DEEP WATER CONVENTION.

Another reason for preferring Denver to
Fort Worth is the fact that the former is out
sice of and the latter inside of Texas. The
question Of the most eligible site for deep
water harbor on the coast Of Texas is in that
STATE an irritating issue. The Texans differ in
opinion as 10 which place possesses tho great
est advantages, and II the convention were
held anywhere within Texas there would be
CREST danger that this difference of opinion
would defeat the very object Of the meeting
Denver Republican.
The tone Of the Denver News and Of
tie Denver Republican, in editorials re-
produced in THE GAZETTE Of yesterday,
was so manifestls courteous and fair,
that they were submitted to the people OF
Texas by this paper without comment.
The above paragraph, however,
from the Republicans article on the
subject of q deep water convention, will
not appeal to the people Of Texas as
strongly as do some other points made
oy the Denver papers.

A MYSTERIOUS EDITORIAL.

Nothing more mysterious has appeared
in an American newspaper during the
present year than an editorial recently
published by the Washington Post. The
Pos. sayg:
When Napoleon concluded to become En-
peror of the French he crowned himss If. It
Was an interesting scene. The cathedral of
Notre Dame VS. thrr nged with the greatest
men and wsmen in the world. There were
kings and queens, princes, generals, Statesmen
and scholars galore, all assembled to srace the
triumph Of the cong 7eIor. First in place stood
the Pope Of Rome. He had come to crown the
Emperor.
Napoleon took the imperial crown and crowned
himself. Pope Plus wac but spectator.
A similar scene will occur in the city Of st.
Louis on the 9Th day Of June, in this year OF
grace lsss MIR. Grover Cleveland has sum
moned a national Democratic convention
to renomirate him for tie Presidency
of the United States and $40 delegates
will assemble to DO his bidding. But they Will
really have nothing to do. When the time
comes to vote It VIII be apparent to the veriest
tyro among them that President Cleveland has
already renominated himself. He is man of
destiny, and he will do as men Of destiny do.
The Democratic nomination Is his by right of
conquest, and he win not condescena to receive
1t from any hands but his own.
Well let it BIZ go. This is a self made coun-
try, and 1t is natural that 1t should fell down
before self made man. But was there ever
go thoroughly self made a man as Grover
Cleveland l.? We think not.
The Post has heretofore been most
ardent and consistent friend Of the az
ministraticn. Indeed, II Mr.. Cleveland
had an organ, it was the Post. Therefore
this utterance is regarded as very pecu
liar, and everyone seems at loss to &C
count for it. Can 1t be that while the
Office cat Was out or mapping some mis-
chievous mouse playfully hung the article
upon the editorial copy hook?

order for Mr.. Go Committeeman Collins to
ssy by what right he used the money Of
the people of the whole state TO pay for

Denison in larger letters than those used
for any other town, and why he gsve

THE Columbus, Ga, Sun calls Randall
"s bloody-shirter." This is the sheerest
nonsense. Mr.. Randall differs with q
large majority Of his party on question
Of purely economic policy, but he has in
the past proven himself too devoted .
friend of justice for any citizen Of the
south to be justified in attempting to con-
meet him with that horde Of vampires and
scslawags who have sought to keep one sec.s
ton OF the country under the heel Of OPP
preston by appealing to the prejudices Of
the other.

JEFFERSON. TEX, May Is, 1888.
ditor of the Gazette:

JEFFERSON. TEX, May 25, 1883.
To the Editor Of the Gazette:
The Mechanics Fire Company of this
place are somewhat indignant over the
fact that the colored band which they
took to Marshall with them Wednesday
were ordered to drop out Of the process.
sion after having marched some distance
with them, ana also about the references
the "Morning Star" (Marshsu) made to
their company and the colored band In
the following days edition. At call
meeting this afternoon the following res
olutions were adopted:
Resolved, l. That we, the members OF
the Mechanics Fire Company No. 1, here
BY appreciate the courtisies extended us
by the iremsn and citiz ans Of Marshall
on Wednesday lsst, aud believe that the
gallant and generous d:emen of Marshall
could not be guilty OF the indignity to
the il ffsrson fremen and citizens ACCOM-
panying them as is shown in the "Morn-
ing Star"
2. That we employed the bsnd for our
Own company, and believe thai the party
or parties formulating the article in the
informing STAR" was actusted by spirit
OF JEALOUSY or from false pride, and can
uos 1SSl Jul tuaG inc 6UOVc Is SldIu Ill
rect at oar fire company and the worthy
citizens accompanying Us by irresponsi-
ole parties, and not by the Are depart
ment Of Marshall or her citizens.
8 That it has always been the custom
OF fisemen and others to obtain the
services Of colored IS well es ether bands,
snd at the New Orleans exposition and
more recently at Austin the Mexican
band was mJre prominent than perhaps
any other. At the celebration at Jeffer-
son by her fl :emen 8 few Years ago
Marshall and other fire departments
thought 1t no discourtesy to march be-
hind this seme colored bsnd which mas az
fine silver instruments and Is IS well
qualified, equipped and trained as many
bands in much larger cities.
4. That the du5bing Of us as q "Juven-
lie Com pany" In the same issue of the
Star is unworthy Of notice as our com
pany was chartered in 1870 and is the
second Oldest company in ire state with
the majority CT her members over thirty
five years Of age. We regard the Star
editor as not only Juvenile, but small
potatoes and few in hill.

THE most notable performance ever
given upon any stage WAS the presenta-
ton Of Hamlet at the Metropolitan opera
house In New York last Monday evening.
The occasion was complimentary bene-
al to Lester Wallack, the veteran actor
and manager, and the cast included Booth,
Barrett, Jefferson, Florence, Gilbert,
Wheelock, Mayo, Levick, Modieska, Rose
Coghlsn, Gertrude Kellogg and other dis
tirguished stars. Among the auxilisries
were R,sina Vokee, KITE Forsythe, Adah
Dyas and 5 hundred others Of the first
class. Booth was at his best and the
whole performance was superb.

Texas is an s1rritstlng's one to the peo-
pie Of this state is most cogent
rason for the settlement OF it
by this people. Texas under
stands better than Colorado does why
the question has been made sirritating."
Teras convention was called because
there is difference Of opinion, 1t being
deemed eminently appropriate that Texas
should settle its OWN differences. No re-
suit attained through outside in
huence would allsy the
bitterness or settle these
dlffererces-ior reasons that should be
obvious. But result reached bylTexsns
themselves would insure acquiecsence,
and when Texans had settled its differ-
ences, then it would be appropriate for
ohersto ssy: 'Now that you are sgreed,
We viii help yen" The people
Of Texas are widely divided on this sub
iect; but they also realize the need Of
deep water at some point on the coast,
and, outside of few selfish influences,
are in mood to hsrmonize their differ
ences. It must 60 without saying that q
people who settle their own differ
ences will yield more cheerful
and healthy acquiescence .hsn. they would
to the dictum of others.
TIE GAZETTE offers the above as sug-
gestion. This paper wants deep water
on the Texas coast, regardless Of the To-
cslity, more than it wsn.s any convention
held in Fort Worth; and it is because OF
this desire that the above suggestion is
made.
