MEXICAN OUTRAGES.

Hon. John Ireland has written
a buncome letter to Secretary of
State Bayard, in which he con-
eludes by saying: "If this State
and her people must depend upon
themselves for protection, the
necessary redress can and will be
obtained" That is to say, Texas
is ready and willing to whip Mox-
leo, If the United States is not. If
Governor Ireland will content his
soul in peace, the government Of
the United States will attend to
MexIco's case, and if the necessity
arises for declaring war against
that country, the government will
most certainly do so. The author
itics at Washington are sufficiently
distant from Mexico not TO get OK.
cIted and act hastily. The honor
and integrity of the United States
will be maintained at all hazards.
Just now, the weather is too hot
for people to become unnecessarily
excited. Ono thing seems to be
entirely overlooked concerning
the alleged Mexican outragos, and
that is, we only get the American
side OF the story as related, not by
impartial spectators, but the par
ties aggrievod; the Mexican side
of the story is not heard. 1t is
well TO bear in mind that there is
always two sides to every story.
Mexico is undoubtedly jealous OF
the United States and the author-
lties of her petty states are
doubtlss frequently ovcrbcaring
toward Americans, some of whom
lose sight of the fact that Mexican
ways, manners, habits and usagcs
are entirely different from those
of our own country.

But the life of every man is as the

THE MACHINE.

The Houston Post of Friday
publishes 4 special from Austin,
giving an account OF an interview
with Col. Swain, who had just re-
turned from Houston. He was
looking we'll and hot Worried. He
said there would be no back-down
before the convention. 81 pro-
pose to fight it out, whatever the
odds. All ask of my friends is TO
stand by me. The instructed vote
furnishes no absolute opinion as to
the final result. have rs good Il
chance for the uninstructcd vote as
any of my competitors. l am sat
isfied that the whole power and in
fuence of the administration has
been thrown against me in almost
every county. Tho opposition has
resorted to every species of bar
gam, intrigue and SANDER to defeat
me. Every artifcc, to the
promising of Offices and other
methods, is being used to down
me and my friends. The cor
porations, the railways and the
cattle syndicates are all combining
against me. | have no doubt they
have been and are using money to
defeat nc, ".and much more of the
same sort of stuff. Inasmuch as
Ross is the chiefopponent ofSwaln,
it is evident he thinks the admin
Istration has combined against hiEl.
This may or may not be so, but it
is evident that Swain has wholly
failed 10 secure the enthusiastic
support that he anticipated. The
same may be SAID of Ross, and If he
has had the support of the admins
tration, as claimed by Swain, he,
too, has signally failed in getting
up anything like a boom. 1t Is
quito true that one mans chances
are as good as anothcr's for the IN
instructed vote, but the chances
also are that had either one of them
been tie favorito they would. have
been instructed for. The large un-
instructed vote may be safely
taken as an indication that tho
people preferred trusting to their
delegates to the State convention
to select for them the best and
ablest man who is presented as a
candidate for the nomination. The
time has como when Texas needs 4
strong and positive man for gov
ernor,-a man who will not be
afraid to act promptly in any
emergency that may ARISE, man
with a cool head and foresight. In
the event of war with Mexico, a
contingency that may arise, Texas,
being on the border ofthat country,
would have to stand the brunt of
battle, and only a first-class man
should be in the gubernatorial
chair. There is much stronger
undercurrent working IN favor OF
Col. d. c. GIddings than the
friends of either Ross or Swan are
willing to acknowledge at the
present time, and the machine has
nothing to do with it.

CLEAN NEWSPAPERS.

L ElnllTS NHCulhL.
There is q growing feeling in
healthy communities against Jour
nails, which make il their special
object to minister TO n perverted
taste by seeking out and serving
up in seductive form disgusting
and liccntious revelations. There
is good reason to believe that the
clean newspaper is more highly
priced to-day than 1t was four or
five years ago. 1t is also safe to
say that, as people in all ranks of
life, who protect their own, at
least, from contamination, become
more conscious of the pcrniclOus
influence of certain class of
journals. which are called enter
prisIng, because they are ambi-
tious to servo up dirty scandals,
they will be careful TO see that the
Journals they permit to be read in
the family circle are tho class that
never ferget the proprictios of life.
Already men and women Of refine
ment and healthy morals have had
their attention called to the per-
niciOus influence of bad literature,
and have made cOmmendablo
efforts to countcract the same, by
causing sound literature to be pub
lished and sold at popular prices.
These efforts are working Il silent
but sure revolution. The best au-
thors are moro generally read to-
day than at any previous day.
The siokly sentimental story paper
and the wild ranger and pirate
story books are slowly but surely
yielding the field to worthier
claimants. In praise of the de-
cent newspaper it may be said that
where it has place in the family,
and has been read for years by
young as well as old, it has dovel-
Oped such healthy tone and such
discriminating taste, that the life
nature of the slums has no admir-
ers. Fortunately, the number of
such families is increasing in the
land, and as they Increase, tho
journal that dcvotcs itself to sick
ening revelations of immortality,
will he compelled to find its sup
portcrs solely among those classes
who practice vIeo and crime, or
arc ambitious to learn TO follow
such ways.

The following good and sufficient
reasons for the country'S business
depression are gwen by the Chica-
70 Journal:
|. Good crops IN England and
Western Europe, with the growing
and cheap wheat supply from India,
have reduced the English demand
tor American grain. With no OK
port demand the price of wheat has
fallen to 4 point at which 1t cannot
be proiitably produced.
.. The absurd discrimination of
Germany and France against
American meat has had q similiar
effect on the price of provisions.
The cattle, hog and sheep indus
tries, and the production of grain
for tattcning beef, pork and mutton
have all suffered in consequence.
3. The low price OF American
staple agricultural products has par
alyzed the shipping industry, and
made railroad construction I'M
profitable. Many laboring men
and artisans have lost their occu-
pations us the result of this condi-
ton of affairs.
]. The low price of agricultural
products has greatly diminished
The capacity ofthe agricultural pop
ulation as purchasers of goods and
merchandise. Dull trade and dis
couragement in manufactures have
proceeded from this cause.
5. Strikes and lockouts have
weakened enterprise and acted as n
restraint and hindcrancc on all
plans Tor the investment of capital.
\ man who has determined to erect
a factory that would give employ
mcnt TO 500 or 1000 men, will
abandon his determination on
learning that as soon as he gets
under way his employees will strike
for shorter hours or higher wages.
6. All these causes have created
financial congestion at tho
monoyed centcrs and n scarcity of
money among the people IN the
country at large. Never before
was there as much money in the
country as there IS at the present
time. But it does not circulate.
The country is like n robust person,
full of blood which fails, however,
to move hcalthily in its accustomed
channels through all parts of its ar
tcrIaI system.

4 CHIYALRIc souTHERNER.

A slender W h t CIV h i S k C cd
bravo-cyed man sat near the fare
box in the upper end of an F. street

white Derby hat upon his head,
