What Jt Costs the Government
Whena Congressman Dies
Two days of the time of both
houses last week was lost because
of the death of Senator Kenna of
of West Yirginia It is very ex-
pensive business to the people
when a member of congress dies
during tho session The daily ex
pense of a session amounts to 28
000 and the two days that were
lost on account of the death of Mr
Kenna foot up to 56000 Bat
in addition to that congress pays
the expenses of the fnneral These
expenses vary materially running
as high in the case of Senator
Hearst of California as 25000
In the case of Senator Llnmb don
gross paid for transportation expeu
ses alone on account of his funeral
the sum of 1548 and the other ex
pensos amounted to over 1000
more But that is by no means all
of the expense Tho report of the
Rnblic Printer iust issued from the
government printing oflice 6hows
that merely tho cost of printing the
eulogies delivered in congress on
the late S S Corot Kow York was
10812 exclusive of the cost of dis
trihution But a day was wasted
when the eulogies wore delivered
Then in addition congress appro-
priates to the heirs of the deceased
the remainder of his salary for tho
term notwithstanding that another
senator is appointed who draws a
salary Figuring up these various
amounts we havo three days time
lost one when congress adjourns
on tho day ot the death second a
day for the innoral and third a
day for the eulogies
This amounts to 84000 If the
printing of tho eulogies should
amountto as much as in the case
of Mr Cox that would bring the
aggregate up te 94812 Adding
tho funeral expenses aud cost of
distributing the eulogies and of
making a steol engraving which is
always done and then adding the
remainder of the salary which is
always appropriated to the family
the total will not be less than 100
000 as the tax imposed upon the
people becanse a man dies while he
is a member of congress Con si d
ering that there were 14 deaths in
one jcongress some appreciation
can be had of the reckless waste of
public money in this Way And
when it is considered that many im-
portant measures aro practically de-
feated by this unnecessary waste of
time the pressing need cf reform
in this matter will become still
more apparent

Tobacco Culture in Texas
Galveston News
Every year brings to light as tha
result of the expiremeut now pos-
sibilities for the productive energy
of north Texas In fact nothing
in tha vegetable ivorld except what
exclusively belongs to equatorial
regions has ever failed to grow in
this section when suitable culture
was employed The latest result
of experiment is the successful
growth of tobaeco the producer be-
ing Mi Oeorge Myers sr who
resides between William and Porter
streets west of the Trunk railroad
Mr Myers when young raised to-
bacco in Switzerland but like near
lyeverybody who came to Texas
lie did not think the condition here
were favorably to that staple be-
cause he did not find it growing in
Texas He however in the spring
of 1891 thought he would experi-
ment vn his his little farm inside
of the city limits and among other
things he put an acre in tobacco
From this acre he harvested a ton
of the weed that too without the
care or economic management that
characterizes tobacco culture as a
rule In 1892 ho put in two acres
equally in Havana and Connecticut
seed which yielded three tons of to-
bacco at the rate of a ton an acre
To a News reporter he said jester
day The tobacco has hronght
me about 10C0 an acre and that
too without fertilization or extra
cultivation What is more 1 claim
that the Havana seed has turned
out as good tobacco in point of
aroraa and everything else as the
beet Havana tobacco Here is x
sample cigar loosely wrapped up
Try it
The cigar had a delicions flavor
which was recogiizsd by bystan-
ders Continuing Mr My trs said
Iassert without foar of contradic-
tion that Texas will prevc the great-
est tobacco raising state in the
union
3n ITnpmrdonable Offense
A yaung woman condemns liar
self in tho eyes of good eociety
who i 6 observed te entar alone with
a young man a place tor pnblic re-
freshment be the restanrant or tea-
room ever so select Bred under
other conditions of a society so na
cessarily varying as that in our
broad America a stranger visiting
New York for instances might
readily and innocently make a mis-
take of this nature and blnsh at
finding herself condemned for it
In the same category of offenses s
ranked that of maidens visiting
places of public amusement under
the escort of young men alone
Many parts of the South and West
allow tlm to bo done with the
smiling consent of good society
but in Eastern cities it iB consider
cd a violation of the code of good
form and for the comfort if not
the convenience of the girl eonsid
ering it had better be ranked
among the loit privilages upon
which social evolution may look
bmk with fondj regret Republic
