This fact may be taken for all that IL is
worth more OF less, according as fell
low tayors the judge or some other
fellow. But so far as il goes, II is n
solid nucleus around which the judges
friends will rally. 1t insures for that
gentleman's candidacy as United States
senator the influence OF the Austin
lobby, and that il not to be sneeZed at.
The south is rapidly becoming recon-
structed. Her railroads have all come
into line and are reconstructed on a
northern basis. There is now one gauge
from Main to Texas.
IT THE Belfast riots are any indication
Of the temper OF Irish prOtestants
towards Irish catholics. it will be cold
day for Ireland when the Orangemen get
the ascendency. The intense bitterness
Of this sectional feeling cannot be under
stood by any one who has not lived
among these fanatic religiOnists, and
interpreted their yearly outbreaks.
Even in Canada, the feuds bet
"Orangemen" and "Paplsts" are so bit
ter that the parades Of the Orangemen,
celebrating the discontinue of the cath
olics by the prince Of Orange at the
battle Of the BOyne, usually end in muir
derOus encounters between the two fac
tions. The battle cry Of the Orangemen
is usually ito hell with the pope" and
their demonstrations are generally most
offensive TO catholics. The spirit of in
tolerance has never been carried to such
lengths In any protestant community as
1t is in the north Of Ireland. Home rule
means the freeing Of Irish catholics from
the despOtism of these protestant fanat-
les, and II 1t fails, Il bloody day for Ire
land will dawn. II such eNcesses AS the
temporary defeat of hOme rule engen-
ders follows that temporary failure. what
will be the result if home rule is denied
to Ireland? The answer will be written
in blood.
maxwell is singular fellow in mis- be-
liefs. He believes in his own innocence,
ceiye new trial, no one else does; he
believes he will escape the gallOws, no
one else does.
The Houston Age is an age behind
the time and sadly in its dOtage when it
advocates the candidacy of Judge Cook,
for governor; a man who has irrevoCably
cooked his own judgeship.
TIE Houston Post says. General Ross
Hoped on the land question" Worse
than, that. lie has Hoped on the peO-
ples griddIe, and in his attempt to flop
he goes out of the frying pan into the
lire.
The Houston Post SHES its castor in
to the ring and calls for the appearance
of the professional liar" of San Anto-
MO who charged the Post with being
the custodian of one of SWANS political
promises. The Post has got job on its
professional political liar during this
campaign. Judging from the beginning
the whole thing is run on lie, condensed
lie.
NORTH Texas wants a North Texas
man for Governor; South Texas wants
ditto; the Examiner wants Waco man
who will pass for general, all round the
ring candidate. There are plenty OF sec.
tons that can trOt out candidates. the
woods are full of them. Whom do the
people want, is a question that has
hardly materialized as yet. The people
will ask it in time and their answer will
be final. This is not slate makers wear.
Ir Is generally conceded that Sui Ross
ran against snag at Cameron. The
signing swain was too much for the old
general. SWANS victory, it is also said,
will cost him the nomination. Selah.
TnE Houston Age seeks for something
original in the senatorial candidate it
would favor. 1t is not enough that a
man be an able scholar, profound
thinker, far-seeing statesman; these
are only "clap-trap' according to the
Age. Something original is what the
Age pines for. If the Age can get its
candidate for governor elected it will
have no trouble about the originality
business. Original sin if no more. Some
men would rather be, have, and become
original fools in their cape for origin
ality than learn wise methods from
others.
MAJ. BRACKENRIDGE receives the home
endorsement for governor. Eight-ninths
OF the votes cast in the primaries were
for him. Where does Swain come in.
or was this not SWANS deal?
KILLING is no murder, when it comes to
killing an engine, not even manslaughter
in the fourth degree. This is the decis-
ion OF the Texas court of appeals.
THERE is an evident desire on the part
OF Judge Cooks organ to hold the
knights of Labor, in convention assem-
bled, responsible for what they don't
do. The organ will find work enough
In defending its candidate in what he
does do.
The riotous Orangemen who have
r'ided Belfast for two days past have
been brought to terms only by the or
ders OF the military authorities to bring
the soldiers in garrison to the assistance
