STICK TO THE TEXT.

If THE GAZETTE comprehends the pur-
pose of the convention to meet at Dallas
next Monday it is to discuss and seek a
remedy for wrongs in freight charges
within the state of Texas. If this be
the purpose of the convention, the gen.
tlemen who compose that body should
not be diverted from the specific duty de-
volved upon them as members of the con-
vention. The people of this state do not
assume, as we understand the complaint,
to discuss Interstate rates but freight
charges on goods transported from one
point to another within Texas. Any oh
scuration of the main question by Incl
dental discussions would be unfortunate
If the Inter- State commission and its eff
fects on trade must be discussed, it should
be, as far as possible, as a separate prop
osition. The main question to be settled
is whether Texas railroads deal
fairly and justly with Texas in the mat
ter of freight rates between Texas points;
and if they do not the next question is
the remedy for discrimination and in
justice.
These questions settled, it is for the
convention to say whether it will inquire
INTO the ability and willingness of Texas
roads to make rates to induce people to
leave Texas while unable or unwilling to
secure rates that will induce people to
come to Texas. And it will also be for
the convention to say whether it will dis
cuss the influence of the interstate COM
on Texas trade.
But whatever it does, the convention
should stick to its text.

works and rolling mill have been made

The fire department of New York city
is expecting much from a new fireboat
which is to be built for it. According TO
the plans that have been published, the
craft will be built of steel, viii have
speed of twenty miles an hour, and, If it
attacks fire in building within four
hundred feet of the water 'front.' will
! throw steady stream of four inches IN
diameter. Besides this, the new fireboat
is to be equipped with travelling fire
screens, so constructed that the vessel,
having been brought close to the blazing
wharf, where she can lie with impunity
on account of the nOn-combustible ma
terial out of which she Is built. her crew
can safely lodge themselves behind them
and play streams Of water upon the fire.
A curious discovery has just been made
at Yimoutiers, France, by peasant liv-
ing in the village of Cutesson. He was
digging in his field when the ground sud-
denly gave way, and he fell into hole
ten feet in depth. The peasant had ae-
cidentally lighted upon a subterranean
chamber, the existence of which was not
even suspected by the country people.
On examination a number of human
bones partially petrified were found in an
adjoining vault constructed in the form
of a circle. The bones are of exception
ally large dimensions, and appear to
have belonged to race of gigantic stat
ure and great breadth of frame In
fact, the persons who have studied the
case on the spot are OF the opinion that
the bodies must have been inferred in
this burial place at very remote period.
Ushers IN many of the most prominent
theaters in New York have a new and
clever device for yictimizing theater-
goers. If they hold coupons for partieu-
larly desirable seats the usher on going
down the aisle will ssub-
stitute coupons for inferior chairs
frequently without the knowledge
of the purchaser. If people are not al
ready occupying the stolen seats they are
waiting in the lobby, and when the en-
ploye receives his consideration are
promptly seated This practice is spread |
ing, but occasionally one of the forward |
fellows is caught in the act, turn of af- |
fairs which does not worry the offenders |
in the least. The fees which ushers re-
ceive in this manner and for selling IN /
purchased seats are enormous. In one /
Of the smallest houses in town at which
strong attraction was running during the
past season one young man made from
$40 to $40 per night.

most impossible to convict any man who
has means of any crime of which he may
be guilty. Nay, more. 1t has become
almost impossible to bring him to trial.
In the South there is one thing held
dearer than human life. tits the chas-
tity of woman. The shotgun is regarded
as legitimate punishment for the sedueer,
and as long as blood and not water
flows in Southern veins so long
it will be so regarded. Had
Dawson been satisfied that Mellow had
violated the chastity of the little French
maid, whose protector Dawson was, and
had he killed Mellow it would have re-
quired no negro jury to acquit him. The
plauditsof the people had been his.
In the North there is but one thing held
cheaper than human life. 1t is the ehas-
tity of woman. The lumber districts of
Michigan and Wisconsin are a stencil in
the nostril of the continent, and the
columns of the daily papers reek with
the filth of those VINO glory in the adver-
tisement of their shame. The verdict Of
II jury told in dollars is salve for out
ragged virtue, and the jingling of the
guinea cures the hurt that honor feels.
Such things have never been possible in
the South.
God grant they may never be.

The Fight and the Law.
New York Herald.

The most noteworthy aspect of the COM
ing prize night between Sullivan and Kill
rain is the openness and publicity with
which ali the arrangements are carried
on and every movement announced.
The place Of the contest is pretty
clearly designated and the time pro-
claimed. The running of excursion
trains to the battle ground is advertised.
with the announcement that everybody
willing to pay the price of ticket is
welcome. Invitations to be present have
even been sent TO many distinguished in
dividuals, included such public officials
as Governor Hill and Mayor Grant.
Each Of the principals goes South on
crowded special train with as much pomp
as delegation of politicians bound for a
national conyen ton
In short, the whole affair is managed
as if the fight was an exhibition favored
by the law and Endorsed by popular SEN
timent.

The oomte de Paris, head of the Bour-
bon family, who recently celebrated his
silver wedding, is worker. He rises at

He has little breakfast with his family
at o clock, then he returns to his work.
Florence Nightingale is sixty years of
age and an invalid, but she has written
letter of sympathy for the Johnstown
sufferers with her own hand. She sell
dom leaves her house nowadays, but she
keeps up lively interest in all that is
going on, and she attends to an enormous
correspondence from all parts of the
world.
Mrs Bloomfield Moore of Philadelphia,
who makes her home in London, is one
of the weaIthiest American widows.
She is about sixty years of age, of little
more than average height, and inclined
to plumpness. Her hair is snow white
and rolled high up from her forehead.
Mrs. Moore has written one or two
books, besides pamphlets and magazine
articles, the latter two advocating the
Keely motor, in which she is a firm
believer and large stakeholder.
Gen. w. S. Rosecrans has peculiar
onesided expression of face which has
history to it. Few people know that
Gen. Rosecrans was the first man who
ever refined petroleum. He expert
mented with it forty years ago. People
said he was a fool, but he went on with
his experiments. Presently, as though
to prove what they said, his petroleum
blew up and burned his face in serious
way. He has suffered from that injury
ever since.
Four years ago Alfred s. Kidder,
twenty-six years old, was a law student
at Portland, Ore, and was universally
liked. He was bright and industrious,
and bid fair to succeed. One day he got
news that he had fallen heir to $50 900.
He disappeared from Portland, and moth
ing was heard from him till the other
day. when the news came that he had
blown his brains out in Richmond, Va.
He had $500 left of the $50 900 that morn
ing, and soon lost it in a game of poker.
An hour afterward he killed himself.
The whole of his fortune had gone in much
the same way that the last $500 went

old war horses OF the Illinois Democracy,

as Boscobel, just out of Quincy, and

LEADING Southern papers are discussing cot
ton-feld labor, and claim that 30 per cent of the
cotton in South Carolina is raised by white
labor, much larger per cent. in Mississippi
and Georgia, and it is safe to say that when
Arkansas and Texas are included with their le
gion of white workers, about half of our cotton
crop is raised by white labor. 1t is only in the
low bottom lands of the Lower Mississippi valley
that colored labor seems to be a necessity

The Post need not have qualified its statement.
The negro is not necessity anywhere. Mem
phis Avalanche.
The Avalanche states the truth tersely:
the negro is not a necessity anywhere in
the South. The smaller the percentage
of negros in any given population the
greater the progress. North Texas
has white labor, and North Texas
grows; the Senegambian district Ian
guishes. The presence of negroes in
large numbers is a curse to the white
man of Mississippi, South Carolina and
Louisiana, and Texas will be the gamer
for every negro that migrates to Mexico

The South win Do 1t.
New York Herald.

Mr.. Henry Wattersou, the Kentucky
thoroughbred, wants to know what the
difference is between the Old South and
the New South.
That Is a very easy conundrum to
guess. The Old South had a notion that
the Yankee IS love of gold and his will
lingness to work for it were the charac-
teTisties of q rather vulgar mind.
The New South has suddenly found
lot of iron and coal mines on its estates
become excited, peeled off its swallow
tail coat, rolled up its sleeves and taken
a great big oath that it will get more
money than the Yankee ever dreamed of
or know the reason why.

Incapable as Juror or Voter.
PHILADELPHIA Recon

flECOIU.
The seven black jurors who were put in
the box in Charleston, s. c., to try
murderer Mellow for killing Capt Daw-
son had great opportunity for vindicat-
ing the capacity of their race for the du-
ties of citizenship. But they missed it.
The fact that the leopard cannot change
his spot has never been disputed, and the
other half of the aphorism has been dis
puted to little purpose. Neither at the
ballot-box nor IN the jury-box is the col
ored brother able to rise above the level
of his prejudices and prepossessions. 1t
may be years before such another chance
shall be offered to show that in a mixed
jury of black and whites justice might
find refuge in the hearts of one race
which was denied to it by the other.

THE new ballot law proposed in New
Hampshire applies to elections held for
the choice of presidential electors, rep
resentatives in congress, governor. coun-
cilors, senators, county officers, repre-
sentatives to the general court and SUI
perYisors of the check list. After pass
ing through the guard rail, the voter is
given ballot of each kind by one of the
seleetmen, who indorses his name on the
back. Proceeding to a compartment,
the voter marks his ballot by putting an
X opposite the name of each candidate
for whom he wishes to vote. In going
out, as he passes by the table of the
moderator, he hands the ballot to him,
by whom it is deposited without examina-
ton. Each voter is allowed three min
utes in which to prepare his ballot.

ACCORDING to the register of the Ma
tional collegiate alumni, the education
OF females is slight bar to their getting
married. Whether their intellectual
training make them less sought after or
less anxious to be sought, deponent would
not care to take the responsibility of
averring. but there is the cold, hard fact:
Educated women, sweet girl graduates,
do not get married so much as the ordi-
nary Psoyehe-pug, tailor-made, rattle
headed, common-sense, practical. level
headed, uneduoated girls do. Perhaps
it is because the cultured girl is too good
for anything or anybody in this homely,
common place, workaday world, where
it is not all prunes and prisms.

Deep Water Prospects.
Waco Day.

The Day has received a copy Of hand
somely printed forty-page pamphlet is
sued by the ''Brazos river channel and
dock company, - showing the work done
and TO be done at the mouth of the
BrazOs to secure deep water. From the
views and plans presented in the book we
gather that the work will consist Of two
parallel jetties built out from the shore
line on either bank of the river where it
empties into the Gulf, with clear width
of 500 feet between them, and to extend
5400 feet or nearly a mile into the Gulf
reaching point where there is a con-
slant depth of twenty feet The
projectors of the enterprise speak very
confidently of its final success, and it
seems to us there is but one difficulty in
the way, which is to make the jetty walls
solid enough TO resist the action of the
sea waves on the shifting sands of their
foundation. There is little doubt that
the river current, if securely confined
within the proposed artificial channel,
will soour out a depth of from twenty to
twenty five feet from deep water inside
the river to deep water outside in the
gulf and maintain it permanently. The
Day confidently expects to hear good re-
suits from the Brazos company, and we
believe that the same plan viii also be
adopted at the mouths of the Trinity and
the Sabine, with exually favorable re-
suits.
