The dread of a poor showing in the gov
eminent report of crop conditions as of

the ground of the heavy tone of the mar

for the Remsen Gas bill, under considera-

the fluctuations in Consolidated and
Brooklyn Union Gas. Some part of the
present extreme paucity of the dealings in

which horse vehicles and automo-

the horse vehicle can only be COM

cannot be foreshadowed with any
degree of certainty. It is not i'm
probable that a change in the ad
valorem tax law will also be. con-
sidered, with a view of making bet
ter provision for State revenues,
though it is doubtful if any specific
plan will be recommended by the
convention. OF the other questions
likely to be discussed, a good deal
has already been said from time to
time and the public is reasonably
familiar with them:
There will be host of able men
in the convention. Many of the
names and faces which were famil-
lar in State conventions a decade
or two ago have passed away or are
no longer conspicuous in political
affairs, yet several members of the
old guard will be there, and with
them will be an array of younger
men abundantly able to do good
work in the making of history and
in building on the foundations laid
by the Texas fathers.
All in all, while it will probably
not be a spectacular affair, and
while its work will be chiefly along
lines already mapped out for it,
this convention, composed of rep
resentatives from conservative
Democrats, will be sane and safe
and, meeting on what is believed
to be the Threshold of revolution
in the country S political sentiment,
that will insure a victorious party
in the Nation, its deliberations may
be more far-reaching and more po-
tent for good than have been some
of the more effervescent of its pre-
decessors. San Antonio Express.

The Thumbs Of Thieves.

For the Bertillon system of iden-
tifcation, we may apparently score
a good point in the report from
London of the arrest of four rogues
and Bertillon's theory assumes that
no two men are absolutely alike
that if you can put upon record al
the facts that fix n2ans individu-
atty, this will be q certain guide tc
hat mans identity. Applied in the
IT of the detectives, this theory
romised at one time more splAad:d
esults than have been realized, bci
seems to be working its way.
One of the points in the system
involves the impression made by the
hunlb upon any soft surface, say
wax. Upon the under surface OF
he end of the thumb you may OBJ
serve a maze of minute lines; and
it held that these lines are dissimi-
ar in every person. In a London
jewelers. shop a burglar had lighted
his way with a candle and left the
candle behind him, and on the can
die left the impression of his thumb
At police headquarters they had an
impression of the thumb of every
professional THE, and making
comparison they found their men.
They knew the man and his associ-
ates, caught them all and recovered
a portion of the stolen property.
Thus science helps the police
but it also educates the thieves. who
learn eventually not to leave behind
such certain evidences OF their iden-
tty.

HON. F. W, sEABURY,
THE STATE CONVENTION.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
The Democratic State convention
will assemble at Houston today for
the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for State Offices, indorsing
candidate for United States Senator
to be elected by the next Legisla-
ture, electing a State chairman, and
to transact other business of greater
Or less Importance.
This will be the first nominating
convention held in Houston since
the memorable convention of 1892,
which resulted in a split and in the
nomination of two Gubernatorial
candidates, Hon. George Clark of
Waco and Hon. ]. S. Hogg of Ty-
Ter, and it noteworthy fact that
at the convention of this week there
will exist the first complete har-
mony in the ranks of the Texas
Democracy since the unfortunate
rupture of twelve years ago, for
while there has been a tacit peace
duYffIg most of this period, some Of
the most prominent Democrats have
not been in utilization with the par
ty organization. Now, however,
Texas Democrats are united, and
this convention promises to be har
monious and peaceful, with no IS
sues other than friendly contests
for few of the positions at its dis
posal.
The work of the convention will
in the main be perfunctory, being
for the most part merely the car
rying out of the wishes of the party
as expressed at the recent prima-
ries. Governor Lanham and most |
of the members of his official fami-
" have been Endorsed beyond ques-
ton, and lack only formal nomina-
ton, while Senator Culberson' 5 re-
cord has been so satisfactory, not
to say gratifying, to the people of
the State and he was so overwhel-
mingly Endorsed in the primaries
that. like Governor Lanham, he
will succeed himself without OPP
position. The principal contest
will probably arise over the selec-
ton of State chairman, with three |
good men from whom to make a |
choice-Hon. Frank Andrews, the
well known Houston attorney; |
Hon. Ben +. Cabell, ex-sheriff of
Dallas county and more recently |
MAYOR of the city of Dallas, and
Hon. w. L. Radney of Waco, for
several years a conspicuous factor
in the party councils, with the odds
apparently in favor of Mr.. An
drews.
A sharp fight may occur in the
race for Attorney General, for
while Judge Davidson claims vic
tory in the primaries, Messrs. Wear
and Simmons have threatened to
contest his claim. A contest be
tween the two aspirants for the Of
fee of Superintendent of Public
instruction is not improbable, and
there are a few rival delegations to
be decided between. but the pros
pect is that all of these battles viii I
be fought and decided without acri
mony and that at the close of the +
convention no Texas Democrat will I
falter in his allegiance to the
party.
In the construction of a platform
there will be arguments, but no bit I
terness. A proposition to repeal
the occupation tax law will be sub
1uitted, Endorsed BY several Of the
commercial bodies Of the State, and
there will be a strong sentiment IN
favor of an Affirmative declaration
