THEY Moonlight and Ross were
both made governors of territories I'M
der Cleveland, and were both made
poor and unfit, or ineligible for any
thing else that is considered honorable
or lucrative by it. Had both devoted
their talents to some private business
insteadof taking to politics and chasing
Offices, they would no doubt be now a
great deal better off.-Emporia News.

County sent F,ght.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 1.-THE long
looked for outbreak between the con-
tending political factions in Fort Bend
county, commenced at Richmond, the
county seat, last night about dark, and
sheriff, governor, eX-Sheriff Blakeney,
and four men and one woman, names
not learned. were killed, and many
badly wounded. A scene of indescrib-
able horror and excitement reigned in
the unhappy town of Richmond, from
which people were flying in every di-
rection to save their lives. Captain
Reinhart, commanding the Houston
Light Guards has just been instructed
toproceed with his company armed and
equipped, to the scene of the conflict,
on a special train. Governor Ross will
leave here for Richmond on the first
train. Troops at BRENNAN and other
points have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness. Captain Aten of
the Rangers, with four men is at Rich
mond. but is utterly powerless, and
has asked for military assistance. The
large number of the contending parties
and the great bitterness existing be-
tween the factions, may lead 10 most
direful consequences and hundreds be
killed if the trouble is not promptly
Quelled.

up as you would horse whose color,

big fellow in the political puddle, and
splutteTing about to attract attention
to himself. OF course there are plenty
like Coney. The aforesaid puddle
which is quite large is full of them.
They are fiunkies and toadies for gam,
an Office or something. They circulate
between the people and the big
fellows they pander to. They
are in some sort connecting links
between the masses and Office holders,
and work the former for the latter,
and expect their pay in something
nice. Coney overdid it and got tipped
from the puddle into the soup.

few weeks ago Mr.. Gray and Mr..
Austin started east with the intention
of taking passage for Europe Aug. 2
for the purpose of buying a number of
fine horses in France, England and
Scotland. In the east however they
found some very fine imported horses,
and after consultation with a. number
of the best horsemen in the east, they
were advised to purchase the
stock they wanted from the best inn
ported animals in this country and
wait until next spring to visit Europe.
Accordingly the horses were pusehased
nearer home than France, and viii
reach Emporia about Sept 18th. Mr..
Gray assured us that only the finest
grades of horses had been secured, and
that they would rank with any i'm
ported hoses in the United States.

Mr.. Gray, but went to New EnglOnd
on visit and will not start home until
some time in September.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug, IA few particu-
lars. of Richmond, Texas, last night
are to the effect that the larger part
of the people of Fort Bend county are
divided into two political factions
known as the ''jay-birdS" and the
ssWoodpeckers." The former is com
posed of whites who, are straight dem
Ocrats numbering about four hundred,
and the latter includes the negroes
and few white democrats, who are
said to have Joined them in order to
get into Office. The ''Woodpeckers are
in large majority. The trouble grew
directly out of the arrest of a ''jay-
bird who walked through town with a
Winchester rife on his shoulder
and although he did nothing else he
was arrested and put into jail.

LIBE RIA.

LIBERIA.
Not much has been heard lately about
negro emigration to Liberia, the place which
was once expected to go far toward solving
"the negro problem" of this country. But
Professor Henry A. Scomp of Emory college,
Georgia, has again called attention to the
matter. He says that from childhood he has
been watching the fortunes of Liberia and
thinks it is not too late to pour large rein
forcements of intelligent and industrious
American negroes into that country and
revive its failing fortunes. He says It is
clear that the negro's mind must be turned
toward Africa if the Liberian republic is to
be built up. The removal of nations across
the ocean is mighty task, even with all our
modern facilities. Yet regard ii as by no
means impossible. First Of all, the negro
must be convinced that 1t is in his interest
to emigrate thither. Then the best of the
race must be the pioneers of the movement,
for on the success of the first emigrants will
derond largely the future success of the
effort. The lazy and thriftless would send
back dolefu1 accounts from El Dorado and
Paradise even, were it possible, and SO dis
courage future emigration. I believe in
government aid to the enterprise, furnished
annually and under the striotsst limitations,
until the work shall be accomplished, or al
least shall reach an Independent footing
Many years must be required for the
task.
1t is doubtful if the South could spare ths
negro as well as some of the prominent mer
of that region seem to think. And 1t is moi
at all probable that the proposition to make
the removal of the negroes national matter
will 6nd much favor. If there are people II
the South who want to start an emigration
society nobody will hinder them.I

smaller amount of it to show for 1889 than
for the three previous years. The aggregate
is only about 5000 miles, or nearly two
thirds the diameter Of the earth, but the
roads built in 1886 would have gone clear
through the earth and Tapped over 40o
