Ell PAso used to be the region depended on
for turning doubtful contests, as it took weeks
TO hear from there, but Ell Paso has new
population who are strangers to even the
great men of Texas. The Fort Worth Gazette
sent an agent to Ell Paso the other day. and
he tells the following experience
81 made some inquiries with regard to Ire
land as the democratic nominee tor governor,
and learned that there isn't the slightest IN
terest felt on the subject. One prominent man
said two drops of Ireland's blood infused
into frog would freeze the frog in three MN
utes.' On the other hand, the people here
don't seem to know hardly that there is such
a man as Wash. Jones in existence. wouldn't
have been surprised if had been asked:
who in the - is this man Jones, anyhow :
Politically there is no such thing as party or
ganization.
If THE republican party obtain majority
in the next congress it is quite probable that
+. !. Davis will be made member. Inc
vote in the Austin district is going to be
close enough warrant republican majority IN
seating Davis, even though he does fall be-
hind few hundred votes. That is the re-
publican method of making hay while the
sun shines. These matters with them are
matters of convenience, not honest principle.
= Bolton Journal.
1t is of record that republican majority IN
congress seated Gddings, democratic con-
testant, over Clark, republican with a GER
tifcate of election from Texas. And it is a
further fact that the evidence that unseated
Clark was perured testimony, and one wit
ness went to the penitentiary for it.
THE BRENNAN Banner takes John Hancock
as text to preach chapter on "Conserva-
tism." 1t says:
A wonderful change has come over the spirit
and temper OF the democracy Of Texas, during
the past few years. There is now spirit OF
liberality and conservatism that bids fair to
keep abreast of the times. Bourbonism and
prescription are evidently things of the past.
The spirit of liberality is manifesting itself in
the disposition of the democrats Of the 10th
congressional district to bring Jonn Hancock
forward as candidate for congress. A few
wears ago the mere mention Of the name OF
John Hancock was sufficient to give the writer
of democratic paper spaSms, while the rank
and file of the party would spit, sputter and
swear. Now the sentiment is entirely changed
and if there is democratic paper in all Texas
that has not good word for Hancock, we do
not know it and our exchange list includes all
the papers of any prominence in the state.
If there is man in the state who has con-
tributed more to build up the spirit of intol-
lerance and party bigotry in Texas than John
Hancock we should like to have him named.
He had so little humanity in his composition
that he made himself famous as the author OF
the mule as voter in conjunction the right
of suffrage being given to the negro.

Pennsylvania has invented baby spank
ing machine. It can be attached 10 q sewing
machine, or can be wound up and operate
itself. It enables the most harassed mother
to do up the family spanking in ten minutes,
and to take in spanking instead of washing or
sewing. a recent test showed that the ma
chine was able to reduce the most refractory
baby to lamb-like gentleness in eight seconds
by stop watch. A special size is made for
twins, and a musical box attachment browns
the voice of the spankee.

CALL OF THE pARrRlsInGR

The fields are wet. the fields are green,
All things are glad and growing.
And fresh and cool across the pool
s The gentle wind is blowing.
Tho humid clouds yet fill the sky
The rain has ceased its falling.
And from his rail across the swale
hear the partridge calling.
The spotted partridge calling.
Thro' the silence not a note
His listening ear is greeting.
But here. oh hear, how loud and clear
His call he is repeating.
What pleading fingers in his tone.
What tenderness revealing!
All. soft aud sweet across the wheat
A timid answers stealing.

Having lost three daughters by. the

my great surprise, before my daug gh-

and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the any sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise. injurious. ..
BRowN's1RoN BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen.
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

In digging a ditch around the

sixty feet distant from the site OF the
conrt house which was burned at the
riot In 1913, the workmen unearthed
a skull aud several bones Ut the feet
and hands of some Of the victims Oh
that occasion. About seventy feet of
the breatworks thrown mp by the ne
grows are inclosed within The present
court square. The embark ment al
together was some LOO or 200 ards
in iehgth After the fight four score
or more dead negroes were buried IN
the trench they had dug, and covered
with the earth from the eInbanknent
II is said about twenty bodies are
buried within the limits of the pres
ent court square. We have sugges-
ted on a former occasion that these
bodies be exhumed and buried else
where, and still think it should be
done. In leveling around the court
house this week the mound that has
served to mark their whereabouts has
been obliterated, aud it they are moi
moved soon all trace Of them will
likely be lost. 1t looks bad to have
these ghastly relics exhibited ever,
