urally turn to John d. Mccall, the pres
ent competent chief clerk of that depart
ment. He has held the position since
1876, which makes him familiar with all
it's details, and besides, is a gentleman of
the finest attainments and worry to the
highest degree. The time has come
when we mustlook'to worthy and efficiency,
and not to the man, when filling offices in
which the whole people of the state are
nterested.-Jefferson Jimplecute.
We endorse what the Jimplecute says
about John D. Mccall. He is the man
that we want.

Railroad men in Mexico ought to have
about seven hundred dollars a day as
wages. They have to run about as many
risks of loss of life and Imprisonment
and hardships in year as soldier in
four years of war.
Governors of other states might find
valuable hint in the Belohradsky case.
Texas will not submit to have her ma
chinery for the extraditiOn of criminals
used to collect the private debts of indi-
viduals in other states. A note, under
scored, should be made of this fact.
The Champion.
John d. Mccall the present chief clerk
in the comptroller's office, will probably
, be candidate for the position of his su-
perior, Hon. W. j. Swain, who, himself,
will be candidate for governor at the
| proper time. The Champion is able to
3 conscientious,y recommend Mr. Mccall
for the position to which he aspires. He
5 is one of natures noblemen, is fully com
5 petent, understands every detail of the
Office, and withal is upright, affable, and
accommodating. He is just such a man
as will make an honest and faithful pub

The great battle between money and

greater or lesser extent. The expert

test. The fate of the knights of labor

. The United States has invaded the SOY
