Eighty-FOur.

Senator Vest talks with great conf
dence of the certain triumph Of the
Democratic party in 1884, no matter
who the Republicans may nominate.
He says that leading Republicans con-
cede the prospect of success to the
Democrats. He says they will not
have Conkling's elOquence, or Game
ron's money or Dorseys management
next time. Conkling sneers at eyery-
thing, Cameron is going to Europe to
stay two years and Dorsey is very
busy keeping out of the penitentiary.
Senator Vest says that the
chances strongly favor Mcdonald
as candidate. and indicates
Mcdonald and Cleveland as the
ticket. lie says Mcdonald can carry
Indiana beyond anybody's power to
buy it away from him, and gives him
character for rugged honesty and
ability and fitness which none can
gainsay.
1t is too soon to nominate the DEM
ocratic standard-bearer, but it is not
for day nor an hour too soon to
awaken public opinion to the merits,
of few distinguished men from
whom he may be chosen. Mcdonald
stock out this way is on a high and
rising market, and unless Something
happens to stop it, viii soon be at a
premium.

A Future Revenue system.
ISt Louis Republican,


Those who have any belief that the
enormous amount of revenue now
collected on imports will continue to
be taken from the people must shut
their eyes to the future. The receipts
from customs for the year which is
to end June 80, 1883, it was estimated
by the secretary of the treasury, will
amount to 1926, 100000. The recent
change in the tariff will not cause
the result to vary materially
from these figures. For the next
fiscal year the estimates increase
the receipts somewhat. The receipts
from internal revenue for the last
fiscal year were $146,523,273. Re-
ceipts from miscellaneous sources in
creased this income to $415OOOOOO.
A reduction of fifty million or more
dollars annually may result tempo
rarily from the legislation of last
winter. But the expansion of COM
merce and production and increase of
population win speedily, with
out further legislation, bring the
receipts of the treasury above the
highest figures yet reached. The
enormous dram upon the treasury for
arrears of pensions temporarily in
creases the expenditures to 1926, Co.,
600. But this allows $101 100000 for
pensions. It also allows $1,000, 1000 for

THE eyes of the Nihilists of Russia
will soon be dlzzled by the most
splendid coronation ceremonies ever
seen in any country. The czarina
will be crowned with three million
rubles worth of gold, diamonds, ru-
bies and pearls, and in her scepter will
blaze the great Orloff diamond,
weighing eight karats more than the
Kohinoor. The thirty-three carriages
of the procession and the horses will
glitter with gold and gems, and the
wealth displayed on the occasion
would buy a first-class power with
all its people and all their possessions.
The Nihilists will behold all this.
VIII they evade the keen eye of vigil
lance and turn the occasion from one
of pomp and glitter to one of death
and royal desolation?

liz HIS letter presenting to the
University of Vermont the magnifi-
cent library left by the late George p.
Marsh, United States minister to
Italy, the Hon. Frederick Billings
urged the necessity of putting up at
once ire-proof library building to
contain the 1000 volumes, as well as
the other collections belonging to the
college. Then he added, as sort of
after thought: And no time should
be lost, and as the university has no
funds to devote to the purpose, give
$4,000 to secure such a building"
Not many years hence such bounties
as this will begin to pour in upon the
University of Texas, which in time
must be the best endowed educational
institution in America.

No Middle Men.

SHERMAN Courier.
Senator Vance, of NOgtn Carolins,.
in a recent interview touches lip n
the penitentiary question in that
state. He says; *The convicts are
employed on the public works and
their labors is farmed out by contract.
They always work. however, under
the overseership Of government
guard, and the contractors have no
control over Them" Or, in other
words, the state instead of leasing the
penitentiaries retains control of them
and contracts for outside work to be
performed by its convicts. This
system is not the same as
the one which has prevailed in
Texas, but the only real differ
ence seems TO be that in North Caro-
lima the state has done away with
"middlemen," and the profits of its
convict labor have accrued directly to
the commonwealth. Senator Vance
says that this system has been found
to work well. The doing away with
intermediary interests is an impor-
tant and commendable feature, and
its RESULTS should be as beneficial in
Texas as in North Carolina. The con-
finement of convicts within the walls
seems to be the only desirable feature
in the North Carolina system.

DIR. Loring, the commissioner of ag-
riculture, is the president of a COM
pany that has been organized in Wash
ington to undertake the drainage of
the Valley of Mexico, for a promised
subsidy of 100000 and a part of the
land to be reclaimed. The present
City of Mexico is on the site of the
ancient Aztec capital, and though the
waters of the lake by which iu was
encircled in the time of Cortez have
withdrawn to distance of two and
half miles. the land is so low-being
the most depressed portion of the val
ley-that thorough system of drain
age has hitherto been impossible To
drain the valley it is apparently nee
essary to tunnel the encircling wall of
mountains at some point, and though
the formidablenes of the undertak-
ing is acknowledged, it is thought by
the company that it can be accom-
plished in two years.

RIossominp as the Rose.

Messrs. Hudson and Sylvester, liv-
ing near Bee Cave, in the north
western part of this county, state that
they have ginned over 500 bales of
cotton up to date. Three years ago
that portion of the county was COM
paratively wilderness. Immigrants
are now pouring in, and land con-
sidered worthless then, brings from
five to ten dollars per acre. Corn is
over knee high and cotton in splendid
condition. This doesn't portend hard
times this year.

Mr.. Randall and the South.

lCharleston, 3. e., News and Courier.l
A careful and evidently well-in-
formed Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald gives an inter
esting review of Mr.. Randall's
chances for the speakership, and an
insight into the tactics by which he
hopes to win that influential office.
The letter, which is given in another
column, will be found instructive, if
not pleasant reading for the people of
the south. We are told, in substance,
that Mr.. Randall is busying himself
just now in the task of strengthening
his hold upon the northern Democ-
racy, and gives himself no
great concern about the
support of the Democratic
representatives of the south, whom
he fancies will be ready enough, when
the time comes, to barter their votes
for the speakership in exchange for
some beggarly subordinate Offices
which are in the gift of the MAJORITY
of the house. This, no doubt. fairly
represents MIR. RandalPs estimate Of
southern representatives. lie is IA
thorough p litician and looks ut men
and things through the politicians
spectacles. But in this ease he will
find himself to be mistaken. The fight
for the speakership involves the
whole question whether the tariff
reform which the Democratic par.
ty has so long been promising
to the country is 10 be real or
a mere sham. 1t Was largely
due to Mr.. Randalls smart admin
istration of the speak ership in the in
terest of the tariff robbers that no
effective steps were taken when last
the Democrats had control of the
house to reduce the burdens fastened
by the Republicans upon the people
to enrich the manufacturers. Mr..
Randall cannot play that game twice.
He will never again be make speaker
by Democratic votes. The majority
in the next house dare not stultify
their party by blunder which would
be crime against the country.

TIE New York Times thinks that
the president has stumbled upon a
presidential candidate in the recently
appointed postmaster general. Min
lister Foster says that the mention of
Judge Gresham's name in connection
with the next presidential campaign
is indiscreet and ill-timed. and that he
knows that it is very distasteful to
that gentleman. He also denies the
report that Judge Gresham is seeking
a circuit judgeship. and says he will
confine his aspirations and his efforts
to a discharge of his duties as post
master general.

How 1t Travels.

Texas Siftings is a power in the
land of Texas. A few weeks ago it
published an article charging that the
penitentiary lessees were bribing
members of the legislature to ratlfy
the lease. On the strength of this
the legislature has ordered an investi-
cation. The investigation is now in
progress, and develops the fact that
members of the legislature have been
in the habit of making daily visits
to the lobby headquarters and there
indulge in cigars, drinks and poker
playing. Two saloon-keepers of Aus
tin testified that the penitentiary les
sees spent not less than $1,000 with
them, treating members during the
session of the legislature.

he reduced one-half. from sixteen to
eight cents per pound, and on all to-
bacco and snuff in unbroken pack
ages, on which the old tax has been
paid, the excess will be refunded by
the government. Congress failed to
make an appropriation for the pur-
pose, but such rebate may be paid in
stamps at the reduced rate" The tax
on cigars and the larger cigarettes, is
reduced to three dollars per thou
sand. The reduction of tax on to-
baeco, snuff and cigars is just enough
to benefit dealers, but not enough to
make any material reduction to con-

PRESIDENT ARTHUR thinks the
Republican party may be built up by
patronage in the southern states. He
was never more mistaken on any sub
ject. What is left of the Republican
party in the south is able to swallow
all the pap that may be dished into it,
but it has grown into decadence and
sterility, and is certainly approaching
its end. The only way for Mr.. Ar
taur to gain friends in the south is
through the bestowal of places on
Democrats. But this he can neither
see nor understand.

Yesterday over $4,000 passed

company en- route from Mexico

who buy up this money at a discount
and use it as bullion to be recoined.
At the per cent at which they are dis
counted in Texas, great speculation
can be made in this way.
