A lower-country exchange brings
the report that Hon. Jas. X. Kelly
will not be a candidate for Supreme
Judge at the next election, for the
reason the salary paid is not large
enough. We had heard it reported
that it was not the salary business,
but something about Patrick's dis
patches in the last presidential
squabble, that changed Chief Justice
Kelly's mind. Perhaps somebody who
despises newspapers and wishes to
rob them of an imrortant item of
news has warned Judge Kelly OF the
future. We don't know anything in
the premises.

Will the next President of the

There is possibility if not prnba-
biiity of such a thing. In case of the
election being thrown into the House
of Representatives, Congressman De
La Matyr will have the casting vote
with the Indiana delegation, without
which there can be no election. Sup
posing De La Matyr should be OBJ

NEW LIFE.

Newspapers now argue that the
death of Brigham Young has given
new lease of life to Mormonism in
Utah. There is truth in the argument.
Statistics of passengers from Europe
show so plain that there is such re-
markable increase in immigration of
Mormon converts to the United States
that there remains no doubt as to the
rapid growth of the religion and in the
number Of its adherents. Even the
authorities at Washington have at
last become alarmed. AT last is the
proper word. Though there have
been Wing, Democratic and Republic
can administrations Mormonism has
been allowed to defy the law and con-
tinue polygamy. Pixies armed march
upon Salt Lake was farce The VIC
Tins of the Mountain Meadow massacre
were never avenged outside the death
OF Lee (; there are to-day in Salt Lake,
roaming free the streets of the city of
the Saints more than one of the
participators in that bloody massacre
of innocent people. In defiance of the
laws of the land it exists to-day-Mor-
monlsm fragrant and Mormonism de-
fiant, laughing at the government and
those who direct its powers. And IL
the present administration does any,
thing more than those who have pre-
ceded it-more than wiring letters beg
ing foreign powers to keep away from
America those of Mormon belief-then
the people will have just grounds to gl1-
rify over a pleasant surprise. But the
/ people must not hasten in the prepa
rations for a torchlight procession 1t
may be that as in the time of Pierce,
/ Buchanan, Lincoln and Grant. Hayes
will content himself with a flow of
words, an expression of regret for the
existence of the moral sore, and finally
give fresh protection for Brigham
Young, Jr, aud those who vote him
prophet.

WHILE condemning some things IN
the letter of "E. V. S." the Tribune
correspondent, we applaud his account
of the unu.tcrably hateful town Of
Hearne. lie gives true picture of it
as follows:
At Hearne the International cross
es the Central Road. To tell the plain
truth about lIcarne, it is detestable
place. The business streets are full
Of hog wallow and rubbish, and lined
by wrclched wooden shanties, and
there Is but a single house on which
the eye rests with the slightest pleas
ure. \ ragged. stuuted forest closes
in on all sides. so that one cannot turn
to the landscape ioT relief from the
ueliuess Of the nearer surrounding Of
mean iit;lc buildings. dirty streets aud
railroad workshops. The town lives
on the railroad and on the trade Of the
negroes who inhabit the big plauta-
lions on the Brazos bottoms a feW
miles away.

The EutCrnsa fiona l.

We copy the following from iottef
of "E. V. S. the correspondent OF the
New York Tribune, from whom we
copied literally in our last issue:
WACO, Texas,-My route from Aus
tin was by the international and. Great
Northern Railroad to Hearne, and
thence by the Texas Central and
what is called the the Waco Tap "a
branch road is expressively termed a
tap in Toxas) to this place. The l..
and G.. N. is the product of the con-
solidation of two roads-the Interna-
tional, which traverscs the State d.
agonally from Longview on the Texas
Pacific near Marshal to Austin, and
the Great Northern, which reaches
out long arm from Palestine down to
Houston. The original plan of the In
tcrnational was to run clear across to
the Rio Grandc and connect at Laredo
with line to the City of Mexico, thus
iustifying its name and opening COM
muncation with the heart of the sis
ter Republic; but the hard times
came and stopped the enterprise before
it was achieved, There is talk ofpush-
ing the road on to San Antonio this
year, o distance from Austin of about
eighty miles; but it will be long
time before it will be built to the Rio
Grande. Sooner or later, however, it
will be completed, and it will then be
what its enterprising projectors were
ambitious to make it-a line Of great
commercial and military importance.
The road was built with capital furn.
ished principally by three prominent
citizens of New York, William Wal
ter Phelps, Marshal o. Roberts and
William Il, Dodge. If they have re-
ceived no return for the heavy sums
they invested in it. they have the sat
isfaetion of knowing that they have
done a work of incalculablc value to
ward the Development Of Texas. Tn.
fortunately for the prosperity of the
road, it travcrses region that consists
for the most part of pine barrens and
scrub oak forests, where tic soil i:
too thin to pay for clearing ard cult
waiting. Lumber is almost the only
local freight the country affords, bu
the opening of the pineries by the rail
road has been of great benefit TO al

TnE only substantial advantages OF
Central Texas are cheap lands anu
mild Winters. Out, door work goeS, on
all Winter, the weather, except when
the northers blow, being delightful
|, is easy to make n living here on inc
soil il Il man has enough money 10 pe'
n fair start, but It is no easier to make
money than in the. North, There
would seem to be much more time Tor
farm work in year than there IS IN
Northern climates, but the bright,
clear Winter days, when outdoor eX,
ercise is pleasure, arc compensated
for by the long hot Summer days, one
succeeding another, month alter
month, without intcrmission;, 1T Is no
hotter than during hot spells in the
North-in fact it Is not so hot-but the
long continued heat is encrvatlns and
very facilitating. Nobody works IN
Summer il he can avoid it. The far
mcr looses about as much time during
the Summer months rs he gains. IN
Winter In fact, the Summers time
of general idleness in town and coun'
try, and everybody who is rich enough
goes North.
Thus writes az. V. ST." Of the New
York Tribune. What he says tends
to convince us that, though further
South, it is not really SO hot here as
in ccatral and Northern Texas-a TACT
which our greater elevation and prox
unity and exposure to the Gulf breeze
are quite sufficient to explain. Peo'
pie here at least do not quit working
during the Summer.
Another very great advantage which
we of San Marcos have in the way OF
mitigating the Summer heats lies in
our admirable bathing facilities. Our
river being pure spring water, can be
used for bathing with beneficial ct,
fects the year round, whereas in near
" all other States, even at the North,
bathing. after July, has to be suspend
ed as inducing sickness. This is re-
ally matter of the highest import
ancc, especially during our long Sum
mers, OF which daily bath in the San
Marcos will be found most admir-
able and healthful corrective.

The great question which really con-
fronts the people of Texas to-day is
whether the state is or is not to have
public schools. On the one side is the
progressive wing Of the democracy
These stand upon the emphatic decla-
ration of the constitution, on all the
state platforms of the party which
have been adopted for the last ten
years, and on sacred pledges repeated
on every stump in the state,
The other side clings to past which
belongs to condition of affairs that
can never return, 1t tramples under
foot the acts Of its own constitution
violates the pledges of its platforms
and of its public men, and throws its
self directly across the path OF lmml-
grafton, of progress and prosperity.
The question which will soon con-
front every voter in Texas is, which side
will you take?
For our part We believe with Dr.
Sears that private schools cannot edu-
cate the masses and that Texas should
not be the only state in the Union to
bring up its children as young barba
rians.-[ Dallas Com.

Col. UPsoN seems to have made the
cimbals of fame claug almost before he
hal had time to shake of the solem-
nifty Of his oath of Office as a congress
man. His three linc speech in the
cloak room, regarding the needs OF
democracy, has already gone the rounds
of the press as a remarkable utterauce.
Referring to 1t, the Philadelphia Times
says: The man the democrats in con-
cress have been looking for has come
at last, lie comes fresh from the
people ana employs very plain English
to emphasize his convictions. His
name is Upson, just elected to fill a
vacancy in Texas, and his first public
u;tcraucc on getting TO Washington
was that the democracy needed
brains much more than backbone, aud
chat the appropriation must be passed
no matter what tomtoolery the presi-
dent or the republicans may display.
