wilIing to do the city printing at 2o:. q
square. Let Us add that either the Times
or the PicdyuRe would take the State
printing at 25 or so cents per square, and
would have done so on the very day when
1t was awarded to the Democrat at ~
cents. Let us further recall, what every
body knows, that it was q Democratic
reform Legislature W hich passed the law and
Committee of severe Democratic reformers
who signed the contract.
Now 1t cannot be said that the Democrat
was chosen by reason OF its superior ad-
vantages rs an advertising medium. That
paper is the beet advertising medium which
has the best circulation and We suppose
that no o9e doubts the advantage, under
thst test, to have been with either the
Times or PieayuHe as compared with the
Democrat. The fact is there is no good
reason Why the paper which bids lowest
for such work should not have it, provided
that it be decent paper and have good
circulation. IF the dominant party wants
to sustain q party organ it ought not to do
go with public moneys. To do 60 is rob
bery-nothing else.
But that is not all in the way of ex-
travagance, Our State juss before the war
vas rich-rich in plantations of immense
value, rich in slaves now it is impover-
isbed and partially ruined. Then its an
nual expenses for government were scarce J.
II more than half of the present figure.
A certain portion of this increase is indeed
provided for in the Constitution and,
therefore, "a not under legislative control,
but q great part of it has no such sanction
aud ought to have been rigidly retrenched.
The pruning knife was not applied the
nerve was not there; the bona .fde, genu-
inc, honest determination to retrench was
waiting.
What is the moral of all this That
Democracy is an imposture Not at all.
We must judge Democracy by its gospel,
not by its apostolAte; by its frui. when
under cultivation, not when in wild,
unrecIained state. Human nature as q gen.
eral thing, is not very honest on principle /;
it needs watching and optside pressure /; it
must not be too much tempted nor have too
much opportunity. Competition is the
life of trade, while monopoly begets inso-
lsrce and tyranny. Democracy has vir-
tually q monopoly of power in this State /;
it has no respectable opposition, no COM
petition, no fear of exposure, no responsi-
bility to q people who can better them
selves. If the people say to them you are
robbers, they can answer trothfully: if
you do not like Us, accept negro rule and
then you will have not only robbery but
coniscstion.
1t is bad state of things. The sooner
there is another decent white party started,
the better. Then both will be obliged to
offer good men for Office, and both will be
obliged not only to make fine promise G
| bat to keep them.

The Boston Pilot has just paid, out of it's
earnings, . second dividend Of ten per cent to
the creditors of Mr.. Donohue's bank. 1t will
be remembered that when Mr.. Douohue failed,
he surrendered all his property, including the
Pilot, to his creditors. The paper was bought
from the creditors by Arch bishop Williams and
Mr.. John Boyle O'Reilly, then and for come
time before, its Editor. Though the property
was absolutely and Internationally theirs and
they were 10 no way responsible for any Of Mr..
O'Donohue's 70 liabilities, they determinedsto pay,
out of the earnings of the paper, the $4,000
due by the bank TO the large number of de-
positors. They have now paid so per cent of
the amount, and should its paper be as sue
ceesfol, financially, in the future as it has
proved in the past, they will no doubt be able
to pay up the balance in the course of the next
three or four years.

tractiveness Of Shakesperisn plays, saying II
will venture q wager that if you compare the
receipts at Shakesperian performances to day
with those of twenty years ago, you will fnd
tn. difference in favor of 1877. Il is true that

that people love novelty. Nor do believe in

The Oldest Texan.

Mr. Robert Kidd, of San Filipe,
who is spending few days in Houston
as the guest Of Mr.. Schultz, is now in
his one hundred and fourth year have
ing passed his one hundred and third
birthday last month, and was born in
Amherst, Virginia, in 1913. He passed
many years of his life at Salem, North
Carolina, where his father died, also at
the age of one hundred and four, and
whence, in 1868, the son removed to
Texas, where he has been ever since
most of the time at San Filipe, wher
he has daughter living
In his prime he was Of powerful mus
cular strength, but never weighed over
one hundred and tiftyNfour. He has
always, from his twentieth year, been a
great user of tobacco but spectacles he
never wears. Five years ago, and when
in his ninety-ninth year, with his own
hands and unassisted, he made two
hundred bushels Of corn, and one bale
Of cotton, He lived in Georgia in the
early part of the century, and was pres
ent at Augusta on one occasion when
cotton sold at thirty cents per pound.
He is much stopped, but still looks
hearty and ruddy in the face, and as it
he might reasonably anticipate another
year or two of existence. Unless some
other county than Austin can do better,
Mr., Kidd may be written down as the
oldest Texan.

Texas cattle in New Orleans.

The Picayune in recent issue, men-
tons the shipment of large numbers of
Texas cattle from Shreveport to New
Orleans, by steamers, on Red and the
Mississippi rivers. 1t says;
Hitherto shipments have been made
via Texas ports and Morgan's railroad,
the business by which will no doubt be
continued with increased spirit in the
face ofthe competition of the new route.
The Red river people, on the other
hand, will hardly be deferred by oppo-
sition from any quarter as long as there
is sufficient water in the river and the
boatmen are willing as we presume they
are, to promote the trade by putting
down their freights to the lowest point
possible. If the railroad kings OF the
north are willing to carry western pro-
duce at ruinous rates-hardIy paying
for wear and tear-ior the purpose of
commanding trade surely the Red
river boating interest should show
similar if not equal enterprise. -.
When our real estate owners shall
have opened their eyes and literally
united with our commercial friends in
building the railway to Marshall, we
may reasonably expect very large sup,
plies of both live stock and packed
meats, and stock yards, which will
hardly fear comparison with those OF the
western cities. In the grand future OF
New Orleans this live stock and beei
trade promises to be a leading branch
OF her commerce.

A Dawdling President ana II Verdant
cabinet.

New York Tribune The president
is unfortunate in a certain slowness,
which gives sometimes to his course
the appearance Of hesitation or dawd>
linz. He has been more unfortunate
in what must be frankly described as
the verdancy of his cabinet. They
wanted to do the right thing, but in
their nenness to political methods they
simply did not know how They have
thus been betrayed by their rawness
into occasional positive blunders, but
their main mishaps have been of the
negative kind Sorely needing help,
they have exasperatingly missed opport
tunities for securing it. But neither
positive blunder, nor the loss of favor
able opportunity has blinded the coun-
try to the fact that the president is
honestly heading in the right direction,
and that he means to be surrounded by
capable men, striving to the same end.
