THERE appears to be very general
demand all along the line for GeronimO.s
scalp. The average human fails to see
why so much tenderness should be dealt
out to a numbering hostile on account Of
the color Of his skin. \ black skin meets
with little mercy when the tolls OF law
and justice close around the victim. 1t is
Il quick shrift and a short rope. Had Ge-
rOnimO been black or a mulattU he
would have hung before he had been in
custody twelve hours. Even pure I'M
adulterated white would be langushing
in prison without any friends TO comfort
him. But because of red skin the
treaCherOus murderous Apacbes must
be treated as conquered princes, receiv-
ed by the heads of military departments
with distinguished consideration while
the hundreds of CORY scalp lock, that
they have taken plead in vain for jus
ticc. This sentimentaIism over red
skin will have to die out before our from
tiers can expect to be free from Indian
Outrages.

GERMANY dares not assume beliger-
ent position toward Russia. France is
lowering on the wing OF Germany anx-
iOus to retrieve the disasters Of the
Franoo-Russian war, and any OpportL-
nifty given her by Germany's becoming
involved with Russia would be seized
upon as the moment for reprisal. If
Austria, Italy, Turkey and the Balkan
provinces unite to resist Russia's south
ern movement, Germany and France
will probably remain neutral. Should
this be impossible and Germany become
involved then there is no doubt that
France would declare for war and use
her forces where she would cripple Ger
many most.

Now THAT Russia is in a fair way to
compass her century long wish, the
securing of hold on the Mediterranean,
we will be likely to hear less about her
movements in the direction OF Indian Oc-
cupation. 1t is Ea tern Europe not
Eastern Asia that the Gar Of all the
Russias desires so ardently, and toward
which all his efforts have been center
ing since the Crimean war checked his
direct advance toward the capital Of the
Ottoman empire.

Ir Austria changes her war policy and
sides with Bulgaria instead ofrcmaining
neutral with Germany, it may very
properly be attributed 20 Hungarian in
lluenoes. The Old Magyars were ever
the defenders OF the liberties Of the peO-

come historic. In yielding to the inilu-
ence OF Hungary, Austria has greatly
strengthened her hold upon these pro-

IN VIEW of the sworn statements made
by county officers in the drOuth-stricken
counties of this state; also, of the pro-
clamatiOn by his excellency, the gov
ernor OF this state, calling upon the citi-
zens for relief; also, of the correspond
ence from reliable press reporters who
have visited that section; also, the state
ment of scores OF refugees who have
fled from that country for the preserva-
ton Of themselves and families-it
seems strange that leading journals in
this state will persist in representing
that this relief call is unauthorized, I'M
necessary and not warranted by the
facts. The Fort Worth Gazette has
been very prominent in attemp ting to
throw discredIt upon the appeals for aid
that come from Coleman, Willbarger,
Eastland and other counties. II there
were any reasonable doubts of the des-
titutiOn aid suffering prevailing in
Western Texas it would be well to set
forth the facts and restrain a few law,
designing men from preylng upon the
public. But the very reverse of this is
true. The half has not been told, and
the suffering yet to be endured, unless
relief is promptly afforded, is something
too fearful to contemplate. Relief or
CARNATIONS are formed in every Alliance
in Texas for the aid Of their furnishing
brethren, and this distress cry should not
pass UNDECIDED. Our own citizens, in
our own state, Of which we boast so
much, are suffering for food and seed for
future crops, and their wants should be
supplied. As yet San Antonio has done
nothing to relief that distress.

The difference between home supply
and foreign supply, and the capacity
for each, in its effect upon prices Ofsuch
product, is matter which the political
economists should not lose sight of in
discussing the tariff question.

On Wednesday next the anti-mOnOpo-
ly convention ofthls state will meet in
Fort Worth. This will make the fourth
convention to meet in Texas this fall to
nominate state officers. When their work
is done the nominating returns will all
be in and voters and slate makers and
ballot traders will be ready for business.
With such variety to choose from the
Texas voter should have no difficulty in
putting in his vote to suit himself One
thing only is sure, the democracy Of the
state are very muchly mixed this inning.

TIE POLITICAL waters in Texas are
manifestly troubled. Boiling and lnde-
pendent nominations are the order of the
day. With four political parties in the
field, there will be more Independent
candidates setting up political house
keeping for themselves than were ever
before known in the land. 1t is found
that fusion tickets do not always fuse.
After fusion comes the independent, and
the entire disOrganlZatiOn OF party is the
result. 1t ia hardly an open question
which i the greater evil; that Of party,
organized and conducted with some
show Of regard for the wishes of the ma
jority; or that of independently. disOr-
ganiZed and disOrganZing, having for its
sole object Office without regard to any
established political principle. The
great evil Of all independently and fusion
lies in the responsibility Of the candi-
dates. In strict party organizations can
didates are held to party consistency
and to a unity of action in accordance
with party declarations and pledges;
failing to do this they are denied farther
recognition by their party and either
die politically or turn fusionists. Fusion
list or independent candidates, on the
contrary, are amenable to no party have
no political principles save those of Of
flee to which they can be held allegiant,
and are the real lshmailites OF party.
70 those who believe political parties
should be destroyed a fusion ticket will
be always acceptable and its dislntegrs-
ting forces regarded as OF the greatest
utility. TO those who believe in organ
lied political parties, and the conduct of
political affairs through the ministry of
party, the fusiOnist and the Independent
can not be accepted as other than de-
structive. Let every man be fully per-
suaded in his own mind.

THAT campaign book of the democratic
party comes out seasonably. 1t is in
print in sufficient time to show its utter
senselessness and counterfeit all its pos
sible consequences before the campaign
of 1888. Not that democratic brain may
not evolve from the depth of its gigantic
stupidity companion volume for that
struggle, but because all such second
hand attempts, like second hand clothes,
do not take well with the wearers. As
a farce, John Kenna's book is stupid;
as an attempted portrayal of facts it is
too self-contradictory to be accepted
even by its friends as authority tor any
thing. 1t may have PANIED out some
money for John Kenna; it wont pan out
any votes for the democratic party.

John Bull lost no time in uttering his

think that 1t was the lull before the

The propheoied slaughter of Senator
Edmunds in the late election, in which
he was to be buried beyond the posi-
bility Of political resurrection, did not
materialize. The election is over. The
republicans have carried the state by
about the usual majority, and the legis-
lsture Is known to be so overwhelmingly
In favor Of Mr.. Edmund's reelection to
the senate that it is exceedingly doubtful
If he has any opposition at all. Men Of
Senator Edmund's calibre are not picked
up every day, and the Vermont voters
know it. Those sturdy New Englanders
have habit Of selecting a good piece Of
senatorial timber, allowing it to season
and then using 1t until it is literally
worn out. No man can impeach Sen
ator Edmunds' record in any particular,
and his ability no one questions. His
tate In honoring him honors herself.

Hat. footed denial to the industriOusly
circulated report that General Sui Ross
is the choice of the great body of these

says: "SuCh reports are false. Men who
were known to belong to the above
named orders were openly insulted and
refused seats in the convention to which
they had been fairly elected by the peO-
pie" The nominees of the Galveston
convention will find cold comfort next
November from the votes of the ALI

beers of these orders are respectfully re-
ferred to the editorial opinion of the
Siftings as above quoted.

UNCLE SAM is growing poor under
democratic mismanagement. The secre-
tary Of wal, having supplied few score
tents to the homeless victims of the
Charleston earthquake. reports the sup
ply exhausted and no more tents forth
coming. 1t was not ever thus. Under a
republican administration we have had
war secretaries who would have given
orders to supply all the tents necessary to
shelter every uncovered head in the city,
and they would have been supplied in hot
haste, too, or the subOrdinates in the de-
partment would have heard something
drop. The period of national imbecility
seems to be upon us.

have upon her royal sympathles has not

sympathy in the abstract form of teIe-

it does not crystalize into any percept-

hallooed for help until he got hoarse
Then q man came along. got another boat

The next day Hunter went out in his

derful recovery of young man who had
been so LII with asthma and rheumatism
that he was not able tc lie down in bed for

say that this. like nearly all others, was the
result Of indigestion, and that the Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegers Syrup effected
this wonderful cure by restoring the digest
