REpUcrIoN ro AN ABsURDlrl

REDUCTION no AN ABSURDITY.
Among very vehement school of pc.
litical economists, it is held as an indis-
putable fact that the ills of the laboring
men proceed from the excessive number
of those who labor. The remedy is to
retire a portion OF this class, and the re-
malnder, who perform the work of all,
will, 1t is commended, be paid better
wages The iders are to te sustained
by tho workers. Men who denounce the
competition of convict labor uphold this
principle, many OF them, perhaps, igno-
rantly. They would nave an army of
men In penltensiaries supported in idle
ness by the people who work and pay
taxes. The doctrine is, that the products
in competition with the products OF free
labor, but that it is better that convicts
should become non-producers and be
supported by the surplus earnings of free
labor.
The theory is carried to its logical con-
clusion in some of the European countries
and the results are not satisfactory. OF
course the larger the number withdrawn
from the ranks of the producers, the
higher the rate of remuneration to the
residue, That proposition is incontesta-
BILE to those who admit this doctrine
Then, those nations of Europe which
maintain the largest standing armies
ought to be the most prosperous, and
there the prices OF labor should be at the
| highest, Soldiers are not only non-pro
ducers, they are also consumers. No
only are they non-compctitOrs, but the,
laborers who have escaped the conscrip
tion. Yet we find in Russia and Ger
many, where the largest number of sol
diers Is kept in the field, wages are lowe
than in any other civilized nations; ia
lower than in England, where the army 1
comparatively small; and so much lowe
than In this country, with virtually N,
army atall, that comparison Is out of tn
question
In respect Of being non.producers
there is no difference between the post
ton of soldiers and convlets, The sam
process of argument that condemns tn
employment Of convicts in useful labo
will favor the creation OF large standin
armies to diminish the competition
among those left at work and to augmen
their remuneration. The men who clamo
against prison labor, and boycott manu-
faoturers who employ convicts, Nigh
with equal logic ask that the army be In
creased, so as to add TO the ranks of non
producers and uon.compctltors,
This course OF reasoning, If honestl
followed, will carry the Investigator t
positions that he cannot defend withou
doing violence to his claims to common
sense. Nevertheless, we lnd hundred
who, without investigating its tendency
have taken up the doctrine and are en-
deayoring to propagate it. Now is abou
time for them to stop aud think.

WHEN Dallas asks the Democrats OF
Texas TO hold the state convention at that
place let the Democrats examine the files
of the newspapers for last summer and
see how the tables Of temperature look.
1t will be found that Dallas Is the hottest
place in all Texas and the temperature
there ranges four or five degrees higher
than at any other place in the state. Del
egates don't want to suffocato in the
service OF their party

Du. swEARISGES was interviewed by re.
porter TO night, and from him IL was learned
that the authorities do not yet know whether
the Dallas quarantine is an absolute or only a
mere inspection quarantine, question that
cuts considerable figure In the situation.
Action cannot be taken till II Is solvcd.-fG Ga.
zottc Austln Special.
"Absolute or inspectiye!" The Dallas
quarantine isn't Irrespective" because
the S250-a-month quarantine yaccinator
has prevented few lusty men from 60
ing TO Dallas via the Texas s Pacific,
and because there isn't any "inspection"
Of passengers from Fort Worth to Dallas
via the Santa Fe, II Isn't "absolute,"
because men from Fort Worth go daily to
Dallas. THE GAzETTE's own young man
went down there and interviewed abe
great American quarantners on their
adopted heaths. No, the quarantine is
neither 'absolute" nor "inspective;" 1t
is concoctlon OF malice, business rival
ry, official antedlluyianism and $3.50 a
month. DR. Swearingen needn't hurry
himself; we are beginning to like it.
This quarantine trick is good thing
for Fort Worth. People now see how
hard pushed Dallas is for some "protoc-
ton" against Fort Worth. 1t is a little
rough on the Texas & Pacific, perhaps,
and may brighten prospectors and home
seekers from North Texas; but, like
everything else, the quarantine trick
works together for good to those thai
serve the Lord, and are called according
to his purpose, viz Fort Worth, its PEG
pie and newspapers.

There is 10 trouble, Mr.. Coles. The
quarantine is only sharp trick on the
part OF Dallas They advertise quaran-
tine to the world that people may ec

people pass to aud fro at will. All the
quarantine is for is to scare people and
thus hurt Fort Worth's business. There

Mai. Merrill has suddenly awakened 70
the knowledge that he is a prime martyr
in the Republican cause He is on the
eve OF retirement from the army. Should
he be retired in his present rank he would
receive only a majors salary. So he mod
estly asked 10 be advanced to the grade u
lieuienant-coloucl and then retired on the
pay Of an officer OF that rank. The pay OF
retired Northumberland is 1915 more
than that OF retired major, which may
excuse the majors zeal for promotion.
II was discovered, however, that recent
examining board found him incapable as
a major; so the president very properly
took the position that II would be absurd
to advance man TO higher place who
was not capable to perform the duties OF
lower one.
This very wise conclusion does not
save Mai. Merrill from martyrdom. His
Republican friends claim that he is a
victim to rebel fate lie was a Union
soldier in the war, and gallant one,
they say. lie helped to overthrow the
Confederacy, and now the late Confeder.
ate brigadicrs, who have the government
in their hands, are getting even with him
by defeating his promotion.
Probably our esteemed Republican
friends never took second thought thai
should show them to themselves as a par
Gel Of ridiculous donkeys. The Demo
cratic members Of congress, these same
ex-brigadiers OF the defunct Confederacy
put Gen. Grant on the list OF generals, sc
that he could be retired on n salary Of
s1S,500 They gave his wife pension o.
$4,000 year after his death. They have
been the sincerest mourners for Gen
Mcclellan aud Gen. Hancock, and the
wives of those distinguished Union sol
diers will, in the course of legis
lation, be pensloned at the rate
of $4,000 year. To say that the presl
dents refusal TO advance Maj. MERRILL
fortunes was on account OF his services II
the Union army, is to hold that that gal
liant gentleman did more TO overthrow The
Confederacy, which is now "gettlne
event. than did Grant, Mcclellan anC
Hancock, Mai. Merrill may have been {
very dangerous man, and he may think HI
was more dangerous than the Confeder
ate brigadlers ever thought he was, bu
he win hardly say that he did more to de
throne JEFF Davis than either of the BRAY,
generals who are dead, who have been 81
signally honored by those same RELENTLESS
brigadiers from whose vengeance he /

out to be only victim Of his own faults

Ir Is clearly proved that Dallas doesn't
care how many men from Fort Worth go
to Dallas. The desire is, TO keep men
from coming to Fort Worth. From the
date Of the lie about dismissals of schools
in Fort Worth to the time when quaran-
tine dodgers were distributed on icest-
hound trains and the free ingress into
Dallas Of people from Fort Worth, the
purpose OF Dallas has been plain.

Az indiana widow and a widow from
Texas are both laying siege to the corpse
OF the same man in ATLANTA, Ga. Each
swears that the corpse was her former
husband and each is backed up BY wit

case. Meanwhile The corpse preserves
the most rigid silence, uncompromisingly
refusing TO give anything away that
would help or harm either side. Even a
corpse knows that in female wrangIes it
is best to preserve strict neutrality.

WfNoSA, TEX Dec 25.--Last night
the spacious main room Of the high
school building of tnis city was filed with
the larg st and most enthus astic audi
ence ever before assembled to witness
the exhibition and closing exercises Of the
Winona high school The little actors
and actresses we're generously 0pplauded,
az all, or nearly all, were related to MANY

friendship, aud they richly merited all the
applause given them. Prof. j j. Lanier
IL 10 be credited for the promp,ness and
efficiency with which he managed the per-

AS the programme Is q large one we
will not attempt TO give but the opening
and closing pieces. The opening was
an exercise song by Misses Florence and
Laura N len, Sallle Milford, Mary Kay,
Minnie Perkins, Cadelia Shank, Vela and
Beula McMurry, and Miss Mary Adams.
The closing scene was entitled 1.-THE
School Festival" which, considering the
tender years OF most Of the actors and
actresses, was wonderfully executed.
The performance was grand success.
