The latest count of the returns-offi
cial now in all but six ounties-shows
Mr.. Bigelow's plurality over Mr..
Seward to be 15,039, or some three
thousand more than the Tribune an-
nounced on the morning after election.
The parties in the three leading states
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
are thus found on the eve of presiden'
tial election. so evenly balanced that
a change Of, say eight thousand votes
in either Of them, would reverse the
result in these States.-[Nel0 YorI

We were yesterday shown, by
Mr.. VIM. Gill, jr., a deed of town lot
No. "a, which is the lot adjoining the
Colt House on the north, so feet front
and 150 feet deep. The deed bears
date March, 1896, and the first and
only time this property was transfer
ed as separate lot, The lot at that
time being centrally located brought
a good price, and was decided to Mr..
VIM. Gill by General David Mead,
for the sum of sac dollars. This trans
Ter was from one of his grandfathers
to the other, and the property has re-
mained in the family through the gen.
erations. The lot is worth now about
$4,000 which is very fair increase
in value in so wears. Our arithmetic
man is out; will some of our youthful
readers tell us at what percentage the
six dollars must be compounded for
70 years to amount to $40, ,O0O.-Mead'

cautious and conservative journal, not
addicted at all to windy braggadocio
or sensational expression, predicts an
activity in trade in New York city
next year-thc Centenary-such as
has not been witnessed since 1866
1t says: eve are not building castles

We have, from the very first main
tanned the opinion that the Centenary
would be the means of removing the
last vestige of the panic of 1873. We
hold to this belief more firmly than
ever.

durability of his complaint. The Doctor
requires simply brief history of the case
and a candid plain statement of present
symptoms--a thorough examination Will
then be made, and if considered remedi-
able--a sincere, conscientious opinion will
be given promptly and such medicine as
will be applicable will be sent by express,

MIR. THRocKAoRToN proposes to sell the
school lands in twenty years time ana IN
vest the money in United States bonds. If
the lands be sold at all, tile proceeds should
be invested in Texas funds. In fact, if we
could secure honest managers of public
affairs, as before the war, and these lands
must be alienated, they should be 30 used
as to make the several counties accessible
by railways, and the railways first mort
gage coupons should support the schools.
Thus We could have cheap roads, if built
by men like Gen. Bragg, and a rich coun-
try and rich schools. But the school lands
should be leased and never sold.

RARE BOOKS FOR CONSTITUTION
MAKERS.

We published, few days ago, brief no
tees Of few books Invaluable to gentle
men who propose to take part in creating a
new government for Texas. Very true, there
is not word in these volumes about De-
mocracy or Radicslism, and there is not the
remotest reference to either ''organ, u or to
John Ireland, and yet everything that one
should know affecting proper subjects of
legislation is discussed, aud thoroughly, in
these books. One of these volumes is en-
titled Jameson on the Constitutional Con-
vention.n In this the rights, powers and
duties of constitutional conventions are
clearly and sharply defined. In no single
sentence or paragraph, we repeat it, is there
single assertion of the necessity for the in
teryention of partisanship in behalf Of good
government. But the Telegraph and Ire
land know better about this than the phi
losophers and statesmen who have shaped
the destinies Of other republics. In fact,
We never knew what asses were Madison and
Jefferson and Patrick Henry till we read the
Telegraph and heard from Ireland. of course
these and Others like them ''who know it all"
need not peruse the volumes of which we
speak; but other plain people and judges
and lawyers and farmers who propose to
share in the task of framing wise and
simple government for Texas should send
to Thompson & Nagle, of this city, and Sc
cure not only the volume referred to, but
those two volumes by Hough, entitled
American Constitutions" Here we have
each Constitution of each State, With that
of the Federal Union, The best of these
are the latest made, and are the Organic
codes Of Pennsylvania and Illinois. While
securing these volumes, Messrs. Thompson
s Nsgle will also furnish that unique and
admirable pamphlet by David s, Wells,
which tells of Local Taxation, This
brochure has been translated into French
and German, and is as popular among think
ing people in Europe as in America. Can
didates for the constitutional convention
should devote every leisure hour from this
day forth TO the study Of these books.
Write to Thompson s Nagle.

THE Gonzales Enquirer only copies what
the STATESMAN itself has often said, that
''the STATESMAN would, sooner or later,
put John Ireland in the United States Sem
ate" There have been worse men in that
body, and Texas has been more unworthIly
represented there than if John Ireland &C.
cupied Sam Houston's or Rusk's chair. He
is not by any means the equal intellectually
of either of these men, but is above the
average Texan lawyer and politician. The
Enquirer seems to forget that the STATES
MAN doesn't belong to any Of the party
leaders, and when they get into fight for
high places, the STATESMAN will take up
the cudgels for the best and worthiest man
in the field, and it is not impossible that
John Ireland may be the man.

VINO wrote the absurd bill submitting the
question of holding constitutional con-
vention to the people2 Its purpose seems
to have been the final defeat of the conven-
ton, and retention of the present horrible
system of government, Then it has been
sought to make partisan contest of it, and
decency is disgusted. The STATESMAN has
done everything possible to excite interest
in the matter, even cruclfying Ireland for
this purpose, and asserting the necessity
for the nomination of able men, and yet we
are told that many good citizens will vote
" No convention" This is all wrong.

location. We do not give the name of tic
writer, or of him to whom it is addressed.
The latter gentleman was amused and
pleased that the STATESMAN, at this dis
lance, portrayed with perfect accuracy the
course and causes of events in the Mexia
convention. The letter is as follows:

Dear Sir Martin was nominated by q
two-thirds majority. Simpkins and bis
crowd were the worst disappointed fellows
you ever saw. They are badly whipped and
completely played. lam, yours ever, etc.
The convention having slaughtered Simp-
kins and his ring, by way of salve to his
wounded self-esteem and to keep peace in
the family, adopted the nice little resolu-
tons criticising the course of the STATES
MAJ. Ia fact, Simpkins and the Ledger
were served at Mexia precisely as was John
Ireland at Luling. But simpkins and the
Ledger are smashed, while brave John Ire
land still holds his head erect, and nobody
knows, when looking at him, how deeply
he was wounded.
