as expressed in the choice of this or that
candidate for any particular Office. The
expressions of strong endorsement of
Judge A. S. Walker and Comptroller John
d. Mccall for another term of office were
we'll timed, well deserved and thoroughly
in lire with the universal sentiment and
wish of the people of this entire section of
the state.
The democratic ticket, as now made out
and upon which the fight must be made,
is a strong one. 1t is a ticket
that inspires confidence and it is a ticket
that will win. The disappointed candi-
dates will, of course, experience chagrin,
but they will quietly fall into line and help
fight the battle of the party. The dem
ocracy of Travis is thoroughly united;
there are no splits or cliques, and the cam
paign this year will be for blood. Success
to the ticket and party!

THE STATE IN LINE FOR DEEP WATER

Even the Galveston News is constrained
to accept, with commentator, the work
of the Fort Worth deep water convention.
And why should it not? Nothing was
done in the convention to prejudice the
claim of Galveston to be chosen by the
proposed corps of United States engi-
neers as the point most suitable to be
converted into the desired port. Nothing
was done, except, perhaps, the inference
or implication of censure of the wharf
monopoly of that city, by the resolution
against a repetition of such a monopoly
at the new port, that could be con-
strued as inimical t oGalveston. So
now the whole state is united on the plan
adopted for locating such harbor as the
needs of the state have long demanded.
If the money desired is to be obtained
from congress, then this unity is absolutely
necessary. If the money is to be raised
here, at home, and also by aid from other
states, this unity is further guarantee OF
success. If congress won't appropriate
the money, then the state must do the
work herself, and to accomplish the de-
sired end other states directly interested,
will add their proportionate share of the
expense. But if they fail or refuse to do
this, then Texas is able and will do the
work of her own unaided means. And
no thought of failing to do it lest other
states bearing none of the burdens may
reap some and great deal of the benefits,
will have weight with us to deter US from
at least so greatly serving ourselves. The
Denver convention will foc1s this whole
question. 1t will crystalline the will of
several states into a demand that must
bear fruit. Texas and the New West are
aroused and mean to gain their point
deep water on our coast.

WHATEVER doubts may have existe d
heretofore in regard to the candidacy of
Judge Terrell for the state senate, are
decisively settled by the card of that dis
tinguished gentleman in to-day's STATES
MAN. He not only declines to enter the
race as a candidate, but states positively
and distinctly he will under no circum-
stance accept nomination should it be
rendered to him. Judge Terrell for many
years represented this district in the
senate with signal ability, and no man
to-day occupies warmer place in the
hearts of the people.

WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

The convention of the democracy of
Travis county has met, performed its
work and adjourned. Never in the his
tory of Travis county was its convention
so well attended and made up of such
essentially representative citizens. The
foremost citizens of both the city and
county were there, and the convention may
be said to have thoroughly represented
the advanced sentiments and wishes of
the county. The work of the convention
was tedious and arduous, and the whole of
the day and much of the night was re-
quired to complete its numerous labors.
The number of candidates was
legion, requiring many ballots to deter
mine the contests. There was throughout
spirit of harmony and always a ready
concurrence in the will of the con vention,

port on our coast. 1t would give effect
to the general and growing belief that the
present plan OF harbor building needs re-
vision, and Texas and her sister states to
the northwest would be found in the
breach, furnishing the national govern
ment practical solution of the question
of how quickest and surest to secure deep
water on any coast line where desirable.

THREE millions of value swept out of
existence, lost, ennihilated by single
flood of two or three days length. The
figures are huge, but they can give no
idea of the waste of property, the destruc-
ton of life, the ruin, devastiop, heart
sickness and poverty wrapped up in the
bare statement that such terrible disas-
ter occurred. The ways of Providence
are inscrutable, and many home in
West Virginia and Pennsylvania is to-
day in rebellion against this strange dis
pensation.

to lose him.

The Washington Evening Star paints
no bright prospect for the dignified mil
lionaire House of Lords, otherwise called
the senate. 1t outlines a future for
that body that is tipped with no roseate
hues, but is overshadowed with gloomy
premonitions of stormy work and per-
picking doubts. Itsays: "Certain repub
lcan senators have at last reached the
point of admitting that it is probable that
the Mills bill will be passed by the house,
and that provision of some sort must be
made for dealing with it in the senate.
The prevailing idea seems to be that a
substitute ought to be prepared by the
republican senators. But what shall the
substitute be? Shall it sweep away the
whisky tax altogether? Shall it limit the
abolition of the tax on pirits to alcoholic
liquids used in the arts, with all the in
creased official espionage and inquisition
incidental to such distinction? How
shall sugar be treated, so as to effect a
compromise between the people and the
planters? These and many other puzzling
questions must be answered before that
substitute can be framed, and it is posi-

THIS certainly has been year of disas-

THE QUEEN OF sERvIA.

There have been few events in modern
history at once more pathetic, cruel and
despotic than the taking by force from
Queen Natalie her little son, Prince Alex
ander. The seizure was not on the soil
of Servia, but by German police, and, what
makes it worse, one of the purposes in
thus tearing the child from the bosom of
its mother was revenge on the part of
King Milan because his queen, exercising
the natural and inalienable right of every
woman, refused to be reconciled or again
to live with him.
Whether the queen has been blameless
or not, the invasion of her residence and
the seizure of her child was one of those
acts of heartlessness against which hui
mainly reyolts.

The Hon. John Hancock, of our city,
was made chairman of the deep water
convention committee appointed to collect
data and information for the guidance of
the convention or its committees in their

long study and close attention to this
subject, thoroughly familiarized himself
with all Its features, and has store of

able assistance at this crisis. The selec-
ton was an honor to him, but will prove
of more advantage to the work in hand.

The "Yirginia Agricultural, Mechanical
and Tobacco Exposition" which will be
given in Richmond from October to
November 81 of this year, is now being
literally advertised. All that section of
the union will, of course, be on hand, and
it would pay visitors from long distances
to make the trip. In this connection
some statistics of Richmond will prove
of interest as showing strangers what
they may expect. The following seems
authentic and bears date January l, 1888:
Population, with Manchester (separated
only by the river), 100000; capital in
business, $20,475,546O 100; annual sales,
$6S $751;, $4,000; value of real and personal
property, 61,05l 10000; banking capital,
$2,220OO0.00; surplus and undivided
profile, 100000; $50 manufactures,
employing 1881 hands.
Richmond is the center of the railroad
travel of the state and boasts of having
within its limits the largest electric rail

Let us Have a Reformation.
Nrom the Hnnstnn Post

Every two years the state of Texas
sends It's business agents up
to its capitol to transact the
business of the state. AS the business of
an entire state is greater or more ;mpor
taut than that Of any lesser institution,
public or private, or in other words, as the
whole is greater and more important than
q part, one would naturally suppose that
the business men in state would be
chosen to transact its business and say
what shall and what shall not be done.
When corporation or a responsible bus
mess firm employs agents to assist in
looking after its affairs, and for whose
acts it is legally responsible, it does not
pick up the first man that comes along,
regardless of his qualifications, and set
him to work in responsible position, but
it chooses those whom it knows are fully
qualified to look after its interests. This
is business, and anything short of this is
not business. How much more important,
then, is it to have qualified business men
to transact business by which an entire
state Is to be governed and controlled.
Ought not such a body to be composed of
the very best business men that can be
found in the state? None but an idiot
would say "nay" to such a proposition
And, yet,in spite of we'll settled conviction
to this effect, Texas has been sending
to her capitol, year after year, to make
and unmake laws and to look after the
states business, politicians without bust
ness qualifications, and, in most instances
men so entirely free from them they
sought the Office because they could make
more by working for daily wages than
they could earn at home! What a bur-
lesque on business management is this
And what has been the result? Simply
this: The states financial departments
have always been and still are in mud
die; laws are made that are never enforced
by reason of their absurdity; measures of
great magnitude have been permitted to
slumber for the want of ability to handle
them, and practicability has character
lied every session in the past from
its beginning to its end. Now,
what we need and must
have before the states affairs can be
properly conducted is class of men in
our legislature that know how to conduct
them. We want men whose ideas extend
beyond their daily bread and butter, and
who are not eternaly asking themselves
show will my vote on this question affect
my chances for re election to this or to
some other officer" We want men 10 go
there who could work there, if need be,
without daily wages, and whose political
selt-lnterests do not outweigh those of the
state. This being the eve of an election
for new representatives, The Post calls on
its contemporaries throughout the state
to unite and assist in manufacturing
public opinion that will bring
about reform where one is much needed

Free whisky, as proposed by the repub-
lcan platform, means an epidemic of
drunkenness. 1t means a premium on
intemperance. 1t means that man can
get drunk for dime. 1t means universal
Generalization and saturnalia of crime
and lawlessness. At least that's what it
would mean if it were carried out. But
the American people have too much virtue
and patriotism to permit such vicious
and wicked policy to prevail. They will
keep the tax on whisky and reduce the
taxes on clothing and shelter.-Indian-
