There was n pretty hubbub in society
when it became known that the earl of
Beauvray-or George de Vray a. he now
simply called himseli--was going to aban-
don his title and estates 10 man who had
been city clerk. Lord Bcauvray him
self did his utmost to make the thing pub
lie; for as the legal formalities for rein
stating his cousin into his rights would re-
quire some time. he was anxious that the
new peer should obtain at least social
recognition of his rank as soon as posi-
bile. For this purpose he placed the
amazed and elated Mr.. Timburel in pos
session of his mansion in Piccadllv, and
i large sum in ready money ito go on
with Mr.. Timburel was decidedly Il
snob; Lord Beauvray could not like him,
much as he forced himself to be friendly,
and he was soon forced to reflect with Il
sigh that the house of DE Nray would be
poorly represented by its new chief But
this did not check his diligence in doing
his duty and he quite dismayed his solci-
tors, who were advising him to defend the
action for ejectment that was going to be
instituted, and to dispute the claim for the
title that would be laid before the house
of lords. $685.
Il wish to have no disputes" said
George de Vray. Even if legal flaw
were discovered, l should not avail my
self of it SO long as a moral certainty ex-
listed. And that does exist The law
yers grumbled, but they were fain to own
that the marriage certificate was genuine,
and that nothing but clIicanery could spoil
the suit OF Mr.. Timburel, who now de-
scribed himself as Ralph de Nray, claim
ant to the eardom of Beauvray."
OF course, George de Ways marriage
was postponed. The turn in his fortunes
had thrown so much business on his hands
that il was impossible for him to devote
month TO honeymooning until it was all
disposed of; besides which, he felt bound
10 make Mr.. Moyle the offer of releasing
his daughter from her engagement. Al
first this proposal was pooh-poohed equal
ly by the bill-discornter and Miss Movie
herself. Mile. who was not so sensible
~ she was pretty, wept Il good deal ut not
becoming countess then she wept at the
nobility of Georges action which every.
body was praising. In fact, during week
she bedewed good many pocket-hand
kerchiefs with her weepings over one
Thing and another. But, in the main. she
was disposed to remain faithful to George
and took some credit To herself for hen
forritude.

The Two-Thirds Rule.

The Austin GaSehe has uni
formly advocated the observ-
ance of the two thirds rule in
county, district and state con-
ventions, and even in national
conventions. The history and
result OF the late Texas state
convention has convinced it
that the two-thirds rule should
be abrogated. Long before the
assemblage of the memorable
convention that nominated Gov.
Roberts, the BANNER as well as
a number of other papers ia
vored the abolition of the two
thirds rule. Had this advice
been needed the state would
have been spared the admins
tration of the present very I'M
popular governor. The two
thirds rule in this case nominal
ted the clark horse" a man
wholly unknown in connection
with the Office, and one whom
nobody iii reality wanted. Ii
has been successfully demon
strated that in many instances
the adherence to the two-thirds
rule has thwarted the will of the
majority and the choice of the
people. One of the cardinal
principals of the democratic
party is, that the majority shall
rule, it being conceded that the
majority represents the will of
the people. In the late state
convention the will of the peo-
pie was signally defeated-the
result is now painfully apparent
to the democratic party in this
state. That the two-thirds rule
should be abolished appears so
plain as hardly to need demon
stration or urging at the hands
of the press of the state. All
that is necessary to be done is
for the people in electing dele
gates to future conventions is
to have it understood that the
majority shall rule.

THE San Antonio Express of
July 10th says large meeting
of Saloon-keepers was held last
evening to take steps to resist
the Sunday law. After some
discussion it was decided that
the move was premature, and
the meeting was adjourned with
the simple decision to continue
business as usual.
An Etp,ess reporter called on
representative Wurzbach, who
was of the impression that the
law did not go into effect until
September first. Senator
Houston holds that the amend
ment affects the penal code and
went into force on the 24th.
Here we have the spectacle of
two law makers disagreeing, as
to the time a law made by a
body of which they were men,
beers, goes into effect.
From the tone of the press of
the state it is very evident that
public opinion is opposed to
this puritanical law and in the
principal towns of the state it is
likely that it will be more hon.
cred by its breach and than by
its observance. In the smaller
places the rapacity or thirst for
T.. trimmings" on the part of pet
ty officials may induce them to
employ ;nformers and prosecute
violators for the money there is
in it.

construction of the road all thar the pro-
pie in The Washington neighborhood can

ally We may have the road. Yours.
W. II VI son.
The above fully explains it
self. Gen. Sayles informs The
BANNER that Mr.. F. A. Rice
president of the c. and NJ. rail-
way offers to have prelimina-
ry survey made provided $500
is raised to defray the expenses,
after which he will make a prop
osition for the extension of the
road to this city. Mr.. Fayette
Smith, public spirited citizen
of Washington offers to assume
one-half of the amount requir-
ed for the preliminary survey.
BRENNAN is now called upon for
the remaining $3.50 required to
secure it. We are informed
that a prominent merchant and
large real estate owner, who is
thoroughly convinced that the
extension Of the c. and Nj. will
be of more practical benefit to
BRENNAN than the Santa Fe
and Central roads combined,
will head the subscription list
with $50.
There certainly should be no
difficulty IN raising the $50
necessary to make an irtelligi-
BILE start towards this much
needed enterprise. The BAN
NER suggests that a public meet
ing be held at the courthouse
at an early date and a commit
tee be appointed to raise the
money. 1t further suggests
that Messrs. Sayles, Giddings
and others make the call.
At the railroad meeting and
barbecue mention in yesterdays
BANNER speeches were made by
Henderson, Of Bryan, Fowler,
of Washington, and w. H. Vim
son of Graball. The people
are in earnest and determined
to build the road to Washing
ton.

SOME of the conductors of the
New York Third avenue rail-
road company, have for some
time been defrauding the COM
Pany by tampering with the in
dicators, which are supposed to
register the fares received.
They inserted a small piece OF
wire in the top of the machine,
and thus kept the indicating
hand from moving around the
dial, although the bell rang as
usual. AS soon as the directors
suspected anything was wrong
they began investigating, and
about thirty-three conductors
found implicated in the scheme
were discharged, no other action
being taken in the matter.

INDEPENDENT PAPERS.

and bNRhe an Independent
iournal We believe strongly in
a Journal being independent and
are of the opinion that news
paper can be independent and
still belong to the democratic
party. Simply because jour
nal is democratic is no reason
that it should literally become
an organ. and grind,'out praises
of lis party and every ofieholder
elected by the democrats. The
democracy is human and being
human is liable to err, has err
ed in the past and will err in
the future. In this respect it
does not differ from other pollt-
ical parties, though party pride
compels us to say that the err
rors of the democracy are not
like those of its opponents. A
party is the legitimate subject
of criticism and it mnst stand
or fall by its merits or dement's.
The democratic party has stood
the test of time and has not
been found wanting. An indie
pendent journal will discuss the
actions of the public servants
of the people, applauding the
good acts and condemning the
bad ones; by SO doing it helps
to strengthen and maintain its
party, get bad men out of office
and put good ones in their
places. On the other hand the
non-independent or strictly
party organ expects to be kept
alive by obtaining its sustenance
from the public crib-county or
state-and blindly endorsing
every act Of the party and its
individual members. Such an
organ degenerates into a ma
chine and being wholly I'M
worthy of public confidence ex-
erts no influence whatever.
The day of strict party organs
is past and intelligent indepen-
dent journalism has taken their
place. People nowadays take
newspapers to get the news and
political news forms no unim-
portant part.

gers claim that they had a war
rant for the arrest of Banks and
it is said they have been in the
habit of taking out and whip
ping suspected parties and this
may account for Banks refusal
to admit them when they went

ted from taking Banks out of
