It Is barely possible the populists In tlw
Tedefal sonato refused to have any hand
In the reorgnrtrotlon of that body only
after they discovered that the bargain
counter had been picked over
Congress may be depended on lo discuss
Cuban and Turkish affairs with alacrity
and exhaustively The opportunity to drop
domestic complications ind records Is al-
together too tempting
The report comes now that Mr llayarel

The county commtMloners of Galveston
have at last purchased ground for a new
lnsalio asylum for the county The differ-
entials sustained by the railroad commis-
sion have probably rendered this action
necessary
It Is a eLatistieal and indisputable fact
iliat England could not afford to go to
war with this country for twice the terri-
tory and wealth of all Venezuela And
England always counts the cost
Tho American laherer is no socialist lie
wants to Improve his own condition but
not on socialistic lines He appreciates
property rights and home and family tie
and Is willing to live and let live

Next to a poker gnmo for a place to
contcmplato human nature In Its most
aggravated form comes a great railway
passenger stntlon Statistics Bhow that
ninetenths of tho human race losi > their
senses when traveling on tho cars and
give freo demonstrations cf tho fact nt
every station Traveling by rail brings out
all a mans latent characteristics and pro
pensities There Is something In the rush
of tho train tho smell of the engine
smckc the yell of tho butcher the volapuk
cries of the l akeman and tho whizzing
scenery visible lrom tho windows that
causes tho average Human being to shako
off tho trammels of convention and cus-
tom and act accordingly
When a train stops at the depot and
unloads tta passengers they proceed at
once to adopt for their stylo of procedure
tho ldci expressed by tho Trench phrase
siuvo qui pent or In polite language
tho devil take tho hindmost
An observer unless ho Is of the casual
variety can tint much entertainment in
watching the throng of travelers and by
standers at any metropolitan depot The
scene presented belongs lo spectnculnr
comedy There are no stage waits no
changing of wencry no forgetting of HnCM
or easting about for upplfinse The mimes
play their part and vanish the hero with
his vtllso Is jostled by the heavy vllllnn
from the baggage room leading ladles
crumble Piss weep and sigh without
boquetH or applause marionettes wilggle
and dance through tho crowd pulled by
the strings of chance and tho comedian
pmys his part unabashed by the disap
proving hiss of the engines and tho
groan of tho grinding wheels
