The City Council Of Fort ~ orth has de-
cided that the man who serves as Mayor
for the next two years shall receive the
munifcent salary of 5000 - Corpus
Christi Caller.
A little fun may be extracted from the
above, but, when it comes 10 public en-
terprises for building up q town, Fort
Worth "gets there ell the same" When
the Fort wants railroad It generally gets
1t. It wanted etc OK yards, snd the "munif-
cent" sum OF $500. 000 procured them,sr
before two more issues of the Caller are
printed the Fort will have the stock sub
scribed to build six STORY board of trade
building. That is the kind Ct ''hsir pin"
the Fort Is. When it wants anything,
even to convention, it generally gets IL,
and IL the plover season is good this
spring it may get refrigerator.

LOUISIANA POLITICS.

The state convention of Louisiana
Democrats that convened at Baton
Rouge has finally disposed of the greatest
part OF its lsbors by the nomination CT
Ex-Governor Nichols as the Democratic
candidate for Governor. The struggle
was arrayed sgsinst faction, snd the war
has been carried On even unto the death Of
some OF the most prominent and active
, politicians OF the state. The Times Dem
ocrat and Picayune have had expert &C
countsnts employed upon their editorial
stats for month or so 10
figure up the returns, and,
strange ss it may ap-
pear, while the reputation
and standing of each Of the
newspapers named depended upon the
accuracy of their findings, each figured
out the result in s vastly different man
ner. The Tlmes-Democrat would have
it that McEnery was ahead by large ma
joritY, and the Picayune, with IS much
argument as it could force into the logic
Of figures, insisted that Nichols was the
coming man, and the result shows that
the latter calculated wisely. The oppo-
sition to McEnery was not only personal,
but largely on account of his desire to
serve third term. Third termism is 6
political sin which the people Of
this country, especially of the south,
cannot readily forgive. Not only
is two terms in an important
executive Office considered long enough
and honor enough for any man, but it is
as long as tie demands of honest govern
ment will permit. The precedent was
established BY the father of this country,
and II is not wise 10 deyiste from his
teachings in this respect. No INST
ter who the man or where
the administration : two terms in an
executive office ling each other
