PATRIOTS, NOT oLASS.LEADERS.


PATRIOTS, NOT CLASS-LEADERS
Farmers complain, and apparently with
good cause, that they are not represented
in the national legislature. Among 4Ol
members only about twenty-five arc
farmers. An overwhelming majority Of
the members are lawyers, and generally
corporation lawyers at that.
The other professions and trades are as
little represented as the farmers. There
axe only four or Gye editors, dozen OF
so business men, and scattering few Of
other calllDgs The farmers, however,
consider that the Injustice to them is
more marked than to any other class
They are the most numerous and imp 'r'
tant interest, and being without proper
tlonal representation in the law-making
body, they hold that their welfare is not
properly taken care Of. 1t seems that
there must be some good cause for this
complaint Possibly an assembly OF rep.
resentatlves of the agricultural interest
would tolerate the tariff system that we
now have but not probably so.
Yet, while we confess that this state OF
affairs is an evil, 1t cannot be remedied
by the farmers making it test that can
dldates shall all be farmers. To intro
duce class distinctions in our politics
will add to the harshness and rancor of
political feeling that now prevails, and
beget an opposition to that class that
forces it which would be worse than not
TO be represented at all If farmers will
see TO it that the best men are sent TO
congress, irrespective of calling, pro-
fession, creed or politics, they will gain
more than II they elected a congress
composed entirely of themselves. A
patriot recognizes no class but American
citizens in making laws for their govern
ment. What the country most needs now
is a congress OF patriots, not of farm
crs, or lawyers, or doctors, or preachers,
or editors.
If the Ggriculturists will recognize
this truth, and vote for the very best men,
they will do their cause more good than
by voting for man because he is q
farmer, If that is his only claim to their
preference. Generally they have discrlm-
ination of judgment to point out the best
men. They lack only the independence of
action to vote for such men.

THE friends Of Gen. Ross are very
much exercised because Comptroller
Swain seems to have been Endorsed in the
Travis county primaries, over local
gentleman by the name Of Breckenridge,
who is said to be gubernatorlal candi-
date. Perhaps they are now in the
proper mood to enjoy a ventilation Of the
efforts which are being made to induce
Col. Chas. DeMorse TO become candi-
date for governor against Col. Swain.

A CERTAIN Greenbacker has been tell
ing the people of certain precinct of
Tarrant county that caucus was held in
The GAZETTE Office in which 1t was de.
cided to run Mr.. James w. Swayue for
the legislature. This Is maliclously
false, No caucus was ever held
in this office, and such reports
are circulated in order to deceive
Democrats aud array county Democrats
against city Democrats. Mr.. Swayno is
not candidate for the legislature and
has no idea OF becoming candidate
THE GAzETTE's candidates are those who
may be selected by Democrats in a
Democratic convention composed only
OF Democrats. THE GAZETTE is the
organ OF tho Democratic party and
has no pets or fayortes or enemies. 1t
will support the nominees of its party,
and will take no part In deciding between
county candidates for any county office.
Those who read the paper for themselves
and do not depend for interpretations of
Its utterances upon Greenbackers and
Radicals who are seeking TO disrupt the
party, know that this paper has never
sought to bolster one man at the expense
OF other men for any county office. This
statement Is made once for all, and II
Democrats insist upon being misled by
the enemies of the Democracy, aud by
sore'headed ofllce.seekers, there is no law
to prevent them.

UNDER WHICH FLAG, BEN
ZONTdN9

Is Col. Charles DE Morse Of GAINESVILLE
really candidate for governor Of Texas
II so, on what ticket-under which flag
The right of every free-born American
citizen, as well as naturalized foreigner,
to run for Office in this country cannot be
abridged, and if Col. De Morse wants to
be governor of Texas, and thinks he can
get to be governor by making his aspira-
lions known, he has as much right to be-
come a candidate rs his distinguished
county citizen, Mr.. Swain. But we
should like to hear from Col De Morse,
| before saying anything about his candi-
dacy, as to the route he intends to take
in travelling towards the governors man
sion. viii he go via the state Demo-
cratic convention, or will he strike out
through the bog and wildefnesses Of
Independentlsm, Knights of Laborism,
Greenbackism, and other isms ? What
has the colonel to say
The only action 50 far publicly taken,
that THE GAZETTE is advised of, is the
recommendation OF that gentleman at
meeting of the knights of Labor and
Farmers alliance in Red River county, as
candidate for governor. 1t was not
said that he was to be a Democratic can
didate, nor that he was to lead the oppo-
sition. From Col. De Morse himself no
word has been heard accepting or re-
pudlating the recommendation, and the
people are left in state of intense
anxiety as to his intentions.
BY the way, what effect will this diver
sion have on the Marion Martin move
ment? Both are supposed to be put for
ward by the labor element, but with this
difference, that Col, De Morse is backed
by the Knights Of Labor especially, while
Mr.. Martin is backed by the Farmers
alliance, assisted by the Prohioitlonists.
Is there going to be dissension in the
ranks of the opposition so soon?

Some days ago THE GAZETTE suggested
the expediency Of two county Democratic
conventions for Tarrant, one to nominate
county officers and second to select del
egates to the state convention. This sug'
gestlon has met the hearty Endorsement
OF many gentlemen in both city and coun-
ty. The work to be done is more than
one convention can perform in one day,
and the suggestion deserves at least
the serious consideration Of the ex-
ecutlve committee. The present
dates fixed for primary and coun-
ty conventions, viz. July 10 for the
primary and July 10 for the county con
ventlon, might be allowed to stand for
the Hcmination Of county officers, and
dates fixed fortnight later, say, July "a,
for the primaries and July 81 for the
county convention, to elect delegates to
the state and district conventions.
THE GAZETTE renews the suggestion
and urges upon all Democrats at least
consideration Of 1t.

"Dor DAYS

To. day opens the season known as
"dog days. which win end on the
2lst of September. The characterize
les OF the dog day" season is usual
" the warmest time in the year and
sickness is more prevalent. This is
the idea originating the peculiar name
for the season: Sirius, the dog star,
rose with the sun during this period
aud the ancient Egyptian astronomers
thought that thus uniting its innn-
ence with that Of Old Sol, caused the
extra heat and sickness. Persons
should be careful in their diet during
this season, and should not expose
themselves to The bot suns and the
night air, if they desire to keep from
sickness.

Getting Restless.

In going our rounds this morning
for news items, We stumbled into the
Comptroller's Office as is our custom,
and found one of the officials Of that
department rather restless over the
monotonous duties of his Office. He
inquired if we had any .'ozone, !"
around our way. As that is an arr
ticle that printers seldom indulge in,
We advised him to call to bis re-
lief one of the States steamers and
have it carry him to bis fertile farms
on the pininsula. He smiled smile.

Probably the largest concern of its kind
that has grown up amongst us in the
past decade is the Duffy Malt Whiskey
Company Of Baltimore. Md. The other
day the writer met a representative of
this house and among other of the In
teresting questions that came up, was one
as to how this Company could afford to
expend such large sums OF money in adj
vertising such an excellent brand of
whiskey, and on which the margin of
profit Is necessarily small.
''Well, sir, replied the gentleman, ut
Is done entirely on the strength OF good
article, In the merit and purity OF which
we have the utmost confidence. This is
probably the first instance of the kind in
the business of the country where il has
paid a business like ours to extensively
advertise its whiskey.
Heretofore large newspaper advertis-
ing has been confined almost exclusively
to patent medicines and other proprietary
preparations, on which there is usually q
profit OF from 200 to 800 per cent never
lessl as in the case OF so-called bitters, for
instance, which frequently consist, as
analysis has shown, OF the cheapest OF
poisonous kinds of alcohol for base (the
government allows 30 per cent? the rest Of
the compound being few inexpensive.
fiavoring extracts to make 1t palatable.
It was with the idea that people would
sooner or later come to realize this fact,
that we determined to put our.whiskey
on the market under its true name, merit
and medicinal uses, and although we
have received numerous propositions
from prominent religious papers. and
