 nursery where their young will be comparatively secure from the at Jacks of their numerous enemies. In enc small pool of a little burn in the highlands, half a dozen yards long and but a few feet broad. l have seen, rather late ia the year. eight or ten salmon, some of which must have weighed between twenty and thirty pounds. They ascend these small streams during food-time, and it ire quentiy happens that they are caught on faalng water, and unable to escape from their confined quarters until the rivers are again in spate, it may be not for many weeks. Tn such circumstances they are accessible to the devices Of poachers, and although as rule the Scottish rivers are eff eiently guarded during the breeding time, they are of course raided oeca- slonally. and large numbers of grayfish secured. A common method is to se- leet long holding" pool where sal mon are known to be plentiful, and where the water is moderately deep at the sides. At such a place the poach- CTS, their faces blackened, and per haps a dozen or so in number. time their arrival an hour or two before dawn and stone the pool vigorously until there is light enough for the next stage of the proceedings. Frightened and confused by the constant splash Ing of the water and the descent of big stones all around them, the salmon seek refuge by the banks, where in the meantime the poachers are careful to leave them undisturbed. When daylight appears the men creep eau- tiously upstream along the banks armed with long-handled gaffs, where With to snatch the salmon, which lie quietly as though dazed in three or four feet of water. A cartload cf heavy fish is sometimes secured dur ing one of these matutinal forays.- London Telegraph.
