Shelby county should send a solid
delegation to the State Gubernatorial
Convention. This is about her only
hope to secure the prize. On the
outside Josiah Patterson distances
by far all other aspirants as to his
following, and if he gets this county
solid there is not the slightest doubt
OF his nomination, and then for the
first time in its history the banner
county of West Tennessee can claim
the proud distinction of counting the
governor of the State among its citi-
zens. But if a divided delegation
goes up, we all know what that
means. A disgraceful quarrel and
wrangle, the frittering away of
power, and the engendering of bitter
ness and animosities that will sur
vive the convention and go over into
the campaign for county officers,
perhaps to the danger of party
Memphis Scimdar.
That is just about the size of it.
Uncle Josiah cannot hope, under the
circumstances, to secure the solid, har-
monious delegation, and means to
carry his row to the State Conyen-
ton to have it settled.

John Nj. Taylor's boom is getting
a fair send off and is knocking Il good
deal of "stuflin" out of Buchanan and
Patterson. West Tennessee papers
who know Mr.. Taylor speak OF him
in the highest terms as n good, hon
est, clean, reliable man, and there is
no doubt he will develop much
strength in the convention.

Editor Corsicana obterver:
DEAR SIR-Your Favor Of the LIST, asking me
to state the qua atoms that should eyaii
in tn admission of persons into the primary
councils or actions ofthe Den o -rRcy, has been
received and considered. and in reply I beg to
say:
i. A man should be D 1mocrat who particle
pat es in Democratic primaries.
2. He should reside in the locality WI ere the
prim ~ is held, and posses the general quahf-
cations OF a voter.
3. Where it is thought necessary to protect the
party against its enemies getting into its
councils or participating in its primary actions
the local executive committee should provide
The method, being careful to exclude no Demo-
crst who openly espouses the principles Of the
party and is willing to support its action by
voting for its nominees.
4. In the case of conventions it is usual and
proper to pledge the delegates to the support of
the action of that body and the ac-
ton of the party generally; in the
case of primary elections the party
voting thereat should be able to satisfy the ofi-
GERS OF election that he will be qualified voter
In that locality at the next election, openly an
nounce his belief in the principles of the Demo-
cratic party and pledge himself to support the
party nominees.
The party has not, either in its national or
state organization, announced any castiron o.
fixed rules to govern in admission to primaries.
but trusts to the loyalty snd discretion OF its
members in local organisations TO protect its
primaries from intruderS, and at the same time
10 freely and gladly admit into her ranks and
councils all Democratic voters, however recent

and Watches.

-Four teen Year Old Boy Steals Some Money
and Watches.
Special to the Gazette,
ALYoRD, Tex. June I0.-A case of
thieving was unearthed here yesterday
evening and the culprit caught. He has
been annoying some of our merchants for
fourteen years old, proved to be the
depredator, and JOhu BeYett s. Brothers
and N. W. and N. P. Hackett, the vic
Tins. About two weeks ago Mr.. ohm
Beyett missed gold watch from his
show case, and by inquiry among the
men working in the house be found none
of them had sold it. Paul Long eway
had bunch OF keys stolen from his
room door some time ago and Mr.. Beyett
concluded that that bunch of keys was
used in opening his store at nights. He
placed a Waterman II his store at night
who remained there several nights with
no result. On last Wednesday S. in
money was taken from the postofice cash
drawer, which is in Mr.. Beyett's store.
The case was kept very quiet and last
Sunday some little boys told that they
had seen Eugene Combs with several
watches, pocket knives and some money.
Diligent inquiry yesterday proved beyond
a doubt that Eugene had the goods and
yesterday evening Mr.. Beyett and Con-
stable Morris went to Mr.. Combs house
and he was told of the accusation
against his son. Eugene first positively
denied knowing anything of the busi-
ness, but final y gave way, and ac-
kn0wledged all. He took the officer and
Mr.. Beyett into his fathers smokehouse
and pointed out an old barrel in which
was found the missing gold watch, one
silver watch, and one goldine watch,
several pocket knives and seven dollars
in money. Messrs. Hatchett had never
missed the two watches taken from their
show cases until the talk yesterday, and
on inquiry found they had not been sold
by any one in the house.
Eugene is past fourteen years Of age
and small for that age, has been afflicted
with epilepsy for several years.
His father is very worthy
itizen, honest and upright.
who has the sympathy of the whole town
in this misfortune.
The fine rains of last Saturday and
Sunday have made crops of all kinds
show prospect for an immense yield.
Mr.. T. B. Brite, three miles west of this
place, will show wheat with Wichita
valley or any other section of the Pan
handle. The oat crop is very fine In this
section of the timber.

No CENSUS enumerator or supervisor Is
permitted to give out any information
whatever gained in the performance of
his duty. IN reply to inquiries on this
subject Superintendent Porter directs at
tention to the thirteenth section of the
census act of March, 1889, which makes
It ga misdemeanor, punishable by a fine
of $500, for any supervisor or enumerstor
to communicate TO any person not
authorized to receive the same, any in
formation gained by him in the per-
formance of his duties. 1t is not, there
fore, within the discretion of the super
visors or enumerators to make public or
to give out any part of the information
obtained by them. This applies with
equal force to local authorities, news
papers and individuals. In no case will
the superintendent grant permission to
divulge any such information. No
fluctuations whatever of the returns must
be made by the supervisors, and no
rough estimates given OUT

IT is we'll at times to be adversely
criticised, as man is admittedly a Great
ure of experiment and learns from his
failures. There are few teachers in the
public schools who have not felt TO be
true what is here quoted:
J. G. Fitch, inspector of trsining schools in
England, who came to America in 1888 to study
the public school system, has made report
which is not very complimentary to our schools
He says they give no better education than is
now afforded by the elementary schools of
England, the chief fault being that the minute
ness of the rules laid down for teachers and
pupils ''leaves little room for the spontaneity OF
the former or the individu atty of the latter"

standard by which to judge and guage
the prosperity that may be expected in
the ten years to come. The returns to
many will be a standard, and it Is clear
ly in the interest of all citizens not only
to answer fully but to accelerate the
work by being ready with their answers.
Already oensus-takers are abandoning
the work because of the pay being Iu-
adequate TO the time consumed. This
might be remedied by promptness in re-
Spouse, and the correctness of the re-
turns materially enhanced by such aid as
is possible on the part of citizens.

THE recent behavior of the Harvard
students, so disereditable to them and
subYersive of good order, is awakening
the impression that the leniency that has
grown out of the idea that "boYs will be
boys' is misplaced. A levity that leads
to painting the statue of the founder,
John Harvard, red, and the inconsid-
crate folly that would not be checked,
and by noise and rioting has endangered
the life of an honored preceptor, are
more properly subjects for police regula-
lation than for ''deplorlng" By the fac
uity of any institution.

WHY Alexander Tagliaferro should

for Cleopatra's mummy is not clear.
Tom Moore sang:
However fond may be of the flesh,

And in a city where the Clan -na-Gael
could flourish, there are too many of
Celtic blood that agree with the Irish
poet, and could never prefer a beauty
mummified to the plump charms of Chi
cago girls. Chicago Is too live town
for mummies, male or female.

''I sigh to rest me again under the shadow Of

sire is TO get on q good farm, with my wife and

From present indications it is probable
the governor will not sigh in vain. At
