TeJcUS contention.
FoRT WORTH, Tex, April 29.-The result
of the first days proceedings of the Repub-
lcan state convention shows, that victory
perches on the banner of the Office holding
Republicans. The tail is wagging the dog,
and has the dog so well in command that
he does not openly growl. The convention
was called to order at noon by Judge Binkley,
chairman of the executive committee.
After an address of welcome by Mayor Smith,
. and the adoption of various resolutions, the
nominations for temporary chairman was in
order, and thereupon according to the pro-
gramme, the ''ins'' put both Judge Pesco Of
Sherman, and Col. Degrees in nomination
for temporary chairman, but Judge Pasco
was withdrawn before ballot was taken,
precipitating the contest directly between
Webb Flanagan and the ex-lieutenant gov
ernor, who was the leader Of the opposition
and who was nominated by it. There is no
doubt but that the delegates on the floor of
the convention are against the office-holders,
but the proxies were wha' defeated Flanagan
for temporary chairman. The name of
James G. Blaine, uttered in the speech of
Webb Flanagan, was greeted
by the widest enthusiasm
and excitement. Hats were thrown into the
air and the delegates yelled themselves
hoarse.
The Hon. Powell Clayton, ex-governor of
Arkansas, made a fiery, bloody speech, in
which he evaded the tariff issue, except in
cidentally to notice it. 1t is safe to say that
while the contest has been between the ''ins'
and "outs' the ms are not jealous supporters
of Arthur. They are simply for
the offices, and the man who will
receive the nomination. The feeling
in the convention demonstrates that
Arthur has no hold upon the people, and his
name scarcely excites ripple in the conven-
ton. The delegates will go uninstructed and
ready to vote for the winning man at Chi
cage, be it Logan, Blaine, Edmunds, Arthur
or any other man. They are after the loaves
and fishes and will vote for the man who will
be able to deal them out. The
prevailing sentiment among the dele
gates is, for straight republican
ticket, but the question will be decided by
the executive committe. 1t is generally
understood, that if state ticket is put in the
field, Judge C. G. Binkley, of Sherman, will
be the candidate for governor. Ochiltree
has many friends in the city, but he is not
mentioned as prospective candidate at
large. The convention adjourned until to-
morrow without transacting any further
business Of Importance.

in the habit of seeing on moonlight nights a
huge reptile, eighteen or twenty feet long,
as thick as mans body, and moving over
the ground with its head two feet in the air,
1t was first seen thirty years ago by the faith
ers Of the present generation of husband
ment. Marvellous stories were told by them
concerning it, and although many wise old
gentlemen who arose with the sun and went
to bed with the setting thereof shook their
heads in provokingly incredulous way, the
belief in the existence of the monster, con-
tinued to spread over the country. The ex-
perience of their descendants now presents
itself to vindicate the veracity of their sires.
A gay party saw it skipping along by the light
of the moon the other evening and are now
lying around its supposed hiding place with
shotguns and whisky TASKS, preparing for its
capture. They may succeed in seeing not
one but one hundred of the monsters II they
persevere in their vigil.

Il Specimen of Sublime Cheez.

The story of the bog who took the broken
wheelbarrow home and asked that it be mend
ed, as his father wanted to borrow it again,
is generally supposed to be fiction, invented
to impress upon dull intellects the sublime i'm
pudence of some people who borrow. But as
truth is stranger than fiction here we have
an instance of it that goes the wheelbarrow
story several points better. A Chicago man,
Mcfarland by name, having little job Of
painting, as many people have at this season
of the year, borrowed step-ladder from his
neighbor, James Burns. While he was using
it the step-ladder gave way and Mcfarland
fell, breaking one of his ribs. Instead of be-
ing grateful for the loan of the ladder he
brings suit against Burns, charging him
with causing the accident by lending an I'M
trustworthy article, and placing the damage
done to his rib at 50, 500.

Bancroft the Historian and Corcoran the


Occasionally we find in America vigorous
old men who continue to be up and doing,
and obstinately refuse to lag superfuous.
Two such men live in Washington. They
are George Bancroft, the historian, and w.
W. Corcoran, the banker. Few men ever
carried the sorrows OF SIS winters on their
heads as cheerily and briskly as Mr.. Bancroft
The old gentleman not only continues his
literary work, but looks after his gardening,
rides on horseback every day and goes into
society. He Is the only private citizen in
Washington who enjoys the privilege of the
floor of the senate, and he is the only gentle
man President Arthur will accept dinner
invitation from, outside of the official circle
of cabinet officers, foreign ministers and SEN
ators Mr. Corcoran is equally wonderful, He
is Sc and is hale and handsome, managing
his estate of dozen millions with perfect
ease, and still finding time to devote to the
noble charities which he has so literally sup
ported for many years. These two old men
enjoy mental and physical health and the
possession of all their faculties because they
have lived lives Of simplicity, virtue and in
dustry. The lives Of such men teach US
many useful lessons.

According to the April returns Of the de-
partment OF agriculture, the winter wheat area
is about 81, 600, 900 acres-a territory seven
eighths as large as England. OF the crop of
1888 between five and six per cent were
plowed up, leaving 90, 900 acres to be
harvested. The present area is greater than
that of the census year by more than 2,000,-
900 acres. The increase is about 1900, 900
acres on the Pacific coast and 100000 acres
in the southern states. There is a small de-
crease in middle states and Ohio basin. The
condition averages 90. In April, 1888, the
average was so, and So in April, 1881. The
April average of the large crop of 1882 was
104. New York's averageis 81. The states
above average are Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Texas, Kansas, California and Ore
gon. No serious winter killing is reported,
except in Alabama. The area of rye is near
ly the same as last year, the average being 80
per cent. Condition average, 81 per cent.
The prospects as regards price are not en-
couraglng. With the worlds market full,
and the large stock still in the elevators, the
figures for the next crop can scarcely be ex-
pected to equal the present rate, and will
probably fall considerably below it
