THE WEEKLY BANNER.
BY RANKIN &T.EVIN.
THUKSDAV, APRIL 20, 1882.
Wi? have contended that pro
hibition does not prohibit. The
Meridian Blade, a prohibition
paper published in a prohibi
tion toun,5ays, "there is yet a
small quantity of whiskey sold
and a few loafers remaining."
If whiskey is sold at all, be the
quantity large or small, those
who want it will get it, there
lore prohibition does not
amoiyit to anything.
At St. Joseph, Mo., on Mon
day last the grand jury brought
in a true bill of murder in the'
first degree against the Ford
brothers for the "killing of Mr.
Jesse James, and on being
brought into court an hour or
two later they plead guilty and
were sentenced to be hanged
on the 19th of May. The sup
position is that Governor Crit
tenden will pardon botlv of
them. v

The disposition to scratch in
competent men is growing
stronger every day. A nomi
nation is no longc equivalent' to
an election.

The Dallas Herald says that
two-thirds of our public men
are over sixty years of age and
that younger and more active
men should be substituted in
their places. It objects to old
men because it ays they are
old fashioned and behind the
times. Its argument is that
during the past twenty years
the times have changed very
materially, and that the young
men are fully up with them
while the old ones are lagging
behind.
Railroad and land bills con
tinue to occupy the time of the
legislature. The Houston Post
remarks that "hitherto the state
has acted with singular gener
osity to the railroads," and it
may now be remarked that in
view of the benefits derived
from the railroads in the past
and the certain benefit to accrue
in the future no hostile legisla
tion should be undertaken. The
ultimate result ol adverse legis
lation will certainly effect the
interests ot the producers more
than any others,
i
Ve have received the initial
number of the Giddings Plain
dealer, a home printed six
column paper, Albert D. Rust,
editor and proprietor. It is a
very neat 'paper devoted to the
interests of its town and county,
anfl it the people want a county
paper they will certainly give it
a reasonable support. Mr. Rust
is an experienced and success
ful newspaper man and the peo
ple of Lee county are fortunate
in getting him,to start a paper.
Nothing docs more to keep a
county before the public than a
county paper.

JhO. F. Slator of Norwich,
Conn., has come to the front in
behalf of the African race in
a manner that will make his
name forever dear to the negroes
and all who wish them well.
He proposes to create a fund
of Sl.ooo.ooo to be known as the
"Jno. F. Slater Fund" for the
education of irecdmen. He sets
forth the general object which
he desires to -have exclusively
pursued is the uplifting of the
lately emancipated population
of the southern states and their
posterity by conferring upon
them the blessings of a Chris
tian education. Mr. Slater is
one of the wealthiest mill own
ers in Connecticut.
' Should the report of the ju
diciary committee on the con
stitutionality of the proposition
authorizing counties to levy a
tax of 25 cents on the one hun
dred dollars in the affirmative
prove to be constitutional all
difficcntly in the way of reduc
ing the state advalorem tax
will be removed, and counties
that are now crippled by levying
a twenty cents tax on the one iy
liundred dollars will be relieved,
as will also the municipal gov
ernments. The impression'has
prevailed that the counties and
cities could only levy one half
of the amount levied by the
.state, and that if the state re
duced taxation they would be
compelled under the constitu
tion to do so too.
Gov. John C. Brown; of the
Texas and Pacific railway on
Monday- evening delivered s
lengthy and exhaustive address
to the joint committee of the
House and Senate on Internal
Improvements. A majority, of
the members of the House were
present The governor presen
ted facts and figures to show
conclusively that the railroads
m Texas were not making any
money. The population and
area of Texas is given and com
pared with that of the more
populous old states. Massachu
setts has one mile of railway for
every 4.01 square miles of ter
ritory, while Texas has only
one mile of railway to every
eighty-three square miles of
territory. The facts and figures
introduced should convince the
legislature that their action in
reducing railway figures was
"ivnut inconsmer-
1 Corners.
The formation of corners in
grain and provisions in the ex
changes in the large cities like
St Louis, Chicago and New
York has proved disastrous to
those who did not happen to be
in the corner, and also to the
general public, who are com
pelled daily to buy those com
modities and pay ficticious
prices, prices not warranted by
the condition of the crop or the
visible supply. Corners in
grain have been formed and
prices forced up five, ten and
twenty per cent, and when the
corner men have sold as much
as they want, the Jjottora litter
ally drops out of prices and
those who have purchased are
left sadly out of pocket if not
completely broke. If none ex
cept 'the speculators suffered,
but little harm would be done,
but in addition to the specula
tors, consumers who are com
pelled to buy at outside figures
are to a limited extent placed
under contribution. The board
of trade at Chicago has before
it a scheme which, it is said,
would accomplish the object;
this is doubted. The Ohio leg
islature has recently passed a
bill forbidding' the sale of grain
or other commodity, except for
delivery, under heavy penalty,
but it is regarded as probable
that a sharp Ohio lawyer will
drive a coach and six through
the measure whenever tested.
It seems that there are some
things legislation cannot do. All
legislation against gambling has
proved a totol failure, so far as
stopping it is concerned. Laws
may be made against gambling
in grain futures, cotton futures,
or mining stocks, but opera
tions in them will go on all the
same. The difficulty is, that
the law could not define where
legitimate speculation shall and
outright gambling be held to be
gin. The Electoral Count.
Edmunds' electoral count bill
passed the senate unanimously.
Democrats and republicans sup
porting it and declaring it as
near perfect as could be expect
ed. As the bill has been re
ported unanimously by the
house it will likely become a
law. The bill is a complete
vindication of the democratic
views on th,e subject of the
electoral count, and carries out,
to the fullest extent, the doc
trine of state's rights, by mak
ing each state the sole and ab
solute adjudicator of its elector
al disputes, and authorizing it
to determine what are its elec
toral votes. This is to be de
cided by such state court as the
legislature or people shall
choose. The decision of this
court is final, and congress can
not go behind it. Should the
state fail to select a court for
this purpose, or should two
rival courts claim to have juris
diction of the matter, and two
sets of electoral votes come be
fore congress, the two houses
pass upon these votes separate
ly; and that set of electors is
accepted and counted vhich
both houses agec on; and if the
two houses fail to agree, both
sets are rejected and the state
loses its vote.
The bill is an acceptable"bne,
because it leaves the whole
question in the hands of the
'people of each state. It the
tribunals contemplated by this
bill are appointed, there is rfo
reason why any electoral dis
pute shall ever again come be
fore congress to create national
disturbance and give rise tn
electoral commissions. Had
the present bill been in force six
years ago the difficulties that
arose out of the cascof Louisi
ana and South Carolina would
have been impossible.
The San Antonio Times will
hereafter be sold on the streets
of that city at two and a hall
cents a copy. The newsboys
will be furnished with tickets
and when a paper is bought
and five cents paid a ticket good
for one paper will be returned.
This shows commendable enter
prise on the part of the pub
lishers of the limes and it re'
mains to be seen whether the
people of San Antonio will
take kindly to a cheap paper
or not The Times has been
established.about a year and a
half and is in a seemingly pros
perous condition.
A Telling Law. Mr. C.
Law, Jr., in conversation with
one of our representatives, re
cently said: "I have been a
sufferer from rheumatism, and
neuralgia for the past ten years,
and tried all kinds of remedies.
Having heard so much about
St. Jacobs Oil, I tried a bottle,

Pottstown (Pa.) Ledger.
During the time the James
boys were actively engaged in
business, from January 20, 1866
to September 7, 1881 the grand
total of their stealings amounts
to 5263,778. These were bank,
train, and stage robberies, and
extend from Arkansas to Min
nesota, including Kansas and
Kentucky.

Galveston having nothing
particular on hands is now en
gaged, for perhaps the twenieth
time, in discussing the means of
getting rid of car tickets as a
means of making change. If
tradesmen would refuse to take
them the nuisance would be
abated.

The Marshal Herald is a pa
per possessed of most excellent
wind and in its issue of Satur
day last it takes the Banner to
task, in an editorial a column
and a quarter long, for having
said that party politics had
nothing to do with municipal
and county elections. It says
that one would suppose that
the Banner editor had been
raised in some foreign clime and
was unacquainted with southern
republicanism. We would in
form the Herald that we are
thoroughly familiar with the
course of the republicans in the
south, having seen reconstruc
tion in all its forms and shapes
including the well known "cast
iron" oath that for years dis
franchised every democrat.
Those days are past, gone and
buried, the south has been re
constructed and now governs
herself in her own way and with
her own people. Davis and
those under him who rode
rough-shod over Texas have
been virtually retired to private
life. The Herald cites radical
rule in the city administrations
of Galveston, Houston, Austin
and other places; at the time
those big steals were going on
the radicals were in power;
now times have changed and
men have changed with them;
that the people themselves are
tired of party management is.we
think, amply attested by the re
sult of the recent election at
Dallas. The day and time has
come when the people them
selves are the party and they
propose managing it in their
own good way, instead of allow
ing the party to manage them.
Where radical rule has been up
set in municipal and county af
fairs it has only been accom
plished by a spontaneous move
ment on the part of all good
citizens who were determined to
have honest and efficient coun
ty and city officials; this has
been done in counties where
the republicans were in the ma
jority. Intelligent republican
tax payers are as- much inter
ested in an honest administra
tion of local affairs as are any
other class who pay taxes, or
have any interest in the com
munity in which they live. For
our part we are unable to see
how the abrogation of politics
and the selection of the best
men to office is going to result
in the success of the republican
party or the ruin of the democ
racy. If the people are unable
to manage their county and
municipal affairs without the
aid of party, in the light ot past
experience we do not see how
the party is going ta help them.
The war is over, the republican
politicians have been shelved in
the south and the people are
happy and prosperous, each
man attending to his own bus
iness. What has been done
cannot be undone and we must
now take care of the present
and prepare for the future. It
certainly seems as if our highly
esteemed friend of the Herald
had gone back about filteen
years and is totally oblivious of
the present.
President Arthur has sent
a message to congress recom
mending the immediate passage
of a bill appropriating "Sl.ooo,
000 for closing existing gaps in
the lower Mississippi in addition
to a like sum for which an esti
mate has already been submit
ted. The Georgetown Record
says, Jones wants to run for
governor, and will not endorse
prohibition. Homan and Do
honey, both strong prohibition
men, will support no one who
does not favor this measure.
Now, what will Jones do.
The Marshall Herald takes
exception to an article publish
ed by an east Texas contempor
ary and refers to the article as
a silly editorial written by a
silly editor. The alleged silly
editor ill probably go for the
Herald man.
The Dallas Herald is bitterly
opposed to the recent railroad
bill reducing railway fares to
three cents a mile. Such legis
lation is calculated to deter cap
ital from seeking investment
in Texas railroads.
The Denison Herald-News
says Missouri herself must
change before she can hy claim
to a respectable name. It does
not approve of the manner in
which the late Mr. Jesse James
was removed.
The Hillsborp Mirror wants
the. fish and game law en
forced. The way the streams
of the state have been denuded
of fish is a shame and if the laws
were strictly enforced it would
not be so.
The San Antonio Express is
plain spoken. Referring to rail
roati legislation it says that
members are red-hot for the pas
sage of radical measures, who
have not an intelligent idea of
the work in hand.
