Tennessee democrats will hold
their State convention in Nash-
ville on the 10th of next May.
In thirteen States in this Union
irrigation is wholly or for the
most part relied upon to produce
crops.
The campaign continues active
in the Philippines—fights and
skirmishes are of almost daily
occurrence.
The democrats of Rhode Island
have nominated a full State ticket
and intend to put up a strong
fight for its election.
' Doctors in Sweden never send
bills to their patients, the amount
of their remuneration being left
entirely to the generosity of the
latter.
Those French students who
battered down doors of the British
legations may yet be made to
pay dearly for their folly. A day
of reckoning will surely come.
Secretary Root has finally
arrived at the conclusion that the
Cubans are capable of self-gov-
ernment, and thinks they should
be entrusted with the experiment
—in the sweet bye-and bye.
Gen. Wheeler entertains rath-
er a favorable opinion of the
Filipinos for self-government and
thinks they should be given an
opportunity to experiment in the
matter at the earliest moment
possible.
The earnings of the Hamburg-
American steamship line for 1899
were 18,000,000 marks, an in-
crease of 4,000,000 marks over
the preceding year. Th* direc-
tors have decided to declare a
dividend of 8 per oent.
'Conditions are reported much
improved throughout the island
of Cuba; the people have return-
ed to their homes and are indus-
triously engaged in pursuing
their former occupations, sppar-
ently contented and happy.
Although cotton has now
reached the 91-2 cent mark the
producer, in very rare cases, has
received any benefit thereby—
the crop having passed out of the
hands of the produoer before the
advanee in prices was made.
Philadelphia has not yet suc-
ceeded in raising that tlOO,COO
so freely tendered to secure
the National Republican conven
tion for that eity. Perhaps, they
have come to the conclusion that
they are "paying too dear for
their whistle."

tEV. Leonard J. Oarveb, pas-
of a Congregational church
ind, Cal., has caused
amotion among his flock
and it the community generally
by taking part in a Cakewalk
given tyr the female adjunct of a
secret society. The reverent
gentleman was an unexpected
success in the eakewalk as far as
his fancy steps were conoerned

ready
honor and
to whieh
how the south expands.
On the 1st of February there
were seventy-three new cotton
mills in process of construction
in the south with 746,810 spindles
and a capital of $15,000,000. It
is estimated that during the month
of February 125,000 more spind-
les and a capital of $25,000,000
were added to this amount.
Moreover, great knitting plants
were proposed, and one factory
went to Newport News with 81,-
200,000 of Boston capital and
another to Statesville, N. C., with
82,000,000 capital, also from the
north. The effect of this transfer
of the manufacturing interests to
the south has been apparent in
the price of cotton and the great
demand for raw material grown
in the immediate neighborhood.
This is the sort of expansion
the south needs and stands for.
The south will find no interest at
all in that form of expansion
which will force their cotton man
ufacturer to move his mills to the
Philippines in order to get the
advantage of labor at 6 cents a
Jay.
AN "ENDED" WAR.
Within a week a dispatch from
the seat of the "late war in the
Philippines" showed that Gens.
Young and Howe at Appari was
asking for re-enforcements to re-
pel the "persistent attacks by
rebels." In another province 2,-
000 insurgents were under arms.
The enemy had burned the town
of Irriga, and 1,200 well-armed
insurgents surrounded two towns
garrisoned by the Forty-seventh
regiment, and in night attacks
killed eight and wounded twenty
of our soldiers—all this at the
very time that Otis and bis asso-
ciates were proclaiming that the
rebellion was ended and that
there were no longer any armed
forces of any kind in the islands.
It seeooB that every time a
cheering report comes from the
commander in the Philippines it
is necessary to send over three or
four thousand fresh troops—and
bring home a shipload of corpses.

TEXAS PRE8S COMMENT.
The entire outfit of Dr. Baird's
household effects, together with
wife and children, passed through
here by private conveyance—
some seven in number—on Thurs-
day for Green Vine, a small town
in Washington county, where the
doctor hangs out his shingle for
the future.—LaGrange Journal.

The military craze was strik-
ingly exemplified in New Orleans
recently, when a young lady of
good family married an impostor,
who claimed to be Capt. Clark.
People who will be duped in this
way deserve no sympathy. If
girls'are going to persist in ssll-
ing themselves in this fashion,
they should at least take the
precaution of requiring an ab-
stract of title before the purchase
is consummated.—Austin States-
man.

We doubt if there ever |was a
year in Texas when cattle came
through the winter in better con-
dition than the winter season just
about closed. There-have been
no die-ups to report from freezes
or blizzards in any section of the
state. As a rule the ranges have
been lightly stocked and cattle
ara now 'in most pastures' in
prime condition for this time of
the year and they will only re-
quire a few weeks of early spring
grass to make them rolling fat.
Providence has dealt kindly with
the Texas stockman the past year.

8enator Chilton and Congress-
man Bailey are both fairly well
known in this state. Under the
existing circumstances it would
seem that they should remain at
their respective posts of duty as
muoh as possible during the pres-
ent session. Mr. Bailey is ex-
peoted to begin his campaign for
senator soon. Mr. Chilton will re-
main a while longer discharging
his duties as a national lesisla-
tor—Alvarado Bulletin.
THE INCOME TAX.
Hon. W. J. Bryan in his Baton
Rouge speech defended the in-
oome tax and declared it to be
the most just of all taxes. He
advooated an amendment to the
constitution specifically authoriz-
ing an income tax, saying at
present the government in an
hour of peril can draft the citizen,
but cannot draft the pocketbook.
In an hour of peril the govern-
ment oan take the son from the
mother, the husband from the
wife and the father from the
child. It can stand them up be-
fore the enemy's guns, but in the
hour of danger it oan not lay its
hand upon accumulated wealth
and make that wealth bear its
share of the expense of govern-
meht.
The American Standard Oil
company, the most powerful trust
organization with which this
country is cursed, has reoently
disbursed $20,000,000 in divi-
dends to stockholders.
The door that Dantfc saw had this inscrip-
tion over it: " Despair of hope, all ye who
enter here." When' man despairs erf hope
he drains the very drees of despair.
There are certain forms of disease to
which medical ignorance and popular su-
perstition have given the title of "Hope-
less."'1 That very fact handicaps the suffer-
ers from such diseases by robbing them of
the courage to try to regain health. This ia
particularly true of lung diseases. As soon
as disease fastens on the lungs, the victim
sits down, makes his will, and awaits hia
fate. He wouldn't act that way if he were
bitten by a taran-
tula or a rattle-
snake. He'd fight
then for his life.
But he is tinder the

There is a new in-
