JusT how the Clenwood conven-
tion will dispose of Bob Speer and
Tom Patterson remains to be seen.
Both of these men have considerable
ability but neither of them are
Democrats and have no business
whatever in Democratic conven-
tion. Bob Speer is an Evans man,
and Tom Patterson is Patterson
man. 1t will also be the sad duty
of this convention TO put man in
Milton Smiths place if the Demo-
Gratis expect to win this falls
election. Milton Smith defeated
the Democrats four years ago and
again, with the aid of Bob Speer,
two years ago. There is only one
hope for the Democratic party to
win this fall and that is for its con-
ventions to cut out all political
pirates:

THE bumper appropriation of this
session of Congress, exceeding by
hundred millions of dollars all
previous appropriations, will be
heard from on the hustings in the
coming presidential campaign. A
large part of it is for widows pen
sions and will go to young women,
or women at letst who were once
young and who married old soldiers
In order that they might enjoy
their share of this 60 millions of
dollars annually. Those patriotic
Americans who counted that there
would be no more pensions to pay
after all the soldiers of the Civil
War died. were counting without
their hostess. The fact remains,
however, that while the revenues of
the country are decreasing the ex-
travagance Of Congress is increas-
ing. No individual, a member of
Congress has recently said would
dare run a business as this Congress
runs the business of the nation. :"
There is no budget brought in.
There is no attempt to estimate
what the income of the Govern
ment will be and then to fit the
expenditure to that income, but
there is general graft on the part of
the different chairmen of the differ
ent appropriations committees to
get their full amount and let the
Treasury take care of itself. The
fact is that there is no opportunity
for proper scientific discussion
of the budget and no consideration
of expenditures in accordance with
the income. This is the reason that
today, with diminishing treasury
balance, we are having an increased
amount of appropriations.

GovrKNoR BucnrEL has issued

GOVERNOR BucHTEL has issued
another order to have all kinds of
gambling, prize fighting, etc. stop
ped throughout the state. Just
what will come from this order
remains to be seen. Some persons
speak of it lightly and think the
governor is only ''joshing,' but
those kind of remarks are heard
regarding all attempted reforms.
We believe that Mr.. Buchtel is in
earnest and will do all he can to
enforce the order.

That it was another proof of the

UNIQUE AND NOVEL
ENTERTAINMENT
Leap Year Calico" Dance Given by
Ladies OF Brownsville.

My lady in a calico gown, as
fair to behold as my lady in silks
and satins, graced the Browns
vile opera house on the evening
of February IA, when the ladies of
Brownsville gave one of the most
novel and unique entertainments
ever witnessed in this city. This
was the calico" leap year dance.
1t was not only a very enjoyable
affair, but also a pretty one. By
nine o'clock, great many ladies
attired in the most becoming cos
fumes of that inexpensive material
which gave its name to the func-
ton, and as many gentlemen were
assembled at the hall.
The dance began at the hour
named with march by the men,
led most gracefully by Messrs. B.
G. Stegman and Jesse bennett. At
its close envelops were distributed
among them, each containing a
necktie which matched the gown
of some lady present. Then began
a search on the part of each gen
tleman for the lady wearing the
costume matching his tie. When
found, she was his partner for the
first dance. After this the leap year
privilege prevailed throughout the
evening.
Unique programs covered with
calico of various tints and designs
many of them being quite artistic.
were distributed. In addition to
the novel features, the excellei t
music by the Anzaldua band, the
fine weather, clear and cool, added
to the success of the affair. In fact
everything seemed propitious.
The taste and skill shown by the
ladies in devising costumes of cot
ton materials were commented upon
by all present. They all looked
charming, and this event has no
doubt convinced all male beholders

Contrary to expectations the taking
