SAYINGS OF SAM JONES.

1t takes a cold pew to make n cold pulpit.
There is nothing better in heaven than re-
igiOn.
A church that can't do anything but keep
itself straight Is Il failure.
Nobody ever wslt to sleep Indifferent to re-
ligion and walked up in heaven.
\ child is loved by God because it has no
opinion and wants TO learn something.
1t takes first class preacher and first
class nearer to get up a first class sermon.
Dishonesty in the church is really Gripping
Che church more than anything else.
l want TO see our young girls grow up bet
Ter women than cur mothers and wives are.

THE IPLATFORM.

The platform of the Democratic party
of Texas will meet a unanimous APP
proval among Texas Democrats, except
as to the plank relating to the land policy
of the state On this question there is
difference of view among members of
the party as marked as that on prohibi-
ton, and the attempt to make the lease
law vital principle OF the Democracy in
the state was somewhat insulting to the
thousands Of anti-lease men throCghout
the state.
The duty devolving upon free-grass
men is to vote for free-grass men for the
legislature. The land policy OF the state
vitality affects the people and no platform
declaration can or should blind men to
the supreme Importance OF land laws that
will build up instead Of tearing down.
The lease law must go. No Endorsement
of it by eny Democratic convention in
dorses II with the vitality of Democratic
tenet. 1T is a curse, barrier
to the settlement and wrong
to West Texas and hurt to all the state.
No man'sDemocracy is affected by his
opinion OF this question, and its practical
Importance makes it the solemn duty of
every free-grass man to oppose lease-law
candidates for the legislature by every
means possible. Texas, and especially
the West, has suffered already more
than can be told from this vicious policy
Let the people resolve to expunge the in
fanny from the statute books, and 1t will
| be done.

WHEN IL is remembered that WITHIN
the last thirteen months forty-four editors
an6 students have been imprisoned inthe
CITY OF Mexico for the expression OF
opinions unfevorable TO the government,
end a most rigid surveillance is kept over
telegraph and press, it is hardly matter
Of surprise that an outspoken American
editor sho7ld fan into the meshes OF some
law of so inquisitorial country. But
that even country e. far behind the
spirit OF the age should Grrogate to her-
self the power Of governing the action
of foreign subjects on foreign SOL seems
the very height of presumption, and
would challenge belief. 1t is time the
United States taught her wholesome
lesson, aud II we must con-
quer 10 convince, so mote II De.
The state of Texas cannot go to
war with the state Of Chihuahua
but the general governments OF both re-
publics can settle the question, amicably
II they can, but settled 1t must be; and
the spirit Of the border states will not
brock much of the delays attending diplo-
matte action. The government OF the
United States cannot afford TO be rem
dered contemplate in the eyes OF the
world, but mast vindicate her flag, and
institute such policy as shall show to
the watching world the value of its citi-
zenship. Men who urge war may do so
from Interior designs, having political
preierment in their mental vision, but
whether they are ii luenced by such mo-
tives is not the question, but the fact re-
mains, that Bayard made demand OF the
Mexican authorities that thus far they
have failed to comply with. In the mean
time an American citizen languishes in a
Mexican prison, the horrors OF which no
pen can describe, and none appreciate
save those who have endured them.

The Final Plan of Reorganization of the

Special to the Gazette
NEW YORK, Aug. 8 --Atchison, Topeka

bid on the Chicago division of the Wabash
In case 1t is foreclosed, and add that
when the Atchison gets ready to go to
Chicago 1t will do so over it's own line.
The last and final plan for the reorgani-
zation Of the Texas & Pacific will be out
in few days. 1t is the sixth and surely
the last, for II promises concessions to
the income bondholders which they can
accept, and provides for the claim of the
Missouri Pacific by the issue of SS, 900, 900
more Of the Texas stock, which will vir-
tually give that company the control Of
the recognized corporation. In other re-
spects the Fleming plans will be adopted
with very slight alterations. 1t will be

Sen. Wistar as chairman. Hon. c. j..
