political organization.
From the manifestations of public
setimennt, it appears to me that it
will be consistent with my sense of
duty to the public to become can-
didate for governor at the next elec-
ton, and if nothing supervenes to
change this opinion, my friends may
rest assured that l will not disap-
point their expectations. The main
effort of the opposition will be to
try to have the people believe that
my candidacy is an alliance or coal
ition with the ReGublican party,
aud if possible make the con-
test appear. to be really be-
tween the Democrats and Repub-
licans. This is what they did in '76
and again in '78, though they knew
their candidate had the support of
the Republican administration and
relied upon it as all assurance OF
success. 1t Is a matter of history
that A. b. Norton and Stillwell Rus
sell actually got up a meeting al
Dallas and nominated a Republican
i'll the interests of Bourbonism, and
yet l was denounced as Republican
though every well-informed man In
the state knew the charge was wholly
without foundation In 1880 the
charge was repeated, and my con-
gressional record referred to in
proof of it, while their Republican
allies, notably Judge McAdoo
charged to the Republicans that
was an incorrigible Bourbon, and
referred TO my congressional record
to prove it, alleging that when my
votes were analyzed it was clear that

An Important Decision.
Washington Republican.


Attorney General Brewster made
a decision a few days since which
materially affects the interests OF
contractors on mail routes through
out the country. The question was
raised as to whether or not deduc-
ton should be made from the pay
of contractors who failed to perform
mail service, owing to the overflow
of the lower Mississippi valley. The
section of the revised statutes in
tended to direct the course of the
department in this matter has been
subject to various interpr citations.
1t reads as follows:
"Tbe postmaster general may i'm
pose deductions and fines for failure
to perform trip where the trip is
not rum" etc. For some time past
the policy of the contract office has
been to withdraw deductions under
extraordinary circumstances, and
where failure was caused by a gen.
eral disaster. At the time the vel
low fever interfered with mail SER
vice in the south, for instance, con-
tractors were excused in many cases
from performing service, and were
allowed full pay. 1t has also been
the uniform practice of the depart
ment to excuse railway companies
where overfows or landslides have
occurred, or any other unavoidable
accident. Just why star contract

1T is now believed that both Eng

Our exports of gold have come to
an end, and their net amount was
only a paltry ten million, two hun
dred thousand dollars. Our stock
ofcotton and breadstuffs Is low, and
the supply on hand in Europe is
much below the average. Before
the middle of summer America will
be selling both at high prices and
the tide of gold will again turn
westward. A good crop of wheat
and cotton will enable us to keep
up this gold draining process for
the round year.

HON. &. w. JONES FOR Gov
ERNOR,
Independent of Parties, Cliques
and Combinations.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 23.-
Messrs. Taylor. Warren and others
Gentlemen-Yours of the goth inst.
received. Our next elections are so
important, involving so seriously
the highest interests of the people
of Texas, that one really in SYM
pathy with the masses of the people
will naturally hesitate to become q
candidate for the highest office in the
gift of the people, lest he should
thereby hurt the cause lac would pro-
mote.
For years / had thought and felt
that all practical issues of national
policy between the two old parties,
having been settled, had survived
their usefulness and should be dis
carded as Instructions to progress
and as instruments IN the hands of
the ambitious and selfish. This is
the position maintained in my can
vass for congress in 1876 and fur
ther, that the convention system abb
stracts power from the people and
concentrates it in the hands of pol
iticians, and in the absence of real
practical issues, serves only as a ma
chine for the harvest of spoils.
In my judgment the reason is as
imperious now as in '76, and now
repeat what / said to Mr.. Taylor in
former communication, that if my
candidacy for governor can oon-
tribute to the overthrow of the
tyranny, Of the prejudice partially
engendered by the strife between
the old parties, will become a can
didate strictly and emphatically in
dependent of all cliques and COM
binations. and, if elected, 1 shall de-
vote myself to the attainment of the

SENATOR TERRELL's personal re-
marks in the senate, yesterday,
deserve attention. He presents a
distinction between personal and
political friendship in his relation to
Mr.. Jones. He is right so far as his
individual opinion of the man is
concerned, and he deserves praise
for his adhesion to q friendship
which knows no adversely, even in
politics, where so many be-
come embittered for life. But
the matter is purely personal,
and connects itself, not even by
relation. with any one beside
Senator Terrell and Mr.. Jones. IL
refers to a strong personal attach
menL which the jealousies and ha-
treds OF political life have never dis
turbed, and properly it is no ones
right to invade this haIlowed
sphere with ought that is harsh.

endorsement Of Mr.. Jones, and dif-
fered as 70 the impressions ex-
pressed regarding Mr.. Jones. Per-
sopal love often covers a multi.
tude of defects, and, regarding

Concerning the recent debate in
the senate over war issues the New
York Times makes these sensible
remarks:
The issues of the war which were
fought over in the house the other
day engaged good deal of the val
liable time of the senate yesterday.
Without calling in question the
gravity of the considerations pre-
sented by Mr.. Edmunds, it is evident
that the time could have been better
employed. A dispute about perpet-
uating the disabilities of a former
page boy in rebel legislature is a
sufficiently small business 10 engage
the attention of the United States
senate, however lofty may have been
the reflections which it suggested.
But all such discussions have this
radical irrelevance- that they pro-
ceed on the assumption that the dan
gers to the union of twenty years
ago are live issues to-day. Every
man in his senses knows that what
ever struggles may be before the re-
public. another struggle between
north and south is impossible. We
may drift into foreign war, we may
be cursed with a socialistic revolt,
but with "a war of sections, never
again. All that can be demanded of
the south is that il should respect the
equality ofhuman rights guaranteed
by the constitution and take its fair
share of the equality of duties which
is the necessary correlative OF such
a compact. The old rebel states
cannot be with US without being Of
us, and persistent nagging at COM
munities with whom we are indissol-
ubly bound, savors neither of states
manship nor common sense.

American Culture.

The new number of the Nine
teepth Century contains paper by
Mathew Arnold, entitled GA Word
to America" which is reasonably
sure of being widely read and dis
cussed in the United States. Mr..
Arnold denies the statement made
in the Atlantic Monthly to the ef-
feet that he had spoken of Amer
lean manners as "vulgar." He says
that he never held any such Ian
guage, but that the life of Americans
does not seem to him to be the lite
of the British Philistine. He sees
the "bitter and rowdy Philistines "
exhibiting themselves with great
luxuriance and with very little check
in the United States. Quoting Mr..
Lowelps saying that "Americans are
the most common schooled and the
least cultivated people in the
world" Mr.. Arnold says that what
is manifiestly needed is a higher
and larger cultivation. America
needs good secondary schools, with
a practical programe, and asks his
American critics what they think of
this.
