TY-SIXTH YEAR
HOW THEY VOTED.
The Chicago Record closed its
voting contest on the silver ques-
tion last Monday. No vo*e was
taken except from a registered
▼oter.
The total number of votes cast
was 12,936.
For free coinage. 8028.
For gold standard, 4908.
Majority for free coinage of sil-
ver, 3120. Of the total numliei
253 were women.
The women voted 100 for and
63 against free eoinage.
Many of the wealthy merchants
of Chicago voted and were pretty
equally divided on it. It is the
judgment of well informed men on
l>oth sides that Chicago would
vote for free coinage by a good
majority if it were submitted to a
popular vote.
The Record comments on it as I policy.

of
CARLISLE IN KENTUCKY.
It may be that Sec.etary < ar- our thanks to tbe ('iti/e,,s
lisle has carried Kentucky for the I Ga,nesville for their open homes,
gold standard. Rut if so he has ! "^tinted hospitality and ceaseless
done it by giving the state to the | energy manifested toward all dur-
I ing our recent Christian conven-
tion. Our delegates left with
republicans. He was importuned
by many of the l>est democrats in
the state to allow them to simply 1>raises of al1 and we remaiu with

If this is done enough
the silver question which have
l»een brought out very clearly by
the Record's test vote, which
closed last evening at (» o'clock.
In the first place, the silver
isHue is not a sectional issue. It
is not a question of the east
against the west or of the cities
against the country. The advo-
cates and the opponents of free
silver coil age are found wherever
men dwell within the Inmndaries
of the United States. The silver
question is a national issue; or,
more properly, an international
issue.
In the second place, the issue is
not one lietween different classes
GOOD SPIRITS
If the firm silver men capture the
convention enough gold men will
vote with the republicans to de-
feat the democratic nominees.
Mr. Carlisle's great reputation
in Kentucky has been supplement-
ed by the popularity of General
Buckner, who came out squarely
for the gold standard, carrying
with him Watterson and the
Courier-Journal. Every paper in
the state of any note was with
Carlisle.
Against this formidable array
Joe Blackburn has made a des-
perate tight with the result still in
doubt.

her people.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts 110 figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
LAWS.
The laws of Texas are made for
j her own people and are the most
i liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col-
j lection laws the most lenient to be
j found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
I against misfortune, but give the
; family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
! ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
' of the protection which the state
I throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
l>e its duty, to protect by law from
j forced sale a certain portion of the
(personal property of all heads of
| families, and also of unmarried
j adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall l>e and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and materia!
used in constructing improve-
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the w ife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such r. ort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. * * * *"
the wages
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 10 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of litis
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any tiade or
profession. The family 1 > .u y
