y
terday Mr.. J. E. Standley, late of
Steubenville, Ohio, who is here on a
visit. Mr. Standley brings pleasant
recollections of our friends Simmons
& Staiger, Leavenworth, Kansas, in
the shape of some of their fragrant
Sultanas, which without hesitation
we claim to be the best cigar made in
the country. Mr.. Standley is pleased
with Los Angeles and will make this
his permanent home. Here is what
the Steubenville Herald says of him
Our young friend Jos. Il. Standley left
this morning for Southern California,
where he expects to remain few
years. His numerous friends will re-
gret his absence from the "Old Relia-
b!e," where in The last five years he
has acquired reputation that any
business community can be proud OF.
Mr.. Twomey desires US to say that
the article in the Republican ofyester-
day concerning the. arrest of Aguilar
was incorrect, inasmuch as it stated
that he said the prisoner was dis
charged without hearing. He stated
that he was discharged after a hearing,
and was misunderstood. On Thurs
day night, or rather Friday morning,
he assisted officer Hill, who was trying
to get drunken man home in hack,
and was prevented by this Aguilar,
and he has no doubt ,but in revenge
Aguilar ran against him Friday night
with the intention of provoking him
to make some demonstration that
should justify him in using a weapon
to remove Twomey from his path, he,
Twomey, being very much in his way
at night.

CoRsIcANA, like Austin and all the towns
OF July with great enthusiasm. 1t is need
less to say that the prospect of better govern
ment, evolved in nominations for the presi-
dencY aud especially in the probability of
taxation that may be borne, had much to do
in causing these gatherings and rejoicings
OF the people. The assurance of speedy re-
fnrna h-:sl-4~s.s sl.~ fuTuIe anu makes peo-
pie forgetful of evils by which governments
become agencies through which communi-
ties are robbed and the people forced
to toll, not for themselves, but for place
holders that have absorbed for years past
all profits Of popular industry. Slowly but
surely it has been discovered that indirect
systems OF taxation, by which the farmers
shoes, hat and coat and sugar and coffee
are quadrupled In cost, constitute the cost
Hest possible mode of sustaining the Fed
eral system. Reform is now the watch
word. Morton and his committee, recently
in Mississippi, would substitute the negro
and his woes and even make the desperate
ism Of Western Texas leading issues in the
contest; but the truth escapes through the
interstices of the "bloody shirt" and people
everywhere learn at last that widespread
poverty, begotten Of wretched govern
ments, drives people to desperation and
generates lawlessness. Bad governments,
making industry and property valueless,
first beget idleness and, to live, men must
either have Office or other peoples purses,
There are not enough offices to supply the
endless demand, and none are pensioned in
the South, and all expenditures of Federal
ism are monopohzed by the ''trooly loil,
and there is no recourse, save the highway,
for impoverished multitudes. 1t is an w y
state Of affairs and the prospect of reform
is enough TO make the people of Texas cele
brate with bonfires and illuminatious the
sure possibility of reform.

recommended the passage of House bill
No. 237, entitled san act imposing an ad-

For the proper understanding of the sub

DUBIOUS PAcTs.

The Palestine AdCocate makes Galveston
exciaim, when appealing to the Legislature
for land grant, 81 help us, east-us, or we
sinkp II the Legislature had read Elisee
RecIus's book, "The Earth" the appro-
priation would be pronounced needless.
The great French savan tells that while the
eastern side OF this continent is not rising
uniformly out of the sea, il was ascertained
by Sir Charles Lyell that Georgia and
South Carolina, of Atlantic States, alone
are sinking, and therefore Sullivan
and Morris islands, at the entrance
to Charleston roads, are constantly con-
tracted in area by the eneroachments of the
sea. In like manner the coast from Cape
Cod to Cape Hatteras is slowly subsding.
This depression is progressive, as carefully
calculated from patient observations,
twenty-three and oDe-half inches each
century. On the contrary, the coast
Of California and that Of Texas are steadily
rising. 1.-THE shore-belt," the French phi
losopher says, 'sof Tamaulpas and Texas
increases SO rapidly in width, not only be-
cause Of the south wind-which blows al.
most through the whole year and throws
up great quantity OF sand-but also be-
cause the ground itself is rising. From
1915 to 1868 the shores of Mata-
gorda Bay have risen eleven to
twenty-five inches. Because of this
gradual increase of land proven by heaps of
shells left far from shore-Mr. Crane, of the
Senate ought to know all about them-it
was found necessary to transfer the port Of
Indianola to Powderhorn, four and one
fourth miles nearer the entry. In like man
ner the shores OF Florida are steadily rising.
With these progressive factG, as asserted by
photographers, we need only celebrate an
other Centennial to find Galveston lifted at
least seven feet out of the sea. Until we
had delved INTO many mysteries of the
FrenchmaR's wonderful book, full of
curious and useful information, we had
and Commodore Morgan that was ''lifting
Galveston out of its boots;" on the con-
trary, nature Is making compensation
for 'hard blows" of luck and of cyclones
by lifting up the fiat island in the midst OF
the deep, and at the same time and by the
same process choking the ditch in which
her commercial fortunes were proposed to
be entombed. Galveston newspapers,
when they would crush and confound their
enemies at Houston and snap their fingers
in the face of the Legii lature, should quote
Reclus and the proceedings of the French
Academy of Sciences that the world may
know that the Houston ditch and Calves
ton island must become ut the same time,
by the same forces of nature, high and
