THE PLATFORM.

There never has yet been party plat
form that pleased everybody, or that met
with no grumbling inside of the party
where principles it is supposed to repre-
sent. But the declaration of principles
by the Galveston convention will come as
close to giving general satisfaction as any
platform heretofore put forth by the
Texas democracy.
The financial plank-limiting expenditures
to current and actual revenue is as sound
policy in public as in private affairs
Advocating the constitutional amendment
of the judiciary article is another good
point, which is endorsed by nearly every
legal mind in the state
On education the point taken is sound
and conservative, but progressive, and the
popular sentiment is expressed in the
condemnation of the Blair bill. The land
policy is about as fair as could be devised
and especially commendable is that which
commits the democratic party to putting
free grazers and illegal occupants off the
school lands for which they pay no rental
This is just to all concerned
One plank is a warning to the com
munists; it guarantees protection to the
property of corporations and individuals
alike, whilst the recommendations con
corning the mechanics lien, for the pro
lection of the real laborer, will win tn
appreciation of employer and employed.
To sum up, there is scarcely weak o
useless plank in the structure, and wis
dom is evinced in the avoidance of tim
Der which might have endangered tn

THE NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR.

Gen. L. S. Ross, the democratic nomi-
nee for governor, was born in Iowa on
the 2Sth of September, 1888, and is As
years of age. His early life was spent in
Milan and McLennan counties, in this
state. He graduated at the Florence
Wesleyan college, in Alabama, in 1858.
In his youthful days he led several ex-
petitions against the Indians with
signal success, and in 1859 he
was appointed commander of
the Texas frontier forces, and in
this capacity distinguished himself as
brave, fearless and successful officer
When the late civil war broke out he re-
signed this position and volunteered as a
private in Captain Peter F, Ross com.
pany, and for valiant conduct was pro
neted to major, then colonel, and in 1862
TO brigadier-general. He participated il
many of the hottest battles of the wal
and made many narrow escapes. He wal
elected Sheriff of McLennan county in 1871
and in 1875 he was elected as delegat
from Kent county to the constitutions
convention. He has also served as stat

TRAVIS has cause to be proud of her
delegation to the state convention.
Frank Maddox was one of the hardest
workers, and most influential man
on the floor of the convention. He
fought the battle against free grass
bravely, and to his untiring efforts is very
largely due the nomination of Mccall for
comptroller. His work was careful, con-
siderate, polite and effective. And to
Major Joe Stewart is due the distinction
of making the neatest and most telling
nominating speech of the convention
His resume of McCalPs position, and the
vigorous points he made, formed the
nucleus of McCairs signal victory.
travis, with her eight votes, had more in
fiuence than even the counties of eleven
and fourteen votes, and but for the frac-
tional eccentricities, her vote would have
been unique and perfect. AS it was, she
won distinction and a leading name on
the state ticket.

CONERY.

Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth, plying
between Atlantic City and New York, had
been troubled with a cough so that he was
unable to sleep, and was induced to try
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton. 1t not only gave him instant re-
lief, but allayed the extreme soreness IN
his breast. His children were similarly
affected and single dose had the same
happy effect. DR.. Kings New Discovery
is now the standard remedy IN the Cole

INTERESTING EXPERIENCES.

Hiram Cameron, furniture dealer of
Columbus, Ga, tells his experience, thus:
For three years have tried every remedy
on the market for stomach and kidney
disorders, but got no relief, until used
Electric Bitters. Took five bottles and
am now cured, and think Electric Bitters
the best blood purifier in the world
Major A. B. Reed, of West Liberty, KY"

kidney affection and says: Nothing has
ever done me so much good as Electric
Bitters." Sold at fifty cents a bottle by

WASHINGTON STAR.

The Belfast riots have gone to terrible
lengths and what makes the matter the
more woeful is that there has been no
reason in it from the beginning Even
the horrors of the Paris commune were
based upon an intelligent idea, but the
Belfast rioters seem to have been actuated
merely by the spirit of blind quarrelsome-
ness, which is Ireland's greatest curse,
supplemented by the vague feeling of
clan hostility, which pervades Ulster, and
the general sentiment of dissatisfaction
with the political status of the island.
Ireland may have good cause for com
plant against England, but why should
that lead the men of Belfast to kill each
other and shoot down women and children
by the score?

WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN.

When the majority and minority re-
ports of the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections in the case of Mr..
Payne we're first made public, the National
Republican expressed the opinion that the
majority was right in deciding that the
allegations and evidence submitted to the
senate, and referred to that committee
did not call for an investigation of the
charge that Mr.. Payne's election to the
senate was the result of the bribery in the
democratic legislative caucus by which he
was nominated for that office. This
opinion vas formed after the
most careful examination of both re'
ports and an earnest effort to thoroughly
understand the question in all its aspects.
1t has since been confirmed by the vote of
II to A against investigation, after de-
bate rarely paralleled for ability and in
terest. A close study of all the argu-
ments on both sides must inevitably con-
vince the unpreiudiced-tho who desire
to do right for the sake of right-that the
truth has suffered no violence at the hands
of the fifteen republican senators whose
votes are counted with those of twenty
nine democratic senators i'll making up
tine fourty-four against investigations

BALTIMORE HERALD.

In the state of Maryland the relations
between capital and labor have been of
character to negative the presumption
that any serious political contest will
spring out of the agitation prevailing in
labor circles throughout the present year.
But outside of Maryland the case is very
different. In northern Delaware there has
been long and bitter struggle;
in New York and the west the differences
are as far as ever from prospect of set
Element There is a calm, but only such
as usually precedes storm. 1t looks just
now as if this storm would be of a politl-
cal character.
When the Knights of Labor first sprang
into prominence as an organization the
politicians were swift to ''catch on" but
the counsels of Mr.. Powderly prevailed,
and the general assemblies gave the pros
pectors very cool reception. Even now
there are few, if any, of the regulars, stall
wart republicans or hard shell democrats
who can claim any prospects of support
from the labor element The indications
favor the view that Mr.. Powderly will not
be successful in his honest and well-meant
efforts to keep the cause out of politics
altogether, and that a regular labor ticket
will be placed in the field at the proper
time, entirely outside of party lines.
There are already four political parties
the stalwart and independent republicans,
and the regular and independent demo-
Gratis. The prohibitionists form the fifth,
while the labor men will probably absorb
the greenback element to form the
sixth.

Mr.. Easterly has not enjoyed the best Of

amored of the land of the Montezumas

male population is concerned. He says
it is a good stock country, but this is all
you can say of it. AS for climate, it is
no more to be compared to the chenook-
famed slope of the Missouri than q

balmiest zephyr that ever kissed the

Tribune's gifted young local scribe should
remember that the native cherries of the
Missouri Slope are black.
