TTIENEW CIVIL COURT.
The judicial convention to nomi
nt th three justices of this, the
Third Judicial district, yesterday com
peted their labor by nominating
Chief Justice Hal. C. Fisher and Asso
ciate Justices W. M. Key and W. K.
Collard. The convention was a not
able one for many reasons. It was
notable as putting into efTect an
amendment of the judiciary law that
lorn? since should have been made
and that will he found to greatly re
dound to the speedy and more satis
factory administration of Justice. It
was notable for the most excellent
character of its delegates. The
First and Second districts are chal
lenged to produce a finer array
leiral talent and ability
of
or
more distinguished manhood than
yesterday assembled in the
convention of this, the Third district.
Karely, it ever, in the history of the
state has a political convention been
held composed of so many able law
yers, jurists and statesmen. Again it
was notable for the zeal and earnest
ness with which tho friends of each of
the seven candidates pressed their
claims for consideration; yet also for
the entire absence of partisan recrimi
nation or rancor. There was absolute
submission in good fal'h and spirit to
the will of the majority and the two
thirds. And finally it was notable
the magnidcont selections made for
the three supreme civil judges. The
Third district in point of the ability,
ripe scholarship, legal learning and
absolute manhood and integrity of its
judg"8 will yield precedence toneither
of the other districts, whoever
their nominees, nor to a simi
lar character of court any
where in the Union. As outlined
In Major Walton's masterly nominat
ing speech of Judge Key, Texas has
had a long line of eminent judges,
but the court yesterday selected will
add to rather than detract from the
fame and honor the past judicial his
tory of Texas has wreathed around
the state's brow. Nominated and in
dorsed by such a convention, these
three distinguished jurists stand be
fore the sovereign people but awaiting
their word of command to enter upon
the discharge of duties as onerous as
they aid important, with their honor
and ability pledged to make their
combined efforts In a new and higher
judicial sphere more productive of
lasting good to Texas than in the past,
under less favorable circumstances,
they were able to accomplish. All
Texas will have cause to be proud of
our convention's action yesterday.
LEGl TIM A TE INYESTK1A TION.
Judge Clark has returned hom
from his late visit to the bedside of a
sick child, at present in a northern
state. He has been interviewed on
the present status of the gubernatorial
campaign, and he denied most em
phatically the report that he was out
of the race, saying he would be in it
until the finish. When asked about
the determination of the various con
tests over county representation in the
Houston convention he said:
I assume that the convention and
the committee on credentlalswianbu
termino their controversies in a spirit
of judicial fairness and do justice uted
the special facts of each contest, pou
there is a more serious question tti tl
this which will have to be met.
"Apart from other methods most
revolutionary, it is well known that
Governor Hogg has carried many
counties solely because 01 alii render
ed him by the Third party people.
The appearance of the combination
between the Hogg people and the
People's party in different localities of
the state, suggests a conspiracy, do
Uberatel y entered into by the respect
ive conspirators, to thwart the will of
the Democracy, both as to men and
measures, and foist upon the party a
candidate regardless 01 tne party's
wishes. I see that Dahoney says that
a thousand intra party people par
ticlpated in the Lamar primaries,
while Tracy says, or intimates, that
the participating has been geuoral
over the Btate.
"I know that in this couuty many
of them swallowed the test in order
to get a chance to vote against me for
Hogg, and, in some instances, notably
at the Lorena box, walked off from
the primaries, alter v ting for Hogg
damning both Hogg and me and an
uouneiug that they intended to vote
for Nugent at the general election.
"This condition of affairs will de
mand the most patriotic consideration
at the hands of the Democracy at
Houston, and cannot be ignored. If
these people are to control our noini
nations and polities, we had as well
i&vite the liepublicttns to come iu and
help manage our family affairs, and
select our candidates.
"Thin thing cannot go unrebuked
without party destruction and we
shall at Jeat ask the reason why at
Houston Tnere is the place to call a
halt on this kind of business, for all
time to come."
If this talk means anything it means
a very great deal. For if in addition to
the dozen present contests, the oppo
sition to Governor Hogg intends to go
into the character of all the conven
tions in strong Third party counties,
to determine whether instructions
were made by genuine Democrats or
"hird partyites; then indeed has a
colossal work been cut out for the cre
dentials committee of the convention.
And yet from a true Democratic stand
point does it not seem to be an essen
tial work? If not ciedentialed by a
Democratic county convention what
right have delegates in a state Demo
cratic convention? If it is true that
in many counties of the
party men went Into the
called for Democrats
under the guise of
wofessed to send
state Third
conventions
only, and
Democracy
Democratic
delegates to the Houston convention
does that entitle those delegations toa
sent on the floor of the state Democratic
convention? Had Third party men
rlcht in the county conventions
than Kepublicans, Prohibitionists or
any other party men other than JJem
ocrats ? It is remembered when Gov
ernor Boss was nominated the first
time there was considerable cry of
dark-lanternism, and Democracy saw
fit then to look well into the question.
Why should it be different now, when
this wholesale interference by Third
party men is charged? What we
have to fear this year is not the Ke
publicans but the Third party, and
shall we at the outset allow them a
voice at the very threshold of our
work even the naming of who shall
be the Democratic standard bearers ?
If party organization means anything,
it means opposition to all other estab
lished political parties, and we
can not hope to accomplish anything
locally in tho several counties if in our
state convention the Third party is
allowed a voice and Influence. This
is a very broad and important ques
tion, and to its solution at Houston
should be brought minds unheated by
partisan zeal, unbiased by personal
interest, intent only on securing the
best advantage of the grand old Dem
ocratic party.
FINALLY ADJOURNED.
At 11 o'clock Friday night at last
was closed the long session of this con
gress. The time of closing was need
lessly delayed several weeks by a
foolish and uncalled for filibuster over
a loan to the World's Fair, that should
have been made immediately the
facts that dictated its being asked
for were laid before congress. The
filibuster at last resulted in a straight
out gift of $2,500,000 to the Fair in
stead of a loan of twice that sum. A
Fair conducted on such a colossal
scale as the Columbian Exposition
must result in either a stupendous
financial failure or a memorable suc
cess. There can be no half way busi
ness about it. "Making ready" is
wheie the great expense comes
in, and to tide over that
congress was asked for the loan.
When the gates are once thrown open
to visitors the shekels will pour in at
a tremendous rate. Congress in this
loan matter, as in a great many other
instances, has made a grievous blun
der. Uncle Sam is out of pocket two
and a half million dollars, while un
der the plan of the requested loan we
do not think h9 would have been out
a cent.
A most uneventful, unprofitable and
yet long spun out session is over.
What the grave and reverend, the ir
responsible and flippant, the sober
and jovial solons have done in their
eight months session to benefit their
country, othor than to draw their sal
aries for staying away from their
homes, it is difficult to enumerate.
One thing, however, they did succeed
in doing, spending $44,000,000 more
than the first session of the last
congress. This excess is explained
by Senator Allison to be because of
the pension bureau and the postoffice
department. This latter is all right,
as it is a most important arm of the
government in serving the people.
Though why there should be any ex
cess there when congress was at the
same time urged to cut down the
postage to 1 cent is a question Mr,
Wanamaker should answer. In the
line of the pension grabbing, how
ever, The Statesman is surprised at
no excess, no deficiency. How much
in a few years we will be paying to
the uncles, aunts and sixteenth cousins
of meu who never were in the Union
army, heaven only knows. But in
the meantime congress has adjourned
aud every mother's son of them is
hurrying back home to circulate with
the "fluence" men and try to get
back to congress for another term,
where they can have a chance to "fail
to do it all" over again.

A Monster Structure.
I fpcnt a long time in wandering abont
the JManufju.-iures building. It is tho
biggest Luil'iiiig ever planned, and it
will havoons roof covering tbirty acres.
Senator Ingalls came out and looked at
it the other day, and as he gazed, as
tounded at its immensity, he said: "It is
an exhalation! Yesterday it was not,
today it is and tomorrow it will have
passed away. I can see how you can
fence it in, but to roof it almost sur
passes human conception!" Think of
putting a massive glass and iron roof
over a thirty acre field! That is what
the men are doing here today, and I saw
them at work putting up the great iron
trusses which will support this roof.
You cannot conceive the size of this
structure without seeing it. Three hun
dred thousand people could be seated on
the floor and in the galleries and 80,000
could be seated on the floor alone. The
Coliseum at Rome, with all its galleries,
could only seat 87,000 people, and it was
never roofed except with canvas. You
could put four coliseums on that floor,
and two pyramids as big as Cheops
would sit upon it side by side and leave
room for the Capitol at Washington. If
the great pyramid was taken to pieces
and carried here its material could bo
stored in this building and you could
look down upon its masses of stone from
the galleries.
This building is about a third of a
mile long. Thirty great staircases, so
wide that two carriages could be driven
up them side by side, will lead to wide
galleries and there will be a street fifty
feet wide running through the center.
With its galleries it will have forty
acres of floor space, and it tires one even
to think of its possible contents. Chi

Electric 1.1th t on lintUefleltls.
The ubiquity of electricity is becoming
almost proverbial. From the "brightest
spot on earth" to the blood stained battle
fields is rather a far cry, but there is no
end to tho application of electricity. A
recent telegram from Austria described
some experiments of great interest
which have recently been carried out
successfully there. The difficulty of
searching for the -wounded on the night
after a great battle has been one which
has long occupied the attention of mili
tary reformers, and the army medical
service in Austria has been endeavoring
to determine how far the electric light
may be utilized for this humane end.
The value of powerful search lights
with reflectors has been proved in naval
affairs, and at Suakim and elsewhere
soldiers have found them very effective
on open ground. They would be equal
ly effective under similar conditions for
assisting in picking up the wounded,
but when the battle has raged over a
wide extent of country, or when tho
fighting has occurred amid woods and
brushwood, the use of this class of light
is attended with difficulty. Electrical

A Dog's Political Preferences.
Out at Abilene the man who runs a
transfer wagon and smashes the drum
mers' trunks owns a dog. He is just a
common, old fashioned cur. But the
dog votes, and votes right. His master
every morning upon the arrival of the
Texas and Pacific train gets his dogship
to show oil before the crowd. "Do you
vote for Clark?" the canine is asked. He
rises up on his hind feet, his front ones
high in the air, his body perfectly erect
and nods his head. "Do you vote for
Hogg?" the master inquires. The dog
gets down flat upon the floor and buries
his face in his front legs, the very pic
ture of negation. These daily perform
ances have come to be well advertised
in Abilene and always draw a crowd.
Should Judge Clark be successful that
dog will be installed in state at Austin
next January, and for two years at least
will be the best fed animal in Texas.

A Boiling Hole.
In Noble county, W. Va., there is a
fathomless sea, composed of salt water
and oil, from which gas escapes with a
tremendous roar. Twenty years ago a
well was drilled there to the depth of
1,900 feet. Some years later water and
gas escaped from the hole with great
pressure, tearing out the tubing and cut
ting a cavern apparently hundreds of
feet deep and forty feet in diameter.
After it ceased to flow a farmer filled it
up and built a barn over it, and again a
few days ago a terrific report announced
another explosion of the well, oil and
water pouring out in abundance. In a
single day the hole became fathomless
and about forty feet wide. Chicago

The F-Iirsoine Chipmunk.
As the voodchuck sleeps away the
bitterness of cold, so in his narrower
chamber sleens the chipmunk, hunpy
little hermit, lover of the sun, mate of
the song sparrow and the butterflies.
What a goodly and hopeful token of the
earth's renewed life is he, verifying the
promises of his own chalices, the squir
rel cups, set in the warmest corners of
the woodside, with libations of dew and
shower drops, of the bluebird's carol,
the sparrow's song of spring!
Now he comes forth from his long
night into the fullness of sunlit day tc
proclaim his awakening to his summer
comrades, a gay recluse, clad all in the
motley a jester maybe, 3Tet not a fool.
His voice, for all its monotony, is in
spiring of gladness and contentment
whether he titters his thin, sharp chip or
full mouthed cluck or laughs a chitter
ing mockery as he scurries in to his nar
row door.
He winds along his crooked pathway
of the fence rails and forages for half
forgotten nuts in the familiar grounds,
brown with strewn leaves or dun with
dead grass. Sometimes he ventures to
the top rail and climbs to a giddy ten-foot
height on a tree, whence he looks abroad,
wondering on the wide expanse of an
acre.

Journeyed Through Thibet.
Two travelers have lately arrived at
Shanghai, China, whose names deserve
not an unimportant place in the roll of
distinguished explorers. They are Cap
tain Bower, of the Seventeenth Bengal
cavalry, and Dr. Thorold, of the Indian
medical staff, and their claim to distinc
tion rests upon the fact that they havt
journeyed through Thibet by the long
est route that can be taken through that
mysterious country. They followed an
imaginary lino drawn from the Cash
mere frontier, in the northwest, to the
Chinese province of Szechuen, where it
adjoins the southeastern border of the
territories of the Delai Lama.
They were upward of ten months iu
Thibet and a great part of their journey
lay through a series of elevated table
lands, seldom lower than 13,000 feet
above tho sea level. On approaching
Lhassa they were turned back when
within eight days' journey of that city
by the officials, but after some parley
ing were permitted to proceed on prom
ising not to attempt to enter the Thibetan
capital. No foreign travelers have before
followed tho same route. New Orleans

Pussy and Her Feathered Brood.

of motherless young chickens, which

her around. When any of the broo l
stray into a neighbor's premises tho cat
follows, and picking each chick up care
fully by the back of its neck, deposits it
safely on its owner's premises. Calling
the chicks to her the cat lies down and

fully as their feathered mother would

Usually results from a deranged stomach or

Scrofula in the Neck
The following is from Mrs. J. W. Tillbrook,
wife of the Mayor of McKeesport, Penn.:
"My little hoy 'Willie,
now six years old, two
years ago had a bunch
under one ear which the
doctor said was Scrof
ula. As it continued to
grow he finally kinced it
and It discharged for
some time. We then be
gan giving him Hood's
IVUllo Tillbrook. Sarsaparilla and he im
proved very rapidly until the sore healed up.
Last winter It broke out again, followed by
Erysipelas. We again gave him Hood's Sar
saparilla with most excellent results and he
has had no further trouble. His cure is due to-
Hood's Sarsaparilla
He has never been very robust, but now seems,
healthy and daily growing tronger."
