The H< uston Age has the following
city and county officials by the grand
jury: ~ Bexar county grand jury has
indicted 'some county and city officials,
the Shei lift we suppose, and the City
Marshal, of San Antonio, for failing to
do their duty in the suppression OF
bawdy houses and gambling rooms in
San Amt onio, and there is not the least
probabfl ity that either Of the indicted
officials will ever be con victed. This, we
think, b. eoause of tho difficulty the Dis
trict At iorney will encounter in making
the proc # necessary to con yict in cases
OF that character. In the fist place, 1t
VIII De necessary to prove tn existence
OF the particular bawdy house or gam
bling room, that the officer ia indicted
Tor not suppressing. Then it will be
necessary to prove that the officer knew
OF the existence Of such place; or that
1t was matter ofsuch general aud pub
lie notoriety that the officer co,7ld not
reasonably have been ignorant of it.
And even then 1t is question whether
Sheriff, or Constable or Marshak, can
enter house ard arrest its occupants,
except upon a warrant issued by a
magistrate, or other officer empowered
to issue such warrants. That point,
however, is one of law, upon which the
lawyers and the courts arc likely to be
correctly informed"

That the tariff question has got TO be
merely local issue with the Democracy
is quite apparent, and will only be con-
sidered in the abstract, and 80 far as Its
discussion will add to the success OF that
party. Principles are about the last
thing genuine Democrat thinks of, and
live issues are ignored with reckless
ness that is simply charming. Repre-
Forney, Of Alabama, developed Demo-
cratic consistency when In speaking OF
the tariff differences in that party, he
said: ave may be little down now,
but tits only temporary. That will pass
away. Ifyour eagle stops little 1t is
only to plume himself for loftier fight.
Here in the House the tariff Is discussed
according to the influence 1t may have
upon the return ofmembers respectively.
But at Chicago everything will be sub
ordinated to the election of President.
That will be the objective point, and
parties, like armies, must have an OBJ
iective point in order to win success.
The tariff and every question there viii
be considered with regard to its effect
upon the whole country, and you will
see that the Democratic party will be
entirely harmonious"

TAR following most sensible paragraph
is from the Ell Paso Times: at is
claimed that the scramble for the Federal
offices, by some of the Republicans in
Texas, ia disturbing the harmony of the
party. The rank and file of the Repub-
lican party in Texas is composed OF men
possessed Of too much sense to be dis
turbed in the least by the acts, doings or
sayings Of aD,y Of the gentlemen who are
now so bitter ly and desperately contend
ing for office. Some men it seems will
do almost an! thing to get Federal ap-
pointment. In our opinion some Of the
gentlemen FRI I'm Texas who are endeavor-
ing to attract attention by setting them
selves up as candidates for office, are
going to get badly left, not only as to
their aspirHi ions for Office, but in the
councils Of he party. Because man Ia
an aspirant for an office II does not fol-
low that he is party leader, or that he
should be n ecognized as such. The best
and ablest Republicans in Texas are not
engaged 10 the shameful scramble for
Office, but they propose to be heard
when the interests of the party are at
stake. and we predict that they will
place thei seal of condemption on these
present would-be office holders and
leaders,"

How Cough Lectures.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Metropolitan hall was fairly filled
last night with an audience to hear
John B. Cough speak upon his plat
form and personal experiences, Mr..
Cough said that he had not Yet over
come nervousness when he came be-
fore an audience, and his knees still
trembled when he first opened his
mouth. 1t was many years since his
first appearance as lecturer. Dur
ing the first eighteen years he had
spoken only on temperance. ard In
this cause had delivered 5.40O lect-
ures, 1,160 of which were III Great
Britain. My early youth, continued
the veteran lecturer, was not like
that of the young men | see before me
tonight. [ had no epjoyments, no
instruction not till | was 20 years
of age did | read any literary prOduc-
ton, ami with the signing of the
pledge there opened a new life for
me. / had a story TO tell; the story
of nv own life, and in the telling OF
it became a lecturer.
Thus without even a rudimentary
education, but through the force OF
his own character, through desire to
spread light. Mr.. Cough took to the
platform. / had many a misgiving,
said be, that my want of education
was thing much to be deplored, but
this feeling was lost when | met Wen
dell Phillips and James q. Blaine
Here Mr.. Cough was interrupted by
loud applause. These men, he con-
tinued, praised me, and, like all great
men, made me forget that l was a
little man.
The most remarkable n an that Mr..
Cough had ever met was Mr.. Spur
geon. and of him he related anecdotes
Illustrative of his generosity and
goodness Of heart.
In conclusion Mr.. Cough reiterat-
ed that he did not desire to pose as a
great thinker or a great speaker, but
rather as a mere stcry-teller; that II
was true he spoke for purpose and
he was pleased to think that his efforts
had met with some success. have

The fact is, boys, | have quit drink

with shouts Of laughter by the jolly
crowd around him; they put the
bottle under his nose and INDUCED in
many jokes at his expense, but he re-
fused to drink and was rather serious
about it. What's the matter with

package in his hand. Tremblingly
he unwrapped it. and handed it to the

condition: My-my wife bought 'en

'em-I want drink. You had bet
ter take the shoes back to your wife,

pawnbroker. No, s-she won't, be

Joke on John.

Mr.. john I. McEnnis, the gifted
correspondent of the St. Louis Post

the CITY last Tuesday. The price OF

when Mr.. McEnnis discovered that

wearing this 81 hat around IN the sun
for several hours Mr.. McEnnis found
that it was growing too small for him
that, under the heat of the noon
tide, the 81 plug was gradually but
surely shrinking, and threatened to
warp entirely out of shape. More
