What q Blind Pool Is.

From the New York Herald.
A man we'll experienced in Wall street ways
seasoned by misfortunes and ripened by many
successes, said, laughingly, yesterday, refer
ring to Gov Cornels deal in American Dis
trct Telegraph stock: "Blind pool! Why,
that was no sort Of blind pool. That was
nothing but net to catch gudgeons. Do you
know what blind pool is?"
The reporter minated rather broadly that
he thought his education in that line was be-
"Weil, I'll tell you what a blind pool is, -
said the veteran, Il was coming from the
bank one day, when you were boy, and |
met Henry Keep. He took off his hat and
showed me bunch Of papers in it, and began
turning them over with his finger to show me
what they were. They were checks for va
rous amounts, from $4,000 to $4,000,
signed by some of the best houses in the
| street."
"What is that" said l.
81 don't know" said Keep. "Some of the
boys have made up POOL for something.
| Want to 60 in?"
"But what is it for" said l. "What are
! they going to do?"
4 don't know said Keep. want to 90
in? IN see you in an hour or two. Think
abo It it,
And he went of. l thought about it, and
finally concluded would chip in little, and
when he came around gave him check for
$4,000. didn't hear anything more about
it for three months, and | did not ask any
questions. Then one day he came in and
brought me check for $1,000.
What's this for? said |.
"I don't know said Keep Tt's to your
order, amt it? I guess you'll get your
Money
THAT was all he would say, About week
or so later he came in with another check for
$1,000. Now see here said l. can't you
tell me anything at all about this? What was
done, anyway
4 don't know, said Keep, 'but I guess
you'll get the money; the check is all right
"Ard this is all ever knew about it. ex.
cept that he brought me another check for
5000. That was blind pool"

IRELAND FAILURE ON THE STUMP

The Joint discussion between Jones and
Ireland at Houston, as reported in the Post,
completely demonstrates that Ireland is fall
ure when it comes to square discussion OF
state issues or national politics; aperiect baby
in the hands of COL Jones. He has been put
forward as statesman and a great man, and
he throws himself back upon abusing Gov.
Davis administration and making the broad
est and widest statements about stealing and
robbery, and the only case he mentions to sus-
tain his assertions is that of 'police-
man Davidson" who he says stole $40, 900.
The state never lost dollar through David
son, and the amount he swindled private par
ties out of was not over $4,000. Governor
Davis offered $1,000 reward for Davidson
the only thief his administration was re-
,ponsible for, and sent Captain Nc
Nally to Canada to capture him.
But since Gov. Davis time eight years
have iotervened-ten years of democratic
misrule, unparalleled extravaganza and dis
honesty. When Davis left the government
the public debt was less than million and a
half of dollars, a debt made in a great effort
to restore civil government under a constitu-
ton requiring large expenditure Of money,
and in the face of the bitterest opposition Of
Irelend and his sort. Since that time our
state has grown in population and wealth, and
yet our public debt has grown to millions,
and John Ireland strikes back over ten years
| at the Davis administration in order to shield
himself behind political prejudices he vainly
hopes to rouse anew. 1t is too late Judge
Ireland, the people are posted on the history
of the past, and they know the duty Of the
present hour. You lack that great quality
that should above all others attach to the man
who is to sit at the head of the great state Of
Texas-farness. twill avail little to the people
of Texas that you assert that Davis admins.
tration stole the peoples money. You gave
away millions of the peoples land to satisfy a
single corporation and despoiled the people in
a single act of more money than was ever
stolen from the people Of Texas or will be
stolen from them for the next fifty years by
official thieves. We mean your International
compromise bill.

EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

THERE is a fair chance for four out OF the
eleven congressman from this state being
elected in opposition to bourbonism.
VIZ HOPE our good little republican friend,
the San Antonio EVENING LIGHT, will explain
to its many readers that the brass band which
met G. w. Jones Esq, a, the depot at Bren,
cam, were paid for their services. And OF
course they will toot for anybody when paid
for it.-[Caldwell Register.
Our readers are not interested in the brass
band at Brennan, but we suppose that all
brass bands are alike, they blow for pay. Just
like the brazen tooters who are blowing John
Ireland's horn for him.
JUDGE HANCOCK reached London Thurs
day, and found the news of his nomination
awaiting him. The Epson men have their

We guess you are mistaken-its those long

WONDER what speculation Gen. Grant has
his eye on IN procuring for himself from the
stalwarts the Office of commissioner to nego-
tate a commercial treaty with Mexico? Il
may be thought uncharitable to look upon this
act Of his with suspicion, but his past career,
10 which he abundantly distinguished himself
as the great agent and abettor of genera
crookedness warrants it, Victoria Advo-
cate.
Friend Linn, Gen. Grant is above the harm
that such little filings inAict, but you, as ar
honorable, truthful gentleman, as l know you
to be, must suffer from the production of such
things; they take largely from the dignity Ct
your character, they detract from your stand
ing as a man and an American. Grant is 8
truly great man, man who will grow in the
love and respect of the American people, as
our history ripens 10 its truth and justice. HI
was offered place at the head of the Mexi
can commission as the man Of all Others who
could command the confidence Of the Mexi
can republic, and the fact that he declines tt
serve is regarded as misfortune to the com
mercial interests of both countries. Try anc
lift yourself out Of that old bourbon rut
brother Linn, that still clings to hate and per
sonal abuse of every champion of the union a:
a cardinal article Of faith.

JUDGE IRELAND'S SUGGESTION.

Judge Ireland, when he flung his denomi-
national school idea, like seed upon a stubble
field, knew that some of it would take ROOF
and bear a harvest for him. He did not
attempt to do away with the effect Of his sug
gestiol., he only attempted to explain himself
behind the custom which has prevailed in the
democratic administration of the school fund.-;
he placed Gov. Roberts and his party between
himself and the indignant non UNCONVENTIONAL
school men, but allowed all the seed to grow
that fell upon denominational soil. All over
the state we find democratic newspapers tab
ing up and advocating Judge Ireland's idea.
From the Waxahachie Enterprise, we clip the
following item:
We received this week communication
signed Reader" upon the subject of denomi-
national schools. The authors name being
withheld, of course we do not publish his
letter. H ,wever we will answer READERS
interrogatory. If Ireland's views are correct
upon the school question, he, (Reader) asks
what are you going to do with the Catho-
hcs?" We reply, Just the same as we do with
the PrOteStantS ana lnndelS, Jews anu GentlleS
-legislate neither for nor against any class,
creed, order or denomination. We are no,
living in New York or Massachusetts,. All
are not forced to attend the same school. Our
law makers gave US the community system,
which leaves it with parents to say on what
community list they will enroll the names Of
their children. Those children who attend
the Masonic school at Alvarado have never
failed to receive their pro rata of the school
fund under the law. Marvin college was
once UNCONVENTIONAL school, and its patrons
received no benefit from the school fund,
though children of all denominations, includ,
ing Catholics, attended. Butnow as private
institution each pupil within scholastic age
gets share of the public fund. Why thu,
difference? The instruction is the same, for
no sectarian doctrine has ever been laugh
within the college walls, nor is it cnstomar,
for UNCONVENTIONAL schools to teach any re
Iigious doctrine other than the general princi
pies of morality and Christianity.

An Iowa Man at Heavens Gate.

An eloquent Iowa divine who has O
decided pencham for farming and fine
stock, and who, by the way, is q very
successful farmer, is blessed with a
better half, of a bright and happy turn
of mind, who occasionally refers to her
spouse's love for agricultural pursuits in
a manner too good to be lost.
One day in conversation with friend
of the family she remarked with very
serious air:
"Mr. C, l had very singular
dream last night, l dreamt that my hus-
band weut to heaven. Under one arm
he had jar of the best creamery butter,
under the other a nice Poland China
pig, while he led fine Short-horn calf.
Upon approaching the gates of heaven
he demanded admittance. st. Peter ap-
peared with the keys in his hand and
demanded what he wanted. My hus.
band replied, that having lived the
life of the just, he wanted to enter the
realm of the blessed What are those
things you have with you?' said st.
Peter giving the keys an ominous jingle.
"A jar of the best creamery butter ever
made in the realms of a mundane
sphere, Poland China pig, of the purest
pedigree, and Short-horn that can't
be beat.
: 'Umph, said st. Peter, turning ON
his heel and giving the gate terrific
slam, drop those things and go back
and get your wife and children. ;"
The joke was on the divine, but he
