About three hundred of them re-
fused to ''stand the fall" and quit
work.
In a German settlement near
Duluth, MIMI, some tramps muir
dered a young woman lately mar
riod and after mutilating her body
put it in a hollow log. If the
tramps are caught there will be a
hanging.
CLEVELAND, of New York, seem
to be looming up as the coming
candidate of the Democracy for
president, but so far very little at
tention has been paid TO the second
place. All we want is n man who
can win.
THE Austin Capital is correct in
the assertion that TerrelPs defeat
at the Fort Worth convention was
without any political significance.
1t was due to a combination of cir
cumstances over which Terrell had
no control.
No MAN who writes q book can
be president or governor there
after, says the Fort Worth Gazette.
Gov. Roberts once wrote book
and Blaine has lately written one
1t is hoped that the rule will hold
good in the case of Blaine.
The Fort Worth Gazette has
been turning the crank of a free
grass organ for months and months,
ard now 1t calls all the papers op-
posed to its free grass doctrine,
organs. The pot ought to have
some respect for the Kettle.
The pastors association of Dal-
las has passed a series of resolu-
irons against the present lax d.
vorce laws and suggesting that
they be amended. They also pledge
themselves not to remarry any
guilty party who has been divorc-
ed.
The Galveston Record says that
Seth Shepard appears to be the
coming man, but if he desires the
position, it Is duty he owes to the
public to say so. The inference is
that Shepard is the man to run
against the magnificent Tom Och
iltree.
The Waco Day says men whose
names commence with a &c" have
always had bad luck as presiden-
tial aspirants. 1t probably refers
to Cass and Clay, but we do not
see that tits any reason why Cleve-
land should not be elected if nomi-
mated
IT seems that all the Republican
pilgrims TO Washington were orig
inal Blaine men, but they did not
make this fact known until after
the Chicago convention. The con-
vention had magical effect in
changing the convictions of Office
holders.
Iris becoming disagreeably COM
mon lately, says the Temple Times,
to see most OF the time in school
and college exhibitions taken up
and the audience bored nearly to
death by long-winded speeches by
prominent gentlemen who have an
axe to grind.
THE Bastrop Advertiser is NOV
ed to remark that the effort of two
or three Democratic papers 70
boost Wash Jones for governor
looks very much like an attempt
to keep him out of the congression-
al race, and that it is no credit to
the papers engaged in it.
THE Waco Examiner thinks that
Waco should be the leading city of
North Texas. Dallas and Fort
Worth both claim to be leading
cities now, and just how there is
going to be FIVE OF six leading
cities is question that is much
easier asked than answered.
THE Galveston News on Monday
morning issued splendid 12-page
paper containing elaborate crop
Much guess work is nee
essarily done in making up crop
as not one reporter in a
dozen has any opportunity ofmak-
ing a personal investigation.
THE Statesman says, &c. Wash
ton Jones will not be in the con-
gressional race. He flies his fall
con at lottier game, does G. W."
Also: "Wash Jones is surely in
the race for gubernatorial honors."
1t would afford the Statesman
great pleasure to see ireland de-
feated.
