districts have word to say-not in de-
rision of your pastime nor in contempt
but simply by way of advice and admo-
milton.
The frolic you propose over the cap
ture of fox is only in the nature OF a
picnic az best. City people are doing
the business, and they neither know the
nature of the fox nor the best method
of pursuing him. The society of humaui-
taiians,of which Mn. BshoH is the chief,
would have as much right to stop you in
your efforts to catch and kill fat fox a.
IL would to discontinue your amuse-
nent and arrest you for chasing do
nestle cat. You are not hunters
ONLY imitators of English gentry or Vir-
gina sporlsmen-and deliberately take
a poor brute to satisfy your IDEAS of APP
pearance in society, or members of a
club or organization which proposed the
amusement for the purpose of dignity
ing the organization. The brute has
just AS much claims to public sympathy
as you have, and when he escapes, the
true fox hunter is rejoiced that your
Surroundings have not encompass ed
old Reynard.
Hunting foxes is sport generated by
tho necessities of the country where
foxes are numerous and afterward bv
the habits which such pursuits had
created. Now all thus hunting foxes
from New York and Washington is
simply apiece of nonsense at which the
true foX-bunting people laugh. Go to
work with your society business; have
your germans and your elite assemblies
Ia all their varieties, hut don't try to
initiate an agricultural people in their
peculiar sports and diversions. We
hunt foxes that have never been caught
and domesticated; we leap streams
with cliffy banks aud course through
fields enclosed with hedges; we ride the
mustang that turns up his nostrils mt
corn, and our hounds have noses un-
polluted by meat diet. Your idea is fun
ana amusement; ours is to catch the fox
aud see who is the hest man in the
business. Your notion, too, is to he
signalized AZ good riders. We are all
good riders, and no distinction can he
made by the catch. The HER LID would
advise that more attention be paid to
the appearance at the inauguration ball
aud less to the silly and unnatural
pastime Of running down bloated and
plethorzed foxes.

LAND was elected by the same numbe,
OF votes, The similarity of the two sue.
oesses may not be apparent to some, but
to Others may be suggestive.
GEN. JACKSON was elected AZ n time
when the FEDERAL ideas had not been
abandoned; when IL was not altogether

or those of MADISON and JEFFERSON
prevailed in the great republic. lie was
the peoples choice aud was pledged 10

monopoly in all It's manifestations, and
apeopIe's man in opposition to even
hall way rotainers of an aristocratic
idea. He had done substantial service
TO his country, aud tho citizens desired
10 honor him.
In the matter of the late election, the
voters were called upon to decide be.
tween GROVER CLEVELAND, a man OF
the people, whose whole lie had been
devoted TO their service, and whose
great state had endorsed him asa man
OF eminent executive ability and
JAMES G. BLAINE, trained politician,
whose whole political career showed
him to be a politician in the interest Of
honopolies and corporations. Starting
from poverty, he acquired wealth by
STANDING in" with parties who had
bills before tho congress over which he
presided. BY such proceedings he be.
came wealthy, and used 1t to secure his
nomination by the party in power, to
continue their regime. He was man
from the people but not of the people,
He had never rendered personal service
to the cause of which he pretended to be
tho chief advocate, but hired substi.
tute and crowed over victories as though
no had been tho cock that won the great
Fight of tho main. From the mere
standpoint OF congressional debate
distinction he aspired to the highest
hcnors OF tho nation.
Mr. CLEVELAND, on the contrary, has
mover enriched himself; has never
sought Office; has never been the tool of
corporations; has been tho servant of
the people by their own selection and
was chosen by them against the protest
OF the leading politicians of the Demo-
cratic party. If the number of electoral
votes cast for him In their identity with
that given to "old Hickory" betolens n
similarity OF administration, the Demo
Grade party will NOT renina.

TIE San Antonio Express says: al
though Gov. In LAND has not yet beer
inasgurated for his second term, Ia
which he was elected in November, the
question of who shall succeed him a
little more than two years hence is
being discussed. OF course this could
only occur in North Texas, and the Dial
las HERALD st nds confessed as the
guilty party, though 1t claims that the
discussion is extensive. When Texas
is divided, the state composed of the
Dallas section will doubtless hold gen.
eral elections once a month. In that
way the happiness of its people uld
be assured" or course; but the HER
AID will never be mixed up with a
mongrel set Of men, composed of black
spirits and white, styling themselves
the "0ne Hundred" organized to do
feat the Democratic nominee. Sabe?
