Prohibition vs.. Democracy.

During our late exciting campaign
on local option, it was charged by
eminent anti-prohibition speakers
that prohibition was and is political
move, and that It could only be made
in the interest of the republican par
ty. In a late number of the COURIER
Journal there is lengthy cores
pondence from Atlanta, written the
day after the election, which fully es-
tablishes the claim. We make liberal
quotations from the correspondence
and call the attention of all true DEM
ocrats to its sinister significance.
Here is a warning, which 1t would be
well for us TO heed. This is the en-
tering wedge which, II driven home,
is to disrupt democracy and split the
"solid south" into q thousand frag-
ments. Let Texas democrats ponder
this lesson well. After the fight had
closed and the result was determined
the correspondent wrote as follows;
The city Is In state of the widest
excitement. Prohibitionists are pa
rading the streets by thousands, and
torches and boLfires light the heav-
ems. This is not, however. the end OF
the prohibition fight. The prohibi
tionists declare that not until the
state Is absolutely prohibition terri
tory will the fight be stopped. Al
ready instructions have been sent
out Nv the leaders in the county to
see that I'll candidates for the state
Legislature. Ter governor, for con
gress and all Other offices should be
pledged to prohibition, This push
ing OF the prohibition question into
he active politics of the state has Is-e- |
tied unbounded excitement in all sec
ions.
The prohibitionists openly declare
heir purpose of only standingby the
democracy in so far as the party
makes itself prohibition party.

j. d. RANKIN, chairman of the state
executive committee of the prohi.
bitionists, will call meeting on the
Sth Of January, preparatory to the
holding of a state convention in May
next. Waco being a central point,
Mr. Rankin is in favor Of calling both
the committee and the convention to
meet at this place, If the proper cour-
tesies are extended by the press and
people. We can only answer for this
paper. The EXAMINER will treat them
liberally and fairly, while it will man
fully oppose any ticket they put in
the field.

Putting IL Right.


From the Sherman Register.
Cotton receipts at Waco continue
to swell daily. Sherman, the largest
grain market in Texas, sends her
congratulations to the best interior
cotton market in the southwest, and
trusts that the planters of the rich
Brazos bottoms may ever remember
the central city, when they market
their cotton. The very name of Waco
is dear to the people of Texas and
her prosperity should be source OF
pleasure to the people of the whole
state. 1t would have been much bet
ter II the new state house had been
started there instead of at Austin.

groes are all actively committed to
prohibition, aud go arm in arm with
their white allies.
IL is clear that an alliance, offensive
and defensive, has been formed be-
tween the republicans aud the prohi-
bitionists, and that the coming state
election and congressional races will
be run on that line. The negroes
were petted and courted all day, yes
terday. An illustration--an old ne
gro strolled into one of the prohibi-
ton campaign luDch.houses yester-
day; he was Immediately set upon by
the white ladies there, covered with
blue ribbons and sent out to vote.
AS soon MS he had gained the side
walk he exclaimed: "Fore God, |
don't know what dis world is comm
to-"
White men and negroes walked
around the polls with locked arms.
James A. Anderson, the chairman
of the prohibition executive commit
tee, has issued an address in which he
calls Especial attention to the impor-
tancc of full registration of the
| friends of temperance for this city
election. Books open at the City
hall, at No. IL Alabama street, and on
Peachtree street. The other side are
registering in full force. II means
mischief"
The attempt to make permanent
party out of the prohibitionists and
| the designation of those not in favor
| OF prohibition as athe other side"
coupled with Judge Anderson's card
of thanks to the republicans and the
negroes, and his ignoring of the
democrats, served to open the eyes OF
the people that there is new issue
upon them which means to stay
John L. Bryant, the notorious carpet
bagger who has worked up the negro
vote against the whites for several
years, and who used to walk the
streets without single recognition,
is to-day one of the political pillars OF
the city aud the most courted man in
1t. 1t is certain that no political
movement in the state, outside OF
what is called by some the "Bourbon
democrat, element, will be inaugura-
ted without taking Bryant into con-
tidential consultation.
These extracts are quite sufficient
10 open the eyes of Jealous democrats
everywhere. What has occurred in
Georgia will inevitably occur in
Texas, and it is the flank attack Of
the enemy, and is most dangerous
because IL strikes us from hitherto
unprotected quarter. Let the true
democrats of Texas note this danger
and arm themselves on every HAND
against it.

som 9 Needed Changes.

The question of increased water
and gas facilities for our city has be- |
come so urgent and imperative that
the average citizen is not disposed to
calmly tolerate further delays, no
matter what may be the pretext or
excuse. The fault hardly lies with
the council, who have, on repeated
occasions, shown themselves ready
TO move forward in prudent and
conservative way, towards supplying
these essential facilities. But the
council are only human, and the
members have been Influenced to
some extent, perhaps, by an idea of
frugality, which is always commend
able except when it comes in con-
flict with public health or safety, and
then protection is cheap at almost any
price. How much longer are we to

into another canvass with the ques-
tions still before the people? Gen
tlemen of the city council, do give us
more light and better light, and ex-
tend and enlarge the water mains and
increase the number of FIRE hydrants
so that the poor man, with a small
cottage, and who lie perhaps not able
to keep the same insured, may have
the same protection from fire that the
business man and wealthy real
estate owner in the central and
business portion of the city has. In
as much as taxes are equal, and every
man has to pay according to his
worth, spread out the lights of the
city, and fire protection, and let al
share alike in its benefits. A contract
with an Electric Light company has
been made, and from this we expected
grand change in the light Of our
city, agood prize was offered them.
but we are very much afraid from the
diltatory action, that they will moi
carry out the contract.
There is being considerable pres

all too small for the present demand
and must be torn out and replaced
with larger ones. This will not b.

into between the city and the waite

No Cure for Chambers.

Chambers is certainly fatal disease,
and as it is virulently contagious when
horse is known to be affected by it the
animal should be killed and buried deep
ly without delay. The law enforces by
heavy penalties this disposition of a CLAN
derous horse. The disease begins with
swelling Of tile glands of the throat;
then white, thin, acid discharge es-
capes from one nostril, and at times
from both. On examination the
membrane Called Schinderian) lin-
ing the nostrils is seen to be of a
livjd or lead blue or purple color, spot
ted with red raw sores or ulcers, having
a deeper colored ring around them.
This last symptom is unmistakable, and
when it appears no doubt remains and
the beast should be put out of suffering
and misery which will certainly ensue.
Death by CHAMBERS is horrible; the
wretched animal slowly rots away and
dies by inches IN extreme torment. At
first the symptoms Of CHAMBERS are much
the.same as those of distemper or nasal
gleet, but when these appear every pre-
caution should be taken against con
tagion.-N. Y. Times.
