THE STATE sENAToRsHP.

The last issue OF the Georgetown Cou-
rant contains card of withdrawal from
Senator Glasscock, addressed to the people
of Williamson county. Referring to the
action of the Travis county democratic
convention, after reviewing its proceed
ings upon the question of instruction, he
says; 81 deem it useless for me to go be-
fore the district convention" Whether
the action of the Travis county convention,
in Endorsing Mr.. Giles for state senator,
reflected the will of the majority of that
convention can readily be ascertained by
reference to the list of delegates
elected by that convention to represent
ton. 1t was understood that both Mr..
Giles and Judge Glascock each had list
of names before the convention, whom
they desired should be selected as dele
gates, and the fact that the Giles ticket
was elected by large majority on poll
of the convention by wards and precincts
should decisively settle the question as to
who was the choice of that convention for
state senator,
In another column of the same issue of
the Courant is found an account of a pic
mic at Mankin's Springs, on the 18th,
where Judge Glasscock made a speech,
in which she told the people how he was
defrauded in Travis county, and stated
that if Mr.. Giles was nominated he would
run independent and would beat Giles
fifteen hundred votes" We can but hope
the Courants report of Judge Glasscock's
speech quotes him incorrectly. Without
stronger and more direct evidence from
Mr.. Glasscock himself we shall not believe
that a gentleman of his intelligence and
sterling democracy will lend himself to
such questionable means of gratifying
his personal pique or attempting to in
iure the party that has honored him in
the past.

COMPTROLLER MCCALL SAFE on HIS
RECORD.

As the state convention draws near, old
stories are being revamped for the pur-
pose of assailing Comptroller Mccall.
These stories were aDDihilated by the
action of the state convention of two
years ago that so enthusiastically an
nounced for Mr.. Mccall, thus discreditiug
them completely. Comptroller Mccall
can, in his present quest for another term,
we'll afford to stand on his official record
He knows his office better than any other
man in the state, and has, during the
past two years, done more work than any
other comptroller the state has ever had.
And this for the reason that in the past and
during his connection with the Office he
was always relied upon to perform certain
delicate and responsible duties. These
he thoroughly understands, and has in the
past two years watched and performed
them together with his other work. with
a smaller force at his command than
under his predecessors, and yet with the
duties of the office yearly increased,
Com ptroller Mccall to day has his office in
better condition than ever in the his DRY of
Texas. The back taxes are collected
more closely and every detail work is
completed up to date. Mr.. Mccall has
made an admirable comptroller; one with
whom the state is entirely satisfied. Heis
secure in his seat.

IT IS stated that, in proposing the
health of Emperor William at a banquet
given in his honor last week, the Gar of
Russia added "and his glorious army"
1t is very evident the Gar knows good
thing, oven at distance. The review of
Russian troops that followed, including
10000 men and $1,000 guns, showed also
that Russia was in tolerably good mill
tIry trim herself. 1t bodies well for the
peace of Europe to see these powerful
military nations thus fraternizing.

THE REPUBLICAN POSITION

The programme of the republicans has
heretofore been to assume the position of
mastery inactivity" as regards the tariff.
The present tariff suits the protectionists
too well, and were it not for the mutterings
of public opinion in different quarters of
the country the dominant faction in the
senate would no doubt drop the subject
altogether. But the unequivocal attitude
assumed by the democratic party in the
Mills bill puts the republicans on
the defensive, and will force
that party into a position its leaders
neither desired nor intended to occupy
From what Senators Allison and Aldrich
said yesterday, the republicans will now
make some faint and pretended effort in
the direction of tariff revision, a bil!-a
substitute for the Mills bill-being now
proposed by the sub committee of the
finance committee of the senate for that
purpose. In fact, the republican SEN
ators begin to feel the Influence

Mr.. Al Knoiin, sheep buyer for Swift,
is reported by the Denver Telegram as
having returned to Kansas City. He pur-
chased $4,000 fat sheep in Texas.
Stock sheep can be roughly quoted at
81 per head. Ths sales of stock sheep are
not very frequent, and there are some
transactions on record at S l.50 per head.
These are few AID far between.

A report is current that a cattle syndi-

valley of the Amazon. Application is also
to be made to the Argentine Republic for

individuals representing $5O,OOO,OO0 of

We have as yet noticed no call for the
organization of democratic clubs for the
county. Good and valuable time is being
wasted, gentlemen. There is nothing like
selling an opportunity. When the names
of all the democrats in the county are en-
rolled upon the lists of the different clubs,
the county will be very sure to elect the
straight ticket the democrats have put
out. Why delay the time of the good
work?

The interstate commerce commission
yesterday ordered the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railway to correct its
rates on oil, and to give the same rates GA
barrel carload los as on tank carload
lots. The roads appear to have made
lower rates on tank shipments than on
barrels, simply because tanks were less
trouble and less dangerous. Commits
sioner Bragg gave the opinion. 1t is a
question if Mr.. Bragg owned the road and
had to haul this oil, whether he would
agree to take barrels as cheap as tanks.
The probabilities are that he wouldn't
begin to do it.

of the tariff reform movement and its
spread among the people. They are
sharp enough to perceive the disastrous
effect of too deeply outlining their party
"A an anti reform organization in the
coming election,
There is little doubt that republic II
non-action in the senate on the Mills bill,
or tariff legislation in general, would be the
best card the democrats could play in the
campaign. The republican, posi-
ton would then be one of abso-
lite opposition to reform, while
Cleveland and Thurman and their party
could lay sole claim to the policy of tax
reduction and lifting unnecessary bur
dens from the people. Either voting down
or ignoring the Mills bill, or substituting
a sham measure in the interest of pro &C.
ton, would have the same effect. The
superior leadership, which originally put
the Mills bill through the house, has
forced the republican protsctionists into
a corner, preparatory to botting them
up in November.

The Water Supply in Curacao.

The governor, a courteous Holland gentle
man with fluent English AT command, lives
in a handsome house that forms part OF a
fortress of olden date, when church and state
alike needed help from good stone walls and
ready cannon. There was once, so they told
me. handsome park in front of the gray,

shatieless upon the bay; but when it became
a question between water for people and
water for trees, the latter naturally went

hberate fashion from out an abso-

deep dark waters of the bay, small rainbows
danced in jolly play, and sparkling drops
shone bright on every rope aboard. In
few minutes it was over; a few more and
another shower came; the clear sunshine con-
tinuiuS steady through all, as II it had no part
whatever in such freaks. This sort of thing
had been going on nearly every day for
fourteen months when we arrived, and the
land was wet sponge in consequence. And
then, on the debit side, until that time, 1t
had been eight years since any rain at all
had fallenl At that time water was brought
from the mainland in barrels sufficient TO
