grees below zero—at 6:15. a m.

ting around the fireside premedi
tating over the past an I re-reading
The Henderson Times and < o
menting upon its many good
teachings and sound doctrine, I
take up my pen to write. Your
interviews with the two grand
jurors and Mr Welch's article
alone are worth the subscription
price of your paper for twelve
months I do heartily en or
The Times in its manv 00
teachings. Every young ma;, in
the county who expects, to make a
man out of himself ought to bv all
me-ins subscribe for The Times
and read its everv colnmn and
page, for if you follow its teach
ing and doctrine vou will be
a man some dav that your father
and mother will be proud of, and
the first commandment of Holy
Writ is to 'honor thy father and
thv mother." The three grand
articles above referred to, together
with Prof. Orr's letter from Omen,
Smith county. Texas, I have read
to my boys and explained to them
the many good advices contained
therein—the doctrine set forth in
these letters on moral culture, to
train the boys up around thp fire-
side The "arent must first be a
competent teacher, must be of a
sober mind, honest, truthful and
upright and honest in his dealings;
must have patience and forbear-
ance, and observe the golden rule.
"Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you." Then
teach our boys to d'> right, to be
honest, to be truthful and to shun
all manner of bad companv.
Young men and boys must have
steady employment, plentv of work
to do, must read good literature,
such as good books, good newspa-
pers, that have wholesome and
sound doctrine contained therein.
Young men aid bovs, do not
allow yourselves to drift off into
bad company, wi'h the social
dram-drinker, with the low down
gambler, crap shooter, dice throw-
er and card player, for if you do
you will soon find yourself in
custody of the law, there drawn up
by the strong arm 01 the law to
give an account of the crimes and
misdemeanors which \ou have
committed and thus violated the
laws of the land. Then, young
man, when it is too late, you reflect
and think over so many good ad
yices that father and mother had
given vou O. my wayward boy,
just think ot that heart broken

count ot their wayward son. The
writer of this piece had neither
father nor mother to give the.-e
good moral lectures to their boys,
both dying when their children
were very young. But I can say
to-dav that I thank God with all
tnv heart that I had one dear old
aunt, who gave me many lectures
on moral habits, always taught me
to do right, be honest and truthful
and to shun all manner of bad
company To-day I tee I grat ful
for her good advice and will al-
ways bless her memory. While
she has gone to her last resting
place, and basking in the sunshine
of Goo's eternal glory. I stiH re
member her sweet meditations
around the fireside
Young men and boys, I am now
nearly forty-three years old and
have never been in court in mv

Auy of you can do as well as I
have done. The way of the trans-
gressor is hard, and the wicked
shall not liv? out half their time,

I endorse The Times from start

Mr Editor, you have heard of

Shortest Sermon Delivered.
Many a time in our boyhood
days we have sworn we were
listening to the longest sermon
ever preached. And as for short
sermons—none of them were short
if the testimony of the average
smali boy be accepted. Says the
Saturday Evening Post:
The longest sermon on record
wis delivered bv the Rev

Abbey lasting three hours and a
hall, and the shortest sermon ever
preached was perhaps the sermon
which Dr. Whewell was fond of re-
peating from the text, "Man is
born unto trouble as the sparks fly
upward.''
The sermon occupied barely a
minute in deliveiy, the following
being a verbatim report: "I shall
divide the discourse into three
heads: 1 Man's ingress into the
world. 2. His progress through
the world. 3 His egress out of

called session the outlines of such
a road law as would be effective in
great concerns.
So the American people shook
hands upon the bartlefield, which
both had illustrated with its splen-
did prowess and with its noble
sacrifice. As General Grant fitly
says in his Memoirs, "They shook
hands as old friends who had long
parted, neither showing resent-
ment." Why should they have
shown resentment? War is not
personal; it is a matter of principle;
it is a matter of duty. There is no
reason why the man who does the
hood and millions and millions of
money, and that when we shall
have, as we will, driven them at
the point of the bayonet to submit
to the authority of the American
nation, with all the accompanying
destruction of property and lives,
the whole archipelago will then be
a pest to the American Union. I
believe that it will open the door
for a flow from the Chinese Em-
pire and from the islands them-
selves of a host of men, untold in
numbers, who will not assimilate
with, but will tend to degrade,
the American people.
Do you remember, Mr. Presi-
dent—I do—that it was but ten
years ago that this great American
nation, with all its power, when
two great political parties were
lining up in the Presidential bat-
tle of 1888, was compelled by the
working people, the men who are
engaged in trades, the men who
are engaged in labor, to abrogate a
treaty with China which permit-
ted the Chinese to come in? Only
a few hundred thousand had come
in on the Pacific coast, yet the
feeling against them was so in-
tense that both political parties
were forced to declare against their
further entry. I think it the most
remarkable chapter in the history
of the country and the only in-
stance of the obrogation of a treaty
by statute. While we were nego-
tiating with China, a friendly na-
tion, with which we were at peace,
for a modification of the treaty ne-
gotiated by Mr. Seward in 1868,
right as he sees the right may not both parties were absolutely driv
look the world in the eye and grasp
United States Senator Horace
Chilton, who made such an on-
slaught on Congressman Bailey
at the state democratic convention
la-t summer at Galveston, has
now to eat crow. Bailey opposed
expansion there, and latter went
before his people and was elected
to congress on that ticket. The
Gal. Dal. News and the politicians

Chilton was made to believe that
imperialism and expansion was
the popular idea with the people
of Texas. He now has to take

Borrowing money has been the
ruin of many farmers and mer-
chants, and if this practice is conr
tinued, we may reasonably expect
to have hard times and financial
distress in the future. Saint Paul

The Danger of a Strong Army
I know, Mr. President, if the
history of the world has left any
lessons for our guidance, that
when you raise great standing
armies, when you have vast com-;
merce, when you appoint govern-1
ors-general, when you make profit-
able employments for men whom
you set as taskmasters over others,
in the nature of things, by the j
inevitable tendencies and inclina-,
tions of human nature, you set up j

tion and wealth for its perpetuity,
and that those who share in its
honors, in its emoluments, in its
profits, however honorably, will
be disposed to a continuance of a
condition of things which is not
to their profit. It may be that we
will do better than any other na-
tion has ever done; I know we will
do better than Spain; but at its
best it is a most perilous relation;
it is a most injurious relation; it is
a relation that all should pray
against who have ever felt the
power of that prayer, "Lead us
not into temptation."—Daniel of

corruption, commercial corruption
and corruption in high places and
in low places stalks about in Tyler
with absolute impunity. Here is a
sample of what is all the time ap-
pearing in that ably edited paper:
There will always be collusion
between officers and law breakers
as long as there is bribery at the
polls.
In Tyler the moral atmosphere is
so polluted that if an editor were to
come out and tell all he knows his
business would be ruined, and he
would afterwards be laughed at for

Sam, has the following to say:
"Uncle Sam, you are a daisy.
Two years ago you were for con-
traction by a large majority; now
you are tearing you shirt for ex-
pansion I suppose that while you
are contracting and expanding you
will take a notion after awhile to
stretch yourself to your full length

the mosquitoes shall roost on your
big toe at Cape Horn, while ice-
bergs form on your whiskers in
Alaska. It may be all right, and
you have about seventy-five million
nephews and nieces who are for
you, right or wrong; but some of
us hope you won't get too big for
your breeches; or, rather that your
breeches won't get too small for
you. I would not wound your
feelings for a box of Havanas or a
hogshead of Honolulus; but I con-
fess with blushes that there are

leading lawyer, warmly, "I never

The seed that has led. to nearly
all the corruption in Tyler was
sowed more than ten years ago by
some of its most honored and most
prominent citizens. The seed was
being scattered here while the grand
juries were dealing exclusively

trash.

It is now Ex-Governor Hogg

The Times sees nothing in the
Hogg fee to cause any parting of
the ways. If the State was entitled
to the amount which Hogg col-
lected, or any part of it, then, it
seems, that a reasonable fee should
be paid to the firm of lawyers that
brought about its collection. The
debt was an old one, and while
Crane and Savers, and others, knew
so much about it, one thing is very-
certain, Hogg is the man who
worked up the- case, briefed it,
spent his money going to Washing-
ton City to interest congress in it;
and was, no doubt, the means of
its collection The Times is of
the opinion that the law firm of
Hogg & Robertson should be paid
a commission on the amount that
was really due the state of Texas.
