THE PANAMA CANAL.
Action in the direction of completing the
Panama canal is now likely to be speedy.
The personel of the commission has been
definitely settled, and there seems to ba
no legal obstacles in the way. The attor-
ney general has notified the president that
he is authorized to pay at ones to the re-
public of Panama the $10,000,000 stipulated
for by the treaty, the ratifications of
.which have just been exchanged, and that
he is also authorized to pay to the Pana-
ma Canal company the $40,000,000 which,
under the agreement between the United
States and the company, the former is to
pay for the property of the latter. The
Canal company has been notified that the
United States is ready to close the trans-
action, and, in the opinion of the attorney
general, the details in connection with ihe
transfer of the property should not re-
quire more than 30 days.
It does certainly look as it’ we would
get the canal and, that in a short time,
factual work would be commenced upon it.
(Galveston and all of Texas and the great
Southwest will undoubtedly be greatly
(benefited by its construction. On this point
|the Waco Times-Herald says:
Texas will be the chief beneficiary by
reason of the construction of this im-
portant waterway. The prediction is here
'Bet down that Galveston will double its
population during the next 10 years, with
steady growth thereafter. Every portion
.Of the state will make advances by reason
lof the fact that direct connection with the
Orient is assured. The value of the com-
merce of the eastern countries fronting
fan the Pacific aggregates about $600,000,000
per annum, the share of this country being
(one-sixth and constantly augmenting. It
is competant for Texans to be active par-
ticipants in this expanding commerce,
(once the canal is an accomplished fact.
In the last issue of the Commoner,
Bryan “takes a fall out of” Mr. Cleve-
land, Mr. Olney, Judge Parker and David
B. Hill, peremptorily ruling all of them
toff the track for the Democratic presi-
dential nomination. Against W. R.
Hearst, however, he hasn’t a word to
Bay. Inferentially, Hearst, in Bryan’s
himself he had chosen rather to take
chances wifh the law than to desert his
wives and children. As for that, there
w’as probably no need to desert them, as
he could have continued legally to make
provision for them without keeping up
the marital relations. But he need have
no fear of the state laws. There are
doubtless many polygamists in Utah, who
continue to live in polygamy in spite of
the law, and such is the state of public
opinion in that community that these
men are in no danger of prosecution,
much less of conviction. Public opinion,
at least on the part of the great ma-
jority, 'sustains them.
It just goes to show how readily false
rumors get about. The other day when
the kaiser sent a letter to the czar there
was great excitement in Europe for fear
that Germany was about to get into the
war game on the side of Russia. On the
other hand, it is stated that King Ed-
ward and the Russian ruler have ex-
changed letters, and the situation has
cleared. There is no reason to suspect
that Germany, France and England are
insincere in their protestations of absolute
neutrality.
Chicago university is to have a college
of domestic science, at which the noble
science of cookery will be taught in all
its branches. We should not be surprised
if the graduates were in high demand for
matrimonial engagements. How much
more elevating such studies are than that
ridiculous “sociology,” which takes up so
much of the time of the young women of
Vassar and other seats of learning! This
is real science; the other isn’t.
It is commonly believed in the north
that any white man can vote, and that
only negroes are denied the suffrage, in
southern states, says the New York Sun.
As a matter of fact, where the payment
of a poll tax in advance is required, as in
Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, many thousands of white men do
not vote at all, because they fail to pay
their poll taxes; in most cases they fail
because they are too shiftless.
Apparently the Australians spend their
holidays and Sundays chasing John
Alexander Dowie, the Zion leader, around
the block. What they will do to him if
caught is conjecture.

HIGHLY COMMENDABLE.
Fort Worth Record.
The plan of the passenger department
of the Southern Pacific to distribute in the
rural districts along its line the papers
and other publications received by it is
commendable in the extreme. The Record
has, several times gone on record in favor
of a system of traveling libraries, and
while the Southern Pacific scheme con-
templates nothing so far-reaching as we
have suggested, it is undoubtedly a move
in the right direction.

THE WEATHER.
LOCAL FORECAST.
Forecast for Galveston and vicinity:
Unsettled weather and probably rain to-
night and Friday; mild temperature;
fresh southerly winds.
LOCAL RECORD.
Temperature and precipitation record at
Galveston for 24 hours ending at 7 a. m.
this date:
Maximum temperature, 68 degrees;
minimum temperature, 61 degrees; mean
temperature, 64 degrees, which is 3 de-
grees above the normal; accumulated
'deficiency of temperature since first of
month, 1 degree; accumulated deficiency
of temperature since Jan. 1, 9 degrees.
Total precipitation, .00 inch, which is
topinion, is “just the ticket.” Yet Bryan
insists that the paramount issue in the
coming political contest shall be the
“moral” issue and that the Democratic
Campaign, shall be a “conscience” cam-
paign ! f
President Smith of the Mormon church
is no quitter at all events. He admits
that he is the husband of several wives
land that he continues to Jive with them.
As he puts it, he realized fully that he
was violating state law; that the mani-
festo of 1890 had left aim and others with
plu: al families in the unfortunate posi-
tion c ‘ ’■ sing obliged either to defy the
'S-w c•' families; and that for
.10 inch below the normal. Accumulated
deficiency of precipitation since first of
month, 83 inches; accumulated deficiency
of precipitation since Jan. 1, 5.62 inches.
SUMMARY OF WEATHER.
The storm is still very energetic and is
now central over northeastern Iowa.
Pressure is still low over the middle and
southern plateau region, but is increasing
over the northern Rocky mountain slope
and is moderately high over the south
Atlantic states. Light precipitation has
occurred over the Missouri valley, Arkan-
sas and Illinois. It is generally warmer
over the Mississippi valley and colder
over the Missouri valley and northern
and middle RSCky mountain slope.

POEMS WORTH REMEMBERING
Eliot Norton.

to spirit—
these
those
star-
of peasantry stock,
of Lady Byron, of
she was the noblest
Back of the canvas that throbs.
The painter is hinted and hidden;
Into the statue that breathes,
The soul of the sculptor is.bidden;
Under the joy that is felt,
Lie the infinite issues of feeling;
Crowning the glory revealed,
Is the glory that crowns the revealing.
Fair are the flowers and the children—
But their subtle suggestion is fairer;
Rare is the rose-burst of lawn—
But the secret that clasps it is rarer;
Sweet the exultance of song—
But the strain that precedes it is
sweeter;
And never was poem yet writ—r
But the meaning out-mastered the
meter.
Whatever your occupation may be, and however crowded your hours with
affairs, don’t fail t? secure at least a few minutes every day for the refresh-
ment of your inner life with a bit of poetry.—Prof. Charles
INDIRECTION
Richard Realf was born in Sussex, Eng., June 14, 1834,
and was but a year or two in school. He was the protege
whom he said: “With the exception of my mother, I think
woman I ever knew.” He was a soldier and patriot as well as a poet. Among
his early patrons, drawn to him by the marvelous development of the quality of
ideality, were Ada Byron, Rogers the poet, Mrs. Jameson, Miss Mitford, Miss
Martineau and Lady Jane Peel. He died by his own hand in Oakland, Cali., Oct.
29, 1878. Beside his couch, as it had fallen from his grasp, was found that tear-
eompeliihg poem, “De Mortals Nil Nisi Bonum.” He is buried in the soldiers’
plat of the Odd Fellows’ cemetery, San Francisco, Cali.
Never a daisy that grows—
But a mystery guideth the growing;
Never a river that flow’s—
But a majesty scepters the flowing;
Never a Shakespeare that soared—
But a stronger than he did enfold him;
Nor ever a prophet foretells—
But a mighties seer hath foretold him.
Space is as nothing
The deed is outdone by the doing;
The heart of the wooer is warm—
But warmer the heart of the wooing.
And up from the pits where
shiver,
And up from the heights where
shine,
Twin voices -and shadows swim
ward,
And the essence of life is divine.
Great are the symbols of being—
But that which is symboled is
greater;
Vast the create and beheld—
But vaster the inward creator;
Back of the sound broods the silence.
Back of the gift stands ^he giving;
Back of the hand that receives,
Thrill the sensitive nerves of receiv-
ing.

KILLED CHUM WITH HOT WATER.
Man Fatally Burned in a Turkish Bath,
Dresses and Walks Home.
Philadelphia, Pa., March 10.—James
Cleary of 444 North 4th street and James
Keefe of Brown street, his chum, went to
a Turkish bath in Vine street and got
into a friendly squabble in the wash
room.
Cleary picked up a bucket of cold water
and threw it over Keefe. Then Keefe
took an empty bucket, put it under a hot
water spigot and threw it oyer Cleary.
Cleary calmly put on his clothes and
walked home. An hour later the pain
from his burns became unendurable and
he .started to walk to a hospital, but was
met on the way by a policeman, who sent
him to the institution in a patrol wagon.
An hour later he died."

on the 6th day of December, 1845, before
Oscar FarlSh, Clerk of the County Court
of Galveston County, at said time. That
in making the certificate of acknowledg-
ment upon to said deed said Fa.rish, clerk
as aforesaid, signs the same and declares
and indicates his official character by the
letters C. C. G. C., using said letters as
abbreviations for the words “County Clerk
of Galveston County.” And plaintiff fur-
ther alleges that on or about the 25th dav
of June, 1847, said P. O. Grilliet executed
and delivered to one A. F. James and Os-
car Parish, as trustees, his certain deed
of trust upon the aforesaid Ih.ts to secure
his promissory note of $2850, due June 5th,
1848. to J. C. Kuhn, which said deed of
trust was recorded on. the 25th day of
June, 1847, in Book H, page 228, of the
records of Galveston, and that thereafter,
on August 15th, 1848, said P. O. Grilliet’
acting through his trustee, A. F. James’
and joined by said J. C. Kuhn, executed
a certain deed, whereby said property was
conveyed to Jessie Hammet; that in said
acknowledgment to said deed the same
are defective, notwithstanding the fact
that sajd two instruments of writing were
actually, validly and lawfully executed
and delivered; that by reason of said de-
fective acknowledgments as aforesaid, and
thereby the failure of the Record of Deeds
in Galveston county to show that all title
and interest which said P. O. Grilliet had
in and to said lots, passed out of him by
the aforesaid conveyances by regular chain
of title to plaintiff, and the death of said
P.. O. Grilliet, and the a.pparen. '
est which the heirs
Grilliet may have in ______ Vk,.,L
in fact do not have) by reason of said im-
perfect record constitute a cloud upon plain-
tiff’s title to said property. Plaintiff also al-
leges that he has full, complete and ab-
solute title to said property against all of
the defendants under the statutes of limi-
tation of five and ten years.
Wherefore plaintiff sues and prays for
judgment against all of said defendants
removing said cloud from his title, and for
all other further and general relief, etc.,
as is more fully set forth in petition filed.
Herein fail not, but have you then and
there, before said court, this writ, with
your return thereon, showing how you
have executed the same.
