The Democrats have lost two, prob
ably three, congressman 10 Ohio. The
Democratic legislature OF that state
had Just completed "gerrymander"
OF the congressional districts SO as TO
Insure a d smoeratlc advantage, and at
the first election they lose several dis
trlcls. In 1882 the Republicans had
redistricted the state to suit them
selvos, and in the following election
they lost seven congressman. The les
son this should teach politicians is, be-
ware OF the gerrymander.

A sDnsihla Man.

Compt roller Swain Is doing good in
North Texas. His speeches nre calcu-
lated to add to the Democratlc vote.
Being n gentleman of common sense
he says the lease law Is no test of "a
mans Democracy. The assertion that
one had 10 swallow the lease law as
well as vote the ticket In order to be
Democrat was not calculated to add 10
the vote for the ticket. There has
been sensible and timely revision Of
craftsmanship in this particular, how
ever, and It Is well that the views OF
such men as Mr.. Swain are substituted
for the unienable declarations made 10y
some men and Ger Rlu newspapers. The
Democrats Of Northwest Texas Will do
their duty, and contribute literally to
the assured large m majority OF the par
ty, This contribution on their part
will be greatly enhanced by the sensi-
BILE utterances of sensible men like Mr..
Swain. Northwest Texas Democrats
know that the lease law Is no test OF
Democracy, but many Of them would
have resented at the ballot-box the
claim that they must vote 10 in
dorse tina. law In order To
preserve their party standing. But no
man OF any prominence and no news
paper Of any influence now makes a
claim SO absurd, and Comptroller
Swain will help the ticket by emphA-
sizing throughout West Texas the
sensible declaration made at Denton
Wednesday that the lease law is nc
teat of Democracy. Wash Jones
would be only too glad to have II
made 80.

Revival Of Business.

Reports from the centers Of trade
concur in making it appear that the
business situation Is becoming much
better, and hope is held out that the
present depression will not outlast the
winter. "Flush times" may not inn
mediately follow, and go much the bet
ter for the country but a decided re-
lief from the present strlngency in
business may confidently be expected.
A New York paper has been gather
ing expressions of opinion from lead
ing business men in all branches of
trade, and almost without exception
their statements are marked by con-
fldence and hope. The view isgeneral
that, though the margin OF profits is
smaller and the money valueof sales Is
less, the amount of goods sold this
year Is nearly as great as last year, and
in some cases considerably greater.
Purchases are made in smaller quanti-
ties, but more frequently. Credits are
notably reduced, but payments are
more prompt and sure. Greater eau
ton Is observed AS to overlooking, but
the demand is steady and the move
ment regular and healthy. The eN-
pectation of those most familiar with
the situation Is that the net result Of
the years business, when the usual
annual inventory is taken in January,
will be decidedly more satisfactory
than It has been for the last two years.
There is every reason to regard this
view as correct. The inability TO Dor.
row money on the speculative securi-
ties, with which the stock exchange
is heavily loaded, has produced em-
barrassment, and has intensihed the
trouble arising from overpro luctlon In
other directions. But the general busi-
ness of the country, which consists in
supplying the actual demand for the
necessities aud conveniences of daily
life, has slowly but surely been work
lug out of its depression and embar'
rassment.
Here in Texas we will probably suf
fer from a scarcity OF money, on &C
count of short crops, that will not b'
fully relieved until new and bette
crop shall be marketed. But the lacb
of money is not the greatest evil W,

vest the money that we have. Tn,

October Elections an Evil.


October elections should be abol-
ishsd. They are the cause OF more
rascallty, corruption, anxiety and de-
bauchery than the national elections
which succeed theu. They keep the
states In which they occur In turmoil
and disorder for weeks, to the great
Injury Of business, and intensity the
political feeling Of tho country to a
lighting pitch. The reports OF
the October election IN Ohio fur
Dish the strongest argument
against It's repetition. Hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars were poured In
that state to dtmorallze the sufira-
gans; and the purchase Of votes, the
colonization Of foreigners, the engage
ment Of "repeaters,p hugs and whip
perr-ip, aud all the plots aud mschina-
tions Of crafty managers, were resort.

The law has been declared unconstitu-
tIonal, so far as the states are concerned,
but as being in full force in the Dis
trlct OF Columbia This, even with
out the supreme court declaration Of
unconstitutlonality, would make the
civil rights act a dead letter. When
the government must prove that the
defendant refused rights to colored
persons solely on account Of race prelu-
dice, legal impossibility is asked.

A KINDLY word of advice to our cor
respondent Veritas The object of THE
GAzE1TE's discussion OF the street rail-
way question Is to find the legal right
and justice of the action Of the common
council To this end the columns of
the paper are free to oil. But the ref
erence to individuals Ia not essential to
the investigation. To individualize
the members Of one company is to pro-
yoke the same treatment Of another
corporation from some other correspon-
dent, and thus will be engendered a
war Of personalities that will contrib
ute nothing to the object sought. Per
sonaI warfare is very keen two edged
sword, and Ia improbable to the par.
ties to 1t as well as unlnteresting to the
