Secretary of War Lamont says excellent
progress is being made in the matter of
providing coast defenses, but insists that
the work is not being expedited in antici-

country. Nevertheless, it is well to be pre-
pared in case anything should happen.
The legislators chosen at the recent elec-
tion will have a good deal to engage their
attention when they assemble at Austin,
and they are probably giving some heed
now to the suggestions being offered by
the state papers, chief among them being'
a suggestion for the complete reformation
or total abolition of the iniquitous fee
system.

The Democratic party recovered from
the Greeley Republican fusion experiment
of 1872, and it may recover from the
Bryan Populist fusion folly of 1896, but it
can only be through a return to reason and
courage now, as after the 1872 disaster.

AN OLD TIME ROMANCE.
Depew Tells What He Ought to Be to the
, Community.
I know of no more charming member of
the community than the old lawyer, says
Chauncey Depew. I Studied with a judge
who, as I left his office, had completed the
86th year of his life and the 65th year of
his practice. The old lawyer is the cus-
todian of the secrets of the community. If
he has been true to his profession and to
his best instincts and teachings, he has
been the benefactor ofthe village or the
town or the county in which he has spent
his life. He has settled family disputes, he
has reconciled heirs to the provisions of
wills, he has adjusted satisfactorily to all
and to the prevention of family feuds the
distribution of estates, he has prevented
neighborhood vendettas on boundary lines,
he has brought old time enmities into cor-
dial friendships, he has made clients and
money by being honest, faithful and true.
The secrets of his register, of his safe and
of his memory are the skeletons of the
family closets of the whole neighborhood.
But the process of modern cremation does

One afternoon late in May, in the year

Memphis Scimetar.
In the six years of the present owner-
ship of the Scimetar the paper has been
engaged in a number of hard political
fights, local, state and national, and it has
not come out loser in a single instance up
to this good hour. In the campaign just
closed, the Scimetar, for the first time in
its history, broke away from the Demo-
cratic organization and supported the Re-
publican state and national tickets. The
reasons were given without reserve when
the step was taken. The Scimetar was
convinced that the welfare of the nation,
the state and the city of Memphis de-
pended upon the defeat of Bryan. Thus
convinced, it could not choose but oppose
his election. For similar reasons it op-
posed the Democratic candidate for gov-
ernor. This was a startlingly new depart-
ure for a southern newspaper to take, and
it was bitterly resented by the supporters
of Bryan and Taylor. They have been
loud in their abuse of the paper and have
done all they could to injure its business.
In this design they have been as badly de-
feated as they were in the election. There
are among them some whose good will the
Scimetar would value, because they are
good citizens, though for the last few
months under an evil spell. There are
others among them whose ill will the
Scimetar esteems a compliment. They
are of the class, to be found in every com-
munity, whose opposition to any cause

SUNDAY TRIBUNE.
Each purchaser of The Sunday Tribune
will receive a copy of the Saturday even-
ing edition.
Nothing from the Saturday evening edi-
tion is repeated in the Sunday edition.
Hence Sunday purchasers, who are not
regular readers, would miss much inter-
esting news. For their benefit the Sat-
urday evening edition is inserted.
Regular readers receive both papers and
so do not need to have Saturday evening’s
news repeated.

Free and unlimited coinage of silver is
one thing, bimetallism is quite another.
Don’t get them confused. Better still,
don’t talk about either until the country
gets its second wind.
There have been several tables of the
next senate printed in various metropoli-
tan newspapers, based upon the election
results in the several states in which
United States senators are to be chosen
the coming winter and the party align-
ment of the hold over senators, but the
tables vary according to the political pre-
delection of the newspapers in which they
are printed.
In one of the many tables the political
divisions are thus given: Gold Republi-
cans 36, silver Republicans 13, gold Demo-
crats 8, silver Democrats 24, silver Popu-
lists 8. Total silver senators 45, total gold
senators 44, with 1 (Senator Mills of
Texas) doubtful.
If this estimate were correct, it would
at least make the senate uncomfortably
close upon a question which the recent
election ought to have definitely settled, if
the will of the majority means anything.
However, there are uncertain contests in
some of the states which are to choose a
senator this winter, and later tables may
make a different showing.
| SOME RAMBLING p
| THOUGHTS |
(copyrighted.) By “NEMO.” g
It seems a peculiarity of youth to envy,
to grow dissatisfied because some other
person is apparently better supplied with
pleasures. Youngsters, this is because
you are not grown enough spiritually to
understand life. Tell me if your old people
grow morbid at another’s success. They
certainly do not, if they are normal; for
the older we grow the more fully do we
realize that “all is not gold that glitters;”
and that there is a seamy side to the most
expensive wardrobe. As the years roll by
we learn to look at things from others’
points of view, instead of looking from
within outward and judging things good
or ill just according to whether we feel
happy or depressed. A faint recollection
comes to me of a metaphor that is ad-
mirably suited to us young folks. If we
take in its full meaning it can make our
lives more effective and beautiful; since
it is a certainty that while we envy and
covet we obstruct our own progress as
effectually as sand obstructs navigation.

AN ORDINANCE amending article 494 of
the Revised Ordinances of the city of
Galveston.
Sec. 1. Be it ordained by the city council
of the city of Galveston that article 494 of
the revised ordinances of the city of Gal-
veston be and the same is hereby amended
so as hereafter to read as follows:
Article 494. The sidewalks of the said
city of Galveston shall be 16 feet wide,
and it shall not be lawful for any person
or persons to obstruct or encumber the
same in any manner whatever by goods,
wares or merchandise of any kind, and
merchants, shop keepers and other persons
are required to move the goods, wares and
all other objects which might obstruct or
encumber -the sidewalks into their houses,
yards or other places, under a penalty of
$5 for every day such obstruction or encum-
brance shall exist; provided, any mer-
chant, shop keeper or other person occu-
pying and doing business in any house in
this city shall be allowed four feet of the
inner sidewalk fronting such house for the
shelter and display, but not for the sale,
of such goods, wares and merchandise as
is sold or dealt in by such person within
said houses under regular license issued to
them by the city; and, provided further,
that molasses and all such articles of mer-
chandise as are subject to leakage or es-
cape shall not be kept, sheltered or stored
on the sidewalks or in such position as to
permit the contents of barrels or packages
to escape upon the sidewalk or into the
gutters, under a penalty of $5 for every
day that such, prohibited keeping or stor-
age continues. ««.
Sec. 2. That this ordinance take effect
and be in force from and after the 1st day
of January A. D. 1897.
Read first time Oct. 5, 1896. Read second
time Nov. 2, 1896, and passed.
This ordinance not having been approved
nor disapproved by the mayor in the time
prescribed by law, became a law in com-
pliance with sec. 16 of the charter.
G. BOWDEN SETTLE, City Clerk.
The tensile strength of Austrian gun
iron is 30,000 to 38,000 pounds per square

Swedish, about 34,000 pounds.
There is to be such an investigation of
alleged election frauds in Tennessee as
promises to lay bare the whole miserable
system by which the voters of that state
have been robbed of their suffrage and
the verdict at the polls reversed by the
tricksters who are given access to the
ballot boxes.
The Memphis Scimitar says that already
accredited and responsible agents have
been at work gathering testimony such as
will be necessary whenever the business is
brought before the proper tribunal, and
that there is no doubt that those who have
undertaken the work will be able to make
out a full case.
The contest is presumed to be not only
for the governorship and members of con-
gress, but for the electoral vote, and that
the fight will be of greater magnitude and
of much more importance to the country
at large than a mere state matter. It is
not that the Republicans need the elec-
toral vote of Tennessee, but that there is
a determination to break up the dishonest
methods that have so long prevailed in
certain election precincts, and a belief
that now is the best time to do it.
Success to the effort.

Before long they espied the well known

Pausing before the door they knocked
loudly with mailed hands.
“What, ho, there!”
The form of mine host soon appeared,
and he conducted the knightly travelers,
with many bows, to the board, and ordered
the medieval. help around the place to
groom the steeds and care well for them.
The younger man threw himself into a
wide chair by the fireplace.
“Fetch us hither a venison pasty!” he
commanded in a loud voice, in reply to the
inquiries of mine host.
Digging his dagger into it, both fell to.

It Was Built by Mistake on Canadian
Land and Thus Won Its Name.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Gen. Miles has recently recommended
the fortifying of a number of our sea ports
and the enlargement of some of the posts
along our frontier. One of these is Fort
Montgomery, that stands at the outlet of
Lake Champlain. The mentioning of this
long forgotten old fort recalls a queer fact
connected with its beginning, and long ago
forgotten. In 1841 it was decided to build a
large post at the entrance to Lake Cham-
plain, and work was begun on Fort Mont-
gomery, as it was called. After a good
deal of work had been done it was found
that the walls of the fort were over the
lines dividing the United States and Can-
ada. Work was stopped and a survey
made and part of the work was torn down.
Later on it was ascertained that part of
the walls of the post were still over the
dividing line. An agreement was made
with the English government which gave
to the United States that part built upon,
and the outline of the old fort was com-
pleted, but as these mistakes had caused
so much trouble the post was nicknamed
“Fort Blunder.” Work was stopped on
the old post at the breaking out of the
late war, and since that time it has been
under the charge of an ordnance sergeant.
Soon work will be resumed, and if the rec-
ommendations of Gen. Miles are carried
out the old post will be converted into the
largest and most strongly armed post in
the country, as it is the intention of the
general to have a large number of the
largest guns made by our ordnance de-
partment to protect the entrance to the
lake, on which a few miles below, is lo-
cated Plattsburg barracks, one of the
posts of our Canadian
“Farmer” Shaw is one of the most rad-
ical of the free silver advocates, or was
while that issue was before the people,
and he fought the “plutocrats" with all
the power at his command while the cam-
paign waged, but now that the election is
over he believes in giving the dominant
party a chance to see what it can do.
He says: “Texas Farmer trusts that,
even if the Democrats have enough force
in either house of congress to impede the
Republicans, it will not be determined
upon. By a million votes they have been
given power. By more than millions of
pledges they have promised prosperity.
Now, give them a clear track. Let them
go to their fullest bent. It is due them
that no barriers be placed in their path-
way.”
“Farmer” Shaw’s paper indorsed
Speaker Reed’s action in counting a quo-
rum when obstructive members sought to
impede legislation by refusing to answer
to their names, and his was about the only
Democratic newspaper in the country that
did so at the time, so “Farmer” Shaw is
consistent now in claiming that the vic-
torious party should have right of way
and a clear track, and if the country is not
satisfied with its conduct there will be
another revolt in 1898, such as there was in
1890.

Life is arranged somewhat as follows:
Each of us travels a narrow road from
the cradle to the grave—a road of expe •
riences, pleasurable and pitiful, that no
other living being ever has traveled or
ever will, for no two lives exactly agree
in ways and works and woes. Scattered
all along this narrow road are toll gates,
whereat, for further progress, we have
to surrender this and that and the other
thing, and it is these toll gates that make
us anxious to enjoy the lot of our neigh-
bor, whose head we see bobbing pleasantly
along in his own narrow roadway, just
shut off from us by a shoulder high fence.
If we were only raised high in spiritual
perception we should see that his way was
fully as. beset as ours with toll gates,
many of them calling for Sacrifices that we
should shrink from, and, after seeing,
should turn from, to pay eagerly our own
little toll of a less harrowing character.
* * *
Thus goes life, and wise is he who
spends no time in repining over joys that
have been and are gone, or in yearning
for a life that would be pleasant but may
not ever be. Shedding idle tears over spilt
milk when our supply of fodder and meal
is plentiful to nourish the stock that fur-
nishes the milk is on a par with beating
our hands against our neighbor’s fences
and in an agony crying to God fo give us
their lot. We know not what we ask. If
our neighbor’s heart were bare to us, he
would be found, unless he were philosophi-
cal, possibly ready to give up all the ad-
vantages we envy in him, for only a taste
of the simple pleasures he detects, or
thinks he detects, in our more obscure life.
Tut, tut! to grow wan over what we can
never be will be as fatal to us as the at-
tempt of the bullfrog to equal the ox in
size. Plodding is what we must content
ourselves with. The duty well done today
is the solid ground for the stop- forward
tomorrow.- The gradual process of accre-
tion whereby the ant builds the ant heap
must.be our method. A weary road? Cer-
tainly at times; for (this is a truth) the
future always seems long. But when by
patient performance of the simple every
day duty we at last reach some faint en-
joyment of the pinnacle that once towered
before us as worthy of ambition, the past
will seem strangely short, and we shall
ask ourselves why we ever grew impatient.
* t *
Every life, great or small, good or bad,
has to bow before the unyielding law of
sacrifice. No single thing is gained in any
direction except by the giving up of some-
thing that seems estimable in itself. Lib-
ertines and ascetics; wicked women and
wise; men of business and ministers; and
all other classes that you can name, meet
the inexorable necessity of judging things
to be either major or minor in importance,
and then surrender the minor in order to
enjoy the major. Do I really mean that
butterflies of fashion, mere pleasure seek-
ers, lawless ones of every stripe, make
sacrifices? Emphatically I do; the moth
fluttering around the lamp gives up the
fresh coolness of the restful night, be-
cause the scorching light attracts it more;
the libertine rushes to destruction despite
the tender hand of the mother whose
breasts sustained his infant life, despite
the quiet and honorable paths opened on
either side of him, despite the curses and
the agony of those women whom he has
wronged, but from whose upbraidings he
turns to seek fresh victims of his passion.
Truly he sacrifices! Yes, upon his altar
everything of beauty and sweetness is
scorched up, while' things of tinsel remain,
for he esteems the tinsel most supremely.
In Lowell’s “Vision of Sir Launfal” (I
write where the book is inaccessible) some
lines express.this thought:
“In the devil’s bauble shop
All things are bought and sold.
For every ounce of dross
We pay an ounce of gold.”
You readers can carry out this suggested
line of thought indefinitely and you will
find “giving up” everywhere. To excel in
one direction you need to turn your back
on the roads that lead in another. Civili-
zation and savagery both are based upon
it. The freedom from care and the simple
life of the savage can not be ours; nor can
our complicated social life, our arts, our
sciences, our progress be his. Government
can not be ours unless we sacrifice to sus-
tain it; the crowded cities can not be pleas-
ant dwelling places unless the dwellers
therein continually “give up” this or that
evident personal right for the good of all.
* * *
Now, then, sacrifice the air castles,
dreams and envyings that too often oc-
cupy your heart and exhaust its energy;
then yield yourself to common sense and
contentment.
You can not travel any other person’s
way of life; stop longing to do so.
You can not travel your own way more
than once; stop wasting your opportuni-
ties.
You can not live without wielding an in-
fluence; then without fail let that influ-
ence be good.
You can not be a friend of your race
unless you share those things of good that
you gain.
“The holy supper is kept, indeed,
In whatso we share with another’s need,
Not what we give, but what we share—
For the gift without the giver is bare;
Who gives himself with his alms feeds
three—
Himself, his hungering neighbor, and
Me.”

A NEGRO POET.
The Tribune reproduces from Current
Literature two specimens of dialect verse
from the pen of Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
the negro poet of Georgia. There could
hardly be any higher tribute to Malindy’s
vocal accomplishments than is contained
in the homely praises of the poet, who
supposes that—
Robins la’ks apd all dem things
Heish dey mufs an’ hides dey faces
When Malindy sings.
And who is moved to tears by the pathos
of her rendering of “Rock of Ages.”
And the tribute to the co’n pone is such
as only one who has lived on a southern
farm and has tasted the delicious prod-
uct of the colored “mammy’s” culinary
skill can fully appreciate.
The most ardent admirer of the
candidate for favor in the field of litera-
ture would hardly call these dialect verses
poetry, yet there is in them so much
music, such spirited movement and gen-
uine touch of nature as evidences some-
thing closely akin to, if not quite the
divine afflatus. It is something more than
talent, nothing less than genius, which
these verses show.
