Yesterday the STATESMAN publish
ed a despatch from Washington de-
failing the particulars of an interview
between a California delegation of
democrats and the sage of Gramercy
Park. We are always glad to publish
anything which does honor to this
grand old American gentleman-this
grand old American statesman. Mr..
Cassidy, in the interview mentioned.
gathered the impression that Mr.. Til
den is in the present race for nomina-
ton at Chicago, although he dis
tinctly avows that he is not. Mr.. C.
has read the purposes of the sage
badly, and we haven't a particle of a
doubt but that he has as widely mis-
taken his wishes. Mr.. Tnden has
grown old in the active service of the
party and the nation. In the prime
of his manhood as well as in the mel
low ripening afternoon. the part he
has played was a good one. He di-
rected events and energies sublime in
their significance as in their power.
They were always directed against
wrong doing and in favor of right.

creditable to the democratic party that
there are so many men within its lines
who would gladly throw down every
other man, hang up for the nonce and
every other ambition, per-
iuit or purpose and work day and !
light until November to see Samuel
+. Tilden in the presidential
hair. 1t is, we say, creditable

ing for others, except in the immediate
certainty of reaping full and COM
plete reward.
The democratic party was ever the
party of the people,-the government
of the many by the many. Therepub-
lican party is and has ever been the
party of the bosses, the proprietors,
the monopolists. The people have
had little connection with it of late
years, other than to walk up and do
the voting necessary, and under the
direction and close surveillance of
the managers. This state of things
sprang out of the almost absolute
power that party has welded for so
long. In Texas we have on smaller
scale the self-same conditions prevail
ing only the exact reverse exists.
The democracy of Texas has for the
last eleven years enjoyed unhounded,
uDquestioned and unlimited power.
Some men have been adroit enough to
get in the lead and work the organiza-
ton for their own selfish ends and pur-
poses. That is all right so far as these
purposes happen to jump with the best
interests OF the state, but when they
cross that interest or balk the senti-
ments of the people it should
be considered as all wrong

Trouble at Hampstead.

The above headline could be kept
standing forever, and be made useful
nearly every week in the year. There
has never been anything but trouble
at Hampstead. 1t is either a bad
place intrinsically or it is a very I'M
fortunate place. Waller county and
its capital have been the scene of more
capital crimes within the last fifteen
years than any other place of equal
territorial extent or population in the
United States. The cruelest and most
unproVoked murders are continually
committed. These are apparently for
the most insignificant and trivial
causes. Fueds are numerous and
deadly between the people and almost
monthly some bloody libation is
poured out up the affairs of
hate and vengeance. Even thenegroes
have deterlorated to such an extent
that they, too, have gone into the
bloody business-have grown desper-
ate and have taken the pistol. Terror
a I'd lawlessness rule the hour, and the
civil administration of the county, as
well as of the municipality, seems ut
terly inadequate to the task of either
restoring order or Of maintaining it
when existing. The officers of the law
are either afraid to enforce it, or they
are in sympathy on one side or the 9TH
er, and thus are hand-tied and
tongue tied where the mob of
the bloody-minded is concerned
The most bloody and atrocious
murders are habitually committed,
and there has been, as yet, no hemp
stretched worth speaking of.
Hemp is badly needed at Hampstead,
and it must be used literally instead
of the pistol. Of course we repudi-
ate any suggestion as to race trou-
bles of any kind. The disorders arise
between bad men. Sometimes thtse
belong to one race and at other times
to the other, and more rarely still to
both, and it sometimes happens that
the color line divides the bloody CO.
horts as in this latest and worst affair.
But it is more the accident of the pas
sions of the hour than the deliberate
purpose of war by the whites upon
the blacks, or by the blacks upon the |
whites. These later mutterings and |

negro Taylor, have been on for a

Poor Grant, he seems to be des-
tined to go through life as a victim.
First he was victim of his taste for
strong drink, then of the army con-
tractors, then Of designing and selfish
politicians, later of whiskey thieves,
and now still later, of the ruthless
spectators on Wall street. There is
nothing like death to yank one from
the bosom of difficulties such as these,
only Grant, like others of his fellows,
will keep off taking the remedy just
as long as he possibly can, with safety.
