Thb Austin Capital Is miHtakon when
it Buys tho Tarrant county convontitm
enrtorsod froo grass. It expressed op
position to the loaso law; only thin and
nothing more.
A rAiioit organization in IndiiinapoliH,
ho Autocrats, which supported (Iau
FiKt.D four years ago, is now support
ing Ci.kvki.and and Hemiurks. it
looks lovely.
Tiir Faris Freo Tongue awks, "will
Baknv Gii:bs accept tho nomination at
IIotiHton on a freo grass pint form ?"
Will tho editor of that paper catch larks
if tho heavens fall? It in juiit as rcason
aldo to suppose ono will happen as the
Oilier.
Public (rambling will soon lie a tiling
of tlio past in Texas. It is being made
an issuo in very many eounlies, and
thoso wh oaro offering for ollice in several
counties nro rcfjulrud to slate their posi
tion on tho question. How is it in Tar
rant .county?
The ladies in Weathorford last week
in two hours secured ilVl in donations to
aid them in securluga proper represen
tation at tlio World's Kxposition. Tlio
ladles of Weathorl'ord aro possessed of
t winning ways nnd the geiitiemon nro
liberal and chivalrotm.
T m: Free Tongue starts out brash for
a no w paper. 1 1 opposes I ii ki. A n n, i i ii ns,
tho majority rule, IIakiu:, the lease law,
and in fact it seems to bo against every
thing. Tho editor has always possessed
tho happy faculty of getting on the
Wrong sido of nil questions.
It will not bo long beforo emissaries
will bo sent South to induce negroes to
emigrate to Indiana and Ohio to vote for
Blaink. Tho indications now aro that
both of the States named will choose
Ci.::vi:i.am electors, no mutter how
large tlio importation of colored voters
nitiy be.
Tim HriiAt.u is in receipt of the fust
number of tho Kreo Tongue, published
at Paris, Tom M. lioWKi's, editor. It is
one of tlio neatest papers that has made
itsnpjicarauco in thu State. If the first
issue is nn earnest of what it will be in
tlio iuture, tho Free Tonguo will take
high rank with tho papers of the State
and deserve success.
Tiik AiiMtin Statesman is in error
when it assumes tho IIkiiu.d had refer
ence to thsv pit pet when speaking of the
opposition to lKKLAN'ti originating in
Austin. Th! Statesman was certainly
not in tho writers mind's eye ut tho time,
. for the eH'u.'.U put forth by that jouruul
1j Injure iRxi.Axn were not regarded us
of tho slightest moment or concern.
1 the roo-grass polloy should pro vail,
how long would it be beforo tho cattle
burons would be on tho ranges (Ixing
lines mid boundaries for their own
herds, and warning all others not to In
vade their promise. Whoro would the
farmer and smull stockman Ilnd a place
to till the soil or graze his stock? L'cho
answer, Where?
Tan snti-IuHLAND papers ure fixing

It Is sdmittod the Governor Is a man of

by their representatives in the Houston

Who believes that foreigners or Cut ho

A THIEF IN LUXURY-
Tho telegraph tells us that Jon.v ('.
Kxo, the fugitive New York bank Pres
ident, since lighting off tho officers who
went to Canada to extradite him for his
forgeries, has rented a "splendidly fur
nished" home in Quebec, lias been
joined by his family and is to live in all
modern style and luxury in defianco of
public opinion and the law. "We cannot
prevent a man's living in defiance of
public opinion ordinarily, but it is a sad
commentary on the timos that he can,
a common thief, live in open dofianee of
law.
Ono good result may, however, be an
ticipated from this man's im
pudence It will so arouse
public disgust and indignation that
wo may look confidently for a reform
and enlargement soon of our extradi
tion treaty with Canada ami (ireat Ilrit
ain. Wc cannot afford to allow Canada
to remain as an asylum ol rcfugo for our
criminals, whethor they bp high or low,
common pickpockets or defaulting bank
officials.
Our facilities of intercourse with Can
ada and Mexico are now ho extended
that they Neein but additional States of
the Union, and tlio extradition laws be
tween the United States and tlio.se coun
tries should bo as comprehensive, sim
ple and explicit as are the regulations
between our various States for the ap
prehension and surrender of criminals.
It is a disgrace to both tho United
States and tlio Dominion that a man like
T.No, who has robbed his business asso
ciates of millions by common forgeries,
anil spread ruin broadcast in hundreds
of families, and circles, u
man who is no better and
no nioro worthy of toleration by decent
people than a common thief, should be
able to cross a bonier lino a couple of
hundred miles from the sconce ofhis vil
lainy and live in open and delimit lux
ury under the actual protection of tlio
law.
A mono the most ably conducted paper
in tho State nro the Abilene Hoporter,
Montague Northwest, Cisco Itound-Up,
Ciainesville Itoglster, Decatur Post and
tho Tribune, Midland Reporter and
Denton Chronicle. These papers are all
located in what is termed tlio Northwest
of Texas, nnd they aro nil opposed to
freo grass. Tho larger number of papcrB
in tho west and northwest have ex
pressed no very decided viows on tho
subject oither way. Ono tliimr is vnrv
evident, tho froo-gras dogma of the
organs Is losing ground even in tho dis
tricts whoro they claim it, is nlmost uni
versally endorsed.
Ry what reasoning do tho Republicans
arrivo nt tho conclusion that, iuhnl-
will bo elected? Not a single prominent
Democrat, nor a Democratic paper, In
tho whole country has abandoned the
party or its candidates, whilo hundreds
..fk,. 1 l: i. . .i ,. . .
ul " hihuiiik itepuiiiican journals and
periodicals ilnd thousands of leading
meniDers or that party declare they will
not support IIi.aink, and nearly all avow
th. ir intention to vote for Ci.kvki.a.vh.
And these chanircs from Hi.aini: to
Ci.i:v::i,am) aro mainly in the doubtful
States. Viewing the nrosnects of both
candidates calmly nnd impartially,
tnero seems to be no earthly chance for
All;. Jir.AlXK's success.
Kvkhy dog has his dav and Ilir.i.v
Maiioni: is ending tho ono allotted to
him in Virginia. That State will never
again do him honor. When lie was
elected to tho Senate and took his seat,
it was some timo before it could be as
certained whether he would unite him
self with tlio Democrats or Hcpuhlicans.
lie joined the hitter unon M'omises mailn
liiiiithat he should control tho Federal
patronage of his State. He has not been
heard from since thu Chicago conven
tion adjourned, and his inllueiico and
name will soon be known no more for
ever. Tin: fence-cutting and the nester war
nlmost stopped immigration to tlio
western counties of tho State. The ar
rogance and intolerance of tlio lords of
tho lariat drove many families mvav
who went there to make periniieul
homes. Since the lease law has been in
lorcothiit section of the State is again
being settled up rapidly by farmers and
small stockmen, which is shown in the
increase of children of scholastic age.
The barons do not live on the ranges,
tlio cowboy. have no families, and this
increase in children must be the result
of iictu.il settlers go: ng there to reside.
Ir tlio Republicans aro dofeniod in
November, and tliero seems little doubt
of it now, as is their custom, they will
no doubt expect a new organization un
der a new name, which will probably bo
tlio 1'rohibilion-Urooubaok - Womans
illgl ts- Workingnioii - anti-Monopoly
Protect ion-Tai'iff-aiiti-Catho!ii:-miti-Clii-nesc-l'eople's
parly. It will be immense
Miid will take in Wash J.k.h, lli.n
Tati. ill and freo grass, and all other
diminutive creeds nnd factions.
GknkraIj' 1ihian -ys twenty-five
years ago our national credit was at h
low condition. Tho demagogue! Tlio
country wanted no credit then, for the
Republican party had not been In power,
and tho national debt was almost a
myth. It whs tlio Republican party
created the national debt, and tho ruin
ously low prices nt which they sold tho
bonds and tho excess! vo Interest paid
on them is whnt caused those bouda to
roach about a par valno.
Tub froo grass advocate cry out
against monopolies, and yet tho very
measures they propose would (tire to tho
lordly cattlemen a mono)Kly surpassing
in its proportions any other in tho coun
try. Froo grass and freo snltn of land Is
in truth giving to the barons tho wholo
unoccupied domain of Tcias. They
would soon, by purchase or Intimida
tion, cause every smsll stockman or
farmer to sock more congenial localities.
IT was tho custom of candidates, in tho
early history of this country, to kiss all
tho ladles belonging to their respective
parties, when canvassing for votes. If
this custom still prevailed, it would lie
Interesting to witness tho gum-guekiiig
operations of the Republican candidates

Dallas. Iu a wui in summer's day what

AN OLD WORD WITH A NEW MEAN
ING. Tho Philological society of London is
about to issue "a now l'.nglish diction
ary on historical principles," edited by
Jamks A. II. McnrtAY, I.L.I)., to contain
1S7,7!I main entries, and with the sub
sidiary words 2:1,11.) entries of words
current and obsolete, (iooniucil Poi:
tkii's great American Webster contains
lll.Oiio words only, and tho new diction
ary is expected to supercede Webster's.
The aim of the publishers is to furnish
nil adequate account of tho origin, his
tory and meaning of every English
word now iu use or known to havo boon
in use from tho earliest period of tlio
language. In prosecution of this aim it
shows how, when, iu what shape and
with what signification each word be
came English; what developments of
form, pronunciation and meaning it has
since undergone; which of its original
uses and forms stn vivo nnd which are
obsolete, and what new uses havearisen,
by what process and when. Tho new
work will bo published iu parts and
will be years undergoing completion.
The society requests aid in collecting
old words witli new meanings, and it is
the purpose hero to respond to that re
quest. Gentlemen of tho Philological society,
tho wor.l "tattoo" originated among the
savages of tho Indian Ocean. It was
lirst applied to the art of decorating the
human hide indelibly with figures in
blue, representing almost anything,
from a frog to a dragoiieso god. Now it
applies to a Presidential candidate
whose character is spotted. Puck in
vented tho now definition, and it will
stand ineffaceable, indelible more so
than the India ink pictures on the hu
man skin.

ment settles tho merits of the bill id' the
minority of the committee. I will leave
its further discussion to liivoollougueon
the committee, Mr. Thompson.
Where is the hardship imposed noon
these companies by the provisions of
the lneasuro under consideration?
lly the donations of the Goveij-iTfent
ot millions of acres of the public domain
and the loan of its credit to the extent
of iiil.iHKi.ODo thev have constructed the
main lines ami branches of their roads
extending from the Missouri river to
the Pacific Ocean. Out of the earnings
ot theso main lines, thev have paid Die
interest on their bonds ami stocks
largely owned by . themselves. Not
only havo they become millionaires
from this bounty of tlio Government,
but they havo constructed and loused
multiplied hundreds of miles of road
outol tlio earnings of their subsidized
lines, and to-day theso two corporations
very largely control tho internal mid
transcontinental commerce of tlio coun
try. it savors more of fiction than of real
ity to say that twenty yours ugo, on tlio
Pacific slope, tliero were less than half a
dozen indh iduals, of little note and
limited means, who availed themselves
ol the bounty of tho Government and
constructed a railway from Sacramento
in California, toOgd'en, in Utah Terri
tory, and from Sacramento to San .lose,
adislance in all of about eight hundred
ami sixty miles. This extent of road
received from the Government a grant
of lands amounting to Pl,tKill,()00 of aures
and a loan of the Goveriiment bonds to
tho amount of $-7,tf5,(ist). According to
Ine estimated valuation ol'tbocompanv
they still own of Uiimo lands in value
Si' y00,i)iM.
From this beginning of eight hun
dred and sixty miles ol' subsidized road
this company liasstretcheil opt its iron
arms to Oregon, throughout, the length
and breadth of California, through Ari
zona, New Mexico and Texas tto the
Sabine, and beyond to tho eitv of Sow
Orleans, operating under this system
near ,ri,mJ miles of rond, In addition to
this their lints uro penetiating inio (he

ested in, if they do not control, 7:iS miles
more of road in Texas, mid other lines
reaching out from St. Louis, and still
oilier long lines extending from the
.Mississippi to tlio Atlantic seaboard.
This close corporation of 1, s
than a half dozen individuals own,
opei::'...i and control these vast mid
princely properties, aggregating mill
ions of dollars in value.
Tho Union Pacific system owns, oper
