Half-Cent Coins.
ON the Savannah New.

From the Savannah News.
There has been a revival of the PROPOSE
ton to call into existence the half-cent or
five-mlls copper piece. Five or six years
ago a bill with that purpose In view was
introduced into Congress. but 1t seems to
have died of hamilton. The call for the
haif-cent comes strongest from Chicago
Boston, New York and other large cities In
which there are great department stores.
though IL is quite likely that in all other
cities the advent of the new money piece
would be welcomed There was a time
when the copper cent was despised, but
called penny" is now as carefully looked
after as the nickel was ten or ffteef
years ago.

MYSTERY OF DREAMS.
The Wonders the Brain Sees In the

Fraction of . Second.
It Is not unusual to hear one say that
be has been dreaming about something
all night, when possibly his dream oc-
cupied only very short time. Many
attempts have been made to measure
the time occupied in dream, and rec
ort1s appear from time to time In the
papers showing that often elaborate
ones occupy but a few seconds. The
following incident is told by gentle
man who vouches for its accuracy:
He was engaged one afternoon with
clerk IN verifying some long columns
Of figures that had been copied from
one book to another, The numbers,
representing amounts In dollars and
cents, were composed Of six or seven
figures. The clerk would read, for In

copy was correct. Page after page had
been read as rapidly as the words
could be uttered, each number receiv-
ing the "check." The work was drowsy,
and it was with difficulty he could
keep his eyes open.
Finally sleep oyercame him, and he

had been accustomed to drive twenty
five or thirty years ago. He could not
recall any special incident connected
with the dream except the locality and
the distinct sight Of the horse and of
the buggy to which he had driven him.
He awoke suddenly and, as number
was ended, called "Check." He was
conscious Of having slept and of hav-
ing dreamed and said to the clerk:
"Charlie, / have been asleep. How
many Of those numbers have l miss

New Texas Law Tends to Prevent

New Texas Law Tends to Prevent
 Corruption In Politics.
 The Democrats of Texas are deter mined to have majority rule. The last legislature adopted q provision for the instruction of delegates to conventions by providing that 10 per cent of the voters of any political party can pet- tion to have such propositions as they desire voted upon at any primary cleo ton. If a majority of the voters de clare for the proposition the delegates to county and state conventions are thereby instructed to vote for the same This amounts to the installing of the direct initiative in Texas, as the Democrats control the state and the legislature will have to carry out the platform of the party thus expressed by popular vote.
 This system can be used to instruct for candidates or policies and will compel delegates to conventions to car " out the will of the majority express ed at caucuses and will prevent cor porations and other interested parties from corruptly trying to influence the action of conventions.

STRENUOUS DIPLOMACY.
United States to Be Responsible For the Debts of Other Countries.

United States to Be Responsible For
 the Debts of Other Countries:
 The people of the United States are being tied up in diplomatic tangles by their rulers that will cost them dear in the near future if the following ir- formation is correctly stated:
 A late issue of the London Times. which Is notable for the correctness of its statements, prints" says the Washington Post, "a summary of the agreement between the government of Costa Rica and Messrs. Speyer & Co. of New York, providing for the settle ment of the Gebt of that republic and makes this astonishing assertion:
 The agreement is remarkable for the fact that the United States makes itself responsible for fulfiIment of the terms. In the summary of the agree ment it Is stated that:
 Holders of the refunding bonds and Messrs. Speyer & Co. shall be en- titled to apply to the United States Of America for protection against any violation of and for aid in the enforce meDt of the agreement and the refund ing bonds.'
 Tt would be interesting to know upon what authority the Costa Rican government and Messrs. Speyer S Co. acted when they agreed that in case of violation of their agreement the United States should be drawn into the squabble. Has any official or de pertinent of this government assured Costa Rica that its debt shall be guar anteed by the United States? Have Messrs. Speyer & Co. obtained assur- ances from any person in this govern ment that an agreement with Costa Rica will be enforced by the United States if necessary? Has any olicsll, in the zealous effort to prevent such a complication as arose in Santo Do mingo, taken it upon himself to settle the financial entanglements of Costa Rica by facilitating an agreement bind ing tie United States to any course of action?
 Tt is impossible to believe that any American official, from the president down, could be guilty of such an act or that the administration would sup port him In the attempt. However desperate the finances of Costa Rica may be, the time has not yet arrived when the United States can be bound by secret understandings with bank CTS and money lenders to guarantee the payment of Costa Rica's debt. Such an act would be of fatal conse- quence to the official attempting it upon it's exposure to the public. Ii would be more far reaching and peril ous than anything that has yet been done in santo Domingo. Even a form al treaty proposing such 8 course would be rejected as preposterous.
 Nevertheless the council of foreign bondholders, from which valuable in- formation was derived last winter re garding the Santo Domingo situation.
