The free trade democracy OF Texas
have no use for a proteotionist Journal
list, and their Animus is plainly seen in
the persistent attempts they are making
to relegate the Express to Its old home
in the bosom Of the republican party.
Its last offence, an adverse criticism Of
Carlisle's last speech, lie one that cannot
be cOndoned, and the cry has orened lus-
lily all along the trail. Texas is way of
on her protection notions, anyway. The
democracy OF Louisiana, Alabama, Miss
issippi, Georgia and Tennessee are by
no means such rabid free trade advu-
Gates as are the Texan democracy, and
what 10 regarded Ms democratic treason
In Texas Is put forth Ms fret class demo-
cratic doctrine in many other democrat
lie centers. The Express does not suffer
from it's prOtectionist views, however.
lie democracy never was more than
skin deep and change back to the old
political affiliations Of it's owners, man
ayers and editor, would not seriously
disturb Its equanimIty. The protection
list sentiment Is strong In the very cir
cles where multiplication journals
seem TO flourish, and the ne wspaper that
pioneers protection In the democratic
ranks Of this state Is sure to have a big
following. The Express is wise enough
to know and take advantage ofthls fact.
The st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat, In o
recent issue speaking OF the probable
complications OF the presidential cleo
ton OF 1883, accepts. among other things,
the candidacy OF a nominee Of the labor
party. This, II says, will give rise to
animated discussions MS To the part
taken by the two great political p"rties
OF the nation on the questions or labor
reform and the labor legislation given
the country by each. II welcomes this
controversy as one that will demonstrate
beyond all cayil that the republican
party has rendered incOmparably greater
services TO the labor interests OF the ma
ton than the democratic party has.
While this 10 true, and capable OF aLund-
ant yerificatiOn, 1t Ia also true that this
very fact, more than any other, imperils
the success OF the republican party In
1888. The republican party Is and has
been the party OF labor reform just as
that same party has been the party OF
temperance reform. The votes for tenn
p, rance candidates, and for labor candi-
dates alike, are drawn from the ranks OF
the republican party, and by so much do
they weaken II and put 1t under the feet
Of the democracy. Had the votes, other
wise republican, that were cast for the
prohibition party In 1884 been cast for
the republican party James g. Blaine
would now be the chief exeGutiye OF this
republic. The democracy Is steadily
losing ground, not gaining; but the pre-
hibition and labor parties are draining
more votes from the republican ranks
than the democracy is losing through
detection and desertion Of its members.
With two tickets In the field In 1883 the
republican triumph is as certain as fate.
With four candidates in the field repub-
licsn victory is exceedingly doubtful.

The one lion in the way OF republican
success in 1888 is the prohibition vote Of
the doubtful states. In Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Ohio. Michigan and
Minnesota, the prohibltionists hold the
balance Of po wer. Their votes increased
In all the northern states from los, 1888 In
1884, to 203 1856, In 1886. A like increase
for the next two years will give pro-
hlbiton vote Of 4OO,OOO In the next presi-
dental election and that vote will be
largely republican. The democratic
prohibition vote In the southern states
will by no means offset this, although
that vote has largely increased. 1t will
be the turn of the democratic states to
feel the force Of the prohibition move
ment in 1890, the republicans will feel
the tidal wave in 1888. IL not swamped
then they will have long lease Of
power.

TEXAS Is talking up a third peniten-
tiary. lfanother penitentiary is erected
It should be at Burnett; the walls should
enclose the quaTries, II II takes five years
to build them, and then the cOnvicts
should be kept at work within the walls.
Dressing stone for city paving might
furnish employment to the state prison
ers for some years to come and furnish II
without interfering with the employ
ment OF free labor elsewhere. The
question OF street paving Is one Of the
vexing questions Of Texas. At Burnet
the granite for paving purposes Is found
In inexhaustible quantities. The state
could well afford to put her conyicts to
work preparing granite pavement for
the cities OF the state at minimum
cost No doubt the railways OF the
state would give special rates on pave
ment stone, as IL would tend to build up
general trade and railway revenues
San Antonio might thus In time come to
have her principal streets paved with
solid granite at a minimum expense,
and settle this veXed question OF mud
adversely to the present unsightly and
mud swamped or dust swept system.
The case is simple enough. The con-
victs want work; the state wants new
penitentiary; the free labor OF the state
demands that convict labor no longer
compete with II; the cities Of Texas
need paving with some stone hard
enough to meet the requirements OF a
solid pavement. All these ends may be
met by building a penitentiary at Bur-
net and keeping the state cOnylots at
work dressing stone for the payements
OF our cities.

THE Atlanta Constitution Loyalty 'tsticks
up for Lee, and blandly comforts itself with
the reflection that chad he lived he would
not have written line of war history" for
the reason that "the great confederate COM
mander regarded the war as one of the saddest
chapters in the annals of our country" The
delicacy of General Lee on this point on this
question would have been beautiful to be-
hold. It is an established rule, however,
that the gentleman who makes the corpse is
seldom called upon to write up The funeral.

Surf was last evening instituted upon the
bond of the late city treasurer, against Mr..
Pattison and his bondsmen, the demand being
for the full amount of his shortage, something
over one hundred and ten thousand dollars.
This action is in accordance with the instruc
ton of the councils. The Journal has be-
lieved, and still believes, that the wisest and
best thing, from business point of view,
would have been to accept the proposed com
promise, and is willing to go on record to that
effect. We feel quite certain that more
money would have been realized to the city
by that plan than by the tedious, expensive
and uncertain methods of a suit; but the coun-
ellis determined otherwise, and theirs must be
the responsibility.

add to the distress of mugwump contempt

to bear, but honesty compels the statement of
our conviction that Mr.. Scott Ray does, in this

may be weak and silly-far be it from us to

Mr.. METcALF, formerly editor of the North
American Review, has been indexing Grants
memoirs for the publishers, and the issuing
of the second volume has been delayed by the
curious difficulty Of the work. Mr.. Metcalf
says he never had such job in his life; that
Grant not being an experienced literary man
had no thought of indexing, and spoke all
through his book of Smiths, and Jones's, and
other officers by their last names only, with
out giving any clew to their identity. There
are twenty-four Smiths mentioned, and only
occasionally is the Christian name mentioned.
This popularity has added much work Of re-
search and verifcation to the labors of Mr..
Metcalf, and has delayed the appearance OF
the volume for month.

have to be increased to make good the loss.
Their prophecy seems to have been fulfilled,
and there is considerable trouble over it among
men who are willing to have temperance reform
only as gift It is explained by the asses
sors that tho tax rates were too low before the
prohibitory law was adopted-that an increase
was imperative, and that the rise was not
traceable to the loss of the saloon money. 1t
is not apparent that the investment would not
be good one anyhow, even though taxes
were higher temporarily. The liquor traffic is

THE Senate of the United States is body
constitutionally clothed with high and inn
portant powers, and is not to be approached,
even by the President, without due and proper
respect and dignity. Whether Mr.. Cleveland
has done that or not in his message respecting
removals from Office, is question of taste.
To prize-ring bruiser Mr. Clevelands style
might be chaste and deferential, but among
gentlemen accustomed to the proprieties of
good society it may appear cross and ill-tem-
pered. In one part of the message he
says: eff the presence of these papers in the
public Offices is stumbling block in the way
Of the performance Of senatorial duty, it can
be easily removed" At another place he says:
$50 it happens that, after an extension Of
nearly twenty years of almost innocuous
desuetude, these laws 1.-THE tenure of Office
laws] are brought forth, apparently the re-
pealed as well as the unrepealed, and put in
the way of an executive who is willing if
permitted, to attempt an improvement
in the methods Of administration.
And once more: "The pledges I have made
were made to the people, and to them am re-
sponsible for the manner in which they have
been redeemed. am not responsible to the
Senate, and am unwilling to submit nv ac-
tions and official conduct to them for iudg-
ment." AS we have said judgment upon the
propriety and dignity of such expressions on
the part of the President to the Senate of the
United States must be matter of taste. AS
they seem to us, they appear to be ill-tem-
pered, ill-mannered and purposely offensive.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says Of this remark
able document:
He says, with bluntness meant to be
offensive, that he Is not responsible to the
Senate, and that he will not allow that BODY
to sit in judgment on his actions. But the
Constitution did not make the President an
autocrat He cannot make appointments
without the advice and consent of the Senate.
What he would like to do is not the question.
What he must do under the Constitution NAV
be inconvenient and unpleasant, but il is not
easy to see how he will avoid doing it, Au-
dacity in the defense of mere prerogative NAV
count for good deal as demagogic appeal to
partisan spirit, but defiance of the Constitu-
ton, or any parade of narrow Interpretation
of its provisions to suit party or personal pur-
poses, was never countenanced by the Amer
lean people"
There can be no question of Mr.. CleveIand's
motive in writing and sending the message
He intended it as defiance to the Senate.
and as an assertion of that quality Of s'obsti-
macy" which is his sole stock in trade, and of
which he seems to Be proud in like degree
that DR.. John L. Sullivan Is Of his strength.
There is also the additional fact that the mes
