The south Conservative.
ISeiiator Gordon.l

The south must be the conservative por-
ton of the political family for the next %
years. The people have had a lesson which
makes them 30. Any great poiitical excite
ment In the country will have the effect to
retard our return to prosperity, and we must
avoid that. The south must reach, as near
as possible, the happy mean in politics. We
not only desire quiet In our section, but in
the north also. Our people ask no recogni-
ton on the national ticket in 1880. but will
support in the democratic party either Bay
ard, Thurman or Hendricks.

A TOWN DIyESTRD OF Hts COR
PORATE CL0THRS.

The good Galveston Nesos comes
down to its work in very earnest, ef-
fectIve style when it says that the av-
ersge municipal Gown or city govern
ment is only a d.velopment of cupidity /;
monster with countless ingers
scratching the taxpayers pockets and
gnswing into his substance. The suf-
ferer deserves his anguish because he
sent bad or incapable demagogues
to the constitutional convention and
to the Legislature. The people OF
Texas are bewildered by costly super
tluities of government, and we are
constantly wanting more courts, Fed
ersl and State. In any event the poll
ticisns want them. Since the war the
courts of all sorts are as two to one II
numbers, and the people, instead OF
paying to the State five or ten cents
ON each hundred dollars Of property,
now pay fifty cents, and additional
burdens imposed by corporations and
counties are from one to two and q
half per cent. It is time that the
Nerns- as representative of the people,
had begun to inVeigh against these irr-
tolerable exacti0ns. The town oil
Richmond seeks in vain to strip itself
of worse than useless garments of in
corporation. But the mayor and al
dermen, wearing the comfortable ha-
biliments of office, refuse to be stripped
naked in early springtime, and it only
remains for the people to revolt and
chuck the good receivers of taxes into
the Brazos. The proposition is that
the sheriff and county court shall dis
charge the functions of the mayor and
deputy sherifrs serve as policemen.
The same purpose has been discussed
very freely of late even by the people
of Austin. The true remedy consists
in the restriction of suffrage to tax
payers, and in the institution of local
governments in which taxpayers gov

The STATESMAN has often discussed
the opening of trade with FL Paso and
New Mexico. A train has lately
reached San Antonio from Los Cruces.
The Express says: "The mdyor-dOmo
OF the tram states that he is satisfied
of the superiority of the southern
route to the nearest railroad point of
shipment over the northern through
New Mexico, for on the northern route
the heavy snowfall renders it impossi-
BILE to ind feed for the animals, thus
| efectuallY preventing travel over that
region for more than two or three
| months in the year, while this route
will attract trade eid Ell Paso from
above Piedras Negras and for Q long
distance up the Rio Grande to San
Antonio, with the outlying districts in
Arizona, Northern Chlhu ahua, Nueva
Leon and upper Texas, as important
feeders. This copper shipment will
show the merchants and dealers of
Northern Arizona and all the adjacent
region the advantage in consigning their
ores, woods and wines to San Antonio
merchants, rather than at the termini
of the Denver and Rio Graude and
Atchinson, and Topeka and Sante Fe
Railroad, in Colorado. The superior
grasses that stand as hay in the ground
through out the entire year on the road
from here to FL Paso, as also the con-
venient distances between watering
places for draught animals, is an addi-
ton item in favor of the southern route
from the Rio Grande country. DIssen
sions between the railroad magnates in
Colorado have prevented the Northern
railroads from pushing their lines to
the Rio Grande. Let us take advantage
of this fact, and by advertising the
present superiority of this southern
wagon route to Northern markets Uid
San Antonio to the RIO Grande people. "

HONEST Dick THOMPSON Is properly
so called. He does not understand
the arts of demagogism, aud we great
ly fear will fail, for this reason, as
Cabinet officer. The navy yards at
the great cities have been used by local
politicians. as repositories for votes in
controlling local and State and con-
gressIonal elections. When a contest
begins between a. Democrat and Re-
publican in the vicinsge. of navy
yard the party IN power begins to fill
it with all sorts of purchassable voters,
whose presence is paid for by the
United States Treasury. We have
seen mayors of Southern towns doub.
ling the street force and quadrupling
policemen and bringing into the city's
employment negroes and tramps by the
score just before an election. Voters
are thus hired by the peoples money to
give them rulers they would not have,
and thus the blessings of universal suf-
frage IN corporate elections are illus
trated and multiplied. This same pro-
cess has been commonly resorted to in
the navy yards, and Dick Thompson
doesn't like it. His instincts of
native honesty revolt against it,
and therefore he would make the
navy yards less delightful retreats

worthy Secretary of the Navy, who
never staggers on shore, has thus ex-
cited the ire of the dirty politicians and
of loafers and tramps and of venal
voters in all the navy yards by requlr-
ing them, for honest pay, to do an

country approves the Secretary's con-
duct and the Congress is silent.

have courts till it makes the peoples

TIE advance on real estate in many
portions of the United States is caused
not so much by the enactment of the
silver bill and any resulting abundance
of money, but because the enactment
shows that the people are again the
country's masters and that the course
of financial events will now be speedi-
ly reversed. Real estate advances and
prospects brighten everywhere, and it
is because of anticipated rather than
accomplished Legislation.
