TIE death Of the late Bishop PINK
ney Of Maryland leaves vacancy In
that diocese which is to be filed by the
general convention of the Episcopal
church, which will meet on May rs
II will interest churchmen in Western
Texas to know that their bishop, Rt.
Rev. Robt. w. b. Elliott, is mentioned
very prominently as n probable success
or of the Maryland bishop. Indeed 1t
is stated that he is perhaps the most
available material in the field. 1t is to
be doubted II the Western Texas Epis-
copalians will view the proposed
change with favor, as Bishop Elliott Is
very popular in his diocese. He is
comparatively young, and has prose-
cuted the church work with vigor and
sagacity. The salary in Ethe diocese
of Maryland, 5000 per annum, is
much larger than he enjoys in Texas,
or is likely to enjoy for years to come.

Marion Martin doubtless feels that

AT all events the acknowledgement

right before the public. Ha has hied
him to Corsicana and invoked the
kindly Offices of his home paper, the
Observer, to explain for him how
sadly he has been misrepresented.
He tells the Observer
That what he sad about lawyers was great

say aniasonistical TO normal schools was
erroneous That had tho News been genu
Inc friend and sought his promotion, II
would not have warped and twisted the few
remarks he made In an interview OF an hou,
beneath his own roof tree, so as TO antagonlze
him with the lawyers, among whom he lust
ly claims many friends, and to set Against
him the school teachers, the cattle men and
all OF Ireland's friends.
The above, OF course, may be consId-
cred as authoritative, and II will

the state. Nobody, We take 1t, objects
to Mr.. Martin declining TO run on the
ireland ticket again ; and Mr.. Martin
has perfect right TO set down the Ire
land administration as a failure, II he
thinks 1t such. Asserting fact and
proving 1t are two very different
things, and the burden Of proof would
have rested on Mr.. Martin. But we
know that the public was somewhat
shocked to hear Mr.. Martin utterine
the sentiments, on some subjects, which
he now explains were put into his
mouth by his interviewer He does
himself credit by his prompt and frank
explanation.

THE San Antonio Light hints the
feeling ofhopeful Republicans:

feeling OF hopeful Republicans:
A liberal North Texas man nominated by
the Republican state convention would carry
twoihirds OF the entire vote ofthat part of
the state. Judge c. G. Binkey OF Sherman
would make n most creditable race, and
carry the party about as close TO victory as
any other man In the state.
The Light Is quite sanguine in the
outset of its statement, but shows
doubt in The conclusion. IL Judge
Binkley could carry "two.thirds of the
entire vote of North Texas, he could
not only "almost carry the party to
victory" but quite carry it there, and
beyond. OF the 100000 Democratic
votes cast in 1882, more than 100000
came from North Texas. If Judge
BiHkley could take away twothirds
of these he would leave the Democrats
only SO, 600, which, with the $4,000 in
South Texas, allows that party only
So 900 votes. With u total vote of 240 900,
as cast two years ago, this leaves the
Democrats In n minority Of some 5T,-
600. This is discouraging prospect
for Democrats TO contemplate, and
their dismay may become SO extreme
as to compel them to abandon the
farce of n nominating convention.
Their only hope is in the possibility
that there may be some error in the
Lights claim that Judge Binkley
could grab two-thirds of the entire vote
OF North Texas. Democrats ought to
examine into this.

platform, eyincing profound states

Is An outspoken opposition to that POI

THE 10000 colored voters OF Texas
are sending delegates to the Fort

in their teeth. They mean to put up
Editor Nelson's hat on pole, and
every white Republican who fails to
make the bow OF submission will be
politically slaughtered. Ifthere should
be white William Tell to brave this
ebon Gessler the proceedings tpromise
TO be highly tragic.

interest Of ak per cent. upon our debt
which requires s46s, ,000 per:year. This
debt should and can be refunded ON long
time at 81 per cent, which would save at
least $2OO, 900 per annum and give TO
our people q reduction of at least one
and 9 half mills taxes. Our assessment
laws should be simplifed and improved.
Our road system should be remodeled.
Our County prisoners under sentence for
crime, should be put To work upon roads
and streets. Our penitentiary convicts
should be employed to develope the ma.
tenal resources Of the State, instead OF
competing With honest labor to enrich
a few private persons. These and kin.

better get the views of candidates for the
Legislature upon. It is not profitable to

CORRECTION.

In the discussion of the South Carroll.
na University We were mistaken in treat
ing the $1,000 for the Agricultural
College as part of the $4,000 appro-
priated to the University. 1t is in ad-
dition to that sum. The eleven thousand
dollars is a part of the interest on the
State debt, and is paid directly to the
University without an appropriation. 1t
does not appear in TIE appropriation bill,
and therefore we overlooked it in our
previous article. We are anxious that
these questions shall be settled upon their
true merits, and therefore make the cor
rection before the primary election. The
principle, however, is the same. If a
University is to. be conducted at all, we
ought to have an efficient one, and the
money appropriated to it is not more
than is needed and beneficial to the
State,
