INDIAN logic is q little too much for the
phlegmatic German. Secretary SCHURz de-
mands of OURAY that he shall deliver up
the murderers of MEEKER. OURAY replies
That is very funny thing to ask Of me.
How can / give them up? Why do you
hold my tribe responsible for what those
linen did? We IRE Uncompaghres; they
"are White River Utes, and not under my
immediate control If murder were
committed here in Washington, would
"y your authorities make the whole popula-
ton suffer for it?' Thereupon the Secre-
tary of the Interior put on his thinking-c cap,
and has been very much absorbed in re-
Election since. He has made no reply rs yet.
THE trucking sycophancy of certain
class of political eunuchs here in Wishing
ton and the District would be simply
amazing were it not for the acknowledged
fact that our non-representative form OF
government serves to breed elieminacy and
pusillanimity where sturdy manhood and
Independent citizenship should and would
naturally flourish. In no city in the
country should there be, in the natural
course of events, more perfect illustration
of the highest type of free citizenship than
here at the Nations Capital; but unlor-
tunately our municipal system is such us to
crush out the very germs OF true indepen-
dence and foster the growth of courtier-like
funkeyism. This fact is fairly illustrated
| by the course of the Eceninq Star rs regards
the question of suffrage aud Home Rule
Descending step by step, and perhaps inn
perceptibly to itself or its managers, that
journal has now abandoned what little
claim it ever had upon our people as an
organ of intelligent and patriotic opinions
and has asserted with shameless effrontery
its willingness that the District shall con
tinue to play the voiceless and unremon
strative part of puppet, while Ton, DICE
and HARRY responsible for their acts Il
no one but themselves, pull the strings.

For FlOater.

In this issue appears the an
noucement of Mr.. Harry Haynes
of Independence, as a candr
date for representative. from
Washington and Burleson coun-
ties. Mr.. Haynes received the
unanimous endorsement of the
Washington county democratic
convention. 1tseems that there
will be no district convention
called, and as by the agreement
of the last district conven-
ton this county is entitled
TO name the representative.
Mr.. Haynes was born and
raised in this county and is well
known to all our older citizens,
as well as many of the citizens
of Burleson county. He is a
good speaker and is a gentle
man Of education and ability,
one who is thoroughly acquain-
ted with the wants of the peo-
pie; he is also gentleman Of
enlarged and conservative views
and if elected will represent the
two counties in a proper man
ner.- He goes before the peo-
pie untrammelled by a party
nomination and in a condition
to represent the entire people.
The democrat, the republican,
and the greenbacker are all
equally interested in having an
intelligent, influential member
of the legislature, and Mr..
Haynes being such man, they
can conscientiously vote for him.
Politically he belongs to the
democratic party. In this con-
nection attention is called to
the card of Col. R. R. Lawther
chairman of the county demo
cratic executive committee.

Mr.. J. F. Winkelmann is also
announced for reelection as
commissioner from commission
ers precinct No. 5, composed of
Justices precincts numbers three

also been commissioner for the
past two years, and made a
painstaking and efficient officer,
SO much so indeed, that with
out any word or solicitation on
his part he was endorsed by the
democratic convention that re-
Gently met in this city. He has
also since been solicited to
make the race by personal
friends; he goes beforet he peo-
pie on his record and asks their
votes independent of any polit-
ical considerations, the Office of
county commissioner being
non-political. He promises to
do his duty in the future-if
elected-the same as he has
done in the past. 1t is to be
hoped that every man in this

appreciates an honest painstak-
ing official will Cast his vote for
Mr.. Winkelmann, who occupies
the true position-the Office is

pearance here. Mr.. Orrin Hol-
lis has a good piece OF bareback
riding, and the eight clowns
that serve to enliven the act
are not bad in their attempts to
be funny. The magnificent
horse "Salamander" jumps
through a series Of burning
hoops to tire wonderment of

yoke of oxen was introduced
by Mr.. {. White, and their en-
hibition was very interesting,
as they execute many Of the
tricks taught the trained stall

original tricks. Signor Sebas-
tian, who is an old favorite here
was warmly received, and his
bareback act was as thrilling as
when first given here years ago.

ing stag "Landseer," came next
and then Nine. Dockrill execu-
ted her thrilling six. horse act.
The grand batout leaping by
the corps of gymnasts, and end
ing with Mr.. John Bachelors
double somersault over seven
elephants, proved very exciting
but most interesting was CEN
tered in the performance of
Zazel, who has a great reputa-
ton as an aerial 'diyeist." This
portion of the entertainment
was under the immediate di-
rection of the inventor Prof.
Farini, and, to assure the au-
dience that no possible harm
could result from fall by the
fair artist she allowed herself to
be precipitated into the life-net
without injury. The dive from
a bar at the uppermost height
of the tent was very thrilling,
as was also her precipitation
from the mouth of prodigious
cannon. This closed the pro-
grammt which is the best, most
attractive and in all respects

CAsMos.-This gentleman is
continually doing something to
get his name in the papers, yet
he is said to dislike newspaper
notoriety. Monday he was up
before the district court and
succeeding in getting a jury to
give him two years in the peni-
Tertiary. His name got into
all the papers within reach of
the wires; not satisfied with this
he on Monday night made his
will, giving all his property to
Col. A., Winslow, his lawyer,
and procuring file and some
broken glass he made a futile
effort to suicide by gashing both
his arms, expecting to bleed to
death; he didn't do it, but he
again gets his namein the paper
To a disinterested chronicler of
passing events it looks as if
CASINOS was seeking newspaper
celebrity.

The Cotton Crop.


The cotton crop is now about
all open in the fields and no
more will be made. Labor is
very scarce, but good farmers
estimate that with fair wealth
er during the current month
the force now at hand will be
able to gather the crop by the
Ist of November. A heavy
wind or rain storm would dam
age the crop very materially by
blowing or beating the cotton
out of the bolls, consequently
farmers are very anxious to
have it gathered and are paying
exhorbitont prices, from IS
cents to 81 per hundred and
board. While all planters re-
gard this price as entirely too
much, they regard the cotton
savedas so much made, because
if left in the field it would be a
total loss. Last years crop in
this vicinity was estimated at
one-third of the average crop;
this season it is now estimated
that about twice as much as last
year or two-thirds of a full crop
viii be made. Such are the es-
Inmates of practical planters in
different parts ofthe county.
