A PRIVATE letter from Dallas, not in
tended for publication, shows a most en-
cOuraging condition of affairs, political
ly, in that section OF Texas. Among
other things the writer, who is one Of
the best posted men on the situation in
Texas, says: North Texas will show
up tremendous gains for the republican
nominees" an this section we are
hopeful OF success" at looks as though
the time had arrived for change"
thousands Of democrats will vote with
the republicans this fall as rebuke to
their party" Other extracts might be
given, let these suffice for a sample.
The republicans in North Texas are live,
wide-awake, aggressive and will be
heard from at the polls in a way to make
old democracy stare In wonder. Bexar
county wants to fall in line with the pro-
cession that Is marching on to final re-
publican victory. each campaign pitch
ing its moving tent days march near
er home and gathering recruits as 1t
marches. There is victory for republi-
oanism in Bexar county, II every repub-
lican will do his duty and every man
who approves our platform OF princi-
pies will rally round the flag Of that
larger and broader humanity, represent
cd by republican principles and made
potent in republican legislation.

The Express, referring to published
report of the Wisconsin reform school,
contrasts the intelligent treatment Of
juvenile criminals in Wisconsin with the
brutaliZlng and crime-hardening process
pursued with juvenile offenders in Texas.
1t is ever thus. Wisconsin shows the
enlightening Influences of republican
ideas and legislation; Texas, Of demo-
cratic mossbackism and repression.
These things, however, will change as
Texas grows more republican and less
democratic. The republican state plat
form, adopted at Waco. demanded at the
hands of our state Legislature the estsb-
lishment OF just such a retormatory for
youthful criminals as Wisconsin pos
sesses. If we had republican
Legislature we would soon have the re-
fOrmatory.

SED0wIcK has given his fiat footed
"you're another" to the statements
made by American residents concerning
his show come you so" condition after
the Jockey club reception. The afIida-
Wits OF the Jockey club are on file. the
sworn statement OF the landlord who
saw him go to his room is in evidence,
the testimony Of the other fellow who
saw him get up In the morning is all
bunky-now let us have the kiss-the-

TIE declaration of the democratic
club of san Antonio, that, any man
who allows his name to be used as a can
ddate for office cannot be allowed to
remain member, is a move most heart
lily to be commended. A republican
club in this city, founded on the same
principle, would be a desideratum. Ii
would give us firm political party Or
ganization which would be free from the
intrusions and Vaccinations OF place
hunters The present system of nomi-
nations for Office are perniCiOus. a man
fired by personal desire for his own
profit coolly, only proposes himself to
himself as candidate for office accepts
this nomination of himself by himself
and forthwith proceeds to saddle him
self upon the party to which he belongs
as their candidate. II any objection is
made, a row is raised by the would-be-
candidate and his personal followers,
and parties are divided upon the ,candi-
daoy of man for whom they have eX-
pressed no choice. and for whom they
never would have expressed a choice If
left to their own free action as par
ty. Let this thing stop at once. The pO-
litioal club that admits no Office holder
or seeker to membership and expels him
when he becomes such, is good thing.

THERE appears to be very general
political awakening all over northern
Texas. The great influx of population
to that region and the opening of so
many great railway lines, the preaching
Of the gospel OF human rights, as defin-
ed by the republican fathers, and the
coming In Of new minds untram-
melted by the mossback traditions of
ante-bellum democracy, have opened
the hearts and Understandings of the
people, and the day OF new political
era, that may prove real political re-
generation, appears to have dawned So

I purchased In this city package of Prof.
Horsrord's SeIr-RaisinE Rrcnd Preparation
and submitted II to chemical examination,
and fnd that the same Is composed Of pure
and nOn-pOsonOus chemicals.
The idea OF Prof Horsrord was indeed n
grand one in supplHnting the tndigcstihlc 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 nutritive value of
bread, and the bonc-producing clements 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 hcr children at heart should use no other.
can only join in the endorsement given by
the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron V.
Licbig, to this preparation in saying: 81 con-
slider this invention as one of tho most useful
gifts which science has made to mankind"
For Sale by all GroCers. Try 1t.
