HANNA'S BILL ENDORSED.
R. E. Lee Camp of Confederates of
Fort Worth Adopt Resolutions.

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. SAT
the regular meeting today of R. E.
Lee Camp, United Confederate
Veterans, a resolution endorsing in
part Senator Hanna's bill to pen
sion old ex-slaves was introduced
by State Historian C. c. Cummings
and passed by an almost unani-
nous vote. There was objection on
the ground that the resolution
might be construed as political.
The resolution urges that all Texas
Representatives in Congress sup
port the Hanna measure to the
extent of rewarding all ex-slaves
who remained at home within the
ages set forth in the bill or those
who went with their masters in the
war, but that those be excepted who
were enlisted in the United States
volunteer service and are already
on the pension list.

MExIco's MONEY PROBLEM.
Commission VIII Make Complete
Study and Try to Solve It,

Mexico City, Feb. -Greatinter-
est is taken here in the action Of
the American Government in behalf
of silver, and President Roosevelt's
ready willingness to aid in the
solution Of a problem Of such vital
importance to this country is Great
ing an excellent feeling. The atti-
tude Of the American Government
is considered most friendly.
The monetary eomission TO study
the silver question here is local
measure which attracts favorable
attention. Not for many years has
so important and representative
body of banking, industrial and
commercial experts been convoked,
and it is believed 10 augur much
much good in bringing about
better popular understanding here
Of the underlying difficulties at
tending the settlement of this COM
plicated matter. The Government
has won praise by its iudicious ac-
ton, for now it is seen that it pro-
poses to act only on advice from
the most representative men.
In all lines Of national activity,
all intelligent persons here desire
to bring about an adjustment, that,
while giving stability to the silver
peso will still be favorable to con-
tinued investment Of foreign capital.
One of the questions of greatest
present interest and one which the
commission will investigate is the
present quantity Of silver money in
the country. Notwithstanding the
fact that many new banks have
come into existence, it is pointed
out by Finance Minister Limantour
that it is still the custom in many
parts OF the country among mer-
chants and wealthy private persons
to keep large amounts of coined
silver in private safes. An effort
will be made to ascertain scientif-
cally the amount of currency, both
metallic and paper, which the coun-
try requires for its business, this
being an important fact having
bearing on the settlement of the
monetary question for Mexico. The
commission will also inquire into
the amount of money spent abroad
by wealthy Mexicans living in
foreign countries and generally will
endeavor to accumulate ample and
complete statistics bearing on every
phase of the silver question as af-
fecting Mexican people locally and
in their foreign trade.
Francisco Iturri, who died in
France, was one Of the greatest
landlords here, being known as ''the
Aston Of Mexico City" He had
resided in France for nearly
quarter OF century. He leaves an
estate valued at something like
$15,00O,O00, and had city property,
hotels, Mines haciendas, etc.

CONTEMPLATING IN A JAIL.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 The revelations made this morning in the eastern penitentiary will surprise no one familiar with It's management, or who knew how completely the "board of inspectors7 was in the hands of the warden whom it appointed. He stayed. The board changed It's members were most respectable, and. as the result has shown most inefficient. They have been for years led about by their wardens and have only just found 1t out.
 A prison in which counterfeiting can go on with the profit and connivance of keepers lacks many things needed in a penal institution. The system is at fault It is antiquated. It has made the eastern pententiary the laughing stock of equip ped penalogists the country over. Its management has been belstered by pre- cedent and protected by custom.
 But a state prison within whose walls dies can be made to counterfeit money reads it's own condemnation in the re- cord. Men in charge of criminals who cannot prevent crime in their own in- stitution may be respectable and we'll meaning but they have plainly botched their job change is needed, not of men, but of the penal system of the state. Why go on with scandal, fraud, crime and exposure in the eastern peni- tentiary?

Race Issue in Maryland.

Arthur Pue German wrote, it is free ly stated, the platform adopted on Thursday by the democratic state con vention of Maryland. It presents the race issue as follows:
 The good government which we are now enjoying under democratic administration cannot possibly be made better by the republican party; but. on the contrary dependent for it's existence as that party in this state is upon it's solid negro vote, it is manifest that the defeat of our ticket at the coming election will bring back upon us the evils and dangers from which our triumph in 1899 so fortunately deiv- cred us.
 We believe that the political destines of Maryland should be shaped and con trolled by the white people of the state, and while we disclaim any purpose to do any injus tice whatever to our colored population we declare without reserve our resolute purpose to preserve in every con- servative and constitutional way the po- litical ascendency of our race.
 The continuance in power of the demo- cratic party will result in such amend ments to our present excellent election law, which has done so much to lessen the evils of bribery, to assure the secrecy of the ballot and to promote intelligent voting as experience has shown may be necessary to preserve the purity of our | elections, without which good government Is impossible.
 The supremacy of the white race is herein distinctly asserted, and Ar thur Pue German has never attempted to hide or ignore the issue. It is mistake to say that this issue is un- prejudice is very strong in these states and the Maryland plank will be warm ly endorsed there. MT. Germans candidacy in 19J4 meets Crumpacker- ism boldly. After the election of next yaar Crumpacker and his back CTS will become very aggressive. They will beyond doubt attempt to reduce southern representation alike in con gross and in the electoral college. MT. German meets their plans courageous ly, and if he is sustained by his party and the country he will put all the Crumpackers of the country in their little graves.

MCCLELLAN MAKES ANSWER.
Shows That Qualified Martial Law
 Was Declared.

Cripple Greek, September 1s.-Acting Advocate General MeClelland today made answer in the district court to the writs of habeas corpus issued by Judge Seeds in the case of c. H. Mckinney and three other strike leaders who have been held as prisoners in the military guard house for more than a week. Brigadier General John Chase in his reply through counsel assumed responsibility for the military arrests
 The answer filed in behalf of General Chase was largely based upon the recent decision of the Supreme court of Penii- sylvapia in a case growing out of the anthracite coal strike of last year and known as the Wadsworth case private in the national guard named Wadsworth. acting under orders from his superior officer, shot a striker. He was prosecuted in the Criminal courts for murder and the case was appealed to the Supreme court, which a few months ago. exonerated him from the responsibility of the killing. The court held that the order ordering the troops out to the strike district where disorder prevailed was a declaration of qualified martial law

WOMEN IN THE SADDLE.

From the Boston Herald.
 The custom for women riders to sit astride the horse in the ordinary mems saddle has become so well established that it bids fair entirely to supersede the time-honored side-sadde habit. It is a welcome change. The divided skirts worn by those who ride in the new fash ion look thoroughly feminine and thus prevent all suggestion of eccentricity or outlandishness that so often handicaps new method. The custom adds new charm to one of the best forms of out door exercise. A good-looking young lady gains in attractiveness when she rides In this way. Firmly seated, she rides as II she belonged in her place. The side-sad- dle practice has little to recommend It except its sanction by ancient custom A woman riding that way, attractive though her general appearance may be, has an insecure and even uncomfortable look that makes the method seem artih- cial. Health, grace, and beauty all turn the balance in favor of the innovation.

Medical Students.

Medical students as a rule learn to look upon cadavers and human bodies in various stages of dissection very lightly after they have spent q few weeks in the dissecting room," said a recent grad uate of one of the northern university medical schools.
 They learn to put aside all sentiment and not to speculate on what the bodies they work over represented during life. They do not consider the possibility that the subject of their physiological re- searches may have once been the loved one of somebody. They become so hard ened that they can cut away the flesh with as little feeling as though they were whiting a pine stick.
 One of the greatest shocks l have ever had in my l;fe, however, was receiv ed on one of the first days l entered the dissectlng room. There was a fine young fellow in our class who had just started in and of whom we all thought great deal. He entered the room on this par ticular morning trying to put on a bold front just like the rest of us We ad. vanced to our work and the body upon which our squad was to work was cov- cred with a sheet as is customary.
 A class had been working on the cadaver the day before. so that 1t was somewhat mutilated. It fell to the lot of our young friend who was nearest to remove the sheet As he did so he gave an agonized cry. It was the body Of his sister. She had strayed away from home a few years before and they had not heard of her since.
 "Of course we all sympathized with him and tried to console him as best we could, but the poor boy left school taking the body with him and never re- turned"

Law or lynchinu.

If Representative Lusk would add an amendment to his Circuit court bill authorizing the chief executive of the state to summon special terms in fragrant cases, he would add much to the glory and honor of the state. Law and order are superior to anarchy here as well as elsewhere A writer in the New Orleans Picayune says:
 There is not very far from our shores an English colony called Jamaica. The negroes outnumber the whites in that colony far more than they outnumber the whites in any section of this country. And yet assault on white women in that colo ny by negroes is absolutely unknown. It is unknown because the negro in Jamaica knows that in an English colony the law is supreme, and that he will be inevitably pursued and punished for his crime. We of the south have tried lynching and the island of Jamaica has tried the reign of law. and the record Is there for any one to read who desires to be informed.
 If the legislature refuses to adopt Governor Jelk's recommendation on this subject, 1t will simply say that it prefers lynching to law. mob rule to orderly administration, disorganiza- tion among boys and young men to the salutary restraints of society.
 It is idle to say that lynching is more effective than law. The story of Jamaica shows the contrary and the story of Alabama under Governor Jelks speaks in a like strain. There are fewer criminal assaults as the law becomes speedier and more eff cient. All that is needed now is the power in the governor to call a spe- cial term, and lynching will have lost it's last excuse, and it will quickly dis appear in this state.
 Can the legislature afford to disre- gard Governor Jelks' recommenda- tion? Can it find single reason why it should do so? Is it ready, in other words, to promote and endorse lynch ing?

ALL WIND AND WATER.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 It appears that forty-five of the cor porations made in New Jersey have been placed in the hands of receivers since the first of the year, that their liabilities are fourteen times as great as their assets and that the stockholders in a majority of them are not likely to get anything worth mentioning out of their invest ment.
 There Is nothing to surprise one in this showing but It comes as a quick and in- teresting confirmation of the suspicious that were aroused when the new ventures in fancy financiering were begun. Such of the enterprises as were undertaken in good faith have been trying the imposs- ble feat of creating something out of nothing, and have failed as matter of course. Others have been essentially of a swindling nature all through. It is sometimes difficult to mark the place where honesty ceases and fraud begins, but most promoting schemes proceed up- on false principle. They draw at a ter rife rate upon the future. The imagina- ton runs riot until all thought of the eternal verities is lost and habitual lying superVenes.

Fourth-CIass Postmasters.

The classified service is a matter, not of statutes, but of executive or ders, and the order of President Roosevelt which went into effect April 15, 1903, contains this clause:
 The classified service shall include all officers and employees in the executive civil service of the United States, hereto fore and hereafter appointed or employed, in positions now existing or hereafter to be created, of whatever function or desig- nation, whether compensated by a fixed salary or otherwise, except persons em- ployed merely as laborers and persons whose appointments are subject to con- firmation by the senate'
 This order Is definite to a limit. It excepts only laborers, and nominees who must be confirmed by the senate. The latter clause docs not fit fourth class postmasters, and it follows that if such postmasters are not labor ers," they are as matter of course included in the classified service
 Postmaster General Payne holds to the contrary. but MT. Payne is neither a lawyer nor an impartial observer. He believes in keeping a firm grip on all fourth-class postmasters, and he proposes to bounce any one that does not stay in the party traces and do his share of party work.
 The civil service commission has decided that a person cannot be re moved from the service because of his politics or religion; that such a re- moval would be discrimination within the rules of the service. This brings the case of Miss Huldah Todd of Delaware within those rules. She was confessedly removed for political reasons, and President Roosevelt will be compelled in all decency and hon. or to restore her to her fourth-class postmastership in Addicks' adopted state. This is very sad, but it is, alas, true.

ming of the vessel. In the Mediter- ranean the price varies from S4 to $5; in the West Indes from $6 to $75O; in Canada from $4 to $4.S0; in the eastern portion of the United States from $3.50 to s5. But in nearly all the ports mentioned trimming is ex- tra, costing from 10 to 30 cents ton In the south prices are quoted as fol- lows: Norfolk, trimming extra, 10 cents per ton, $390; Charleston, trimmed, s6 Savannah, trimmed, $5.S5; Pensacola, trimmed, $3.50; Mobile, trimmed, S3; Gr port, trimmed, 80; Paseagoula, trimmed, $5; New Orleans, trimmed, $3.9O; Sa- bine Pass and Port Arthur, trimmed S575; Galveston, f. a.

 As soon as the Warror is opened Mobile can readily supply and trim ships at $2 a ton, thus distancing all competing ports, and inviting thither many vessels. On a pinch it can cut the two-dollar rate, but $2 ton would admit of good profits all round The Mobile Register congratulates Mobile upor US proximity to excellent bunker coal, and it anticipates a rapid ratio of increase in the coaling business of that port. There is no better bunker coal than that of this district. It has teen fully tested.

SULTAN'S SLEEP EXPENSIVE.

From the New York Commercial
 Sleep that costs $500 a night seems pret- ty expensive but that is what the Sultan of Turkey is now paying for the privilege of more less tranquil repose. The money is received by the members of the special military staff which guards Abdul Hamid's bedroom, and which con sists of two generals a colonel a major, a captain, and several soldiers. For their nights work each of the two generals gets fifty Turkish pounds-or about $235; the colonel, forty; the major, thirty-five; the captain thirty; and each soldier. one, the tire amount aggregatng slightly over S900 in American money. The officers medately after they have been relieved, and don't have to wait for it like some pretty big nations to whom Abdul Hamid owes money
 This expensive night guard of the sul- tans has been maintained by him only since the recent assassination of the royal couple of Servia. Of course. the timorous ruler of Turkey always has been particu- larly well guarded at night, but the mur- ders at Belgrade scared Abdul HaAlid all most out of his wits, and he immediately determined that he would surround his bed chamber with the most vigiant men who could be secured, and make it to their interest to protect him. The command of the special night guard is intrusted to eight of the sultans most faithful gen. erals, two of whom are on duty every night. owing chiefly to this and other precautions that the ruler has adopted, recently, it is estimated that the weekly expense of running Yildez Kiosk is over Se0 OOO
