POLITICAL FREEDOM IN THE
SOUTH.

The Republican party is getting
ready to go earnestly to work in
the coming presidential campaign.
A caucus of the republican mem
bers ofoongress was held Wednes-
day night, Senator Edmunds pre-
sided. In taking the chair Ed.
munds said the outlook of the Re-
publican party in 1884, was at this
early period of the campaign, bet
ter than at any time for the past
fifteen years. There was every rea-
son to believe the party would be
successful if it only exercised wis
dom in selecting a candidate. A
resolution was adopted expressing
sympathy with southern Republi-
cans struggling to exercise a vital
fundamental right of free suffrage
in popular elections, etc. 1t seems
to be an utter impossibility for
northern Republicans to believe
that men in the south can vote the
Republican ticket without being
murdered. The truth is, the bal
lot is far freer in the south than
in the north, colored and white
Republicans vote their ticket with
outany molestation whatever the
only difficulty the Republicans in
the south labor, under is, there is
not enough of them. The Demo
Gratis are largely in the majority
and can afford to treat theopposi-
ton with every consideration.
IF the northern Republican
politicians could or would find this
out it would save them great
deal of mental anguish and also
relieve southern Democrats of the
stigms that is attempted to be cast
npon them by northern Republic
can managers, who seemingly have
no fairness in their composition
when it comes to a presidential
election. Ifthey would send an
investigation committee south to
confer with the negroes they
would learn from the mouths of
the negroes themselves that they
are not interfered with by the
whites on election day, but are al
lowed to vote as they please. The
only interference is by their own
color when q negro has the termni-
ty to vote . Democratic ticket.
What the negroes need in the
south more than anything alse is
political independence. As they
are now situated they are in too
many instances the slaves of the
Republican party, and still the
northern Republicans persist IN
being unhappy.

THE ARnc4N TREATY.

The failure of the Mexican re-
ciprocity treaty is q cause for con-
graduation on the part of the
Tfmes-Demecrat and the sugar
planters of Louisiana. The failure
Of the treaty is attributed to the
fact that it admitted Mexican sugar
into the United States free of duty,
and would, the Times-Democrat
claims, have totally ruined the su-
gar industry of Louisiana, and we
might add Texas too, but there are
very few sugar plantations in this
state, perhaps not more than half a
dozen in all. By the Hawaiian
treaty sugar is admitted duty free,
yet the sugar business on the Pa
eiic coast is in the hands of few
monopolists and there has been no
reduction in the price of sugar in
California. It is now claimed that
the treaty was an unfortunate and
iIl-advised measure. The Louis
lana planters claim that the pas
sage oftbe Mexican treaty with the
sugar section would have been un-
fortunate. It would have proved
a severe blow at a home industry
tile production of sugar-in the
interest of a foreign government !;
it would have entailed heavy
loss Of revenue to the government
and have opened the 'doorto the
most gigantic frauds ON Their tariff.
The nearness of Cuba to Mexico
would have enabled the former
country to ship sugar into the Uni
ted States through Mexico with
out paying the duty. This is the
view taken Of the matter by those
directly interested IN the proouc-
tion of sugar. It is claimed that
100000 people and many millions
Of capital are engaged in this in
dustry, but on the other hand more
than fifty millions of people are
consumers of sugar, and so long as
the sugar industry of Louisiana,
. which supplies but 1.-THE of the
rantity consumed is protected by
high tariff the people of the Uni
ed States are placed indirectly un-

JOSEPHE. MCDONALD.

The indianapolis Sentinel, the
leading Democratic paper of Indi-
ana, in its issue of the 18th inst,
publishes a translation from the
German Telegraph of its city,
bringing out and endorsing Joseph
E. Mcdonald, of Indianapolis, ex-
Senator of the United States from
Indiana, as a candidate for the
nomination for president by the
Democratic party. The Telegraph
says Mr.. Mcdonald is q statesman
of spotless record, large experience
and 8 most excellent reputation in
all parts of the country wherever
the star spangled banner waves.
A statesman of liberal, definite and
correct views on all the important
political questions of the present
time, in regard to which he has,
under all circumstances, shawn the
courage ofhis convictions, 4 man
who knows and appreciates the
views of life characteristic of the
German nationality, and friend
of the Germans among whom he is
very popular. In short, of all the
Democratic aspirants for the pres
idency he is the one WHOSE eandi-
dacy will, we are firmly convinced,
be far the strongest, and most GER
tainly lead to a brilliant victory.
On the tariff question he stands
on the same ground with Speaker
Carlisle, and while not a free
trader he is in favor of a reform in
the tariff, but is opposed to any
undue haste which might injure
the industry and commerce of
America by want Of time nee
essary to makethe required changes
The Sentinel, IN . doqble-leaded
editorial, fully endorses all that is
said by its German contemporary,
and adds: Ellis services to the
party, the state and the country,
have been long continued, faithful
and meritorious. His public and
private life have been without re-
proach or blemish. His record
needs no defcnsej his canvass and
candidacy no explanation.
Mr.. Mcdonald seems to be I'M
Objectionable, but yet it remains
to be determined by the Demo
cratic National convention wheth-
er or not be Is the most available
man in the party; the man who is
most likely to achieve success. lie

On Sunday last more than hall
the members of the Legislature
went to church, while the other
half strolled loosely around the
streets. In the afternoon q Clay
county man named Hogan made q
speech in the House of Represen,
tatives in defence of the fence-cut-
tiers. He said that nothing short
of q redress of the grievances
would stop fence-cutting; that il
would simply lead to bloodshed
and midnight assassinations to
make the offense felony, unless
the causes leading to the offcnse
were first removed. He said that
the fencingin of public lands and
lands belonging to others by large
pasturemen was ths first of the
evil. He said the nipperuen were
not farmers, and that Texas wa;
not strong enough to stop the de-
struction of fences unless the
wrongs of the cutters were first
righted. There is unquestionably
two sides to the fence question
and neutral concessions will be a
prerequisite TO solution of it.

4 ED POLICY.

Tho Houston Post says that
Charley Bannister, a negro who,
about eleven years ago killed n
white man and was sent TO the
penitentiary for life has re-appear-
ed in Houston, he having been
pardoned. The Post has investi-
gated the matter and finds that
the murder was most atrocious
one. A petition for pardon was
gotten up and signed by many
good citizens. Cases of this kind
go to show that while there is life
there is hope, and that a life SEN
tence to the penitentiary is by no
means as terrible as many suppose.
Statistics have been prepared show
ing that the average term of life
convicts to the penitentiary is only
about ten years; of course the usu-
al proportion of convicts die, but
the average term of those who live
is reduced to ten years, SO that it
may truthfully be said that when a
man is sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life his chances are that
if he lives he will be a free man
again in about ten years. This rule
would seem to hold good in Texas
as in other states. 1t would prob
ably be unjust to blame the gov
errors of the several states for this
state ofaffairs as they only follow
an established precedent but the
wisdom of the policy of pardoning
out murderers may well be brought
into question. If the evidence of
mans guilt is sufficient to warrant
a jury in fixing his punishment at
q life term In the -penitentiary,
there he should be compelled to
remain unless new and indisputa-
bic evidence of his innocence be
produced. The granting of par
dons on petitions is wrong in prin-
ciple; there is nothing easier than
getting a petition signed, many
men sign such documents without
giving the subject matter any
thought or consideration, merely
putting down their names because
they see other names on them.
Every state should have a board of
pardons who would make a most
rigid investigation into every ap-
plieation and only grant a pardon
when it is clearly shown that JUS
tice demands it.

RUMORS.

1t may be taken for granted that
newspapers as well as men are ac-
tuated by motives. The Galveston
News has for some months been
making a persistent war on Gov.
Ireland, in his official capacity as
governor and not on him as an in
dividual, and it is only fair 10 as
sumo that it has done so for cause.
Its motives are its own it may
have a personal grievance, or it
may conceive it to be its duty as a
newspaper to criticise him; the
public has no right to inquire into
motives, but the public has the
right TO judge of the merit or de-
merit of the criticisms. There is
no question of the right of a paper
to criticise the Official acts of pub
lie servants. tits a fact well known
to all readers of the Houston Post
that the Post has no love for the
News, regarding it in the light of
a business rival. At this particu-
lar time there is sharp rivalry
existing between the two papers in
the matter of gathering and dis
seminating news from Austin
where the legislature is now in SEES
sion. Both papers are on the alert,
but for very different purposes /;
the News is on the alert for news
that will place the governor in an
unfavorable light ; it has assumed
q position antagonistic to the gov
ernor and it must and will main-
tain it at all hazards. On the other
hand the Post, has, so TO speak,
assumed the championship of the
governor and it is on the alert for
any and all items of news that will
place him in a favorable position
before the public. This is about a
fair statement of tho position of
the two papers. The Post of Tues
day publishes special from Aus
tin in which it processes to give
the rumors current at the capital
and which accounts for the animus
of the News. Some months ago
Col. Flournoy, of California, late
of Texas, now attorney for the
Huntington railroad interests,
was in Galveston. 1t is
well known that Governor
ireland is in favor of making the
railroads comply with the strict
letters of the law, and it is feared
that if he is reelected governor
further railroad legislation would
be attempted by the next legisla-
ture. In brief Ireland is regarded
as inimical to the railroads and
the object sought is to shelve him
and elect railroad man for gov
ernor. 1t is further stated that
the appearance of Flournoy in
Texas and the war on Ireland by
the News are almost contempora
neous. 1t is also alleged that the
News has been ''tixed." As to the
latter charge it is much easier
made than substantuated. An es-
tablished newspaper is valuable
property, it is not for a day, but
is a permanent institution, and
from a business standpoint it can
not afford to be "fxed" for certain
purposes, because if fixed" it
would loose caste and public con-
tidence at the same time, and los
ing public confidence it would be-
come valueless as newspaper. |
These rumors are given merely as
news and a discriminating
public is at liberty to put such
value on them as it may consider
them worth.
