TIE JUDGE.

'Wherever do all the Texas Judges come
from, anyway" exclaimed carrotty-haired,
freckle-faced goober-grabbler from the state Of
Georgia "From the same place that Georgia
receives her Majors" was the prompt reply.
The Judge is sometimes called esquire, -
perhaps because he is regarded as an indis
pensible adjunct to a four-handed game Of
poker, rather than from any delicate and con-
scientious balancing of the scales of justice.
In fact the Texas article has little, if any, per-
sonal acquaintance with the Ar scribta, and
he only balances, just before the election on
on the top rail of the fence which divides ri.
val political cliques. He is always good
Judge of whisky, and his decision stands re-
corded to the effect that all is good
brands, possibly, being little better than
others. The Judges nose sometimes re-
sembles the snout of a turkey gobbler; and to
see him from a stern view you would pro-
nounce him tall and slim, while front exh-
bition would reveal the fact that he was con-
siderably verging upon embonpoint; it has
never been definitely decided in which cate
CORY to place the Judge.
Sometimes the Indian is called ''the COL
oneI," and very rarely the "capting." But
CAPTAINS are so common since the war that the
Judge will but seldom answer to lower mill
tary title than ''majer."

How WILL it be when John Ireland runs on
tarif.for-revenue-only platform with Epson

John IRELAND was fiat money man once.
How will it be when he runs against a green
hacker for governor. His own logic will de-
feat him.
THE wife of Mackey, the newly elected seated
representative from South Carolina, is de-
scribed as pretty, red-cheeked "brunette,"

EMANCIPATION day will be overwhelmingly
celebrated in Victoria. 1t will take in all the
southeast counties. Hon. Boliver Pridgen is
the moving spirit, and four thousand freed
men are to be present.
THE tariff commission does not suit the
democratic congressman, and if it is SO COM
posed as charged, as to be barren of results
other than delay, Mr. Epson will feel sorry he
voted for it, won't he?
THERE will be a grand emancipation day

other amusements, and is to last two days, 10th

THE Schulenburg Enterprise prints plat

MICHAEL DAvITT is credited with a new
departure on the land question in Ireland he
favors the ownership being vested in the gov
eminent, and not in the tiller Of the soil.
Davitt is only promulgating theory long &C
cepted by leaders in the land agitation.
THE Dallas Herald expresses the democratic
sentiment on the tariff question: ITO Messrs.
Coke, Mills, Reagan, Maxey, Wellborn and
Culberson all honor is due for the uniform
steadfastness with which they have truly rep
resented and advocated the best interests Of
their people in this and all kindred measures.
They have been wise enough to see and indie

credit"
THE Oregon republican gun is significant
of the complete overthrow of the democracy
throughout the entire country. In the south
democracy or bourbonism has had its strong
est hold, but its greatest danger is also Turk
ing here. Once turned the tide of sentiment
in the south, aside from the deep rents of sec.
tional prejudice, and. bourbonsm is lost for
ever. Once get the people of the south to
abandon the 'lost cause" sentimentally and
bourbonism is doomed. Only let the people
look at this matter of politics in common
sense way and so-called democracy will no
more dominate over the people Of the south.

Anniversary Meeting.

Interesting exercises were held last night,
commencing at 7;15, at tho Mt Pleasant NJ.
p. Church on the occasion OF tho eighth an
niversary Of the church. Rev. Mr.. Coulbourne,
the superintendent, opened the services with
the announcement of the hymn "welcome to

prayer, offered by Rev. p. II. Hall, in which he
invoked the Divine blessing upon the occasion
and rendered fervent thanks for mercles OF the
past.
At the organ Miss Matte Hunt presided,
performing her important part with that grace
and sweetness so characteristic OF her; tho
musical character OF the fair performers

showing marked progress of the Sunday
school connected with the church.
Rev. .MrCoulbourne,presid elder,held tho
audience spellbound for ton minutes, while he
based his remarks upon the magnificent arch
which was erected at the altar This arch was
arranged with emblematic notices, which In
themselves preached sweet, though silent,
sermon; but, used as illustrating MIR. Coul-
bourne's remarks, they took on a brilliant
beauty which heightened the effect Of tho
stirring lessons taught by the speaker.
Tho building of the arch by successive blocks,
accompanied by appropriate recltations as
each block was hoistGd into position, created q
scene OF SURPRISING attractiyeness and me.

THE PAYNE TRIAL
DraGs It's Slow Length Painfully
AiOng-NOthing Very New or I'm
pOrtant Developed.

In the Police Court, at IL; 80 p. m. to-day,
the hearing in the case of Arthur Payne,
charged with attempting to bribe Juror
Brown, was resumed All the counsel on both
sides were In attendance.
Howard Claggett, for the defendant, made
motion for the reduction of bonds from 1000
TO 1000 on account OF the physical disability
OF the prisoner, as well as tho destitute cir
cumstances OF his family.
The prosecution refused to consent to tho
reduction of bail and the matter was laid over
for future consideration.
Mr.. l. NJ. Baker, secretary 10 Colonel Inger-
soil, was examined as to his custody OF tho
package supposed to contain tho missing
Foote and Brown afldavlts. Witness knew
nothing more than has been already stated.
Wm. Knox Brown,
the colored juror, was recalled and the cross
examination resumed. He testified again TO
the details of his meetings with Payne. His
original affidavit, made 10 Prosecuting Attor.
ney Moore, was shown him. Ho corro90ratod
the statements In tho aflldayit ana said they
were all substantially correct, although, per-
haps, n little ambiguous.
He had told personal friends of the approach
by Payne on the same night II occurred. Wit
ness had never attempted TO give the exact
language OF tho agreement presented to him
by Payne and did not know It's precise word
Ing. He said he had uniformly intended to
sta that Payne sent for him and that he went
to Payno's house to SEQ what ho wanted and
was shown tho Fall agreement there. The
second Interview between Payne and witness
on July was dwelt on at length, tho defense
claiming that the interview had never oc'
cured.
Tne cross-eXamination and the redirect eX.
animation OF Brown were very extensive, but
failed TO develop anything now.
George u. Miller,
detective, was called. Ho had known tho de-
fendant for about forty days; had accom-
panied him TO consult Colonel Ingorsoll for
legal advise as to whether he could safely
mako an ailldavit. Payne at that time made
his statement OF his connection with Fall,
Foote and Brown.
Witnoss had a warm personal friendship
for Ex-senator Dorsey and Colonel lngorsoll,
and this was his only Incentive for giving In
formation to them. He had never been en-
ployed or received any recompense for his ser
yices,and had never done anything 20 dofeat tho
ends Of Justice or do anything else except with
q view to bringing guilty men like Fall to Ius-
tlce.
The ecross'examinRtlon OF Mr.. Miller loft his
testimony entirely unbrokon.
