ANEW DON oulxoTE

Papers may be cranky and stuck on
"isms' Of one kind and another, and
give vigorous support to the individual
interests OF their proprietors. Such
things have been known, and even i'm
Texas. Inexperienced mon start news
papers and fail for years to loa-r that 1t
is not tho organ, the special champion OF
any one interest, that succeeds, but the
genuine impartial bona fide vehicle ofthe
news of the day. Not thousand miles
from Dallas, for instance, short time
since, big company with cattle and
landed interests on a largo scale, ran n
lot of papers in tho advocacy of free
grass, largo sales of land and other
state policies looking to the aggran-
diaomont of syndcatos and cattle kings
rs against tho actual settler and the
poor citizen.
This special character OF newspaper
work, however, failed ingloriously, and
the papers have passed for the present
Mt least into other hands. II but reiter-
altos the strength Of the position, that to
succeed paper must not only give the
fullest and latest news but place itself
In harmony with the sentiment OF the
people aud the spirit of the hour. Mere
"organs," run ut large expense, after a
while find that they are not filling the
popular demands OF n live newspaper
enterprise and consequently suspend,
or pass into other hands.
There is food for thought In these re-
Elections to q. WAsUiNaroV JONES who
is running for Governor. lilo is merely
an "organ," special plcador, for
n very small clique and his
candidacy Will ultimately and clearly
show this fact. We can easily see how,
through outside investments, paper
could make itsolf pay forawhilc through
advocacy of even outrageous PROPOSE
tons, but we are at loss to discover any
method in the madness of u politician
who will, as JONES Is doing, offer him
self for otllco upon platform In direct
opposition to the overwhelmingly OK
pressed sentiment and preferences OF
the people OF this State.
He is running in opposition to free
trade. And yet Texas above all States
In the American Union is in favor of free
trade. There IL unanimity Of thought
and preference In this matter In Texas
that is met with nowhere else in the
United States. Then JOINS opposes the
actual settler. lie wants tho chlldron's
lands given over without charge, for
long years, to wealthy cattle and land
syndIcates, ana is for re.onacting those
scenes on the border, whore might made
right and the pistol was the border law,
Against this proposition also, tie masses

gans" until his mind has become hope.

to start crusade against such vicious
dangerous literature. With tho people
overwhelmingly opposed to him and q
Democratic majority of 100000 staring
him In the face, what does he meant
Poor WASH! His friends ought TO look
after him.

generally obtains them. 1t is extremely
complimentary to Mn. WELLBoRN that
his name is mentioned so often in con-
nection with the United States Senate.
Coming from papers invariably away
from his home, it is evidence of the high
and general esteem in which he is held
throughout the State. Such frequent
mention in such connection cannot but
be gratifying to him.
But just here it is but Justice to say
that no man among his friends here has
ever heard WELLBoRS refer TO the sub
ject. II he has such aspirations his
most intimate associates arc ignorant of
the fact. The II RAIL-, his home paper,
has never given tho matter attention be-
fore. No such determination as the Ex-
aminer imagines and charges, exists
among any clique or class here. The mat
ter is never talked ofhere for this district
is proud of WELLBoRNs growing fame
in the House and desires above all
things to retain his valuable services
there.
Thore are some men in this section
who refuse to believe what Is fact,
that DIN WELLBoRN has made n
national reputation in six years Of Con-
gressional service, and that he Is a peer
and iavOrite in the House with such
men as RANDALL, CARLISLE, Cox, RAN
TUcKE &, DoRsHEIMER, MORRISON and
other great leaders of the party.
GEN. MAXEY is splendid man, has
made brilliant and faithful Senator,
and has had his reward in the frequently
expressed plaudits of his people. He
and WELLBoitN are on the most salts
factory terms. They admire each other,
and work in common for the glory of
Texas. Why then this agitation of VEL
LBoRN's name ~ "a Senatorial aspirant
two years and half before the term Of
the present honorable Senator expires?
II Is unjust to MAXEY and il Is unjust
TO WELLBoRN. No body is finding any
fault with SENATOR MAXEY and no man
has ever heard word from WELLBoRN
with reference to any Senatorial aspi-
rations. The fact is he desires TO re-
main in tho House. His friends desire
him to remain there. That il the great
or fold Of usefulness and tho ono for
which his talents peculiarly fit him and
there he Is likely to stay for some years
yet.
In Mn. WELLB0RN' S behalf and in
Justice to him, while he is absent in his
canvass Of his district, the HERALD but
deems il proper to remark that all such
talk is premature, baseless and unfair,
both rs criticism upon SENATOR
MAxEY and as an assumption of WE'LL
horns intentions for the future. His
people are satisfied with INN and he IL
satisfied to serve Thorn so as to grow in
national fame while cOrrespondingly in
influence for and usefulness towards
his district. What is said here is with
out any conference with or knowledge
of Cor. WELLnoRN on this subject, ~ he
is not in the city. We hut think it Just
aud expodient to so speak at this tim Q.

New York, Sept. 10. Mr.. Morosini
was seen at his house. lie said that his
daughter called this morning to sec her
sick mother, but remained only about
ton minutes. She declared ten minutes
was the time allotted for her calls by
by her husband. Yesterday, on her own
responsibility, as she said she staid five
minutes longer. Morosini said his cid
est daughter did not wish to see her
father, sister or brother, and indeed had
remarked she did not care it they all
died. He had therefore avoided seeing
her and he had hoped she would return
repentant, but she cared for nothing in
tho world except that man whom she
had married. She was completely
changed from the dutiful, afroctiunate,
religious girl she was before she went
away. Tho change in her
was SO great ho had recovered
from his grief, and was now willing TO
forget her. She could go her own course.
She was irredecmably lost to all SENSE
of proprioty to her family, and there
was no possibility Of any reconciliation.
