UNsCRUPULOUs CHARGES.

The papers opposed to the re-elec-
ton of Governor Roberts have per-
sistently misrepresented him. They
can plead ignorance or they will
have to admit that they have know
ingly and willingly slandered the
chief magistrate of the state. Edi-
tors, who know better, charge Gov
ernOr Roberts with hostility to inn
migration, They insinuate that the
surplus money in the state treasury
ought to have been appropriated to
encourage immigration, and, that
the failure to make the appropria-
ton is Justly attributable to the pol
icy of Governor Roberts. If the
men who indite such charges have
ever read the constitution OF Texas,
they know that section Sc of its gen
eral provisions provides that:
'That the legislature shall have no
power to appropriate any of the
public money for the establishment
and maintenance of a bureau of i'm
migration, or for any purpose of
bringing immigrants to this state"
The people of Texas ratified the
constitution by majority vote, and
Governor Roberts is sworn to OBJ
serve and obey that constitution.
The declaration that Governor Rob-
erts said to Gen. Gano: II would
not give dollar family for immi-
grants" has been proven false; yet
editors of journals, claiming to be
decent and reputable, repeat the
falsehood, and lash themselves into
Indignant rage in contemplating an
exploded SANDER. The manager of
. newspaper, who lends himself to
such despicable practices, cannot
claim to be in the conscientious dis
charge of duty, unless it be the aim
to attain ends which cannot be
reached by truth and fair dealing.
and that he has steeled his conscience
against right.

AN application for patent on a
new telephone has been filed at
Washington which makes quite a
stir in the inventive and financial
world. The new telephone is an in
vention of n poor mechanic named
Daniel DrOwbaugh. of Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. Owing to his power
ty he was unable to push his patent
on the market, and a rich company
has secured this invention, ante-dat-
ing those now in use. They are also
owners of four patents for tele-
phones issued to Mr.. Klemm of New
York. The company has bought up
all the telephone patents ante-dating
those now in use, and known as the
Bell, Gray and Edison patents. The
company is composed of leading
business men from all sections of the
country, Cincinnati being largely
represented and interested. Its cash
capital is $5,OOOOO0, with headquar-
tiers in New York, and in about six
ty days it will open up the telephone,
which win certainly result in the
driving out of all telephones in the
market, save the ones it holds, or
else the compelling of the Gray,
Bell and Edison lines to pay the new
company a munificent royalty.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The center of population i'll the
United States i'll 1870 was in Cler-
mont county, Chic. The Cincinnati
Commercial says that it is certain
that under the census of 1880 the
center has been shifted to the north
and west, and that it is now in the
state of Indiana, near the line be-
tween Richmond. and Indianapolis.
1t is bewildering to read of the
naval preparations made by China
and Russia for their coming war. If
the war does take place, there may
be a great naval engagement, in
which the Digit and Abrek, and the
Garnasti, and Morj, and Sobal, and
the Naezdwik, and Razboninik, and
the Nalim, and Nirok, will meet the
Alpha, Ceta, Gamma, Delta, and
other Greek letter gunboats of the
Ceiestials, who have gone to the out
side world for names for their YES
sells.
= Texas Jack got his nickname
by feat in cattle speculation, Dur
ing the war Texas was shut off from
the other Southern States, and con-
sequently there was no supply of
beef from that source. Jack, who
was then known by his real name,
John Omohundro, invested all his
money in drove of cattle, organ
lied a strong guard of herders, and
fought his way to Tennessee, where
the people eagerly bought his beef
and set him for a hero. AT an en-
thusiastic public meeting he was in
troduced as Texas Jack, and the
title adhered to him.

TEXAS POLITICS.

Ellis county, like Travis, says il
must be Roberts, and Dewitt, in the
west, says o. X.
The Navarro county Democrats
indorse the Old Alcalde for govern
or and r. Q. Mills for Congress.
The Victoria county convention
refused to instruct for Roberts. and
the majority of the delegates to Dal-
las are opposed to him. 1t is the
work of E. d. Linn.
The Star ViRdicdtOr is satisfied
that 0. NJ. Roberts for Governor and
L. j. Storey for Lieut.. Governor
would be'a ticket that Blanco county
would endorse almost unanimously
The Star Vindicater says: Say
ers is vainly stumping the state, or
at least a portion of the state. That
interview of his with the NeoUS re-
porter killed him off with all OF
Governor Roberts friends, and Gov
ernOr Roberts friends just at this
particular time, compose a very
large majority of the people of Tex
as.
The Galveston delegation to
Dallas stands ten for Roberts,
one for Savers and one for
Gustave Cook first choice and
Roberts second. The opposition to
a resolution endorsing Governor
Roberts and Shepard came from the
friends of the latter, who were afraid
of meeting opposition from Savers
adherents in consequence. And yet
this does not alter the fact that these
friends of Shepard, as Shepard is
himself, are strong friends of the
o. A.
The Sherman Courier, with all
Difference to wishes of his friends,
does not want Giddings for COVER
nor. 1t says: "Giddings is too high
priced a man to be governor. He
was sent to congress once, and not
satisfied with his salary as fixed at
the time he took his seat, he voted
for and took "back salary grab"
Then he charged entirely too much
for just stepping over to Europe and
bringing the few thousands of in
demnity money due Texas, that was
there in the vault waiting for the
state to send after it. He could
have afforded to make the trip on
one-fourth the amount he charged
and made money. Then he is a
banker, and we prefer not having
his biased Judgment controlling pub
lie money" ...

THoMAsT L. CRITTENDEN, the DEM
ocratic nominee for governor of Mis-
souri,, is a native of Shelby county,
Kentucky. He is a son of Henry
Crittenden, and brother of Col.
VIII Crittenden, whose tragic fate in
Cuba twenty-eight years ago excited
much sympathy. He was Union
soldier in the late war, and became
congressman in 1872. For u sec
ond nomination he was defeated by
Col. John t. Philips. In 1876 he was
again sent to Congress. The Repu6-
c0a says of him:
Col. Crittenden possesses all the
high personal integrity, patriotism
and aptitude for public business that
distinguish the name he bears, and
a cordial affability of manner that
in no small degree explains the pop
ularity and strength he exhibited in
the recent contest for the guberna-
torial nomination He is in the prime
of his physical and mental powers ;
he is universally respected for his
public virtues and the blamelessness
of his private life; and when elected
win make an executive whom the
state win have reason to be proud of.

THE platform of the Young De-
mocracy must be kept before the
people. 1t consists not in the an
nunciation of any distinctive, tangi-
bic principles, but in an uncomprom-
ising opposition to the policy of
Governor Roberts administration
as based upon the Democratic plat
form, which is, the prompt payment
of the public debt, the stoppage of
interest, the establishment of an eff
cient system of public free schools,
to be maintained and supported al
most entirely by interest derived
from the investment of the perma-
nent school fund; running the state
government within the limits of the
yearly state income, the decrease of
taxation, the payment of state war;
rants, when presented, in cash, and
the perpetual abolition of the specu-
lations in state warrants, by which
the holders were robbed at an aver
age of ten cents on the dollar.
The advocacy of these measures
brought upon Governor Roberts
the enmity, the disgust, and, if
appearances indicate anything, the
irreplacable hatred of the specula-
tors. those who have grown rich
upon popular distress. They have
resorted to all sorts of malicious
SANDERS to render the present ad-
ministration odiOus and unpopular.
The young Democracy is conglom-
Grafton of epiculatOrs, Radicals,
Greenbackers and sore-headed Dem
ocrats. This strange political COM
pound was made up during last sum-
mer while the legislature was in SEES
sion. 1t is one of those mongrel
products emanating from political
harlotry. Its watchword was and is
anything to beat Roberts" The
success of this organization would
mean an increase of the public debt,
the sale of more bonds, the sale of
more homesteads to enforce pay
ment of taxes, the hawking of
treasury warrants, and the conse-
quent robbery of the people. In the
face of these facts, the disciples of
this party of no principles proclaim
themselves the apostles of progress.

OK the fourth of July, 1776, the
population OF. the revolted colonies
amounted to less than three millions.
In l779 there were but seventy-five
postofiices, and the mails were car
ried ON horseback over.l900 miles of
road, at an expense of $4,000 per
annum. According to Gen. Walkers
estimate the population of the
United States is now about $4,000
900. We have $1,000 postofices, and
carry the mails over 265,O00 miles of
road, at an annual expense of So
100000. We have little less than a
quarter of million lines of tele-
graph, IA, 629 school houses, 6S,OS2
churches, ss9 daily papers, and over
5000 periodicals OF various kinds.
Our farm products have brought in
one year S2,447, 5sS,65s. Our ex-
ports have reached nearly $4750O0.-
900 in one year. We have eco cloth

turned out enough TO encircle the
earth twenty times, with enough
over 70 furnish every human being 1

Six children met their death bv

In Hunt county, Monday last. Per-
cy Wynne and Tom Phillips, armed
with shot guns and dogs, started out
i'll quest of large wolf reported to
have been seen in the neighborhood.
On arriving at the locality in which
the animal was last seen, the dogs
very readily scented the trail and
started off at a rapid pace. The wolf
was dumped" and the race for full
half hour was q lively and exciting
one. The young men, however, final
ly managed to get in advance of the
fleeing animal, and took stand for
it. As it was in the act of passing,
two reports almost simultaneously
rang out upon the air and the wolf
fell dead in its tracks. The young
men reached the corpse about the
same time and each claimed that he
had fired the fatal shot. So assured
were they in their different asser-
lions and so determined to maintain
their opinions, that a quarrel ensued
as to who should convey the animal
back to town. Angry and bitter
words passed between them, when,
upon an invitation of Wynne, they
determined to "shoot the matter off"
Twenty steps were measured off and
the combatants took their positions.
AT word from Phillips both fired.
Wynne fell.

GKNERAL ARrHuR, Chester a. i.

GENERAL ARTHUR, Chester A. is
meant, thinks there is nothing so
beautiful as the Federal election
laws. Certainly it was nothing
more than these laws that gave him
prominence, and he therefore ought
to endorse them. Hayes was made
president under these laws now in
force, and Hayes, when he went in
to Office, became satisfied that Ar
thur was not doing the square thing
in the New York custom house, and
he bounced him, and Conkling then
bounced Hayes, and out of all this
bouncing Arthur became the tub
that was thrown at Chicago to the
Republican whale Conkling, that
this .Leviathan might be appeased.
But he is not, and in November
English win give Arthur his lnsi
efiectual bouncing, and that win be
the end Of the little man.

A DISPATCH from Galena says it is
positively stated there that Gen.
Grant viii return to Galena
before the first of August, set
tie up his affairs and go TO New
York, where a position is open for
his acceptance. The same dispatch
says that Grant has declined the
presidency of the proposed Ameri-
can branch of DeLesseps' Canal
Company at salary of $4,000 a
year, As the American branch of
DE Lessons Canal Company is a
very nebulous affair, the report that
Grant Jumped at the offer is doubt
less true. 1t is thought that Flood,
whose daughter win marry Grants
son, viii set him up in the mining
business in New York, and the Gen.
eral has gone to Colorado to see that
there is no slip in this important
matter.

THE New York World says that
Flanagan of Texas is about the only
man in the United States who is
thoroughly satisfied with Garfield's
letter of acceptance. But this is our
own "Web," who frankly told it on
the floor of the Chicago convention
that all the Texas Republicans
want is office. "Web" was good
Democrat not many years ago, and
should Garfield be defeated he will
most probably return to his old love.
He despises an unsuccessful national
party.

In is estimated that under the
new apportionment to go into effect
two years hence, Texas will have at
least eleven members of congress
provided congress does not increase
the basis of representation, and since
in some of the states this would
even legislate incumbents out, it is
hardly possible to carry such a meas
ure. Politicians want all the show,
possible, for places in congress, and
all congressman are politicians.
