If General Blaine will not be =
candidate for the Presidency before
the next Republican National Con-
vention then all signs will fall. He
has strong, very strong friends work.
inc for him who are confident he Is
the first choice Of his party. 1t is
supposed Mr.. Blame Is writing u
book. If the people are deceived it
is an innocent deception which Is
b ing perpetrated upon them and
can result in no harm to them. Adj
hitting, however, that Mr.. Blaine is
engaged in writinga book, and that
he does not permit the thought to
enter his head, the fact remains the
same that he is a strong candidate
for the nomination at the heads OF
his party.
The Philadelphia Press publishes
extracts from fourteen county papers
in Pennsylvania and special dis
patches IN five other counties dec'ar-
ing the sentiment of the people to be
overwhelming Ia favor of Blaine for
the Republican nomination. whether
he Is q candidate or not. This Is the
greatest Blaine demonstration yet
made and Congressman Bayne of
Pittsburg declares it means Blaine is
the strongest man for the nomina-
ton.
The New York Tribune, MI. Blaine's
organ, now claims that Blaine Is the
peoples choice, and that the presls'
tence of the popular demand in
various parts of the country that he
shall he a candidate in spite OF the
understanding that he DOES notde lire
the nomination Is a proof of popular
ity which is rarely SEEM" And then
adds that "barely 7 per cent" OF the
Republican party, as far as heard
from, favor Arlhur's nomination,
aud that, as the result of general OBJ
servation, "President Arthur seems
to have little popular strength as e
candidate"
The same journal associates the
name of Robert Lincoln Tor Vice
President with that of Blaine for
President. 1.-THE remarkable PETER
ence shown for Mr.. Lincoln" says
the Tribune, ''is another point of In
terest. Nearly go per cent. of the re-
sponses made suggest his name." 1t
is not contended that Mr.. Flaine will
receive the nomination, but there is
one thing certain, it his friends can
control the choice he will receive it
and accept 1t, too. Just at present it
would seemthat Mr.. Blaine Is play
ing the role of the 'dark horse"

TEE LAsKnR RESOLUTIONS.

An exchange says: without hard.
" an exception the American press
has denounced the Lasker resolutions
as silly and impolitic. The newspa-
pers are cleverer than Congress Is"
That is ab out the size Of it. As we
have stated before, Congress did a
very foolish thing in the matter and
the rebuke administered by Bismarck
was such as to be expected. The
American people have no cause to be
particularly in love with Bismarck,
but the great majority ct them will
not take to heart his action in this
matter. These particular resolutions
were presented by the cheapest fraud
and most notorious liar In the
House: Thomas p. Ochiltree,
a Republican congressman from
Tex.s. They were adopted not be-
cause Of any particular respect for
the memory of Herr Lasker, or any
desire to interfere in the Internal
affairs of the German government.
Probably not one in ten of the men
& no voted for their adoption ever
heard of Herr Lasker uutil they read
of his sudden death in New York,
and a much smaller percentage knew
anything about his record. They
voted for the resolutions just as
people sign petitions for the pardon
of a convict or the appointment OF an
Office beggar, because that is the
easiest way out of the dilemma.
Bismarck's action will nave a good
effect if it teaches Congress to mind
it's own business regarding our
foreign relations in the future.

foreign goods might, In depressed
market, fail utterly to keep out those
goods at the very time when home
manufacturers have the greatest fear
of competition. And again, what
manufactures shall this discriminating
tariff favor? Each will demand that
1t be the favored one. Whichever IL
may be 1t Is very plain that those
which fail to get the benefit ofthis dis
elimination must suffer, not from
foreign competition alone, but from
having to pay taxes to maintain those
IN whose favor such taxes are laid.
There Is no middle ground In this
matter. Any sort of discrimination is
protection and fosters monopoly. That
is the Republican position, however
much 1t may be deformed and mis-
named. The other side is the Demo-
cratic position, demanding "a tariff
for revenue only" The Republicans
favor protection and monopoly, forcing
millions of consumers to sustain a few
thousand manufacturers. The Dem
ocrats favor cheap goods to the con-
sumner. Men who call themselves

Loyalty of Records.

Repub licans are digging up Senator
Bayard's alleged disloyal speech at
Dover in 1861, and declare that it ex-
ciudes him from consideration as n
presidential candidate. Tue most that
Senator Bayard ever did was to advise
that the South be allowed to go in
peace, II they were to be restrained
only by war. Hundreds of leading
Republicans, among them Horace
Greeley, entertained the same views.
Upon all questions affecting his loyalty
to the Union Biyard's record is less
vulnerable than that of Jack Logan,
the Republican vice-presidential can
didate. Bayard wanted to avert the
horrors of war, and he thought it not
too great price for peace to consent to
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union.
Logan was ranting copperhead, and
promised the South all his aid in the
war that was to come. He even went
30 far as to assist secretly in recruiting
men for the Southern service, and had
influenced numbers of men in South.
ern Illinois to go over into Kentucky
and join the armies of the Southern
Confederacy. If Bayard is ineligible
for expressing desire for peace at the
expense of the Union, how is Logan
more available, with his record of bit
ter hostility to the Union.

A DISCRIMINATING Tariff for Reyenne.


Halfway Democrats who clamor for
that meaningless monstrosity, the
Ohio platform, and explain that they
want tariff for revenue $50 adjusted
as to afford discrimination In favor of
American industry" should let the
public into the secret of their plans to
''adjust" this tariff 80 as to encourage
labor and not foster monopolies." At
present that is profound and inex.
plicable mystery. All the protection
that a tariff can give is by taxing
foreign commodities SO high that they
cannot pay such tax and sell In this
market against our home productions.
This gives the privilege to the home
manufacturer OF putting the prices of
his goods at the cost of manufacture
plus the tax on foreign goods of like
grade. II this tax IL low the FOREIGN
manufacturer can enter his goods and
sell, In which event 1t gives no protec-
ton at all. Ifitis high foreign goods
are excluded altogether, and thus that
monopoly" Of the home market,
which the champions OF the Ohio
platform would not "foster, - Is created
as eftectually as under the highest Re-
publican protection tariff. At what
point shall we reach the happy mean
ora tax which shall neither keep out
foreign goods altogether nor yet admit
them to competition with home man.

Cynthia Ann Parker.

BIRDviLLE, June II, 1851.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
see in your paper several commu-
nications in regard to Cynthia Ann
Parker. One says she was captured in
Anderson county, and another places
1t somewhere else; so they all miss it
a little. L thought I would tell my
opinion. There was q Parker fort in
Houston county on the San Pedro bay
on, built and occupied by Daniel Par
ker and his family, and II Parker fort
on the west side Of Navasota. about
two or three miles north of where the
town Of Groesbeck, Limestone county,
now stands. On the 10th day of May.
1886, this fort was captured by the In-
dams. My grandfather, seventy-nine
years old and Benjamin and SiIas Par
ker, and Samuel Frost and his son
Robert were killed; and Betsy Kellogg,
Rachel Plummer and her little son
Pratt Plummer, daughter and step
daughter of James Parker, and Gym
thla Ann and John, children of Silas
Parker, Were taken prisoners. Gym.
thia Ann was then about eight or nine
years old. She was recaptured by Gen.
Sui Ross in 1861 or '62 on the Pecos
river or somewhere in that region of
country and brought to Camp Cooper.
Col. ]. r.. Baylor, then Indian agent,
wrote to my father that white wo-
man captured from the Indians was
there. My father went and identified
her and brought her and her little
daughter, Tuekasonna, home to where
l now live, where she remained lex
cept while gone TO Austin), till her
brother Silas came from Van Zandt
county and took her home with him,
which was the last time ever saw her.
The notice you published for me had
the desired effect, as have received u
picture of Cynthia Ann and her child,
which was mostly for the benefit of
her son, Quanah Parker, who was
down here last fall. J. ID. PARKER.
