profits arising from the price of blood

this is just what "license" makes it.
The State says (virtually) to the saloon

GENERAL JAMES PINCKNEY HEN
DERSON.

We are indebted TO Mr.. Henderson,
of Dallas, nephew Of the lamented
Governor Henderson, for handsome
photograph of the distinguished states
man, copied in very artistic man
ner by A. Freeman, photographer, Of
this city, from n picture taken many
years ago, while the deceased was n
young man.
Born in North Carolina, James Pinck-
ney Henderson came from Mississippi
to Texas, "a n captain of volunteers, In
1886. BY President Lamar he was APP
pointed minister plcnipotcntiary and
envoy extraordinary 70 France, in
which capacity he procured tho French
recognition of our independence, and
effected most favorable treaty of
amity, navigation and commerce be-
tween the republic of Texas and the
French government. Having married
an American lady in Paris, he re-
turned to Texas ut the close of 1889,
and settled as lawyer at San Angus
tine. His success at the bar was long
and brilliant in the extreme.
In 1916 he was member of the con-
vention which framed our first state
constitution, and in November OF that
year was triumphantly elected the first
governor of the state. He was in
stalled on the 10th of February, 1916,
the day that the republic ceased and
the state was breathed into life.
The signs portending war with Mex
leo, Governor Henderson applied to
the legislature for permission to COM
mand the Texas troops in person,
which was promptly granted. Imme-
diately following the first shock Of
arms Mt Palo Alto and Resaca de Ia
Palma, he was found under General
Taylor, with the rank of major general
commanding the Texas troops. In the
three days siege of Monterey he won
high encomiums from his men and the
sturdy old commander-in -chief. With
Colonel Jefferson Davis and others, he
was appointed by General Taylor one
Of the commissioners to negotiate for
n capitulation of the Mexican army
under Ampudia, which was success
fully done. Completing his term of
services as governor with the year
lS47, he resumed his residence and
profession and remained in private
life till November 0, 1867, when he
was elected United States senator, to
succeed General Rusk, deceased. He
received every vote in the senate and
all but three in the house of represent
talives. His services were short in the
federal senate. He died of consump-
ton in, Philadelphia, in 1859.
Such is glimpse at the career of
man of great ability, lofty patriotism
and irreproachable integrity, whose
memory is honored throughout the
state of his adoption.

We cannot, In view Of the past, sup
port men ofthepariy who have brought
such calamltles on this state, and we
regret that any democrat or conserya-
tive man should take different View
As to tho independent democrats, we
think they are IN error, but, 10 far as
we know them, they arc good citizens,
and we claim no right TO denounce
them rs Intentionally wrong, Two or

while we cannot support them, We
shall not assall their motives.
No democrat " morally bound to
vote for u nominee of his party unless
he can consclentlously do so, believing
him worthy Of the Office; but, unless he
has such an objection, the reverse Is
true, On no other principle eau polit-
lcal organizations be held together,
IL has been by such means, such m

1872 and again in 1873, that our state
has been thus far relieved of tho

We trust the election may he foirly

PAY no attention to ISLANDERS clrcu-
lated by radicals against democratic
candidates on the eve of the election.
1t is an old and disreputable practice
with men whose principles do not bear
public scrutiny. The democratic party
has no concealments from the public.
Ii has neither rings or cliques. The
greatest good to the greatest number
and equal protection to all, is one of
its essential notices. The attempt to
fasten the sins of the radicals on our
candidates Is rs thin as thin vapor.

The Same Old DeviI-HOrns, Tail and
AOOG

What the Democratic party would
do with the latest amendments to the
Constitution may be inferred from the
following frank avowal of opinion by
Fosters Democrat, of Dover, n. II.
That journal says:
We were always opposed to the
Fourteenth "Amendmnts, So called
to the Federal Constitution. In fact,
We never believed it to be an amend
ment in any just or reasonable or de-
cent sense of the term. And all the
so-called amendment, the Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth,
are alike in this respect they were le
gally adopted by force and fraud
which yitiates everything in the eye
IF law and justice.
The Democracy of the South are
now attempting to nullify the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States
to the extent of armed rebellion. Let
the Democratic party of the nation
once obtain control of the Federal
Government, and notification will
speedily become the rule through out
the country.
Knowing the record Judge Holman
made, when he voted against the
emancipation proclamation, when he
voted against the Thirteenth, Four
teenth, and Fifteenth Amendments
to the Constitution, We should like to
know how any Republican. who is IA
vorable to these vital measures for
the perpetuity of liberty, civil rights,
and equal and exact justice to all
men, can think for moment of vot
ing for this Democratic opponent OF
these great measures, and against
their Republican friend aud advocate.
Republicans of old Wayne, and the
Fifth Congressional District, you cam
na thus stultify yourselves. 1t is
either Holman-the recorded enemy
of these measures-or Claypool. their
fast friend. for whom You are called
upon to cast your vote next October
election. Choose ye.

For the Palladium
A DIRECT QUESTION.
To W. G. JeMerfs, Wilson Davis and
John Allen

At the dictation of the Society
of Freedom and Right" the Dem
ocratic State convention declared
for the repeal of the Baxter law
and in favor of the enactment uf a
license law. When the Peoples
Convention nominated you there
was nothing said on the Temperance
question. and when you were eli.
dorsed by the Democratic county
convention no expression was made
on that subject; and nothing has
came from you, gentlemen, since, SO
far as the greater part of the voters
in the county know.
Now gentlemen, we would like
to know whether the Democratic
endorsement of you as candidates
implies that in return therefor you
have endorsed and swallowed the
Democratic plank upon the liquor
traffic7
If you should be members of the
next General Assembly, would you
or would you not vote to repeal the
Baxter law and for the enactment
of a license law.
The honorable gentleman who is
a candidate for State Senator was
member of the Assembly that pass
ed the lately repealed license law
the statute of 1859. He voted
for that measure, and said long ago
that he did SO because it was the
most advanced legislation that could
be obtained; and that the receiving
of money for the sanction of law to
the traffic in intoxicating liquors,
and adding that money to the
school fund was like putting blood
money into the treasury of the
sanctuary,-or words to that effect
Is he NOW in favor of going back
to the system which was far short
of his wishes ten years ago; espec
tally when the proposition made IN
the Democratic platform has the
thin sugar coating of desire to
increase the school fund by the col
lection of more .blood moneyf"
Your answer. gentlemen, Is anx-
iously awaitedby
a TKxPERAScE GRAxeKR.

The Illinois Conference of the NJ.
E. Church, expressed itself decidedly
in favor of taxing church property, by
adopting q report thereon made by d
committee appointed by the confer
ence. The conclusion Of the report,
contains the gist of it, and is as fol
lows:
LAS the effect of taxing the
property of the church upon the in
tersst of religion, 1t appears to your
committee that It can be but bench
cial. 1t will show to the world that
the only favor the church asks of the
State is protection in her God given
rights. 1t will show that the separa-
ton between the church is exempted
from tax: ton, is complete, and whilst
mankind see the church rendering
unto Caesar the things which are
Caesars. they will themselves be the
more disposed to render under God
the things which are God :.
If one sect has its property exempt
ed all seets have the same right, and
il IS no difference whether the strue-
ture Is a ioss-house, a Mormon tenn
ple. a cathedral or synagogue, Cath
aIie or a Protestant edIhce. it stands
upon the same footing and Is entitled
to equal favor But the constitution
torbids the State TO aid any religious
denominations. and that laws which
exempt S3S2 600 600 worth of church
property (its value according to the
last census) from taxation, violate the
letter and spirit Of the constitution.
