In Philadelphia, says the Timos, out
of the 1,500 lawyers in the city nine'
tenths of them are church members!
They are all religiously inclined, but
some lean toward Bon Ingersoll's
church down this way.
The Nineteenth Legislature only ap
propriated $100,700 of which $91,000 went
to pay veterans under tho present law,
This certainly would relieve the Nine

but the trouble was in iholr economy of
needed legislation.
Lot Wuia ht's displacement as marshal
of the southern district of Ohio gives em
inent satisfaction. There could be but
little doubt as to bis partisanship, but
that quality was as necessary to a Re
publican officeholder as was his
monthly draft on the treasury.
A man killed his wife in London the
other day becuuso Bhe wouldn't givo
him money to buy whisky. Had she
been more generous the result might

at royal expeiiae.
Tub GleuRose Citizen is not far wrong
when it says in reference to a certain
candidate being good ' gubernatorial
timber, "but the boat of timber can be
soaked too long for special purposes.'
There is some danger, too, from the
mannor In which prohibition looms up,
of a good deal of that species of timber
being water-lnirgpd.
The speech of Judge Terbkli. at
Columoiu has boon very extensively
commented on by the Texas proas.
There can be but one opinion as to its
ability, but some of the papers soem to
find in it sontlment of a communistic
character. Junius Tkwiki.l is one of
the ablest and mostciiltlvated mon, not
only of Texas, tut tho country at large.
Tub cholnra in Spain is spreading
iuto several provinces, and other gov

quarantine against vossels from all sus

sanitary measures can furnish Im
munity from ill introduction into this
country.
Yeaobr, who, it is charged, mur

Tub City of Panama is reported quiet
and yet martial law is enforced there. It
may be the military will keep peace aa
effectually in that city as it did in the
house of too Arkansas man who had a
vixen for a wife, lie told his better half
that he was a mild-mannered man, but
be kept the ramrod outside of the gun
to whale sheol out of her if she "don't

Uos. J. D. Taylok, who launohed
forth in that wonderful Ohio manifesto,
oubt to read this, from the Bolton
Reporter: "The citizens or Cameron
have invited bx-Pukhideici Davis to
be present at Hood's Brigade reunion
on the 27th." The spasms into which
bis patriotio frame would bo plunged
would equal the contortions of a bedbug
when touched with corrosive sublimate.
In reply to "PuuIIoub" TukIIkhald
weuld say that tho question on whl:h
the Uberuls were defeated was as to
the tax on beor. It was not as to
whether the revenue demanded should
be voted on or not, but whether it was
to be raised from beor or tea taxa lon.
It was a close vote and it Is said the
Irish contingent voted for tea to strike at
the government on account of Its reso
lutlon to renew the "Crimes in Ireland
Act." '
Thu difference botweou theCitvCoun
ell of Terrell and the School Board has
been adjustel, says tho Times, which Is
fortunate. Tub Ukrald notices many
tars in the development of the school
system, but.as "it requires time to settle
down uixiu unv particular nnllov. it l
not remarkable that those disturbances
rise. In truth it shows an earnostnesa
much preferable to the apathetto indif
ference which would secure perfect-
plain sailing.
The Marshall ilorald defines Its nosl
tlonoathe lease of the penitentlarlos
and soys that resumption has proved s
laiinio and. has been so demonstrated
by the experience of the past two years
that the last report of the penitentiary
management shows the couvlots are be
lng cared for at a loss to the State of $12,.
000 pi r month. This may all be true,
but one of the most dUlloult of State
problems to solve Is the quostlon as to
what Is bpst to be dono. Every plun yet
ueviucn nds oceu a failure.

SLANDER'S LAST THROES. I
The desperate straits of the Republi
cans Is shown In the character of
the proceeding of the recent con
vention at Springliold, Ohio. A very
small man, ' known ' as Mb. J. D.
Taylor, who was the temporary chair
man of the convention, made a speech
in which he doclared that "by a combi
nation of crimes, scoldents and blun
ders this government, with all its great
interests, has passed out of the control
of the party that saved it from treason
and disunity into the bands of a party
which through Its leaders sought for
four long years to tear It from its proud
place among the nations of the earth
and hurl Its dissevered fragments into
the vortex of anarchy and dissolution."
This is grandiloquent expression
from a small man, bnt the falsity borne
upon its face will rob It of an effect it
might otherwise have.
The Democratic victory of 1884 was
not won "by a combination of crimes,
accidents and blunders," but by an
universal uprising of the great
massos of the people who were heartily
tired of the "crimes, accidents and
blunders" that for twenty years had
characterized the party in power and
came well nigh "hurling" us into con
tempt among the nations, if not into
"anaroby and confusion."
Nor did the government In the fall of
1884 pass into the hands of a party
whose leaders had sought to-disrupt
the Union. Bayard, Randall, Til
den, Hancock, McClkllan, even the
President himself, wero all Northern
and Union men, and they are the rec
ognized leaders of the Democratic party.
They represent the best manhood and
thought of the United States, as they
represent its purest type of patriotism,
and certaiuly that element furthest re
moved from "anarchy or dissolution."
To such men the people have confiding
ly entrusted thoir bost interests, and in
such keeping thc-so Interests are abso
lutely safe.
At this Into daio it la liiorotlihle and
Impossible thRt anybody should bo iu
fluouced by such silly and disgusting
twaddle as that of this niiiu Taylor, or
of the Ohl j Republicans. It is one of
those States joined to Its Idols, and the
Democrats can, without any great loss,
afford to lot it alone. But the fact of so
dirty, unfounded and slaudurous an at
tack at this time when L'omocracy is so
valiantly striving to givo tho Union a
pure and good government, is hut
anotbor illustration of the dcp'.lis of i ; 1 -famy
and falsehood to which thtu cor
rupt Republican parly U1 descend to
keep alive ancient pn jiulices and re
gain the power whi .-h they so long on-
Joyed, but so lonir and persistently mis
used.
A NEW DEAL IN ENGLAND.
The Quocu has accepted the resigna
tion of tho Gladstone ministry, the
dispatches say, and asked the opposi
tion to form a Cabinet, the Marquis of
Salisbury being the responsible head.
Ho has nolther the learning nor tVo
ursadtb of statesmanship that Mil.
Gladstone possesses, nor does he eu-
Joy from Europe or the world at large
that contldence which has been so un
stintedly given to Mu. Gladstone, but
he Is possibly the most powerful and
prominent of the Torios and Is the best
seloction the Queen could make from
the ranks of that party.
The Irish troubles still unsettled; tho
Russian dispute still undetermined;
the finances In a bad condition and the
Egyptlon questions forcing thomsolvos
to the front, with general disquiet
and dissatisfaction throughout an em
pire on which the sun never
goes down, the Tories or Conservatives
have before them in assuming power
and taking charge of the government a
most Herculean task. They may prove
equal to the occasion. More aggressive
than the Gladstone ministry, those
Tories may force Great Britain to tho
front again In European polltios, but all
the probabilities are that the loss of the
cautious and wise councils of a states
man like Gladstone, who Is at tho
same time a philosopher, will bogrlov
ously felt by England In her present
threatening complications with nearly
all the world.
A LESSON FROM THE PRESENT
Our correspondents from Ellis, one of
the representative counties of tho State,
Inform us that crops aro excellent and
corn, particularly, extraordinary, not
withstanding tho gloomy prognostica
tions of a few days since. Tho sime re
port as to graiu comes from nearly all
other sections of tho Stato, but the cot
ton la not so promising. Tho fact Is a los
son for our planters and farmors. There
Is scarcely a year in Texas wheu all
crops fail small grain and cotton and
until a greater diversity 1b observed In
the planting bard times may be annu
ally anticipated. If cotton fails wheat
and corn are gonorally good ; If wheat
and corn fall cotton turns out anion-
didly, so that tho lesson of the present
and, indeed, of all past seasons Is thst
tho greater the diversity in tho crops
the more small grain and the necossl
ties of tho tablo and home the more
prosperous will be our agricultural
population. Bad years will became
things of tho past.
The Republican correspondents from
London who have elected to say
that London was surprlsod to And
Minister Pu elfs and Consul Wai.li.r
gentlemen (because they were Demo
crats), are simply impudent prevarica
tors, exposing their own flip Ignorance.
The English, above all othor people,
know what political derision means,
aud the Peerage Is apt to be Liberal as
Try. But the Iniu.onno travel from the
United States the numbor of rest
dont Americans in Loudon tho
exahaugu of papers and the
constant extracts from them as
to what Is ti suspiring In this country
the full and dally cablegrams, with very
many o'her mmnsworable aud most
obvious r-mso how at once that
neither Bi (tons nor correspondents have
entertained lor one single motnout an
emotlou of surprise that a man oould be
a gentleman aud a Democrat at one and
the same lime. It Is only the dying
hake of tho Republican serpent's tall.
Sam Jones, the groat preacher,
ays: "The gentian is nothing
more thau a hugging match
set to inuslo," but Charles
ton inventor has hit upon a plan In
void all this. He affixes a knob to tl
lady's waist aud when a gentleman gets
her consent to waits she offers him the
handle, which be takes hold of, and
away they drltt into "the nissy." This,
to the average youth, Is very niuoh like
ooueo without sweetening.

staclesin the way of selling liquor as I
now exist and force the saloon men to
sell bad stufl. It says: "Though not fa
natic, we are really anxious to witness
the discomfiture of tho 'Hydra Mounter
Rum,' and would gladly hail tho han
uers of temperance triumphantly float
ing on tho balmy breezes of our God-fav
ored State. But judging from the past,
the dispassionate observer has scant
room lor flattering anticipation. The
line ol campaign pursued by its advo
cates from the times of Father
Matthew to tho present da', afford lit
tle room for hope in the future. They
have assailed the monster from every
point. They have attacked him in front,
flank and rear, with every engine and
missile to be found in the arsenal of
grim visage 1 Meloch but to no avail.
King Alcohol still sits enthroned, and
his devotees wearacomplatsant smile of
conscious Strength and security." But
the prohibitionists deny thoir failures
and say Prohibition is thriving every
where. The wide issue of facts will
make an interesting campaign unless
other questions should be lugged In. By
the way, to-morrow the vote will be
taken in many places.
One of the most instructive lynch
ing ever committed was that upon
Terry, who had murdered a man in
Liberty, Virginia, undor most aggra
vated circumstances. It seems that
but a short time previous two murders
of a very scarlet charaoter had boon
committed one in Amherst and the
other in Rockbridge County. The mur
derers escaped on the plea of insanity,
and Terry's friends proposed to ac
quit him on the same defense. Fearing
this the people resolved to make insan
ity a dangorous pica In the future.
Both parties belonged to lflffco and lu
ll uential families and it is foarod the
trouble has only commenced.
The Hon. E. G. Ross, the newly-ap-
pointed governor of Now Mexico, en
tertains viowii in rogard to the treat
ment of hostile Indians that harnioni.e
with those so oftou expressed by Tub
Herald. He does not boliove that tho
heart of an Apache can bo reached by
liberal annuities of food and clothing,
but favors tho shooting or hanging of
ovary one who ougairos In murders aud
othor outrages. This means, wero it
adopted, would forovor detor them from

Tut: Central City Argus, cf Central
City, Kentucky, appears to know what
it is talking about. We have got pleuty
ot them In Toxa and th'j item is so ap

many won who can only rnnd and write
and oiphor to long division consider
themselves thoroughly competent to bo
elected to tho Legislature to make laws
for a great aud growing commonwealth,
whou in truth they are utterly Incapaci
tated for any public position whatever.
Thoy are lacking In noceasary Informa
tion to do justice olther to themselves!
or their constituents. Tho elevation of
such men is rapidly ruining the Stato."
Tiif.rk does not appear to bo a groat
and immediate danger of moving Bay

all. The editor of the Cltlzou heard the
discussion by the board oftrustoes, and,
among a dozen or so Important facts do
volopod, learned cortalnly two things
that would milltato against tho

Tub suggestion that the govormont
distribute the silver dollars now in tho
troasury vaults among the banks of the
country that will give good security for
the amount desired, Is a good ono. It Is
truo the banks weuld get interest on
this monoy without paying any to the
government, but It would put just that
much more money in circulation and
improve business In every department
and add to tho prosperity of the coun
try. Itsoems to be a wise moasure aud
ono that would bo popular with the peo
ple. "
All tho county officials or Tombstone,
Arizona, appeal to President Clkve-
land for protection against tho in-
diaus. Thoy assort that the host lies are
killing the ranchers and destroying
property and that the soldiers are lu
compotont to do anything. If a few
western frontiersmen wore employed
by the government to oporato against
these Indians they would do more ef
fectual service thau the whole army
ol United States, officered by men who
recolved their military oducation at
West Point.
Tub National Cotton Exchange, un
der date of Juue I), gives most flattorlng
accounts of the growing cottou crops all
over the country. Tho report says that
east of the Mississippi the condition is
fully as good or better than last yoar;
west of It the situation Is decidedly more
favorable, while In the Mississippi bot
toms there is a marked advantage In ev
ery rospoct. If the weather continues
favorable Texas will produce a crop
fully up to an average, aud la addition
there is an increase of nearly 10 per
cent. lu acreage over that of last year.
Tuky must be having good crops out
in Wilbarger, "sure euough." The
Vornon Guard speaks of Judor Drtrt,
a farmer, who walked Into Its office a
few days since with some very Hue
specimens of rye, oats, wheat, etc., say
ing that all his crops were as good as he
oould possibly doslro. Now whou a
tiller of the soil talks that way you may
believe In the truth of what ho says, as
farmers are very prono to dospoudeucy,
which la easily accounted lor, as they
have so much at stako.
