One of our State exchanges says "inde,
pendence in politics is near akin to guerilla
ism in time of war" because owing no allie
glance to any party it operates upon all.
The paper in question admits that the indie
pendent sentiment is growing but thinks
it bodies no good to the established princi-
pies on which the government was founded.
Our contemporary is evidently in error.
There is nothing which has n more purify
ing effect upon parties and party rule
than the Independent element. The voters
who will not be coerced into the support OF
an unworthy ticket have q tendency to
compel the selection Of good men for office.
The Democratic party in Texas has been
understood that candidate labeled DEM
ocrat could be elected to any of
flee to which he aspiredswithout regard
to his fitness or capacity. The blind party
followers say, nominate a iaGkass and | will
vote for it; but the independent voter de-
clares that he will not support any candi-
date who is unworthy to occupy the posi-
tion to which he aspires. The independent
voter does not believe in electing to a posi-
ton ofhonor and trust man who will pros
ttute the office to his personal ends and aims.
He does not believe that man should
be entrusted with office who will not re-
gard his oath by enforcing the law as he
finds il. The independent voter is no
guerilla. He is a man above price or pur-
chase, and he represents high civilization
and enlightenment He Is prominent in
the Republican party, where he has made
himself felt. He is prominent in the Demo-
cratic party, where he will make himself
felt when we next come to select candidates,
and don't you forget it.-[Galveston

WHAT WILL TIE REGENTS po?

To-day is the day of meeting for the re
gents OF the University. They ore called
together to effect an organization. This is q
very general expression. Where buildings
and funds already furnished, all that would
be necessary would be to define the chairs,
elect the professors and set the institution al
work. But there is no building, and it seems
from the opinion of the Comptroller that
there is but $4,000 in sight. Professor
Cooper, II seems was premature in his esti.
mate ofthe financial ability of the regents
on their entrance on their labors, and the
commonly received impressions in this re.
spect appear to be without foundation. II
the interest accruing from the sale of the
university lands be added to the available
fund, perhaps an adequate sum would be
on hand TO Justify a practical beginning Of
the university but if $4,000 is all
that can be commanded we do not see
what the regents can do, beyond arranging
paper rospectus-unless, indeed, they
discard for the present all ideas of building
and decide to lease lecture-rooms, and thus
proceed in medals res. We do not presume
TO advise the regents as to their duty. They
are gentlemen Of large experience and ap-
proved ability. All we would venture to
say is that there are evident signs
of real want in the community
for such an institution, and they will have
to decide whether it would be more polite
to postpone any and all practical action as
being premature and misleading; or, dis
carding all ideas of building and grand
openinS to proceed at once, after the man
ner of the continental and few American
foundations, to organize system of tuition
n private apartments.-[Houston Post.

eminent of the United States History shows
that irredeemable paper money has always been
the greatest oppressor and enemy of the laboring
man. Men in other pursuits of life can speculate
and protect themselves from the evils of depre-
ciated currency. But the daily aborer is the In
evltable victim of this dire evil whenever and
wherever it occurs Irredeenable money is of ne

That is precisely what the Republican
press has maintained ever since the fiat
money craze began, while the Democratic
press has, with few exceptions, advocated
an irredeemable currency
