The Galveston News of yesterday de-
votes leader OF over column to the
dangers threatening the democracy OF
the state through the organization Of
the republican party, and has this to say
of the situation. "The convention that
meets at Waco on the the 25th, will
meet under more favorable auspices
than any republican gathering that has
assembled in Texas uf late years. The
people are groaning under heavy taxa
ton and are disguised with weak, inefii-
cient government. The democrats can
only head of opposition by making the
democratic party of Texas something
else than an organized appetite and a
demonstrated inefficiency." This ar
raignment of the democracy by the Gal
weston News is healthy reading for the
people just now. 1t voices very
strongly the healthy sentiment of that
nOn-partisan class which always holds
the balance of power in every state.
The iron-bound, rlng-ribbed politicians
are always in minority, and when the
campaign against "Organized appetite"
and "recognized.ine is honestly
waged on such platform as commends
itself to the judgment of the people, the
mere party name becomes powerless to
hold the intelligent thousands from vot-
ing as their own best interests and those
of the state dictate. This approaching
convention at Waco is the republican
opportunity" "Organized appetite"
among republicans is not altogether
dead dog in Texas, and the wisdom of
that convention will in nothing be more
apparent than in demonstrating its en-
tire independence Of those, who, in the
past, have made its work and methods
obnoxious to the average political sense
and conscience Of the people.

GRAIN reports from across ocean show
marked decrease in yield Of European
grain fields over yield Of. 1885. The
shortage will not be less than ten per
cent. The falling of in yield and acre
age in this country, taken in connection
with foreign reports, indicate an ad-
vanced price for cereals before next
harvest. OF this there can scarcely be a
doubt. The rates at which provisions
and flour have ruled for few years are
likely to be materially advanced. In
calculating future expenses 1t will pay
to keep this fact in mind.

The order Of the treasury department,
to stamp rs Eight" all gold coins pre-
sented at the sub-tressury, and found to
be one-hslf of one per cent below stand
ard weight, has raised a commotion on
the Pacific coast. All such coins will be
classed as bullion, and the loss to the
holders will be considerable. As gold
coin is the chief circulating medium in
California the gold coins become rapid
ly worn, and the order falls most heavily
on that section Of the country. Those

Gen. Dodge is not in Fort Worth for
the purpose OF asking any bonus or other
favor of this city or its people; he is here
to extend the Fort Worth & Denver road
to connection with the Denver,
Texas & Gulf railroad at once, which will
give Fort Worth direct all-rail connection
with Denver. This extension of the Fort
Worth & Denver signifies the exenditure
Of Gen. Dodge's money in Fort Worth
and Northwest Texas, and the upbullding
Of both, SO far as his road can effect it,
and, therefore, what Gen. Dodge says is
TO be taken at its face value and not cum
grano sails.
That interview In THE GAZETTE yester-
day made pleasant reading for Fort
Worth and the Panhandle Of Texas,
whose entrepot this city is. Gen.
Dodge is practical and distin-
gulshed railroad builder, and his
building is not on paper, and what he
said is the beginning of the realization
of the hopes of our people who have
waited aud worked and given. But while
Fort Worth is encouraged by the views
and statements of Gen. Dodge, North
west Texas and the Panhandle have fully
as much, II not more cause for self
graduation. Railroads will penetrate the
Northwest, immigration will follow thick
and follow faster, towns and cities and
school-houses and churches will take the
place of cattle ranches, Northwest
Texas is on the eve of grand boom.
With Its friends in that section, THE
GAZETTE rejoices and is exceeding glad
at the promise hidden in the words Of the
man who has done so much toward CIV
ing the Panhandle and the Northwest
their only great line.

And now comes United States Senator

bill, and insists that congress shall take
action in regard 10 woman suffrage He
made long speech on the subject last
week, announcing at the close that at an
early day he would ask and expect the
senate to take action on a bill which pro-
poses an amendment TO the national con,

TO women. Sometimes THE GAZETTE
wonders II the women Of this country

of people are to be believed, there is a
burning desire on the part OF the gentler
sex TO enjoy the privilege, and these peo-

right has not been granted ere now. But
as above said, these assertions come from
sources that leave fair-mlnded men very
much In doubt as to the value and author.

and significant fact that the blessed

taken as mass, do not appear to be
at all exercised about this question. In

aud outspoken about church-work; they
generally have an opinion (and decided
one) on prohibition. They take an intel
ligent Interest in all current topics Of the
times, moral aud literary, but Il is fact
that ninety'plne ont OF every hundred of
them do not seem 20 give the subject Of

WHILE much has been said In regard to
the propriety Of President Cleveland's
structures on the press at the Harvard
celebration, there are few who will not
join with him in the condemnation of
that kind Of journalism which would drag
the private life of any citizen into the
light Of day to further political ends or
personal pque. The comments Of one OF
our Eastern contemporaries are pre-
eminently just and worthy of repetition.
After indorsing the sentiments expressed,

more conspicuous example in the United

powerlessness Of personal attacks in
