The Republican Nominee.
Houston Post.

Houston Post.
So Benjamin Harrison, Of Indiana,
is the man, after all. Well, the Re-
publicans have nominated the best
man they had on hand. Whether be
shall be elected or not, the country 10
to be congratulated upon the happy
fact Of not being obliged to contem,
plate such men as Blaine, Sherman,
Ingalls, and others Of like ilk. II has
had enough of that sort Of men al
ready; In fact, it has long been sur.
feited with such, Ii will be good
news to the south that Bloody Shirt
Sherman has been laid on the shelf,
He can now fall back on his hun
dreds of thousands that he saved up
out of his salary as senator, He has
capital enough to 60 into the hen
ranch business with his neighbor,
Rutherford B. Hayes, whom be (ShsF,
man) helped to count in when Tlden
was elected. Blaine Is no more, and
in the language of Andy johnson
when he spoke of Forney, Ingalls Is a
dead duck, Benjamin Harrison, the
grandsop of old "Tippacanoe and Ty-
Ter too," is substantial, conservative
man, who will not advocate the wav-
ing Of the bloody shirt, This, here
after will be confined to one,horse pol
itiCians whose ideas are limited to
that garment. II will cut no figure
IN the coming campaign, neither will
anything in the Republican platform,
except protection, Mr., Harrison will
get good vote-a strong Vote-in
fact heavier vote than Blaine would
have received had he have been nom
mated, although Blaine would have
carried California and Harrison will
not. With Harrison as a candidate,
the Democrats have got to look to
their laurels, especially in Indiana
and New York, for his own State will
honor him and many that were mug
wumps in New York, when Blaine
was in the field, will return to their
old stalls With Harrison In the
field Cleveland and Thurman will
have a competitor worthy Of their
steel, and If the democrats expect to
win they must back up their expeCta-
tions with unreIntting energy. They
can win If they try, because they are
in the majority in these United States,
but in order to do it they must exhib-
it their entire strength.

The Raee Crop,

Times-D Democrat,
The rice planters are Unexpectedly
lucky this year. Early Ia the season
the river was phenomeaally low, and
it looked for quite time as though il
would continue low all the summer,
and thus put the rice planters to such
expense IN pumps and syphona 40 10
leave little if any profit to them in
their crops, particularly the smaller
farmer.
Then came the ''boomn ID the Mis-
souri and upper Mississippi, which
played havoc around Bismarck, Loa-
isiana, Mo, and other points above aud
which those who knew little about
the river predicted would be very dis-
astrous below Cairo. IL has been
nothing Of the kind, bat on tho con.
trarY, highly beneficial TO one Of the
important valley products, rice, The
boom above haa given what was sore,
ly needed, supply Of water. Il has
enabled the planters 10 get this with.
out pumping, and has thus materially
reduced the cost Of the rice crop,
The river 10 In a splendid condition

continue so throughout July and to
give an ample supply Of water a. the

thus assuring not only bounteous

Galveston News,
Methodist Nuns, says the New
York Sun, are to be a novelty Ia fem-
inine experience, They were created
by the Methodist general conference
after a careful consideration Of tho
subject by the committee on mis-
sions, The committee reported fa-
vorably, and the conference inserted
in the discipline Of tho church q Soc
ton regulating them, They are 10 be
called deaconesses, and they will be
very similar TO the nuns Of the Roman
Catholic church, except that they are
not to take the VOWS Of life service or
of celibacy, Every annual conference
in which these deaeonesses are estsb,
lished wall have q board Of nine mem
beEs to control this kind of work.
Nothing more definite than that was
done by the conference, but the inn
preston Is that the Methodist nuns
will wear distinctive costumes, and
live IN houses by themselves, They
will minister TO the poor and the sick,
care for orphans and do other work Of
charity. They will be required 10
serve probation Of continual service
for two years before being made dea.
Conesses, and thOY will have to DO At
least 25 years of age. II has long
been a desire of the Rev, DR.. Mix Of
Trinity to have such duties performed
by regular orders of women, and he
succeeded several years ago in forming
an organization of Episcopalian nuua,
but they have not been formally en-
dorsed by the denomination, and 80
the Methodists are the first protestant
church in America 10 attempt the re-
cruitiug and uRiformiug Of religious
sisters. The first Of these doRGoness-
es will be very likely 10 be seen in
Chicago, where there ia already an 10.
formal organization of a somewhat
similar character but il Is believed
that in all the large cities, within
year, there will be established pToba-
tionary classes.
