SOME of the papers suggest that Logan
would feel delicacy in being elected to a
place by his fellow senators for which the
majority of the people rejected him.
Not him. These papers do not know
John Logan. He would feel no delicacy
in accepting, in any way, place, for
which an eminent politician of his state,
now visiting Texas, in answer to an inter-
rogatory whether or not he would get the
position, said: 81 hope not He is not
large enough for it, nor could he get out
of his shoes to fit so high a position.
Edmunds is the man. He is too large to
be governed in great matters by small
partisanship, for which Logan is distin-
gulshed." And this man is a republican,
who represented his district in Illinois in
congress.

IT shows what an honest hard worker
in congress can do in twenty years. It is
true his salary in that time would not
amount to more than 100000, and it
would cost the average congressman about
that to keep house in the city of magnif-
cent distances, but John Sherman, who
went there about twenty years ago very
poor, sold the other day to Alfred M.
Hoyt, for 99,593.48, the entire ground in
the subdivision of Columbia Heights in
the city of Washington. If member of
congress watches the turn of the cards in
the lobby and gets in all his votes at a
good price, in the course of twenty years,
he can make as much money as John
Sherman or James G. Blaine has in that
time? They were both very poor when
they went to congress, they are now mil
ionaires.

The prohibition papers advise voters to
carry their religion with them to the bal

was something that could be wrapped up
in one of Dickens "Whiteytown paper

carried about for use on special occasions.
A man who has any religion ingrained into
his nature is compelled to carry it wherever
he goes, but the kind that a man carries

Capt Male opened the debate and was
followed by Col. Robertson, thus giving
the former the customary close. The
crowd yelled vociferously again for Col
Robertson. but that gentleman declined to
speak further than to refute certain
charges against him about using detectives
for electioneering purposes.
After this regular pandemonium ruled
the hour and all efforts to restore order
were utterly futile. In the midst of the
din drunken white man, who cursed an
officer, was lugged off to the calaboose.

LITTLE MEL.

In yon fragrant, vine-clad cottage
Lives my charming little Nell;
And nv footsteps love to wander
Through the green, surrounding dell.
Oh. she's fairer than all the flowers!
And her charms no tongue can tell.
Like some bright, bewitching vision,
Is my bonnie, fairy Nell
Hair that rivals summer sunbeams,
Ewes like violets bathed In dew,
IiDs like luscious. ripe, red cherries,
Cheeks like reddest roses hue.
Oft she throws me saucy Kisses
From her fairy finger tips:
While a smile half shy, half tender,
Plays around her dewy lips.
Well. she loves mech, my darlingI
Words my love can never tell,
Death itself Can never sever
Love like mine for little Nell.
When the purple evening shadows
Softly steal across the dell;
And the calm, pale moonbeams qulver,
l will meet my gentle Nell.
By the streamlet we will wander,
Meath the quiet summer sky.
Where the mystic stars are SHINING,
And the bright waves sparkle by
When the Frost Kings magic fingers
Weave bright colors through the dell,
To nv home in yonder valley
/ viii lead my bride, sweet Nell

THE BENCH AND BAR OF TEXAS BY JAS
D. LYNCH-AUTHOR OF "HEROES OF
THE SOUTH s'KU KLUX TRIBU-
NAL o'clock OF DESTINY,
"KEMPER COUNTY VINDI-
Gated 1.-THE BENCH
AND BAR OF MIS-
SISSIPPI"
SISSIPPI.

This work published by the author, Col.
James D. Lynch, has been completed in
the short time of one year, but it never
theless embraces the biography and en-
cravings of the principal judges and law
yers in Texas, who have framed it's organ
nent in Texas jurisprudence. Some of
the most eminent and deserving men in
the state were omitted, but neither by the
ignorance or neglect of the author. Col.
Lynch wrote to these gentlemen who have
been omitted calling their attention to
his intention to publish such a work. but.
these gentlemen, not approaching the de-
sign or scope of the work, neglected to
give the author sufficient data to base a
biography upon, and they were therefore
omitted, much to the regret of the author.
From the rapidity with which the work
was completed, it may be surmised that it
lacks in finish. That is not the case. 1t
is complete in typographical excellence
and is written in a scholarly style worthy
of the subject. Texas has produced many
profound judges and jurists, whose
thoughtful faces, indelibly impressed with
great strength of character, Col. Lynch
has preserved from decay in excellent steel
engrayings. At the same time he has
given a brief history of the lives
of these men, to whom Texas is in
debted for her system of jurisprudence
and whose memories ought to be trans
mitted to future generations.
The biographies are written in
terse strong sentences, throwing out
prominently, the main characteristics of
the men it is intended to commemorate
Col. Lynch has manifested a very com
prehensive grasp of human character and
sound Judgment of human peculiarities
in this work.
It is large volume containing six hun
dred and ten pages, with a number of fine
engravings. 1t ought to be in every Ii
brary in the state.
Col. Lynch is now in Austin in the in
terest of his work.

The STATESMAN in it's new form, has
been complimented very highly upon the
streets of Austin. Several old printers
have declared that it is the handsomest
daily paper in the state. AS soon as we
get our machinery in order to cut, paste
and fold the paper, it will be still more
beautiful in typographical appearance.
Unfortunately part of the machinery
was lost or mislaid en- route, and it will be
day or two yet before we complete our
mechanical department In themeantime
we are adjusting the departments of the
snake up that will improve it vastly.

THE Louisville Courier Journal may
speak by the book when it says "The re-
cent tidal wave did not scare anybody in
New Jersey, because man who is born to
be hanged cannot be drowned" But still
there are some truths which had better re-
main unsaid. A man knows that B is a
scoundrel, but he does not like to say so
unless there is a feeling of confidence in
spired by distance-the greater the dis
lance, ditto the confidence. And this
may be the secret of Mr.. Watterson's
rashness. Kentucky is many miles from
New Jersey, and besides, the Jerseyites
have wholesome fear of brigandash
mustachios and other characteristics of
the west and south.

VIM. HEATH. prisoner in Ludlow street
jail, New York, on complaint of Morosini,
the broker for Jay Gould, who charges
him with fraud, was 5rawn on sheriff's
jury the other day and was marched from
the jail to the courtroom, where he sat
upon a jury impaneled to decide whether
or not Charles Scribner is habitual
drunkard. 1t is probably the first instance
on record where juryman was drawn

The Jealous friends of Mr.. Cleveland
attempted to dissuade him from attend

account of the excited state of the pub

upon to consider the question of per-
sonal risk in the discharge of what he
considered to be his duty.

The death of Marshal Serrano, the re-
puted father of King Alfonso, cotempor-
ary with the death of that king, reminds
correspondent of the death of O'Don-
mel, who, when the priest urged him to
forgive his enemies before he died, said:
''My enemies! What do you mean father?
I can swear I have none. Don't you
know 1 had all of them shot?" Serrano,
whose reckless ambition has strewed
Spain with the corpses of his enemies,
ought justly have made the same remark.
He is said to have betrayed all parties and
friends, and died, perhaps without single
regret.
A VERY intelligent looking man, the
other day in Washington, attempted to
have an interview with the commissioner
of patents, stating that the ''cradle of
liberty" was broken and he had discovered
mode of repairing it. The cranks at
the department denied him an interview,
not approaching that the cradle of liberty
itself had been a little cracked for the
last quarter of a century.

FoR the benefit of our friends farther
north, who are experiencing sleet, snow,
slush and anon, biting, piercing winds, it
is in order to state that the weather here
is clear and just cool enough to be brac-
ing, but too warm for wraps and over
coats. The air is perfectly delicious, a
draft of it into the lungs in the morning
is as inspiring as a glass of champagne
and ten times as health-giving and sus-
tanning to the physical system. In the
summer we have at Austin a constant
breeze that makes some covering at night
agreeable, and in the winter it is just cool
enough to prevent enervation. Certainly
this is the most delightful climate in the
world and only approached by Northern
California and the south of France.

The prohibition victory at Atlanta,
Georgia, turns oht to be not such a great
victory after all. The ''wets," as the OPP
ponents of prohibition are locally de-
nominated, intend to contest the election
on several grounds, The law passed at
recent session eff the legislature prohibits
the submission of the question of local
option or high tax, in districts where either
prevails, and it is said the election en-
bracing Atlanta took in several country
precincts where local option rule existed,
and as it is claimed that the country peo-
pie living in these districts also voted in
Atlanta, and citizens of Atlanta voted, on
account of the crowded condition of the
polls in the city, in other country pre-
cincts, thus subjecting the election to the
charge of violation of the law.
The constitutionality of the law is
also impugned and the question will be
referred to the supreme court of the
state.
Again it turns out that the victors, or
the ''dry" party, are alarmed at the effect
of the victory. If the law is ever en-
forced large investments in and about At
lanta will be rendered valueless. A hun
dred and fifty business men are threatened
with bankruptcy; a thousand workmen
with families will be thrown out of en-
ployment and more than six thousand per-
SONS in Atlanta are menaced with destitu-
ton if prohibition becomes a fixed fact.
A brewery in which Northern capitalists
have invested $16O,OOO will be dead loss.
It is no wonder that the victors are non
plussed in contemplating such a state of
affairs, and when they realize that it will
drive the investment of capital to other
states, then victory will seem to them
dearly bought.

VERY significant conversation occurred
day before yesterday between Governor
Lubbock and Mr.. Goodnight, of the firm
of Adair & Goodnight. Gov. Lubbock
said: "Mr. Goodnight, suppose the COVER
nor sends rangers to cut fences illegally
built around school lands, and they were
to cut any of your fences, what would
you do?"
Mr.. Goodnight replied: II would go to
the nearest magistrate, get out warrant
hundred of my cowboys, armed with
Winchester rifles, to serve the warrant
and before night the rangers would be in
jail"
Mr.. Goodnight being further interro-
gated as to what he would do if legal pro-
ceedings were instituted, remarked that
aof course I would submit to legal, but
not to illegal proceedings"
It requires a cool head in a governor
of state to resist arbitrarily exercising
the power at his command against system
attic trespasses upon the lands, and Gov
ernor Ireland deserves credit for pursuing
legal and conservative course
The gentlemen, who have been urging
summary proceedings, by the governor
calling upon the rangers as a constabul-
airy and the state militia as posse conf
tatus to do illegal fence cutting, must see
that it must have brought on a most la
mentable and disastrous conflict between
our own people, that would have turned
the peaceful grazing fields of the Pan
handle into the seat of bloody and dis
graceful guerilla war, that would have re-
tarded the growth and development of
Texas for twenty years. When a high
handed wrong is defantly perpetrated
them to immediate action without
reference to the law, and this action in
wolves innocent people and affects often
an entire country, when, if legal rem
edy is resorted to, the wrong is finally
righted, and the wronged receive full
compensation in damages.
1t would be unfair to hold gentlemen
responsible for hasty expressions in a
conversational consultation in their Off
cial capacity as a board, but newspapers
have time to think, and knowing an in
cautious policy upheld and published by
the press receives wide circulation and
confidence, it is to be regretted that few
of the papers of Texas, to crafty polit-
ical animosity, would have permitted their
columns editorially to advise illegal act
ion in this matter, that would have involv-
ed Texas in manifold calamities, not the
least of which would be to estop all emf
grafton to the state, for which these same
newspapers are SO clamorous. We are
fortunate in having governor of good
judgment and prudence.
