SHERMAN, Junell.-LSpecisl. IA new
law book is out, the title to which is
most singular. Law writers title their
books by the name of the author, fol-
lowed by the subject ON which the
books treats. Thus wo have, "Best on

habitants by scattering everywhere
the germs of infection and
fatal disease; that the elevation to
important and honorable offices of the
government of unrepentent rebels
whose political disabilities have not
been removed, is fragrant violation OF
the constitution and an insult to the
loyal people of the whole country, and
we denounce the administration of
President Cleveland for its general dis
| elimination in the appointments so far
made against Union soldiers and in
favor of men who fought against the
Union. The Republican party, which
enacted the present civil service law
Will faithfully maintain it and cheer

give it full force and it is committed to
extend the law to all grades of service
to which it is applicable, and ample ap
preparations should be made to enforce
1t in letter and spirit and all laws
at variance with the objects of existing
reform in legislation should be re-
pealed. Having accomplished this
much the party pledges itself to still
further and higher reform. IL looks
with deepest regret upon the failure OF
the present administration to promote
the reformsot their civil service, so aus
piciously begun under Republican adj
ministration. The Republican party of
Ohio demands the repeal of the
limitation contained in the Pension
Arrears Act of 1878, that all
invalid soldiers shall share equally and
their pensions begin with the date of
disability or discharge, and not with the
date OF application. We denounce the
Democratic party for the destruction of
| the Scott law and the consequent in
crease of the burdens Of taxation upon
all property and the abandonment OF
an annual revenue of S2,0O0,000, and
while recognizing the peoples right to
| amend the organic law, we demand the
enactment Of such legislation as
will give us the most practical
and efficient regulation for taxation
! liquor traffic attainable under the con-
stitution. We denounce the Demo-
cratic Legislature for its treachery to its
| pledge on the subject of contract labor,
and arraign its incompetency and ex-
travagance in the management of the
penitentiary; we denounce the present
Democratic general assembly
for Its extravaganza, corruption
and wanton diregard of the
true interests and Of good name of
oar State. The Republicans of Ohio in

Ulysses S. Grant our warm sympathy

A QUESTION for Prohibitionists: Does
prohibition prohibit Maine, with a
population of 100000, has been pro-
hibition State for, say 20 years. The re.
turns from the Internal Revenue de-
partment show that 500 persons pay
license in that State for tho sale of
liquors. Texas, with population fully,
or more, than twice that of Maine, with
no prohibition restrictions, shows only
l,lOO licenses to sell liquor, 1t would
be interesting to know how many
saloons we're in operation in Maine be-
fore the constitutional clause was
adopted, and how many now are deal
ing out the fluid. THE HERALD Is TAX
ing no active part for or against the war
on liquor, but 1t would be pleased to
know why Maine, Kansas and Iowa are
regarded as the heaviest consumers of
spurious liquors, while other States
where there are no restrictions on Its
sale, are regarded as, comparatively
speaking, temperance States. 1t is a
pertinent question.

Times gives the following reason for

OVilla NOtes,

0vILLA, June ll,-[Special. The
Ovilla Sunday school gave a picnic last
Saturday which was splendid affair.
Professor g. n. Ousley, of Waxshachie,
delivered an address which was enter
tanning and highly spoken OF by those
who heard him. The class rendered
some good music, then dinner; well it
is too well-known what the Ovilla
neighborhood always does in the mat
ter of getting up picnic dinner to need
comment here. In the evening the
Waxahachie and Midlothian base ball
clubs played match game, in which
the WaXahachlo boys carried off the
honors by score of A to Is.

commencement exercises of Trim

be good.
A freight wagon just n from Dallas

ARLINGTON takes all the chances to
stop the sale of liquor in that place.
The last meeting of their council pro-
hibited the sale and fixed the penalty
for the violation of the ordinance on the
subject at not less than $25 nor more
than $500. "The World" says if any
one drinks in Arlington he must do so

This creates vacancy in the United States senate from Arkansas to be filled by the legislature now in session. Please lay the matter before the legislature that the vacancy may be filled at as early day as possi- bls. In surrendering the trust so generously confided to me by the State, I do so with the most pro found regard for her interests and with a full determination to work for them as we'll as those of the whole country, and with the deep est gratitude for the cordial sup. port she has always given me. With kindest regards and best wishes, Yours very truly,

CITIZEN.


 Citizen" being a member of the school board, should be thoroughly conversant of their motives for adopting the new regulation, which debars a considerable portion of the community from the privileges of the free school. While we rec ognize the motive as purely just and good, we beg leave to differ with them as 10 their plan ofaction being in perfect accord with 1t. Doubtless the school has been i'm posed upon, and move to free it from imposition is laudable, but could not teach ers, cooperating with the board of directors and visitors ascertain who have moved into the town for the express pur. pose of securing the advantages of our excellent school without pay2 Some families are here necessarily, trom other causes, and the new regulation bears hard upon them. We might instance the class of people who live on rented homes, here this year and there next year, and the two ministers of the Cos pei here, and our Sheriff, and our jailor. Extend the principle of ac- ton and its injustice can be seen. A large per cent of tho people of this country make frequent remOv- als of necessity. Every man can not have permanant home. There are many, and these are generally poor, whose trades and profes- siOns require them to frequently move their families, and, being poor, they cannot consult their own pleasure as to when they will move, and how long they will stay. The free school system is meant to make the rich man help the poor. Then let him do it.
 4 friend at our elbow sugiests that perhaps some of the members Ct the school board may have some scholar hips they would like vuy well to dispose of.
