Terrell, Texas. October THE fe-
male annex building at the asylum in
this city was condemned by the asy-
lum board yesterday, and will be va
Gated as soon as possible. For some
time the foundation of the building
has been spreading and 1t had already
been condemned by committee from
the State legislature. The asylum au-
thorlties asked the legislature for an
appropriation to repair the building,
but it was denied by that body, and the
only thing left to do is To yacate it.
The inmates of the infirmary will be
placed in the wards of the main build
ing. This will reduce the capacity of
that building considerably, and as a
result many new patients will be re-
fused admission in the institution on
account of lack of ROOM which, in the
absence of an appropriation for the
needed repairs. cannot be furnished.

the GAME or GRAB m CHINA.

After the close of the negotiations between the
powers and the Chinese Government In respect To
the indemnity China should pay, 1t was discovered
that the demands OF the allies amounted to less than
the sum the Imperial Government pledged itself to
assume. A considerable surplus remained and sew
eral of the powers put in claims for additional in
demnity among them being Japan, which was clear
ly entitled, it was believed, to larger indemnity.
Fhereupon the Of The powers al Peki
began of their periodical squabbles which ter
minated in the usual deadlock. In order TO exped-
ite a settlement Jap,n has Withdrawn her claim
Whether the other powers will follow the ex-
ample of the Japanese Government remains. 10 be
seen As a matter of ordinary decency China should
be relieved OF the necessity Of paying any in
cess of the indemnity originally demanded. Some of
the little powers which played an unmportant part
in the military operations against the Chinese seem
determined to extort money from China, and as they
have the assistance of more powerful governments
they have been Unexpectedly lucky in the game OF
grab in the Orient The latest dispatches from Pekin
state that the method of collecting the indemnity has
set the powers by the Great Britain will not
approve any proposition to increase customs duties
to extent which threatens to inure British trade
On the other hand Saturdays Washington dispatches
assert that the Government of the United States has
instructed the American Commissioners at Pekin 10
give the assent of this Government to an increase of
customs duties to provide funds for the payment Of
the indemnity. From this 1t would appear that our
Government has undergone change of heart Not
long ago it gravely concerned about the "impos
tion of additional burdens on American trade" Nav

WANTEO-A TlLDEN.

What the Democratic party and the country
need than anything else in the world is anoth-
Samuel Jones indianapolis Sentinel
This brief, but complete editorial in the leading
Democratic newspaper of the middle West, not only
reveals condition but makes suggestion.
The Democratic party needs a Tildena leader.
1t needs who by ability, courage and prudence
unite all Democrats. There are more Demo-
Gratis than Republicans in the United States, and
Democratic unity is all that is required to elect a
Democratic President.
But we fear our Indianapolis contemporary is
shooting too high Tdens doehot sprout every year
if couple of them appear in a century, the century
is unusually rich. Samuel j. Tiden was the most
States produced since jefferson He was great
Democrat and great patriot He elected
President of the United States but sacrificed the of
hce rather than the risk of disturbing the peace
OF the country.
Would that we had another Tilden now: but we
cannot recall anyone that likens unto him. Hill is
crafty but tricky and cannot be trusted He voted
against the Democratic tariff bill in 1894 and is OPP
posed to income tax He won't do Olney is a
big man and would be true to the platform.
DeArmond of Missouri would make great-an in
tellectually great-and honest President
Perhaps taking them all in ALL the strongest,
the bravest the purest and truest Democrat now in
sight, the who nearest to the Tilden IDEAL
is Tom L. Johnson of Ohio.
No man who bolted, or gave a half hearted sup
port to the tickets of 1896 or 1900 must be regarded

The brazen announcement that the editor Of the

nouncement The Star is no longer a "ioint:" il
Carrie Nation should come here che would not hear
conscientious call to smash it. Law is not violated
by the Star. visiby and publicly, any more. Reli-
gion and morals not outraged. The devil is not
shaking his tail and dancing In very gee, because
our dearly beloved Hughes, one of the earthly an
gels of tho Lord. had fallen.
So we rejoice that Hughes had strength enough
to cast out the devils that beset him Again he re-
sumes his place among the pious people of the earth
and has right il he feels disposed, to lecture his
neighbors.
But we warn our dearly and we'll beloved bro
ther Hughes to be careful He'll sends out its mis-
sonaries regularly The world is full of devils big
and little and they always trying to get in their
work on such shining lights of religion and morality
as the editor of the Star. Brother Hughes must
watch these DEVILS: sometimes they will approach
him in the guise OF piano agents, bicycle agents.
pneumatic tire buggy agents. sewing machine agents
and so forth. They will try and convince him that
is good to be of the earth carthy but he must be
bold and brave and defy them: he must tell them
that he loves his God and he hates his devil and
that these imps of Satan cannot influence him with
the jingle of gold d
The angels are laughing today and the devils
have gone on drunk because Hughes reformed
But We warn Hughes that he must be careful: the
devils don't give up their prey without struggles
and The Citizen, well we love him. may not at ell
times feel disposed to watch and guard him, and
help him drive OIL the imps when they have eur
rounded him. Brother Hughes must make su-
preme effort to help himself He should pray at

VINO IS THE pESSlMlST?

1t has always been customary for certain class
OF people to deride pessimstc any expression de-
rogatory OF the existing order of things The man
who penetrates the hidden meaning of a movement
that re!rogression and cries out against its
advance is denounced possimist by those who
expect to profit by the continuation of the condition
to which objection is made Hence it is not at all
surprising that the person who deprecaes the trust
movement and the imperiastic plot should be con-
demned for indulging in needless pessmism Are
the Democrats the pessimists of today? True enough
we assert that the elimination of the trust move
ment must necessarily be putocracy; that tha re-
nunciation OF the principles of the Declaration of
Independence necessarily implies ultimate empire
and that the suspension OF the constitution carried
to its logical conclusion must end in the triumph of
the arbitrary principle We hold that comparative
equality is superior to plutocracy that republic is
more desirable than an empire, and that govern
mont of constitutional limitations is more Just and
reasonable than one of arbitrary rule And we like
wise believe that the people, when familiar with the
hidden meaning of the present movement will put a
sudden period TO 1t.
Are We pessimists? We believe in the political
equality of man, and in the principles of a demo-
cracy We believe that nature has endowed the
common man with sense sufficient with which to rule
himself
Now what of the Republicans? Admitting the
undeniable beauty of the Democratic conception,
they declare with pessimistic shrug that human
nature is not equal to the theory They deny the
political equality OF man with sneering pessim
istic reference to 'poetical sentlmentality" They
scorn the political capacity of the common people as
the day dream Of some irresponsible optimist They
take apessimistic view of all the great fundamental
principles Of the republic They offer no resistance

ARIZONA suffers from many things, at different
seasons but the Territory suffers from the acute and
incorrigble liar at all times. The people who send
reports of alleged Arizona happenings to outside
papers ought to be scourged into truth driven out

Tucson correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald.
His lies are for only, invariably brutal,
