| THE FRUIT or INDIFFERENCE.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat thinks
that THE GAZETTE errs in the conclusion,
drawn from the election returns, that
Texas is falling behind other Western
states in the ratio Of increase of popuIa-
ton. The Globe-Democrat says:
TIE GAZETTE is undoubtedly in error in its
reasoning, and the cause OF this error may read
liz be pointed out. 1t assumes that the volume
of the vote is at all times and in all places a fairly
accurate index OF population. If that journal
had attempted TO master the meaning of all the
figures in the article from which we quote it
would not have held this view very rigidly.
The increase in the vote in New Jer-
sey from 1884 to 1855, as THE GA
zette points out, was IS per cent, and that of
Massachusetts % per cent. Does any intelligent
person anywhere in this country imagine that
the old and thiczly settled states Of New Jersey
and Massachusetts grew in a ratio several times
greater than Texas in the past four years? The
fact is, the vote is not and cannot be an absolute
" trustworthy guide to population in the lower
tier OF Southern states, in which one party has,
fairly or unfairly, gained such preponderance
that there is no incentive for either party to put
forth its fun strength at the polls. The vote of
South Carolina was smaller IN 1858 than it was
in 1850, but no sane person supposes that its
population IS less now than it was eight years
ago.
If any comfort can be derived from this
statement of the case TIE GAZETTE is
loath to dissipate it. Were it disposed to
argue the question this paper might cite
the fact, well known to the people of
Texas, that the influences in favor of
fun vote in this state were much stronger
in 1883 than in 1884. There was virtually
no opposition in the latter election, either
to the local, state or national
Democratic candidates, while in the cam
paign just closed wherever a hope existed
by the combination of various diseordant
and discontented elements to defeat the
Democratic nominees, a vigorous contest
was waged.
It is unlikely that anyone will credit
this paper with q desire to disparage the
development of Texas. To assist in that
development has been its leading mission
from the date of its first issue. It's pres
ent object is to arouse the people of
Texas from lethargy which, alone,
stands in the way of immediate
and rapid growth, compared with which
all past development would seem trivial.
If the efforts put forth in California, in
Oregon, in Dakota and other sections of
the West and Northwest had been ex-
pended here, the state would, to-day,
have but one rival in the Union in
wealth, in population and IN political
power 1t is capable OF higher devel-
opment than any of the regions named,
Tito which food of capital
has been flowing while Texas has been
comparatively neglected. With millions
of acres Of fertile lands unfurrowed, with !

difference, at this time, what the facts were
which led up TO the killing; the result win be the
same. II viii be OF little consequence whether
or not the act was that of some drunken
fool or done in cod blood The
South, as a section, must suffer from it
It win &c especially unfortunate for Arkansas,
which has made such wonderful progress during
the past five years and which babe fair 10 out
strip all is sister states IN the race for fmnigra
zion. 1t viii not matter that the people of the
state tkan whom there are no truer or more
cEiyalrors anywhere, condemn the act. They
are sure to Re misFepzesented and maIigned as
people and IS state for the crime of an indi-
vidual.
Nevertheless. ali that can be should be done.
No effort should be spared TO arrest, convict and
punish the murderer, II indeed it was murder.
Mob law Is, Of course not 10 be counseled, but
the quicker rope IS adjusted about the neck Of
the murderer, tho better for the state and the
South. There should be as little red tape and as
mach hemp as possible.
The Little Rock Gazette IS raising
fund by private subscription to supple
ment the rewards already offered for the
apprehension Of the murderers, and says:
The public IS terribly in earnest in its de-
mands FOR summary punishment on the sssas-
sins. Before another week rolls round the re-
wards for their arrest and conviction viii reach
SO, 090. This VIII bring them to trial. Those
men are just as certain to be brought to justice,
and that speedily, as Gods sun shines from
heaven. They have mistaken the temper OF the
people OF Arkansas and the times IN which they
live. If the officers and the people OF Conway
county equal to the emergency they can re-
deem the county from this fearful visitation; bat
they can do so only By catching and hanging the
assassins. The public is waiting to hear from
Conway.
Rewards, private and public, legisla-
tive regrets, sympathy and denunciation
are all timely and commehdable, but
they are not enough; the assassins should
be caught and hanged 10y law; and when
that is done, if this bloody deed should
prove TO be the "natural development Of
corrupt politics - as is stated by the
Little Rock Gazette, then Arkansas must
either purify its politics or accept the
material and social consequences of
politics from which ensues a bIotch so
foul on civilization. Neither Republican
nor Democrat viii care to seek homes in
a state where the ultimate political de-
velopment is cowardly assassination.
This brutal murderer Of Arkansas has
committed a crime against the whole
South, and the South it is that demands
of Arkansas the detection, arrest and
punishment OF the cowardly assassin re-
gardless of the money it may cost.

OUR BOOK TABLE.

TWENTY EIGHT YEARS IN WALL STREET
BY Henry Clews; Irving Publishing Com
pany, New York.
There comes to the book table volume
that is unique in many respects, before
opening; the cover itself attracts atten-
tion-a coat of arms gilt on green, and
the design bull and bear rampant, the
shield between bearing this strange
device-a money bag marked with the
insignia of the mighty dollar. APP
pFOpriate, yes, and so is it that Henry
Clews should write of the doings Of the
greatest money centre on this Western
hemisphere. The authors avowed pur-
pose is TO give to the mystitied public an
insight into the dealings i'll Wall street
since 1857, a date that brings to memory
one of the terrible panics that swept this
country, and to show the causes that
led to it. The book is profusely
illustrated, and portraits given of men
distinguished in financial circles, with
concise narration of the salient points in
their history. Mr.. Clews intimate con-
nection with some of the greatest none
tary transactions of the past quarter of a
century and his close fellowship with the
parties interested, together with his
marked success, all tend to fit him pre-
eminently for the work he undertook
and the result must be as gratifying to
himself as it is satisfactory to his read
ers. The work in its entirety viii be
found to be one of the most valuable
contributions that have been made to the
financial literature of this country.

THE CITY PREACHER.


He talked about science and dogma,
Evolution and thinking, too;
But naugfit said he of Jesus the Savior
Who died both for me and for you.
He spoke of the poor in the cities,
And earnestly begged for them bread;
But naught said he about the poor widow,
Who next door of starvation was dead.
He sternly rebuked politicians,
Whose efforts toward wealth were all bent,
But naught said he of these of his hearers,
Who sold out the needy Tor rent.
The rum-seller too; how he scored him!
And cried ont for vengeance divine;
But naught said he TO those OF his members,
Whose cellars were filled with rare wine
He touchingly prayed for the heather,
Who worShipped the idols of old;
But naught said he 70 his congregation,
Concerning their worship OF Gold.
He feryertly prayed for his brethren,
Who stood in the pulpit 70 tell
OF Jesus the meek and the Iowly
Who died to save sinners from he'll.
He prayed for the fathers and mothers,
And asked for them blessings and health,
He invoked a rich blessing on others
But failed to ask one for himself.

MANS LIFE Is LIKE THE LEAF.

Now dropping silent, ceaseless, feet,
In open field, i'll busy street,
They form, light driven TO and fro,
A carpet Tustling under tread.
Faint glowing still, their beauty fled,
Till crisp and withered, broken, dead,
Their glory lieth low.
Lo, as the countless leaves that fade
The countless race of men are made:
Like leaves they spring to sudden birth
Upon life's tree; little day
They grow, and come to rich array
Or bright success, peTchance; away
They soon are borne to earth.
Spring covers, autumn strips the trees;
So century after century sees
Man S generations bloom and fade.
Each leaf its heeting season knows:
Though brave the splendor that it shows,
Deaths chilling blast renlOrseless blows;
Withered in dust tbs laid.
But dieth man as dies the leaf:
Cometh his seasons, all too brief,
TO hopeless nothingness and dust.
Nay, only ashes find the grave;
The spirit endless life shall have
Through faith in me who came to save, -
Saith Christ in whom we trust.

Twas a summer ago when he left me here
A summer of smiles with never tear,
TILL said to him, with sob, my dear
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye!
For loved him, Oh, as the stars love night!
And my cheeks for him flashed red and white
When first he called me his heart s delight
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye!
The touch of his hand was thing divine
as he sat with me in the soft moonshine
And drank OF my love as men drink wine
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye!
And never a night as I knelt in prayer,
IN gown as white as our own souls were,
But in fancy he came and kissed me there
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye!
But now, 0 God! what an empty place
My whole heart is! OF the old embrace
And the kiss 1 loved there lives no trace
Goodbye, my lover, goodbye!
He sailed not over the stormy sea;
And he went not down in the waves-not he
But oh, he is lost-for he married me
Goodbye, my lover, good byei

ly political purposes, gravely dealing
with that question in which the two races
are vitality interested, ''Shal mnjorities

tracts from this exceedingly temperate
and impartial article wherein the writer
clearly shows and firmly maintains that
it is at the bar of public opinion at last
that this question must be finally tried
and adjudged.
