District Judgeship.

The San Antonio ExpreSs
says one of the most important
duties that will devolve upon
the people of its judicial dis
trict this fall vii be the election
of a district judge. The adj
ministration of justice is some
thing all good citizens are alike
interested in, and that the pre-
siding officer of the district
court should be a man of char
acter and ability, a good judge
\of law and enjoying the conf
dence and respect of the peo-
pie, is essential in the highest
degree. The office has no po-
litical complexion whatever
and the task Of filling it should
be removed as much as possible
from the ordinary work of polit-
cal campaigns. The Express sug-
gests that the members of the
bar throughout the district be
allowed and requested to nomi-
nate a candidate for the district
judgeship, and that the people
elect whoever a majority Of
them shall name. No consci-
entious lawyer would desire to
preside over court unless he
enjoyed the confidence of the
attorneys practicing therein and
the course proposed would
guarantee that confidence to
the one selected. rt.
The plan suggested seems to
be a feasible one, and one
which would divest the district
jrdgeships of all partnership
whatever. By far the larger
portion of the members of the
bar are democrats, andno good
democrat would be guilty of
selecting bad or an incompe-
tent man to fill so responsible
an Office as that of district judge.
If the selection Of a district
judge is left to political con-
vention, differences may arise
which would make it necessary
to nominate some man on ac-
count of his party services, or as
a compromise between several
aspirants and thus man unfit
ted for the position might get
the office. Texas has already
had some experience with polit-
ical judges which is not at all
favorable. Let the Judiciary be
as far separated from politics as
possible. In a court a mans
political opinions cut no figure,
justice alone is the province of
the courts.

The cotton Planters associa-
ton a society composed OF pIanS
tiers in the states Of Arkansas.
Tennessee, Alabama. Mississip-
pi and Louisiana held a meet
ing at Vicksburg last week.
Among other things the ques-
ton of futures" came up and
was discussed. The New Or
leans Democrat says:
"The planters had evidently
given the subject good deal
of thought and had arrived at
the eminently just conclusion
that extensive future specula-
tons at the ports to which they
shipped their crops for sale
were exceedingly injurious to
the legitimate transactions to
which they were parties.
At the same meeting the prac-
tice of selling cotton seed was
discussed. This practice has
attained alarming proportions
during the past few years, and,
in the opinion of every obser--
want planter, is simply suicidal.
Cotton seed is the most power
full and reliable fertilizer for.
cotton lands. A resolution was
imploring planters to
refrain from the injurious prac-
tice of selling cotton seed.

THx Williamson county SIN

one advantage, while the pris-

are prevented from doing any
crime. For petty thefts and the

Grant Announced.

The Galena Ga5etfe published
at the home. of Grant, and
speaking by authority says that
Grants name has never been
before the public as candidate
for the presidency by any word
or act of his own, and he most
certainly will not order his name
to be withdrawn. A large
class of American people have
chosen to make him their cam
didatc, and if the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago,
see fit to tender him the NOM
nation he will not decline it.
This we know to be a fact, and
we publish it because it is well
that the republicans of the
country should cease to hold
the matter in doubt.
The Galveston Nefrs Of the
2sth figures on Grants chances
for receiving the nomination
any says that all doubts vanish
cd with the action of the
Springfield, Illinois, convention.
Illinois declaring for Grant
renders his nomination, almost
an accomplished fact. The as
sertion of his home paper or
rather the official announce
ment that he would accept the
nomination is wholly gratuitous.
There is nothing in the world
from a five-cent cigar to bull
dog or the republican nomina-
ton for the presidency that
Grant would not accept. He
has a well established reputa-
ton as the great American re-
ceiver. His candidacy was a
foregone conclusion with his
party managers Immediately af-
ter the adjournment of the Gin
cinnati convention that nominal
ted Hayes and not a moment
has been lost by them, day or
night, in working to accomplish
that end. The triumphant tour
around the world, and the bril-
liant cut and dried receptions,
after he returned to "the land
of the brave and the home Of
the free" was part and parcel
of the well arranged and ad-
mirably carried out programme.
For shrewdness and cosmmate
ability in wire working, the lead
ers of the Grant movement can
not by any possibility be ex-
celled.
Taking it for granted that
Grant will be nominated it now
behooves the democratic party
to act with the greatest care in
selecting as d standard bearer
the strongest and best man in
the party-one who can and
will harmonic all discordent
elements.

delegates VIII be allowed to vote
