BLIND TO THE BEAM.

The Atlanta Constitution acquits itself with
credit by saying that if the state of Arkansas
will arrest and hang the murderers of John M.
CLAYTON it will do more to encourage immigra-
ton than the circulation of thousands of pamph-
lets would accomplish. This, coming from
Georgia Democratic paper, is worthy of more
than casual notice. 1t is a little thing to say,
viewed solely from the Northern standpoint, for
almost every Northern would feel that the
imperative duty of the people of Arkansas is to
punish these criminals as speedily as possible.
But in the South preiudices run nigh and strong,
and men do not have that indignation against
pc itical outrage perpetrated upon one op-
posed to them which is characteristicHof
many of the people of the North. 1t is not
probable that very vigorous and persistent eff
fort will be made to arrest the murderers of Clay
ton. 1t is not like an ordinary murder. The
perpetrator of an ordinary murder might find it
as difficult to escape justice in the South as in
the North But crime committed in the con-
summation of some political scheme in which the
victim is a Republican, is not likely to arouse
the people to great sense Of the importance of
furnishing the offenders. In parts of the state re-
moved to a great distance from the scene Of the
crime it may be otherwise, but in the vicinity OF
the place where the murder was committed, it is
not impro bable that disposition 10 wink at the
offense will be developed.-[De Denver Republican.
Southern newspapers believe that the
detection and punishment Of Clayton IS
assassin will benefit the South because
that crime is paraded as evidence that
political intolerance obtains in the South.
Southern newspapers uphold the law and
political freedom, and they realize how
hurtful to the South have been the mis-
representations of the Northern Republic
can press, and therefore, they see the
necessity of detecting and Furnishing this
criminal.
But the Denver paper should remove
the beam from its own eye, that it may
see more clearly the mote that is in the
eve of its Southern brother. Dudley,
the wholesale briber of men, should be
viewed solely from the Southern stand
point, for almost every Southern man
would feel that the imperative duty of
the people of Indiana is to punish such
criminals as speedily as possible. But in
the North prejudices run high and strong,
and men do not have that indignation
against political bribery and cor
ruption which is characteristic of
the people of the South. 1t is not prob
able that very vigorous and persistent
effort win be made to punish the briber
Dudley. Bribery and corruption COM
mitted in the election of a Republican
president is not likely to arouse Northern
Republicans to a great sense of the i'm
portance of Furnishing the offenders. -
Murder is horrible crime, but in
bribery ana corruption of the ballot is
threat to freesgovernmerta and the great
est danger TO the republic. Why is the
editor of the Republican to-day pri-
vate citizen, and not senator from his
state at Washington city?

THE Mexican war veterans of Indiana
recently met at Indianapolis in annual
session of their state association. In its
report of the proceedings the Indianapolis
Journal says:
A number of veterans of the Union army arrived
in the city yesterday for the purpose OF organic
ing new army society to commemorate the
valor, the hardship and the glory of the famous
campaign around Vicksburg, The name of the new
organization win be 1.-The Society of vicksburg,''
but its membership VIII not be confined TO the
soldiers who participated on the Union side, as
the veterans who wore the gray viii be invited to
Join the boys that wore the blue. The formation
of such a society was first suggested
at the reunion of the Thirty-fourth and
One Hundredth Indiana regiments at
Portland last fall, and the present gath
ering for the purpose of organizing the associa-
ton is pursuant to resolution adopted at that
time Among the prominent veterans present
are Gen. R. A. Cameron of Denver, COL, who
entered the service as captain in the Ninth In
diana under Gen. Milroy, and afterwards became
northumberland OF the Nineteenth Indiana
under Gen. Sol Meredith. BE was then pro-

Du Maurier, the London caricaturist,
says that the greatest trouble he has
to contend with IN his sketches of society
is man s evening dress. The only origi-
nality that can be thrown into that dress
is the man, and it is hard to fad new
types of him continually.
Undoubtedly the greatest leader of
fashion in woman IS apparel at the pres

vented the thirty-two button glove, the
empire dress, directoire sash and the re-
vival OF the long boa, dear to the hearts
of our grandmothers. She has set the
fashion for Theodore hairpins and Tosca
hats, and has, in fact, welded an infiu-

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND will continue to
receive salary of $50 900 year after
he retires from the presidential office.
With the exception of Gen. Harrison, the
Republican presidents were rated to be
worth from $500 to $4,000 in private life.
1t is to be understood, of course, that the
minimum sum applies to an Ohio man.
The president-elect has been earning an
income of S25, 900 as counsel for rail-
road corporation. The Republican press
has had good deal to say about the size

The discussion in the recent conference
of publishers of daily newspapers as TO
the relative value of editors AID business
managers in achieving success was rather
whimsical.
There is no clearer case of inter-
dependence than is furnished in the re-
lations of the editor 3 room and the
counting room in newspaper office. No
business manager has ever yet been
found who could circulate in large num-
bers for any great length Of time news
paper which the public did not want.
Some welI-edited journals have not
been able TO get beyond the distribution
tables for lack of proper management.
And yet there are instances OF the people
taking the pains to get, at much incon-
Yenience, and thus TO make successful,
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-02-25


publications devoted TO their interest or
edited with thorough knowledge Of
their wants. But if the best newspaper
viii not distribute itself, neither can a
newspaper be widely circulated that has
nothing in it. -
The discussion between Editor Wat
terson and Publisher Brown as 60
the relative Importance of their
respective spheres was very much
like n debate between the head
and the legs of a man as TO their COM
parative value, or discussion between
the brains and the heart as to their re-
spective functions The ideal condition
for success in newspaper would seem to
be when both departments upstairs
and downstairs are assured of
harmony by being under one and the
same inspiration and direction. The
brain upstairs should guide and direct a
newspaper, and the financial heart down
stairs should pump up the circulation.

THE physicians of Pennsylvania are
pushing a movement to secure more
stringent regulations from the legislature
to govern the granting of medical
licenses. OF the same nature is the bill
pending in the Texas legislature to regu-
late the pharmacy business. While the
question of regulation is so prominently
before the public the question of health
should not be. overlooked. 1t is of more
Importance to the average man that he

chances to fail iii than that his expense
bill should be lessened by a few cents or,

OUR friends at Dallas are mistaken in
one thing: It is not a question whether
Fort Worth OF Dallas shall build a rail-

capitalists who do not wish to place their

know nothing OF railroad management,
Fort Worth will secure the Fort Worth
and Albuquerque, no matter whether
Dallas build one road or fifty. This is
official.

A State Matter.

A HSubscriber' asks the Record the
best way to stop the lynching and muir
dering of eolored people in the South, -
and suggests that the incoming president
should put an end to this lawlessness.
The best way to check crime in the South
as well as in the North is TO vigorously
enforce the laws for the punishment Of
criminals. But with this the president
of the United States has nothing to do;
nor can laws be passed to enable him TO
interfere with the administration of Grim
inal Justice in the several states. This
is matter that belongs to the states
themselves, and it is deplorable that in
some of the states it is so much neg
lected Mr.. Harrison will have no more
power to suppress lynching in Alabama
than he will have to suppress the white
cap ruffians in Indiana and Ohio.

The Texas railroad commission. under
the proposed law, will cost the state from
$50 900 to $50 900 year in salaries and
incidental expenses, and there will not be
a poor man from Red river to the gulf or
from the Sabine to the Rio Grande who
will be one dollar better OFF at the end of
any year than he would have been
without the commission. Such a
law would be vexatious to the railroads,
because it proposes to authorize
outsiders to NEEDLE with their business.
1t might help few towns, such as GAL
weston, for example, where it is said
prayers ascend nightly to the God Of
Mammon in favor of the ''short haul, -
in the hope that the commerce Of
Texas may be forced TO seek an

and the Iighterage dues, instead of
going through freer and deeper ports to

AT WHIST.


Across the polished table,
A charming sight,to see,
One night sat winsome babel
Applying whist with me,
And, threatening my survival,
Against us plotting, played
My dark and dangerous rival,
And one. wary maid.
How boding was the quietl
How flashed the jeweied rings!
How trumping knaves made riot
With naughty queens and kings.
The games-what fate was peBdingi-
With veering ups and downs
Ran on with their unending
Exchange of smiles and frowns.
But when the clock clear dial
Proclaimed the evening close
We from the ardent trial
Victoriously rose.
And as we left the table
Mine was the greater glee;
The game I'D won was Mabel,
For hearts was trumps, You see!
