you will disrupt the Democratic par

AS no CRAYE,S

The word "crank" has been drafted
of late years, into such general use that
1t will, no doubt, have place in the next
revisions OF the dictionaries. Most peo-
pie have supposed 1t to be OF very recent
origin, as it was not heard, generally, at
least, until Guiteau had made himself
famous; but Prof Alex. Macfarlane of the
University Of Texas, tells the Austin
Statesman, In recent letter (anent Wig
gins and earthquakes), to that paper that
it is a good old Anglo-Saxon word,
"originally applied TO one who was in-
curably unsound in some part Of the
body, but more recently applied to one
who is iAcurably unsound in some part of
his intellect" This appears to be quite
graphic definition, and Prof. Macfarlane
cites as eminent authority as President
Morse of the American Social Science as
ISOLATION, for the statement that the
term Is an ancient one. Prof. Macfar-
lane, 1t may be remarked, classes Wig
gins as crank, which is consollng. 1t
would be decidedly unpleasant, just now,
to accept Virgins as veritable scientist,
entitled to credence and respectful con-
tidence. 1t is some consolation, too, to
know that the crank has existed and wer-
ried people in the past--that he is not
product OF this generation. And the
people who are called cranks may take
consolation in the assurance that they are
not the first who nave been so character
lied. The fact will no doubt give DR..
Cranfll renewed ardor in his work of pull
verifying the rum power. Cranfill says
that the emissarles OF the rum power
call MIN crank, and sometimes we think
he rather glories in IL. George Francis
Train and DR.. Mary Walker have also
been called cranks. In fact, applying
Prof. Morse's definition as a test, and the
country Is full OF cranks at this time. We
lind them In every department of politi-
cal, scientific, literary, religious and 80.
cial life. The crank is evidently here to
stay. In fact he has never been
away, but has been with us
all the time. Sometimes he is
dangerous, but not often. We are learn.
ing him and his methods, and will soou
learn TO control and even utilize him, as
we do the other dangerous forces OF
nature. In the economy of nature, we
are told, nothing is lost. The crank must
therefore have his uses, and 1t NAV
not be wise or just to contemn him, but
rather bear with and make the most OF
whether he be Virgins, prophecy
ing destruction, dire and widespread; or
DR., Aveling, preaching socialism in Ger
msni or tn ecross-roads politician, clamor-
ing for rutabagaism in politlcs-all win
In some way, let us hope, develop their
utility in this world of ours. 1t is espe-
cially consoling, we repeat, to believe that
Virgins is a crank Of the FIRST water.

DEAR sfE-Your favor i7th Inst, relating e
condition OF affairs In Jack county, was handed
me by scssrs sporer and Easton. com ittec
from that county.
at once took hold Of the matter, called upon
the president OF our Exchange, and on ascer
tanning that the Texas Relief committee" had
a balance IN their hands OF $40, prevail ed
upon them 10 apply $500 OF II 10 Jack county,
promising that would either raise the balance
necessary for q car load, or would contribute IL
myself, and directed that car be shipped al
once, which was done, and consigned, IS direct
ed by Messrs. sporer and Eastou, the trans
portation being furnished gratultously by the
railroad company.
Iexpooied the committee would call upon me
again. so that could report TO them my action,
but upon inquiry, learned they left town that
same evening they called. I therefore address
you in the promises, and thal feel obliged II
you viii explain TO them what did, and for
them to look out for, and take charge CT the car

found that our merchants had already con
tributed several Thousand dollars 10 different
localities, through the relief committee APP.
pointed by our Exchange, and l feel that was
fortunate in getting the 500 from them. as that
absorbs that fund, and In conversation with the
president of the Exchange, and the committee,
am satisfied they have made very thorough
canvass among our merchants to raise the
amount they did for Texas, which aggregated
upwards OF 5000, and the large sums they
were required to raise besides for the
Charleston sufferers, and Other calls Of
a ike kind that they have been called upon for,
and they stated frankly they did not think It
would be possible for them to raise the amount
necessary for this car, and the 5000 on hand
was the utmost they could do.
found myself, however, obliged to go out
side, fer the same day we received an urgent
appeal from Palo Pinto county, which took
care OF, and sent them car load So but be-
lieve that It is all that can be done.
Trusting the car will arrive safely and do
much good Yours very truly,

THE goth will dawn tomorrow, but We
imagine there are very few people now
whose minds are at all exercised over the
direful prophecies Of Virgins. The
press and scientific men were prompt 10
expose the charlatanry Of his pretensions
and finally Virgins himself began to
hedge. That settled II, and even the
nervous people began to laugh at their
nervousness. The Georgia negroes will
no doubt observe tomorrow, IN fear and
trlbulation, gathered in their churches
and singing and praying, but the great
mass OF people along the Atlantic coast
will be sensible enough to pursue their
ordinary avocations undisturbed by Wig
gins prophecies. We suppose Virgins
desired fame, and he has got 1t. His
predictions will have place In the same
niche with Mother Symptoms famous
prophecy, which predicted the end Of the
world in 1881.
