Parties owning property which
has been advertised for delinquent
assessments are coming in and
paying up in good shape and it
looks like they would all be in be-
fore il becomes necessary to sell the
property, If they do this it will
save them a great deal OF expense
and trouble. So far there is very lit
tie extra expense, as the little adj,
vertising bill is all the additional
expense, but il it goes to sale, there
will be penalties, interest and cost,
all of which will be a great deal
more than just the amount OF the
assessment. 1t is hoped the proper
ty owners will all meet this obliga-
tion before it becomes necessary to
sell.

PEOPLE GETTING BUSY.
Opposition to Governor Campbell
Increasing in Volume Every

In Waco there seems to be a
growing sentiment against Governor
Campbell for reelection. This coun-
ty, it will be remembered, went for
Bell in the gubernatorial race two
years ago, and while the present
chief executive has some warm per-
sonal friends and admirers here,
they are decidedly in the minority.
At the corner of Fourth and
Bankers alley this morning a poll
of the people who passed by was ia
Campbell and Williams. and re-
porter for this paper was told that
only two or three out of thirty had
indicated that they would support
the present incumbent for re-elec-
ton, says the Waco Times-Herald.
Some people, who claim to know
the lay of the land, prophesy that
the Georgia incident will be repeat
ed in this state next month. Hoke
Smith was defeated for second
term as governor of Georgia by Joe
Brown, a man who entered the race
toward the close, and who did not
seem to be near SO popular as his
opponent. yet he defeated Governor
Smith by very large majority, as
was recorded by the press dispatches
relating to the campaign. Many here
assert q second term plea does not
count with them where the candidate
has not come up to a reasonable de-
gree of expectation during the nrst
term.
Governor Campbeil's policy OF
lauding the thirtieth legislature to
the skies has not met with approval
in many quarters, for there are
scores OF people who assert that the
last session OF that body did meal
culable injury to Texas. 1t is true
that the statute books were made
more corpulent as result, but the

GROVER CLEVELAND.

Grover Cleveland Is dead. he was
the twenty-second and the twenty
fourth president of the United
States, the only democrat called to
that high office since the administra-
ton of James Buchanan and one of
forceful men ever called to the
White House. Grover Cleveland's life
achievements are familiar to all men
who read and think In two great
campaigns he was the idol of his
party and Of the independent voters
of this nation, says the Dallas Times
Herald He broke with his party on
the preservation of the credit Of the
nation and was Missed and execrated
and the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. Time has vindicated his es-
pousal Of the gold standard, time has
indicated his magnificent fight for
tariff reform, time has indicated his
bold defiance Of spoils-hunters, "a
public Office is public trust and not
private snap" and time has vindi-
Gated his sturdy devotion to the con-
stitution of this republic, the tradi-
lions of the fathers Of our country
and the precepts of Jefferson. Grover
Cleveland was sturdy, aggressive
and well-poised man. He had physi-
cal courage, he had moral courage,
he had nerve and he had a backbone.
He never trimmed, he never side
stepped, he gave fearless utterance
to his honest convictions and in
1896, when he deliberately placed
his country above his party he was
honest and sincere. This man who
died at Princeton Wednesday was an
old school democrat. He stood for an
honest dollar, tariff for revenue, civil
service reform, fewer and saner
laws, local self-government and
equal rights to all. His name will
stand out in history as one of the
most resolute and commanding fig
ures of the age in which he lived.
First idolized and lionized by his
countrymen and his party and then
traduced and maligned for his refus-
al to bow to the demands of feverish
and excited partisans, he passed out
of public life to the peaceful quiet of
his Princeton home and patiently
awaited a vindication which he felt
in his heart was sure to come. Time
evens all things, times squares all
accounts, time vindicates men and
their motives and time again placed
Grover Cleveland in the white light
of public favor and regained for HIN
the love and veneration of the Am
erican people regardless of party
Had the democratic leaders accepted
! his advice in 1894 and in 1896 the
democratic party would have been in
power today. They rejected his ad-
vice, questioned his motives and re-
viled his name. The first and last
democratic president elected in for
ty-eight years, or nearly half a cen
fury, died, and the democratic ship
continues to plunge madly among
the breakers, on hostile coast with
no light house on the shore.

USES OF SAWDUST.
By-Product OF Lumber Serves for
Many Purposes.

Many are the uses of sawdust. In
the days when the sawdust wagon
made its numbering rounds through
the streets OF most large cities two
commercial uses of sawdust were to
sprinkle floors and to shelter lead
pipes from cold and glass bottles
from breakage.
Near every sawmill was vat for
the saw dust, and It was carried
away free by any one who had any
use for 1t. 1t is no longer given away
but Is sold.
One of the recent uses OF sawdust
is 1t distillation, resulting in acetic
acid. wood naptha, wood alcohol.

STRANGE TENEMENT.
1t Is in Paris and Unique Rules Are
Followed BY It's Landlord.


Followed BY Its Landlord.
In the st. Denis quarter of Paris
a district that corresponds to the
dow, town east side of New York,
there stands large tenement house,
the trustees of which are under obli-
cations by the will of its late found
er and proprietor, never to evict
summarily any of the tenants who
may find themselves unable to pay
the weekly rent.
The building, which was erected
of holding about 100 families, these,
for the most part belonging to the
hand-to- mouth strugglers in the bat
tie of life. Each apartment consists
of two small rooms, the rental of
which amounts to less than 81 a
| week When a tenant moves into
possession, he is obliged by the reg
ulations to possess little furniture,
a bed, few chairs, lamp and a
stove being supplied by the landlord.
Provided he pays his rent for at
least one month he comes under the
category of tenants who are exempt
! from summary eviction, or who are
at least given a chance-such as 1t
| is-to pay their dues. If, however.
he should fail in any week to pay
his rent he is accordingly warned by
the housekeeper in charge that
should he be unable to meet his OBJ
legations in the following week he
will have to submit to the process of
eviction by degrees. Here is the odd
process:
At the end of the week-rent day
following he warning given him,
| if the tenant is still unable to pay,
his willingness to do so being as
sumed, the official bailiff attached to
the tenement house, calls at the de-
faulters apartment, removes one
window from it's easement and trans
fers the same to strong room. At
! the end of the second week, should
the tenant find himself again in
straits, the bailiff removes the re-
naming windows. In the third week,
supposing the same condition of af-
fairs to exist, at the end of the fourth
week he removes the stove, and If
the unfortunate lodger be unequal
to the call on his exchequer at the
close of the fifth week the bailif re-
moves the door frame and panels
from the masonry work. In the sixth
| week his bed is taken from him II
he has not long ago departed, and
the tenant Is informed that he must
seek a lodging elsewhere. II at any
time in the course Of the dismantling
of his little apartment the tenant
should come into funds he may pur-
chase back whatever part of the fix
lures that has been removed.
The late founder of the establish
ment once made a vow, it is said,
that he would never be guilty Of
summarily evicting anyone from his
lodging house. 1t Is found that the
system works well and that tenants,
mostly of the poorer classes, remain
a long time at the establishment.
The notion of dispossessing a tenant
by igstallments is not without Its
onableness, since, while he is not
thrown homeless upon, the street, he
Is still urged to harder efforts to find
work and save his little home be-
fore 1t has altogether slipped from
his possession.-New York World.
