DR.. MARY WALKER, the crank who
persists in wearing pantaloons and
making a circus of herself generally,

Arthur that she is frequent caller at
the White House. She is widow

facts open a wide range for specula.

change.
Mrs. DR.. Mary Walker is nasty,
little, angular scrub, with pinchback
face and the feet Of backwoodsman,
without a single feature in her coun-
tenance or a single line in her shape
that doesn't inspire disgust; and the
above assault upon the president, not
less revolving, although less criminal,
than Guiteau's upon President Gar
field, would not have been written if
our contemporary in which it appeared
had ever seen her. Our personal con-
sideration for the writer will permit us
to say no more than that Ell Paso is
responsible for it. Ell Paso will be
ashamed of itself when it sees her.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

THE two tariff. only news
papers in this city are singing little
low now; they are afraid to straddle
Senator Coke's speech.
We had almost forgotten Fhpper.
It is stated that as he was not found
guilty of embezzlement he will not be
dismissed from the army.
The Houston Post gives an en-
craving OF the new state capitol; 1t
looks like the national capitol. The
Post is branching out as an illustrated
paper.
We must make up our minds that
bourbonism in Texas will mask itself
with the most advanced republican
ideas. When the ball is over and the
actors unmask, we will discover the
old bourbon party intact.
If THE Texas democracy give up
all the cherished principles of bourbon
ism, what will be use of keeping the
rotten sign democratic party over
the door! We put the question to
our intelligent democratic press.
We have always regarded Senator
Coke as the embodiment of the true
inwardness of the democratic party IN
the state; in fact ne is democracy IN
carnate. His recent buncomb speech
on the tariff is intended for national
consumption--the Texas constituency
will be fed on miTder diet.
THE Standardization" a tariff for
revenue only advocate, says that II
Wash. Jones expects to be governor OF
Texas he will have to get his votes
outside of Texas. Now, the S. v. is
only q little bit afraid that it don't
know Just exactly what it is talking
about.
THERE is not an old ex-confederate
democrat in Texas, who, if he has any
hberality in his composition, but feels
that he owes the republican party an
apology since the signal failure of the
democracy to bring about the best re-
suits after six years Of absolute control
Of affairs.
THERE is quite lively canvass for
senator in the goth district. The latest
Richmond in the field is Gen. Jno. X.
Baylor. Gen. Baylor is antl-bourbon
and is one of the most popular men in
the district. Capt. Archibald Boyle is
also candidate, and has many warm
friends. If possible, Baylor and Boyle
ought to combine.
THE two congressional districts to
be carved out of the 9th, must be
either republican or independent. The
gfes;.sest good to the greatest number
can be best attained through the re-
publican party. We want protection
and harbor appropriations. Let us be
selfish and republican instead of fool
ish and democratic. 1t will pay better
both in pocket and mind.
THF following from the Victoria Ad'
vocate shows that genial spring is tal
advanced in the lower counties:
Peaches are on some trees as large
as quails' eggs, and plums are, in many
places, out of bloom and growing fine
". Fig trees are putting forth then
leaves. while strawberries were ripe Z
week ago. The grass is growing witt
remarkable thrift, as is also all vegeta
ton. This season bids fair to be
prolific one.

UNCLE DANIEL, of the Houston
Age, gets off quite long editorial in
defence of the o. a. for approving that
little bill for his jack rabbit book fur
nished the state normal school. Now,
Uncle Dan has this extraordinary vir-
tue, he believs every old high-up
democrat to be the quintescence of
honesty, and every high-up republican
to be the very opposite. Hence, he
smiles in derision when his democratic
brother of the Express calls Conkling
honest, and sneers at the suggestion
that the o. a. is not the very soul of
honor and greatness, even if he did
make the state pay for his fool book.
Uncle Daniel is thoroughly consistent.
THE Fort Worth Republican comes
to us full of the recent republican gath
ering at that place. The only thing
that seems to have happened to disturb
the harmony was a discussion over the
woman suffrage question. There is
always woman at the bottom of the
trouble.

ELECTION EcROEs.
What the Man and voteris Doing
At Noon.

At noon to-day ballots were going in
regularly at the various voting places
and there was very little excitement.
Few voters were challenged by either
side and though it is evident that
there is a deep interest it does not
take a boisterous form, In the First
ward lS9 votes had been cast. There
was very little scratching and at that
hour the strength OF the two tickets
seemed about. equal. Some declared
Chase had a majority, others that
Burke led him several dozen votes.
} Up to the same hour 15S votes had
been cast in the Second ward.
The Hadden Graves Burke men
seemed to be demoralized and work.
ing with little heart. The Peoples
ticket in this ward will doubtless be
elected by a good majority.
Inthe Third ward about l75 ballots
had futtered into the mouth of the
ballot box. The general opinion
seemed to be that the Citizens ticket
had the most voters at that hour.
In the Fourth ward good work was
being done for the Peoples ticket. OF
the 1S2 votes cast up to 11;30 am. at
least 100 were for Hadden, Chase and
Scheibler.
Everything seemed to be going one
way in the Fifth ward, which for once
was l%ivelier than the First. Very lit
tie scratching was done, and the Citi-
zens' ticket led probably 14O Of 200
votes cast being in its favor,
The lead pencil was in demand in
the Sixth ward. A greater variety Of
tickets was shown here than in any
other. The result of the scratching
seemed to be in favor Of Chase against
Burke, the interest %centering on these
two.
No reliable report has come from
the Seventh ward at this writing, and
there is little enthusiasm in the
Ninth.
The two tickets are neck and neck
in the Eighth, where about 148 votes
had been polled at noon
The Tenth is reported as going a
little in favor of the Citizens ticket.
At several Of the polls a notice was
posted up which read: 1.-THE opposi-
ton is running Hadden for two years
and Chase for four years. Everybody
should vote for Mr.. Hadden for four
years, as the votes count nothing, as
the Citizens ticket is four years for
Mr.. Hadden."

Pittsburg Post: Among the schemes
which will come before Congress this
winter is one to connect the Missis-
sippi river and the lake system by a
canal between the Illinois river at
Hennepin to Rock Island on the Mis-
sissippi. The distance is only sixty.
FIVE miles and the estimated cost is.
$4,000 900. A strong lobby has been
formed at Davenport and Chicago and
money has been raised to press the
scheme. Its opponents say that it
will cost from $4,000, 600 to $50,
900, and hat it is utterly impractical.
BILE. The purpose of the canal is an
artificial water way to compete with
that great natural water way, the
Mississippi, If the Chicago or Illi-
nois people desire such a canal let
them construct it themselves. They
may do it for three millions, but it
will cost Uncle Sam ten times that
amount.

WASHINGTON, January 3.-There
is no Cabinet news. There is no
reason to believe that President Ar
thur has decided on a Secretary Of the
Navy or a Secretary Of the Interior.
He is Watching and listening to what
is said about the different names pro-
posed. He reads the newspapers, and
studies public sentiment. The news
paper objections to ex-senator Sar-
gent, of California, as the Secretary of
the Interior, Injuries his chanoes of
obtaining that position. The friends
OF the President do not talk as if
VIM. Il. Chandler was going to be
Secretary Of the Navy. They do say
that the idea of appointing Boutwell,
has been given up.
Ex-G Governor A. II. Rice, men,
toned in these dispatches some weeks
since as the prospective Secretary of
tho Navy, is again talked of. He is
believed by New Englanders to be

WASHINGTON, January 3.-ColoneI
Jack Brown, who has taken upon his
shoulders the management of the In
dependent movement in Georgia, re.
turned to the city to day from that
State. He is just bubbling W
with hope. He says that everything
is ripe in Georgia for a new reve-
l%ation, and that there is no doubt but
that the Independents AID Republi-
cans have a big show for success in
Georgia. Recent Developments in ma
tional politics have, he asserts, made
Republicans in Georgia respectable.
Upon that principally he bases his
hope for future Independent success.
According to him General Gartrell,
who was an officer 10 the Confederate
army, is the choice Of the Republicans
and Independents in the next Guber-.
Material contest in Georgia. To listen
to this constituted Republican indie
pendent exponent the assumption
would be that Georgia is already in
the procession headed by Virginia.

WASHINGTON, January 3.-There

cles here about three men who we're
attached to as many foreign legations
last winter. They were apprehended
in an attempt Cat a public reception
upon the virtue OF a beautiful young
lady of society. The matter was called
to the attention of the State Depart
ment, and the result was the recall
by their home governments Of the
three gay and festive foreigners. Butall
three Of them we're Of families Of
Importance in their respective couh-
tries. They have all recently reap
peared upon the Washington scene, it
is supposed, to begin their campaigns
again. They r az unanimous as the
foreign diplomat, no matter how small
his diplomatic position, is in Wash
ington society. The members Of the
club to which they formerly belonged
(the Metropolitan which is mainly
composed Of State Department clerks
and snobs, are debating whether they
shall again admit the foreign diplo-
matte libertines into their fold, and
West End society is debating wheth.
