WHO DO REPRESENT THE Pgo.
PLE2

In their rather remarkable 'seoret cir
eular'' the knights OF Labor aud the
Farmers alliance assert that the public
Offices have for years sheen filled by men
who do not represent the lSborIng classes
or masses Of the people" So, in order to
give the people a chance to vote for men
who do represent the masses, they con-
siderately designate those men, so that
nobody shall make mistake.
OF the men selected, two, NJ. Fur
man and n. Il, Bowlin, are Az present in
office, Yet these very meu are included
among those, who, It is declared, do not
represent the masses OF the people. win
they represent the people any better by
being elected as candidates of the anti
Democratic party in this county than
when elected by the people at large,
AS they were IN lssly Another Of

fore the Democratic convention, they
must reverse front In the county contests
Where, as In Palo Pinto county, local
tickets have been nominated, they must
be withdrawn and the action Of those who
nominated than must be condemned.
The Democratic discipline is too strict to
allow the enemies Of the pal ty name It's
candidates. II the Farmers alliances
and the Knights OF Labor will not with
draw their autl-Democratic candidates 10
the county contests, their delegates will
have as little chance In Democratic
state convention as cat In sheol with
out claws.
But maybe Mr.. Martin doesn't intend
to submit himself to Democratic con-
yention. That is the talk now. An in
dependent OF mopgrel ticket In the com
ing campaign would possess unusual
elements Of strength. With the Farmers
alliance and the Knights OF Labor behind
1t, controlling, as they claim, more than
hundred thousand voters, the opposi-
ton candidate is not to be trified with.
OF course these 100000 voters will not
cast 100000 votes for him, as many OF
them will adhere to the Democratic party
at all odds; but there are other sources
OF strength. The Republicans will sup
port any man to beat the Democrats, as
was shown in the last election, when they
gave Wash Jones an almost solid vote,
while Norton received few contempt
bic thousands. Probably $4,000 votes
may be counted as from this source.
The Greenbackers and the Prohi,
bitionists, two insignificant squads,
will help to swell the total
These rabble forces, united, are not
despicable in point of numbers. The op.
position count upon them, and they will
be found rallying to the support OF some
one against the Democratic candidate; II
not Marion Martin, some other person.
At present everything points to Marion
Martin as the man.
lie wants to be governor. His ambi.
ton for that position led 10 the split with
Ireland, who coveted denomination Ia
1854. He is just as anxious for the honor
now. As the marked candidate of the
Farmers alliance ard the Knights OF La
Dor, anti-Democratlc in their tendencies,
he win receive little consideration in
convention OF Democrats The logic CT
1t all is that there is to be IN Independent
candidate, and Marion Martin is the man.
Well, let it be so. He is as good a within
as any other.

We have hope that MFR. Dunlap and
Mr.. Powderly. and the men who believe

their associates from the rashness Of

create bad feeling, for II will dlscredit
the conduct OF the men who led the

In CHICAGO, three or four years ago,
the socialists polled $4,000 votes. They
elected one state senator aud three mem
bers OF the other house. The great mass
OF them are Germans, Poles and Bohe-
mians. They have, however, not much
hold on the Irish or English, or the ma
tive American element, albeit they are
reinforced by ignorance wherever 1t If
found. Butthe experience within the past
month has shown concusively that we
have been too free to admit them. 1t is
time to call for Il halt. No other country
In the world would consent TO be an
asylum for II dangerous class. II 1t Is
unconstitutional to prohibit their coming
here, why, amend the constitution. That
celebrated document was framed 100
years ago TO ENSURE domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense and Sc
cure the blessings OF liberty" When It
falls TO accomplish It's benencent purpose
let il be changed, We have now all the
socialists, anarchists, nihillsts and for
elgners who are opposed to the spirit OF
American institutions that we can take
care OF, unless there Is an awakening OF
healtbful American sentiment.

RAILROADS AND BUSINESS RE-
WAL


Railroad building Is more active now
than 1t has been since 1881, when more
miles We're added TO the railway system
OF the country than In any year, before or
since. Contracts have been let thus far
for 1000 miles, and the year is not half
gone, Competent authorities estimate
the probable mileage Of the year at TO-
100.
Texas Is more than doing her part of
this great work. Every town In the state
of any considerable Importance is alert
for another road, and the most substan-
tial encouragement is given to them.
Fort Worth, OF course, easily stands at
the head, but she has many imitators In
railroad enterprise, and It may fairly be
said that the whole state Is on q railroad
boom, Old towns that have been
buried in the undlsturbed dust of
decade are waking and crying
for railroad connections, aud the
cry Is practically supplemented with of
ters OF large bonuses and subsidies.
Already standing Atth among the states in
the order OF the number OF miles OF rail-
roads, Texas will, when the roads as now
projected are completed, stand but one
or two from the head, and before many
years Will head the list.
The best thing about this revival OF
railroad building does not lie In the ex.
tension OF transportation facilities alone,
but in the fact that II Is the symptom OF q
recovery from the financial depression Of
the last two or three years. Railroads
are not built ID dun times, nor during
declining prospects, but only when
the business of the country ii
ON an ascending grade. 1t takes
10 great deal OF IRON and labor tc
build 10000 miles of railroad, and The
money thus let loose VIII do a great deal
to bring about the good times that are SO
much wished for. It VIII give work to
an army Of lsborers, to mills, mines and
manufacturers, and these in turn will
furnish employment to artisans OF every
calling. Before the close OF 1856 the
country win be on the crest OF another
wave Of prosperity.

Ifprohibltlon we're an effective way Of
stopping the use Of whisky, It would as
effectuAlly prohibit the sale thereof. The
reports Of the federal revenue officers do
not show that in Kansas prohibition is
driving the whisky traffic TO the wall.
On the contrary, II seems 10 nourish and
strengthen that traffic. The books OF the
United States collector OF internal rev.
enue show marked Increase in the num-
Der OF stamps issued to dealers In spirits
for the year ending April 30, 1856, over
the previous year. The actual figures
are as follows;
Retail liquor doalera' stamps lssued for

The total number Of places where in
toxicants are sold In the state where the
revenue law has been complied with is
now zoos. This Is probably about 20 per
cent. Of the number Of places In the state
where intoxicants are sold aud the law
not complied with.
The evidence Of these ngures is con
vincing to any man open to conviction
that prohibition as factor in promoting
temperance is failure.
I On the opposite hand it is proved by
figures as authentic as those quoted tina,
ia those states which have adopted high
license the decrease in the number Of
drnking-places is from one-fourth to one
third Of the total number, and at the
same time the revenue is doubled and
trebled.
The people of Texas may say for them
selves whether they will cut down the
number Of places where liquor is sold,
and increase their revenue from that
source by high license, or increase the
number of such places, encourage viola.
lions Of law, and cut off the revenue from
that source entirely, by prohibition.
