THE convention was so busy attending
to more important things Ut is to be pre-
sumed) that It entirely forgot to say any
thing in favor Of repeal of the tariff. This
omission may have been intentional or
not, but it is none the less inexcusable.
The friends OF revenue reform have had a
hard fight in congress and they need the
expressed support Of the Democrats Of
every state where the party is opposed to
protection. We believe the Democrats Of
Texas are not In favor of protection.
How will they regard the silence of their

ONE MORE CONVENTION THIS
MONTH.
MONTH.

AZ NAN 4 IL
There is one more state convention to
be held this month, and then the people
can give their undivided attention to the
Cutting case or whatever else may come
up, The Republicans are to meet at
Waco on the 25th inst. The call for the
convention is quite vague IN It's terms and
we doubt II anybody in the ranks OF Tex
as Republicanism has any clearly defined
idea why the party should hold state
convention. Numerically considered 1t is
weak and there is no prospect of coali.
ton with any other element or faction
strong enough TO give the Democracy even
decent contest. The Farmers alliance
Is not going into politics any more than
1t has done; the Prohibitionsts are not
developing an intention of rlsking a state
fight the Greenbsckers are never, or
hardly ever, heard Of. Where will the
Republicans find material for coalition?
II does not exist. Granted that all the
Republicans could be carried TO the polls.
supplemented by Democratic sore-heads.
Greenback Missionaries and what recruits
could be gained from the Farmers,
alliance and Knights of Labor, and a
state ticket of such combination would
not make any Roadway against the Demo-
cratic nominees. The Republican leaders
know this as well as anybody, and thew
will not undertake the worry and expense
of bootless campaign. 1t will be seen,
when their convention meets at Waco,
that 1t will adjourn without making any
nominations. There will perhaps be an
"arraignment" OF :he Democratic partv
and that win be all. Why should the
Republicans hold convention, will be
asked, Simply and solely to keep up
their party organization; to harmonize
whatever antagonisms exist, to designate
leaders and settle rivalrles, getting ready
for 1888, when they hope that national
success will once again place the loaves
and fishes of federal office In Texas at
their disposal. Whatever cohesiyeness
they may exhibit arises from what thew
hope for If Blaine or some other Republ.
can is elected president in 49, There
win be collectorships and marshalships
and other federal offices galore in that
event, and the Texas Republicans who
are faithful now will come in for theil
share then, u Republican president
comes in. This is the why and whereior,
of the Republican gathering at Waco
and the sooner It is over the better.

Der the young colonel, acting general In
the Confederate service, First Auditor
Chenoweth. In the event OF war with
Mexico, ii is whispered he Is at home for
the purpose of Offering his services as
cavalryman. Under the leadership Of
the brave Kentuckian, the many Texans
who would flock to his standard would
carry dlsmay into the hearts of the Mexl-
can soldiery, for although second to no
people in easy Workmanship, these men
are from class who can know but little
OF those emotions which inspire them TO
deeds Of daring.

THE proposed plan of arbltrating the
Cutting trouble will require several
weeks There will be plenty of time to
get up military companies in the event
that peaceful solution cannot be
reached by the conference at the City of
Mexico. And 1t is quite certain that the
war spirit will not abste while the con-
ference is under way. The American
people can see but one way to settle the
Cutting matter, and that is the release of
Cutting.

TIKI gentleman who placed Gen, Ross
In nomination alluded to him as "born
and reared in Texas" This was, no
doubt, an unwilling error, Gen. Ross Is
q native Of Indiana, but he came to Texas
at such an early age that he is as much
"to the manner born" as any man who
did draw his first breath ON Texas soil.
The mistake was not material, and Is al
luded to by rHE GAzErTE simply to pre-
serve the accuracy Of history. 1t would
have made no difference, Indeed, If Gen.
Ross had lived in Indiana until his early
manhood. His record in Texas would
have still secured him the distinction he
enjoys.

Another and the grandest phase Of Mr..
Tilden's nature was not revealed until he
was laid In the grave, Those who were
numbered among his intimates were no
doubt aware Of his kindly philanthropic
disposition, which must have manifested
itself In numerous quiet, kindly acts, but
the great statesman was content to pass
away without letting his countrymen
know the full nobility OF his soul. Some

New Lebanon, at Yonkers, and perhaps
In New York city; but the executors are
vested with large discretion, the only re-
'triction being that the millions thus be-
lueathed shall go TO the people. This is
4 fitting and grand consummaton Of a
life like Mr.. Tilden's, and will place him
n the rank Of such philanthropists as
Peabody, Sir Moses Montinore, Slater,
'aul Tulane and others of like character.
I will carry his name down the ages as a
as well as statesman, and
more than ever endear his fame to the
American people, and especially to the
POLITICAL party he loved so well. It is not
ecessary to rear monuments that are
ashioned by hand Of man to keep in
mind the memory of such men, for their
leeds live after them and are their monu-
nents. Tilden, as the patriot and states
nan, would have been one of the most
Iotable characters in American history.

anthropist, will be an even grander char
cter. Such lives are most valuable for

FEDERAL AID FOR EDUCATION

Prot. Roberts, l.. l.. D., is indicated
Early in the summer, when the teach
ers OF the state were assembled at Austin,
and the Blair bin cameup fordiscussion,
there was scarcely a pedagogue In the
body who wasn't enthusiastically In favor
OF the Blair measure. Almost single
handed and alone DR.. Roberts got up aud
opposed it. lie denounced 1t as undem.
ocra,ic, centralizlng In its tendencies, as
''paternal' in spirit as the shipping OF
carp fish for Texas ponds, aud perni-
cious scheme generally. But the teach.
ers had the majority on the old man.
They voted him down, and declared
that in their opinion the Blair bill.
or something akin TO 1t, was the very
thing needed Dr. Roberts took his de-
feat in good spirit, partly because he
couldn't help himself and partly because
he must have surmised he would have a
powerful ally when the state convention
met. The event has yiudlcated his anilcl-
pAtlons and his position as we'll. Plank

That the city government would do a

That the dull thud with which the state
convention sat down, so to speak, on an
iDdorsement Of the state administration
can still be heard In the gubernatorial
mansion.
That the opening of the Ellis house
ought to be made the occasion for
grand advertisement OF increased hotel

four In the platform adopted states; eve
believe that the education Of children is a
matter Of state right and duty, and that
the congress OF the United States has no
right to appropriate money to Its aid.'
This is clear cut and unequivocal, and
will be accepted as an authoritative dec
laration Of the Democracy of Texas on
this subject It is in line with the utter
ances and course Of the Texos delegation
in con gress, and very fit.ingly found =
place In the platform. The acceptance OF
rejection Of the proposition does not nee
essarily inyolve the question % a mans
Democracy. There has been and will be
a diversity Of opinion among Democrats as
TO the wisdom and proprlety Of the policy,
as there is upon the question Of prohibit
ton or local option. The convention did
not assume to do more than speak for the
party in general terms. The declaration,
however, will have Its effect. As a rule
Democrats will accept IL, at least until
they believe their party is ready to revise
It's utterances And after all, II the con |
gention deemed It expedient to notice the
matter, it is difficult to conceive how any
,ther utterance could have been made.
All the traditions and policies Of the De-
nocracy are decidedly antagonistic to fed
'ral aid or interference in matters that
ire held to be exclusively the concern Of
he state, and this rebuke Of the principle
in the Blair bill was at once
imely and natural.

Always "Agin the government )"


II really begins to look as though Ger.
tain disloyal Republican newspapers OF
the country win be 'against the govern
ment" in case any serious trouble arises
between this republic and that of Mexico.
Such treason was hardly to be looked for
In journals which have dwelt so strongly
on loyalty for the last twenty years, but
it Is there, gaunt, hideous and uncon-
cealed. If the pugnacious Cleveland and
the soaring Bayard should, for their
own glory and the continued supremacy
Of the Democratic party, bring on war
with Mexico, what right would anybody
have to expect support from the organs
OF Republlcanism? Right or not, it
would not be given. Like Tom Corwin,
the pious leader Of the old Wings, they
would bid our armies farewell with the
hope that the Nexicans would welcome
them with bloody hands to hospitable
graves.
There Is somewhat too much of this
species of partisanship in America. 1t
manifested itself in the Federal party
during the war Of 1912, in the Wing party
during the war of 1876 and in the Demo-
cratic party during the war Of the re-
bellion. If there should be war during
Grover Cleveland's administration there
Is no reason to doubt that the corps of
Republican "copperheads" would be
large. Perhaps Mr.. Bayard had better
have old Fort Lafayette reGtted for use in
case of an emergency.

II Is found that Mr.. Tilden's wealth
was not as great as the world generally
believed. During his lifetime his estate
was rated at slO,OOO,O 900 to $4,000, 900.
His will shows that it will be between
$4,000 1000 and s6,OOO,OO0 He spent
money literally, and his large income,
during the later years of his life, did not
add materially to the bulk OF the estate.
He was ever very liberal in helping out
Democratic campaign funds.
