INDICATIONS point to Gen. Sher-
man as the deepest schemer for the

tons farewell is a pointer, also his
taking up his permanent residence in
st. Louis, central point from which
to work up boom in the West, and
obliterate the idea that he is an Ohio

THE Brennan Banner says that
the Longview Democrat, referring
to the gambling problem, says: 1t
would be better to license all the
games and have them run squarely,"
the state to derive a revenue, than to
allow some species of gambling and
try to suppress others. The sentiment
of the press is gradually under
going change in this particular.
The STATESMAN has advocated
plan of license. Everybody knows
that gambling houses are open In
Austin all the time, and they are open
in all other cities and towns and COM
munities; yet the last grand jury
failed to find evidence for indictments.
The grand jury, before. procured
a sum of evidence that led to many
convictions, and the result was that
thegamblers fortified. Every gambler,
before he can run a game, ought to
be required TO pay heavy license; OF
a better plan, if possible, would be tC
tax every person entering the door OF
a gambling house, the tax to be re
peated as often as one enters; and al
gambling houses not placing them
selves open to public Inspector
should be broken up, the property
confscated and the proprietors made
amenable for misdemeanors. 1t i;
best to adopt some plan, by which the
people will derive some benefit from
the evil of gambling, than to let it &C
on without suppression, paying moth
ing but harming communities.

THE people OF. Europe are in no sat
isfied condition, and there are as many,
if not more, popular wants than there
are nations and states. In England
home rule is the demand, in Germany
freedom from military duty and re-
ligious liberty, in Russia exemption
from untold oppression, and in Spain
and France there are several conflict
ing political parties, each with its own
special tenets. Belgium, however, is
distracted by no internal discussions
and no partisan strife, yet, If we be-
heve the United States consul's re-
port, there is universal want
in that kingdom which can only be
filed by the wholesale introduction of
American patent medicines among
the Belgians.

THE New York Times, says the
Avalanche, is mistaken in sup
posing there is any chance for
building up a Republican party in the
South by purifying the federal ser
vice. 1t will make no difference
whether the federal officials are good
or bad. So long as the black vote is
solid for the Republican party there
will be solid vote in opposition. In
those states with large masses of
black voters, the government of the
country is of far more Importance in
the intelligent white mind than the
federal government. AS parties are
organized there can be no strong Re
publican party in the South. The
/ Times is correct in its ass ertion that a
Republican party cannot be built up
in the South by Mahoneism, and it
may safely go further and say that it
cannot be done by any other ism.

THE veterans of the Confederate
army of Northern Virginia commem-
grated the battle of fredericksburg
in Richmond. the address being deliy-
cred by Gen. A. M. Scales, of North
Carolina. In closing he said: g.
Let "Dixie" and yankee Doodle"
live side by side. They had their
origin in the aspirations of liberty.
We will cherish them both. Let
Manassas, Fredericksburg and Chan
cellorsville, Kings Mountain and
Y yorktown live in our memories to-
gether, never to be forgotten. We
were unsuccessful. That proves
nothing as to the right. The princi-
pie is unchanged. Impartial history
will vindicate us, and to that tribunal
we commit the lost cause. There need
be no conflict in all this with our duty
to the Union. It is the duty of every
citizen to preserve it in peace and de-
fend it in war, and none will respond
to that duty with more alacrity than
the battle-scarred veterans that fol
lowed Lee and jackson and their de-
scendants."

of soldiery, for it is notorious that the
young generation of Utah is growing
intolerant of the old bigotry, and that
plurality" in wives is distinctly in
disfavor among the majority. In a
very few years the last of the old pio-
neers-the men who made SO much
history in their day-will be gone to
JOIN their murdered prophet in ano-
ther world, and, relieved from the in
fluence of their presence, their success
sors will show themselves more in
sympathy with the sentiments OF
their times, and polygamy will be-
come extinct. 1t has been
said that expensive millinery
is the most formidable adversary that
polygamy has yet encountered, and
that nothing deters a husband from
taking second wife So surely as the
fOreknOwledge of another dreSS-mak-
er's bill. President Arthur, therefore,
would do well to shelve Gov. Murray'S
advice as to the soldiers altogether,
and to import into Utah instead, for
the eXtirpation of polygamy, the army
of French milliners whom the sultan
of Turkey has just banished from
Constantinople. The Turk, with his
extensive households, has found robes
de Paris more than his purse could
bear. and 1t is quite within the posi-
bilities that the Mormon might make
the same experiment. The former
had the choice between giving up his
wives and making them give up fash
ionable dressing, and, with character
istic self-denial, chose the latter; but
the Mormons would have no such ep-
ton, and polygamY therefore would
have to go before the milliner.

EDWARD ATKINSON has been figur-
ing the cost of bakers bread and home
made bread. He shows the cost of a
loaf of bread made in the east from
-four made in the west, and about the
same calculation may be applied to
the south. According to these figures
100 barrels of flour delivered in Bos-
ton costs $682.20, and the baker adds
5000 worth of labor and $500 worth
yeast, ETC., and makes 10000 loaves of
bread, which he sells at cents apiece,
giving him an aggregate return of
$210O. or a clear profit of S1017.80, on
an Investment of $108220. OF cents
loaves more are made, and the profit
is about the same.

JAMES G. BLAINE, according to
Washington dispatches, is now being
discussed by Republicans at Washing
ton as feasible presidential candi-
date upon a platform including the
plank "a solid North against a solid
South" The Republican party has
won on this issue, but the day is now
passed for it to do so. 1t is known
the people of the South are as loyal to
the Union to-day as those of the
North. THE STATESMAN ventures
the assertion that more Southern
Democrats, in proportion to their
numbers, would volunteer for her de-
fence. in case the Union were now
assailed, than Northern Republicans.
The war has been over nearly twenty
years, and we are now laboring for
pure and honest government and for
the consequent grandeur of these

on the 9Th inst, between Mr.. Deg
heest, of the Mexican National Bank,
and M. Olivier, French merchant, in
which the latter was killed and the

the weapons used. The trouble was
caused by dispute over seats at the

SOME authorities insist that Senator
Riddleberger, of Virginia, has great
deal of political sense, while others are
just as sure that he has very little.
The question will be in process of de-
termination on and after December 3,
when the new senator will take his
seat in congress for the first time.
While Virginia Democrats, of course,
would prefer to see another in his
place, yet be has the opportunity of so
conducting himself as to earn a far
different and much better reputation
than that which Malone is forced to
bear, and may in time be acceptable
to his people. There seems to be GER
tainly as much inducement for him to
get on the right side as the wrong
side, and it is surely as easy.

THE Unired States supreme court has
decided thu congress has the right to
regulate sa iries of officials by means
of appropl lations in appropriation
bills, Notwithstanding the existence
of a statute fixing their compensation.
This opinion is in direct a1tagonism
to the opinion of our state supreme
court. 1t will be remembered. the
law having fixed the salary of the
adjutant general, that the legislature
appropriated less money to pay Adju-
tant General Steele. He was granted
permission tosue the state, and the case
ended IN the court deciding that the
legislature simply by declaration in
an appropriation bill could not change
the salary of state official, fixed by
law. Under this decision Gen. Steele
recovered the difference between the
amount appropriated for his salary
and the amount of salary fixed by
statute.

A CELEBRATED German professor,
Gherke, has put forward new origin
of the human race, that may De de-
nominated scientific stuff. He says
the aboriginal Americans and the
people of the north of Europe are de-
scended from bears. Towards the end
of the glacial season these bears
fioated south on icebergs. Gradually
they shed their furry coat, and in or
der to keep one pair of feet dry they
walked on their hind legs. After the
lapse of innumerable years these
bears, undergoing the process of mod
itication, ultimately were developed in
the form of man.

THE Gainesville Advance, eminating
from section where there has been
good deal of trouble between fence
cutters, has this to say in regard to a
settlement of difficulties:
That the drouth was partly the in
citing cause for the fence cutting is
not doubted, but we believe that in a
majority of cases there has been no
possible justification for the criminals.
1t will be the duty of the extra session
to provide protection for those who,
in good faith, have come here and in
vested their money, and this can only
be done by making the crime of fence
cutting coincident with other cases of
theft, vandalism and robbery. 1t
will also devolve on the extra seS-
sion to prohibit the public domain
from being encroached upon, as
such encouragements tend to injure
the smaller stock owners and farmers.
Nothing short of arbitrary laws will
serve to stop this trouble, now that it
has gained such foothold. 1t will
be the duty of the special session to
decide whether Texas is country OF
free people, or land where vandals
and vampires are allowed to destroy
the property of others at will. 1t is
time to have this question forever
settled, and while there may be some
knotty points in it, the crime should
be cut off like any other cancer on the
body polite. On the record the spec
ial session makes regarding this sub.
ject depends, in great measure, the
future well-being and prosperity Of
Texas.
This question is, beyond doubt, tn,
most important one coming before tn,
legislature. 1t involves not only lif
and property, but upon its proper SO
luton depends the increasing pros
perity of Texas. The building Of rail
ways and the consequent settling u
and giving of value to waste place
has led to an increase in tax value
for the year ending January
1888, of S125 100000. These fenc
troubles have, to a certain extent
stopped the sale of lands, and the,
operateIagainst immigration. Unles

TIE Hartford Times is not satisfied
about the Connecticut election. In
that city the total vote was $500, and
the Republican majority, which av-
eraged about $50, it is alleged was OBJ
tanned by the free use of money. The
corruption fund was over 5000, and
was put where it did the most good
by the most active and systematic
workers. In some parts of the North,
suggests contemporary, it would be
better to just put the offices up to the
highest bidder at once, and save the
demoralizing influence of wholesale
bribery on the masses.
