The recent rapid increase in the crime
If rape is something phenomenal. Every
cw days there is Il new development OF
This beastly propensity in some part OF
he State. Nor is it confined to this
state, for we notice in the Geographic
news frequent mention of like occur
rcnces in other States, North and South.
\ peculiar characteristic of the subject
IS in the fact that great majority of the
offenders are negroes, and Il majority OF
The victims, or intended victims, are

Mr.. DIN Wellborn has won National
honors for himself while in Congress,
from the Sixth district Of Texas, and Ii
is gratifying to see the counties compos-
ing the Sixth Congressional district, are
unanimously in-tructing their dele
Sates to the Congressional convention,
or Hon. DIN Wellborn. Not only the
district he represents, but Texas and
the whole country are Interested in
Seeping such men in Congress. AS
fast as they are found such men should
ne assigned to their proper places, and
kept there as long as 1t is wise and ap-
prOpriate to do so.- Cameron Herald.
The Dallas HERALD insults the mem
Dry of Judas Iscariot by comparing the
botrayer of Jesus Christ to James G..
Blaine. Now Judas, it is said, betrayed
Christ for thirty shekels OF silver. But
Blaine betrayed his country, himself
md his people, and had no remorso for
it,, while Judas became so miserable
That he went out and hanged himself
II is not believed that Blaine will follow
suit. Blaine lives to insult the people
whom he has so grossly wronged.-

The Henrietta Shield fairly lifts the
+ )rt Worth Gazette out of its boots, con-
de inning the Gazette and the Henrietta
correspondent in blistering language. All
on account of the Gazette's free-grass
talk concerning the voters of Clay coun-
ty. If the Gazette's correspondents per-
sist in misrepresenting the people OF
different counties, they are going to get
that paper in many close place. Coun-
ties that are solid for the lease law, so
far as Democrats are concerned. do not
like to be continually pubnshed as
free. grass people. They kick, and have
right to kick Honey Grove INDIE

A Western member of Congress who a
few days ago saw Mr.. Tilden, says Mr.
Tilden evinced the hveliest interest in
the political situation and talked freely
of candidates and prospects. He said
that the campaign would be the most
animated of any for the last thirty years.
He had no doubt at all of the election OF
Cleveland by good round majority Of
the electoral collectoral college, and said
Cleveland's majority in New York
would be as large if no. larger than his
own majority in 1876. Cleveland's nom,
nation he considered the wisest that
could have been made, us h. was the
only one of the candidates. whose name
was before the Democratic convention
who was certain of being able to carry
New York.
