TTOV

The so-called laborlng mems conYen-
tloo at weatherford gave vent to more
foolshness than one might fairly suppose
could have been condensed In an equal
number Of men. The resolutions adopted
are either foolish and incapable OF being
put in practice,or they are borrowed from
tue principles Of the Democratic party,
which has always followed them. In the
former cssesit is absurd to propose
thing which cannot be accomplished. In
the latter, 1t is useless to propose things
thu. the Democratic party has promised
to do, or has already done.
The arrangement" Of the Democratic
party has look Of weakness about IL that
looks as II 1t was very much strained.
The Democratic party in Texas as now
managed no longer represents the Will OF
the minority, we are told, bat solely re-
fleets the sentiments OF the few and
wealthy. Furthermore, "our state gov
ernment has for the past fifteen years
been managed In the interests Of land
grabbers, railroad companies and
moneyed corporations, and the rights
and in erests OF the laboring classes are
ignored" This latter sentence betrays
the politics of the meeting that adopted
the resolution. The Republican cloven
hoof sticks out. The things com
planned OF have been done only In he last
fifteen yesrs--that is, since the Demo
cratic party took charge of state affairs,
Previous 20 that time the Republicans
were in control, and 1t is presumed they
did nothing wrong, as they are exempted
from the arrangement"
II these gentlemen, who are burdenine
their lives with the labor OF reform, were
asked to name single instance in which
the laws Of Texas were made to favor
the wealthy at the expense OF the poor
they would be dumb. There may be
found cases where law, designed to be
equitable and fair, has been tortured by
the courts TO partial constructions, but
| this is not the fault of the law-makine
power, for whenever unjust and un
iooked-for decisions were made based OF
any statute, that statute has been speed
lily repealed at the first opportunity, anC
the hardship eased.

An artist has Just leacned that his pic
ure has been refused. In the presence of
MS diminished work and Of his palette
loaded with pigments, desperate, heart
broken, he has lodged bali in his head.
He fell simply, without contortons as
one falls In death when untaught the
academical attitudes necessary to an ex
hibition OF quiverlng muscles. He is
stretched in his studio. A slight thread
OF blood and revolver on the carpet tell
the drama.
With the audacity OF youth Mr.. DE Bel

the spectator In an unusual foreshorten-

coed In painting a second time. The
scene Is treated soberly and In simple
tones. A young woman, the confldant of
the artists dream of success, has lust

on her knees, crushed under the weight
OF the horrible catastrophe. She does
not dare TO look at that livid head, and
covers her face with her hands, while her
breast is heaving with emotion.
