A PALE0SAURUS.

Hon. George Washington
Jones, congressman from the
fifth congressional district of
Texas, has shown himself in
his true light. He made a
speech at Galveston on last
Saturday night; his hearers get
ting tired of his financial views
began leaving the house in a
stream. Jones remarked to
some gentlemen on the plat
form: so far as Galveston was
concerned, her commercial peo-
pie are sordid selfish and narrow
mindde, at whose hands the
cause he representative cause
of humanity-need expect no
aid or sympathy" State sena-
tor Street, who was present said
Jones was paleosaurus, a geo
logical term srgnifying. a very
ancient fossil; and in addition
he characterized him as a most
accomplished denagogue. If
the name, paleosaurus, does not
squelch Jones there is little use
in trying to put him down.

THE Waco Examiner and the
Fort Worth Dfmoe,atare quar-
reling about Hon. John Han
cock; and, the Banners publ
cation of his remarks to a friend
at the depot, while passing
through Brennan, seems to have
brought him before the public
again. 1t is very likely that
Mr.. Hancock did not express
his opinion for public alton, but
be that as it may the express
ed opinions of a man of his
prominence carry with them
some weight; especially when
the man is known as a thor
ougll politician. Ostensibly
Mr. Hancock is out of politics
and has the undisputed right to
entertain and express any opin-
ion he may see fit. The public
can draw its own differences as
to his purposes.

The Southern states are re.
ceiving their full share of the
prosperity that prevails over
the land. 1t is stated by ar
Augusta (Ga.) paper that the
cotton sold last week in that
city brought $780, 900 more than
the same amount would have
sold for a year ago, and it is es-
tlmated that the October sales
have brought to planters So
100000 more than those oflast
year-not because a greater
quantity of cotton has been
sold, but because the prices are
better. The same grade of cot
ton that last year sold for only
8 cents now brings 10 to 10 I-2
making a difference in favor
of the planter of $40 a bale, and
of S4o,ooo,ooo to s5o,ooo,ooo to
the whole South on the present
years crop. An unusually
cheerful spirit prevails through
out the Southern states on ac-
count of this advance in price
of cotton. The crop is very
large and fine, and its move
ment to market in the next sew
en- months will involve a large
and profitable business.-Sf.

Hon. JoHN d. STEPHENS,
Judge Fleming and Frank E.
Wilson, of Comanche have been
to Austin, Dallas. Houston and
Galveston hunting for a rail-
road. The Chief interviewed
one of the party and learned
that the Central had plenty of
money and would run their
road according to the lay of the
land. The G., c. and S. F. in
tend to push their road, and
hoped to take Comanche in.
The Texas and Pacific will run
their line on the lower route,
which will be greatly to the ad-
vantage of Comanche. The in
ference is that Comanche will
have to bide her time for a rail-
railroad, although her public
spirited citizens are ready to
give material aid.

Gov. Roberts, on the 18th
inst, issued a proclamation in
which it is stated that in many
of the larger cities powerful
and influential combinations
have been formed and entered
into to prevent the execution of
the revenue laws and defraud
the state of her legitimate tax
es. All good citizens are call
ed upon to render aid and as
sistance to the officers charged
with the enforcement of the rev.
enue and other laws. While no
special reference is made to
any specific law, Il e bell punch
law is the one to which refer
ence is made. While it is right
and Just that all the laws should
be observed experience has
time and again proven that ex-
tremely unpopular and unjust
laws cannot be enforced, es-
pecially is this the case where a
large majority ofthe people are
either opposed to them on prin-
ciple or have no personal inter-
est in the enforcement. In
many of the states laws are
in force and stand upon the
statutes for years after they
have gone into dlsuse and been
forgotten unless resurrected for
some special purpose. The
theory that a bad law should be
strictly enforced to secure its
repeal sounds very well, but
theory and practice are two
very different things and may
be likened to preaching and
practice. Laws that are emil
nently just and practicable are
cheerfully complied with and
not the least difficulty is found
their enforcement. The BAN
NER is in favor of enforcing the
laws, but what is said above
has been demonstrated by ex-
perience; it remains with the
executive to enforce the laws
and with the people to obey
them. The future alone will
solve the question of the bell
punch and the Sunday law.

The Brennan BANNER, too,
comes out squarely for honest
money, younger men and more
progressive theories as a basis
for complete reorganization of
the democratic party. The Tek
eg,am warmly welcomes this
potent engine of power to the
ranks of the new and better de-
mocracy which is TO supersede
the waning old fogy men and
ideas which have ridden it near
ly to the verge of destruction.
1t is a matter of no little pride
to US that the Telegram was the
first paper in Texas to speak
out the imperative demand, and
it is still a matter of more pride
that the demand is being com
piled with, with every indication
ola radical change in men and
local policies when the next
convention sits. Honest mon
ey, the honest discharge of the
public debt, the largest tolera-
ton, a rigid execution of the
laws, and simple, unostentati-
Gus and economical administra-
ton of government. These are
the theories for the new demo-
crazy, and when they are foun-
ded upon the fundamental prin-
clples promulgated by Jefferson
they will become invincible, not
only in Texaa, but throughout
the nation.-Honst0H telegram

The statistics of the General

The statistics of the General
Land Office. for the year ending
June 80, show how rapidly the
West is getting under cultiva-
ton. 1t seems that during the
year 9.3S3,353 acres ofthe pub
lie lands were disposed of. The
disposals were mainly as fol-
lows: Homestead entries, s.
26o,I1I acres; timber culture
entries, 2,766,575 acres; cash
entries, 622, 574 acres, including
I65 900 acres entered under the
Desert Land law; grants to rail-
roads, 27S,334 acres; swamp
lands patented to States, 1888
acres; other grants to States
1885, 1872 acres, There was
falling off ofabout $4,000 acres
in cash sales, State selections,
scrip locations and lands patent
ed for railroan grants, but the
increase in the area taken up dy
settlers under the Homestead
and Timber Culture laws was
sufficient to make the aggregate
disposais for the year greater
by 047,2o4 acres than the total
for the previous year. The in
crease in homestead entries was
S4I,765 acres, and in timber
culture entries S06,I2o acres.

Bur one democrat, young
Seymour, was elected on the
state ticket in New York. Clark
son N. Potter, whose aggregate
majority in New York city and
Brooklyn was o., 900, has been
counted out by 100 votes
This is certainly very close
race in an aggregate vote of
100000, 1t is limited that the
returning board system of coun-
ting has:5een resorted to, and
if this is the case an investiga-
ton will certainly be had. The
past history of the republicans
shows that they have no con.
sclentious scruples about count
ing any one out who does not
suit them.
