Major Davenport, who was during
the 14th Legislature, a Senator from
Bell county, has been nominated as
State Senator from the county of
Eastland. The Major is good,
pure, honest man, and a safe and
wise legislator. We hope he may be
elected Williamson County Re
cord.
We copy the above, to add, with
emphasis. the EXAMINERS endorse
ment. Major Davenport, though no
great speechmaker, is eminently
trustworthy and reliable; man of
sound conservative views, and sure,
if elected, to conserve the best inter-
ests of his constituency. Texas will
heed men of this sort, men who are
not for sale, in the next Legislature,
and Davenport is known as one of
that class. In short, we think our
district fortunate in securing for
that position the services of so great
and worthy man.

1t is said to be a fact that the
United States and India are the only
two nations at present whose ex-
ports exceed their imports. In our
case it is an encouraging fact that the
balance Of trade is in our favor, not
because of diminution of trade or
loss of purchasing power, but be-
cause we raise products that the rest
of the world need, and are increas-
ing our ability to manufacture, and
even to export, wares that till lately
we were compelled to import.

In recent letter to Secretary Sherman DR.,
Linderman says: ''The new silver dollar has
one very important advantage over the trade
dollar as well as the old silver dollar, and
that Is that the border Is so arranged as fully
to protect the devices from coming together
when piled one upon another. In this way
only can undue abrasion be prevented, and
that is what have had in view in the prepa-
ration of new devices for nearly two years
past. We shall fully succeed, but In the
mean time must take the raps OF all the wise
and knowing ones in the land"
The Right Honorable Edwin Henry Smith
Stanley, Earl of Derby, who has just retired
from the Dsraeli cabinet, is but 50 years old,
but has figured prominently in the official
life of England, and will doubtless figure
prominently in it hereafter. He held three
important posts in the three administrations
of his distinguished father. and in the last,
that OF 1866, he was Secretary of State for
foreign affairs-the post he has now re.
signed-and conducted the negotiations for
the settlement of the Luxemburg difficulties
in manner that rendered him exceedingly
popular. he held the seals until the in
coming of the Gladstone ministry In 1858.
and the year following the death of his
father transferred him to the House of Peers.

Under democratic rule, before the enormous
war debt, before the school mill tax, before the
necessity OF estab ishng sinking fund, the
tax was mills. as high, as it was in one year,
with all these urdens, under republican ru lei
What do our readers think Of that, and what
has the Standard to say? At the breaking out
of the war the State was comparatively free
from debt Who caused the war, and why was
1t prolonged? Since the close of that ''unpleas-
ant controversy" leading citizens of the South
have freely admitted that they never would
have gone into the struggle had they not re-
ceived announcement and promise of help
from Northern democrats But this war debt
OF the State has been cut down the past ten
years to the amount of between two and three
million dollars How is that for republican
"misrule?' Further comment is unnecessary,
but we have few more figures to present. In
1869 the State assumed between three anj four
millions of the municipal war debts of the
cities and towns of the State. This money
went directly into the treasures of these towns
and cities for the benefit of the people, but it
helped Just so much to increase the public debt.
Would 1t be honorable to repudate il? WonId
the Standard suggest that? 1t would lessen the
taxes. For the benefit of t Q cause of educa-
tion, assuring educational privileges to the
poorest child in the remotest district and ham
let OF the State. the legislature in 1873, estab-
iished what Is known as the school mill fund.
for which the sum of $224 $40 is to be raised
this year. Would the Standard eliminate that,
anu strlke olow at our educational interests?
But IL would lessen the taxes.
We have tried to make this case plain; but
sometimes men will see aud understand only by
comparisons. New York city-the siBk of
