THE New York gubernatorial can
vass has begun in earnest. Many
Democrats, however, complain that
the Presidents hardness in recog-
nizing the services of prominent par
tisans in that State, by appointing
them to offices now held by Repub-
licans, is depressing the spirits OF the
party, discouraging its leaders and
impairing its compactness, and that
it will go into the next campaign
under disadvantages. But the
independent Republicans assert
that the Presidents policy is really
strengthening the administration
party i'll New York by increasing the
assertions of Republicans to 1t; that
the large body of civil-service re-
formers attracted to it by the Presi-
dents considerate and moderate man
agement will make 1t invincible, and
that with good nominations it will be
able easily to elect it's ticket. Should
tt Democrats lose New York it may
be accepted as a rebuke to the Glove
land Administration,

THE Dallas Times says: The
COW men on the neutral strip"
need not think they have the world
by the tail with down hill pull. If
they cut up too much Mr.. Lamar
may conclude to order them off the
the strip, and It will require only
few of Uncle Sans idle soldiers to
enforce the order. Everybody has
the same right on that strip of ter
.ritory and possession amounts to
nothing. We would like to see trail
agreed on but it is folly for cowmen
in Texas or elsewhere to threaten to
prevent the drive by force. If any
cowman starts through with herd
and keeps within the law and on
unenclssed land, it IS safe to bet that
Governor Ireland will see him through
to the Texas line if it requires ten
rangers to each herd.

The revelations in recent Phila-
delpfia divorce case show to what
length a man will go in his endeavor to
free himself from woman of whom
he has become tired. Detectives were
employed, at the suggestion of law
yers, to shadow the wife's movements
plots against her virtue were formed
and it was only by the greatest cir
cumspection and the warning ut one
of the female detectives employed to
work up the case against her, but who
had become Disguised with the vile
means used, that the wronged woman
was prevented from falling into the
trap set for her. Such exposures
arouse Indignation in every honest
mind, bring reproach upon the legal
profession, and show the base uses to
which the detective system may be
devoted.

Women nd DecorativA Art.
From the Philadelphia News.

FTOlH Ills Iullduclpuld N0WS.
Seven years ago the sale of objects
of decor tive art made by women
was almost unknown. Since that
time societies of decorative art have
been established in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore. st.
Louis, Buffalo, Rochester and San
Francisco. The statistics Of these
societies show that they have paid
for works of decorative art produced
by women over half million dollars;
by no means a small amount when
the length of time and novelty of the
work TO the work to the American
public are considered. There is no
class Of work for which WON, n who
are physically or by circumstances
unified for active work in the world
are better adapted. Lace-making.
painting, embroidering, tapestry
weaving, modelling and carving, can
be as well done in the mountains Of
North Carolina as in New York City.
OF course, experience is required
to know what sort of work Is desir-
able, but the several societies supply
that information as for as possible.
Provided that a woman has good
taste in design, and left hand to
eXeeute, the field of decorative art
affords them rare chances for making
names and money at the least vexa-
ton and expense.

THE recent dispatch respecting the
Houston s. Texas Central Railway
has called attention to the affairs OF
that corporation. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped the road-one OF the Oldest ia
vorites in Texas, and of Texas
will get over its difficulties
and eventually come out on top, as it
deserves. Whatever else may result
from the receivership, the public
would evidently be eminently satisfied
with the retension of the present
management, including Messrs. Wal
do, Swanson, Faulkner, and others,
who are known to the people and
have their confidence. The difficulties
of the Central are another argument
against anti-railroad legislation in
this State, and the killing of the
goose that lays the golden egg"
