TRADUCED TEXAS.

the new lOFA 1lerlla.
A late dispatch from some of the local
authorities of Seymour, the county seat
of Baylor county, Texas, to the COVER
nor of the state, is of the kind that on
previous occasions helped to give Texas
that unsavory reputation that belongs
rightfully to only a portion-in popula-
ton a very small portion-of the state
Texas is larger, geographically, than
New England and the Middle states COM
bined; il is larger than either France,
Austria, Germany or any other European
nation but Russia. Nine-tenths of the
population and wealth is in the south
ern-central portion of the state, where
rich lands and navigable rivers combine
successfully to tempt enterprise and
money. To the west and north of this
portion lie large sections of country as
wild and a people as ungovernable as
any between the Mississippi and the
Pacific. In the northern portion of the
state, Just south of the Indian
territory, lies the new county of Baylor,
containing four or five settlements and a
few hundred people. Some of the latter
are intelligent, enterprising men, such
as give new settlements whatever prom
lsing character they possess, but the
county Is also the occasion al rendezvous
of that peculiar order of outcasts that is
the curse of every border town. Some of
these gentleman have invaded the coun-
ty in force sufficiently great overawe the
authorities and terrify all respectable
residents; but to assume from this that
Texas as a whole is dangerous state, is
as unfair as to charge New York with a
reign of terror because gang of thieves
may do as they please in some isolated
house in the suburbs. The sparely set
tied borders, of any state, even New
York, are at the mercy of any band of
rufi1ans that may congregate there A
little attention to map or Texas will
relieve the people of that state of much
unmerited abuse.

4 MISTAKE.

The Blaine delegation from Kansas
propose To beat the repr sentatives elect
cd by the second and third district by
going into the Chicago convention as
Grant men, provided the complexion of
the convention be for Grant. This is the
programme AS it leaked out from one of
the delegates before he had left Topeka.
Kansas City Journal.
There were no representatives elected
by the second district. Fourteen dele
gates out of over eighty from the second
district met after the state convention
adjourned and appointed an advisory
committee, but no delegates to Chicago
were elected. None can he without Il
regular convention should be called. So
far as we have conversed with the Grant
men from the second district, they pro
pose TO abide by the action of the state
convention. They are not of the boiling
kind.-Lawrence journal.
The bolt in this, the third district, was
made by Il minority and will not amount
TO anything. Blaine had majority of
at least eight in the district, the persist.
ent and ungrourded statements of the
editor of the Commonwealth and others
TO the contrary Notwithstanding. On
the vote on temporary organization, the
best test, this district cast So votes for
Redden and 90 for Edmonds, and there
was not vote taken during the pro
ceedings in which the Blaine party in this
district did not cast more votes than the
Grant party. So we are of opinion that
the action of minority in afterwards
electing two delegates will not amount TO
much.

sneaking and cowardIy mode of at
lacking people under a false name, not

the backbone to sign his name to his

verbiage, and because we had con-
cluded to, peaceably if we could,
use our Judgment as to what he should

Mr.. j. w. Bartlett, secretary of the
Blaine club in Washington, has made a
calculation of the voting on the first bal
lot at Chicago which gives Blaine 1853
votes, or only 90 less than enough to
nominate. He says the club las cheer
ing advices from the south, and that
Blaine will show strength there which
will surprise his opponents. In New
England he will make gains which will
give him at least 60 votes against 80 in
1876. In the northwest he will have
IOWA, Michigan and Indiana solid, and
a large share of the Illinois delegation.
From Pennsylvania and New York the
club has advices that Blaine will have a
good foothold in both delegations when
the voting begins.

was reduced during the same time from

operatives from 124,772 TO 10S,S sos The
decline in the linen business is attribut-

In the educational column of an ex-

on answering questions, but will try this
one. Your example will educate him =,
your conversation with friends; the bus
mess he sees you contract; the likings
and dislikings he hears you express
these will educate him. The society you
live in will educate him; your domestic
circle will educate him; above all, your
rank, your situation in life, your home,
your table will educate him. 1t is not
in your power to withdraw from him the
continual influence of these things, ex-
cept you were to withdraw yourself from

instant of time; you can neither stop it
nor turn its course. What these have a
tendency to make your child, that he

How TO OBTAIN SLEEP-The follow

lessness: Wet half a towel, apply it to
the back of the neck, pressing it upward
toward the base of the brain, and fasten
the dry half of the towel over so as to
prevent the too rapid exhalation. The
effect is prompt and charming, cooling
the brain and inducing calmer, sweeter
sleep than any narcotic. Warm water
may be used, though most persons pre-
fer cold. To those who suffer from over
excitement of the brain, whether the re-
suit of brain work or pressing anxiety,

DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE.

Judge Growing preached a powerful
temperance sermon the other day. In re-
Spouse to the plea of prisoner that he
was drunk when he INDUCED in the d.
version of little stabbing, the Judge
said that this was not an excuse for the
offence, but an aggravation of it, and in
future he should add to the penalty when
the crime was committed under the in
fuence of liqnor. Good law and real
justice are combined in this judicial die
tum-which cannot be said of all delIy-
FRANCES upon the bench. The law has
steadily refused TO regard drunkenness
as any extenuation of a crime, and the
natural instinct of justice teaches US that
the man who deliberately renders him.
self irresponsible must take the conse-
quences of his acts.-N. Y. Tribune.

II is absurd to say that Springer would
have to be bribed to withhold himself
from stealing. The overmastering ten
dency of the average Democratic tates-

has brought the whole party under sus-

of Springer. For the last four years he
has allowed himself To be controlled by
no influence save Tilden's whisper, and
he is as loyal to-day To that influence as
ever he was. All of his friends know
this, and hence Donnelly's transparent
device to destroy his reputation will have
no efTect'-N. v Tribune.
