WHEN II. c. Still learns to keep
still on the greenback question the
daisies will be growing over him.
His late declaration that greenback-

plenty of money and knows how to
use 1t to advantage He was the brain
power of the last presidential cam
paign. He has the bit between his
teeth just now and the men who then
rode behind him are now afraid OF
nm. They fear that with these
friends and his money and political sa-
gacity he will overturn a good many
political calculations at the Chicago
convention. For these reasons Dorsey
has been very much sought recently.
1t is reported that he has struck hands
with John A. Logan, with the idea
that Logan's candidacy opens up the
way to accomplish political revenges.
1t is evident Dorsey is still power in
the Republican party, and no nomina-
ton will be made except through his
consent

The Republicans are lecturing e.
verely about civil service reform, and
at the same time circulars are being
issued to all the office-ho,ders Of the
United States calling fer campaign

and colored. 1t is properly denomi-
mated "indiscriminate massacre and

TEXAS MANUFACTURES.

Referring to the rapid develop
ment Of furniture manufacturing in
the South the Chattanooga Trades
man says:
"The product of our manufactures
is. of course, mostly of the cheaper
grades, though several shops turn out
very handsome chamber sets, and in
some few fine upholstered work Is
made in good style and of very sub
stantial mechanism. The great need
of all Southern furniture makers IS
properly seasoned lumber. Much Of
the cheap material put out is made of
green lumber, which is not advant-
ageous to the trade. We have
an abundance of the hard woods
cherry, ash, oak and walnut-of the
very finest texture. More of this
ought to be worked up at home. At
present nearly all of it is sent North
and tens of thousands of feet Of the
same are brought back by our people
from Boston, Baltimore and Cincinnati
manufacturers in the form of fine
furniture, mantels, front doors, etc.
Our manufacturers should not be too
anxious for immediate returns on
their lumber. We shall aim to be-
come independent of outside supplies
in this department at the earliest prac-
teal date. The firm which has the
capital, courage and skill to manufac-
turs all lines of fine furniture in the
South for Southern householdefs II
liberal quantities will confer a great
and lasting benefit by inaugurating a
movement that will keep thousands
of dollars at home which now goes
into the Eorthern pockets and on the
materials on which we pay two
freights. Not only this but there is
money in such an enterprise
Why is 1t that . company can not
be organized to manufacture furniture
out of Texas timber at Austin9 Here
may be found black walnut, ash, oak
sycamore, cottonwood, and other val
liable furniture timber. There is
profit in furniture manufactured here.
In Texas and to the westward are
wide and growing fields for demand
and supply, and instead of ii nber be-
ing shipped north, to be reshipped
back in manufactured shape, it should
be made up here. Not only should
furniture lie made among lis, but ag-
ricultural implements and wagons
should be built in Texas out of splen-
did natural timbers. What a waste
Of money the people of Texas
do make in refusing, themselves, to
manufacture the natural and artificial
products of the state, which are nu-
merous and abundant.

THE unit rule in political conven-
lions has seen its day. The Republi-
cans will not be controlled by it, and
from present indications it seems i'm
possible to tell who may be the Chica-
40 nominees. As for that matter the
result of the Democratic convention
ia as great an uncertainty.

AN exchange calls attention to the
fact that when farmers are indepen-
dent and growing in wealth, they
have been dependent upon a divers;-
fed system of agriculture, and that
there can be no great diversity of ag-
riculture where there areno manufac-
lures. 1t is understood then that the
most successful systems of agri-
culture and of manufacture de-
pend upon each other, and that
all communities, to attain high
degrees of prosperity should COM
bine the two. Manufacturing
towns furnish consumers for many
products of the soil that are unsuita-
ole and Improbable to send to distant
markets, but which are very profita-
bic crops for the farmer to grow if he
have a nearby market. The census
statistics prove the truth of this state
melt, They show that the average
annual earnings o. farmer in Penn
sylvania are nearly four times more
than those Of the farmer in Texas. If
there were a half million persons at
work in mines and manufactures in
Texas the value of every acre of farm
land would be quadPupled, and our
farmers would grow rich by earning
81 per annum where they now earn
81. This Question of developing mines
and manufactures is really of more
to the farmer than to any
other class in community. But

Slavery was the occasion but not
the cause of the division of the Meth

cause was the extra judicial action Of

conference of 1874, with regard. to
Bishop Andrew, on account of his in
cidental connection with slavery. An
drew never was a STAKEHOLDER al
though he had legal connection with
it. He had violated no law of the
church. The dicipline fully protected
him in his authority, but to carry out
a sectional partisan purpose the ma
jority over-rode the provisions of the
discipline by any arbitrary resolution,
apd virtually deposed him without
charges and without trial. This outrage
upon his personal legal rights. inyolv-
ing, as it did, all the rest of US, the
South resented, and demanded separa-
ton. There will never be organic
union between the churches North and
South. 1t is neither desirable nor

our way alone, having a christian
