JUDGE DAVID DAVIS DEAD.

Judge David Davis is no more, and with
his decease passes away one of those great
characters which go to make up nations
history. He was, undoubtedly, more gen
orally known than any one at present in
public life in this country.
Judge Davis was born in Cecil county,
Maryland, March ., 1915, and had, there
fore, passed the allotted three score and ten.
He graduated from Kenyon college,
Ohio,in 1882 and studied law for time in
Massachusetts and afterwards at the Law
school at New Haven, Connecticut. He
settled at Bloomington, Illinois, in 1885,
and was notably successful in his profess
sion of law. In 1874 he was elected to the
Legislature as whig and in 1S47 was a
member of the convention that framed
the constitution of Illinois. He was
elected as a judge of the Sth Judicial
court of the state in 1S4s
and reelected in 1855 and 1861. He
was an intimate friend of Abraham
Lincoln and was member of the conven.
ton which nominated him for the presi-
dency in 1860. On December 5, 1862, he
was appointed associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States, and
after Lincolns death was administrators OF
his estate. In February, 1872, he was, by
the national convention of the labor re-
form party, nominated as a candidate fol-
president, but he afterwards concluded tC

March, 1877, he resigned his position OF
supreme judge in order to take hi;

While in the senate Judge Davis wa;
classed as an independent, but generally
acted with the democrats when it came t
party vote. He retired from public
life about two years ago and married ;
young lady, and since that time until his
death has lived quietly at his home il

DIR. DABNEY'S ARTICLE.

The Galveston News, some days ago,
upon its own garbled selection of alb
stracts, saw fit to predicate an unwarrant-
ed attack and an unjust criticism of Prof
Dabney, of our state university. They
even went the length of making him APP
pear inimical to primary education and
newspaper circulation. In Fridays issue
of that paper, there appeared aletter from
DR.. Dabney answering the attack; refut
ing it in bold, dignifed and convincing
words; language projecting the man as he
is-noble and generous; gentleman and
scholar. Yet, still distraught, the News,
in labored column editorial, first refutes
itself, disproving the insinuations il
feared to make as charges then weaves
an endless chain of sophistical argument,
whose wondrous conclusion is, "as the
schools are now, and as the press is now
they will remain until the labor question
is settled" Verify, the word hath gone
forth!
The whole gist of the News action can b,
found in DIR. Dabney's letter. II was per
fectly aware, Messrs. Editors, that wa:
enouncing some views unpalatable to Ger
tain classes. But it is sometimes very
wholesome and necessary that SEINE one
should assert such doctrines The dec

/ Oran NJ. Roberts, esq. would arrive and
announce his willingness to have the
onerous duties of the gubernatorial posi-
ton thrust ON his broad shoulders. Then
the band would play Hail to the chief
who in triumph advances" Honored
and blest be the old corn-cob pipe" etc,
and the "old alcalde" would spring up
and with whoop and hurrah take the
nomination. How gorgeous is this pic
ture ! No wonder that the temptation
could not be resisted by mortal. But
look sharp, Governor Roberts. Do not
let Taylor county make you lose your
head, for the eyes of some of your former
supporters are are watching you with a
questioning look. They begin to doubt
their own eyes.
They ask themselves the question, SIS
this the man who was so modest in ac-
cepting the nomination few years ago"
They cannot reconcile the idea of that
man who was so honored taking a posi-
ton which is so ambiguous. Governor
Roberts may be for Ross, and he may have
his reasons, but he owes it to his friends
and himself to state why this change has
taken place in his preference. If you do
not give the public good reason, do not
be thin skinned if they assign their own,
for it is their privilege.

ORGANIZE.

The democratic party has put its ticket
in the field. It has had the fight within
the party, and as the convention has put
an end to that, the fight now is with the
party opposed to democracy. 1t now be-
hooves those who are genuinely interested
in party success to set to work with de-
termination to win.
Now is the time to lay the foundation
for the defeat of any and all schemes
that may be concocted to de-
feat the democratic party and
wrench from majority of the people the
privilege of choosing the man they want.
One of the best ways to accomplish this
object will be the formation of democratic
clubs in every ward in the city and pre-
cinct in the county. This is part the
young democracy shines in especially
They have done more efficient work in
marshaling the clans and concentrating
their forces by we'll conducted political or
CARNATIONS than pages of newspaper
work or days of blowing on the street
corners.
There is no better time than the pres
ent to organize these clubs. The STATES
MAN offers its services to all clubs that
may be formed, to assist in notifying the
people of meetings, etc. The opposing
party has not yet shown its strength, no
well-developed plan has been formulated,
and it is better when it does come, for the
democratic party to be organized and
drilled, to meet any and all attacks, and
to take advantage of any mistake. Well
conducted ward meetings here in the
city will keep the voters in those wards
we'll up in the news of how the fight goes,
and will keep them keenly alive to every
movement. 1t prevents that lukewarm
spirit, which so often interferes with
party success, and generally prevails after
a hot intra party contest. 1t will be alb
solutely necessary to bring out the party
and how it stands should be known, not
only in the democratic party, but in the
opposition also, and in that way the
strength of the party can be more accu-
rately guaged. Call your meetings and
elect good, energetic officers without re-
gard to what candidate they supported
for the legislature. That is all past now
and let all join in pushing on to a victory,
which belongs to you because of superior
ity of numbers. The democratic party
cannot be defeated by the opposition
alone this fall, defeat would only be
caused by lukewarmness and inactivity in
the party.

NO LONGER A DOUBT.

There is no longer a doubt ranking in
the bosoms of Texas politicians. The
troubled waters have Gained, and the
waves subside since the disturbing element
is gone. The sold Alcalde" has opened
his mouth and proclaimed to some choice
friends his preference for governor.
There is a verse in the bible which reads
somewhat this way: Because We are nei-
Their hot nor cold will spew you out of
my mouth" Now, this would seem to apply
to Gov. 0ran NJ. Roberts, because he
has heretofore expressed himself as favor
ing Colonel Swain. Now, what does this
flop mean? Governor Oran NJ. Roberts
has swept the political horizon with a
double lens telescope, and has seen that
Swain is getting too strong, and that an
alliance with him would result in an I'M
doubted victory on the first ballot, if the
sold Alcalde" were to bring his corporals
guard of delegates over to the latter gen.
tteman. So he takes up his trunk and his
delegates therein, and packs over to
She Ross camp, because he thinks he
would stand better chance there to lock
ehe convention. Then, with the delegates
from the large and growing state of Texas
locked as to their choice for governor,

COKE AND TERRELL.

An article in the Labor Echo reviews
Senator Coke's speech in the senate, on
the 18th of May, in which he sustains a
law-abiding organization, and demands
that the industries of the country shall be
relieved by wiping out watered railway
stocks, or, as Judge Terrell expressed it,
squeezing" the water out of railway
stocks, concludes as follows;
"On all these issues Terrell stands hand
in hand with Coke.
He committed himself to them without
equivocation, year before Coke placed
himself on record. Senator Maxey is 81
lent on the subject, so is Governor Ireland.
They both seem indisposed to bring down
upon themselves the bitter opposition of
the railroads, which Terrell has boldly de-
fed.
Under the circumstances, which of the
three opponents who will enter the field
before the next legislature for the senate
rialship of the United States can be most
safely trusted!'

A PERIPATGTIC COURT.

There are yet many relics of Texas AZ
she used to be, yet remaining with us
which are quite inconsistent with the pro
gress and advanced ideas of to-day. One
of them is great nuisance to the state al
large, and should be abolished as it results
in hardships to great many and advant'
ages to but few. This is the law requiring
the supreme court to hold sessions
at three different points in the
state viz: at Tyler, Galveston and Austin
instead of at one point, the capital. In
early days when railroad facilities were
unknown there was very good reason for
holding the court in places which would
be more convenient to the different sec
tions of the state, in that it would have
been hardship to make parties to and
attorneys in the trials travel so far in
But to-day the state of Texas is firmly
knitted together by vast lines of railroads
central point in the state readily accessi-
BILE without any hardship. The present
system has only one advantage over the
one for single place of sitting, and that
is that it subserves the private interests
of Galveston and Tyler, with great disad-
vantages to the remainder of the state.
OF course the abolition of the present
system would cause an cutlery from the
two last named places, but if they can give
any good reason why it should be contin-
ued, hundred can be given why it
should not. The nuisance, in the first
place, of requiring the judges to follow
their peripatetic coult is sufficient of it.
self to convince a sensible, unbiased per-
son, because at present it is impossible
for these judges to live where
they hold courts unless they moved sever
al times year. Again it necessitates the
great expense of three libraries, and of
three clerks, and, of other similar ex
penses and besides viewing it from a
practical standpoint, the parties and
attorneys living in Ell Paso, and many
other points in the state, who come to
Austin at present have to traYel farther
and at greater disadvantage than any
who now attend court at
Tyler and Galveston, even if
the court were moved to Austin,
OF course, it would benefit Austin, but
aside from this benefit, if that were an
objection, the many reasons for having a
central and single point should obviate
any prejudice on this account. There may
be states in the United States which have
the same system as the one IN use here,
but if so, they are few and all of them
are relics of backwoods times, when it
was almost imperative for practical justice.
If the court were to be made permanent
in Austin, grand library
could be gathered at onethird of the ex-
pense at present attending such feat.
The judges could move their families
here, just as the government officials do
at present and many. other similar reasons
could be given.
When the State Bar association meets it
should attend to this grievance as it is
is necessary that it should be remedied
and no time is better than the present.

THE OUTRAGES AT CHICAGO.

The dispatches this morning contain
accounts of further outrages and acts of vi
olence by the Lake Shore strikers at Chi
cago. The strikers, it seems, not con,
tent with a sudden with
drawal from the company's SER
vice, preventing other men from work
ing, and preventing the moving of freight
trains, have made more than one attempt
at wrecking passenger trains In one
instance, an express train with large
number of passengers narrowly escaped
being thrown from the track by a mis-
placed switch. That there was not a
frightful accident and hundreds of men,
women and children-innOcent victims,
having nothing to do with the quarrel
were not killed, or manned for life, was no
fault of the strikers.
Such criminal and monstrous acts of
violence, following so close upon the
heels of the reign of terror on the Missouri
Pacific, its incidents of destruction of
property, boycotting, bridge burning,
wrecking trains, poisoning cisterns
murder and bloody deviltries-the scenes
now transpiring at Chicago demand the
profound attention and calm, deliberative
considera ion of the country.
Here we see few reckless and desper-
ate villains, with no property of their own
to lose, tyrannizing over a whole com.
munity, willing to burn and destroy
wreck trains and cause the death of hun
dreds of innocent people, in order TO take
revenge on railroad company, whose
only offence is running its affairs to suit
itself.
How long are the people of this coun
try--the property owners and the public
going to stand this sort of thing? No
forever. Property will protect itself il

From Gen. Miles.

Special to THE DAILY ToNBsToEEJ
 WAsHINaToN, Aug. 26.-Adjutant General Drum, received the following dispatch from General Miles, dated Fort Huachuca, A. T: "Lieutenant Colonel Forsyth returned to this post yesterday, from Fronteras, Sonora. He reports that the hostiles are in the mountains some distance from Fronteras, and that the Mexican authorities were to answer Geronimo's overtures yesterday. The Indians were apprehensive of treachery on the part of the Mexicans. I am in formed by Governor Torres that he has directed the official to offer only terms of unconditional surrender. the same as our officers require. All report that the Indians are much worn out and tired. Capt. Lawton's command is in good condition, and he believes he can kill, capture or force the Indians to surrender, and have every confidence in his ability and untiring energy. Should he force them near our line, our troops will assist him."

 WASHINGTON D. C., Aug. 26.-Gov Zulick of Arizona Is in tLis city advo- eating the removal of the Apaches from that Territory. He is confident that there can be no peace solong as they remain in their present haunte. Secretary Lamar was asked this after noon what he thought of the recom- mendation of Gen. Miles, Gov. Ross of New Mexico and Coy. zulick of Arizona, in this particular. He re- piled:
 q agree with them exactly. The Apaches should be removed. There cal be no doubt of it. They are a constant menace to the Whites. This is particularly the case su far as those who are held as prisoners of war are concerned. They are of course. dis satisfied to certain extent, and there are restless spirits among them who are constantly urging an outbreak. For years they have subsisted very largely upon stolen cattle etc., and they apparently prefer that method of existence to anything that savers of civilization"
 "Where will they be taken toH"
 "Thlt is the question that is troub- ling us 1 do not wish to say anything about It at present as we are consid ering it. They are equally objection able to any other section. They are particularly dangerous in mountain ous and desert country where no whites can go. They have for gener- ations resided in such regions end know how to make the most of it. Of course there are some of the Apaehes who seem disposed to behave reason- ably well but those who have once been on the war-path like Geronimo's band will never be anything but 2 menace to the whites"
 "How many are there of these?"
 About 400 of those who are presen- ted by the chiefs that were here in Washington and about forty of Ger onimo's band. It is a great problem to decide upon the Lest and safest place to send these spoadic and dan gerous people"
 "How would the sTamps of Florida do?"
