would probably do well to follow their
example. Nicaragua wheat Is said 10 be q
sure crop and to yield we'll improved ma
chinery Is being introduced In most Of the
mills and the difficulty In grinding 1t, be-
cause Of the hardness Of the grain, H. thus
obviated. The wheat crop is harvested and
marketed at q season OF the year when
Texas railroads have comparatively little
freight business. Raising wheat and small
grain for shipment in this section OF the
state wouldube new industry and, in order
to encourage it we have no doubt the Santa
Fe railway would willingly give special
rates on wheat and oats to Galveston and
Houston, provided enough was offered to
make it any object. BRENNAN Banner.
TWO wRETcHEs.
Mulder Hickman (plain) and Isaac Thorn
as (colored), charged with obstructinS the
International railway track, were yesterday
and to-day bound over, the former in $500
and the latter in $500 bond for their ap.
pearance at the January term of the district
court, in default of which they were con-
signed to jail. 1t seems that they had been
nut off the cars, and for revenge put cross
ties and ratings on the track for the pur-
pose of ditching train, which was due,
but behind time, at the moment the deviltry
was done. Some little boys passing informed
the section hands of the condition OF affairs
and the track was cleared in time to avoid
any catastrophe-[ Franklin Phoenix.
TRYING HIM IN ADVANCE.
There is in Guiteau's confession, so
called, an evident architectural design to
support his contemplated defense of moral
insanity, and no doubt that confession was
conceived long before his murderous work.
He killed the president because he failed to
get the Paris consulship, with malice afore-
thought, but his egotisM led him to believe
L L. In
Quences by pretending a political and re-
ligious fanitacism that had unsettled his
mind His villainy is ill-concealed, ana his
confession will deceive no well-ordered in
tellect. The only result his stupendous
selfconceit could contemplate as dangerous
to himself was the anger of the populace.
He felt secure in court OF law, where he
supposed gentleman of his accomplish
ments would find protection, as usual, from
disgraceful death upon the gallows. He,
no doubt, had Buford, of Kentucky, in his
mind, and argued that if a gentleman might
safely kill supreme judge he could as
safely kill president. The line must be
drawn somewhere, and it is best to draw it
on Guiteau.-[ Austin Statesman.
A BIT OF GOOD NEWS.
John Kelly has again decided that he and
his followers will act as democrats only
when permitted to control the party in
fuses to recognize anybody's "halls" as
constituting party within the party, to
be conciliated and treated with as indepen-
dent bodies. The New York democracy
further notifies John Kelly that if he
chooses TO conspire for the party's defeat,
because$f refusal to recognize the existence
of more than one democratic party organi-
cation in the state, he must do so as a
bolter, whose objects and methods shall
stand revealed to the world by his actions.
In all which the New York democracy has
done that which the party everywhere will
approve. Standing on high. ground, the
party in New York can afford defeat, but it

many boss, who is ever ready to use his

WHAT'S UP?
For day or two the air has been full ct
runners that may portend some important
changes along the line of the railroad pref
ty soon 1t is whispered about Baird, so We
are informed by reliable parties just from
there, that some changes will soon be made
at that place in regard to division headquar-
templated, is one of those things, as Lord
Dundreary says, "that no fellow can find
out" A isachinist who has been i'll charge
of the railroad company's shops at Sher-
man, has arrived in our town and has been
looking around for lot on which to build
a residence, as though expecting to locate
here permanently. He says he was order
ed here by the company and instructed to
await further orders at this place. What
these things may mean, time alone will de-
termine; but with the inexhaustible supply
of water in the new tanks here, and the
place for the purpose, some very shrewd
guesses are being made, among which Is

Secretary Window is reported as intend
ing to do something or other, las soon as
he can ascertain the amount of money in

that which prevents an instant knowledge

LET HIM SUCCEED HIMSELF.
Governor Roberts is a candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Senator
Richard Coke. In our opinion the best
thing Texas could do for herself in the
premises is to make Coke his own successor.
His popularity, superior ability ana exper-
ence as a national legislator give him more
influence in congress, and will enable him
TO accomplish more for the welfare OF our
state than any other man that could be
selected. We are decidedly in favor of Sem
ator Coke for another term.-tWaxahachie

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
1t may be little previous to enter into a
discussion of the merits and maneuvers, If |
that be fair word, of gentlemen for the |
senatorial position, but circumstances, |
created by politicians themselves, warrant |
such course. II seems to us that Mr.. |
Coke would profit by the mode Of his cleo:
ton TO the senate in the first instance, and |
keep down all unnecessary discussion, as
far as in him lay. The governor disclaims
being in any sense a politician, which may |
in a certain sense be eminently the truth;
but he certainly displays remarkable talent |
for the profession, some of his efforts, I'M
studied though they are, being Of very /
superior order, wanting nothing 10 make /
them perfect. II cannot be that the gov
ernor is only playing this part in the strng-
gle to prevent others from taking leading
positions Besides not being a politician,
he is not given TO revenges, and it therefore
stands TO reason that he is DESTROYS of
changing his mode Of serving the people.
Here then, we have for certain two bona
