CLARK MILLS, the sculptor, is dead.
Among his distinguished works are
statue of Liberty on the dome of the
capitol and the equestrian statue of
Gen. jackson on Lafayette square,
Washington, and similar statue of
jackson in New Orleans. So evenly
are these statues balanced the horse
stands on one bind foot and bears the
whole weight of the bronze casting.
He began life as a plasterer and for
several years worked at his trade in
Washington.

the story, and exclaims, What plor

wounds, and pyramid of axle grease
where Travis fought unto the vey
death, and then the strangers lips do
curl in naughty scorn as he claims,
what vain and idle boosters these
Texans are! To hear them talk one
would think they were constantly in
high f.ver of patriotic fervor and
admiration for the heroes they
vaunt as kith and kin, and yet here is
the scene of their greatest boast,
their cradle Of liberty" their almost
sainted Alamo, converted into ware
house; standing monument to the
niggardness of people who can boast
by the hour of the greatness and
glory of themselves reflected from the
ancient pile!"
While Texas was poor, its treasury
bare, and the tax gatherer met with
dread, there was some excuse for con.
filming our admiration to words, but
in all the galaxy of states to-day there
is not one with a lighter resting debt,
or with better filled public vault than
the Lone Star state, and we can
no longer point out the Alamo toa
stranger without bringing us into con.
tempt, without causing derisive smiles
by the tales we tell.
If the next legislature will not re-
move the cause of our disgrace in the
eyes of our neighbors, let them be
merciful enough to place an embargo
on the use of the word alamo" and
tear the name from the historic pile,
so that visitors from abroad will not
be attracted to the evidence OF our
shame and parsimony.

The demand for . political change was
what started and propelled with ccumu
lating velocity the tidal wave Of 1881.
The same demand was the chief element
in this years Democratic success in Ohio.
The spirit Of it will be in the contest that
takes place next Tuesday week in Penn
.sylvania. There the lion will be bearded
in his den. The result 10, of course,
dubious. The demand for . change has
gone forth throughout the land, how
ever, aud we expect that when New
York and New Jersey have been heard
from the voice of the people will be
recognized as . prophecy Of the outcome
in 1884. People who are not politicians
see that some things need to be done
which the Democratic party can do. The
Republicans have spent owe fifteen years
in trying to improve the status of the
colored people in the South, and have 30
totally failed that even the negroes
themselves are in revolt against it. The
party began by setting up carpet-bag
Governments to rob the people and pile
up mountains Of debt for the State to
pay; and it did it's utmost to create an
tagonism between the colored and white
people OF the South, to the ~unspeakable
injury Of both. Its policy wa fatal to
the South, and it can do nothing to
settle the difficulty its " recklessncss
created. It has a~ntagonized labor and
capital until both are in . state bordering
on war; and by sacrificing everything to
capital it has embittered the working
people against wealth to an unprece.
dented degree. The Democracy, who
recognize the mutual dependence of these
two factors upon each other. who insist
on perfect justice to both Of them, who
plead the cause Of labor quite - much
for the protection Of capital ~ for the
laborer, must settle this question. The
railroad question, the telegraph question,
the shipping question, the public land
question, the contract labor question
all require Democratic statesmanship for
their solution. The people understand
this matter and will vote accordingly. A
new policy is demanded, and . new
party 1t the head Of the nation must in
augurate and carry it out.
