II Texas legislate fiercely against lotter-
les, may we not succeed only in giving the
Havana, st. Louis, Kentucky, and other
State lotteries monopoly of the business
There is only given number who. deal
with lotteries, and buy they will at home
or abroad. The business is only epheme-
raj. The passion for lotteries aud lottery
gambling is like that for velocipcdes or ra-
GERS or kites among men or boys, and runs
its course and there's an end ont. The
disease has wasted its force in Texas, and
lotteries, happily for the people, are dying.
The sad. eclipse of the huge concern at
Louisville, and the multitude Of petty little
swindIing shops everywhere, organized in
imitation Of the great exemplar, have
finally cured the country OF an ephemeral
disease. Somebody would have the lottery
business made impossible by cOnstitu-
tiend prohibition. This has been tried
and asoften failed of its purpose in many
States, and the convention might as weM
issue bull against the next comet. Leave
it for the pulpit and Legislature, and for
the press and schoolmaster.

j. A. McFADrN, of Georget own, in an
able address to his Grange, urges the
readoption of the Constitution Of 1S45.
John Ireland will be awful mad when he
hears about McFadin's impudence IN talk
ing about such matters before those inro-
cent Changers, and ''Poor Richard" win
now go to bed with the rest of the family.
It is enough, too, to make him sick to see
these ugly Oranges disregarding his pro-
found philosophy.

.
THERE would not be so many candidates
for. Office il the salaries OF bar tenders were
raised. So thinks the San Antonio Herald.
But the Herald will be forced to change its
opinion. The thorough discussion of the
powers Of John Ireland has evolved another,
showing party managers that if they
do not nominate proper candidates the peo-
pie will not support them. Democracy is a
good thing, but when omnipotent, no one
daring to criticise, it becomes tyranhical.
Tell of its faults and the great cock of the
walk crows, and all the little roosters catch
the echoing refrain and the whole barn
yard cackles. Nobody with weak nerves
can stand it, and therefore the supposed
supreme potency of Hon. John Ireland. But
all these good people have seen how very
many Democrats in Texas have the audacity
to think occasionally for themselves and
we are well satisfied that the district con-
ventions VIII make good selections Of
candidates. If they do not the people
shll have the remedy in their own hands.
Radicalism is dead in Texas. 1t has lost
Office and thus lost everything. Devoid Of
patriotic purpose, and infamous here as in
Alabama, where spencer's enormities star
tie mankind, we have nothing to fear from
its action. The only danger exists within
that despotism of opinion which selfish par
tisans use by employing the machinery Of
compact organization. Just now there is
no need-for it and the people are well
pleased that Judge Ireland cannot WELD it.
1t will be time enough to use the club and
knock recalcitrant Democrats on the head
when the presidential election makes parti-
sanship a necessity and as desirable as
necessary. ~ paiah ~ os

DEAN SWIFT SAID, when contemplating
the fortunes of library association or of a
proposed cotton mill-it must have been
cotton mill, or railroad to Luling or Lam
pasas that he was thinking about: ''We
see, my friends, what God thinks of riches
by the hands in which He places them"
They are of the ''middle classes" who mo-
nopolize the public spirit Of country and
assure its pregressiYeuess, physically and in
.tellectuallys and it does seem that Dean
Swift knew precisely what he was saying
when he declared that God gave riches to
those who did least service to the world by
iinhabiting it, and that thus the God of the
universe intended to show how he condem-
ned the a1obe Of money The root of all evil
to him accursed of it, while money itself is
the source OF infinite good, But we would
gladly have several of our friends remain
at home this morning and con over the
apothegm Of Dean Swift. It constitutes of
itself an admirable sermon, and should be
written in letters Of gold over the archway
to the, Capitol, over the doorway to the
church, and, thus impressed upon our hearts
and memories, it may finally suggest the
way to an abode Of bliss where streets are
paved. with gold, and thus the lOvs of gold
at last becomes impossible.

q THE San Saba Meas has little reverence
for county conventions; and fears they will
make pretty kettle of fish of the consti-
tutioral convention The Esanainsr, how
ever, still thinks it the very thing, and
Hon. John. Ireland is altogether lovely.
How the Examiner will be affected by Gov
ernor Coke's letter, remains to be seen. But
what an almighty task the Examiner has
on hand There is-T. N, who is growing
troublesome, and threatens to tell all he
knows about the secret circular and about
the altered dispatch; and there is Hon.
Dick Hubbard, who must be gingerly dealt
with because he was almost persuaded to
go in deeply among the Oranges, and may
yet flop over among them any day; and then
his Excellency Governor Coke is out in a
letter which steers clear of Ireland aud of
the Oranges, and talks much after the fash
ion of the STATESMAN, and therefore most
sensibly; and above all these rises up the
majestic figure of the State Grange, which,
conscious that the creation of State gov
ernment' is not matter OF partlsansmp,
proposes to see that the farmers of Texas
are not again subjected to partisan Con-
stitution. Contemplating all these discordi
ant facts and irreconcilabIe elements Of In
congruity, the poor Examiner is cfazed by
difficulties it encounters. It is the organ
of Ireland; it is the organ Of both Cover
nors Richard, it must blow up Mel and
must hold on to the Oranges; it must stand
by Democracy as the only proper creator Of
organic law for Texas, and that excludes
the Oranges. In fact the Es0mia1er is in a
pitiable condition. 1t is an ''organ" with
half dozen cranks, and thus cranky or
gan, and whenever newspaper becomes a
bellows for any man or set Of men il, must
soon, lose public confidence, or separate it
self from these unworthy and ruinous alli-

GOVERNOR cOKEs PERSONAL
HONESTY


1t has been maiciously stated that Gov
ernor Coke sent abroad 1000 copies of his
message, aud that there was pre6xed to
each copy of this edition strong commen-
datiOn Of Mr.. W. W. Lang. The STATES
NAS is not Governor Coke's apologist or de-
fender, but such petty malversation OF pub
lie office was simply impossible. Governor
Coke has his vices of character, but has
never done an act that might bring dishonor
upon the position heflls. He is incapable,
however virulent his prejudices, Of mean
ness OF littleness. He doubtless sent abroad
among the Oranges the 1000 copies Of his
message as stated, even a copy to each
Grange in Texas. But Governor Coke has
money of his own, and had the perfect
right to do what he did with it. He paid
for these pamphlets and distributed them
to ,counteract the effect Of the STATEsMAN's
persistent hostility to his policy at the time.
We say this because the fair fame Of our
people and State would be befouled If their
chosen Chief Magistrate could be guilty Of
little peculations Of the character stated.

TRE REvOLUTTON ACCO1LPLLSHRD
JRRFEESOy nAvlSS WISRST
SPEECH

Mr. Jefferson Davis's speech before the
old veterans at Houston was the most sig
niRcant incident OF the week, the most i'm
pOrtant to the whole country OF the whole
year. Nothing like it has been spoken, or
dreamed or talked OF since 1875 rose up
out of the. immensitY Of the future to
sweep over our heads like summer cloud,
and backward into the grave of Oblivion.
No such utterance, big with the destinies
Of States and peoples, has fallen from mans
lips, be he pope or king or emperor or war
riOr, as the simple declarations Of Jefferson
Davis, pronounced before the old Texas
veterans. The whole country stood still
and listened intently while Jefferson
Davis, speaking for nine millions of his
people, said that Texans should be as faith
full to the Federal flag as were those old
heroes to whom he spoke to the banner
of the Texan Republic. That ends the
chapter. The last broken bond of union
was welded by those simple words. Grants
back was broken. The third term became
a vision Of the past. q Inter-oceanism, .
and toll-takers at the outrage mill were
paralyzed, and even the sweet face Of that
.delectable devil, Forney-who gloats over
the Philadelphia scheme of determination,
that the Pacific mail. swindle may be for
gotten 7eyen Forney's hates are appeased,
and the press was silenced that it might re-
cord the death-EuelIof sectionalism and of
hates and passions begotten. of hell-born
war. .gCi1s3 aua1
Yesterday morning, at every breakfast
table in America, wherever the lightning
communicates to man the thoughts, emo
tions and aspirations of man, that brief sig
nifcant speech of Jefferson Davis was tie
theme of conversation. Good and true and
wise men were gratifed that ne uttered the
simple but significant sentence, and we can
only reflect whata stupendous dolt was that
correspondent who attended and told of
the old veterans festival and of Mr.. Davis's
speech; and never once adverted to the soul
and body and substance of the greatest and
wlsest and most benefcent Gpeech that
ever fell from the lips of statesman or pat
triot. Now that Mr.. Davis has thus spoken,
we need only begin the task of achieving
by reason and moral force ends he aimed
at The absolute freedom OF States is only
consistent with a perfect and imperishable

THE Presbyterian Christmas Tree
was held on the evening of Christ
mas Day IN the church. The order
of exercises was singing by the chill
aren, recitations, and an address b,
Mr.. J. Hanse0m. The children ac-
Quilted themselves very well, both
in singing and reciting. Among
the number that sustained their part
well were two little girls about FIVE or
six years old, daughters of 7. Scott
Ansley and S. Z. Shepard. Each
recited admirably for children OF
their age, the latter, especially
spoke so loud and distinct as
to be heard in any part of the
church. The boys also did credit
to their training. The entertain
ment closed with the distribution of
fruit as presents, to the children and
teachers of the school, borne on u
handsome tree, which reached from
the floor to the ceiling, lit up with
candles and bowed down with rich
crop of presents. At the winding
up OF this pleasant Christmas enter
tainment,Santa Claus appeared with
flowing bcardl said to be madeof shaw

Of goodies" which he scattered in
all directions to the greas delight OF
all, except some Of the younger
children who were little frightened.

On the eve of the 25.h the usual
services were held in the p. Episco-

birth of Christ. The interior of the
ediiice was handsomely decorated
as becomes the time when the "glad

on earth, good will to man." After
the impressive ceremonies were CON
cluded, and the tones of the "divine

in evergreen boughs and red berries
of the mountain ash, and illumin-

which they shone. Then, when the
