Texas Is Wobhling.
And even Texas seems to be wob-
bling. The various political organiza.
tions and factions of the State appear
to be as tangled as a pile of eels; but
out of all the confusion there comes a
possibility, if not a probability, of the
State giving its electoral vote to Me‘-
iKinley-
Fusion seems to be a popular idea in
the. South and West, but in Texas it is
accepted with more demi-semiquavers
than are given to it elsewhere. Fusion
seems to be probable between the mid-
dle-of-the-road Populists, the Republi-
cans and the sound money Democrats.
It is a queer combination, but it goes
all the same in Texas.
The Republicans are to support the
Populist State ticket and the Populists
are to support Republican electors,
while the sound money Democrats are
to support the fusion of the State ticket
and electors and are to be given the
combined support of the other parties
I for Congressmen.
How the movement will work out
none can safely guess at this time, but
it leoks as 11 Texas with her old 3 ‘10 1
Democratic vote is now among the
doubtful States of the Union.

goat-Accidents in Squalls.
The. overturning of a catboat, by
which two lives were lost, off Robbin’s
Reef, near Staten Igland, in a squall of
wind, is asample of many. like fatalities
that occur every summer on our Atlan-
tic coast. On the Sunday previous, five
persons were drowned in the Delaware
River, by the capsizing of a pmall boat,
which had been unexpectedly struck by
a wind storm.
It is often almost impossibe for boat-
men to foresee a thunder squall in time
to guard against its violence. But the
exercise of weather wisdom may avert
such disasters. The temperature of the
air when considerably above the aver-
age for a summer afternoon, is itself a
premonitory sign that a thunder storm
is likely to form. The sky may be per:
fectly clear,but the longer that souther-
ly winds have prevailed, the greater the
probability that currents of air will set
in from. the westward and initiate
thunder-storms. When the clouds indi
dica-teueven faintly the brewing of a
stormin the distance, the wind’s direc-
tion should be closely watched, and the
moment it shows any tendency to. shift
from south to southwest, preparations
should be made to withstand a thunder
squall.

Grow Sounds the Keynote.
Those who recall the campaign of
1878, in which the fiat money apostles
understook to create a popular demand
for the repeal of the specie resumption
act, which was then about to go into
'efi'ect, will remember that Ex-Speaker
Galnsha A. Grow opened the Repub-
lican camp'aigfi at 0.1 City, rind, hold-
ing out a ten dollar gold piece as an ob-
ject lesson in honest money, made a
ringing appeal to the Republicans of
Pennsylvania to stand by the resump-
tion‘act. Grow’s Oil City speech, which
was widely published, became the key-
note of the Republican campaign not'
only in Pennsylvania, but in many
other Republican States and from the
date of its delivery until the casting of
the votes on election day, the Repub-
lican campaign against fiat money was
aggressive, defiint, unrelenting and
triumphant.
After an interval of eighteen years
Ex-Speaker Grow, now a Congressman-
at-Large and still vigorous in mind and
body, although past seventy, has age 11
sounded the keynote of the Republican
campaign in Pennsylvania.
His speech delivered before the Re-
publican county convention of Brad-
ford county is an admirable defense of
the existing monetary standard and it is
the utterance. of. an experienced man
of affairs instead of the empty rhetoric
of a youthful theorist.
Mr. Grow was elected Speaker of the
House of Representatives the year after
Mr. Bryan, the cheap silver candidate
for President, was born. He was then
thoroughly conversant with the finan-
cial disturbances which arose from the
wild-cat bank currency with which the
' country was cursed before the war of
the rebellion, and he was a participant
in the legislation which authorized. the
paper currency which succeeded it, as
well as in the'political agitation - which
preceded the resumptionof specie pay-
ment and the placing of our monetary
system on a sound b Isis. No man in
the country is better fitted by virtue of
long experience in financial affairs" to
discuss the currency question wisely.

will Not be _a Candidate for the Senate,
if Plait Desires Another Term.
Hon. Samuel Fess‘enden yesterday
forwarded the following letter:
RICHMOND HILL,
STAMFORD, AUG. 25.
To Hon. - 0. R. Fyler, ' Chairman Re-
publican State Central Committee.
MY DEAR Sim—In Slew of the fact
that there are reports in circulation
that the nomination of one of the known ‘
candidates for governor, may affect my
candidacy for the United States senate,
and thus be prejudicial to the interest
of Senator Platt, I deem it proner to
state for publication that if Senator
Platt desires another term, I shall not
be a Candidate against him
I believe that it is the wish of the Re-
publicans of Connecticut that Mr. Platt
should be his own successor, and I am
unwilling that any personal ambition of
mine should form grOunds for dissen-
sion within the party.
In conclusion, let me state that our
standard bearers, whoever they may he
shall have no more loyal supporter than
myself.
Yours very truly,
SAMUEL FESSENDEN.
Prices' In Mexico.
The silver orators will steer clear of
Mexico.
In that republic a laboring man earns
in the depreciated currency from 75
cents to $1.25 a day. If he is a farm
laborer, according to the Mexican Min-
ister, the most he can‘earn is 25 cents a
day.
And yet how much does the Mexican
laborer have to pay his storekeeper for
articles 1n general househ‘eld use‘? ,
Here are a few comparisonsf Break-1
first bacon, 32 cents a pound, against
ll; in. the United States; ham 33 cents,
against 11} in the United States; cheesp .
29 cents, against 12%” cefi'ée, 40 cents:
against 20 cents; flour, $8 50 a sack of
100 pounds, against 32. 25 a sack at
home, and so on throughout the whole‘ 1
list.
Not much in this to encourage the
American workingma‘n to Vote for free
silverl
The Joke of the Week.
Thejoke of the week did not occur
until Friday night, but 'It was worth
waiting for. The countersign given to
the guard w1thout which no officer
could pass was “Senator Piatt.” It
was doubtless intended as an honor to
the distinguished senator,who had been
‘a guest in camp. Soon after midnight
an officer approached the‘ main entrance
and the sentinel promptly challenged
him.
Who goes there?" '
Now thelofliser should have said “A
friend.” Then the sentinel would have
replied “Advance friend, and give the
countersign.” But the oflicer got rat-
tled and said:
“Senator Piatt ”
Quick as a flash came the response,
‘-You’re a liar—he’s got whiskers.”

Successful Ending of a Strike.
_ELWO0D, Ind., Aug. 26.—The .tin plats
workers’ strike here was ended by the com-
pany signing the scale. Hundreds of per-
sons are rejoicing over the peaceful settle-
ment. The strike leaders are jubilant over
the result and ascribe their success to the
care taken to avoid any infraction of law
and order. ‘
Big Tax on Cigarette Dealers.
GREENSBURG, Ind., Aug. 26.—The city
council has passed an ordinance requiring
cigarette dealers to pay a license of $300
per annum. There are about two dozen
stores handling cigarettes here, and with
this license there will not be more than
one store, if any, to continue their sale.
Oswego Manufacturers Fall.
Oswneo, N. Y., Aug. 26.-—-The Oswegc
Tool company, manufacturers of- boiler.
makers’ supplies, also the Ontario bicy-
cles, have assigned. The company’s cap-
ital stock was $25,000, and the concern
has been in existence for several years.
The assets, it is stated, cover the liabill‘
ties.
A few years ago nearly .511 newspapers
published, at this season, recipes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there' Is nothing quite as good as Chamber-
lain’ s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for these diseases and as it' Is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. No one havin 11E 3. bottle of this
remedy' 1n the house nee fear an attack of
bowel complaint. It can always be depended
u on and Is pleasant and safe. For
