GLADSTONE has completed his Scotch
canvass in excellent health and spirits.
He was never seen to better advantage
than in this the supreme struggle of his
life. One more month of such contest
as England has never before witnessed
and the result will be known, as it is
now understood that the election will
occur about the 23rd Of July. Whatever
the result it can have no effect in dis
placing Mr.. Gladstone from the position
he has won as the foremost English
statesman Of this century.

purchased in this city package Of Prof.

and find that the same Is composed of pure
and non-poisenous chemicals.
The idea OF Prof Horsford was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritiye value of
bread. and the bOne-producing elements OF
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

OUR state capitol will be glory to
Texas. Iron for the second floor has ar
rived from Belgium. Put under con-
tract to Chcaigo syndicate who were
given 100000 acres of valuable land to
construct a S2,O0O,OOO building; sublet to
a stone mason who employs convict
labor, and the scab stone cutters of
Scotland; supplied with foreign mate
rial for its construction at the hands of
serf-labor, the glorious capitol of the
great state of Texas grows to its COM
petitions disgrace to its projectors, a
standing monument of the peoples deg
radiation, a libel upon free labor, an
epltome of mismanagement and a
wasteful expenditure of the peo-
pies property, to mark an era of such
lack of craftsmanship as it is profoundly
to be hoped the state may never again
be cursed with. The state capitol, what
ever it may be to others, will be to our.
selves a landmark Of our own disgrace.

WITH disinterestedness entirely I'M
expected In such quarters, some OF the
anti-Swain sheets are devOting whole
editorial columns to the unseliish work
of demonstrating that the comptroller is
only wasting his energies in run over
the gubernatorial nomination course. 1t
has surprised no one but these self-con-
stituted advisers that Swain has not fall
len upon his knees in profound thankful
ness. Some men run for office to get
there, and when they see that they can
not get there they stay in all the same
to prevent some other fellow getting
there. Swans friends may not carry
the convention, but they will have
compromise weight that the other can
didates may well fear in their uncer-
tainty as to which scale it will be put
into. Fear and trembling is the inevi-
table destiny of the gubernatorial can
didates in this campaign. Even after
nomination there may be contingencies
of which no man has present knowledge.

The advice given by the democratic
Journals Of Texas to farmers would puz-
zle old nick to follow. One editor gives
them down the banks for not attending
the democratic primaries and so seeing
that good men are chosen for the con-
ventions; another cOunsels them to take
an active part in the political meetings
and enforce the Claims-Of their own can
didates within the democratic party;
another charges them with being green
hackers and having no place in demo-
cratic gatherings; another cares little
what they do, so they don't desert the
party;-the facts are that the votes OF
the farmers are badly wanted by the
democracy, but the democracy have no
use for the reform candidates that the
farmers want nominated. This is the
whole case in a nut shell.
NEW ORLEANS won't know herself next
January. Despite all the efforts made
by the minority of the Legislature ana
many leading citizens to induce the gov
ernOr to Withhold his signature from the
Sunday bill, the document was signed
on yesterday. When this law goes into
effect. on next January, New Orleans
will have regular picnic. No stores
open, no places Of amusement, all liquor
saloons closed, no green grocers carts or
bakers wagons or ice cream vendors al
lowed in all that goodly city hereafter
forever. 1t may be that the Crescent
city will quietly go to sleep on Saturday
night and not wake up again until the
following Monday, but 1t is incredible.
That she will be forced into church
going as dernier resort does not seem
probable. An astOnished continent will
look on in amaZement. One might have
believed such things of Chicago, or Gin
cinnati, or San Francisco. or Kansas
City, or even San AntOniO-but New
Orleans was the last, the very last, city
on American soil where it was deemed
possible such a law could possibly gov
ern. The law is there now; January
will determine how far its prohibitions
will be respected and Obeyed.
