overcome the Democratic majority.
Speaking to a friend of the scheme,
he thus expressed himself; 81 have
got farm where / raise horses
and cattle. There are ten or dozen
men employed there the year round
They never give satisfaction and they are
never satisfied. They all vote the Dem
ocratlc ticket / have been thinking
about sending South for good colored
nelp to take their places. That
set me to thinking why it was not prob
able there were other men in the state
who were fixed just as am, who would
like to do the same thing. From that
have been studying the possibilities of a
general colonization scheme. 1t wouldn't
take much effort to bring 10000 good,
lively colored men into this state between
now and 1885, They would make the
state solidly Republican. IL wouldn't
cost a fraction OF the money we usually
spend on the state, and would be much
moro certain in It's effects. There could
be no opposition to such a scheme from
Democrats, because they are constantly
encouraging the landing of new labor at
Castle Garden from the old country But
apprehend the Southern politicians
would raise the biggest Kind Of howl.
Well they might, for if the people North
should set about such thing as this it
would take all the best colercd men of The
South and leave them only the shiltless,
improvideut and vicious. That would be
hard lines, and to prevent it they would
be forced at once to give the blacks bet
ter treatment"
If the colonization Of 10000 negro
voters in New York will cost less than is
usually spent by the Republicans to carry
that state, we have an approximate idea
OF the size Of the corruption fund used by
them to debauch voters. The negroes
could hardly be brought from the South
and their expenses paid until an election
for less than $50 piece, and at this rate
%, 900 of them would cost 81 100000.

TILE HOTEL I'VE NEED.

THE GAZETTE Is sim agitating for a new
hotel at Fort Worth. Keep it up and the hotel
will bo built.-IGalycsto Tribune.
Fort Worth needs and should have a
hotel building that VIII comport with the
pretcusions and progress Of the city, and
nothing less will answer. We want here
In For. Worth hotel building that viii
be to Texas what the Southern of St.
Louis is to Missouri, what the Palmer Is
to Illinois, the old Gayoso to Tennessee,
the ST. James and ST. Charles to Louis
lana and the Kimball to Georgia, We need
and should have a really frst-class hotel
building in size and appointments, and
there would then be LETT demand here for
all the smaller-sized hotels we have or are
likely to have. Every business man who
has noted the effect on municipal growth
and importance Of ilna hotels knows this
to be true. Chicago and San Francisco
owe much OF their pre.eminence to
hotc 8, and Fort Worth would profit in
the same way. The Beach hotel has car
ried thousands of people to Galveston,
and yet the bathing there is no finer on
the island now than it has been in the
past. The present hotel registration Of
this city is a guarantee Of patronage sui
acient to probably maintain the hotels
we now have and one or two more of the
same capacity What we need is hotel
building that will attract hotel patronage
which now avoids this city, and the sooner
we set about an effort to supply this need
the sooner we shall supply the greatest
need of the city, put stop to the daily
loss we incur because of it, and remove
the most serious impeachment to the city's
attainment of its legitimate ambition and
hopes.

The management of the American expo
sitlon at New Orleans are to be congratu-
lated upon the sagacity and wisdom they
are exhibiting in combining with the
attractions OF the exposition itself, some
unusual features which cannot fail TO be
additional incentives TO the favor and
patronage of the public.
The exposition proper has at this time
over forty acres of space covered and
Allied with exhibits. They alone present
almost irresistible inducements for attend
ance, especially in view of the fact that it
is probably the last great international
exposition OF this century. But with the
unusual attractions provided by the man
agemcnt, our readers would certainly be
derelict to their own interests and pleas
ure if they failed to attend.

On to sabine Pass.


The Corsicana 6 Sabine Pass railroad
will be built--it must be built. We have
gone too far to stop. Our future depends
upon it, Property-holders and business
men, take time during the holidays, stop
and think, think of the connection it will
give Corsicana with the outside world,
the great markets of the North and East.
With this road, Corsicana would be the
leading distributing point for lumber in
Central Texas. 1t would enable her mer-
chants to compete with any market in the
state. 1t would reduce freights on the
shipments OF our products. 1t would
place us on an equal footing with any city
in the state in trade. 1t is our future
life. Then come up, as one people of
Navarro and Corsicana, give all you can
possibly spare, make up the amount and
say go on to Sabine Pass, and the future
of Corsicana will be fixed. 1t must be
built

If there are two men in the country
who deserve to be hanged they are Ford
and Murphy of New Orleans. a Jury
found them guilty of the cruelist and
most cowardly assassination, and yet the
governor of Louisiana has for the third
time rcprieved them from the gallows and
postponed their execution, This eXccu-
tive leniency in dealing with felons SEN
fenced to capital punishment probably is
one reason why iuries are so averse to
finding capital verdicts, since they are so
seldom carried out.

COLoNIZING NEGROES IN NEW
YORK.

The desperate fortunes of the Repub-
licans are causing their leaders to look
about for some venture that will enable
them to retrieve their lost ground. The
absolute necessity of winning back New
York, which appears TO have taken posi-
tion among the Democratic states, is
calling their earnest attention To that
state, and many suggestions are made to
bring II back to the Republican party.
None, however, have met the general APP
prevail of the leaders, as none, It is to be
presumed, offer any chance OF success.
Among others, the following scheme
shows TO what extent they viii so to
manufacture Republican majority in
New York.

for a number Of years the Republican col
lcctor of that port, proposes TO COLOMBO

Frequent assertions that the presidents
policy is weakening his party and will
result in its overthrow, cause one to ex-
anime the grounds of support for such
assertions. The only evidence we have
to Judge OF the future 5 the record OF the
past. II the party has been losing ground
since Mr.. Cleyeland's inauguration, it
will probably continue TO lose ground
until it passes again to minority party,
unless he reyerses his policy. If it has
not lost, but has gained, since the pres
ldent's policy was put in operation, the
same rule of evidence win lead us to con-
clude that it is in no danger.
Several general state elections have
been held since the last national election,
when the Democrats won their victory,
and iu no state that was carried then has
there been shown any diminution
of Democratic strength Quite to
the contrary, there have been de-
cided gains, either by larger maiorities
for the Democrats or smaller maiorities
for the Republicans. This was notably
the case In New York and Virginia where
the Democratic majorities of ll49 and
Gl4l were increased to $4,000 and 10000
respectively In Iowa, Michigan, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio the Re
publican majorties of 1884 were largely
cut down, and in some of those states
were almost wiped out In the legisla-
tive elections in Connecticut and New
Jersey, the Republican maiorities in the
present legislatures were all but changed
to Democratic majorties, and the aggre
gate Democratic majortics on Legislative
candidates were largely in excess Of the
Republican maiorities. SO, too, in the
| city elections there have been uniform
| Democratic gains The Democratic can
didate for mayor OF Boston was elected
last week by 5000 majority, against {
Democratic majority in that city last yea
of less than 2O00
We can see nothing in these results L
discourage Mr.. Cleveland or cause him t.
forsake the way of reform. Whercve
the people have spoken they have ap
proved his course. Disappointed spells
men may croak their dismal forebodlngs
but nobody listens. The party is stronge
now than it was in 1884, and under
reform administration 1t will be stronge
in sSs than it is now.
