He found opportunity to proclaim, in an indis-

warm tribute to James G. Blaine, which was
the more telling because wholly unexpected.
Referring to a due subordination of ones indi-
vidual preferences for the sake Of winning men,
the Bishop said: HAllow an illustration. There
is city where vast manufacturing interests

people are justly proud Of their position as a
manufacturing center, and slightly sensitive
about any allusions to their limited sunlight.
A minister came to that city to preach trial
sermon. He opened his irst service with ex-
cessive coughing, aad exclaimed: This smoke
is exceedingly offensive and irritating to my

Nor can we see where a representa-.

duties he was elected to discharge,
Even in vacation. the real and true

return TO congress he may give

Once before in the discussion of
the two-thirds rule and In its defense
OF that safety valve Of party action,
THE STATESMAN had occasion to al
lude to the fact that it was not only
extremely doubtful as to whether a
mere majority in the convention
would represent majority of the
constituents, but that it was well
nigh impossible for it to do 80. This
fact should never be forgotten by the
honest men who are persuing the dis
cussion with the one fair and legiti-
mate purpose Of finding the truth in
order to plant themselves firmly upon
it, and for very truths sake alone
OF course conventions are intended
to be representative, they are valua-
bic when they are so, but
utterly mischievous and harmful
when such Is not the case. In the
event of a two-thirds majority there
is always much more than a bare GER
tainty that the choice represents the
majority of the constituency. If such
is the case it Is certain that unless by
a great accident. an improbable con-
junction OF circumstances the mere
majority rule operating In conven-
tions would place the minority In
power at the ballot box. Right here

dition of the body polite. The con-
spicuous absence of any such general
manifestation among the people
of Texas at present affords good
grounds for grave apprehension and
pertinent inquiry by every lover of
good and pure government. There is
no lack of live and important ques-
tons for public consideration. The /
free grass and fencequestion interests

every farmer in the state. The land |
policy in regard to university.
school and asylum lands Is a question
of vital interest to every citizen, and |
especially SO to the friends of educa- |
ton, to stockmen, and to owners of
lands lying contiguous to these state
lands. The control of railroads by the
state for the protection OF its pc ople
from injustice and oppression, inter
ets every producer. every consumer,
every traveller in Texas. The liquor
traffic is matter of thought and in
terest in every enlightened end moral
community. These are impor-
tant matters Of state policy,
upon which democrats differ very
widely, as shown by discussion
in the eighteenth legislature. They
have been discussed, compromised or
postponed; but none of them settled,
to the satisfaction of the people. If
these questions were fairly before the
people, in the selection Of their state
officials, there would be no lack Of in
terest manifested upon the part of the
public.
| Under the present system of nomi-
nations and selection, what oppor-
tunity have the people at large, to
manifest an interest In questions
that concern them? What do they
know of the opinions Of our
public men, candidates for offices2 Is
there not a studied effort, and
powerful influence being exerted to
keep from the people any expression
upon these questions? There is a
studied silence upon them until the
primaries are fixed, conventions are
held, nominations are made, and then
all good democrats are expected to

telligent democrats object to being
handled in this manner. They dislike
to see our democracy drifting into
the machine methods of the northern

of lack of entire harmony in the state
administration continuity coming to
the surface, there are more of restless
ness among the influences outside
which have been ut work to
secure the second term as a senatorial
stepping-stone for his tired, and to be
retired excellency. So little regard
has been paid to the wishes
and feelings of the mudsills
of the arrangement that they
are beginning to be troublesome in
their inquiries as to why these things
should be. There is great glory in be-
longing to a perfectly and uniformly
successful clique, but afterawhile
when the cake has had so many fair
chances to come over our way and
does not, the keen edge of satisfaction
is not only blunted, but it is often
turned "end for end" and positive
open and bitter war ensues. People
do not spend their lives in giving up
their friendships, their hatreds, and
their ambitions for others, without
grumbling. This, all of it, has
been done by many friends Of Sen
ator Coke who sympathized
with him in the original bad under
standing existing between the then
simple sage of Seguin and himself.
This surrender of natural feeling was
generally made and it has continued
so long with so many charming effects,
so far as the governor and the senator
are personally concerned, and so many
more are in plain sight Immediately
ahead of them, and the future, both
near and remote, is so barren of good
possibilities for these friendly in1u-
ences, that they are becoming hopeful
ly FESTIVE under it, and something
may yet be done in this way before
August rolls her burden OF political
veal OF woe to the Houston conven-
ton.
Gen. L. S. Ross is an instance, OF
this enforced self-abnegation, and
while apparently he is satisfied album
dainty with 1t, yet he has myriads OF
attached friends all over the state, who
are not satisfied. This is a lump OF
the glittering gold which is not gold
and neither does it glitter much, save
by courtesy. The fact is there is wide
spread dissatisfaction both in and out
side of administration lines. 1t re
mains to be seen If congressional anC
administration organization can KEEP
things together until after tht
Houston convention or not. All de-
ponds upon that, and that rests upon
basis as unstable and unsafe as thu
shifting sands on a wave washed
beach. All! indeed, may the fact that
"all is lot gold that glitters' be giver
new end terrible significance, moi
only to the present administration
but to its hackers who stand both out
in the broad sunlight. as in the shad
ows of a mysterious and well-nigh i'm
penetrable policy, as selfish and incon
siderate of the interests Of others, as il
is of the feelings of its opponents.

Not All Gold That GIltters.

It is safe to conclude that there are
many heartburnings in the present
state administration which have not
yet reached the surface, as others
have. Governor Ireland is one of those
self contained, silent men who make
but little noise on the surface, while
of iron and unbending will. They
stride on over the feelings and wishes
of others in way so disregardful of
them that they leave behind bruises,
scars, and half-healed wounds, always
fruitful in the production of those
conditions which destroy harmony.
Governor Ireland's term of office has
been so brief that up to this time
these effects have not appeared on
the surface, or, at least, not
sufficiently defined and well
understood to indicate the measure of
unrest and dissatisfaction which really
exists. Within the lines of the state
administration all is not lovely, and a
small hacking and bushwhacking OPP
position to the executive will has been
going on steadily since the Inaugural
ton. Many things have been said,
many hints have been dropped as to
this feeling, but, with a forbearance as
rare as it Is commendable, the opposi-
ton to the Ireland policy has refrained
from handling the matter, or, of
fsnning the smouldering embers
into flame, till now. 1t has re-
ceived small credit for its for
bearance up to this time, and it
will be curious to note how long
the opposition W Iii refrain under the
contemptuous treatment it has re-
ceived, and is still receiving at the
hands of the administration. The
governor is strong. There can be no
denying this. The means used to
cover up and conceal the numerous
glazing and gross mistakes in policy
committed by the administration,
have been skillful and adroit.
Every edge has been made
to cut with keenest sweep The
"bulge" was taken on the people
at the start, and the tactics have
brought his excellency to near the pc
Rod of his first term in comparative
safety. but viii it last through the |

In the matter of representation to

too particular or too earnest in our
search for the best man. Yesterday

Terrell in this connection. No better
mar could be named. AS we are enti-
tied to two we will be pardoned II we
suggest that Col. Breckenridge would
fill the bill most admirably for the
other. He is a Staunch, true demo-
crat, and one that the people may
safely trust in this or any other posi-
ton where faith, honor and deathless
devotion to the party and its time

ridge Is delegatethe free trade plank

County Finances.

The financial statement of Travis
county for the past four years, begin
ming January 10, 1880, is published in
to-days paper, and the showing as to
the condition of the county is certain
ly very satisfactory and extreme
ly creditable to the Off
Gals who have so faithfully
managed its affairs. AS will be seen
during the years 1901 the bonded
Indebtedness was reduced from $149,-
600 to $4,000, and the 10 per cent.
converted into 6per cent. bonds. Since
then there has been further reduc-
ton to $65, OO0, and with this there has
also been areduction of taxes from 25c
to 15c in the last three years, and
the officials are confident. OF their
ability to reduce the taxes to 10 cents
in another twelve months or sooner.
With the exception of McLennan the
taxes in Travis are lower than in any
other county in the state. The
school lends of the county have
been leased for ten years
for $14, OF in money and S6,C 10 in i'm
provements, and their PR lent value
is between $4,000 and $4,000.
Too much credit cennot be given to
Judge Fillmore for his able manage
ment and faithful attention to the on
erous duties of his Office. His associ-
ates in office also deserve credit and
the thanks of the people for their
unceasing efforts in behalf of the coun-
ty. Judge Fillmore is in favor of a
free bridge, and thinks that, within
twelve months, the county can either
buy the one at the foot of Congress
avenue, or build new one at some
other place without perceptibly in
creaSing t9Xation.
