The Deaf and Dumb Asylum.

The following from Superintendent
of the deaf and dumb asylum
will explain itself:
In your issue OF the q Ii 1t Is stated that
trouble has broken out again In the MANAGE
ment of the deaf and d imb asylum. Further
you state that Mr.. Humphreys, the dis
charged teacher, bears an excellent reputa-
lion, and that no cause was assigned for his
dismissal. MIR. Humphreys asked no eN'
PLANTATION. II he wishes the reasons for MS
dismissal published to the world and Will Sig
Nifty such wlsla TO me- he shall be gratihed TO
his own shame.
No trouble has broken out In The asylum.
Several persons have been discharged In a
quiet way and for good cause. They have
zone out and the only trouble they nave
created was In the newspapers, and among
two or more persons round about Austin who
have set themselves TO do mischief to the IN
s,itution under it's present management. Tue
school is being conducted quietly and sue
cessfuliy. The superintendent is here to
look after the welfare ofthe pupils intrustet

ExpATRIATIoS, permanent or 'en.-
,orarv. Is a novel condition to couple
with executive clemency. Gov Illus,
bard Of MINES ota has just pardoned
claude l.. Van Alst yne, convicted OF
manslaughter, on the condition thal
he reside outside of Minnesota Tor AZ
least two years. 1t is hardly necessa'
rv TO say the condition was accepted
and the ex.convlct has located in Iowa.
There Is an interesting question OF
state comfy involved in this proceed
ing. If Van Alstyne merited pardon
and was fit person to be at large IL
would seem he had right to remain
In Minnesota. The governor OF that
state will certainly search its laws In
vain for authority to force a danger
GUS and disreputable character upon
another community as he has done by
making the novel condition precedent
to pardon. 1t is nowhere provided In
the federal or any state constitution
that one state may make of another Q
Botany Bay for vicious characters
The governor of Iowa would be clearly
Unsuitable in sending Van Alstyns
back TO Gov. Hubbard of Minnesota

The Prohibition Question This Year.

The State Prohibition convention Mt
Paris last week was composed of
highly respectable gentlemen, who, in
their respective communities, are use
full members OF society. 1t would be
strange If there We're not among them
ut least few individuals on the dem
agogue order, who have special axes to
grind, but as rule these advocates Of
prohibition are conceded to be as sim
cere as they are earnest. The pro-
ceedings of the convention were re-
I ported quite fully in The GAZETTE
and other state papers and by this
time should have had general reading
and consideration throughout the
state. From such expressions or evil
dences of public sentiment as have
come to hand 1t does not appear that
the prohibition programme, as enun-
clated by the Paris convention, Is
evoking any special degree Of atten-
tlon or apprehension, US a forcible fac
. tor In the political movements OF this
| year. II was stated, explicitly, that /

.Dinna Ye Hear the Slogan"

Every Democrat in the country
who reads has perused Mr.. Ilidens
latest utterance on political matters,
being his letter read at the banquet
of the Iroquois club, on April 10.
But it appears that that letter Is oe'ng
read between the lines. The Democ-
racy of one state have met in conven-
ton since the Iroquois banquet and in
the resolutions adopted, declared
formal preference for Tilden as the
party nominee this year. Inc state
Is Iowa, and OF the twenty-six dele
gates chosen to go to Chicago each and
every man is solid for Tilden. Only
three states Oregon, West Virginia
and Iowa have, as yet, held Demo-
cratic conventions, but 1t is note
worthy that in each one of these open
and explicit preference was announced
for Tilden, and the delegations to the
national convention stand instructed
to cast their votes for him II IL Is
demonstrated he will accept the nomi-
nation. Is this merely complimentary,
or does it indicate that Democracy, all
over the country, is turning toward
| the man who was elected eight years
ago as the most available man to-day =?
Is ii a kind of sentimentalism, in
, dulged in for political effect? Those
i who, opposed to Tilden's nomination,
advance these theories, of compliment
, or sentimentalism, as explanatory OF
d the action of Oregon, West Virginia
: and Iowa Democrats, will do well to
remember that four years ago such
expressions were not deemed advisable
or necessary. At all events they were
not INDUCED in. Mr.. Tilden had de
clared then, as now, that he was no
a candidate and the Democracy tool
d. him at his word. All the signs poin

ly vigorous and pronounced sentimen

From all sections of the state we

Hon. IL A. Patton, for

North Texas that he has supporters

His records upon the questions ofstate
policy now at issue have been made
and are on file in the published pro-

So general has been the discussion Of
his name In this connection that his

The ConYen ION and Fort Worth.

The Republican convention has adj |
journed. Its work as political body t
has been repor ed as fully and fairly
in these columns rs IL was possible to I
do so. We now desire to refer to its
influence on Fort Worth. For four s
days every paper in the Union has
advertised this city as the place of
meeting of the Republican party of
Texas. Men who had never heard of
this place now know it as city of
sufficient pretensions to entertain the
convention of great party. Those
who had heard of it and supposed
"the Fortn to be the home of a United
States garrison or mere village are
now disabnsed of any such idea. This
advertisement, especially near home,
will be perpetuated by frequent allu-
sions to "the + 1T Worth convention
Not only has this city been thus
+ advertised to the world, but we trust
{ that the treatment of the delegates
a has been such Is to make each of them
5 q friend to our city and Its people.
: Certainly it was the intention and the
: endeavor of FoIt Worth to do all In it
power to properly entertain the visitors
who assembled here. If there has
= been failure in this respect THE
-" GAZETTE has not heard of 1T; If there
has been any exception to the rule
The GAZETTE would regret to hear o
. 1t. Knowing the wish and the etlor
~ of its people, ard speaking for them
y The GAZETTE is pleased to believe
" that every member of the Republican
convention appreciates the earnestnes
lie with which Fort Worth endeavored
,ol make all feel at home and in tn
at years to come, when the Queen Cit
, a shall be better provided with facilitit
m of all kinds and invite the Republican
nd of Texas again to come, we trust the
nd treatment now has been such as wi
ed induce them to lend a gracious ear
ms our second invitation. To the mef
.ng beers of the convention, each and evel
one, THE GAZETTE wishes 50
return home and every good, 81

Mr.. PattOn's Candidacy.

To the Gazette.
The announcement of Hon. /. A.
Patton for commissioner of the general
land office was received with great
deal of rejoicing in this section; indeed
some are quite jubilant, as they are
sanguine of his nomination, the
chances being greatly in his favor
with only Mr.. Walsh in the field.
As well remarked by your Alvarado
reporter, rotation in Office is Demo-
cratic, and If there is going to be any
rotation in this Office it is time the
movement was begun. If not now,
then when? How long are We to re-
tain man in office-indefinitely, or
so long as he can trump up
something upon which he desires
an Endorsement If this be accepted,
then why not apply this rule to the
Office of governor and every other in
the government?
! That Mr.. Patton is worthy and wei
qualified is o question not 6ebatable
The unanimous Endorsement he he
: received at home shows he ha
q the confidence and esteem
, of those who know him best, and pre-
: sents one Of the strongest argument
to the public of his worthiness AM
e competency. AS civilian his life
e above reproach, and as ii public servap
). the sound Judgment and wisdom dis
played during the session of the legis
o lature in handling all momentous an
lie vital questions placed him in the iron
u rank as statesman and safe col
70 servator of the interests of the people.
The strong Endorsement given I
II Mr.. Patton prior to his announcem n
IN is certainly encouraging to his SUI
" porters, and the vigorous and untirin
I; manner in which they will push b
u candidacy will show the contiden,
they have in his success AT the SAN
time, they will observe that magn
ninity which should be extended |
