July-for you the songs are sung
BY BIRDS the lcafy trees among;
With merry cQrolings they wake
The meadows at the mornings break,
And through the day the lisp.ng breeze
Is woven with their tree.top glees.
For you the prattling, pebbly brooks
Arc full OF tales like story-books.
For you fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom-urns
Which tempt the bees to hasten home
With honey for thelr honey.comb.
The river, like n lookins-slass,
Reflects the tieecy clouds that pass,
Until it makes US almost doubt
If earth and sky aren't changed about.
July-for you, in silonce deep
The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on one glorious holiday.
When all our books We put away
And every little maid and man

How Blaine Puts 1t.

Evidence seems to accumulate that
the breach between President Harrison
and Mr.. Blaine is widening. The latter
has recommended quite number of ap-
pointments which the former has passed
by unnoticed. The other day some one
asked Mr.. Blaine why he permitted him
self to be thus ignored, and he is said to
have replied by telling a story. He
hkened himself TO a man who had re-
ceived from an author ticket to see
the first performance of fthe play. The
audience grumbled at the first act
Kissed the second, anaszat the end
of the third act proposed to mob the
actors. The man with the free ticket
was quiet. His next sne1ghbor was
amazed, and at the end ofthe third act
asked him: f'Look heEe; nv friend.

The Immigration Bureau.

AUSTIN, Tex, July l, 1889.
To All Whom These Presents May Concern.
Notice is hereby given that the Office
of the State immigration bureau of Texas
has been closed. The office force has been
discharged and all inquiries as to Texas,
both for information and literature, will
have to pass unattended to for want of
stationery and postage stamps. The
state has furnished no means for subslst-
ence of Office since July last(a year ago.
The thirty-one senatorial districts fell
short Sl3 900 in making good the small
appropriation for last year. The Office
was kept going the balance of the year
believing that that deficit would be made
good, not dollar of which was ever paid
in. Then the office was kept running
based upon what it was thought the peo-
pie of the state would surely do by the
first OF 1889, and when nothing was done
the office was still kept running, based
upon assertions that the legislature
would certainly do sOmething-unconsti-
tutiOual or otherwise to sustain it. Since
then it has been kept up through sheer
determination on the part of the secre-
tary, that the flag of Texas which was
raised with such shout by her most
invincible citizens should not so soon go
down in darkness and defeat, and
because there never was a time when
the business and work of the bureau
was so slack as to permit of the con-
viction-that failure and bankruptcy
must come.
In response to the call for funds for
this years work, only three out of the
200 organized counties of the state re-
sponded. Brown, Bee and Webb alone
sending their $50 each. Said $50 being
all the money received to support the
bureau during the past six months of
this year.
With many regrets for the apathy
expressed both by the people and our
great state, and their evident want of
sympathy and interest in this great
movement. 1 remain as ever for Texas,
yours hopefully, F. B. Chiffon.

warm for any man who enters the race
against him for state treasurer.
Tyler Record: The keynote to the next

mission amendment This is both a pre-
diction and a threat.
Palestine Advocate: Some of the
Texas papers seem to favor an entire new
deal for state officers next year, but ap-
pear to be in doubt as to where the ma
terial can be obtained. But we can see no
difficulty on that point, for according to
some of the Tyler papers there are enough
statesmen in that little city to fill all the
state offices and have enough left to start
one or two of the territories in business
Then there's Palentine-ho we
will wait till Tyler fails to respond, then

Bolton Journal: 1t is being whispered
around that Mr.. Throokmorton will be
candidate for governoF next year. They
go in droves who think he ought to be
put back in the place from which he was
ousted by the so-called reconstruction
measures of the Federal government.
Alvarado Bulletin: Some of the papers
are getting considerably excited over the
gubernatorial election of next year.
They should remember that it is a long
time from now until November 1890, and
many changes win occur before that
time. Tt is doubtful if there is a man in
Texas who can stand so long race. Our
neighbors must not forget that the unex-.
pected is continually happening, and that
the stables of Texas are full of dark
horses.
Rockwan Success: The genial Barney
Gibbs is completely out of politics in
Texas. We can simply hint, however,
to his political enemies-and they are le-
gienzto take notice shat Barney is not
out OF the way for all time, but for a
short while only. Just now he Is engaged

TOURGEE RAVIyG AGAIN,

Albion W. Tourgee in his d" Bystand-
er's Notes - in the Chicago Inter Ocean
has been furnishing the country the
toughest rot printed in any newspaper il
the country for years. But in last Sat
urday S issue he fairly outdid himself
and fairly slobbered over some two
columns of space. He wrote on the sub
| iect of ex-soldiers and their pensions
and snuffed and whined about the alleged
| indignities east upon men who had served
their country in blue uniforms Because
| there are people in the country who do
not want to see every hummer, bounty
| jumper, sutler and camp follower who
may choose to apply for pension foisted
upon the taxpayers for support, and be-
cause those people have the courage to
say what they mean, Judge Tourgee
profes ses to believe that they are casting
slurs at the soldier and trying to de-
pTive him of his merited support
Judge Tourgee wilIfuny misunder-
stands the position of those who oppose
this promiscuous pensioning. There are,
even in the South, few people who are
not willing for every man who bore arms
in the Union army and who was manned
or crippled, or had his constitution un-
dermined, to be placed upon the pension
list and paid a reasonable amount to aid
in his support. But no man not a pro-
fessional bowler or wnIful per-
verter of facts, such as Judge
Tourgee, thinks that the people of this
country ought to be taxed for the sup
port of every hummer who is too lazy to
work, and to whose aid perjury comes
when he wants to prove how he lost
his health or one of his limbs in the SER
vice of his country.
The South, filled with manned and
wounded veterans of her own, uncom-
plaTningly pays her portion of the tax
that goes to pensioning of the deserving
soldiers of the North Her people look
upon it as a just punishment laid upon
them for the crime of failure, and they
submit without murmur. But when it
comes to pensioning a lot of beggars who
never smeIled powder except that IN fire
crackers they protest, as do all honest
men. When the people who oppose the
pension grab speak of ''bummers they
do not mean soldiers, and Judge Tourgee
should not be moved to such quick re-
sentiment.
Judge Tourgee thinks, also, that he
has been called a "'crank - Nay,
verify. He named himself when he |

to region where labor is degraded. To North
ern man the bitterness OF the prejudice with
which Southern people regard black man,
simply because he Is black, seems a form OF
madness Il is wholly divorced from both jus
tice and common sense. The right way for the
Southern people to settle the negro problem is to
begin to treat black men as if they were human
beings and TO try TO uplift and improve them,

delphia Manufacturer
What utter Stiffness is the above. from
beginning to end. Withdraw negro labor
from the South this year and the cotton
crop would not be affected 80 per cent
next year, and the year after the crop
would be as large, if not larger than ever
before.
In the first place, the Manufactur er
is mistaken in its estimate of the
white people OF the South. They
are not the indolent, shiftIess,
overbearlng people that readers of worth
less newspapers would be led to believe
Whatever they may have been in the
days Of slavery, they are now full of
energy, of enterprise and of industry.
The workingman is not looked upon
with disdain, as the Manufacturer indi-
Gates. No matter what mans trade
or business, II he be honest, he will have
the respect of his neighbors.
In the second place, the Manufacturer
is mistaken in its estimate of the negro
character and the part that the
negro is playing IN the industrial
South. AS a class, the negro is
lazy, improvident and careless. His
work is much greater in promise than in
fulfllment, as many field of cotton,
plowed and planted, but uncultiyated,
bears witness.
Texas is the finest cotton producing
state IL the Union, and it is safe to say
that full two-thirds of the cotton raised
here is planted, worked and picked by
white labor. The people OF Texas
have learned that they do much
better not to depend on the negro
for anything and they are profiting by
the lesson. The sooner the white people
of other states learn the same lesson and
profit by it the better for them If there
should be any very considerable exodus
of negroes the lesson would be quickly
learned and from necessity would spring
an expediencY which would tide them
over any temporary embarrassment.
The Southern people feel a RESPONSE
bility for the negro. They are willing
to bear with his shortcomings, to
do what they can to elevate his
understanding and ameliorate his condi-
ton, but 1t is not because they need

A GOOD many people rush around the
country nourishing their arms and loudly
discussing things they know nothing
about. Just now it is fashionable for
Republicans to advocate law allowing a
pension to every man who served in the
army OF navy of the Union during the
late war. Corporal Tanner, having
amended and re-enacted his views on this
subject, now says:
For years have advocated, on the stump
and at Grand Army camp-fres, the passage by
congress of a service pension bill, giving every
soldier and sailor pension. am thoroughly
committed TO this policy and don't see how l
can go back on it, though now that I have be-
come pension commissioner and have looked the
thing up find the service pension bill would
bankrupt the treasury. Ia rather resign than

vice pension bin. and if as pension commissioner
recommend that bill to congress IN make NY
self ridiculous. How am to get out Of it?''
