If you were going to furnish a

things to make your home beauti-

for soft carpets, rich rugs, pleasant
pictures and dainty glass and china2
Or would you just put in any things

they were harmonious in color and
artistic in design or not2

TER FAR.
Softly there, gentlemen Of the
legislature. Keep cool and do not
unbridle the unruly member.
Don't denounce the democratic
convention and the platform. The
Houston convention was not the
rabble that the gentleman from
Wharton seems TO think it was and
the platform committee was not a
coterie Of politicians foisting rot
and demagogy upon the people
as alleged by Mr.. Kennedy Of Mart.
The convention was thoroughly
representative Of the great demo
cratic party of Texas, as much so
as any similar gathering that ever
assembled in The Stale. It's per-
sonncl was in every respect credit
able to the best citizens Of the
State.
Why should q convention that
included iu its membership John
II. Reagan, Charles A. Culbcrson,
Thomas M Campbell, James S.
Hogg. NJ N Crane. James B.
Wells. Frank r. Lubbock. Charles
X Bell. o. B. Colquitt, nearly
every Texas representative in con-
gress and hosts of others, be called
a rabble? And where, pray, has
the youthful Mr.. Kennedy obtained
the authority 20 dcnounce as rot
a platform formulated by a COM
mittee of which the Sainted Reagan
was chairman, and whose members
included such men as Cone John
son, Jim Wells, Waller Baker,
Watt Finley, George Pendlcton,
Choice Randell and Andy Baker,
Il comes with poor grace from
gentlemen who claim TO be demo
Gratis TO dcnounce such 4 conven-
ton and q platform written by
such men. The Post comedies the
right 20 members TO vote as their
couscicnccs dictate, and there is
substance perhaps boz the claim that
a member owes his frs. allegiance
TO the people who elected him and
thc instructions which bis nominal
ing convention prescribed, but
there is not the shadow of q ueccs-
sity for dcuounciug thc thoreaud
democrats selected by the several
counties TO nominate a State ticket
as a rabblc or the platform adopted |
by the convention as rot.
II is not a pleasing thing 70 hear
such language from men who yield |
allegiance to the democratic party. |
It creates a bad impression and
leaves an unpleasant taste in the
mouth.
The Post, therefore, beseeches |
these impulsive and eXcitable
Young men TO calm themselves. /
Dcnunciation will do no good and |
the democratic party as represent /
ed IN the convention will be doing |
business through the medium of
other conventions in the future.

The anti-gambling bill, introduced
at the special session a year ago and
mvsteriously stolen after it had passed
the house, has again made its appear
ance. and il is expected that the gam
bling interests will make a vigorous
fight to prevent its passage. The new
bill was introduced in the house by
Gray of Douglas.
The precautions adopted by both
senate and house make II reasonably
certain that a bill cannot again be
stolen while being carried from one
chamber TO the other. The fight
must therefore be in the open, and
unless the bill should be buried In
committee 1t is likely to pass.
The sentiment in favor of the bill
seems to be strong and the advocates
of the measure are resolved to put II
TO the test. But the anti-gamPling
crusade will not stop at the suppress
sion of ordinary games of chance.

TORTURED SERyIAN SOLDIERS
Boiling Water. Skewers and Bastina-
do Are Used.

Vienna, Jan. IA trial just con-
cluded at Belgrade has brought to
light hideous forms of punishment
practiced habitually upon clumsy
conscripts. Dashing a pail of boiling
water over the feet is favorite meth
cd of obstruction" A sergeant
named Georgevics admitted that he
had meted out this torture for years.
1t was proved that bastinado on the
soles of the feet is inflicted nearly
every week. Some soldiers have had
their toenails torn off; the arms of
others are run through meat skew
ers. while some unfortunate wretches
are kept for lengthy periods suspend
ed by their feet.
AS a result of this excessive cruelty
desertions are an every day occur
renee. Sometimes whole companies
cross the borders into Macedonia or
Bulgaria.

during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect OF Swamp-Root

ELECTION FRAUDS.
New York Worlds Report After An
Investigation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Fornler CHIEF
Hazen of the secret service and re
porters for the World have inv estigat
ed charges of election frauds On Nov
Z and report that there is no re liable
proof of the ballots being tamLered
with after the polls had closed and
that whatever frauds were committed
1t was in the illegaf registration Of pa"
sons not entitled to vote, the voting OF
mcri upon the names of persons prop
erly registered, the Intimidation of per
sons by watchers and workers and in
the possible i%nvalidating of ballots
through either criminal intent or igno-
rance of inspectors and ballot and poll
clerks.
There is not lacking Il vast amount OF
evidence that from 5000 to 5000 men
cast Illegal votes. They were brought
in droves from Philadelphia and New
jersey and Connecticut cities and
transferred and voted two or three
times. Tln World has the admission
of one man that he voted twelve times
in New York and Brooklyn on election
day. 1t has the confessions of Other
men. undoubtedly true, that they vot
ed three or four times.
