THE Brenham Daily Banner touches
up the state democratic convention in
the following neat paragraph.
'The st. Louis Republic charges
that the Texas court of appeals is the
friend of murderers and that it has
done much to encourage lynch law in
this state. Among the things done at
the Dallas convention was the re-
nomination of the judges of the court
of appeals and the passage of resolu-
ton warmly endorsing the Republic
as a sound democratic paper worthy
the patronage of the people of Texas"
The harmony of things democratic
is never disturbed by Texas conven-
ton when it goes in for tafty. 1t even
blesses the hand that smites.

SAM DOES NOT WANT CUBA.

The Galveston Evening tribune,
referring to the impoverished condi-
ton of Spain and the willingness OF
Cuba to become annexed to the
United States, and assuming that the
SlOO, 900 900 once offered and rejected
would now purchase the island says:
"Cuba is cursed with medieval ideas
and semi-civilized rule and would
offer no serious impeachment to annex
alton. The opposition would be on
our side. 1t would be based upon
considerations both social and politi-
cal. The greatest real danger would
be in the accession of population
that it would probably take century
TO harmonize with modern thought
and American institutions. If the
purchase ever takes place it should be
coulped with iron-clad conditions
deeply roofing our system of pubic
schools il the acquired territory"
While making no dissent from this
view the LIGHT maintains that 1t Is
not to the interest of the United
States to acquire Cuba even If she
were offered to us without money and
without price. This country has
large contract to civilize her own peo-
ple and educate them. These shores
are flooded from year to year with
hundreds of thousands of immigrants
who do not understan the first prln-
ciples of America government. Aliens
to republican forms Ct g 'vernment,
strangers to us in speech, spirit, in
stincts and associations it is work
of no small moment to incorporate
these elements into the body politics
so as not to vitiate, corrupt and de-
nationalize, politically. Not only so,
there are thousands and tens of thou
sands of our own people in nearly
every state of this union who can not
read the laws, who are the prey OF
demagogues and the tools of political
intrigue. These men are in our fac
tories and upon our farms, in our rail-
road shops and in all our manufacto-
ries aud they must be taught the laws
that they may respect and
obey them. They must under
stand their own rights and the
Fights of others so as to do the one
no wrong while endeavoring to main
tain the other. The children of these
men are to be taught. Compulsory
education has become a necessity.
The range that education must take
must be enlarged. At present the or
binary artisan has only knowledge
enough to make him dangerous. Laws
must be reformed as well as persons.
Where laws bear unequally upon any
class they must be modified and re-
pealed. There is work cut out for
this generation in preparing the peO-
pie already upon these shores for
proper seIf-government and this cOun-
try would be the gamer if no addi-
ti0nal immigration was permitted at
least for quarter of a century to
come. We certainly have no occasion
to add unnecessarily to our burdens
by assuming the guardianship and
education of such a people as is found
today in Cuba. If Cuba was offered
for sale and was likely to fall into the
hands of some foreign power that the
United States would deem inimical at
so close range, then as a matter of
public security it might become neces-
sary to take Cuba in. But under eX-
listing circumstances to move for an
neXatiOn would be sheer folly and the
result only trouble and veXatiOn of
spirit.

The lines have not fallen to the in
cubus of the white house in pleasant
places, altogether. Private advices
from reliable sources in New York are
conclusive as to the following:
The growth Of protection senti-
ment is so apparent as to lead Mr..
Frank Hurd to assert that all hope of
securing the electoral vote of the state
is gone, and has made itselfapparentt to
other leaders, and there are a great
many equally prominent democrats
who have consulted Mr.. Cleveland
and have assured him that Michigan,
Minnesota, California and a few other
states must be captured from republic
cans as offset TO the loss of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, which
are practically lost already"
This is better news than the repub-
licans at the west had expected. The
chances in New Jersey haze been
considered more favorable to the
democracy than to the republican
party, owing to the very persistent eff
forts Of the prOhibitiOnists in that
state. OF late, however, there has
been very strong protest from some
of the leaders of the prohibition party
against this attempted slaughter of
the republican party by Fiske and his
followers. There are signs of reaction
and it may be that the tide will set in
favor of disruption of the third party
following; before the decisive day of
the campaign dawns. The democracy
are welcome to all they will get out of
Michigan and Minnesota this innings.

THE Waco Day is dead open and
shut democratic journal, and the
LIGHT is an undisguised republican
sheet from date lines to fms. All the
same the LIGHT accepts the follow
ing from the Day as good political
gospel:
''The congressional investigation
now going on in New York city shows
that what this country needs is a
"protective tariff against the impOr-
tation of cheap foreign labor, such as
has flooded our large cities within the
past few years. 1t is a matter of vital
interest to people who are already
here, whatever may be the country Of
their birth, aud proper legislation on
the subject cannot justly be charged
to race prejudices. It of vital inter
est not to make the United States the
dumping ground of any class of Peo-
pie who will lower the standard of
wages or destroy legitimate business"

WELSH PRIZE SINGERS.

The concert by the double quartette
organiZatio ion entitled the Welsh Prize
singers, under the patronage of the
Women's Christian Temperance union,
called out an audience that very nearly
filled Central Music hall last evening The
sons and daughters of the Cymri-and
there are many more of them in Chicago
than is generally known-gathered to hear
the songs of their motherland by singers
familiar with her purple hills, to listen to
the tuneful melodies of her famous harp,
and within the realm of music at least
spend night in Wales. Nor was the
assembly limited to the sons and daugh-
ters of Cambrian blood, for some hundreds
of music-loying Americans, to whom the
significance of St. David's day is mythical,
but to whom the fame of the Welsh bard,
minstrel and harDist is quite familiar,
joined with them in approaching really
delightful concert. The program was
constituted almost entirely of Welsh and
English glees, part songs ballads and harp
solos. The members OF the ''Welsh Prize
Singers" organization are the Misses
Davies, Purvis, Hope and Davis, and
Messrs Bedloe. Evans, Daniel and Will
Jams. Some solos by Miss Maggie Purvis
soprano, and Miss Annie Hope, contralto,
and some duets by Messrs. Bedloe, tenor.
and Williams, baritone, were emphatically
applauded and redemanded, as were the
finished harp recitals Of Mr.. Walter T.
Barker. The concert afforded the rare
combination of decided novelty with the
intrinsic merit Of being musically good

FIGHT FOR A CHILD.

Last evening quite an exciting incident
occurred at the Rock Island depot on East
Douglas avenue. A woman hurrying
into car with child. &C
companied by a detective, appeared
the central figure around which clustered
the attention of quite body of spectators
and a little squad of officers assembled
upon the platform. At last the train
moved of and the woman with the child
in company with the detective left the
city.
That the woman was trying to make
away with the child and to get il
from the custody of some one was
quite evident. Of the particulars OF the
affair there appears to be two stories
afoat one that of the woman who claims
TO be the child's mother aud the other that
of a man, Mr.. Small, who claims to be its
foster father.

WHO Is AE2

KANSAS CITY, April IA man about IS
years of age walked out on the James
street bridge across the Kansas River this
afternoon and casting aside small linen
bag leaped into the river beneath. He was
rescued by boatman and soon revived.
The linen bag, when examined, was found
to contain s7,42S in bills, about half of
which was Austrian and German currency
The man was taken to police headquarters
in Kansas City, Kan, where he gave the
name of William Miller and afterwards
the name of Marks Morganstein. The only
reason he gave for the act was despond-
ency on account of being sufferer from
an incurable disorder of the stomach. He
claimed to be an Austrian and said he had
been in this only country only month.
He had ticket from Kansas City to New
York. The police think he is defaulter
or political criminal and are OBTAINING
him in the hope of getting further infor-
nation about him.

The aaehia Daily gaoe Sunday alornine April 8, 1888.

Davidson told Officer Tom Riggs last
evening while at the depot that the child
was hers and that nine months ago it was
taken from her out in Ford county by a
man, her divorced husband and taken to
New York. She has ever since been en-
deavoring to get possession OF her
little one but all in vain until
tonight when the child got a
glimpse of her on North Main street
and ran crying with delight into her arms.
She says. too, that the child was retained
by the man in order to bring her to terms
and thus force her to marry him. This
she utterly refuses to do.
The other side of the story squite differ
ent. The man in question, Mr.. Small,
claims that he adopted the child in New
York state nine months ago, and has
with him the necessary paper to
prove the truth of his statement. The
child a girl took his name and is now
known by that of Irene Small He says
he knew an effort was being made to take
his little girl from him and when he came
west brought the little one with him. A
few days ago he had occasion to go to An
thony on business and left the child in
charge of Mrs. Eaton on North Main. She
was told by him not to let the child
go out of the room and she had
carefully needed the advice until last night
when it was thought safe to let it go out
in front for an airing. Scarcely was the
child down upon the pavement than it was
seized crying and screaming and carried
away to be given to its mother. He main
tains that he will have his adopted child
and has employed Comfy & Ward to take
charge of the case and has secured the SER
vices of one of the best detectives in the
state to look after his interest.
A warrant was last night sworn out at
Justice Walkers for the arrest of the man
who took the child upon the charge of alb
duction. Some interesting developments
are yet promised before the custody of the
child is settled.
