THE HOUSEHOLD GIRL.

George M. Bailey of Houston has prob
ably done more to promote domesticity
in Texas than any other man in that
state. His eulogy of the famous red
headed widows of Texas resulted in
every one of them that was willing be-
ing whisked away to preside over new
establishments, and his panegyrics on
the celebrated pie-builders, battercake
fiappers and potlicker brewers of Hous-
ton have made thousands of poorly-fed
married men elsewhere wish they had
wooed and won a bride from the placid
and odoriferous shores of Buffalo Bayou.

SOWING THE WIND.
OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.

President Taft says the Aldrich tar itt hold-up is the loveliest tariff bill ever framed and that the insurgent republicans who refused to put on the collar are very undesirable cit- gems.
 It Is plain that President Bill can't remember as far back as the HaT- rlson administration and thinks he can SOW the wind without reaplug the whlrlwind. In 1890 forseelng repub- Mean leaders and the biggest and brainIest republican newspapers warn ed the party in congress that mod crate protecuonists would not stand for a brace game. The warning was dlsregarded and the republicans lost half their members of the House at the next election.
 When, as now, ihe ablest republi- can newspapers in the land, as well as all the independent newspapers, deuOunce the tariff bill as the be trayal of a party pledge, when both republican senators from Minnesota, Iowa aud Nebraska, and one each from Indiana. Wisconsin, South Dakota and Kansas. and more than twenty republicans in the house, vote against it. the sentiment in the Middle West is something to take notice of.
 This Aldrich tariff will leave many a republican stoOLpigeOn at home next year. It ought to beat every man who voted for 1t, Any pretense that it was a reduction Is disposed Of by the fact hat the New York GUS tom house was swamped with import ations. particularly cotton and wool. eu goods, during the last few weeks before 1t became a law. The import CTS knew.
 Intelligent republican sentiment on tbe tariff, when 1t is not biased by in terest, was aptly expressed in 1890 by Robert c. Ingersou when the Me Kinley garrote was being fashioned, In these words:
 q believe in protecting our infant industries, but when the infant gets to be six feet high and wears number twelve boots, it is time to withdraw parental care, especially fl he stands up In the cradle and threatens to kick your head off if you stop rock ing.''-yaldez PrOspector.

ing President La6d and Secretary STRAIT

did not state that purpose. although the
law provided that notice of special

of the company had been served with
a notice an dthat it was part of the
conspiracy of the majority directors to
cancel certificates of IL 900 shares of

Brown claimed the right to vote the
stock, declaring that as a considera-
tion of purchase the proxy was vested
in Brown. Henshaw hurried Metson
over to the meeting and Metson
claimed the right to vote with his
