THE PARR0TT PLAN.
Tho papors an 1 people of Texas
have, for sometime, been clamoring
for a feasible plan by which it good
sum oould ho raised for the purpose
of placing Texas in a oreditable posi
tion at the World's Fair. In today's
issue we prosent a plan by Col. R. B.
1'arrott. It is worthy of consideration,
is in every way practical, and feasible.
Co-oporation,'inst:nt and active, is all
that is needed to secure, at once, the
needed sum. Read tho plan in de
tail. The beauty of it consists in tho
fact the fifty "tho us and dollars can be
raised for the World's Fair and the
fifty thousand for Texas on whools as
well as the minor donations without
tho cost of a single cent to any one.
Those who take hold and by their
money nuke this grand ellort a sue
coss, mil scouro at the tituo full con
sideration for the ir.oney expended
by them And as tho plan providos
for the applications to bo Sent free of
ucnta'oominissious, tho donations will
also bo without cost to tho company.
It is, wo repat, grand conception,
and thoso who habitually carry insur
ance, .should investigate it, take stock
in it and thus secure insuranoo in ono
of the best companies in the nation,
and at the sanio time assist our loved
stato in this nor hour of need.
A morning paper is ghnoed ovr

Kin the business of the day to spare
tho time to road it carefully, hut the
evening paper coining about tho close
of business hours, is read leisurely
and carefully even to the advertise
ments in it, and its contents arc
talked over in tho family cuulo at
night.
Bill Sterrett is an exemplification
of the truth of tho adage, that "evil
communications corrupt good man
ners," since ho has become attached
to the corps of tho Dal.-tial. News, he
has imbibed its mugwumpish ideas,
and now considors demoorats havo be
conio scarce in the democratic party.
Tiu legislature has a compass and
chart to 3tcer by in the demooratio
platform .
The News is a democratic papor of
tbo ancient pattern, one of the blue
hen's chickens.
The carrying of a pistol or dirk is
contrary to tho statute, and very
rightfully m.ido so, as this praotioo ol
gointr armed is tho causo ot ninc-
tonths of the homioides. The pica of
self-defonse has come to be a sham
and a fraud, in the large majority of
oases tried in the courts, as tho mur
derer usually provokes tho dilTnulty
with malice aforethought, and is
watchful to run no porsonul risk. Tho
ollense ol carrying a deadly weapon is
not condoned by its owners being
acquitted of murder, as the ollense
was complete beforo tho weapon was
dr.iwn from its hiding place, and was
independent of the killing douo with
u If a man should steal a horse and
kill tho ollicer seeking to arrest him,
it is plain that his acquittal of the
charge of murder would bo no bar to
his conviction ol tho separate and
preoeding crimo of theft.' Tho same
reasoning and principlo apply to tho
carrying of a pistol contrary to law
that is a separate and distinct ollense,
and is eornplcto whether such pistol
bo btaudishcd or fired in the air, or
at a man, or conceded about tho per
son. The critioiam of the Cleburne
Chronicle on Senator luibodou's bill
is sophistical, Carrying pistols must
be stopped.
Mills deserved his re election by
undauntedly and unfalteringly stand
ing by the democratic party, last fall,
when faction sought by a coalition
with th ri publicau party, to defeat it.

for themselves. Tho 1 iw also urovides
that no napin shall appear twico upon

And so on for other officers Pen

the various ptov sions of the law.
The bill is carefully drawn, and is
intended to combine ull tho desirable
features ot the Missouri, Arkansas
and Texas laws regulating the ballot
The future of Waco rests upon the
oxertions of her citizens to draw pop
ulation, trade and capital. Live men
never fail to make a live city,
and mossbacks and old fogies never
miss lire when a city is to bo blighted
and ruined by unprogressive ways.

worst men in San Antonio are out of

Tho cifjatis of the bolters exhaust
the st oi chouse of culogium in their

tion. "Drowning men will catch at

"ii:
The taking ol two cabinet orYioois
from ono stato is cutting a rather fat
slice oil tho ham.
The News is ever ready to exploi
ts te any projeot likoly to holp Waco
It is identified with Waco and her in-
torests.
Henry Watcison deserves to be the
suooessor of Senator Carlisle. He '
the brainiest man in KLontuoky, and
a democrat without a fhw.
alajah Ilosch Harris did not happon
to have a dynatnito bomb to blow
Roger Q. Mills into mince meat. It
is bad policy to blufT with no hand,
Msjub.
Texas is about to enter upon an
era of prosperity unprecedented in
her past history, and tho calamity
howlers will soon seek thoir holes.
So mote it be.
The Day-Globe forgets that Mills
has boon a senator for two years and
has done nothing to call for his being
defeated. In 1861 he was a candidate
along with other demoorats.
Severtl newspapers and correspon
dents manifest spitefulncss, approaoh
ing rancor, towards Senator Imboden,
but Imboden has too much vitality in
him to bo damaged by squirt guns.
Tin; Ni:vs repeats it- former sug
gestion, that district courts with ex
clusive criminal jurisdiction bo estab
lished in Fort Worth, Dallas, Hous
ton, Galveston, Austin, Waco, San
Antonio, Shorman and Palesiino,
making ono judge hold the courts in
two of the above named cities. Alter
nate terms of throo months might be
held in eaoh city giving oach city
six months in tho yoar lor criminal
trials. Tho separation of oivil and
crimial businsss in tho courts would
in itself bo a great gain, and would
provent a glut of casses on the dookot.
A judge having only to doal with
crimiual oases could easily mako
oriminal law a specialty and become
thouroughly conversant with it. Tho
oivil court judgo oould make a speci
alty of that branoh of tho law.
The Capital National bank, of Lin
ooln, Nob., has just gone to smash,
with deposits to the amount of f 67)0,
000. Tho holders of its bills are
amply protected by the deposit of
Unitod States bonds, but the deposit
ors will lose heavily. Had this col
lapsed national bank been a state
bank, Tom, Dick and Harry would
have raised a droadful howl and
uttered no end of "we told you so's."
Assinus Brann is still serving up an
"assinino foast of sow thistles and
brambles," for tho readers of the Ex
press, and imagines it is a repast sur
passing those of Apilius and Luoulus.
Farmer Shaw has another leather in
his cap, Brann haa shakon his '-dried
bladder, loaded with beans", and fired
his pop gun at Shaw. 15rann's enmity
to a Texan is a letter of recommenda
tion. Ex Governor Roberts has lived a
laborious and useful life, and has
earned a rest from labor iu his old ago.
Ho is right in putting oil the harness
in his old age.
A BUI Providing for tha Australian
System Throughout the State.
Ropro.sontativo Howell, of Marion
oounty, has prepared a bill for inline
diate introduction, the effect of which
will be to apply tho Australian system
of voting, or a system modeled after
it, to all elections held in Texas, from
presidential eleotors to municipal and
precinct offioers. Tho bill provides
that there shall he no registration ro
ijuired exoept as already provided by
law in cities of 10,000 or more, and
that nominations for state and distriot
offices trull bo ocrtified to tho seoro
tary cf etate by tho proper convention
officials, and thoso of oounty or pro
oinct offices shall be certified to the
county cork, and those for any mu
nicipality shall be certified to the city
secretary or mayor. Fees are provided
in the sum of $10 to be paid by
nominees for state offices, $7 50 for
congress, and $5 for district oflioos,
3 for county otlioes, and 1 tor mu
nicipal and precinot ofliccs.
The names of candidates for state
and distriot offices aro to be oertified
to tho countp commissioners of oach
oounty by the secretary of stato, and
it is illegal to print names upon tho
ticket not so oortified.
Booths aro provided for evoTy fifty
voters, and tho provisions proteoting
tho voter under the Australian system
now in force in the largo oitios are
applied gonerally.
Tho distribution of ballots except
in munioipal eleotions is to be mado
by the sheriff, except whore he is
himself a oandidato, iu whioh evont
the county commissioners seloct sorco
one eUe for this duty. The state un
