Elections and Election Returns.

Election returns in this state do not ap-
pear to have been expedited by the law of
1887 providing extra election officers to
count the ballots. 1t is a wretched sys-
tenn under which the result of local and
state elections in a Texas county can not
be known until the result of the presi-
dental election is published in every civil
liked country on the globe. Election
tickets in the first place contain too many
names, because too many officers are re-
quired by the state and local governments,
and too many of those required are cleo
tive. If elections must recur every two
years the official terms might
well be extended to four years, so
that state and district officers could
be elected a. different time from the
election of county and precinct officers.
An extension of the terms would be ex-
pected to induce a greater scramble for
the offices, and yet as this expectation
would be founded upon the idea that the
longer terms rendered the offices more de-
sirable, it might be plausibly argued that
better class of candidates would be
elected. At any rate the votes would be
more quickly counted and the time and
opportunity for fraud correspoudiDgly
diminished. The election of state Off
GERS to serve four years is
favored very generally, and no
reason why county and district
officers should serve less term than state
officers can be shown. Practically state
officers enjoy four years. term. 1t is so
because the people believe less term
does not test their merits. 1t will
not be denied that if the election of thes
officers was at a different election from
that of county officers there would be less
trading. In answer to all this it may &C.
cur to the reader to remark that the peo-
pie are not prevented from re-electiup
their officers, and thus practically extend
ing the term of Office as long as desired.
Ga tile other hand, however, it is to be OBJ
served that candidates who would
be most acceptable and likely to obtain
reelection are deferred from offer
ing for office on account of the recurring
pains, penalties and expense of biennial
campaigns. But, to return to the delay
In counting the vote, it is believed that
much time would be saved if the polls
were opened and closed earlier. No rea-
son exists why the polls should not be
opened at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning
and closed by or before p. m. If with
this change the number of voting places
were increased and the number of officers
voted for at each election reduced, and if
all voters were registered so that election
Jud ges would lose nc time il passing upon
their qualifications, the result of the cleo
ton won d be ascertained promptly, as in
other states, and the margin for frauds,
repeating and ballot-box stuffing greatly
reduced.-Galveston News.

first called attention to these high-handed
proceedings and the narrow escape from
being murdered made by the crew of the
Boston schooner William Jones indicates
the necessity of our governments i'm
mediate interference and the stoppage of
these insults to our flag. General Legi-
time appears to be the de facto head of
government at Port Au Prince and he
should be held responsible.

The letter of ex-President Jefferson
Davis to President Starke, of the Rich
mond, Va, exposition, an extract from
which is published in the dispatches this
morning, indicates that the infirmities of
age are at last beginning to tell upon the
body of the distinguished leader of the
Confederaoy. But the expressions in the
letter, one of declination of warm invita-
ton to be present at the exposition,
manifest the same power, as of old, of one
of the great minds of the century, un-
dimmed and unclouded by age.

An Old Family.

President Harrison, on his mother s
side, Is of the Boiling family, of Virginia,
and thus of kin to the immortal John
Randolph. Branches of this family have
invaded Georgia aud Alabama, Old Boil
ing Cox, who settled in st. Clair county,
IN this state, about sixty years ago, was of
this lllustriou5 house. His wife was a
Cabinesse, of Georgia, who was of the de-
scendants of Huguenots that came with
Bayard's fathers from France IN the reign
OF the wicked Louis *. Boiling Cox's
Oldest child and daughter wore q breast
pin OF gold, an exact copy in miniature of
the key to the room in the Tower of Lon
don In which Anne Boiling or Boleyn,
spent the last night of her life. This Miss
Cox had also nine old silver spoons, on
which Anne Bolling's name and family
crest were carved, together with the
family Bible, printed IN 1850 in London.
1t is presumed, therefore, that the children
of Boiling Cox are "lireslly" descended
from the family of Anne Boiling, the
mother of the great and good Queen
Bess" who governed England so we'll and
wisely through a long and memorable
reign 500 years ego when DeSoto was
traverslng Alabama. These facts are
rather curious than valuable, but still have
interest, and especially since the president
elect of the United States is of kin to very
many Observation-Disclosures (Ala.)

The Philadelphia Record has something
to say about the alleged tidal wave. 1t is
instructive reading: "The democrats of
the city of Philadelphia have no reason to
bs ashamed of the record they made on
Tuesday. They gave Grover Cleveland
21,356 more votes this year than in 1884,
and reduced the republican plurality in
this city l2,O49 votes. This gain is, pro-
portionately to our voting strength, very
much larger than the gain of Cleveland in
the city of New York. 1t is a significant
showing that in the two great centers of
manufacturing industry in this country
the cause of tariff reform has made its
chief advance"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-11-22

THE New York Times says: "It Gen
eral Harrison is capable of emulating the
courage and the honesty with which his
predecessor has treated public questions,
he may be sure that he will be equally
beyond the need of patronage, and if he
is not it is questionable whether the use
of patronage will avail him. There has
been within the last four years a real,
though partly unconscious, progress in
the popular way of looking at this ques-
ton. A clean sweep now would horrify
men who would have taken it as a matter
of course if Mr.. Cleveland had ventured
upon it." Civil service is an excellent
thing and should be strictly held to by
both political parties when in power; but
we in this neck of the woods expect that
same "clean sweep" they are all talking
about.

The Courier-Journal (Watterson) charges
that Indiana was literally bought; that
Harrison's son returned from Chicago a
few days before the election with large
amounts of money, which was put where
it would do the most good. Without
doubt the barons also used money in New
York and Brooklyn, and if two states, on
which hinged the victory, were really pur-
chased, and the election along with them,
it bodies no good to the liberties of this
country.

As the returns come in from the coun'
ties in the west, for two years stricken
with the drouth, they show, instead OF an
increased vote over two years ago, fall
ing off of about an average of ten or IF
teen per cent in the various counties.
These voters have either drifted into other
counties or left the state. Cannot Texas
by forestry laws or in some practicable
way, as perhaps irrigat ion, guard against
these drouth plaques and keep her people
in general prosperity
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-11-22

OTHER states may have swerved from the
straight and true line, but Texas will have
her eleven tried democratic congressman in
the next house, and if they cannot stand
up for us and our rights, even against a
republican majority, we very much mis-
take our men. We will be of more politi-
cal Importance after 1890, when we have
fifteen or sixteen congressman instead of
eleven, and that, too, even if the rate of
representation is very materially in
creased; and when we have thirty-fve
electoral votes watch US name the presi-
dent. 1t may not be many years off.

FLIcKRRING hope seems still alive in
some sections of New York state that
Cleveland may yet be declared president
Such hope we fear and believe is of the
deferred" order that maketh the heart
sick. But gracious, heavens, what let
ting down of republicans it would be! The
delirium in such a thought is too intense
for sober-sided democrats to NEEDLE
with it.

In the recent election for congressman
in the First district of Texas 1850 votes
we're polled. Colonel Charles Stewart,
democrat, received 1925, Judge Mcdaniel,
republican, received 1905 and Mr.. Davis,
union labor candidate, received 4,40O
While Colonel Stewart has a plurality of
4,170 votes over his highest competitor
yet the combined vote of the opposition
was 23O votes against him. 1t is claimed
however by democrats in that district, if
Mr.. Davis had not been a candidate the
most of the votes cast for him would have
been thrown to Colonel Stewart.

The st. Louis Republic loses its temper
and hits Governor Hill blows more vigor-
GUS than deserved perhaps. It says;
"Our New York contemporaries may make
as much of David B, Hill as they please.
He belongs to them and to their politics
xclusiveIy. He is an ignorant, con-
scienoeless, traitorous demagogue-the
Blaine of the democratic party in all save
ability to cast anchor to windward. He
will never be the nominee of the demo-
cratic party either for president or vice
president. For 1892 the democratic can
didate for president will be from the west,
and the presidential candidate either
from New Jersey or Conneticut-unless
New York finds better man than Hill"

The oil regions of Pennsylvania and
the mineral regions of East Tennessee
and North Alabama are now the richest
and most prosperous sections of those
states, and yet it has been only. few
years since they were regarded as poor
and upproductiye. THE STATESMAN be-
lieves in the near future that the counties
of Burnett, Llano, Mason, and others i'm.
mediately northwest of Austin will be a
hive of industrial and material prosperity
and rapidly increasing wealth. The same
may also be said of the mineral and tim
Der regions of East Texas, which are now
attracting attention, and in a few years
will be as rich and prosperous as any por-
10 of the state.

OF ALL the distinguished names men
toned for cabinet positions under General
Harrison's administration none are more
certain of recognition than Mr.. Blaine for
