WHAT II DOES or DOES NOT MEAN.

The Independent" Galveston News suppresses its
well known aversion to talking politics in order to
Get in the following;
The main thing now with the representatives of the PRO
tected industries IS 10 convince Mr.. Roosevelt
republican eonsressmen that tne late elections mean that
he unreasonable Roosevelt and the congressman men
.tuGd snona aEe ihe fleGonS TO mean merely that the
government IN dealing with the insul9r possessions and
during the campaign.
If. as the News never tires of repeating the people
are satisfied with the way the financial question has
been disposed of by the republican party are not the
representatives of the protected industries justified in
claiming that the late elections mean that they are
satisfied with republican tariff laws as Well
With regard to the financial question tho News Is
sure that republican at the polls in 1896 and
since due TO the fact that the republican party is
committed to the characterization OF silver Yet the
News now doubts chat what insists upon treating as
another republican indicates satisfaction with
the republican high tariff policy
The reasoning OF the News is faulty for if the late
elections show anything at all of the popular feeling
with regard to the tariff laws is that it is strong for
tariff reform In advance of those elections the tariff
discussed the News to the contrary notwithgand
ing. Congressman Babcock brought the issue to the
front by proposing certain changes in existing customs
regulations, and the late President Mckinley in
memorable speech delivered Buffalo the day before
he fell victim of the assassin Czogosz indicated that
the time had come for change of attitude in the mat
ter of protection. Noticing the approval with which
Babcocks suggestions and McKinleys professions We're
received the republican managers did nothing TO dis
abuse the minds of the who tool, up the idea
that tariff reform about TO become a republican
issue thus saving great many votes for their ticket
The elections over, however, the influences domi-
mating the republican party asserted themselves ana
it was made plain that change in the tariff
laws would be tolerated long as the republicans
remained in power. So that the News is wasting time
in specializing on what Roosevelt will take those cleo.
tons to mean.

Northern Securities company and the United States

The problem before the American people Of the

OF course, far preventing waste the introduction

But they do stop there. Human nature being what
it is the at the head of the trusts are peculiarly
liable from their positions to be overcome by the pas

! So far it has been the uniform experience with

the laborer. How to keep the from preying

The roaRENs SYSTEM OF LAND TITLES.

The Torrens land registration system which as that
other great reform of recent years the silent and
cret ballot originated in Australia has been 80
far adopted by four of States of the Union There
is doubt that its advantages become
known it will he adopted in other States
The Torrens system provides first that the title of
every piece of property the where it is adopted
be ascertained and the status of ownership be
fixed second. that from the date of this fixing of the
title it begins and litigation attacking the title
for preceding he brought; third that the
title be kent posted up to date that it can be ex-
amiued and understood at glance, a bankers de.

Tho preliminary fixing Of the title is done by a
court board All persons Interested in the prop
erty the title Of which is to be fixed parties
advertisement is inserted in the newspaper that
publishes the legal advertisements for the county The
finding Of the court board is 10 he conclusive and
certificate of title s issued to the owner The certa.
Gates TO be taken from book of registry and on
the stub Of each certificate is to hc recorded the name
OF the owner and all future transfers, mortgages liens
judgments affecting the title Thus the exact condition
of every tito can he told at q glance.
The system prevailing IN most of the States is
vastly more comphcatt.i than this. 1t takes a lawyer
to- examine title and even the most skillfu lawyer in
many cases not he absolutely certain An old
Boston conyeyaucer rightly remarked that perfect
titles were ms plentiful perfect men,
The advantage TO a state OF a simple and sure sys

nothing that frgbteus away investors like controyor-

THE DAUGHTER OF HAO SHEN

THE DAUGHTER OF HAO SIEN
When lifes outlines grow sharp and hard
And Fancys fights seem crushed and barred
Beneath the upper and neither stones
OF proper things which the world condones
And when long till my hcartstrngs shrek.
For hours reprieve, it Is then seek
The strange, grotesque and smelly den
OF the sire Of little Hao Shen,
Who softly plays sam-i-ssn.
She sits enshrined midst fms of shark,
And dried brdness And pirate barks
On the \ elbow Sea have fought and sunk
Full many treasure laden junk,
That the spoil may wend through ways Of trade
The costly mats and the gems Of jade
To the strange, grotesque and smelly den
Where smokeh the sire of Hao Shen.
Who picks the strings OF a sam-i-seu.
The CITY rush seems strangely stled
BY distance vast-the smell distilled
BY -enscng root and musty bales,
Noos afar where the sails
OF pirate jurSs in swift pursuit
O'artake their prey for the precious loot
That stocks the strange and smelly den,
Where seepeth the sire OF Hao Shen,
Who plays to sam-i-sen.
Aye sleep at last he sleeps and well
And softly the notes OF the music swell
With a cadence new y.l seem to stand
A painted picture, and hold the hand
OF a painted maiden with cheeks white
And red red lips and whose eyes of night
Are much ike those in the smelly den
Those Of the daughter of Hao Shen
Who softly strums a sam-l-sen.
Now loud the notes, now sobbing low
With all that the maiden would have know
That the bird OF the East would love 70 nest
Close close to the heart in a Western breast.
Al would were but picture man!
Forever TO knee a acquered fan
To the little maid in the smelly den
The little daughter of Hao Shen,
Who plays with love on sam--sen
