The Split in Texas.
The democratic PhiladelphiaRecord has
glad tidings from the'Southwest, and it
greatly rejoices thereat. It says that
no better news has come from Texas in
a long while than the report that at t‘ e
convention of five hundred representa-
tive gold standard men held in Dallas
on Tuesday last it was resolved to re-
organize the Democratic Party of that
State on a gold standard basis; and,
the Record continues, ’ no clearer note
has been sounded from any quarter of
the compass than the Dallas conver-
tion’s declaration that “the time has
come when the advocates of the gold
standard must stand up and be counted.”
The Record compliments Texas for
practising what she preaches, and pro-
claiming where she stands. “The
Democrats of the country,” says the
Record, “can do no better than to catch
the contagion of hei' example.”
If the Democrats of the country were
to follow the Texas example, the Dem-
ocratic Partywonld be as effectually and
irremediably split as it was in 1860. If
I . the Texas example should prove conta-
agious the Democratic Party would re-
.- solve itself into two parties on different
platforms and with different candidates,
and these partieswould go into the cam-
. .paign with a hundred times more incli'
. :nation to fight each otherthan’to defeat
xixtheér old opponent.
These five hundred representative
gold standard men are seceders from
the Democratic Party organization in
their State. The Texas Democracy is
thoroughly committed to free silver,
just as much so as the. Missouri Dem-
ocracy. ThoseDcia. cruts who have re-
solved to “reorganize the Democratic
Party” are. a disaffected minority,
breaking away from the control of the
majority. This appears to be a very
cheerful spectacle in the contemplation
of the Record, but it must be discour-
aging to Democrats who have been
hopeing that their party would escape
disruption and go into the campaign
prepared to put up a good, if not a
hopeful fight. Instead of commending
this example—this rebellion of a minor-
ity against the regular organization—
one would expect a Democratic organ to
advise conciliation and harmony.
The Frisky Bicycle.
The News Editor has of late been
wrestling with a particularly baulky,
stubborn and frisky Bicycle and it is
not surprisingjthat he has wheels, dem-
mocracy and other things in his head.
His latest vagary is the constructing of
a bicycle path on the track of the trol-
ley from South Norwalk to Rot-on, to-
tally oblivious of the fatalities sure to
result upon such insane folly. The
trolley car is one of the things ‘the bi-
cycle cannot buck against with any hope
of success. ‘
The bicycle is very much in evidence
everywhere just now, but it doesn’t own
the earth.’ It is one ofthe sensible fads
of modern times; it is eminently prac-
tical, thoroughly useful, and in every
way commendable, but, like , many
other good things, it is capable 0f
monstrous abuses, and it is the abuses
which have grown up with the preva-
lence of the bicycle that must now be
embed in the interest of public safety.
'1 he fact that the bicycle has come
' intogeneral use and is certain to re-
senseless for people to rush along the
main so, imposes the necessity of bring-
ing it within the laws which regulate
all other occupants of the public high-
ways Accidents occur daily in our
cities from the reckless use of the bicy-
his, and there is not a week that a fatal
accident is not reported from some part
of the country. If people will not teach
themselves to respect their own safety
and the safety of others on' our public
highways, they must be. taught it by
aw and the sooner the better.
The use of the bicycle should be re-
garded as needful, a recreation, amuse-
ment and exercise. A few sports might
cultivate the highest measure cf ‘speed,
_ but those Who use the bicycle for rec-
reation or improvement of health or in
their daily course of business, should
ever use it in moderation.
It is utterly ,
' druggist. 5"”,
crowded streets at a breakneck pace ex-
posing themselves every min’ute to set-
iousif'notfatal accidents, and the law
should fix a moderate rate of speed as
imperative in all crowdhd places, and
should also regulate the right of way
for‘bicycles as well as for carriages.
As long as thereare fools in the world,
and they are likely to continue to the
end, as they have been from the begin-
ning, there will be reckless bicycle
riders, and it is an absolute necessity
that the law should be summoned to
curb the bike.
We put in a plea that some careful,
considerate and conservative sort"of
guardian be appointed to accompany
our friend Rodemeyer, when he rides
abroad on his wheel, to save him from
dashing his brains out.

During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin;
of Long Beach, West Va., contracted a
severe cold which left him with a cough. In
speaking of how he cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup but found
no relief until I bought a. bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me
almost instantly, and in a. short time brought
about a complete cure.” When troubled with
a cough or cold use this remedy and you
will not find it necessary to try several kinds
before you get relief. It has been in the
market for over twenty years and constantly
grown in favor and po ularityu For sale at

flicts Frightful Wounds.-
Cbild’s Face and Arm Bitten.
A fearful accident happened to the
year-and-a-half-old baby of John Nel-
son, who resides on King street, West-
port, yesterday afternoon. The child,
which is'just able to toddle around, was
playing on the porch, when a strange
dog strayed into the yard and came up
to the porch where the child was sitting.
The dog lay down and soon attracted
the child’s attention. The little one
crept over to where the dog lay and
attempted to pat it on the head.
As the baby put out its hand, the
brute sprang up and fastened its teeth
in the little one’s face, lacerating the
soft, tender flesh in a horrible manner.
The child’s screams attracted the at-
tention of its parents, but before they
could get to it the dog had made an-
other lunge and made a deep wound in
the little arm.
The brute was finally beaten off and
confined in an out-building, and Dr.
Nolan was sent for. He did what he
could to relieve the sufferings of the
child, and ordered Mr. Nelson to keep
the animal shut up until it showed signs
of illness or hydrophobic. As the
brute appeared to be perfectly well,
the doctor thought the child would re-
cover safely. - '

A Pathetic Ballad.
Father, dear father, come home with
me now, for ma has some carpets to
beat; she’s got all the furniture out in
the yard, from the front door clean out
to the street. The stove must come
down and be put in the shed, and the
yard must be cleared of some grass, for
it’s time to clean house and the devil’s
to 'pay—and the front windows need
some new glass.‘ Father, dear father,
come home with me now, and bring
some bologna and cheese, it’s most 12
o’clock and there’s nothing to eat—I’m
so hungry I’m weak in my knees. All
the dinner we’ll have will be cold scraps
and such, and we’ll have to eat standing
up too, for the table and all are out in
the yard, oh, I wish that housecleaning
was through. Father, dear father,
come home with me now, for ma is as
mad as a Turk; she says that you’re
only a lazy old thing, and that she
shall put you to work. There’s paint-
ing to do and paper to hang, and the
windows and casing to scrub, for it’s
housecleaning time and you've got to
come home and revel in suds and cold
grub—Hutchinson, Kas. Clipper.
