State to build protection levee. She
wants law granting right Of way and
power to condemn private property and
use it for such levee, and wants lands
donated. The towns away from the coast,
depending upon railroads, care but little
for the Gulf trading post, and will oppose
special legislation for the benefit. of Gal
weston. The Ne,os says of the convention:
at is certain that more considerate coun-
sells, more liberal views, and more gener-
GUS aspirations must prevail, or the public
,disesteem which is falling upon the con-
vention will be intensified into whitening
fierceness.
With the Changers turned to chaff and
voting with the Republicans, and wither-
ing fierceness falling upon the members
generally, the Democratic constitutional
convention must be in bad way. The
Waco Reporter speaks of the honorable
body as a bitter pill, and yet it is very
expensive medicine, making the State
sick instead of strengthening her consti-
tuition. The Reporter says: "The con-
vention will adjourn, the new constitu-
tom will be submitted, it will be re-
jected, and the gentlemen who framed it
will retire to private life the worst politi-
cally damned set Of men, collectively
speaking, whoever aspired to civic dis
tinction, or sought to legislate for an in
telligent people" There is no usurpa-
ton in Texas, yet the people are I'M
happy,

How many conventions have been
called for the first Wednesday in January
is now the leading question ameng the
uninitiated. We look in vain to the
organs Of "all the elements opposed to
Republicanism" for solution of the
problem. Their views are evidently as
confused as their statements. The Bee,
for instance, informs the readers below
Canal street that "a Democratic conven-
ton has been called for the first Wednes-
day in January" The Picayune is au-
thority for our supposing it to be Soon
sentative" convention, while the Times
and Bulletin agree in naming it the
Democratic Conservative convention. :"
These contradictory authorities are very
confusing to lay inquirer of the opposi-
ton faith, who is sincerely anxious to
know by what name he is to be called
during the ensuing year. The Repub-
licans, of course, have to>depend entirely
upon the organs .or their information, as
the party has pretty well ignored the Off
cial head of their central committee.
How many conventions will there be, and
how are they to be labeled?

TEXAS sTATEsMANsHIP.

While Ohio has been in the throes of
painful election commissions, while Ne
braska and Iowa have been setting their
Republican houses in order, Texas has
had constitutional convention, Demo-
cratic State Constitutional Convention,
which has been legislating away out in
the Lone Star State, through drouth and
flood, cyclones and gales, unmindful of
the peoples wishes, and regardless of cost.
The Democratic State Constitutional Con-
vention has been at work about seven
weeks. 1t met to tinker the constitution;
those instrumental in getting it up con-
cluded new constitution was necessary
to keep the State forever Democratic, and
the thinkers have tried all plans and &C.
complished nothing. They appear to be
legislating for all time, and are doing more
than was expected of them. They whack
away atthe railroad systems, at the judici-
airy system, at public education, at bills of
rights, at qualified suffrage, taxation, Of
fee holding and everything else. Some
days they abolish the Office of Lieutenant
Governor, then they decrease the salary of
the Governor, and candidates for future
Legislatures fear there will not be o job
left by the time the Democratic consti-
tutional fellows get through. In some
States the idea prevails that if poll tax
is established, followed by law requir-
ing all voters to show at the polls receipts
for poll tax paid, great many colored
men could be temporarily DISTINGUISHED.
The Texas constitutional Democrats tried
that on, but the Changers bolted and de-
feated the poll tax suffrage qualification
by voting with the Republicans. And
then the Changers are lampooned by the
Democratic organs. One headlight says:
''The trouble is, that the Changers in the
convention do not represent the real inter-
ests of the Changers out of it. 1t is ma
tural that the chaff should hurry to the
top, and the men who are floating on top
in this Granger flood. are not the ones, as
general thing, in whom to place i'm
plicit confidence. The Galveston people
want something done and are not likely
to get it. Galveston wants help from the

We make this overture and challenge to
the Democracy, though we have no idea
that they will assent to any measure which
will deprive many Of the aspirants of the
chief inducement to political excitement.
We therefore confne the discussion Of the
perils Of patronage to its effects upon con.
tinued Republican ascendency.

MINING STATUTEs.-We are in re-
ceipt from the author, w. A. Skid
more, of a copy OF the "Revised Min
ing Statutes of the United States" The
volume numbers IlS pages. and is well
gotten up. All of the national laws
relating to mineral lands are grouped
together in convenient form, and the
book is certainly n of the most use
full that has even been issued on the
subject. Every lawyer, miner and
mine operator should have a copy Of
the work.
