So far the Texas legislature
has succeeded in making about
twenty-five laws and in killing
several hundred bills. This is a
.pretty fair record.

Bob Fitzsimmons, the pugilist,
attended religious service held at
the Carson City jail Sunday and
favored the congregation with a
solo entitled "Why Wait So
Long." The minister then
preached from the text "I fight
not as one that beateth the air."
The Spaniards in Cuba under-
took to treat a Frenchman as they
had been treating Americans.
The French consul demanded
that the French prisoner be re-
leased, but the Spaniards said
nay. Pretty soon in steamed a
French war ship and then the
doors of the Spanish prison were
opened as if by magic and the
Frenchman walked out a free
man. Oh for an administration
with pluck like this.
In the District Court at Bon-
ham last week a man was
arraigned for stealing meat. The
poor fellow said that he stole the
meat simply because his wife and
children were hungry and he had
nothing to give them to eat.
tiary, birt before leaving their

and made up a purse of twenty
dollars for the destitute family.
Nearly all the towns in this
country have "cold storages" but
Paris is to have a cold storage on
a large scale. The plant will
cost $100,000 and give employ-
ment to sixty hands. It is on a
different plan however, to the
cold storages in prohibition
towns.
Reports from Carson City are to
the effect that Col. Corbett's flesh
is as hard as steel and his
strength equal to that of three
locomotives, and that Col. Fitz-
simmons amuses himself by pull-
ing up forest trees and overturn-
ing four-story houses. Oh my!
what a hammering there will be
on the 17th of March !
Vice-President Hobart has
been besieged by begging letters
every day since the election. One
young woman is said to have
written to him from New Orleans
requesting $10,000 with which to
complete her musical education,
and asked Mr. Hobart to tele-
graph when the money would ar-
rive. Another woman asked for
$8 for a set of false teeth, saying
that her chances of getting a
husband would be vastly increas-
ed thereby. n

GREAT LAWS.
Among the many foolish bills
introduced and passed by the
various legislatures this year
might be mentioned the following
which are certainly daisies: In
South Carolina a law has just
been passed requiring every
washer-woman to pay license.
Out in crazy Kansas a legislator
has introduced a bill making it
unlawful for any dairyman to
withhold the "strippings" from
milk, while another Kansas Solon
has a bill making it a misde-
meanor for women to wear cor-
sets. Alabama is also after the
"mannish" woman, one legisla-
tor coming to the front with a
bill to prevent the wearing of
"shirt waists" and another with
a bill prohibiting bloomers. The
Nearly every city and town in
the State has passed a curfew
ordinance and the boys will be
kept off the streets at night. A
few-cur ordinance should follow
and reduce the dog population
about 500 per cent. The pun, or
whatever it is, is not original
with the Signal but it's a splendid
idea all the same.
The Democratic primary at
Paris Saturday resulted in the
following nominations: Mayor,
Lewis W.Ross; Marshal, J. L.
Shanklin; City Attorney, W. E.
Latimer; Assessor and Collector,
W.H.Crook; Treasurer, T. J.
Record. John Gibbons a dyed-
in-the-wool Republican, will op-
pose the Democratic nominee for
Mayor.
Every man who has been a
school boy knows that the boy
who will not stand up for his
rights is sure to be kicked and
cuffed and subjected to such oth-
, er indignities as little rascals can
inflict. It is the same with na-
tions. The United States has so
long borne the insults of other na-
tions that even third and fourth-
rate powers treat Americans with
contempt. Grover Cleveland,
stubborn as a mule when deal-
ing with home people and affairs,
always displayed the back-bone
of an eel when confronted by
foreigners. President McKinley
can endear himself to all lovers of
American honor by enforcing a
vigorous foreign policy.
The latest news from the east
is that the war between Greece
and Turkey seems unavoidable.
Should war begin there's no tell-
ing what the consequences will
be but it is quite probable that it
will extend to all the European
powers. Should the Greeks and
Turks be allowed to fight their
own battles the former would no
doubt be victorious, but the situ-
ation in Europe is so complicated
that all the powers would no
doubt be drawn into the conflict,
and strange as it may seem, all
the Christian nations seem dis-
posed to aid the barbarous Turks.
The Greeks are plucky and
should they be compelled to fight
superior numbers it may be that
modern history may record Gre-
cian valor in another Ther-
mopylae.
Within the past four days three
negroes have attempted rape up-
on white women in the city of
Dallas, and similar assaults are
reported in Paris and Wolfe City.
It seems that the point is reached
when no white woman is safe for
a moment unless protected, and
it is absolutely necessary that
white people adopt the most
stringent means for the protec-
tion of their wives, mothers and
daughters. People talk about
law, but law isn't worth a baubee
in such cases—it would be
equally as consistent for men to
stand back and wait for the of-
ficers to take possession of a
roaring lion. Bands should be
formed everywhere whose busi-
ness it should be to see that no
brute who attemps a criminal as-
sault should live, no matter if all
business had to be suspended in
order to capture the rapist. The
time has arrived-when the people
must act.
sidering a bill which provides for
a state board of examiners for
blacksmiths, and the Indiana so-
lons an act requiring restaurant
and hotel keepers to print all
bills of fare in plain English. A
Missouri legislator has offered a
bill which makes "flirting" a
misdemeanor and an Indiana
representative hopes to get an
enactment against wearing
squeaking boots in church.
For such foolishness as the
above people are paying millions
of dollars annually.
To-morrow the democratic mem-
bers of Congress will hold a cau-
cus for the purpose of nominat-
ing a candidate for the speaker-
ship. Hons. Benton McMillan
and J. D. Richardson, of Ten-
nessee, and J. W. Bailey, of Tex-
as, are candidates, and Mr. Bai-
ley seems to be in the lead.
While there is no hope of electing
the Democratic nominee, yet the
nomination involves a high hon-
or, from the fact that the nominee
is regarded as the leader of his
party during the session.
The St. Louis Republic is au-
thority for the statement that a
bucket shop has been opened in
that city for the exclusive use of
women and girls who desire to
engage in stock and grain gamb-
ling, and that same enjoys a heavy
patronage. The same paper also
says that a public club-house
and billiard room will soon be
erected in that city in order that
the female gamblers may have a
suitable place to spend the night
after the exciting events of the
day. The slow-going men will
please step aside and let the pro-
cession pass.
A Kansas legislator has intro-
duced a bill making it a misde-
meanor for women to wear cor-
sets. The bill ought to pass. No
woman has the right to practice
deception upon poor unsuspect-
ing man. If a woman be the
possessor of a waist resembling a
sack of oats she has no right to
squeze herself into a corset and
thus lead a man to believe her a
Venus with a waist as symmetri-
cal as an hour glass. And furth-
er, no woman should have the right
to build a ten-inch breast work
under her chin. I say this Kansas
bill should become a law and in
order to make it effective men
should be given the right to in-
vestigate suspicious cases. Then
all men would move to Kansas.
WHITE HOUSE TROUBLES.
Many a house-wife has had
unkind things said of her on ac
count of the condition the house
she moved from was found by her
successor, and an exchange gives
the lollowing description of the
White House when the late first
lady of the land, Francis Cleve
land, moved out:
"The executive mansion was in
a turmoil. The salt cellar was
broken, the soda was out, the
towels were worn threadbare and
there were holes in the meal sif-
ter big enough to let a rat
through. The only piece of soap
on the place was left to melt in
the wash pan and the muffin
rings were a sight to behold.
Three of the steel forks were re-
duced to one tine each, and the
knives had not been scoured in
weeks. The gourd of chitter-
lings was overturned, the flour
barrel was left uncovered and
the red ants had taken possession
of the sugar-bowl. One hinge
was missing from the smoke
house door, the bone rings and
figure 7s from the presidential
beefsteak were thrown in the
the ash-hopper, and the well
sweep was splintered. The cook
stove had lost an eye, a bake ket-
tle was minus an ear, the table
had a broken leg, the pot had
lost a foot and the face of the
clock was grimy. The sight of
the jowl and greens being left to
soak in the pot-likker was un-
bearable, just as though no one
would ever want to eat a bite.
Some one had emptied the coal
cinders on the asparagus bed
left the morning's milk on the
same shelf with the dish of mack
erel and poured hair oil in one of
the vinegar cruets. The house
was in a sad mess. We have long
supported Mrs. Clezeland as the
first lady in the land, in war and
peace and in the hearts of her
fellow countrymen, but we must
agree with our esteemed contem
porary in the opinion that it was
well a change was made in the
White House, or there would not
have been a skillet left in which
to cook a handful of partridge
eggs."
As a general thing men pay
very little attention to the style
of dress worn by the ladies, all
granting that women are pretty
no matter how dressed. But there
is one custom against which the
writer has heard a great many
protests; a custom that should be
set aside for various reasons—
that of wearing "mourning" for
deceased relatives or friends.
Grief should be felt of course,
but not displayed. A woman ar-
rayed in Egyptian blackness
pains the average person almost
as deeply as death itself. No
doubt many ladies will object to
any interference on the part of
men in the customs of dress, but
let such objectors imagine men
wearing sack cloth and ashes, as
was done in David's time, by the
bereaved, and then ask them-
selves whether they would object
to such gruesome habiliments at
the present. The custom is one
that no lady feels at liberty to
break lest it be said that she does
not pay proper respect to the
memory of the departed, and it
will no doubt prevail until the
modistes declare otherwise
through the fashion journals.
Ashley Evans, editor of the
Bonham News, and Sam Hamp-
ton, editor of the Bonham Re-
view, furnished the citizens of
Bonham a first-class entertain-
ment Saturday. The boys haye
been discussing the local optio^i
question of late and last week
reached the point of calling each
other "liars." Now David, the
sweet psalmist, said that all men
were liars and nobody took of-
fense, but it will not do to be
specific and say that one cer-
tain man is a liar. The boys met
on the street and started in to
settle their difference in regular
Corbett-Fitzsimmons style. The
men are fine specimens of physi-
cal manhood and soon the ground
about them was crimsoned with
gore. Outsiders interfered and
prevented a finish contest.
Henry l^lize, who killed Rufus
Williams in a cotton patch near
Bonham last year, was tried at
Bonham this week and convicted
under peculiar circumstantial ev
idence. Near the place where
Williams was killed a piece of
paper was found which when un-
folded proved to be a piece of the
Bonham Review, and on the
margin was Mize's address, he
being a subscriber to that paper
Officers went to Mize's house and
found a shot gun which had been
reloaded and on drawing the wad-
ding found it to be a piece of the
same paper. On this evidence
Mize was convicted, after which
he confessed, stating that he
killed Williams and gave as his
reason for doing so that Williams
seduced his (Mize's) daughter
Mize was sentenced to a term of
five years in the penitentiary.
There is a moral to this trial
which all persons should heed:
never use a paper for gun wad-
ding that is too green to burn.
Were old Jupiter as powerful
as he was in the days before the
new gods came and drove him
from his seat on high Olympus
there would be no doubt as to the
result of the war in Crete. For
it was in Crete the god of gods
was born and raised, and it was
in Crete he was entombed when
his night passed away and the
thunderbolt slipped from his dy-
ing hand, red no longer, into the
hands of other and newer deities.
What Mecca is to the Mohamme
dan, Benares to the Hindoo, and
Jerusalem to the Christian, that
would be Crete to the believer of
the Greek religion; and so ii is
now, in a way, to the modern
scholar who lives in the beauties
of Greek mythos, fable and story.
There is not a spot on the face of
the broad earth that is so crowd
ed with memories of Paganism
Beautiful as is Crete.
In his inaugural address Pres-
ident McKinley did not forget to
deal the trusts a broadside, and
a person new to the country and
its officers would readily conclude
that our new president would in
a few weeks sweep the monopo-
listic combines from the face of
the land. But the old-timer
draws no such conclusions. Not
an inaugural address has been
delivered nor a party platform
adopted for twenty-five years
that did not give the trusts a ter-
rible drubbing; but what of it?
Are the trusts all dead, the com-
bines all broken? Not much,
Mary Jane. Legislation is to
trusts what slop is to hogs—
whether good or bad it produces
fat. The more you legislate
against trusts the bigger the
trusts grow. And if perchance
some little legislation should
creep in and prove to be a fly in
the ointment, a Federal judge is
always handy to remove the fly.
