II the State political pot is put to
boiling this early in the day, the par
ties that thus push the matter may ex-
pect their friends to finally get pretty
well cooked in 1885, Gatesville Sun.
IN THE PAST TENSE.
{. The Greenville Herald intimates
that General Ross, OF Waco, is run

FINE CROPS.
The growing corn crop all over
Iexas is assured, and farmers may re-
Joice in an expectant abundant yield.
In spite of the ravages of the careless
worm, there is every reason to antici-
pate full average of the fleecy sta
pie this fall Comanche Chief.
THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
The Indian problem could be more
eftectually settled if more shot-guns
and fewer spelling books were used.
The blue backed edition IF Webster as
an Indian civilizer is not a SUCCESS

ENCOURAGING.
The growing corn crop all over Texas
IL assured, and farmers may rejoice in
an expectant abundant yield. In spite
OF the ravages of the careless worm,
there Is every reason to anticipate a
full average Of the fieecy staple this
fall Rockwell Success.
DON'T GIVE TEXAS OUT.
LIZ seems ridiculous to see Georgia
paper boasting of 80 bushels of oats to
the acre when there are so many farms
IN numbers OF counties in this State
that produce from 100 to 1876 bushels
per acre, and have them actually har-
vested and much Of the crop sold.-

4 sHRIvELED PATRIOTISM.
If the Democracy of Texas is con-
tered in the seven senators who voted
against the prohibitory amendment,
then the cardinal principle Of Democ-
racy-the right TO be heard-has
dwindled to small sized plant, and
should be pulled up by the roots.

A QUESTIONABLE ADVERTISEMENT.
1t will require several thousand rain
loads of stone to build our new state
i capital, and will it not be a fine adver-
tlsement OF Texas TO see day after day,
Tor year or two, long freight trains
bringing stone from Indiana here
when in five miles OF Austin is plenty
OF fine stone, and in thirty miles there
ls an almost ineXhauGtihle quantity Of

BUSINESS BEFORE TITLES.
II II has been often and fully demon
strated that man NAV be good
soldier but a poor civil officer, and the
days OF the war record" are num-
bered. The people are awakening to
the fact that their interests lilo in
Choosing their officials from business
mot sentimental standpoint. The
people do not 90 70 a blacksmith to
haye watch repaired, simply because
The blacksmith was good soldier or
toftlcer in either the Northern or South
ern army. All else being equal, the
people may indulge their sentimen-
tality, but in these days man must
have something more than war
record 10 ride into office on, and pros-
ipective candidates should "make q
note on't."-I Gainesville Hesperian-
Times.
ri GET THEE A WOODEN HEAD.
III Our esteemed ballot-box. stufling ex-
enange, the Galveston Tribune, must

q hoax in the all Ve paragraph, The
*Dallas Times may be the Christian
tObservor or tho Herald of Zion in dis
4guise, but it is not a prohibition paper,
save that 1t advocates prohibition In
Fort Worth because in Its unselfish-
ness IL wants our folks 10 come to

regrets very much the inability OF the

RAPE IN TEXAs.
Rape in Texas will be put down. The
papers OF the Stated and all, that we
nave seen, commend the citizens who
hung the Elkhart rapists last week,
and one Of the leading dailies declares
that it was no mob, but was an assem-
bly, OF good citizens that did the work.
This has been the doctrine OF the
North Texan for years, and we are glad
70 know that sentiment Is being
worked up that will not blde the slow
and uncertain process of the law in
such cases. Spot the suspicioned
party or parties, make thorough inves-
tigation, and when guilt is established
hang the brute or brutes to the nearest
tree. Do this quietly, orderly, and
snow that you mean TO protect your
MONIES and your women.-l North

MARSHAL CADELL.
Zen. Cabell has been promoted. lie
mas been made marshal-not OF France
but OF the Northern District ofTexas.
The Democrat congratulates the old
and tried Democrat, who has held
many posts OF honor, both military
and civil, and never betrayed his trust.
AS TO his Democracy, none can doubt;
and his experience in the
OLE army as uuartermaster
wth that of the Same nature in
the ConfederaCy, before he was made
brigadier- general, renders him pecu-
harly lifted TO manage the affairs OF
an Office requiring such close atten-
ton TO minute and strict observance
Of account detail. General Cabell
Will enter upon his new duties with
the heartfelt sympathy OF his many
iriends and Will doubtless choose for
his assistants q corps of Democrats
who will neither distress tho people
by their exactions nor insult them by
Their arrogance Dallas Democrat,
a BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
None but n thorough business man
should become governor of Texas.-
Houston Post.
What the Post says Is true. Texas
wants no political administration, but
abusiness direction OF its affairs. The
administration of Cleveland is emf
nently ? business administration, and
already tho good effects may be seen
In a diminished partisanship. The
governorship OF Texas should not be
used in barter for other political places,
State and national. II the people are
r wise, thoy will insist upon the nomi-
nation of a man for governor
who aspires 20 be governor and moth
ing else; who docs not want to be gov
ernor In order that he may boost him.
/, sell or some one else into the United
States Senate; who has practical
knowledge OF affairs and the expert
enco requisite to give that knowledge
practical expression. The interests OF
The people demand this, and II the peo-
pie do not insist upon a practical, BUSH
moss like administration OF their State
Affairs, the people can have themselves
only TO blame II tho governorship is
used by tho politicians as means OF
promoting private rather than the pub
lilo interests Fort Worth Gazette.
