THE attempt to reanimate and gal
vanize the political dry bones of the Old
Alcalde Is us unwise as 1t is ridiculous.
Governor Roberts is n man of very strong
prejudices and great narrowness view,
and these traits render his return to
power unadvisable. Dreadful is the
return of banished man to power" was
a proverb current among the Romans,
and the return of the Old Alcalde to
power would be likely to render 1t cur
rent In Texas, since his strong prejudices
and dislikes would be very apt to lead
him to prescribe all who had ever criti-
csed or opposed him in former years.
As to craftsmanship, II Is n commodity
which Ex-Governor Roberts never In
cluded in his stock. His pet financial
scheme of keeping on hand in the state
treasury large amounts OF cash, over and
above the expenses of the State Govern
ment, was patented many centuries ago
by kings, who boarded up money In
time of peace in order to carry on war.
Crnsus was ahead Of the Old Alcalde In
this brilliant feat in the way of finance.
Large amounts of money in the treasury
| is as sure to breed corruption as an
ancient cheese is to breed maggots. The
State has no need for more money than
is needed to pay the current expenses OF
the State Government, and should lower
| the rate of taxation to prevent such sur
plus. Ex-Governor Roberts is now 6s
years old and is thereby untitled for the
Executive office. The people do moi
wish to see him Governor. The News
had as well stop footing its horn.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Chicago News says: "One thing is GER
tain, and that is that President Arthur is
not lifting his hand to contest Logan in
Illinois. He gives absolutely no encour-
agement to the opponents OF Logan in
that State, and treats his requests with
the same attention that he did before the
Illinois Senator was so clearly outlined
as candidate. This is the height OF
good politics. The President will not
awaken antagonisms by doing anything
that can be construed as looking toward
fighting candidates at their own homes. y

A DISCOVERY has recently been made
that may result to the advantage of
Major WATSON. The Washington Critic
says: "Some excitement is caused in
army circles by report that Major
WATSON, now serving term in the pen
itentiary on a court martial sentence,
will be released and restored to rank and
duty on account of an irregularity in his
trial, consisting Of a first vote, in which
1t was voted to suspend, and second
vote, in which it was decided to dis
charge and imprison him. The first de-
cision, 1t Is claimed, was as final as a
jury verdict, and its alteration after once
being recorded is said to restore Major
WATSON to his rank by multiplying the
whole proceedings against him."

and scattered out to surround him. Some

If he would get away again.
Officer Golden was there, however,
and he determined to get the coon,
and the officer went after him.
Over fences, across bitches, and around
houses went the officer and he soon left the
others behind, and gained upon Lee until
the latter was forced TO give the race up
and declare the day lost. Then he refused
to 60 with the officer on the plea that he
did not have warrant for him, the idea
of having to have warrant for an escaped
prisoner. He was brought back to town
