Mr.. D. r. FAINT OF Goliad, one of the
most extensive stockgrowers in the state,
was in Fort Worth Saturday, and in
conversation with GAZETTE man stated
that cattle were in pretty fair condition
in his part of the state and were improv-
ing rapidly. The continuous rains during
the winter, however, had rotted the grass,
which caused cattle to be thinner than
they otherwise would have been.
Mr.. FAINT is strongly opposed to inspec-
ton and says that all the cattlemen in
his portion OF the state are also opposed
to it, claiming that it would materially
effect the Texas cattle business which he
claims was bad enough now.
Referring to the effects of the passage
of the Oklahoma bin on the business in
this state, he said it would be bad.
''There are comparatively very few cat
tie in the Territory now, - he said, t'and
if this bin is passed the cattlemen will
want none. They will get what they
have in condition for market, sell them,
and then quit the business These cat
tlemen in the Territory have been big
buyers of Texas cattle and if this market
is shut down of course Texas cattlemen
will suffer. About that cattle commits

THE FUTURE POPE.

He Will Probably BE Cardinal Parocchi, the
Present Vicar General Of the Vatican.
London Daily News
The frequent attacks of illness to which
the Pope is now subject have given rise in
Rome to many conjectures as to the future
Pontiff. A correspondent of the Roma, who
appears to be we'll informed, has written
two articles in which. after eliminating
some eminent cardinals as impossible. he
shows why it is probable that Cardinal
Maria Parocchi. the vicar-general, man of
iron will and clear aims, and comparatively
young, having been born in 1888, is likely
to become the successor of Pope Leo XIII.
AS simple Bishop of Mantua he boldly es-
poused the Jesuit cause during the struggle
between that body and the liberal LON bard
clergy. When the mild Archbishop of Milan
was opposing the priests of the Osserv atore
Cattolico it was with the latter that Paroc-
chi sided with all his wonted energy. He
the latter post was little suited to the mil
liant prelate He was then nominated
Archbishop of Bologna, but TO this appoint
ment the Italian government objected. and
Parocchi resigned and went to Rome. There
he was received with open arms by the
Vatican, though not at first by the Pope,
who would not willingly accept the fiery
and restless archbishop.
When the celebrated change in the Pope's
opinions took place Parocchi's fortune was
made Leo XIII elected him to be his vicar
general. and gave him the most powerful
position next to his own. and the man who
could not be Archbishop of Bologna was
made Bishop of Rome. From that moment
the affairs of the Vatican were couf1ded

LUUISIANA'S BOGUS BONDS.
Evidence that State Treasurer Burke Knew Of
Their Existence Nearly Two Years Ago.

NEW ORLEANS. La, Sept. 24.-Ex-Cashier
Stoddart has produced copy of letter,
written by him Jan. 10, 1883, from Baton
Rouge, to State Treasurer Burke. in which
he stated that thirty coupons of the sup
posedly destroyed State bonds had been
presented for payment. The number of the
coupons were given in the letter. Mr.. Stod-
dart says that Major Burke telephoped him
next day from New Orleans: Have seen the
party. and have arranged" Mr.. Stoddart
showed the coupons to receiving clerk
Campbell. who resigned, being unwilling
to remain connected with the Treasurer's
Office in view of such irregularity. Major
St0ddart did not resign, as his term was
nearly out. If Mr.. Stcddart's statement is
accurate it indicates a knowledge of the
coupon matter on Major Burke's part, six
months before he retired from the Office of
treasurer.
Mr.. Stoddart also produces telegram
dated New Orleans. Aug. 81, 1856. signed
Cockerton, reading: COLLECTED $50 and
deposited it to the general account. Bal
Mr.. Stoddart explains this as follows:
COckerton was Major Burke's business
manager in New Orleans. Burke had gone
to Honduras, leaving with Stoddart sealed
package of coupons. telling him to send it
to COckerton whenever the Office needed
money. Stoddart forwarded the pack

face value was $2.254. The numbers cor

lent coupons recently published. Stoddart
says he sent the rejected coupons over to
Burke. That was tho last he heard of them.

TESTING AN ELECTION LAW.
The Right Of State to Disfranchise Electors to
Be Questioned in Two Courts.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Sept. 24.-The last
Legislature of this State passed two laws
to regulate elections, the first known as the
registration law, and the second as the Dortch
bill. The registration law applies to cities
of certain size, includes Memphis. Nash
vile, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. and only
two counties-Shelby and Davidson. The
Dortch bill prescribes method similar to
the Australian plan. the voters being re-

here to-day challenging the constitution

and the Chancery Court of the State. The

negroes. who make their mark. and who
claim that they cannot read. and would.
therefore. be disfranchised by the action of

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-This mornings
Post had another caustic editorial from the
pen of ex-Postmaster-gen Frank Hat
ton, on civil-service reform. 10 followed
the same general line of previous emana-
tions, charging Commissioner Lyman with
appointing and promoting brother-in-law
to place under the commission, while he
Uyman) was the only commissioner. and
doing 1T without an examination. 1t also
intlmated that the commission was in
the habit of violating both the letter and
appointments. The article was very
cleverly written. and. like others on
the same subject, attracted much
attention. Commissioner Roosevelt. who
has just returned from a vacation on
his ranch in North Dakota and cunning
expedition i'm Montana, was severely dag
ellated in the article.
Commenting on these criticisms this aft
ernoon Mr.. Roosevelt said: They come
from three classes of men; Those who can
not get Office. and probably could not any
how. comfort themselves by attacking
civil-service reform. Those whose political
power depends upon nothing. but their
capacity I0r peuuung pOutical patronage

is composed of dull people. deluded by the
other two"
do you think there is any danger of
repeal of the lawf"
mo, for if nothing else stood in the way,
the Presidents veto would prevent this.
The President would certainly veto any
act repeating the law. and by no possibility
could the opposition get strength to pass it
MAY Congress not fail to make an ap-
propriationf"
81 have too much faith in the majority
of the members of Congress to believe that
such thing will happen. The Republican
party is strongly in favor of the law, and

su.pportp
/ cannot speak for she Democratic party at
all. The repeal of the law or failure TO
appropriate for its enforcement twice the
amount of money nov appropriated would
be an immense evil for any Congressman.
To attack civil-service reform would be an
evil act for Republican. To do so would
be party treachery-a base breach of faith" !"
