Altbough Congress is not yet
well organized, there has been
4000 bills introduced and the prob-

4000 more during the session:
Mr. Miller introduced a bill to
reimburse the state of Texas under
the act of dune 21, 1860, for $12,-
354,451, expended for frontier de-
fense before tbe war. This is dis-
tinct from the claim now pending
before the treasury department,
and which state Senator Pope has
been representing, the latter being
for money expended for frontier
defense since the war.
The Washington Post, which is
understood to represent the Car-
lisle - Movrisou element of the
Democratic party, had an editorial
this morning stating that the poli-
cy of the present leaders of the
House is a thorough revision of the
tariff, and that the ways and means
committee was constituted with a
view to beginning the work at
once.
The gallaries of the House were
filled this morffiing in expectation
that Governor Curtin would make
a speech declining the chairman-
ship of the committee on banking
and currency and giving his rea-
sons for so doing. If he declines
Mr. Miller, of Texas, will succeed
to the cbaii maps hip, being second
on that committee.
The friends of silver, in the
House are becoming very impa-
tient to get in their say on the
question, and the programme to-
night is to get the committee of
the whole to-morrow to discuss it.
If this is done Judge Reasau will
be one of the first speakers.
The secretary of the interior,
in response to applications of set-
tlers in New -Mexico to have the
tract of land known as the Nolan
grant No. 89 restored to the public-
domain, has m .de a decision fa-
vorable to their applications,
which throws open to settlement
576,0C0 acres of land.
In the executive session of the
Senate to-day nearly 500 nomina-
tions were reported from the com
miitee, chiefly postmasters-
The report of the Senate com-
mittee on Territories to accom-
pany the bill for the admission of
the state of Dakota into the Union
and the organization of the Ter-
ritory of Lincoln, reported by Mr.
Harrison to-day, covers more than
100 pages of manuscript in addi-
tional to its voluminous printed
appendices. It says the main
propositions of the t ill is that the
proceedings taken bj^ the people
of that part of the present Terri-
tory of Dakota lying south of the
torry-sixth parallel of north lati-
tude, which resulted in the adop-
tion ofa constitution by a popular
vote on tne third day of May, 1885,
shall be accepted and ratified by
Congress and the state of Dakota
be admitted to the Union on au
equal footing with other States.
Anent the frequently made
charges of adulteration iq alcoho-
lic liquors, M. Girard, chief of the
Municipal Laboratory of Paris, puts
“French brandy” under a serious
cloud. He declares that almost no
genuine brandy is now manufact-
ured iu France. From 1840 to
1850 about 25,000,000 gallons were
made yearly, and fully seven-
eights of it came from grapes. At
present more than 50,000.t 00 gal-
lons are yearly turned out, but not
1 per cent of it is from the grape;
grain, cider, beets, potatoes, etc.,
forming its priecipal sources.
“The spiiits thus obtained,” says
M. Girard, “would be fairly whole-
some if they were properly recti-
fied. But they are not.” Invaria-
bly when put upon the market they
are charged’with acids, ethers a d
essential oi'sof the most deadly
nature. To tho consumption of
such stuff, instead ot the pure
giapr brandy of former year, M.
Girard attributes the startling in-
crease of violent insanity and oth-
er maladies in France, iu which he
is probably correct.

AVaco, Tex., Jan. 11.—This was
the day set fur the meeting of the
state executive committee of the
National Labor Greenback party
of Tt-xas. Dr. J. D. Rankin,
chairman of the committee, was
the fi»st man to put in an appear-
ance. In his pocket he carried
tho proxies of five of the members,-
residing in various portions of the
state, who were unable to come in
person. By noon he was joined
by Messrs. .Still, of Austin, McCaf-
fry of Texarkana, and Singer of
Marlin, all members of tho com-
mittee, which, including the five
proxies held by Dr. Rankin, made
a full quorum of the committee.
An informal meeting was held at
8 p. m., and another at 8 o’clock
to-night, I>ut no business of impor-
tance has been rransacted, nor will
there be until to-morrow.
A number of papers throughout
the State have noticed the Post’s
editorial-of a few days ago urging
that candidates for State offices
should make a canvass before the
meeting of the State nominating
and not after, and all favorably.
A nomination by the'Democratic
party in Texas is equivalent to an
election, therefore a canvass after
nomination is “love’s labor lost.”
Furthesmore, when no canvass is
made before the primaries to elect
delegates to the State convention,
the people know nothing whatever
of tbe politics or views of the can-
didates, and are therefore unable
to express to their delegates their
desires as to their action. It sim
ply becomes a matter of pipe-lay-
ing and wire-working on the part
of candidates and personal prefer-
ence on the part of the delegates.
This, too, ofren leads to the choice
of the “dark horse,” who is not
satisfactory to any one. We know
that more than pne candidate for
Governor has been nominated who,
to accept the nomination, had to
accept, too, a platform he did not
in his heart and judgment endorse,
and when time came for him to ad-
minister the affairs of the State he
was very liable to forget the be-
hests of that platform—some of
them at least. If this idea is not
carried into effect for all candi-
dates for State offices, it ought to
be, at least, for candidates for
Governor and United States sena-
tor. The people should demand
of every man who aspires to be
Governor of this great State to
take the hustings in advance and
let his principles and the politics
he favors for the State be^known,
so that they can choose between
according to their will, which
should be sovereign iu fact as well
as in theory. It is pretty well un
derstood at this time, that there
will only be two candidates for the
nomination for Governor, Captain
W, J. Swain, the present Compt-
roller of the State, and General
Sul Ross, of MeLennrn county.
There may bo dark horses geeing
and hawing first for one and-then
for the'other, with the hope of'
locking the convention under~the
two-thirds rule, with the hope of
slipping in for tho nomination
themselves, but the people do not
want any such maneuvres to win.
Let these two pronounced candi-
dates take the field, either togeth-
er in joint discission or singly, as
they may please, and, meeting the
people all over the State, enunci-
ate their platforms, give utterance
to the policies they think best for
the State, annouuce themselves on
the issues already involved, and
let it be understood that one or
the other is to be nominated, tbe
one showing tbe least strength,
after a fair test in the convention,
to step down and out of the other's
way. Of course if there are other
aspirunts let them take the stump,
too, and press their claims before
the people, and not in secret cauc-
uses with bargains and trades at
tie convention. Let the dark
horse iniquity be forever stamped
out of existence, and this the only
way to do it.—Houston Post.

AVashington, Jan. 9.—Signal
office officials here say the snow
storm reported from various posts
during the past few days is the
most extensive and severe that h;is
occnred in ten years. Very cold
weather and storms have prevailed
not only in the northwest and
northeast, but in the south. The
weather is unprecedently severe
at Montgomery, Ala. It was only
eight degrees above zero this

AYaco, Jan. 11.—The case of in-
cest mentioned in these dispatches
about ton days ago, where a broth-
er and sister in the western part
of this county were the sinning
parties, has culminated in the birth
of a child, aud nature, as if by put-
her seal of condemnation upon the
crime, decreed that the infant
should never seethe face of the
mother who bore it, for the child
was born blind. The brother who
debauched his sister, is believed
to have left the country. The
young woman, when her sin was
discovered, was engaged to be
married tc a young farmer living
near her.
A Texan with a pistol stands as
little show in Hew York as the
traditional cat in sbeol without

the cow-boy caper in Gothom and
slightly wounded a woman while
flourishing bis revolver, was sent

sentencing him the judge said:

like you come from Texas or any
other place armed with loaded re-
volvers to use on the slightest
provocation, they must expect no
no mercy.”
A woman was in disguise and
was fleeing from some crime she
had committed. She was travel-
ing in a stage-coach and stopped
at a country rnn- The travelers
alighted, and the supposed man got
out with the others. All went to

porch. A man was sitting leaning
against the post of the porch. He
was watching the woman in dis-

Georgetown, Tex., Jan. 10.—
Hon. A. W. Terrell was in town a
few days ago and when your re-
porter asked him about the sena-
torial business he said he was not
doing anything towards his nomi-
nation, but—. He said he had
noticed some of the press was
talking him up and he would like
to see the Northwest champiou of
Fort Worth I.lowing its bazoo for
him. He evidently knows where
the weight is.
Our town has shipped nearly
10 000 bales of cotton this season.
Brenham, Tex., Jan. 10.—At 3:14
this evening a fire was discovered
in the store of J. S. Newbouer &
Bro., one of the largest dry goods
firms in the city. Their store was
in the Gidding building, near the
court-house square. The firemen
responded promptly to tho alarm
of fire and held the flames in check.
At 5 o’clock the danger was over
and the fire extinguished. The
stock ot goods was valued at $100,-
000. The entire stock is badly
damaged. Nothing was saved.
The damage is estimated at 90
cents on the dollar. The insurance
on the stock of goods is $35,000.
The origin of the fire is yet un-
known.
that Bishop Robertson would not
grant Jardine a hearing of his
case. This had some effect upon
Jardine and he manifested consid-
erable feeling, repeatedly declar-
ing his innocence of the charges
for which he bad been tried and the
justice of his* demand 'for a new
trial, but when Father Betts and
Mr. Harrison left about 1 o’clock
this morning it was not tboaght
that Jardine was seriously dis-
turbed. When Father Betts ar-
rived at the church early this
morning he observed Mr. Jardine
still in bed, but did not disturb
him and went on with his early
services. Later the sexton of the
church went to the vestry-room to
wake Mr. Jardine and found him
in a sleep and breathing heavilj^.
He immediately called Deacon
Dyer, assistant to Father Betts,
who on entering the room detec-
ted chloroform and at once sent
for a physician. On the a:crivjil of
the doctor they di^oovei^d^that
Mr. Jardine had taken chloroform
and immediately adopted vigorous
measures to restore him,.but after
three hours’ continuous effort they
were obliged to announce that the
reverend gentleman was dead.
The coroner was notified, and,
after heading all obtainable testi-
mony, a verdict of suicide by
chloroform was rendered. The
body was prepared for burial, and
now lies in the vestry-room. It
will be taken to Kansas City for
iuterment. The fact of the suicide
was known to but few during the
day and received no public an-
nouncement until the coroner re-
ported the case late to-night. The
case is likely to create a great sen-
sation in church circles, as Mr*
Jardine is said to have been very
popular in his denomination.
Newark, N. J., Jan. 10.—A ten-

The London Times publishes
Sir George Bird wood’s observa-
tions on the use of opium and
alcohal in China. The conclusions
drawn from these observations are,
chiefly, that opium smoking is, in
itself, absolutely harmless, and, so
far as the Chinese are concerned,
wherever the practice has prevail-
ed, it has served to completely en-
tice them away from the use of
alcoholic drinks; that though
opium taken internally is a pow-
erful and dangerous narcotic stimu-
lant, it is no worse in the effects
produced bjr excessive use, than
alcohol; that a prohibition of opi-
um would probably lead the Chi-
nese to a resumption of intoxicant
liquors; that alcohol acts with
doubly destructive force in tropi-
cal climates, and with terrible
rapidity, its victims being almost a
constant source of danger to
others, which latter is rarely the
4 p. m. to-day. The city ordinance

the really direful effects of using
opium in excess are developed
almost exclusively among those
who, by some weakness or injury
of tbe brain, or by ehrcnic disease
or unfavorable circumstances, are
predisposed to excess.
The whole matter resolves it-
sMf into one of experience and
common senee. The tendency of
Americans is to run before they
walk. They rush into trades and
tie themselves down to business be-
fore they have their physical
growth. American young men
have balance sheets of their own
before they have eitnera razor or
a frock coat. They are so eager to
get rich that they do not stop to
see the price they pay for riches.
In France, iu England, in Germany
countries that have produced the
greatest men the world has ever
seen, it is nei er customary for men
to enter the business world until
they are thirty. Dr. AYoodward
and his sect should let the Ameri-
can youth first lay a broad founda-
tion, let him study books until he
is eighteen or twenty, learn a trade
or a business by the time he is
twenty-five or twenty-six, and he
will be far more likely to reach
old age, honor and a competency.

The abuse of Land Commission-
er Sparks, says the Chicago Tele-
gram, comes from the most un-
scrupulous ring of plunderers that
ever disgraced even this ring-
cursed country. Twenty - five
years ago a grand public domain
enormous in extent and rich in
value offered to the citizen a
chance to obtain a home for him-
self ana family. It has gone—but
not to settlers. Gone into the
bands of the sharped aud |iie thief
by the road of fraud and perjury.
Gone to make millionairs of a
cousciousless clique of land pirates.
Gone where the settier who wants
it for honest purposes can never
get a foot of it. And it has gone
that way just because, instead of
such men as Lamar and Sparks at
the nead of the land affairs at
Washington, there havo been a set
of scoundrels in control who were
in league with the thieves. The
Republican press applauded them
as it reviles Sparks now.
Austin has at last waked np to
the importance of the case,
citizens now offer $3000 rew
the thug criminal’s. Let tfr'
ward stand, it will bring the guilty
to the bar of justice.
