the state of her democracy is greater.

TnE prohibition vote of the country
in 1886 was little more than double the
prohibition vote OF 1894. In Texas alone
the party polled not less than 25,OOO
votes notwithstanding all the disadvan-
tages of the situation. The democracy
of this state may find the prohibitionists
on their flank In 1888, as the republicans
of Iowa and Minnesota found them on
theirs In 1884. The battle between the
vets and the drys is bound to come in
Texas as elsewhere.

WHEN the DenisOn News says that
"Nr. POwderly is in favor Of protecting
every rich manufacturing monopoly in
the country from competition with for
eign producers, but is not willing TO
protect the American labOrer from being
brought into competition with the for
eign labor that is being constantly I'm
ported into this country" does not the
DenisOn News affirm what it cannot
produce the papers to prove? Can the
News show wherein Mr.. POwderly has
opposed the limitation and restriction OF
foreign emigration, as advocated by the
labor organization at whose head he
stands? Mr.. Powderly is n labor protec-
zionist notwithstanding his democracy.
We know this is difficult OF belief by a
Texas democrat, but it is nevertheless
true.

HORRIBLE PORTRAITS.

A careful examination Of che San
Francisco papers, particularly the
Chronicle and Post, that undertake to
give descriptions of the G. A. r. En-
campment, outlines of the great bat
ties OF the late war, and portraits Of
different army officers and G. A. r.
men, produces not only laugh, but
contempt. One "staff officer" makes
the Fair Oaks fight occur June Both.
1t took place May 31st and June LIST,
1862. Other similarly untrue state
mcnts are palmed off as historical
facts.
The Arabian Knights Entertain
mcnts, according to these journals,
were nothing compared to the splen-
dor of the reception, anil yet the peo-
pie could not get enough to eat. In
the matter of portraits, it is safe to
say that among the hundred or more
given, not FIVE acquaintance of the
men intended to be represented would
recognize the pictures except by the
printed names. Even Lincoln and
Grant are barely recognizable, while
Sherman appears to be suffering from
cramp collie and Sheridan is blotched
over with small pox and has not a
semblance of the features of Little
Phil" If these officers are the least
vain of appearance, they had better
getup fund and buy all these papers
for a conAagration.

of an interest in the Mineral King mine,
adjoining the French Boys, on the Bull
lion divide, on the ground that he owned
an interest therein, request to be permit
ted to state, through your columns, that
he owns no interest whatever in the Min.

refusing to pay his proportion of the
assessment work for the year 1884. That
he admitted owing that assessment the

that while he will not pay one cent he will
