consider the varied difficulties and the
coucer tresed opposition to reform, the
direct force and bribery, the deception
and evssions getting possession OF the
Democratic ranks, the cstchwords, the
bribes, the purchase OF the press, the
means and opportunities of deception,
aud the appeals to ignorance and preju-
dice, the wonder is that reform should
ever take place.
Mr.. Breckenridge says:
There Is not law that gives protection
to any industry but what was engineered
by private lobby. There is not pro-
vision that has not some private interest
behind it and some paid advocate to gee
that 1t is not disturbed. Legislatures
have been bought, Governors nominated
and Congressmen purchased TO keep Ger
tain provisions In the law.
The Rev. DR.. Talmage who Is regarded
as one of The brightest lights OF the
American pulpit, says:
The overshadowing curse Of America
to-day is monopoly. He puts his hand
upon every bushel OF wheat, every sack
Of salt and every ton Of coal, and not
man, woman nor child In America, but

tism. Hin ecspter IL made out of the iron

people Of this stste long after my name
shall have been forgotten.
This letter is written from roy home,
where have resided for thirty five yesrs,
and 1 had fondly hoped that would be able
to spend the remainder OF my days in
peace and quiet, free from all exciting
and angry political controversy. Your
letter conveying me the fact thst stste

men in our state had overlooked superior
merit and ability, and risen above
party prejudice, party interest, and even
party obligations, 10 give me their unani-
nous and ulopp0sed recommendation for
the position OF Governor OF our great
state, and realizing the truth expressed
in your letter thst ''this is day when we
need action By the people," 1 cannot
allow any selfish desire of mine TO
excuse or relieve me from any
OBJ igation OF duty owe to the
people of Texas. Other old friends
throughout the state are earnestly solicit
ing and appealing to me to become can
didate. Such appeals coming directly
from the people certainly destroys all my
hope Of rest and quiet-snd dare mol
take into consideration the chances OF
success or defeat-as no phantom Of hope
OF success could dit through the solitude
Of my Imagination, duty at this no ur should

Paul King Sheffield.

From the Southport. Conn. ) Advertiser.l
 It is with great sorrow that we chronicle the death of MT. P. K. Sheffield. The news was a great surprise and shock to us. He was taken i'll with symptoms of rheumatic trouble on Wednesday, November 7. No se- rious results were anticipated, but sudden change for the worse occurred to-day, (Fri- day), and at p. rn he passed away. The heart seems to have been affected, which caused the fatal issue.
 Mr. Sheffield has been so long and so favor ably known in our community that no words need be added to deepen the sense of person al loss which all will feel. He was the last of the three brothers whose interest in their old home in Southport never Tagged. Cap tain Pascal and Mr. Paul were we'll known, extended, as MT. Joseph E. Sheffield was equally known and honored on land.
 Of late years MT. Paul K. Sheffield has re- sided in Fairfield. Shortly before his death he had taken up his residence in Bridge port. But much time was spent in South port, and he always urged on and eo-operat- ed in every enterprise that would develop bis native village.
 His eye was not dimmed nor his force of will abated when thus at the age of e4 he passed away, and all join in the hearty good wishes of peace to his memory, and regret at his departure.
 The funeral services will be held by his own request in Trinity church, Southport on Tuesday next at p. m., the rector of the parish, Rev. O. G. Adams, officiating. One more honored landmark is gone. And l wa of tke vonnger generation are made tC realize the burden that is henceforth nneIF | and more ours alone.

A NOBLE WORK.

Dr. Grancher, MT. Pasteur's chief assistant, has lately reviewed M. Pasteur's labors in in- oeulation for rabies. He has done great lated in 1885. Up to July of this year 5,3S4 persons had been treated in the Paris laboratories. In 1886 the number inoeulated was 2,682, in 1887 it was IT'S, and in the first six months of the present year it was 914. The rate of mortality in the first year was 1. .34 per cent. It fell to 1.12 in the seo- ond year, and in the first half of the present year it was only TT. The mortality that fur- nished these rates included the deaths of per- sons in whom the poison had become devsl- oped when they were subjected to treatment. It has been estimated that before Pasteur's method wns used the mortality was about 16 per cent. of the persons bitten. There have Seven of these are in Russia, five are in Italy and each of five other countries-Roumsnia, Austria, Brazil, Cuba and the Argentine Re- publie-has one. Nearly 1000 cases have been treated in these branch institutions. At St. Petersburg ASA have been inoculated, with mortality of 2. .66 per cent. The num- Der of those treated at Odessa has been l, 1855, the rate of mortality under the mild treat ment in 1886 having been 3.39, while in the two following years under the "intentive' treatment it fell to .58 and .64 respectively In Havana ITO were inoeulated, with g nor tality rate of 60 per cent. The high rate oi mortality in Russia Is accounted for by the fact that many of the patients had been bit ten by mad wolves

versity of princely legacy. By her will, made in Berlin eight years ago, Mrs. Jennie McGraw Fiske, daughter of John McGraw and wife of Professor Willard Fiske, be- 9ueathed the greater part of her vast wealth to Cornell university. The will was con- tested by her husband on the ground that Cornell university was limited by it's char ter in the amount of property it might hold and that it had already reached that limit. The Court of Appeals sustains this view in the case of the will of Mrs. Fiske, and also that of her father. The amount-exeeeding a million dollars-which would have gone to the university had the wills been upheld now goes to the contesting heirs.

THANKSGIYING.

Again we come to the time of thanksgiving and turkey. We have much to be thankful for to-day as 8 nation, and most of the in- habitants of this great, glorious and compara- lively free country can find something to be thankful for in their own condition and cir- cumstances. Let us all, therefore, give thanks and be glad, or as glad as we can. And if we can make somebody else glad and thank full to day it will be very fitting thing to do.

Rufus Hatch wants all railroad directors
 on taking office to be obliged by law to take
 an ironclad oath that they will not speculate in the securities of their railroad, and that they will use their ability, influence and in- terest only for the best interests of the stock holders whom they represent. There is some sense in this, but the oath would have to be pretty heavily clad not to be broken by some railroad directors.
