it than when he floored tho Hoars

and political character he has done not
the South alone but the whole country a
service In suppressing that brood ot
vipers bred among tho rocks and fast

may be and we bare no doubt la guilty
of all ho Is charged with but he Is no
fool no bigot and no hypocrite We
can afford to giro the devil his due when
the lines are recalled that say
Naught on earth so vile doth live
Bat to the earth some special good doth give
He had the political sense to see as

that would if successful wreok the

the political adept stepped into

where thoy now lie howling like so many
fallen angels cursing and gnashing their
teeth in impotent and unavailing rage

A GROGGY COXTEMPORAIiY
Our esteemed contemporary the
GD News Is like a man halfseas
over or one that has been well rapped
over the sconce since tho indorsement
by the convention of the commission
amendment It appears to be very
groggy and wobbles suspiciously on its
feet Its tongue is thick and its ut
terances incoherent silly and threaten
lng It warns trillers to beware of the
elephant meaning we suppose the
vengeance of Warwick and say3 that
tbe True Blue Democracy rray not like
tho amendment when all know that
but for tho True Blue there would be
no commission If tho aforesaid True
Blue Democrncj gets waked up
wo are assured that tho amendment
will be snowed under like prohibi
tion True Blue Democrats havo been
and still are asleep it seems Well one
would havo thought differently at tbe
convention but those Democrats were
not what tb News considers true
blue Oh to bo sure They were
largely of that atrocious clas3 of crimi
nals known as young men and lacked
tbe necessr y moss and other acorotions
of time t fix the stamp of genuino
true blujj Simon pure Democraoy on
them ihey were a spurious nud
counterfeit article and not
worthy of regard Certainly to bo
sure But tbe question arlSLS what are
wo to do about it Their numbers ar0
formidable How is that to begotten
over A very pertinent inquiry to
which tho News answers that In addi
tion to tho True Blues who like
tho god Bel slept when their adversa
ries were at work there may be thou
sands of Republicans who havo their own
reasons for opposing this amendment as
they did prohibition
There you havo an answer to tho in
quiry and a solution of the problem
Political miscegenation An alli
nuce between Warwick and Wrlgh
Cuney botween the True
Blues and the Senegambians
Warwick ns genoralissimo would rear
tho standard of genuine Democracy in
tho van of the blaok host and proudly
lead the assault on the polls Tlier6
would be nothing wrong about that
thinks tho News for tho alliance ot
blacks and whites would make them all
True Blues seeking to vindicate the
rights ot the honest citizen independent
of party conventions A grand
scheme without doubt and one that
would cut a jolly llguro In the state

while the bayonets of the Travis
Rifles glittered in the glare ot the

and yelled tbe ladies clapped their hands and

There were ten speeches all brief and to the

the citizens M L Munford of Fort Worth
Jim Browning of the Panhandle James S
Hogg W D Wortham John D McCall ex
Governor Lubbock Editor Imboden ot the

OPINIONS ON THE SAN ANTONIO CONVENTION
Special to tbe Gazette
Dallas Tex Aug 13 In published inter
views in the TimesHerald this afternoon Hon
Tom Sash and Mr James Maroney the hard
ware merchant express themselves as well
pleased with the work of the San Antonio con
vention Bryan T Barry who was also seen
said lama Democrat I have always sup
ported the ticket and always will At the proper
time I shall furnish my vens on the platform
as I have not the time today
Judge Robert H West whose anticommis
sion views are so woll known said
Judge what have you to say on the platform
and the ticket named at San Antouiot
Well I hardly know whether it is best to
say anything or not after tbe battle is over I
am an anticommis3ion man and made the best
fight I could I am a party man I am a Demo
crat and I believe in party discipline
The railroad plank adopted is that a test of
party fealty Does it commit Democrats to the
support of the amendment
Well yes and no but I rather think It does
Under the circumstances the men who led in the
conventon dl J the best they could and the rail
road plank is not altogether objectionable The
subtreasury bill and government ownership ot
railroads had many avowed and vociferous advo
cates in tbo convention at San Antonio The
convention swept them aside gave utterance to
well defined Democratic views en these vital
principles and redeemed the party from all taint
of anarchy I am satisfied I am a party man I
believe in discipline I believe that a man can
be a Democrat and not subscribe to a certain ar
ticle ot political faitb or alleged article
Arthur P Gorman of Maryland is a Democrat
and yet Atrhur P Gorman fought the Mills
bill Then there is nothing objectionable from
your standpoint in the platform
As I stated to you before I am a Democrat
and on the question of committing the Demo
cratic party of Texas to railroad regulation the
convention did as well as coulJ be expected
On that point we close I regret the attack upon
the Fedeial judiciiry as I consider that the
supreme court of the United States stepped into
the breach and rescued tbe Democrt tic party of
tbe South from the hands of the pillagers in the
dark and gloomy days succeeding the close ot
our great civil war I again say I deeply regret
the attack npon Mr Justice Fuller and his asso
ciates However the fight is over We are
Democrats and the Democratic party Is greater
than any one man I am a party man I believe
in party discipline and the San Antonio conven
tion closed up the gaps We march oa together
to victory under the Democratic banner ot our
fathers

The Flames Extlngullied with Fine Wines
nnd Costly Silks
Not long ago there passed over the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe road a freight train with a
cargo that was probably never before equalled
in value by that of any freight train that has
crossed the mountains and plains since the
transcontinental roads were commenced The
train was drawn by two powerful engines and
consisted of tbirtyeight cars laden with silk
wine oil and sealskins tho latter portion ot tha
load being registered on the waybill as worth
59JOCO They are being taken to
London England to be dyed and are
a part of the first catch of the season The
silk and tea formed a part of th cargo of a Pa
cific mail steamship which arrived in San Fran
cisco a few days ago and are consigned to New
York and London merchants The wine is from
California and is consigned to New
York parties There were also two
cars of CaliforniA honey destined for
New Tort The contents of the thirtyeight
cars are probably worth 550000 On tbe way
across the Majave desert one of the cars was de
railed at the foot of a heavy grade There were
then two sections of the train A fire broko out
and the entire train was saved from destruction
by breaking open casks of wine aud dashing the
contents on tho flames while bales of silk were
opened and the rich fabric thrown across the
burning wood smothering the flames in a short
time

THE ESSKX HOO
A Claim that They Are the Most rrofitnble
nt Any of the Improved ISreeds
Richard Peters in an aiticlo in the Sonthern
Cultivator takes a firm stand in favor ot the
Essex hog which is no doubt one of the best in
America at present This partiality for the
Essex leads him unquestionably into errors in
regard to other breeds Buch as the Berkshire
and in his zeal for his favorite makes unjubt
charges against others He writes as follows
In the columns of the Southern Cultivator
you have had many articles of great interest to
your readers on the subject of swine and in ad
dition thereto I would like to give a few facts
about the Essex of the prescat day since they
have been increased in size and otberwiso
greatly improved by English and American
breeders I began experimenting with the Es
sex about the j ear 1856 and have made careful
selections of females from year to year and
avoided close breeding by obtaining the best
males to be found in England and America un
til my herd now equals any in thp world in size
of the breeding stock In fecundity it probably
excels that of any other herd For example
three of my matured sows farrowed bringing
fortythree pigs sixteen fourteen and thir
teen respectively Of these thirtytwo lived
and grew rapidly the mothers being capital
nurses
I have found the Essex the most profitable of
any of the improved breeds they are free from
disease are easy keepers and mature early
My herd has clover and tho gleanings ot the
grain fields and a good range in a wood pasture
thi carne < them through the spring and sum
mer and fall months Those intended for bacon
are given the run ot the pea fields and are made
ready for the knife with three to four busbeU of
corn per bead The Essex can ba fattened at
any age the only objection to them is tbeir be
coming too fat to be depended on as reliable
breeders when fed tbe usual amount of food al
lowed to other swine Thoje intended for
breeders should be allowed to get their living on
grass or in a woods range and started to breed
at an early age My killing hogs are ready for
the knife at eighteen to twenty months old
and can readily be made to weigh 250 to 300
pounds net at a cost of two to three cents per
pound The Essex as a rule are not carniver
ous I have bad sows attain the age of four or
five years and yet during tho twentyseven
vears that I have bred the Essex I have not seen
br heard ot a chicken or lamb eater
My observation shows that the white breeds of
swine are unsuited to a hot climate on account ot
the mange The Poland China and Jersey
breeds are large and mature late they are ad
mirably adapted to the Western country with
lowpriced corn but not profitable in a cotton
region The Berkshiies by many persons In the
South are highly valued but on my farm I
found them to be carniverous lamb and chicken
eaters and disposed to become wild when
allowed to run on a large range Very many ot
them also were affected with lung troubles in
dicated by a hacking cough Many breeders of
the Essex attribute the Improvement in the
Berkshire to a cross of the Essex made by tbe
English breeders In tbe management of my
herd for several years I have nsed kerosene oil
liberally both externally and internally to ex
terminate the parasites of the skin and tho in
testinal worms to which al tbe breeds of swine
are so liable in the Southern climate
