NEW YORK has had a sample OF
Texas mistletoe and is stuck on it,
judging from the following from the
New York Sun:
"There has been a little Inistletoe
brought to town from Texas this
year. 1t has commanded good
price, and it Is predicted that it will
some day be shipped north in large
quantities for the holiday season.
The Texas mistletoe is a big improve
ment upon the English mistletoe in
appearance. 1t is thriftier, greener,
and so much handsomer than its Eng
lish cousin that there is no just COM
parison between them. The leaves
are larger and thicker and much more
plen tiful. The white berries. too, are
more numerous and in larger punches.
1t grows in small bush like clumps of
half q dozen or more thick stalks,
which branch from a short stock.
Stalks and leaves are of deep green
color, and the berries are waxy,
translucent white. The Texas plant
is a rich, sturdy growth. In COMPARE
son with it the English mistletoe is
scraggy and consumptive-looking."
Texas can get away with the Queens
empire every time. This is a truth
that all will acknowledge in time.

SATURDAY, JANUARY II, 1890.

TEXAS is entitled to that S., 200 900
asked for in Congressman Stewards
bill. II is not the full S10,OOO,OO0, but
it comes we'll along towards it. 1t
appropriates S., 2OO,O 900 for Calves ton,
81 800, 900 for Sabine Pass and 81 POO
900 for Arkansas. Arkansas can get
most water and better harborage for
the least money Of any port on the

If Spain's baby dies, there will be
some trouble in settling the success
sion to throne. The republican party
stimulated by the example of Brazil
will very likely make movement to
revolutionize the government. Spain
is by no means in settled condition
and all hopes of political tranquility
hang around the cradle of the little
sick king.
In the death OF Judge Kelly, of Penn
sylvania, so well known as father of
the house, this country has lost one of
its purest and most irreproachable
public servants. His counsels will no
more be heard IN the halls of national
legislation, or in the convocations of
his party. His career was as long as
it was honorable and his rest was
we'll earned.
THE fight for decent road law in
Texas is by no means abandoned and
the hopes of the people hang round
the next Legislature. OF that body
in connection with this subject the
Fort Worth Gazette says:
1.-THE good road agitation goes
marching on, despite the mild win
ter. The way to secure good roads
is to send good men to the legislature
who will enact laws that will enable
the people to expend the money me-
cessary to build good roads.
THE Waco Day says, concerning
that peaceable municipal election il
Jackson, Miss, in which the town
bristled with shooters in the hands o
white men, and no colored man wa
allowed near the polls:
"The municipal election at Jackson

to late hour in The day the negroe
had refrained from voting, dispatcl
naively stating that If they staid ava,
from the polls there would be peace
otherwise there would be trouble
Still the average Jackson man wouIt
perhaps insist that the race problem
in the south IS not political, but pure
ly social and industrial"
Purely social and industrial is good
1t takes the matter SO completely on
of the realm of politics. Let US hav

THE st. Louis Republic cannot
make good its assertion that "There
is and can be no such thing as pro.
lection democrat. 1t is a contradic.
ton in terms, precisely as it would be
to speak of an Infidel Christian y
The Republic will find that Samuel J,
Randall and Ex-Governor Brown, OF
Georgia, are not so easily read out OF
the democratic party. What will the
Republic do with this passage from
one of Jackson's messages setting for
the constitutionality of protective leg
islation:
"Our political system without the
constitutional power to protect our
industries) would present the anom-
ally of people stripped of right to
foster their own industry and 10 coun-
teract the most selfish and destruc-
tive policy which might be adopted
by foreign nations"
Andrew Jackson is generally ac-
cepted as having as good democra-
tic pedigree as the Republic man.
There was this difference jackson
had harder brain and did not slop
over as readily as does the Republic.

SLAUGHTER OF SWINE.

The usual sickcning scenes of hog
<illing time arc now witnessed-chas-
anC, catching and sticking the. animals,
o.pid deafeninS squeaiing, blood pouring
out, and the Mortified children looking
tin! Most Of this can be obviatcd by
hrst striking the animal blow on the
head with light, long handled slcdgc-
damner: This produces stupor, and
death is painless. Another way is to
drop the open side Of Il long, narrow box
down over the animal and then turn box
and hog upside down, when the knife
can do it's work, and box be rightcd
again, and he can bleed out standing.
But whatever the way, tho slaughter
should be done with least possible pain
to the victim and to the Scusibilitics of
humankind. One Of the most unpicas-
ant memories Of my life is having wit
messed, when lad, hog-killing at an
nbattoir. Ono man with a sharp hook
caught the animals in the flesh under the
jaw; then, raising the snout up, another
Tnan struck them standing. Yet this
''oes not seem SO cruel as the present
way, for it was done very quickly. .-Ne,o
