DRY OF the partial democratic victories
two years since will exert powerful
effect for the national democratic
ticket. and it is not at all unlikely
that both these states will throw their
electoral votes for the democratic
nominees. The west has always stood
by the republican party on the ground
of its supposed services in freeing the
negro. Now that the issue is gone
the party has had reward enough
and on the score OF their own interests
alone, if for no other cause they will
wheel into the line on the democratic
side. We are on the eve of a great
revolution in political sentiment IN
this.country, and vigilance, intelligence
and devotion will win for democracy
the permanent control of the forces Of

Tried on a Train

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
One of the most novel trials on
record took place on a passenger train
on the Memphis and Little Rock rail
road, between Louoke and Little
Rock. Judge F. Z. Vaughan, of the
circuit court was on the train. After
it left Lonoke county, a man named
G. b. Farmer, of that county, was ar
rested by deputy sheriff. The charge
against the prisoner was for carrying
slungshot. The law in Arkansas
against carrying deadly weapons is
rigidly enforced. When the prisoner
learned that Judge Vaughn was on
the train he went to him and begged
for an immediate trial. He said that
his wife was sick. and he did net
want to be taken away from her.
The learned judge is character in
his way, and said he would try him at
once. He declared the court open for
business and called Farmer to the wit
ness box-that Is, to seat in the car
and asked him whether he desired
to plead guilty or not. The passen-
gers collected around this novel court
and watched the proceedings from
various perches On seat rails and from
the aisle. Farmer replied: "Your
honor, desire to PLEAD guilty"
"All right" continued the Judge:
"the prisoner pleads guilty. l assess
his fine at $40. MI. Sheriff, take the
prisoner"
This ended the brief trial. and the
prisoner paid his $40 to the sheriff.
at the next station he got off tn
train to make his way home as quickly
as possible to his sick wife. This is the
only case of justice on the wing of
which there is any record.

Thick and Thin Devotion.

If any one is curious to know just
how far this thick and thin business
will carry paper, we beg him to read
the following excerpt from the Hous.
ton Post, which for downright bill
lings gate, low instincts, coarseness of
expression and general brutishness,
We viii place alongside of any para
graph in the English language, either
ancient or modern
The BLACKBOARD sheet of Austin
says that it is not afraid of threats of
personal or other consequences" No
danger; there isn't a man in Texas
who would go out of his way to pay
attention to anything, good or bad,
that emanates from such a God-for-
saken, miserable source.
1t must not be forgotten that this
same Post claims pre-emInence in the
journalism of Texas, both as to its pu-
rity of democratic politics and morals.
Now there are enough intelligent,
good people in Texas who, in
the presence of such expressions
as the above. would never
have any difficulty in arriving at the
conclusion that such sentiments
couched in language so coarse,
so brutal, could never come
from head. heart or paper laying the
least claim to either decency or manli-
ness. 1t is simply and only the slavish
devotion of an organ which must
grind to suit tho master. and in this
instance it is like master, like man."

rhe Business Outlook.

In the hurry and absorption NATURE
and proper to a political campaign
such as the one now being waged, let
us not forget the aspects OF the business
situation. The uneasy and unsettled
condition of finance which has now
continued for nearly two years, seems
based upon the popular representation
that we are to have panic, or at least
vast disturbance in finance every
ten years. So deeply has this idea
been imbe6ed in the public mind
that without other cause than
the simple apprehension it be-
gets we are precipltated
upon the very verge of a ruinous, nay.
fatal panic. In the early part of
the season we came within an ace of
being within the vortex. Failure
after failure crowded upon the heels
of each other. Colossal houses went
down almost without warning, ana
deep distress stalked abroad at noon
day, when, If other wise, and this bae "
based apprehension had not been felt,
there would have been nothing of the
kind. At present there is a better
feeling prevailing. The most cautious
and conservative, as well as the clear
est and coolest financiers, regard the
worst passed. Reviying confidence is
fast exertIng a favorable Influence
upon trade everywhere. The enforc-
ed economy which it was necessary
to practice for few months. while
it is notifying to the pride for the
moment, will prove wholesome and
salutary in the end.
In Texas the situation is by nc
means dark or even gloomy. We have
made a first-rate crop of all the cereals
grown. Our wool clip has been good,
our stock trade great and very profit
able. We are short only on cotton
and of that staple there will be fully
a half crop made. just why there
should be distress or trouble
here, we cannot see. But on
the other hand we see every
reason for renewed confidence in
the future and a profitable years bust
ness all round. Our people are not il
debt, and they can live as economical
ly as any people on earth. These are
advantages with which we would
dare TO face far greater calamitie.
than any now threatened or likely tt
come in the future.
In the light of all this the prasen
policy of withdrawing deposits ant
refusing to lend money is most un
wise, and it is also very mischeviou'
n its effects and tendencies. w,
trust our people will take wiser ant
broader view of things and permi
business to resume its wonted ever
flow
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-08-07
Vigilance.

The democratic national committee
enters upon the campaign with energy
and a determination to win if that
may be done by fair and honorable
means. There are several states in
which the result is to be close and
there the committee have determined
to work with assiduity and determi-
nation. West Virginia, Florida and
Louisiana will be to watch. The re-
suit is only doubtful in each of those
upon the supposition that the
republicans will exercise common
political acumen in working where
there is hope of results. The
committee should see to it
that the local committees in each
of these states receive the amount and
character of assistance required to
carry them for the democratic ticket
safely. But the main effort will be an
aggressive one. In addition to New
York, which may be set down as abso-
lutely certain, effort twill be directed
to Connecticut, with nearly a dead
certainty that she will return to her
democratic colors in November. Mas
sachusetts is also one of the doubtful
states which may become trophy to
the renewed democracy because of the
want of fealty felt by so many of
her leading republicans toward
the ticket headed by Blaine. They
cannot stand the plumed knight
and his morals. They like the plat
form and they like Cleveland. The
national committee acts wisely in
making determined effort to secure
the old bay state because everything
points to an even break i'm the race,
with little more than an even chance
to succeed. Ohio is also among the
doubtfuls, with chances just little
in favor of the democracy now and
growing better as the days go by.
Indiana is considered measurably GER
tain for the democratic ticket, but eff
fort will be used to make assurance
doubly sure. Some of the best speak
ers in the party are already engaged
and will make thorough canvas of
every voting precinct in hoozierdom.
Michigan also will receive the closest
attention from the committee, and if
the opposition to republicanlsm can be
fused in any shape they will be over
thrown there. Wisconsin WILDE taken
care of by the brave Villas, who, with
Bragg constitute about as strong as
able, alert as earnest. Iowa may be
