The Texas Election.

Texas is not Yet ready for Statewide pro-
hibiton About half a million voters divide
almost exactly In two parties this question.
The majority against prohibition Is so small
that after two days of counting 1t could only
be said that prohibition had been defeated by
few thousand votes. When 1t was certain
that the margin would be small at best the
friends or temperance could hardly wish for
that small margin in their favor. Prohibition
can be successful as a permanent policy only
when the majority Is large enough and deter
mined enough to. insure the enforcement of
the law in every county. This majority does
not Yet exist in Texas this election shows
1t will now be necessary to continue the fight
along county unit lines Under that policy
the dry area will steadily widen until 1t covers
the entire State outside OF the larger cities-

The Result In Texas

Latest reports to the effect that the
Statewtde prohibition election in Texas has re-
suited IN victory for the whiskey forces by a
majority OF Axe Or six thousand. Early re-
turns indicated that the prohibitionists had
won by several thousand with a number Of
returns from these communities We're NATURALLY
expected to increase the majority. But as
the hours passed the situation changed, some
how. Reports from the cities, which at first
had been disappointing to the various ants. be-
gan to be more favorable to the whiskey cause
hfbition had been defeated by the majority al
ready stated.
The prohibitionists are not satisfied with the
result, or the manner in which 1t was achieved.
They charge wholesale fraud and intimidation
and assert that thousands of Mexicans and
of the lower class who had no right to vote
were corraled and voted like cattle for the
whiskey traffic Whiskey money, they declare
flow ed like water everywhere, and was a potent
factor in the election.
While these serious accusations doubtless will
DE Indignantly resented by friends of the whis-
key traffic in Texas and elsewhere, those who
are familiar with the tactics of the whiskey
interests in elections in which the existence of
the traffic is at stake will not be surprised TO
learn that every charge made by the Texas
prohibitionists is founded truth 1t is to
be regretted that the whiskey forces triumphed
at all. and all the more that they triumphed
by the practice of notorious fraud and corrup-
ton. But the prohibitiouists while they are
no doubt discouraged. have cause to be
disconsolate to abandon hope. A majority
out of n total vote of nearly five hundred thou
SAND, and when the means by which that ma
jority was attained is considered, the whiskey
forces of Texas have little reason to congratu-
late themselves upon the result or to face the
future with confdence.-Brstol-H Herald Courier

The majority against prohibition in Texas
counts up to 5000. and the anti's are claiming
5000. Texas is big State and not all of It
Is furnished with railroads and telegraphs and
therefore not all the returns in yet.
Ii seems wonderful to those who knew Texas
several decades ago to think that prohibition
could come anywhere near winning there but
evidently conditions have changed astonishing

prohibition only lacks some 5000 or s 900 of

must not be delayed Are you favorable to
Fusionism or to the supremacy of clean and
straight Democracy?
Don't let us have any more rot about this
being a local party row that must be settled
by the county committee. The county COM
mittee belongs, bag and baggage. to Alvah
Martin He will surely not have the audacity
to be in Richmond today, but he was
deeply interested in receiving the returns on
the night of the primary election in Norfolk
county. and every intelligent man, who is
informed concerning the situation there knows
that this Republican leader is the boss Of
the fusion gang"
What are YOU going 10 do about 1t? The
only paper in Norfolk city. that has failed to
ton, is a paper in which Alvah Martin is
large stakeholder The Vfrginida-Pilot and
the LnRdmdrk whose Democracy is not ques-
toned and whose intimate acquaintance with
conditions cannot be denied, are both cean-cut
and strong in their demand for relief from
situation that has become intoIerable

case in true and trenehant style when it
says:
The central committee cannot shift it's bur

SO popular and frequent just at present but
words do not alter conditions unless they

The central committee must realize that flu
siontsm has not always been SO abhorred by
Democratic machine in the State always been
its bitter enemy. Friendliness toward the Nor
folk county fusion crowd has been displayed
in the past both by the committee and the
leader. and tie friendship Of one has been
with the friendship of the other.
AS a consequence and there Ia no need of beat
ing about the bush, the measure of support
that Thomas Staples Martin may expect from
the decent Democrats ot this section. perhaps
throughout the State. is largely contingent upon
the treatment accorded TO the straightonts in
this contest.
THAT is the fact and there is no honesty
in lodging it."
And the Ftrgfnfd5l- Pffot as vigorously cham
poned the same action in these words:
Fusion in Norfolk county continues to exist
only because of the recognition and more here
tofore given it by the State Democratic commit

TT will cease to exist when the State Demo-
cratic committee, by official act. shall repudiate
in toto the so~cailcd Democrats who are re-
sponsible for conditions of political cohabita-
ton dsgraeaful and disgracing alike to Nor
folk county and To the Commonwealth at large.
Professions Of opposition to fusion on the
part Of the state committee and of 'organiza-
ton" leaders are all very we'll far as they
GO but 1t is the deed, not the word. that counts;
and until the unless the State Democratic com
mittee and the Organization" which IL repre-
SCENTS, shall square the deed with the word by
absolutely fepudiating fusion and fusionists,
the Democratic suffragans Of Virginia will and
with good cause, doubt the sincerity OF their
professions"

The bearded woman is not fiction.
A bearded woman was taken by the
Russians at the battle of Poltava and
presented to the czar. Her beard
measured over yard. The great Mar

EDITING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.

Strenuous Times In Getting Out an
EARLY French Work.
Many adventures befell the French
eighteenth century encyclopedia. More
than once the production of that work,
regarded by authority as revolution
ary, had been stopped. eight days Of
imprisonment in the Bastille for the
printer being one incident. At the
very last moment after Diderot had
corrected the final proofs, the printer
and his foreman secretly slashed the
articles right and left. cutting out
everything that seemed even possibly
dangerous and burned the manu-
script Diderot discovered the atroc
ity too late when referring to one Of
his own mutilatcd articles. But the
most remarkable point is that for
years very few persons knew of what
had happened. even the contributors
remaining in ignorance. They had
had enough Of their own articles when
writing them.
Noitaire tells Il pleasing story of
Louis AVS conversion to the mer

the London Chronicle. The talk one

For Instance, she herself did not know
what her rouge was made of or how
her silk hose were manufactured.
"'Tis pity" said the Due de la Val.

back with seven each. GunpOwder,

problems that troubled them. The
king discovered the rights Of his
crown set forth, and in his satisfaction
he allowed the cOnflscated copies to be

Guide Posts in the Desert

From the Mining and Engineering World
 Prospecting and travelling in the great southwestern deserts always have been and probably always will be attended with danger.
 It was about a year ago that an appro- pration of s5,ocO was made by the Cali fornia state legislature for the erection of guide boards in the California deserts to guide travellers to water holes
 A more extensive movevent has been launched by the Introduction of bill into the United States Senate by Senator Works of California providing for an appropriation of Sl0,000 for the purpose of enabling the Secretary of the Interior to discover. develop, improve and protect streams. springs and water holes in the desert and arid lands of the public do- main and to construct and maintain suit able monuments and signs near lines of travel so as to inform travellers where they can slalle their thirst.

DETECTIVES ARE
 AFTER DYNAM|TERS

Mount Vernon, N. Y, September IA score of experienced detectives are in this city today Investigating the dynamic ing last night of the big new viaduct of the New York, Westchester and Boston railroad The explosion is the first on a bridge or any other iron structures since the arrest of the two McNamaras and McManigal.
 The viaduct is being built by non union labor
 According to information received by Chief of Police Foley it is believed a woman carrying a satchel seen in the vicinity of the viaduct, was the represen- tatiye of the dynamiters. She was seen walking toward the second pier. which sustained one of the steel grders of via- ducts, and which was blown to pieces. Immediately following the explosion, which shattered many panes of glass in the vicinity and threw passengers in a passing trolley car into a panic, she was seen running away from the scene.
