TEXAS is worried by the big sur
plus which viii soon be in its treas
ury. The Lone Star State wouldn't
have any cause for anxiety if it would
pay its just debts. There are thosunds
of people with honest land claims
against the State who can get no sat
isfaction, because all State lands have
been given to the university or sold
to build an imposing statehouse.

ONE of the most Objectionable fea-
lures of John Sherman's candidacy
for president to southern Republicans
is the backing he has from such men
as the seallawags and carpet baggers,
Kellogg, Yarmouth, Pinchback and
Billy Malone. These men have all
been relegated to the back ground long
ago but they have not common decen-
cy enough about them to remain where
they belong, and are now shouting
aloud for John Sherman. Such follow
lngs as these are sufficient reasons to
better Republicans for nominating
some other man.

Hon. James IL. HaWley.

The Idaho Democrat to-day an
nounces the name of U. S. District
Attorney James H. Hawley as its
choice for delegate to congress, sub
ject of course, to the democratic terri
torial convention, fully believing that
he is the strongest man that can be
named for the nomination. that he
would carry the entire strength of the
party. and that he would be elected.
In doing this the Democrat also be.
lleves that it echos the sentiments of
the democracy of every county in the
territory. MIR. Hawley is lawyer of
integrity, superior ability, young, full
of energy, good organizer, and in
every way possessing the qualifications
necessary to make a gallant and sue
cessful political fight He is person
ally acquainted with the residents of
every town, neighborhood and mining
camp in Idaho, is well liked regard
less of politics, and is the only dem
ocrat that has the candor to publicly
say that he would like to be delegate
to congress as the choice of his party.
His desire is leginate, honorable,
laudable and manly expressed; and
there are no tenable grounds that we
are aware of in the way of his becom-
ing the standard-bearer and leading
his party to victory.-Democrat, 21st
THE naming of Attorney ]. II. Hav-
ley by the Democrat as its choice for
Delegate to Congress will meet with
a hearty endorsement from every nook
and corner of south Idaho. It is con-
coded by all Democrats, that in order
to win, the campaign must be one of
heroic activity, aggressive and of
such pluck as can, if necessary snatch
victory from defeat. Mr.. Hawley is
bold and aggressive, popular with all |
classes and of sufficient personal mag |
netism to hold all old friends and at |
tract new ones wherever he NAV 90.
The Democrats of the Territory are
tent on victory this year, and with the
proper leader victory will theirs. Mr..
daWley can lead the party to victory.

If the stories about ST. Joseph's
Children's Home in Chicago are not
exaggerated, we may look for an ex-
posture of cruelty to little ones that
viii equal the revelations of Shepherd
Cowley's conduct in New York. Most
of these institution will bear watching,
as many people who take charge of
them are more intent on making
money than on securing the health
and comfort of the children intrusted
to them. Shepherd Cowley spent one
year in prison for his atrocious treat
ment of little children, and we trust
that the manager of this Chicago in
stitution will receive an equally whole
some punishment, if it be clearly
proved that he has starved and ill
used his young war(ls.-Ex.
