1000 colored Republicans In Calves

vided support Of the Republicans of
Brazoria county and the best lawyers
in the state. Burkhardt was power
fully supported by Republicans here
and by an the leading Republicans in
Texas. The Republicans are forever
soured on the proud Thomas Ochiltree
at last. Sudden and unanticipated
success was the producing cause of his
downfall. Colored Republicans have
been too long ignored in their prefer
ences. The defeat Of those men whom
they saw fit to indorse with their
united support was direct insult to
them. 1t was treating them with ut
ter contempt, This they were quick
to understand. From q Democrat,
considering the strength of their vote
in this district, they would have re-
ceived more recognition. Any good
Democrat who may run for congress
will be supported by Republicans as
against Ochiltree. Republicans say
that the Hon Thomas has forfeited
all claims on them.

THE CHASTITY SIGN.
The Gentleman Who Saw 1t Comes For
ward Over His Own Signature
and Says SO.

To the Gazette.
In your issue of to-day, April IS, my
attention has been directed 10 an
article, written over the signature of
o. Painpare, one of the twelve Jurors
impanelled in the Cunningham trial.
The writer denounces as "mitigated
falsehood" the statement made, that
one of the jurors made signs with his
hands by showing that eleven out of
the twelve jurors We're in favor of
capital punishment, and furthermore
made the sign of hanging. / presume
that ! am the individual referred to.
and in Standardization will make n
plain statement of facts: | was in the
city of Fort Worth on the evening
the Cunningham case went to the jury
and remained there until about Z
O'Clock. In the course of a half-hour
after the jurors returned into the court
and asked for Ferguson's testimony to
be reread in their hearing, l was
standing In the back courtyard in the
company of two or three men. Seeing
luryman who was an acquaintance
OF mine lying In the jury-room win
dow, and another person there, whom
| took to be the Fort Worth juryman,
l raised my hand and made signs of
inquiry as to how the jury stood. He
replied by raising both hands and dis.
playing his ten fingers, then closing
Ills hands and raising one 'humb, from
which inferred that the jury stood
eleven to one, aud from the manner In
which he raised his hand to his neck

any OF the iurymen from the time of
their impaneling. had no interest

Tads' Shin Railway.


Capt. Eads, who has Just returned
to this country, reports that English
capitalists listened patiently ard at
tentively to the details of his proposed
isthmian ship railway, and he comes
home pretty well assured that the
money, foreign capital, will not be
lacking. He allows himself five years
to complete the work, at cost of from
S50. 000 900 to $50 10000 Before going
TO Europe Eads made an earnest effort
TO enlist American capital sufficient to
undertake and carry out his great
scheme. As an American he was so
far imbued with local pride as to de-
sire that his countrymen should share
all the honors and profits of what will
be the most remarkable feat in me-
chanical engineering on any conti-
nent. The rebutIs he received will be
remembered, and so he went abroad.
When English capital takes hold of
this measure and completes the work,
and ships are lifted from the water
and transported within a few hours
from ocean to ocean, we may then ex-
pect some spread.eagle orator to arise
in congress, proclaim the Monroe doc
trine anew and urge that manifest
destiny" requires the United States to
control work brought to fruition by
foreign faith in the capacity and ge-
MUS of an American engineer whose
own people gave him the cold
shoulder.

Advice TO Judge Binkley.
Dallas Tlmes.1


Judge Binkley holds within the
palm of his hand u great honor. He
has ever possessed sterling qualities as
a man and his conduct as gentleman
has been unbroken. He is about to
receive questionable reward in the
shape of being placed at the head of
the state Republican column which
will be, as usual, smashed and crushed
and ground into powder the day the
battle comes. He is the one man in
the state for whom the Plughats and
Beefheads entertain common respect
"a respect which is com plimentary to
him, but extremely dangerous when
we consider what is required of him.
He has two courses to pursue,
equally full of thorns. If he
accept the honor profiered as
a man of sound judgment
and experience he knows that defeat
surely awaits him. 1t is but natural
that he would have this cup pass from
him. Very few men were ever known
to court or consent TO martyrdom in
politics. They are always buoyed up by
a shadow of hope. In Binkley's can
didacy for governor there is absolutely
no such shadow. Should he push back
the crown, which both the Beefheads
and Plughats would place upon his
brow, he may lose that prestige which
he now possesses in the party to
a greater extent than any
man in it. The time may come
when such prestige and popularity
would be worth something-when it
may be highly honorable 10 its pos
SCISSOR. It's an awkward fiX-a pre-

Iniustica of the Tariff


When prices were high and the
farmer could get dollar and half a
bushel for his wheat, he paid little re-
gard to the robbery of a protect
tariff. Now that wheat has fallen in
the large Northwestern markets to
eighty cents a bushel, the farmer sees
that he must lave compromising
adjustment of prices that will enable
him to make his diminished income
meet his expenses. There has been
no corresponding decrease in what he
has 10 buy as in what he has to sell.
The cotton and wooden goods that
clothe himself and family; the furni-
ture of his household; the implements
OF his farm; his sugar and molasses,
rice and salt-ali these items of daily
expense are Increased an average of
hity per cent. by q tax to sustain a few
manufacturers in the Eastern states
and few sugar refiners in Louisiana.
He has paid these taxes without much
complaint; but declining wheat
market and diminishing receipts ad-
monish him t. At he must look out for
his interests. If he must sell In the
cheapest market he must buy in the
cheapest market. A tariff can do him
no good. 1t keeps out no competition
that affects him. The agricultural
productive capacity of the country Is
FAR In excess of its consumptive de.
mand. The surplus must find a
market in Europe, and the price of
wheat Is fixed by the demand for this
surplus. In the free market of Liver.
pool the farmer must compete with
the world, where our tariff laws cannot
reach him. The serf labor Of Russia
and the ryot labor Of India, jostle the
free labor Of America and fix lis
compensation. But the farmer, with.
out any protection, is taxed for the
protection of others.
Are the farmers of Minnesota. Wis.
consin, Michigan, Kansas and Illinois
so blind TO their own interests as to
continue to keep in power the party
which inaugurated and perpetuates
this tariff that robs them of millions
every year, Hostility to the tariff is
growing In the Republican strong
holds Of the Northwest, and II is Gre.
ating revolution in political feeling.
Three OF the Republican congressman
from Minnesota voted for the Morrl-
son bill. Would they have antag-
onized the principles OF their party ii
they had dared not to? They know
the feeling of the people whose votes
elect them, and they cannot afford to
ignore this feeling. These farmers Of
the Northwest must have relief If
the Republican party Will not give II
70 them, they will ask It Of the DEM
] ocrats.

The NEGRO N the Indian Territory.

The Indian territory lobby, IL is re-
ported, is opposing the bill pending In
congress providing for the enfranchlse-
ment of colored persons, residents oil
.he various "nations, as the sub-divi-
sions of the Indian country are termed.
In ante. bellum days, as is generally
known, many Of the Indians In the
territory were shareholders. There
were Choctaw, Cherokee, Creek and
Chickasaw planters who owned and
worked anywhere from ten to hun
bred slaves. Thtse negroes, or their
descendants, are still living in the
territory but have never been vested
with the prerogatives of citizenship
enjoyed by their ex-owneIs. They
are protected in personal and property
matters, but may not vote, hold any
Office or sit on jury. Small as to
numbers, their case does not appear to
have attracted the interest Of the out
side world, beyond seeing that they
are not imposed upon in any way.
Presumably they have accepted the
situation, for it is only of late that the
movement has been inaugurated
looking to putting them on an equal
footing, as to citizenship, with the
Indian. The latter is hardly to be
blamed if he enters a protest. He is
intelligent and sufficiently observant
TO have noted the effects of negro citi-
zenship in the Southern states. The
negro in the Indian territory does not
compare, in point of acquired intelli-
gence, with his Southern brother.
The latter has enjoyed educational
advantages for at least decade and a
half, and even where too far advanced
in years TO think of entering the school
room, he has the advantage of havin G
spent all his days under settled and
civilized conditions, and by virtue of
his surroundings and sheer force OF
circumstances he has at least some
idea of citizenship and its duties. AT
his best, however, we all know what
he is in the South. The negro in the
Indian territory has not had such sur
roundings and advantages. With
rare exceptions he is as ignorant and
uneducated now as twenty years ago.
That he Is so is not his fault, but
making him full-fledged citizen OF
the Indian territory would be more a
piece of sentimentalism than anything
else. He enjoys life as it is and has u
fair chance. His rights of person and
property are respected. a few years
of education may render the proposed
Acknowledgement eXpedient and appro
pirate, but all the circumstances
considered the intelligent, property
owning Indian is not very censurable
If he objects to the admission of an
ignorant, irresponsible elementin to the
body polite. 1t is difficult enough to
control the semi-civilized, half edu.
Gated Creek, Choctaw, Cher ol1ee
Chickasaw and Seminole, without
having to contend with the absolutely
Ignorant negro.
