The corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
we're unusually active this morning and faces
of well known republican politicians and
workers we're seen in all parts CT the hotel,
the organization being meeting of the re-
publican National committee. 1t was agreed
between the closest friends of Blaine and
Gen. Logan. that chairman should not be
chosen from among those who had been pro.
nounced and radical advocates Of Blaine's
nomination, but that he should be some one
representative of the party generally and es.
pecially . representative of the solid business
and manufacturing elements of the country.
To this end Elkins of New Mexico, Clarksou
of Iowa and Chaffee of Colorado, who had
been been discussed for the Craftsmanship, al
declined TO be considered candidates and urg'
ed the selection of Jones of Pennsylvania
who stands ut the head Of the iron maufactur.
ing interest.
He is one of the most successful business
men of the United States and man who viii
command the cordial confidence of the public
especially of the business interests of the
country. He is 50 or 60 years Of age. 1t j,
understood he will devote his whole time to
the work and will remain At headquarters
here during the compaign.
The National Committee met at Fifth Av

An Appeal 10 Selfshness !.

A citizen of the West must bt
touched with the vein OF exqusit,
frankness which runs through the APP
peal of a lease-law journal TO the voters
OF its county TO indorse the leasing
system because there are no lands TO be
leased In that county. The argument i
plainly put that none OF the evils at
tributed to the lease can possibly
result to them, wkle an ingenious
appeal TO their cupidity is made ON the
basis Of fabulous revenues to accrue to
the school fund by virtue of the lease.
Approaching the natural selflshness OF
the average man, this ingenious sortie
Of desperate cause ia carried TO the
extent OF calculating the decrease in
taxation, which il Is assumed is
TO be brought about, in itself so
unfounded and visionary as TO leave
no doubt of its intention TO deceive,
But amid the willful fallacles of a
deeply prejudiced mind, the writer
has been kind enough to fairly present
the most important phase of the issue
Shall the interests of the West be sac
riiiced that the taxpayers of the East
may save five or even ten cents on
the hundred dollars per annums Grant
all that has been said about the reve-
nues Of the lease-place them at one
million year-and there still re-
mains this problem, in which Is in
volved the weightiest issues that were
ever presented for the considera-
ton of the people of the state.
1t chances that the vast area of
the school lands lie entirely in the
West, and whatever disposition that
is made of them it must be conceded
cannot affect the social condition of
other sections. But the bold and
hardy peasantry of the West may serl-
ously object TO being made conven-
ience of by its neighbors in such a
manner. Neither are its objections to
be ignored rs coming from source
whose political influence is too incon.
siderable to respect, because ii is in that
stage of development where future
greatness is almost merged into pres.
ent growth. However, the issue is
made, and the lease-law adyo.
Gates may make the most
OF 1t. Shall there be I'M
restricted development in the West or
exemption from taxation in the East?
The Houston convention will be
called upon to decide whether the
Democratic party Is party of the
whole state or simply party for East
ern Texas, and in the meantime the
pioneers of the West will put this
problem OF n lease law journal IN their
pipes and smoke It.

AUSTIN, Aug. 4, 1SSf.-No class OF
people are so much benefited bv edu.
cation as the deaf. Naturally they
are shut up to that limited Knowledge

persons with whom thew associate
intimately they have only that linn
lieu communication which comes
tnfouBh The most simple natural
signs. The natural condition of the
ueai Is more deplorable than that of
the BIND, inasmuch as sight is the
sense that connects the mind with the
material world while hearing con-
meets 1t with the spiritual world. This
can be understood by parents and
guardians IN whose households are
children with whom they have tried
10 commune and whose minds thew
nave vainly tried to lead up to correct
spiritual thought. Education intro.
duces the Inind of the deaf into com
munion with the world, raises II to
spiritual thought, elevates IL to
proper conception of God and
Vi mans true nature, and makes
extended communion with even the
parents possible and pleasant. Eduea.
