THE Galveston News and the Cal
weston Tribune never see alike on any
question, they cannot even agree up
on the terms of abuse they shall en-
ploy against republicans. The News
having animadverted against Quincy,
in connection with the late convention
of republicans at Fort Worth, the Til
bune comes to the front with the fol-
lowing:
THE News says that Quincy got a
black eye from his party at Fort
Worth. To an unprejudiced observer
it would seem that Quincy gave the
black eyes to the other fellows; ne e
simply took the G. o. p. by the tail ana
pounded a few of the would-be heads
offagainst the curbstone."
The democracy seem much more ex-
ercised over that Fort Worth meeting
than are the great bulk of the repub-
lican party.

THE Divine Emma is not to be out
done. The American opera going
world has heard so mnch and seen so
much of Langtry's smile and Potter's
dresses that the Abbott is under COM
puIsion to furnish brand new SER
sation as a drawing card or get left.
The metropolitan press is now Civ
ing due notice that the Divine Emma
will appear in her concert acts this
winter clad in a dress Of spun glass
the secret of making which is shared
by but two persons in the world, one
of whom has recently immigrated to
America. Emma sung the secret out
of his unwilling soul and pays him
fabulous price for the weaving which
is nearly completed. Nature adorned
will be in this case adorned the least.

SOUTHWEST, in common with some
other journals, is finding that hair
of the dog that bit the other fellow, is
not bad dose to arouse a sense of
the danger attending the bite. So
long as republican votes were counted
out these fellows had the lock jaw in
the matter and cold comfort was
dOsed out to all who had any COM
plants to make. Now that the labor
candidates in Arkansas are counted
ont by wholesale frauds and stealIngs
the organs of the working men are
growing very loud in their denuncia-
tons, and clamOr for "a free ballot
and fair count" Southwest says:
us it not shameful fact that after
more than a century's existence of the
Republic. election frauds are perpe.
trated in different parts of the COun'
try every year. Cannot they be stop
ped:"
Southwest must answer his owl
conundrum. Such frauds only occur
in democratic states. This is gospe
truth. The democracy alone can stOr
them, and only will when the journals
of that party insist upon it. So long
as ballet steals are quietly passed by
on the part of the democratic press, 81
long will they continue to be perpe
trated.

THE Castroville Anvil is very wide
of the mark when it says:
The deep water excitement has
subsidized rather suddenly. The deep
wind work was grand success"
The agitation for deep water con-
tinues, but it may be that the Anvil
man is not posted in work which the
deep water convention did at Denver
and is now carrying on by the organi-
cation permanently affected there. If
the Anvil has ears to hear let him
hear and he will hear something from
Dallas before many days roll by.

THE Bastrop Advertiser IN remark
ing upon the increased immigration
likely to flow into Texas this winter
says, "enlarge your hotels and GENE
ferries" This last may be needed in
Bastrop but not here. San Antonio is
the healthiest place in the country
Judged by her mortality returns. The
advice to enlarge the hotels is good
and is being religiOusly followed.

THE Willis Point Chronicle prom

THE Waco Day cuts down the as
sumed democratic one hundred and
fifty thousand majority in Texas to
one hundred and twenty-five thous-
and, and considers anything below
that a democratic defeat. The Day
says:
Hon. Barnett Gibbs is vice-presi-
dent for Texas of the national associa-
ton of democratic clubs, and is there
fore charged with the general direc-
ton of the presidential campaign in
this state. The task is not onerous
Texas is the easiest state in the union
to carry for the democracy. All you
have to do is to count the votes after
they are cast and deduct the little fig
ures from the big ones-the balance
shows the democratic majority. And
if that majority is not at least l25.OO
votes for Cleveland and reform, Bar
ney will gain no laurels as campaign
manager"
This is placing Ex-Governor Gibbs
in hole without affording him an OPP
portunity to draw the hole in after
him. as the figures are almost certain
to 90 below one hundred thousand.

THE roll of yellow fever victims con-
tinues to swell. Every mail but adds
to the horrors of the situation and
threatens repetition of the horrors
OF ten years ago. Memphis, always
ready to take alarm at the slightest
mention of yellow fever, so much so,
that local reporters were virtually for
hidden the use Of the word il their
daily work, has drawn a military cor
don around the city and pushes her
nOn-intercOurse quarantine to the
EXTREMIST limits. The general health
of that city remains good. No cases
of fever have made their appearance,
and yet over four thousand residents,
principally the wives and daughters
of merchants and business men,
have left the city within "a week.
Members of the Mississippi state
health board are refused permission
to pass through the city and return
from meeting Of the board, to be
held at TerpulO, and the railroads
have fairly suspended travel on the
east of the city. Business is at
standstill, and Memphis sits desOlate
on the ragged edge of her fears, for
which, at present, there does not
seem to be much real occasion.

THE American press draws or seem
to draw, the line in prize fighting at
women, and rails in good round turns
at the late female prize fight. If no
press report had been made of that
fight there never would have been
another. The only way to prevent
such exhibitions is to deny to those
who engage in them the nOtOriety for
which they pine.

OF THE CHICAGO CLUB:

bring Captain Adrian c. Arson, of
the Chicago club, into such proml-
nence that the average reader of the
newspaper, whose acquaintance with
the national game is next to nothing,
has a curiousity about this man. M.
J. Kelly, of the Boston club, says An
son is 1.-THE greatest baseball captain
the country has produced" The
striking commentary on this chanc-
teriZatiOn is the succession Of victories
recently won by the Chicago men,
and which seriously imperil the
chances of the New York Giants to
win the pennant, that seemed so good
only few weeks ago.
Then Arson is "a wonderful batter.
He was the Champion League batter
of 1887, 1881 and 1879. Last year his
percentage was .42l, and he played in
l22 games.
Both his admirers and detractOrs-
if there are any of these-say he is
prodigious kicker, and the enemy
ANYTHING like peace of mind in the
umpire. However this may be, a
careful review of his career as cap
tain. shows that he never kicks with
out having a chance to gain by the
operation, and probably half his kicks
have been successful. Arson knows
the rules of the game thoroughly,
keeps his head level, and when he
kicks kicks to some purpose.
He is a fine-lOOking, large-bodied
man. but is the smallest of several
sons born to his good father at Mar
shalltOwn, Iowa. In 1871 he became
member of the Forest City Club OF
Rockford, Ill, The National League
was organized in 1876, and this is
Anson's thirteenth year of connection
with it. His record as a batter has
always been high, his lowest average
being $40.
The king of baseball players resides
in Chicago. He is married man. His
father lives to enjoy the story of his
sons sporting triumphs. Anson's
pecularities are not all of an agree
able sort "The old man." as his
players call him, is not always as con-
| ciliatorv in tone and manner as he
might be, but he is honest and fear
| less in the expression of his opinion,
and has a good nature under the rough
exterior he at times assumes.
IN the field Arson has a sharp eye,
and watches the doings of his men
like cat would a mouse. Another
thing which few managers possess,
is the ability to tell whether young
ster has the markings of ball player
in him. In this respect, Arson is a
king. If there is any ball playing in
an amateur, and providing the colt is
willing to learn. Arson will make q
success OF him in a very short time
The Chicago club are firm believers
in young Blood, as they are quicker
to iearn'than the older players. The
men who have played under AnsoI
speak in the highest terms of HIM
He is strict OH his men, and this ac
counts for the good work he gets GU
of them.
In stature Arson is giant. He i
we'll proportion ed and muscular, an(
not an ounce of supertiuous flesh doe
he carry on his frame. He is known
throughout the country by many pc
names, such as Baby" Kicker,
Big Swede," "Anse" and "The OLE
Man" but in every city he is popula
and we'll liked. HIS players call hin
"The Old Man. as they think them
} selves youngsters compared to him.

ONLY six weeks more and the de-
e;sive day of political destiny will
dawn. Voorhees, says that it is only
a question of time when both the
democratic and republican parties
will be swamped by the prohibition
lists" and the sun of political victory,
which rose so gloriously over Cleve-
land in 1884, will set in darkness for
him forever. The republicans, how
ever, propose to have little lease Of
political life and national admins
tration of the government before this
day of destiny, so positively promised
by Dan, shall dawn upon this

OLD country grain crops are not up
to the high water mark of the Ameri-
can crops this year. The supplies from
Egypt will be curtailed, and there
will be good demand for American
wheat. 1t is estimated that the short
age in France will call for $4,000, 900
bushels alone. This will be a good
year for American farmers, and q
good year for the republican party. A
republican victory is generally secure
good harvest year.

WEST VlRGINIA'S OPPOKTU.
NIFTY.
AS Discussed by the Advocate.

Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.
The question of supreme import
ance to the people of West Virginia
for the coming six months is the
prohibitory constitutional amend
ment. The opportunity of voting
on this amendment at a popular
election is a privilege not easily
secured, and one which, if the
amendment should fail, may not
soon return. Therefore, every
Christian, every temperance man,
every friend of humanity, every
freud of peace and good order in
society, and every one who seeks
business stability and commercial
prosperity should stand ready to do
his utmost to secure the success of
the measure.
From our knowledge of the State
and the latest information we have
been able to gain, we have no
doubt that the friends of the
amendment are in a majority in
the state, but whether they can be
properly aroused and brought to
the polls remains to be seen.
Wisdom, energy and perseverance
on the part of the friends and
managers of the amendment will
ineure success.
1t would be great mistake,
however, to underestimate the
strength and character Of the enc
nv to be overcome and the difficult
ties involved in the case. The
friends of rum will not surrender
until overcome and routed. They
are determined, and strongly in
trenched in politics, business and
social customs. They will pour
out money without measure.
Those who are located in other
states who are interested in the
whisky trade of thai state, and
hundreds of others who have no
interest but to make common
cause with friends against the
temperance movement, will give
large support to the enemy of the
amendment. For the time being
West Virginia becomes the battle
field ON which the two forces are to
meet, on which the strength Of rum
will be concentrated, and on which
the eyes of the country will be
fixed. The friends of the amend
ment in the state should therefore
feel the importance of their posi-
ton, and those in other states
should send material aid and give
all the moral support possible. A
victory for prohibition in West
Virginia will be a victory for the
cause in the whole country, and q
defeat will have its disastrous
effects on the whole country. X
No Republican or Democrat
should stop to consider for mo-
ment the effect of prohibition on the
future of his party, either locally
or at large, nor yet upon any polit-
ical aspirations of his own. The
question in its present form is en-
tirely free from party entangle-
ments, and should be free from all
party and personal influences.
Il Whatever party ticket he may
vote that day, every man should
a vote for the amendment. This is
clearly right for every temperance
man, and he can afford TO do right
without regard to the consequences
to himself or to his party. The
right always wins in the end, and
the wise man takes his stand with
"a it. and wins with IL
