X Portugal is a country which figures
in current history to very limited ex-
tent. In tho sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries the Portuguese were great
navigatOrs and cOlOnizers. They occu-
pied some of the richest countries on
the globe. The wealth of the East In
dies and South America and the islands
of tho sea flowed into Lisbon. In the
eighteenth century tho British began to
plumber them of their colonies. Napo-
leon occupied their country in 1907 and
the royal family fled to Brazil. After
the restoration Portugal declined to
| nOthingness. She has few foreign
possessions left and is noted lust
now as the claimant of the COngO's
mouth and as secret promoter of the
slave trade. A recent statement Of the
financial standing of Portugal is sugges-
tive that the little country is in very
bad way, considering that the whole
population does not exceed 50OO,OOO. The
| public debt of the country is about $780,
OOWO, or "a charge of 800 to each indi-
vidual, and the expenditures for the
past ten years have exceeded the reve-
nue. nearly A,W0,O0O, while no budget
for the past thirty years has appeared
without n deficit. There is little left of
the former great colonial empire, and ,
like Spain, Portugal is in decay. The
power which has robbed her of the
cream of her possessions is Great Bri-
tain Chicago Current.

WILLS POINT, Sept. l9.-lSpecial.l-
Hon. j. II. Jones, nominee for re-
election TO congress from this district,
addressed the people Of this vicinity
today. Though laboring under a
severe hoarseness, he made an able and
effective speech, inspiring cheer and
hope in the breasts of the faithful, and
striking terror in those of the enemy.
His account Of his stewardship in last
Congress was well received by all, and
made those who supported him in his
last race feel proud they had done so.
His portrayal of the intamy of the in
famous tariff was startling. Col. Jones
says he believes that the God Of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob is still the God of
the nations Of earth, and he made most
beautiful ILLUSTRATION in saving the
"Ark OF constitutional liberty" was now
and over has been, carried in the ranks
of tho Democracy as the "Ark of the
covenant was in Olden times, preserved
by the "chosen people" of God.
His brief picture of the early life
character, and future destiny Of Grover
Cleveland was grand. While the
Colonel was referring to Cleveland's
firm reliance on Providence and firm
adherence to duty under all circum
| stances, many eyes were glistening with
tears OF JOY and hope Of success. We
are proud of Jones.

SENSIBLE AGIlON

1t takes man no little time to become
prominent and influential in Congress,
whatever his abilities may be. There is
disposition there to "sit down on"
new member who attempts to take too
forward place, and besides the rules Of
the House are such complicated piece
of machinery that no man under four or
five years service can acquire a work
ing, effective knowledge OF them.
In view of such facts it is very i'm
portant that the right men should be
selected in the first place for Congress
sional honors and be then kept there so
long as they remain active and useful.
Only in this way can State become
powerful in shaping legislation. Texas
has evidently learned this, as at least
nine OF her old eleven will have been
re-nominated by reclamation. It's the
long service Of this Texas delegation as
much 80 as its ability that gives Texas
such standing and influence in Wash
ington.
The reports from the Congressional
districts Of tho country at-large,
as they are published from day
to day, are, In the light Of
such reflections, eminently en-
couraging and satisfactory to the South
and to Democracy. These reports show
that moro Democrats are being renomi-
mated than Republicans and that more
Southern Congressman arc being re-
nominated than Northern members.
Tho South IL fixing to send back its old A.,
tried and experienced men, while tho
North, IA the reports indicate, is making
new selections.
This could not DO better arranged for
Democratic success this fall. In the
first place the chances are against ma
jority Of now men being elected. An
old and we'll known official il hard to
"turn down." 1t is an up hill business
TO attempt to put now delegations
in Congress and tho North
and Republicans, in making tho
attempt, are likely to continue for two
years longer, Mt least, a Democratic
House. There " a majority OF nearly
seventy to overcome as 1t is, and new
and inexperienced men will hardly be
able to wipo out this great difference
But should the House be changed and
tho now men from tho North preponder.
ate the South and Democracy with the
old guard will DO decidedly too heavy
for thom. They will virtually control
legislation, even though in II minority.
Ago and experience will tell, particu.
larry in stormy body, such as the
American Congress, and II is a matter
for congratulation for all good Demo
Gratis that tho party is keeping its faith
full and experienced workers in the
service.

TuHRI IL no doubt the Republi-

will injure their chances In several
States, and they are beginning to abuse
the temperance mon for supporting ST,

in Now York the Republicans and Pro-
hibitionists have heretofore worked to-
gether, but BLAtNE's action In lodging
the issue In Maine, and refusing to vote
for the constitutional amondmentsin ro-
gard to the liquor question, has embit-
tered the Prohibitlonists. and II will cost
him many votes In all tho Northern
States. 1t is well known that Mn.
BLAINE has pretended to DO favorable
10 every temperance proposition advo-
Gated by tho most rabid supporters of
OF teetotalism, and they regard HIS re-
fusal 10 act with thom, and his speech In
justification of his action, as an evidence
OF moral cowardico which should be ro.
scented at the polls In November. It will
