The APOSTLE 81. John.

The following just tribute to Gov.
St. John appeared editorially in the
Austin Statesman n short time before
the election:
st. John is full of zeal in the cause
he espouses. His late vigorous re-
fusal to withdraw from the preslden-
tial vass commands respect. He
may look upon the only issue OF his
political creed from an impracticabie
standpoint, and believe in the power
of his party to do an impracticable
thing in an illogical way. but he and
his followers are devoted to their
cause, and their. belief in its right
and Justice is of nature similar to
that which led to the abolition OF
slavery. 1t is hardly probable, how
ever, for the prohibitionists to ever
work up party successful within IT.
self, but their influence upon politics
has been, and may continue to be,
conside rable. In the last twenty
years they have forced theirideas up
on the republican party and have
brought about it's temporary defeat
fin Mpine, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Wisconsin and
Michigan. Whenever and wherever
the extreme development of the pro-
hibitory idea has been forced into
the politics of a state the defeat OF
the party accepting it has followed.
Because of this active participation
in politics the republican party was
recognized for time in the states
named as being not unfriendly to
the policy of legal prohibition. But
defeat forced the party with national
as we'll as state interests either to
give up it's allies or to play fast and
loose with them, until, tired of delay,
and disguised with small results, the
prohibitionists have at last organized
themselves into political party OF
their own. But, as st. John says,
they have come to stay, and in spite
of the appeals of their old time allies
the republicans, to get out of the
way, they will remain in the field to
fight alone for principle. The appeal
referred to would indicate that re-
publicans begin to fear the effect of
this steady front presented by pro
hibitionists upon their chances in fu,
ture elections.

This body convened at San
Antonio on Wednesday of last week.
The session was an interesting one,
but wo cannot undertake to give a
full report. The following is one of
the most interesting passages in the
proceedings:
The committee on books and pc
riodicals presented report, and DIR.
Joyce presented n substitute for the
report.
The report devotes considerable
space to the affairs and method OF
conducting the Christian Advocate.
It's editor, DIR. l. G. Johns, and one
of the publishers, Mr.. Vim. A. Shaw,
of the firm of Shaw & Blaylock, are
at outs. Shaw and his friends claim
that Johns does not possess the
requisite mental ability to edit a
publication of the standard and cir
culation of the Advocate. On the
other hand it is contended by Johns
friends thst the editorials in the paper
have attacked the Galveston News
for fostering immortality and taking
the side OF the Galveston gamblers,
while the publisher. Shaw, has VIOLA

The grass is getting good here. This
il about fifty miles below San Diego,
l have become pretty well acquainted
with most people on this road, and
have some old time acquaintances,
with whom / most always meet and
have a talk, and there is one topic
that almost invariably comes up that
tends very little to lessen the gloom
that overshadows my pathway,
mean the great hardship wrought
upon poor men, and those OF moder-
ate means, by monopolists, those
who own large stocks, immense ter
ritory and fence large pastures Or
course all who have large pastures
are not bad men, some have been
compelled to fence pastures to protect
themselves against the aggressions
and oppressions,of those who resorts,
to all manner of villainy to accomplish
their designs. If L was in high
official position, either military OF
civil, I think I would be little care
full about riding in the carriages OF
the extremely wealthy, and partaking
of their sumptuous, and extravagant
festivals, for if l would not blush and
be insulted at their offers to be there
by-with a little money added,
bribed into giving fat contracts to
furnish government, or assist in hay
ing law suits decided contrary to
law, and evidence, 1 would be afraid
of being suspected of it. But all
this will be called senseless babb!e,
and amounts to nothing, for however
much good men may deplore the bad
state of things bad men will continue
their course as long as bad men con-
tinue to hold Office and lawyers can
be paid to bride witnesses and stock
iuries, and thereby pervert the law
that they have sworn to see fairly and
Justly executed. Without having
any desire to become politically or
otherwise conspicuous, l feel con-
strained to say if any government
ever needed reform ours does, and
having no expectation Of being able to
vote myself, do hope the men of the
United States will come to their prop
er senses, and elect the right man to
the presidency.
