cinct station for its centre, the ncighborhood is
under gang rule, and all the satisfaction gained

that people who do not like that sort of thing

One of the results OF the work which Pro-
fessor Adler and his friends are doing III be-
halt OF tonement-house reform is the appoint
ment OF committee to investigate personally
the dwellings of the poor in the neighborhood
of the Bowery aud Division st. This is highly
commendable but We hope that the mem
bers will actually report upon what they find.
Many investigators of this kind have set out to
do this same work within the last few years.
but in some way the public has seldom or never

The Blaine Libel Suit.

The INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL will is
sue about Sept. 18th, a large supple
ment containing history of james
g. Blaine's suit against it, and a
volume Of facts concerning his private

We notice quite q change in the
tone of the press with respect to the
course of the Sentinel in making the
allegations which induced Blaine to
bring q suit for, libel. The course Of
events has, gone far to excuse if not
vindicate the course Of the Sentinel.
The facts seem to sustain the charge,
and one cannot but admire the pluck
with which Mr.. Shoemaker is fighting
the case and carrying the war into

To Allen G.. Thurman.

Well, Judge Norton, the venerable
Dallas patriarch, has been selected
for chief victim by the thoroughbreds.
He is perhaps too old to make a
vigorous canvass, but at long range
he will throw enough vitriol at the
leader of the mongrels to make that
statesman decidedly uneasy. If
Judge Norton and the thoroughbreds
represented any well defined lasting
principle of politics the people of
Texas could afford to sympathize with
them. But, like the mongrels who
have adopted Wash Jones, they have,
for practical purposes,no definite idea
about anything beyond a careful
calculation of the disposal of federal
patronage in the State in the event
of Blaine's election. The row
between the thoroughbreds and
mongrels is battle for spoils, pure
and simple, If Norton can prove
that he will be in the lead, and if
Jones gets the most votes he is almost
certain to be deemed straight by the
powers that be, or that are to be, in
case of Republican success. Neither
the mongrels nor the half-breeds, in
face of the inevitable defeat of both
in the state election, feel really con-
cerned about any political question
in Texas. It is recognition at
Washington they are fighting for

Mrs G. V. Ostrom, the indefatiga-
BILE and hopeful worker who is at the
head of the movement to establish a
home for fallen women in this city,
called on the Express yesterday morn
ing and represents that she has been
most successful in her endeayors at
Austin, Houston and other points in
securing substantial aid for the home
here, and feels very much encouraged
to go ahead with the good work in
which she is taking so much interest.
Mrs. Ostrom is particularly grateful
to the railroad managers and lumber
merchants of Houston, of whom she
speaks in the highestpraise. Besides
giving literally of lumber and money,
they have granted her free Transports
ton for all material that may be need
ed in the construction of the home.
As some misapprehension prevails
regarding her work, Mrs Ostrom
desires it to be understood that all
her work is towards establishing that
institution in San Antonio.-rSan

Gen Walter @. Gresham ofIndiana
was yesterday appointed to be Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in the place of
Charles J. Folger, deceased. This is
a judicious appointment. Gen.
Gresham served with great distinc-
ton as an officer in the civil war.
Among all the volunteer Generals
none was wiser, drawer, or more faith
full than he. For many years after
the war he was Judge of the United
States District Court of Indiana. In
April, 1883, he was appointed Post
master General after the death of
Mr.. Howe, and this post he has like
wise filed in a satisfactory manner.
Gen. Gresham has always proved
himself high. minded, upright, and
vigorous public servant. But will he

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. %, 1885.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ~, 1000.
"For Belva and Reform" is the
battle cry of the National Equal
Rights Party, which has recently
nominated Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood
for the presidency. Belva is great
woman, a lawyer, member of the
bar of the Supreme Court, and she
rides a tricycle. over the smooth
asphalt streets of Washington. She
is q pioneer tricyclist, and Belva and
her tricycle. has been familiar sight
on the streets of Washington for q
long time. She is formidable candi-
date, and just now, her opponents
are resorting to very reprehensible
means of defeating her. Their latest
effort is TO represent that she couldn't
qualify even if she were elected,
because she is only %, while the legal
age is 35. The fact is Mrs. Lockwood
is q fine looking,-really, almost
neutrality-suspicious., gray-haired
lady, and is at least IS years old.
That is,-she is just old enough to be
President and not too old to be an
exceedingly eligible candidate for
matrimony. In fact, the possibility
of a matrimonial alliance which would
unite the Butler and Lockwood
booms has been suggested to Mrs.
Lockwood, but she scorns union and
fusion. She says there is no doubt
of her eligibility under the Constitu-
ton, and she is going to write an
article on that subject. "There is
not a thing in the Constitution that
prevents woman from becoming
President" said the candidate lean
ing back in her office chair. 81 can
not vote, but I can be voted for.
There will be women electors, also.
They cannot vote at the polls, but
they can vote in the electoral college. |
Now, the Chicago Inter Ocean main
tains that 1 am not eligible. The
same paper insisted year ago that
1 could never be admitted to the bar
of the Supreme Court, and that no
woman ever could, and the paper
said this in the face of the statute
admitting me. 1 was admitted in 1879.
These statements are hurting my can
so 1 will write an article on |
the subject setting the matter right"

the party has issued a circular, print
ed in blue ink, calling upon the
friends Of the cause to organize

was its indisposition at the action o
the convention.
But ! notice there are men o.
prominence and influence who com
plain and bolt tho nominees, who
never attend q convention. Why
don't they attend the primaries and
make themselves heard and cast their
votes for the best men' They could
then challenge the votes Of non'resi
dents and otherwise lend their aid
TO the support Of their party. This
would be infinitely better than TO
stand by in silence until the conven-
ton takes some action, and then
grumble at the plate Of candidates
which has been dished out to them.
Did you ever see place the size
Of San Antonio where the different
political meetings were not in mea-
sure "packedf"
If q man scratches q Democratic
ticket because it does not contain
men OF his choice wherein does he
differ from IN Independent II the
Democratic party can afford to nomi-
nate man, I for one, can afford to
vote for that man, for certainly I can
swallow what the Democracy Of Bexar
county can.
Suffice it to say when the Independ-
ents put out their ticket, the Repub-
cans will pool issues with them and
by thus "fusing" will make the race
quite lively and with the personal
following Of the candidates; it is safe
to say the successful ones will about
evenly divide the ticket.
Judge Noonan, who has been
District Judge ever since the war,
will meet with decided opposition in
the person of Senator A. W. Houston,
the Democratic nominee.
1t is not yet known who aspires to
succeed Houston in the Senate, as he
drew long term of four years.
Secundo Escarino who was to have
been hung here last Friday for muir

to life imprisonment by the Governor.

Iudke TeIehmueller.

The last Kyle News contains some
sneers ut the above named worthy
gentleman and his candidacy foI
District Judge. They are clearly
aimed at the Judge, although the
News does not mention his name, as
o courageous and manly antagonist
would have done. BY way OF contrast,
and as illustrating fair and manly
style, We copy the following notice
Of Judge Teichmueller from the Luling
Signal;
The announcement Of this gentle
man for the Office OF District Judge,
appears in the Signal to-day. BY
special request OF our citizens, the
Judge addressed a large and apprecia-
tive audience at Bowers Hall on
Wednesday night Of last week. He
confined himself 10 the great princi-
pies Of the two parties contending for
supremacyin the United States, and
handled his subject in q mastery
manner. He took up the history Of
the two parties and traced their
records down TO the present day,
exposing the corruption praticed by
the republicans to perpetuate their
lease Of power. He recognized the
Democratic party as the party OF the
people, standing as q bulwark Of
defense against the money power,
which was fast forging its chains
around the people. His exposure Of
the unjust determinations Of aprotec-
tive tariff was clear, logical and to
the point, and was made so plain that
all could understand it. The speaker
stated that he had never been q
partizan and the Office to which he
aspired was non political, still he, in
common with his fellow citizens, felt
o deep interest in the triumph Of
those principles which would guaran-
the the fullest protection to the
His speech was well re-
ceived and roundly cheered.
Judge Teichmueller comes among us
as a candidate with the best endorse
ments from his own county as to his
scholarly attainments and high
character as q man. He made many
friends during his visit to our city,
and will get good vote in this sec
lion.
