Bishop katZer and the Bennett Law.

This law Bennett law is nothing
but blow aimed at the church, coming
from the Free Masons. Now, if were
to try to adduce proofs for this asser-
ton L might find it difficult. But, gen.
tlemen, and here sarcastic smile over
spread the features of the speaker.
there is certain thing which, in COM
mon parlance and in the language of
the law, is called circumstantial evil
dence. And, I think, that by using
that | will be able to furnish the de-
sired and necessary proof.
We often meet a child or person on
the street about whom we notice some
thing familiar. There is nose which
we know, mouth which we remember
pair Of eyes that looked at us from
some one else. We think and ponder.
and all at once we recognize the boy as
the child of such and such a family.
Now, gentlemen, take the -}ennett law.
There is something about it we know,
that we have met with elsewhere. 1t
is almost identical with laws of Illinois
and Massachusetts; it is similar to laws
which we find In Germany, France and
other countries. | do not want to for
get Belgium. The people there also
rose up against gag laws suggested by
the union of devils. Now, take all
these laws, and you will say that they
are children of one and the same
family. > Bishop Katzer's Mi1woukee
Speech.
Can Bishop Katzer, after giving this
opinion of Masons, stultify himself so
far as to support mason Of the high
standing of George W. Peck, the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor? Gov.
Hoard is Mason, but he lacks many
degrees of being as high in the order as
Mr.. Peck, who belongs to the Wiscon-
sin Consistory, 32d degree, the highest
degree that can be taken by Mason
in this state. AS has been suggested
by an exchange, to be consistent Bish-
op Aatzer must give his allegiance to
the Prohibition candidate for governor.

Mr.. Editor: ] am an old Democrat,
and have never voted anything but the
Democratic ticket, and what I want to
know is how I can vote this time for
that man Wells on the Democratic state
ticket. The papers say he is no better
than knownothing, and that he has
always been opposed to teaching Ger
man in the public schools. I read
some extracts from an address, or a
speech, or letter of his, in which he
spoke against the Germans and the
German language. Mr.. Editor, can
not and will not vote for such man.
I think will not vote at all, for / do
not like to see my party put up such
men for Office. But may be / will vote

Clinton Babbitt for Congress

The Democratic Congressional con-
vention at Turner Opera house last
Wednesday placed in nomination for
congressman against III. A. Cooper,
Clinton Babbitt The convention was
doleful affair, only little over half
Of the delegates entitled to seats being
present, although each county in the
district was represented. Butt two can
didates were thought of, John Winans,
of GAINESVILLE, and Mr.. Rabbitt. On the
first informal ballot, Babbitt received
majority of the votes and was de-
clared the nominee by acclamation
Notwithstanding he feigned al unwill-
ingness to take the nomination, he
came forward and accepted the empty
honor in a speech, setting forth the
dire distress of the farmers through the
robber tariff Mr. Babbitt had it un-
derstood that he was himself farmer,
although Cleveland's postmaster at
Beloit for four years, and consequently
could speak from experience of the
impoverished condition of the agricul-,
turalists of Wisconsin When secretary,
however, of the State Agricultural So
ciety, Babbitt felt differently about the
condition of the farmers of Wisconsin
and took pride in the evidences of
thrift and prosperity they presented,
and it should be borne in mind that
the farmer was living then under the
same tariff that he is now. But Mr..
Babbitt is "sly coon" and it answers
his present purpose to draw doleful
picture of the farmer class, expecting
that the sympathy he feels for them
will procure for him their support in
the personal canvass he declares he will
make among them. The First district
is largely an agricultural district, and
crocodile-teared champion, Mr.. Bah
bitt.

TEXAS JOURNALISM.

The Gainesville Daily Hesperian ha:
entered upon its twelfth year. Games
vile has not q few attractions, not the
least of which is the Hesperian.
The Hillsboro Mirror has taken a for
ward step in the shape of issuing q
twelve-page paper, all home print. The
Mirror is in a prosperous condition and
need not fear but its patrons will be
pleased with the improvement, but
whether they will appreciate 1t is another
thing. A newspaper has to be satisfied
with small audience OF that kind.
Special editions are getting to be the
order of the day, and the Rockwell
County News is in the swim. Editor
Stuart is going to get out one on October
81, which he says will "one of the finest
and largest papers ever issued III North

The plains have another representative
in the newspaper line, this time IN Floyd
City with Hackney and Hendrix at the
head. 1t is dubbed the Texas Kicker,
but whether as a memorial of Buck Kill
gore's forcible objection it does not stop

Sunday Globe with a cordial welcome,
but Editor Filthy enters a vigorous pro-
test against Its assumption that 1t is the

Texas. The Anzeiger is inclined to
think it ''fresh'' when 1t makes that

undoubtedly be a valuable aid to the

TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

Wild hay is being cut in large qusnti-
| ties in Randall county.
The Cotton yield of the Valley Mills
country will be much better than was
expected one month ago, and a great
deal of the valley cotton is just beginning
to open. Some of the bottoms will yield
bale to the acre.
The cotton crop of Navarro county is
turning out better than the farmers ex-
pectsd. Much of the rich black lands
about King Willow are making half q
bale TO the acre, and the fields are white
with the tieecy staple.
Cotton in Lipscomb county will make
fully half bale to the acre, s1d would
have made quarter more had the hail
not injured it.
The cotton crop of Williamson county
is turning out much better than was eX-
pected some time since. 1t s thought
now that the yield will be half g bale
per acre. The fields are yet white, and
the pickers are putting the gins up to
their best licks.
The farmers of Graysou county are
badly behind with their cotton crop,
owing to so much rain, and the scarcity
of pickers. Picking has gone up, how
over. Hands are demanding from
eighty cents to 81 Der hundred.
Cotton in the vicinity of NolanvIlle,
Bell county, Is shorter than last year,
but the average will be nearly half u
bale to the acre.
Another week of fine weather will
finish the rush in cotton picking in Hill
county. Corn is estimated from a light
crop up to forty and fifty bushels an
acre.
Kerr county cotton is estimated at one
half bale to the acre, and corn forty
bushels on the average.
PALESTINE, Oct. 3.-The weather con-
tinues cool and clear and cotton is COM

Mississippi, Constitutional Convention.

JACKSON, MISS, Oct 3.-The constitutional
convention to-day proceeded to consider the
subject of public education as presented in the
report submitted by the committee on education
and the substitute offered by Mr.. Jamison. The
report of the committee was explained by Gen.
Lee. its chairman, who addressed the convention
at some length. The committee report makes
the school age twenty years, provides for state
and county superintendent and state boa I'd of
education, as now organized, four months
terms, school fund to consist OF poll taxes to be
retained in counties where collected, and OF
sum of no. or less than $500, 900 per anuum
from the general treasury. to be supplemented
by county and district taxation, separate schools
for white and colored, and no RELIGIOUS sects
ever to control any part of the school or educa-
tional funds OF the sta;e.
By general consent the substitute was given
priority of consider alton. The very first sec
ton, which provides that 1t shall be the duty of
the legislature to establish a uniform system OF
free public schools By taxation for all children
between the ages Of Ave and twenty-one, evolved
debate which continued until few minutes Of
the Lour for adjournment.

Republicanism IN the South.
st. Louis Globe Democrat,

There Is good deal of sober and prac-
tioal truth in the speech of Congressman
Cheadle with regard to Virg inia politics.
The Republican party in that state was
strong and prosperous as long as Gen.
Malone had control and direction OF its
affairs. His leadership was bold and ag-
gressive, and yet discreet-aud consid-
crate. He was the first prominent man
in the South to organize an anti-Demo-
cratic movement on the theory of OBJ
hterating the color line. Unlike others
who have devised schemes in that rela-
ton, he appealed for the most
part to white men, TO citizens identified
with business interests, to Confederate
soldiers of reasonable views and
feelings. At the same time he accorded
all proper recognition TO the colored
people and made them understand that
he and his associates would protect their
rights and promote their welfare. The
result was that he esta blished ReDubli-
can party In Virginia which compared
favorably in Intelligence and reputable
ness with the Democratic organization.
1t was substantially a white man s party,
and its success involved no danger of
negro rule. White men regulated its
to its purposes. 1t grew steadily, and
would still be growing but for the fact
that Malone has been put aside and the
original policy SO changed as to revive
the race issue. There is a majority of
Republican voters in the state, unques-
tionably, but they will not vote the Re-
publican ticket when the result is likely
TO be conducive in any degree to negro
domination. The conditions in Virginia
are not materially unlike those which
prevail IN the other Southern
states. 1t is idle TO talk about
organizing an effective opposition to the
Democratic party anywhere in that sec
ton unless white men can be induced to
undertake 1t and permitted to manage
it In such a way as TO guarantee exemp-
ton from negro rule. 1t is not the DEM
ocrats alone who antagon:ze the colored
element as a force in politics. All the
white citizens are against it, for reasons
which have nothing to do with partisan
prejudices or preferences. This fact
may as well be looked squarely
in the face. The white peo-
pie of the South as class will
never consent to be governed by the
blacks. This is not simply because the
blacks are blacks, but because they are
in large part ignorant, shiftless immoral
and generally unfit to be trusted with
serious political duties and responsible
ties. The sentimentalists may bewail
the situation as much as they please,
but the fact remains that SO
long as there IL any chance or
danger of the negroes getting hold of the
reins of government the whites will go
on supporting the candidates Of the DEM
oeratie party. There are white Repub-
licans enough in every Southern state to
make a pronounced showing at any
election, but they are restrained and en-

TEXAS MILLS AND FACTORIES.

The Aledo bed spring factory, COM

citizens of that town, Parker county, is
now an assured TACT. At q recent meet
ing of the stockholders, MIR. E. d.
Farmer was elected president and Mr..
L. r. Fawks business manager.
The Marble Falls cooperative and
manufacturing alliance held meeting at
Marble Falls and selected a site on which
to build their factory. They will build a
cotton bagging factory and commence at
once clearing the site and erecting the
building, which will be of stone, SO as to
be able to supply the demand for cotton
bagging for next years crop. Water
power will be used for running the ma

barrassed by this besetting fear of the
negro power. Possibly they exaggerate
the peril, but there can be no doubt that
they are prevented by it from striving as
they otherwise would for Republican
principles and policies. They will assert
themselves and others of their race will
cooperate with them only SO far as it
shall be made certain that the negroes
are not to be put in the way of gaining
political mastery. The sentiment in
favor of the necessity OF white suprem-
acy is practically unanimous, so far as
the white people are concerned; and
there can be no Republican party in the
South upon any other condition, what
ever laws may be passed or whatever
agencies of discipline and compulsion
may be introduced.
