BISHOP KEYS VERDICT.

Bishop Joseph S. Key, one of the
venerable prelates of the Methodist
church, has been taking notes and he
considers the conditions alarming
But 10 per cent of the membership OF
the church of today is composed OF
men in the vigor of life, according to
Bishop Key He said, in opening the
Laymen's Conference at the First
Methodist church, Fort Worth, Mon
day morning:
Ninety per cent of the church
membership is composed of women,
boys and girls and old men, 1t is
useless for an old man to come
dawdling around and talk piously to a
man of business. A young man can
not effectively approach one who is
fifty years his senior From women
it becomes annoying Men can only
reach and influence men, There were
Fort Worth Sunday, but there were
twice as many in offices, clubs and
other places. This is the first move
ment we have had to organize the
men. l wish that l might live one
hundred years to see the result"
Perhaps there is a cause for all
this. Perhaps men in the vigor of life
are dissatisfied with conaliii...s.Rish
Eop Key is close observer, thinker
and perhaps it is up to him to solve
the problem.-Dallas Times Herald
The observation of Bishop Key is
timely. There are many reasons why
men are not active church workers
and in close touch with Gods bust
cuses rather, as there are it is safe
to say that every one of them is
based on selfishness or result from
Indifference. 1t is rule of many
business men to give preference to
those creditors who are the most in
sistent and to stand off those who
will be stood off, and there we have
the answer to part of the reason why
men do not identify themselves with
the church. We sometimes think
that if the church was an exclusive
club with a fixed due that only the
prosperous could meet, that many
men would make sacrifices to get in
and be shining lights, but as it is not
exclusive in that sense men turn to
something that eXacts more of them
and insists On more prompt pay
ments. 1t is nearly always a case not
just now, Lord, but after awhile when

A CURE FOR INDIFFERENCE.

1t is quite evident that the people
of Texas are in indignant mood be-
cause the legislature remains in ses-
sion, many of them not knowing,
however, that this causeless perform
ance is due to the arbitrary action of
Governor Campbell.
We believe the opening statement
to be literal fact; did we not SO be-
lieve, we certainly would not say so
in these columns. Of course, when
we say the people of Texas, we mean
the great majority of the public;
from all directions and from practi-
easAly every Interest L e
mand, "Quit and go home.' Unfor-
tunately, there is no quittingAa
least, not without considerable de-
moralization- the money is vot-
ed to conduct the government during
the next two years.
Mr.. Campbell seems incapable of
measuring himself against the fitness
of things. The simple fact that 1884,
900 men went to the polls and voted
for an unknown should have had
SOLDERING effect on our governor, but
not SO; he persists in radicalism for
which he has no warrant save his own
fancy.
There is this consolation: Hereafter
the people will, unless they are I'M
true to themselves, be concerned as
ito the sort of men they send to Aus
tin, not overlooking the one who is to
be the chief executive.-Waco Times
Herald.
Brother Robinson grows profound.
He has discovered that the legisla-
ture cannot obey the command of the
people 81 by passing the appropria-
ton bill and going home because the
governor refuses to submit the
appropriation bill This informa-
ton has been conveyed to us
through the Austin dispatches,
but Editor Robinson says the "arbi-
trary" action of the governor pre-
vents the legislature from obeying
the call to quit and go home If the
Times-Herald will think back a little
way it will remember that the demo-
cratic platform, on which Governor
Campbell was elected, demanded the
passage of certain measures, and
when Governor Campbell took the
oath of office he obligated himself to
carry out the will of the people, and
it is only by the arbitrary" action of
the legislature that he is not doing
what he obligated himself to do. Some
of the same people who are now
clamoring for the legislature to quit
and go home were the ones who de
manded this and that in the platform
So; whatever ones personal opinions

A BOIL WEEvIL TRAP.

A trap to catch boil weevils smacks
little of those tales told by certain
Baron Munchausen, whose remark
able experiences and still more re-
markable fabrications have been the
wonder and admiration of the Ana
MAS club for years past Yet the trap.
which is in reality an insect trap and
which promises to mean the saving of
millions of dollars to the agricultural
communities of the entire country, is
simple in design and has received the
approval of the United States patent
office by issuance of patent No.
500 $50.
The trap was invented by James e.
De Haas, a prominent citizen of Enid,
Oklahoma, and was designed for the
purpose of trapping all insects that
are attracted by light. The principle
object of the invention is to provide a
simple and inexpensive device of this
character which may be placed in a
garden or field of crop. for the pur-
pose of attracting, after dark, such in
sects as frequent such places
Backers of the new invention are in
correspondence with the Chamber of
Commerce relative to the probable To-
cation of factory in this city for the
manufacture of these trans There is
a national demand for a contrivance
of the kind. If successful, and expert
ments have proven that it is, the de-
vice will save to the farmers of Texas
$12,000,000 each year, which is the es-
innate of annual destruction of cot
ton caused by the boil weevils. The

Stiff Neck.

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism
of the muscles of the neck 1t is usual
ly confined to one side, or to the back
of the neck and one side. While it
is often quite painful, quick relief
may be had by applying Chamber
lain's Liniment. Net one case of rheu.
matism in ten requires internal treat
ment. When there is no fever and no
swelling as in muscular and chronic
rheumatism, Chamberlain's Liniment
will accomplish more than any inter.
nal treatment. For sale by Bratton

Many Texas democrats, or so-called
democrats, are lambasting Governor
Campbell because he insists that the
party pledges made before the cleo
ton shall be enacted into laws, and
at the same time are crying aloud
that the republican party has betray-
ed the country by promising tariff re-
form and then not living up to the
promise Inconsistency acts comic
role in the politics of many men.

nit that the governo rhas as good call
on the demands of the people as the
Legislature has, and he got his orders
first and from an official source.
Texas people are getting their eyes
open and it is barely possible that
hereafter some care will be taken as
to what goes into a party platform
and what kind of demands are made
on the governor. Governor Camp
bell accepted literally his Instructions,
and is trying to live up to them, as
he warned the people he would if
they elected him.

RED OAK TIES TO BE USED.
Shell Ballast, cresoted Ties and
Heavy Rails Chosen BY |. & G. N.

Today's Chronicle says:
A model stretch of road will be
built by the International and Great
Northern railroad on its right of way
between Houston and Sellers and for
about 25 miles beyond AS announced
S0-pound steel rails will be used in
the construction of the track, but it
has never been announced that red
oak ties treated with creosote would
be used. These ties have a guaran-
teed life of 20 years and cost about
60 cents apiece. 1t will probably
take close to 10000 of them to build
the stretch of road mentioned. This
road is also to be shell ballasted and
the International and Great Northern
is said to be in the market for $4,000
tons of shell to use in this work. A
good ballast already exists ON the
way but Ibis vi. be raIasred
practically perfect, cindess, gravel
and shell being used. Work will be-
gin in June
Last week the International and
Great Northern road bought $4,000
oak ties, which are now being placed
in use on the road between San Anto-
Mo and Laredo, and last month 10000
cypress ties were placed on another
stretch of the road Special attention
is given to the so miles of road imme-
diately out of Houston because over
it comes the great bulk of the Inter-
national and Great Northern traffic.
Judge T. J. Freeman is still in Mex
leo but is expected home about April
1. He received warm welcome from
the officials of the Mexican roads,
some of whom went as far north as
Monterey to meet his special train
and accompany him to the city of
Mexico.
No announcement has been made
of it but it is believed that signifi-
cant traffic arrangements with the
merged roads of Mexico are being
made by Judge Freeman ON this Mex
lean trip. Mrs. Freeman and Mr..
and Mrs. N. M. Leach are with him
on the trip.
