THE reports from over water concern.
ing Emperor Frederiok's health are too
conflicting to base any intelligent
opinion upon: as to the speedy fatal
termination OF the royal sufferers case.
His death has long been expected, but it
is sometimes the unexpected that hap
pens. The emperor is evidently suffer-
ing from blood poisoning and it is large
ly question of constitutional ability to
stand the drain upon his vital resources.
1t is generally conceded that he has no
cancer.

The Waco Examiner rises from Its en-
deavor to blot out the 'Day," which
shines SO unpleasantly in it's pessimistio
eyes long enough to remark:
every day or so some idiot finds coal
in eastern Texas. That is, some idiot
imagines he finds coal out there; for it
is only Ignite, not coal"
A fool for luck. says the old proverb.
Coal is found in abundance In other sec.
tions OF Texas and it is not yet demon:
strated that there are no GOAL beds in the
eastern counties of the state. Let the
fools dig. Luck may come.

SATURDAY, APRIL, Fl, 1888.
DRAWING THE LINES.

The stalwart democratic journals are
rot pleased to note the signs by which
certain journals in Texas show de-
oided leaning away from the present
tenets Of democracy. The LIGHT seems
to be their measuring reed, by which
they lay democracy to the line and bour-
bonism to the plummet. Anything that
falls into line with the LIGHTS declara-
tions is instantly set aside as anti-demo-
cratic and vice versa. To agree with the
LIGHT on questions Of public policy ia to
demonstrate at once that the journal so
agreeing is a stranger to democracy and
an alien in the house of Cleveland. Ur-
mindful OF the fact that the democratic
party has ever oamped upon the trail of
the republican column, always moving
up to the position abandoned by the re-
publican party in taking more advanced
ground, these censors of their demo-
cratic brethren continue to carp
and crticise at such journals
OF the democratic faith as, looking
q little ahead of the party's main column,
see the campaign ground of next year,
and pitch their tents there while the
camp fires of the advancing republican
host are still smouldering. 1t is this
spirit which breathes in the following
arraignment of the Waco Day, an inds-
pendent democratic journal of which
the party in Texas is not worthy:
"If the Waco Day didn't continually
repeat that it was democratic, nobody
would ever suspect that 1t was OF that
political persuasion. 1t wants the Blair
bill to pass; 1t was delighted when the
civil pension list was started with the
names of Mrs, Logan and Mrs. Blair; it
Ia a covert opponent of tariff tax reduc-
ton and advocates the adjustment of in
ternal revenue taxes, and its last freak
was to declare the direct tax refunding
scheme an act OF justice. The San An
tonic LIGHT believes with the Day..in all
these things.
The source OF this criticism Is imma-
terial, the fact is pertinent that the
Day is arraigned for believing certain
things, holding certain views, and that
these views are not democratic because
the LIGHT 80 believes and holds. This
is well deserved compliment TO the in
telligent and consistent position of the
LIGHT on public questions. 1t shows.that
even among those who do not accept its
teachings it is regarded as good republic
can authority and the exponent ofsound
republican principles. The Day need
not feel sore over the situation, nor
lonesome because 1t is read out of the
democratic camp. In a few years the
democratic journals will all be bowling
for Blair bills, civil pension lists, aboli-
ton OF internal revenue taxes, save on
whisky, and all and sundry the things
for which the Day is now hauled over
the Goals. Did not the democracy once
howl as loudly against national cur
rency, resumption Of specie payment,
public improvements, national aid to
education, ETC., as they now howl for
these things? 1t is only a question of
few years and the democratic orators
will swear by all the names of Jefferson
that they were the orIginators of every

The Arkanso-Texas town on the north
border does not appear to banker after
river and harbor appropriations. 1t in
dulges its spleen at being so far re-
moved from that great element of purity,
water, as follows:
"The friends OF the river and harbor
bill failed to bring about suspension of
the rules Monday in the house, and pass
their measure without debate. This is
rough on Chairman Blanchard, as he
bases senatorial hopes on the success of
the bill, and his failure to ram it down
the Threats OF the members OF the house
renders its chances slim of coming up
again during the present session."
The TexarkaEa Times, from which the
above was captured, evidently waits
another presidential veto of river aud
harbor bill.

FOOD FOR REFLECTION.

FOOD fSH NET Leu iNJN.
There is food for reflection, whole
acres of 1t, cart-losds of 1t, wholesome
solid, digestible food in the following
announcement of c. E. Ferguson, in the
Little Rock Gazette, Arkansas:
1.-THE planning mill, lumber and good
will OF the Ferguson Lumber company is
for sale. We do not propose to live in a
community where the judges of election
are all OF one political party, and where
said judges refuse to admit single per-
son to witness them count the votes"
This is the trouble liz more southern
states than Arkansas. The solid south,
the exolusiveness Of democratic control
over the ballot box, the irresponsible ma
ture Of the democratic control OF cleo
lions, the absolute refusal of the demo-
cracy to permit republican judges to sit
with democratic judges as supervisors
OF elections, and the refusal also to per-
NIT republican witnesses to be present
while the votes are being oounted-these
things are q standing menace to the
freedom and purity Of the ballot box
and will not be submitted to by men ao-
customed to see votes honestly cast and
counted. While these things exist and
are permitted and defended in
the southern states 1t can not
be expected that any very general influx
of northern capital or northern: work
men or northern farmers will tide south
ward into democratic strongholds. The
eyes of the north, Of the whole country,
are being opened to the real facts of
suppressed ballots in the southern
states. The efforts being made to in
duce immigration into the southern
states naturally leads to very particular
and specific enquiries concerning the
conditions Of society, and the corrup-
ton of the democratic methods OF con.
trolling elections are brought out. The
facts are no longer disguised, nor dis
guisable, and Henry Watterson only
made virtue OF necessity in his article
In Forum, so widely quoted, so general
ly commented upon by republican jour
nails, so judiciously dropped like hot
potato by the democratic journals.
While southern states, Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Texas and others are bidding for
an influx OF northern populations, let
them carefully read the plain announce
ment of Little Rock Ferguson and re-
member that Ferguson in this case
stands for all that Is desirable in the
way of capital, enterprise, industry.
These things will not come where free
ballot and fair count is not assured
or this fact let some sections of Texas
take notice and govern themselves ao-
cordingly.

The VERDICT in the Fotheringham ex-
press robbery case whereby that young
agent OF the Adams express company
received a verdict of $40 900 damages for
false imprisonment is a crusher for the
Pinkerton thugs. Could the loss only
fall upon them it wonld be much more in
accordance with the eternal fitness of
things. Lieut.. Governor Thompson, Of
st. Louis, speaking of the suit says:
THE verdict is just and right.
think one effect that it will have is to
put and end to the sweat-box methods
ofPinkerton ,Furlong and ell other detec-
tives who have so long infriDged on the
rights Of men, imprisoning them at
pleasure and using other such means to
extort an admission of guilt. So large
judgment has never before been reoov-
cred In a similar case. and 1t Is therefore
a lesson to such men as Pinkerton and
Others that was greatly needed. If this
verdict does not deter such men in
future from restraining persons from
their liberty without warrant OF law,
shall be much mistaken"
