Among tho deaths there wero two SUI
icdos.
The superintendent in his report says:
II affords me great pleasure to be able
to report that tho health of the asylum
has been, throughout tho entire year,
exceptionally good, the mortality being
smaller than usual. No epidemic or in
fictitious disease of any kind has visited
to institution. This il due almost
wholly TO the extraordinary sanitary
precautions taken, and to the outdoor
exercises and recreatiOns haugurated
by the present superintendent.
He recommends employment for the
inmates, and says His experience and
observation OF another year has
strengthened his convictions as to its
Importance, and In his opinion,
tho state should provide facil-
tiles for tho useful employment
of any inmate who is capable OF and
willing to perform any kind OF manual
labor, aud to this end the establishment
OF workshops IL recommended.
Relative to the water supply the report
will say that the water company has
failed to supply the necdlul quantity.
lie says scarcely day and never a
week has passed during which we were
not compelled to telephone the company

necessary supply of water, aud If the

purposes,
During tho past year the institution

'eport says, IL most important i'm

DEGRADING THE MINISTERIAL Of

The demonstration of minister's, as
such, day before yesterday in behalf OF
BLAINE and the Republican party, was
simply disgusting, This is not a "church
aud state government, and 40 pointed a
departure from the proper province of
the mini- terial office, cannot but All all
decent Democrats and patriots with un-
foigned contempt
Ia the first place BLAINE IN no man TO
enjoy such a demonstration. CORRUPT
officially, tainted in his whole public
life, corrupt privately and devoid Of
either public or personal honor or
Shame, to gloriy him Is to glorlGy an

critics INDUCED in lusty cheer for
BLAINE and then healthy hurrah for

Wo have understood ALI along
that Mrs, BLAINE was out of this can
vass, but 1t appears that these syoo-
phsptic preachers imagine she Is ono Of
the factors Of tho campaign.
Tho whole proceeding was farcical aud
It was grossly out Of place. BLArNE's
private and family history is bad
enough, II is true, to bring blush to a

necessary to give him a degree of stand

Our merchants have been receiving
large installments of merchandise tn is
week, especially the dry goods men, A..
b. Kapp, S. Daube and others. While
we have an occasional quiet day-and
this is one of that kind-our average
trade, one day with another, is good.
Bowie's lumber trade is especially
worthy of note, even of repeated mention;
on the Newport, leading into Clay and
Jack counties, | counted yesterday a
large number of wagons loaded with
lumber, and all from Bowie. Cotton re-
ceipts not so large as heretofore, owing,
no doubt, to the low state of the market;
about $50 being present quotations here.
Tho reputation of Bowie and the"Cross
Timbers' is spreading widely; as an ev-
idence of which, we are in receipt of nu-
merous letters almost daily from vari-
GUS states, north and south, making in
quiry about our town and community.
They are from men in various pursuits
farmers, business men, teachers
preachers, etc. TO all we extend through
the columns OF tho HERALD a cordial in
vitation to come and add to the wealth
Of our prosperous and rapidly develop
ing community.

their sacred calling for the purpose of
giving him a certificate of character.
A business mems meeting ard en-
dorsement is all right, but for clergy
men to meet in their sacerdotal or Off |
cial character aud endorse a political |
party or a special candidate is grating |
upon tho public's finor sense, and in fact
disgusting. The Lord is not supposed |
to care any more for BLAINE than for
CLEVELAND, and yet these reverend
gentlemen would create the Impression
that the Lord is strenuously at work for
the greatest political knRve of the age,
The fact is indicative OF tho weakness
of the knave's cause. He feelsit neces-
sary to have an endorsement from a re-
ligious stand point His character
needs bolstering, but it is a disgrace
to religion and the ministe-
rial order that a body of
preachers can be found, in their
representative character, too, to attempt
to whten his dark personal and politi-
cal life.
Such scenes bring religion into
contempt and disgust. What have
these ministers to do in n
ministerial capacity with tho poll
tics of the country? Personally lot them
vote as other men do, but professionally
and ministorially let them tend their
llocks and talk CHRIST and not BLAINE
and tho success Of the Repub-
Iican party. Such exhibitions
are nauseating and revolving. For the
honor of tho religion these men profess,
for the sake of decency and in behalf OF
any honest and conscientious Christian
in the country, permit us to protest Wig
orously against such prostitution OF
Christianity, such degradation Of the
ministerial Office and such a low, mser-
able style of Republican campaigning.

BEFORE Fort Worth goes Republican,
"to attract northern capital" the people
there had best profit by the experience
of Galveston, which sent Tom OCHIL-
TREE to congress, as financial scheme,
that did not pan out. They should also
remember that Texas and Georgia have
gotten more northern capital than any
other southern states, because of their
jumbo Democratic majorities being an
assurance of low taxes and honest gov
eminent. This is what investors want,

THE Fort Worth financiers are badly
off if they think voting the Republican
ticket will attract northern capital. The
shrewd Yankee makes no Investments
in the south except in towns and states
which are solidly Democratic. This is
whyGoorgia and Texas have gotten so
muth jmore of it than other. southern
states. Their Democratic vote is tho
largest in the south, hence their increase
in wealth and population. The business
man don't want to invest his capital
where il is badly diminished by the
taxes of a corrupt and eXtravagant gov
ernment. This latest will prove worse
than the many gambling schemes here
tofore resorted to by the people Of the
Fort. The Fort has resolved to combine
the "White Elephant" and Repub.
lican majority.

THE Republicans are uneasy, and the
asult is that BLAINE and his gang are
