THE Democratic editors of In
diana are to assemble in conven-
ton this month, One of the pre-
visions is that each editor shall
provide his own bottle. What an
editor could want of a bottle is be-
yond our ken, unless it would be
to hold beef tea. But then we are
not a Democratic editor, and should
not Judge untortunates by our
standard. Perish the thought that
they would so far forget Il er call
ing as to drink vulgar whiskey.

Your wife is entitled to her share of your
income. 1t is her income as well as yours.
John Stuart Mill was a cold blooded philoso-
pher, not warm blooded sentimentalist; and
John Stuart Mill says that the natural division
OF labor IN the household, which assigns to
the husband the earning of the money and the
vile the administration Of the home, is an
equable division of the labor, giving to the
two ordinarily an about equal share. To dole
out money grudgingly to your wife is more
than ungenerous; it is unjust. The treasury
is common treasury. You and she are,
commercially speaking, partners. She has a
right to a reasonable proportion of your in
come; to have it regularly; to have 1t without
hesitation, reluctance or question:; to spend /,
in her own discretion, and not to be called
upon to account for every dollar before sh :
receives another. We have received seyera
letters lately on this subject, on behalf 0
wives subjected to a petty and unintention
despotsm by their husbands. Some of these
letters can not be read without making the
despotism worse.

GONE of the most disastrous customs of
Texas" says the McGregor plaindealer, sis
its credit system. Everything is bad about it,
and the homestead law of the State is the
prime cause. The wholesale merchants send
out drummers to drum the retail merchants to
purchase and then the Sheriff drums them for
the pay. 1t would seem that experience
would teach our retail merchants to be more
careful, but every day we see that some one Of
them has failed. But the wholesale merchant
does not fail, yet they both sell on time. The
retailer has no protection, while the wholesale
merchant has ample. Even if our merchan,
does not fail all his profits are on his books
where is the evil? We answer, it lies in the
credit system. II all transactions wer made
on cash basis, it would soon do away with
cotton raising and new and more remunerative
industries would soon be taken hold Of.
Farmers would learn to prepare for coming
needs, they would depend on their own effort
but now they 60 in debt all that big crop OF
cotton would pay out. but the cotton is a poor
crop compared with their calculations and they
can't pay the retailer and the wholesale dealer
sends on and closes our country merchant out,
new one opens up and he likewise learns
who can be trusted after it is too late. There
is no class that would receive greater benefit
from strictly cash business than the farmer
for he would live within his income and save
the enormous price he now pays for credit.

THAT Ex-Governor Roberts made a good
executive as far as the word goes no one will
deny, but that he is the only man in all Texas
or in the Democratic party that can fill the
executive chair successfully and satisfactorily
to the State, is not true. There is plenty OF
good material, younger men and men who are
in sympathy with the spirit OF the age all over
the State who would make as good Governor
as he did and better. The Bourbon party be-
ing the dominant one it is not supposed for
moment that the opposition or Republicans
can or will have a hand in shaping such an
event, but to the LIGHT il does not look par
ticularly creditable on the part of the Democ-
racy that when they get into trouble they
have no faith in but one man and one who
has in measure lived out the time of his ac-
tivity. This attempt at this day to again
bring the ''old alcalde" to the front ought to
suggest much food for thought 10 the rank
and file and younger members OF the Bourbon
party and gives hint that activity, brains,
progress and business is very much below
par, when it comes TO choosing leaders to rep
resent them in the affairs of State, and the
men who originated the present movement
could not more plainly tell the great mass OF
voters that they are looked upon simply as
cattle.

THE political situation, as II appears from

Of the Philadelphia Times A number Of
prominent Democrats have come to Wash

the effect on the party's prospects resulting
from the domination oil the free traders in the
House Of Representatives, they agree in say
ing it is disastrous. The prospect Of the
Democracy electing the President, before so
hopeful, was suddenly obscured by Carlsle's
election and subsequent action in connection
with the avowals of the leaders in the hour Of
their triumph. al have come on here" said
New York Democrat, ito learn for myself

our party has fallen into the hands Of those
whose ultimate object is free trade, and who,
il they become reconciled to the government,
are animated by the purpose of controlling it
for objects sectional and personal | find, to
say the least, that too much Of this is true,
especially as relates to free trade" Said
another from Pennsylvania: 81 find down
right hostility existing toward our great in
terests, with Mr.. Randall virtually prescribed
as an unSound Democrat, and that the word
is out that, hereafter, we must follow the
leaders who so lately led in the field against

THE Rev. Joseph Cook declares that the 70

himself no credit by sneering and villifyine

On yon bright Heavenly shore.

Too good, too pure for earth.

In happiness to rejoice.

To dwell on yon celestial shore

Bishop Spaulding's Lecture.

The lecture of Bishop Spaulding, at the
Opera House last Sunday evening" in spite of
the intense heat, drew out a large audience,
who gave him their undivided attention
| through the whole hour and a half of its de
livery. The Bishop, in his clean cut, tall and
slender form, closely shaven face, high,
smooth, classic brow and golden-bowcd spec
tacles, as well as in his precise aad faultlcss
rhetoric and pure, classic dicton reminded
one strongly of the conventional New Eng.
land college professor. His voice is singu-
LARRY musical and pleasant and his clocution
admirable. Though delivered in the interest
of public library, the Bishop was candid
enough in the outset to say that he had little
faith, as a means of self education Cthe theme
of his lecture) in the ordinary circulating libra
ry, every day experience showing that few
really good books ever found a place in them,
and if they did were rarely called for-thc
mass of the reading of such collections being
the vcriest trash Instead of much and va
rious reading, he held that really profitable
reading must be confined to very few books
and those the best, which must not only be
read and re-read, but St,tdied, until mastered.
The reading must be such that the thoughts
of the great author come to saturate the stu
dent, who should then commit them to paper
and enlarge on them in his own language.
Such reading alone could be profitable, though
it might be more like hard work than pleas
urc.
Regarding the general provision in this
country for popular education, the Bishop ad-
United it to be in its extent praiscworthy, and
in its chief aim, to educate all classes up to Il
certain standard to qualify them for respon-
sible citizenship, adequate; but such educa-
ton alone could lead to no true intellectual
greatness, which was attainablc only by de
termned devotion to one high aim, to the
comparative neglect Of all others, There was
also, in all our popular systems of education,
a palpable neglect Of what should be the main
object Of all education, the incubation Of the
principles of true morality. 1t was the only
stable or safe basis Of popular government,
The highest intellectual development, the
widest diffusion Of what isgpopularly called
education, the sharpening of the mental fac
ultics Of whole race to the kcencst possible
edge, has never saved, never will save any ma
ton from destruction without broad and
firm foundation of morality.
