A GRAND OLD WARRIOR PASSES

Death of Representative James P. Buchanan or Texas takes from Congress of the saunchest Ad- ministration supporters and Democrat of many years standing It was back in 1913 that MT Blu canan first elected to in the 63rd Congress from the 10th Texas district to succeed Albert Sidney Bureson Later he appointed Postmaster Gen. eral by President Woodrow Wilson for short time and then reelected to the 64h Congress from his same 10th District in Texas and has served con- tinuousy in the following Congresses since that time
 MT. Buchanan chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee and such of course made critics of those whose requests for ap propriatons were turned down. But the veteran Congressman had reputation for fairness and even though there were those who thought he a little tough on some of their requests they knew and rec ognized the fact that the old horse from Texas was trying to give everybody just what they were entitled to comparative basis with other requests and nothing
 Many appropriation seeker has come out of the House committee with Bucanan's famous words ringing his ears, You can't flim-flam me" and the record will show that they never able do But the veteran always listened to the presented and the more the advocate fought for his appropriation the better he liked it. two-fisted, rugged fighter himself, he liked to have cases pre- sented forcefuly and the person who got something by "od man Buchanan" usually looked upon as individual of parts
 strong character, fine gentleman and Demo- cratic warrior of the first water lost to Texas and the nation in the passing of James P Buchanan at che age of 73

A Senator's Little Joke
Cincinnati Enauirer)

(Cincnnat1 Enqulrer)
 The House had passed and the Senate was de- batting bill to appropriate $500oOoO0 for seed loans to farmers Senator Carter Glass and demanded that the clerk read slowly and distinctly veto mes sage of President Grover Cleveland written in 1887 Cleveland had vetoed $10OO0 appropriation for free seeds to farmers expressing the now famous dlctum that though the people support the government the government should not support the people"
 Senator Glass got instantaneous results. series of administration Senators rushed to the barrcades to defend the governments right and power to appro- priate for the common welfare Senator Robinson, with tears in his voice. pleaded that the government would be poweress to aid Ohio Valley flood sufferers if we went back to CeveIands interpretation of the constitution
 Then it was that MT Glass admitted he was not too serious that he wanted the Senate to appreciate how many changes have been made in our interpre- tation of constitution in the intervening years The fiery Virgnan was in of his sarcastic moods and wanted his little joke.
 But his jokes may yet produce long and mo- nentous Senate debate on the constitution. Just under the surface in the mind of every Senator there turks suspicion that he is the Webster or the Cal houn of time if he only got round to constitutional questions.
 It needs only casual beginning to turn the Sen- ate once more into forum for the debate of what the constitution means The talent may not measure tp to the years before the Civil War But there plenty of men on hand willing to talk on and on if the constitution becomes the topic of the day.

For Peace in Europe, Too

(New York Times)
 Some are criticzing President Roosevelt for not having been emphatic and explicit in offering American aid to maintain peace in Europe. Not one of his messages to the new Congress thus far has taken direct cognizance of the conditions abroad that threaten war. Not has proposed the coopera- tion of this Government in working for the various agreements and peace treaties proposed by France and Great Britain The menacing situation is, it is complained notorious It is full of peril for the United States as well as for the nations immediately con- cerned Yet the President has not called it to the earnest attention of Congress and the country.
 This is not fair statement of the whole case. The President has done much to throw the weight of his office in favor of European peace He has made it certain that his Administration, in accord with the manifest desire of the American people will do everything in it's power to keep this country out of war will go great lengths in putting such strain upon our neutrality that European beligerent hope to draw any form of supplies from the United States That of itself would make great difference with the plans of certain European nations They would know that the American Government would not simply take an attitude in moral condemnation of war but would do everything possible to render the aims and purposes of the war-makers difficult and dangerous. This part of the Administration policy is fixed and well known.
 The President has also shown by example where his sympahes lie Owing to his initiative and efforts the twenty-one republics of this continent have entered into treaties making resort to war dear almost impossible. In hailing this achievement, MT Roose- velt spoke of it not merely great blessing to the Americas but as blazing trail for European nations to follow. If they would only enter into similar series of peace agreements the United States would be delighted
 Not yet has promise been made to stand shoul- der to shoulder with them. That would be beyond the power of the President. But in every implied form of approval in every implicit readiness to CO., operate wherever possible the position of this Gov ernment has been made plain It is seeking peace and pursuing it not alone for it's people but for the benefit of all mankind

Horoscope ''The stars incline
 but do not compel"

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1887 This is a rather sinister day in planetary aspects, according to as- trology. The morning hours may be unsettling and even frustrating in their influence.
 Members of the learned profess sions and legislators are under a benefic rule.
 For those who recognize that a new era is in progress good fortune is indicated, but those who do not realize the need of readjustments may encounter obstacles to suc- cess.
 It has been repeatedly prophesied by the seers that old leaderes would close their careers and new men and women take their place. The spring is to realize this prediction.
 Astrologers who discover reac- tionary tendencies regard them as survivals of what is best in the past while they recognize the sig nificance of influence that appear destructive.
 Good feeling should be widespread among persons whose minds are re- captive to changing ideas and whose vision discerns hidden things. Amer jeans are to enjoy great benefits this year, it is forecast.
 Women in industry are under unfavorable aspects today and many may suffer through unjust dis elimination in favor of men. They should improve themselves so that they may win out through super efficiency.
 Too much talking is to be ap-' parent among men and women of every class. Today it is well to think much and to speak little.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of changes due to important decisions made more or less reluctant. New plans should be fortunate.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be strong -willed and per sistent. Subjects of this sign usu- ally reach great success through their own independent efforts.
 Benjamin Tallmadge, soldier and patriot, was born on this day 1754. Others who have celebrated this as a birthday include Enrico Caruso, singer; 1873; Camille Flummarion. astronomer, 1842; Frank Hall Thorp, chemist, 1864

CIGARETTES AND SENATOR'S

There will be various reactions from the reported decision by of the United States Senators to endorse cigarettes. But there is optimistic con- clusion facetiously arrived at by the New York Times which appears apropos. The Times remarks
 Senator Robert H. Reynolds has admitted giving a testimonial the throat-soothing qualities of certain brand of cigarette. Com ing from North Carolina chief grower and manufacturer of tobacco he upholds his a boost for home industry It is rumored that nine of his colleagues have given similar testimonials = at a thousand dollars each-which will soon blossom among the current advertisements
 Some, of course, may question the ethics, or at least the proprety, of such practice Others will regard the Senators merely as shrewd traders with eye to their pocket money Still others will wonder how they could bring themselves to stoop lower than the customary and traditional cigar. But
