The notorious Bill Clin ndler, senator
from Xew Hampshire, is creating a
mild kind of excitement In the ranks of
Tils party by dec-luring that the republi
can party must Introduce bimetallism
through free coinage or go out of power.
The aforesaid Wlllinni Is the nephew
of hfs late uncle In ways that are dark
and tricks that he thinks are cute. This
Is rather an astonishing outbreak when
the real friends of silver are not so
ihoppful of Its ultimate destiny.
Governor Tanner of Illinois is assum
ing extra functions as it governor. Hp
refused to grant rc-cuiHiion paper to the
cifliclals of Incllaoa for tup extradition of
a man escaping to Illinois from 1 hut
state charged with commit ting a crimp nt
Indianapolis. Governor Tanner says
that he bos examined the papers in ihe
caw.- and he finds the man charged is not
guilty and, moreover, lie says tlx- man
is his (Tannpr's) peroni'l friend. He
had about as much right in r-.-fiisc on
the ground of the man being his friend
as he had to eonsiilnie himself a court

The Springfield (O.) Itepuhllcnii says "it
is important to the cause of sound money
that the republicans should bp sueccsfnl in
the coming Ohio campaign." The remark
might be appropriate if the republicans
had not been fulNe to their platform and
their promises on the subject of sound
money, but as sound money elected their
president, and neither he nor they having
done anything for it the lclevancy of the
remark seems doubtful.
Important to sound money that Marl;
llauna should lie sent to the senate, in
deed! And why? Has Mark Hauna or
tbe party in power ever done anything for
sound money but talk for it all talk and
nil false talk at that.
In the place of recognizing the import
ance of obeying the will of the people at
the polls and reforming the currency, the
party has absolutely ignored it, and pass
ed a tariff that their leaders promised to
ignore in their congressional proceedings.
The Republican organs owe it to modesty
to be silent on the subject of the indebt
edness of sound money to that party until
the party does something to show its In
terest in sound money nnd currency re
form. Mr. Bryan was at least honest in
his advocacy of free silver, whilp MeKin
ley has thrown a suspicion of doubt of
his honesty io subscribing to a sound
money platform.
A CIHIOIS HCIDEST.
An incident has just occurred in Xew
York which combats Shakespeare's
theory that there is nothing in n name.
A young lawyer named Crank has ap
plied to court to have his name changed
because it brought him into ridicule ami
contempt nnd injured his chances for
.making a living. This word, on nccouut
of its associations, has become an odious
onp, and most men wish to shun a sug
gestion of it. Ami yet "cranks" of to
day have been heroes and idols of the
morrow. Louisville Courier Journal.
We wonder if William Henry Woodruff
feels any better since he has affected the
change of his name from William Henry
Crank, Jr.
Tb assigned reason was that the name
waiembarrassingon account of its popular
significancy. Perhaps its personal signi
ficancy made the change desirable. It is
rarely the case that a young man who
bears an honorable name whose father
before him was esteemed for his high
character, and whose grandfather before
him ranked with the gentlemen farmers
of Virginia. A name distinguished by a
long line of honorable ancestry, could be
induced to give up his name and nail un
der the color of an alias, especially when
as in this instance, the young man him
self had added his own high character
to the name. We fear the change will
distinguish him more as a crank than
he will ever be distinguished as a Wood
rough, but we wish him as much success
in making the name of Woodrough as
honorable as that of Crank which he has
so recently drojiped. He Is the son of
Maj. Yi illiam II. Crank, one of the lead
lawyers of Houston.
FARMJSG AS A FIXE ART.
As the (Jalveston News remarks,
"Texas Is an agricultural state, with a
rare diversity of products." Thnt
diversity, however, is not yet approached
to the full measure of the capacity of
Texas soil. Kvpii now the variety of
crow adapted to Texas soil is re
markable, but farmers who ore acquaint
ed with the soil of other states as well
as the soil of thin state agree that Texas
soil is capable of producing many highly
remunerative crops that have never yet
obtained permanent footing in the state.
The recent increased price in the
cereals ami the good markets open to
such products will encourage invest
ments iu Texas land and the np-ning up
of new farms, and as agriculture has
become a science practiced by scientilic
farmers, wp may reasonably expect an
extraordinary development of even a
greater variety of crops than have here
tofore been found profitable in this state.
The advance iu scientilic farming is
largely to the advantage of Texas, as
liese fanners will find a. diversity of soil
iu the radius of one farm that will de
light their souls with a respond- lo a
gloat variety of products. Nothing is
more cheering and encouraging t.i a
scientilic farmer than to find that within
his own boundary lines he can raise al
most anything that is raised iu nearly
every section of the eartll. lie then be
comes an enthusiast, and to a m.in of in
telligence farming under such conditions
becomes a line art to which he brings
his utmost energies and skilled intelli
gence. I'rolitable scientific farming Is the
most delightful of all occupations. Its
independence is very satisfactory ami
the natural love of productiveness ren
ders its occupation a delight that is
rarely found iu any other occupation.
In every line of business numerous
men can be found whose sole ultimate
ambition Is to spend their declining
years on a farm. To many such men
the farm Is an I'topia to which they
look ahead with longing eyes and for
which in middle age they will make any
sacrifice with the hope of attaining It.
I'ufortnnately just after the war, with
the changed and uncertain condition of
labor, the young men reared in the
country and destined formerly for the
farm, sought the towns and cities, ami
many of the splendid old farms all over
thp south were permitted by disuse to
go to rack and ruin. Some have suc
ceeded, many have not, ami now there
seems to be a reaction. Young ami mid
dle aged men are awakening to the
fact that good land In Texas can I
bought an cheap that with industry used
upon it, In one or two seasons that they
can pay for it almost solely by their
own labor. A reaction In favor of the
occupation of farming was hound to
come, and It has come, because no mat
ter what the .Jeremiahs may say, no
matter how much they croak and la
ment, farming does pay.
We know young men in this city who
have bought farms and paid for them
from the proceeds of their own lalKir,
and such as it was necessary occasion
ally to hire, in one season, and some
of these men are doing business on
a salary in town while they rent out
their farms aeiuired by one year's labor
and others have settled down to the oc
pupation of agriculture. The Increased
price of agricultural commodities come
very opportunely to aid Iu booming the
reaction we speak of. and we can confi
dently look forward to the renewed ap
plication of young men of their ener
gies and Industry to agricultural occu
pations, making Texas emphatically the
Imperial agricultural state of the Union.
rrofessor Haworth of the Kansas state
University has located an underground
river npnr .Wwton, In that state, which
runs through or under the counties of
Harvey and McPberson, and is said to be
in some places twenty-live miles wide,
and Its depth has not been ascertained.
The citizens of Newton in Harvpy county
found their supply of wutor insufficient,
and Professor Haworth made a survey
of thp comity and informed thp citizens
that if they would dig at certain places
in the county, thc-y would find water.
They did so, and last week it was de
veloped that the pumps were lifting from
the dppths below 10)0 gallons of pure
water per minute, enough for the town
of Newton forever. The map made by
Professor Haworth indicates this river,
and the lines follow its course. In Mc
pherson county tradition told of an un
derground river. Deep wells were dug,
and when the bucket was let down it
was pulled down stream us if by a strong
current. This is the samp river indicated
by lines on Professor Haworth's map.
Professor Haworth would huve been a
very valuable man for us to have employ
ed almut the lime we built the dam.
Ohio has 4000 divorce cases pending in
the courts of the state. What a pande
monium of rasping ill-feelings and deadly
hate, vituperation and abuse, must reign
in the 40(H) Ohio homes whose residents
are seeking to dissolve the matrimonial tie.
No statistician would be able by any pro
cess of calculation to estimate the concen
trated bitterness of this number of un
happy peopU- w ho hate each other with all
the venom of the deadly cobra.
Kight thousand people who had kneeled
before the altars of God and promised to
love and honor each other to provide one
for the other to take each otherfor bet
ter or for worse, and cling together until
death parted them, with all these holy
feelings of love turned into hate, each
with their partisans sharing the same hate
children of these people taking sides and
hating father or mother, as the case may
lH. T".1' 11 mny be 8aid thnt h' has
within its borders enough material to es
tablish an independent h 1, and a choice
of a devil from any one of these people
seeking divorces would not be amiss.

The south bound International passen
ger train due here nt 4:30 yesterday
morning, about two miles south of the
citv, near the place where so many ter
rible accidents have happened during the
wjnwt nrwl A lintf Btrlielf two UPH
who were asleep on the side of tne
track.
One hail his left arm knocked out of

struck on the head, tearing the scalp and

The train was stopped nnd the train

men. The one struck on tne neaa nu

dying condition, but he rallied in about
an hour and was doing well at the citv
hospital last night.
The telegraph office at the railroad
bridge was notified and from there the
news was telephoned to the police sta
tion and Officer t.ib.son, accompanied by
Dr. Grauberry, the International sur
geon, went out to the place of the acci
dent and brought the wounded nic'i 10
town.
The man injured on the head gave his
name as Juliu Klser of Caldwell, Bur
leson county, and he was sent to the hos
pital. His story k that he and his com
panion were on their way to San An
tonio afoot, and after crossing the rail
road bridge and walking about a mile
they sat down to rest ou the side of the
track. They took t lie precaution not to
get on the rail and thought they were
far enough from it to be out of danger
of any stray trains that 'might come
along. Jt is pretty certain both men
dropped off to sleep and they did not
hear the approaching train. Tin? en
gine, baggage and mail and express cars
passed them all right, nut the teps of
the first passenger coach struck them
anil knocked lliem some distance from
the track, inllieting injuries as stated
above.
Klser is unmarried and says he is a
butcher by trade and was on his way to
San Antonio seeking work. Ilis in
juries are ipiite serious and it will be
some timp before he will be able to
leave the hospital.
Near thp place of the accident live
persons have been killed within the past
year and a half, and it seems to be an
unlucky place.
"My boy came home from school one
day with his hand badly lacerated and
bleeding, and suffering great pain," says
Mr. K. .T. Schall. with Meyer Bros.' Drug

and applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm
freely. All pain ceased and in a remark
ably short time it healed without leaving

It a gross error. It says nothing in this

Mayor Hancock Says He Will Xpt
Try (or Re-election.
Mayor Hancock yesterday authorited
the publication of the fact that he
would not be a candidate for re-election
at the coming election. He says that
he had come to this conclusion some
time ago, and desires it stated author
itatively at the present time. The fact
that Mayor Hancock will not rnn for
re-election leaves the field open for new
material entirely and will also play
quite a figure In the aldermanie races
for the reason that several of the old
aldermen were depending on being land
ed tinder the guidance of Mayor Han
cock's managers. Now that the mayor
is out of the race for good it remains
a matter of speculation as to who will
run In his place. .

THE ASYLCM PARK.
A Plan to Reautify the Lonatie Asy
lum Grounds.
The Lunatic Asvlum manaevment- h . .,
led the way in park improvement this sum
mer in a practical manner that wig pro
duce good results.
Ihe original idea in the wort f hnnuti.
fying these crounds is to convert thnt nn
of the space now not available for recrea
tion for the patients from its being barren
when dry and too muddy when wet intn
a chain of lakes and islands, bosky dells,
flowery plateaus, and in all preserve a wild
naturalness that shall suggest the hand of
nature, and not rigid lines, angles and tri
angles, so common in the works of man.
.Mr. heiders, the florist of the institution.
went north last spring to study the park
and garden systems of our eastern cities,
and is now putting into effect, with the
hearty approval of Superintendent Wor
tham, the results of his observations.
Another great eood to eomp from this
effort is that it will be an experiment sta
tion and botanical observation grounds for
the habits of our native plants, shrubs and
trees, as well as those from all other parts
of the world, as Mr. Sciders is assured
of the co-operation of eastern florists who
are eager to study our novel flora, as they
are to be intelligently informed as to effect
of our climate on a more northern vegeta-
UUll.
The lakes are to swarm with trnldfish and
trout that shall find shade and nrivner un
der the victoria regia and nymphia oder
oto, in fact all kinds of aquatic plants
from modest watercress to Egyptian papy
rus will be given an opportunity to do

A system of side drains will tvrciunt the-
surface water at times of heavy rain
from flooding and destroying the lake sys
tem, and vast quantities of black soil from
the old swamp are being hauled to dyke
the margin of the lakes and elevate the
islands, as Well ns mvo a lrn anil nn tni
