Shooting- at Bonham.
Bonham, Aug. 15>—Last night
Bel don Daily was shot three times
in the chest with a shot gun, but it
failed to kill him. Dow Daily, his
brother, was arrested, charged with
the shooting. All parties were
negroes.
Troubled lor 15 Years.
"I have been a sufferer for over
15 years. After using Comet Pile
Remedy do not hesitate to state
that it is the best known remedy
for piles- I consider my money
spent for it more than well invest-
ed." F. L. Hyde, Canterbury,
Ct. For sale by Marschall &
Breckeen.
The usual enterprise of the Dal-
las News was displayed in its
Tuesday's edition' Besides the
newTs and miscelianeous items it
gave fairly good cuts of the con-
vention hall and all the candidates;
also the names of the county
deligates.
The war between China and
Japan is proving a great aid in the
study of grography. Nearly ail the
leading papers have charts of those
countries and lengthy articles on
the manners and customs of the
^people inhabiting them.
The most exciting time in the
state convention was in the adop-
tion of the majority report of the
committee on platform. That re-
port contained the financial plank
of the Chicago platform and a plear
cut endorsement of President
Cleveland.
When the United States Consti-
tution was under debate more than
100 years ago George Mason, _ of
Virginia, opposed the proposition
to have a Senate. The Senators,
he argued, would be citizens of
the capital rather than of their
States. "Will it not be then in
the power of the Senate," he ask-
ed, "to worry the House of Repre-
sentatives into anything? They
will be a continually existing body.
They will exercise those machina-
tions and contrivances which the
many have always to fear from the
few." Mr. Mason's remarke are
as pointed now as ever, perhaps
more so, in the light of recent ex-
perience.—Globe-Democrat.
There is no wonder that Shakes-
perian characters were applied to
certain senators in the great tariff
debate ending last Monday. For
the past month the dramatic char-
acter of the contest between the
upper and lower houses of Congress
has held the attention of the
American public as nothing else
on the boards has ever done be-
fore. The attitude of the sugar
trust and iron and coal monopo-
lists in saying to the house: "Thus
far thou come and no farther,'' and
the assault of the house, backed by
Cleveland, on that firm stand, was
intensely interesting. In the clos-
ing scenes on Monday, when
Bourke Cochran made his impas-
sioned speech contrasting the
scenes in the house last spring
when the enthusiastic democrats
bore chairman Wilson on their
shoulder in pride and joy over the
passage of the Wilson bill, to that
same chairman to-day, with bowed
head, asking the house to accept
the senate amendments, the climax
was reached. Before the last scene
came to a close, true to instinct the
jester of the house, from Maine,
arrayed in cap and bells, made his
appearance and said his smart little
speech, then the curtain dropped
and the tariff bill, with all the sen-
ate amendments intact, was ready
for the president's signature. Will
lie sign it?
U. M. Browder, populist candi-
date for congress from this the 5th
district, spoke to a fair sized audi-
ence at the city hall Wednesday
night. Mr. Browder is a middle
aged man of pleasing address and
has a fine voice for public speak-
ing, and speech received the clos-
est attention throughout. _ It was
argumentative and clothed in choice
language devoid of abuse except
when he referred to contemptable
2x4 lawyers and 1x2 editors of
county newspapers. He referred
to the Dallas convention as a body
who were trying te select a candi-
date for governor who could stand
on a monometalist and a free sil-
ver platform at one and the same
time, and contended there was not
a particle of difference between the
democratic and republican policies.
He asserted that Jesus Christ was
a populist to all intents and pur-
poses, for He was a friend to the
common people. His argument in
favor of governmental ownership of
railroads was the best we have
heard. He instanced the benefi-
cial effects to railroad systems
when placed in the hands of re-
ceivers, and that in Germany and
other countries owning the rail-
roads, the passenger fare was
cheaper than in the United States
and the roads were a source of in-
come to the government.

and Whitewright have received
their first bales.
As to Fire Insurance.
Since the big fire here on the
4th of July last there has been
more talk about the standing and
honesty of insurance companies
than was ever indulged in before.
Not saying the criticisms were un-
just, but in this as in all other
questions there are two sides. In
the first place a policy is a con-
tract between the insurance com-
pany and the assured, and a con-
tract implies conditions to be ob-
served by both parties. Some
policies have printed on them in
bold faced type: "Please read this
Policy and study its conditions."
The keeping of combustibles,
such as gun powder, kerosene oil,
or gasoline is prohibited without
a written permit from the com-
pany. Another condition: "The
assured will take a complete item-
ized inventory of btock, at least
once in each calendar year.
"The assured will keep a set of
books which shall clearly and
plainly present a complete record
of business transacted, including
all purchases, sales, and shipments,
both for cash and credit, from date
of inventory."
"The assumed will keep such
books and inventory securely lock-
ed in a fireproof safe at night, and
at all times when the building
mentioned in this policy is not
actually open for business, etc."
These last apply to stocks of
merchandise only, but show that
there are conditions to be observed
by both parties.
Insurance companies that
promptly comply with their obli-
gations, expect, and justly so, some
degree of premptness on the part
of the assured. Policies are some-
times paid that could not in fact
be collected by law, but it will not
not do to rely on this fact, for it is
not to the best interest, nor is it
the desire of insurance companies
to get into litigation, and when
they do you may rest assured they
have good grounds for the contest.
This is not written in the inter-
eat of the insurance companies, but
with the hope that our citizens
will look into the matter, and
when they take out a policy they
will see that they are insured in
fact as well as on paper, for it is
not unusual for a person to take
cut a policy and put it away with-
out reading it and rest secure in
the belief: "Well, I'm safe; ifl do
burn out I'm insured."
