New YORK, July 5.-In the Ascot races
for 1882, J. r. Keene's horse Foxhall was the
winner of the famous gold cup. The Gus
tom house officials refused to pass the
valuable trophy unless duty was paid
upon it to the amount of As per cent of in
trinsic value. Mr.. Keene demurred to this
payment and the cup was consigned to the
seizure room. Ii the government insists upon
the payment of duty Mr. Keene will ship the
cup back to England, as he says he will not
permit it to be treated as an article of
merchandise.

Wants Another Republican Maker. /"

The Fort Worth GAZETTE Insists that the
convention at Houston will have to consider
the question OF whether tho people of Texas
Will make u certain class OF citizens pay a
reasonable rental for property of the whole
people they use for their own individual
benefit,or whether they will go down In their
pockets for that amount OF money 10 pay
for the education of the children of the state.
In other words, whether the people at large
will pay "a large sum of money out OF their
pockets In order that n comparatively few of
their number shall have free ran 10 for their
stock; whether the state shall pay n boonty
of from four'to twenty cents per acre To cat
tlemen to Craze their herds on public lands.
The public lands are occu. led by herds Of
cattle, and these lands are worth &c tain
sum per acre or certain sum per annum
rental, and We do not believe the conven-
| tion will stop a nom ent To consider the ques-
tion Of whether the whole people or u lew
shall have the benefit of them.--San Antonio
| Express.
THE GAzETTE takes no pleasure in
the announcement, but the simple
truth is, If 1.-THE convention refuses
to consider the question it will wish it
had before the ballots are counted in
November. The people of Northwest
Texas do not relish the idea of being
denied what has been accorded to all
other sections of Texas. and of having

Dangar From Two snnrnss.

The sheepmen of Texas, in their re-
cent state convention, adopted reso-
luton to support no man as a candi-
date for office who was opposed to the
protection OF the wool industry. AS
the Democrats, in state convention,
have declared against the protection of
any industry by a tariff tax, and as
the Democratic candidates for state
Offices are to stand on that platform,
1t must be presumed that this cuts of
the support Of the wool growers of the
state.
The threatened detection of Demo-
Gratis in the Northern and Western
counties If the Houston convention
shall fail to declare for the repeal of
the lease laws will cost the party many
thousands of votes in those sections.
Though they have adopted no resolu-
ton to that effect in convention, the
farmers of the Northwest do not con-
ceal their purpose to oppose the candi-
dates of any party that will not
promise them free grass to raise their
cattle on while they are cutting out
farms and "p!owing up rain from the
soil.u
| With any candidate opposed to the
Democrats who Is able to carry the
vote of the disconnected farmers and

the loss of Democratic votes will

Tux Republicans have already be
gun the work of defense. This will
encourage a scramble for the Demo-
cratic nomination impelled by an idea
of Biaine's weakness. This Is the
Democratic danger. A weak nomina-
ton by the Democratic party will re-
call to Blaine all who have deserted.
Grover C1eveland's majority Of nearly
200, 00o was the result of Republican
dissatisfaction ut Foger's nomination
for governor, and is no reason why he
should expect nomination for presi-
dent. The essence Of antagonism to
Blaine is Bayard. The thing to do is
to beat Blaine. The Republican party
must be prevented from supporting
him, and the only way to do 1t is by
antagonizing him in the person of the
Democratic nominee, and no man rep
resents this antagonism more fully
than Bayard.
