In this same connection, since the

Not Judge Hoods. Not those of

of the people of Tarrant

his refusal to 'cRll out the troops to

Upon whose representations did the
governor OF Texas resort to the
methods of radlcalism and put
shame on an entire city and
all its people? The demonstration at
the depot was shame enough. 1t was
not the officers of Tarrant county from
whom the prisoner escaped, but those
selected by the governor; aud there
was no need for the military in Fort
Worth. Had they not been called on
in the first place to execute a legal pro
cess in Tarrant county there would
have been no troube-no shame
no disgrace. Let any city
in this Democratic state of
Texas put itself in the place of Fort
Worth and say il this city is alto
gether responsible for the disgrace put
upon it and upon the whole state
and all its people. We would shirk
no responsibility of our own, but the
laws executives should so execute the
law as to encourage its observance,
and not let the means and the meth
DDS of the execution be provocative of
disregard for 1t and resistance to it.

CIVIL service reform, as understood
by the Republican party, is best ex-
emplified by their practices in the Ohio
election. The real civil service reform
is to stop this everlasting increase in
the employees of the government and
this endless increase of salaries, and
compel the public officers to earn the
salaries already paid them. Dudley
working for the Republican party in
Indiana and Ohio and drawing pay
from the government at the rate of
$4,000 a year is good advertisement of
Republican civil service reform.

THE GAzETTE's market reports show
the receipts of cotton at the principal
ports TO be anything but satisfactory.
Compared with 1883, itself an excep.
tionally bad year, there is a total fall
ing OFF at the twelve principal shipping
points from ,l59,ll7 TO l,l05,s07 bales.
The difference would be more marked,
but for the fact that the crop of this
year was matured earlier than is usual
by the dry. hot weather, and larger
proportion OF the entire crop is now
marketed than at the same season in
1888. This being true, 1t follows that
there is less cotton to be marketed than
at corresponding period last year,
and the receipts henceforward must
decrease largely in comparison with
the receipts of the previous year.
