A TELEGRAM to the Post saws

Postoffice Inspector w. E. Smith,
of Texas, the brother-in-laW of Sena-
tor Maxey, has filed an application for
the appointment Of postmaster Of
Fort Worth. Chief Inspector Gen.
Edgerton has strongly endorsed Mr..
Smith and urges his appointment on
the special ground that he has been
partially disabled for active work as
an inspector while in the service of
the government. 1t is also under
stood that the officials in the postoffice
department are in favor of Mr.. Smith,
A strong effort will be made, however
in behalf of the present incumbent
Mrs. Burchell. Senator Allison, OF
Iowa, is her champion and will On
deayor to keep her in her place. The
chief objection to Mrs. Burchell seems
to be that she is woman, and that nc
woman should have charge of so ina
portant an Office as Fort Worth.

THE Boston Post, Democrat, which
has been opposing some of Gov. But
ler's campaign methods, defines its po-
sition as follows:
1--WE prefer the Democratic platform
by large majority. The latter falls
far short of perfection, but it invites
man to positive position, which
the Re publican platform does not. We
are happy to announce that the lamp
by which our feet are guided is the
light of pure Democracy. We believe
its principles to be immortal and stis-
ceptible of universal application. If
these principles can be made the gov
erning influence il this state and
country, we care comparatively little
about the agents through whom they
are established. Once grounded in
these principles and faithful to them,
it is easy to gauge men and tenden-
cies. We shall support Gen. Butler
now and hel eafter, right up to the
high-water mark of what we may
consider his genuine service In the
direction of that consummation for
which we are laboring, and which we
so earnestly desire"

Beaten Candidates.
Galveston Print


The News correspondent from Aus
tin makes Hon. John Hancock say
that there is a usage in the Demo-
cratic party never to run beaten
candidate for president-thiS in refer
ence to Tilden as prospective candi-
date next year. If the distinguished
congressman means to say that no
Democrat has ever been elected presi-
dent who had been beaten for the
same Office, he had better read history
again. No Democrat will deny the
Democract of Jefferson and Jackson;
they were the high priests of Democ-
racy in their day and time. John
Adams beat Jefferson in 1895, and
Jefferson beat Adams in 1900 and
Pinckney in 1904. John @. Adams
was elected by the house of representa-
tiVes, over Jackson in 1924, and Jack
son was elected in 1928 and 1892.
Washington beat Adams in 1888 and
again 1892. and Adams was elected in
1895. Van Buren, beat Harrison in
1886, and Harrison was elected in
1910. Thus it will be seen that four
beaten candidates were elected, to-
wit: Adams, Jefferson, Jackson and
Harrison. Even were it true that the
Democrats never run beaten candi-
date the usage could not apply to Til
den, and no one knows it better than
John Hancock. Again, such an usage
is gigantic piece of foolishness, as
Hon. John Hancock was beaten for
congress the first time he run, and has
been beaten once since: Wash Jones
was beaten for congress by Giddings
in 1876, and afterwards beat Hancock
and Shepherd in two consecutive
races, in 1878 and 1880; General Sam
Houston was beaten by Dick Runnells
in 1857 for governor, and was in turn
elected over Runnells in 1858; Roscoe
Conkling was beaten for congress the
first time he ran, and was afterwards
congressman and senator as long as he
wanted to be, and then flung it laway
in pet; John Ireland was beaten for
congress the first time he ran and is
now as good governor as Texas ever
had; Butler was beaten for governor
the first time he ran and is now, par
excellence, the best governor Massa-
chusetts ever had; Bob Lowry was
beaten for the first state office he ran
for and is now the popular governor
of Mississippi. 1t is a tallacy both in
principle and practice to say that the
Democracy should not run q beaten
candidate for president, or any other
Office; and the party that adopts it to
the exclusion of its best men does not
deserve success.

The total exports of Mexico, in
Guiding the precious metals, for the
year ending June 30, 1882, amounted
to $29, O83. 293, or less than one-half the
value of the cotton crop of Texas. Of
this amount, $17,063,767 was gold and
silver, leaving net export of what is
known as domestic articles, including
henequen, coffee, hides and skins, lum-
Der and dye woods, sugar and other
products of lesser value, amounting to
$12,019,526. OF these exports, nearly
one-half, or $13,76O,O61, came to the
United States, Great Britain getting
the next largest amount, or $1O,284,-
900, the balance going to other Euro
pean nations and small modicum to
South America. The significance of
this trade shows the Importance of a
commercial treaty with Mexico, in
which practical free trade would be
the distinguishing feature. The great
cause of SO small an export trade has
been the difficulty of transportation,
but the railways are taking the place
of the pack mule; and channels being
opened through three trunk lines into
the United States, there must at once
be change. To make it even more
signal the treaty is needed, and the
result will be that both countries will
at once proceed to nourish COM
MERGE that will grow at an increased
ratio as the years pass. It may be
mentioned here that the Pennsylva-
mia protectionists oppose the treaty,
because they fear the lesson that may
be taught through the establishment
of free trade with the sister republic.

EXEMPLARY ExTRAvAGANCE.

The New York Sun finds a multi
tude of reasons why the rascals should
be turned out. 1t now presents some
damaging matters in connection with
White House expenditures. Since
1870 the sum of $4,000 has been ap-
propriated for furniture for the exc
cutive mansion. This sum would
build two or three such houses as the
White House, and furnish them. Pri-
or to the war $4,000 were appropri-
ated once in four years for refurnish-
ing the White House. That, howev-
CT, was before the period had begun
when an executive mansion must
be renewed from top to bottom,
and completely refurnished, before
an executive would take up his
residence in it. Executive extravi-
gance was inaugurated by President
Grant, and it has been copied by his sue
cessors and by very many executive
officers. The appropriation, now made
annually, for furnishing the White
House is $4,000, and though the fur
niture is hardly soiled by one years
use, it is not told what becomes an
nually of the cast away furniture.
Nobody appears to be able to tell
anything about it. The furniture
used to be sold and the proceeds &C
counted for. The country has become
too great and rich, IT may be, to bother
about a few thousands of dollars
worth of old furniture. 1t is related,
that when Mr.. Garfield came into
the White House he could not find
enough cooking utensils and dishes to
give dinner to a few friends. There
wasn't napkin to be found. Did Mr..
Hayes carry all these things Off This
is hardly probable, and yet that is the
only explanation that suggests itself.
A new executive mansion will proba.
bly, be built in few years. Every
congress considers the matter, and a
finer house will require finer furni-
ture. If there should be as much ex-
travagance in furnishing the new
house as there has been in the old, the
surplus in the treasury would, there
by, be considerably reduced. But
there is the same sort of extravaganza
in all departments of the govern.
fment, and their control must pass
out of the hands of the Repub-
lican party before these extravagan.
cles can be stopped. To inaugurate a
new economy in federal administra.
ton we have urged that Southern
Democrats unite at the next nominal
ing convention to name a man for the
presidency, who will put an end to
these evil practices that have dis.
graced the administration of public
affairs. The example is catching, and
things are now done in state, county
and municipal government, all ovel
the country. that were not dreamed OF
twenty-five years ago.

In THE memoirs of w. H. Seward,
just published, it is stated that one of
the thorns which the British govern
ment stuck in his flesh, during the
war, was owing to Gen. Buffers IA
nous New Orleans women order.
"Mr. Stuart, of the british legation
at Washington, intimated to Mr..
Seward that her majesty's govern
ment was very much Disguised with
the wording of Gen. Buffers order,
and hoped that the United States gov
eminent would at once express its
disapproval of it. To this Mr.. Seward
replied that he must ask her majesty's
government to adopt rule of con-
stractien which the British nation
had eiepated to the dignity of a prin-
eiRIe md made the motto of their ma
ti1nsA arms-Honi soft qui NAL
pense. That it was not until a
gross construction of the order was
brought to the knowledge of this gov
eminent that we saw that the procla-
nation contained a double entendre.
That gross meaning the government,
of course, rejected, and it regretted
that in the haste of composition a
phraseology which could be mistaken
or perverted had been used" Mr..
was ashamed of Butler, as
wen he might be, and the government
that Butler was not as vile
as be seemed. But he is governor of
a cultured people. and it is predicted
he viii be reelected on the 9th of No
Yember.

SENATOR MAHoNE's letter to Mrs.
Bette Bumgardner, a postmistress in
Virginia, making an assessment of 81

forward that amount to the campaign
fund of the Readjuster party, is a

Malone is the pet Of Presi-

But Malone did not visit Mrs. Bum
