"TnE vote for Governor in this State
in 1882" says the Waco Day, sis mighty
interesting reading just at present, when
the two parties are on the eve of putting
up candidates for the next election. 1t
was as follows: Ireland, l50,S09; Jones,
l02,5Ol; Robertson, 1874, Governor Ire
lands majority being about $4,000.
Walsh, for Commissioner, received w.
800 votes, or 1900 more than Ireland,
and the average majority for the six
State officers was about 6S.000, or 10000
more than Governor Ireland received.
In second contest between the same
candidates for Governor change of
25,O00 in Wash Jones' favor would give
him the election. 1t is for the Democ-
racy to decide whether such n result is
likely to happen-whether the active
opposition to Governor Ireland inside
his own party and the many grave ques-
tions which have arisen during the past
two years may weaken Governor Ireland
and strengthen Wash Jones to such an
extent as even to jeopardize the election
Of the Democratic candidate. Isit bare
ly possible that those who eat crow
when the nomination Is made at Houston
may feast on turkey when the ballots
are counted In November?"

and says; "Galveston can never forgive
San Antonio for mauling her base ball
club No, never, or hardly ever When
San Antonio laid out our base ball club
she put the finishing stroke on Calves
toms misery. What matters II that
copious rains give promise of an abund-
ant cotton crop, when our favored pets
get licked in country villuge?" II the
Island City mourns so deeply over lit
tie base ball scoop, what will she do
when San Antonio gets away with much
of her trade through the medium Of the
Gulf road. Troubles, 1t is said, never
come singly, and since our road has
really assumed n tangible form and or
ganization, with charter and all com
plete, II will be far more serious mat
ter to Galveston than 1t looks now, TO
which little side issue like n base ball
defeat, will not be a drop in the sea.

lists cannot increase the value Of their
property by simply asking high price

that converts sleepy villages into busy

grown too old to keep up with the pro-
cession that marches to the music OF

The Express is Internationally most
amusing paper. but 1t is always at Its
own expense. 1t Is now making itself
ridiculous on the ground that the Ma
tional Democratic platform INDICATED
Colonel Epson and the Express-the
only political factors In the world-in
their own estimation. This pretenslon
has no foundation in fact. The tariff
plank is verbose, ambiguous and con-
fused in its verbiage, but person with
half an eye can see that II is for "a tar
1T fer revenue purposes exclusively"
That Is In effect the repetition of the
platform Of 1876 and 1880. The Express
OF Wednesday mounted its high horse,
bare-backed, and pranced around In
most ludicrous manner, asserting that 1t
was the only consistent and wise news
paper in Texas, and that being in mi
nority had no terrors for It, That all
sounds extremely nice; should Colonel
Epson. however, take pinch of snuff
the Express would be bound to sneeze,
on schedule time. 1t Is about time for
the Express to descend from its high
horse, throw away its stills, and lay
aside its preteDsions, and deport itself
according to its intrinsic ability.

A CARD from Mr.. NJ. u. Herring, In
the Waco Day, defends Governor Ire
land from the charge that he is negli-
gent In securing the arrest Of Tom Var
nell. who murdered Jonas Land In Hill
county, and who now visits his old
haunts apparently freely and without
fear Of the officers. The Governor, at
first, he says, ofr"red a reward OF $3.50,
which was subsequently Withdrawn and
another OF $500 made and confded to
few special detectives. This, Of course,
is all right so far as II goes, and Is no
doubt satisfactory to Governor Ireland
and his friends, but the fact remains all
the same that Varnell comes and goes
unmolested In open defiance OF all the
rules Of justice, and the officers Of the
law, which in itself is n disgrace of the
worst Kind, not only to Hill county but
TO the State at large.

"A PROMINENT Democrat of Massa-
chusetts," says the New York Tribune,
remarks that this year there will be
detection from the Democratic party Of
large amount of working people, es-
pecially in the manufacturing cities
such as Lowell and Lawrence. As the
signs Of this great change appear in one
State after another the Democratic Or
gans strive In each instance to find
some local and temporary explanation.
Here they say lit is feeling about the
Five Cent bill, which win soon die OUT
There 1t is only the talk OF few dyna-
mters.' In New Jersey it is n gross
Misunderstanding Of the Democratic po-
sition on the tariff In Indiana II is
merely the outcropping of temporary
irritation because Western candidate
was not nominated In far of Louisi-
ana 1t Is only n little soreness about the
sugar duty and in Ohio there is some
trouble about the wool DUTY These
explanations are not broad enough TO
cover the facts. The tariff is now pro-
ducing just that indignant uprising of
laboring men against the Democratic
party which the Tribune predicted as
an Inevitable result Of the agitation of
that question Mt the last session Of
Congress-

BY at hority of tho Secretary Of State
we pu blish in this issue land for three
consecutive weeks hereafter) the pro-
posed amendments to the State consti-
tuition. They will be found on our
eighth page. The proposed amend
ments are: Tristan amendment
concerning the judicial department
providing for the csta blishment of a
court of appeals at Kaneas City to en-
brace territory composed of So coun-
ties and extending jurisdiction of the
st. Louis court of appeals over ST coun.
ties In addition to the four counties and
the city Of st. Louis now composing
the district, and providing also for the
appointment, election and pay of judg-
es of said courts, etc. NconCl-An
amendment concerning revenue and
taxation authorizing county courts to
levy for road and bridge purposes an
additional tax not exceeding Is cents
on each each 500 of valuation in addi-
ton to the tax for city and county pur-
poses now authorized by the constitu-
ton, and authorizing the city of ST..
Louis to levy for street purposes an adj
ditional tax not exceeding Is cents on
the 500 valuation, etc. Accompany
ing the amendments are the acts direct
ing how such amendments shall be
published and how the vote thereon
shall be taken.

Before the next issue of this paper
Ohio will befover, and the result pro-
claimed as a certain index of the COM
ing national election. We sincerely
hope that the Blaine Circus now ex-
hibiting through that state will make
a success of it. We do not expect and
would not have Democratic victory
there this October election, if we had
the power to make it SO. Our reasons
are these: In the first place, we do not
need Ohio to make a national success;
(although we should be proud to have
it Democratic State in November).
In the second place, and mark the pre-
diction! as surely as Ohio goes Demo-
cratic next week, SO surely will Blaine
be withdrawn from the National Re-
publican ticket, and the name Of some
reputable republican take the place now
disgraced by the man from Maine.
We reiterate that we have greater fear
that Ohio shall go Democratic next
week than Republican, and we say to
our Ohio Democrats, the success of the
of the laborer, mechanic and farmer,
and the downfall of the monopolies and
rascals now in office will be more than
assured by Republican success next
week week in your state, inasmuch as
it will make Gov. Cleveland the next
President o: these United States.

According to the Outlook, our neigh
Dor, Reynolds county, is in rather
bad way. "Our county is in debt, and
getting in debt deeper every day;
yearly about 500. The consequence
is, when parties render services to the
county for the benefit OF the county,
get no pay or next to none. For in
stance, the state makes it necessary to
have grand and petit jury twice a
year; those who render this service are
taken from their business and homes
for from 8 to days and then are conf
PEELED to take what is known as jury
script tor their services; then you ought
to hear them hurl their denunciations
against the county court and county in
general; for in many instances they
can't buy meals victuals, or nights
lodging with their script. Well now
comes the tug of war; who is to blame?
We can declare most emphatically the
blame does not belong where most par
ties impute it. The county cannot, or
SIlOulU not eACGcu TIC IituIt Vi ttiO Soh0
stitutIon in the matter. The 2d divis-
ion OF Sec. II, of Art. 8 of the constitu-
ton declares that, For county purpos-
es the annual rate on property shall
not exceed in aggregate one half Of one
per cent, or SO cents OH the hundred
dollars valuation If the county court
in their levy exceed the constitutional
limit, they become subject to indict-
ment for maIfeasance i'm office" Some
citizens advocate applying to the State
for aid, but of course that remedy is
not attainable under the constitution,
which forbids the lending or giving Of
the States credit for any purpose what
ever. Rather than apply to the State
for aid" says the Outlook, 1--WE would
advocate the dissolution of county Or
ganization, and pray to be- attached to
one of the hill counties of the lava-beds
with Capt. Jack as president" The
Outlook thinks the only way out of the
trouble il to increase the valuation of
of property, which is, in mostinstances,
now assessed very low.
