THE NEXT CONGRESS-.

Under the caption of Rosy Pros
poets" the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat publishes some of the results
of an interview with Hon. Roswell
P. Flower, of New York, chairman
of the democratic congressional cam
paign committee, i'll which it is sta
ted that while the committee is not
conducting a brass band campaign,
some very effective work is being
put in on the quiet, both in the way
Of organization and education, and
the prospects OF democratic major
ity in the national house Of represen-
tatiyes in the ffty-second congress
are considered as fattering as if the
election had already taken place and
the democratic majority was an &C
complished fact. When asked to
enumerats the certain sources of the
expected democratic gains which
will be necessary to secure a demo
cratic majority tie committee reply
"Our gains will be in the North,
both east and west. We shall gain
in the East from the support OF the
manufacturing communities that de-
sire free raw materials and who
have nothing further to hope from
the prohibitory figures of the repub,
lican tariff system. We shall gair Ill
the West from the agricultural vote,
which is already in revolt. AS for
the South, all the election supervis-
ors and deputy marshals that could
be collected there would only make
the people more determined and
more solid for democracy and good
government than ever" The pre-.
diction made and the belief enter
tanned by the committee are abund,
antly justified by the succession of
democratic victories that have fol
lowed the election of Benjamin Har-
rison to the presidency. The first
thing that the ifty-second congress
should do when it assemblies and or
ganizes is to impeach the ring lead
ers of the republican conspiracy in
the present congress of high crime
and misdemeanor and to take steps
to perpetuate in some way their par
tisan infamy in order that they maybe
Justly held in the lasting contempt
and adherence of future generations.

SENATOR COKE UNDEMocRAr1C g

SENATOR COKE UNDEMOCRATIC G?
One of the most absurdly ridicu.
lous and extremely visionary
schemes ever proposed i'll the shape
of legislation is the one known as
the sub treasury bill, which provides
that the United States government
shall assume paternalisuc care over
the farmers and go into the produce
commission business for the ,pur-
pose of making advances of such a
per cent on the value of their pro-
ducts on consignment and thereby
secure a market for them and com
mand good price independent of
the ordinary laws of commerce. The
sub treasury scheme seems to meet
with much more favor in the South
than was to have been expected, but
it is not believed that after It shall
have been clearly understood and
fully considered it will ceplin re to
be as popular as it appear, Ia be
among the farmers al resent.
There is no denying the fact tNat the
farmers suffer more abuses from the
present system of legislation in the
United States than any other class,
and they have become so desperate,
as it were, that they are prepared to
accept relief by almost any kind of
means without considering their
fairness or unfairness, constitution
atty or unconstitutionality. But in
answer to letter from the farmers
alliance of Milan county on the sub
treasury scheme, United States Sen
ator Coke tells the farmers that
their proper remedy and their relief
must come through change in the
tariff laws and in the regulation of
railway freight rates. This is it in a
nutshell. The railroads must be
more reasonable in their charges,
they must not discriminate and they
must not operate on watered stocks
and fictitious bonds With the rob
Der tariff abolished and the railroads
brought within the bounds of reason
the farmers would know hard times
no more such as they have been
complaining of these many years.
But what is to be thought Of the
rashness Of Senator Coke in avowing
himself in favor of regulating the
railroads =! Already, no doubt, he

TAE BANNER has a good joke on
two citizens of Silkville, but is afraid
to call any names. They are the
joint owners of a wind mill, which
got out of repair and they employed
Ernest LANCE to fix it. While work
ing Mr.. LANCE dropped his monkey
wrench in the bottom of the well,
and he hit on a ruise to recover it..
He told the partners in the wind
mill that the well needed cleaning
out. that it was choked with sand
Accordingly they employed three
men to work an entire afternoon to
clean the well out, and they reported
that there were no sand in it.

FAR-FETCHED ARGUMENTS.

An esteemed religious contempt
rary, the Baptist Index, gives racy
burlesque specimen Of the far
fetched sermon once in vogue. The
preacher, it says, took for his text ::
"a certain man went down from Je-
rusalem to Jericho and fell among
thieves" And this is how he began:
My brethren, the bible is wonder
full book. 1t says so much in q
word. Now, there is very little
said here about the character OF this
man that fell among the thieves; but
[ know just what sort of a man he
was. And, first, he was a sober
man; secondly, he was a punctual
man; thirdly he was an Industrious
man; and, fourthly, he was a married
man. And I learn all this about the
man from one single word that the
bible says about him; it says he was
certain man. Now we all know
that there is no certainty in drunk
ard, there is no certainty in a man
who is not punctual in his engage
ments, no certainty in an idle loafer,
and there is no one of these bache-
lors in forty that you can trust"
While it may seem a little far
fetched and not parallel case, ex-
actlv, the above is not only equaled,
but is excelled by some of the silly
arguments of the anti-commission
Clarkites in the present campaign.
They have been bringing for
ward all kinds of silly
arguments to support their
side. For instance, they have char
acterized the movement in favor of a
railway commission as revolutionary
when twenty-seven other states in
the union already have commissions.
They have pronounced it undemo-
cratic, when some of the purest and
best and ablest men in the party in
the state favor it. They have stirred
up tempest in the teapot several
times over things too silly and
ridiculous to seriously notice, but
have been compelled of their own
volition to abandon each peculiar
line of argument ere they were dig
nitied with denial and refutation.
Driven to the last ditch, in their des-
peration to find temporary expedi-
ent and makeshift, they have taken
up the personal liberty cry and are
shouting at sumptuary legislation
with all their might. They could
not have hit upon a more far
fetched argument. But they think
it will pay to thresh over old wheat
and adopt shibboleth which led to
victory in the late prohibition cam
paign. It is weak and COW ardly
argument and can possibly have no
effect, whatever, save among the
ignorant. The idea of corporations
having souls or any rights of per-
sonal liberty being abridged by
regulating railroads, and the idea OF
it being sumptuary legislation or
paternalism to have commission to
regulate railroads when there is a
state commissioner to regulate the
insurance business and other
lines OF industry, is false: and
to advance such argument is dema-
gogy, pure and simple.

COOKS FIRST GUN.

dOQ. OuSIdF SOOk, Iuo CduulOdIe
of the Dallas caucus for governor in
opposition to General Hogg, made
the opening speech of his canvass
on last Saturday at Kyle. There
was to have been Q grand barbecue
and excursion trains were to have
been run out from Austin to swell
the crowd. But the highest esti-
mate which was put on the number
present by the reporter OF the Gal
weston News, a Cook organ, was
only three hundred. 1t would be
unfair in this connection to sup
press the fact that it was a rainy
day and that the elements conspired
against a large attendance. The
rain, however, need not have inter
fered with the preparations and ar
rangements for the barbecue, as
these were supposed to have been
attended to before the rain began,
and considering, anyway, that it was
the opening gun of the campaign as
far as Judge Cooks side of it was
concerned, and that the Clarkite fol
lowers on the stump and the news
paper organs were to take their cue
from the Judges opening address, 1t
does seem that a bigger showing
could have been made. There is
nothing said about how nicely the
barbecued meats were cooked to a
turn; the railroad excursion from
Austin was abandoned, and accord
ing to the Fort Worth Gazette's ac-
count of it even majority of the
beggarly three hundred in attend
ance were supporters of General
Hogg. Of the address delivered by
Judge Cook the most commendable
feature about it was its brevity.
Despite the fact that Judge Cook is
considered one of the best stump
speakers in the state it was weak,
evasive and inconclusive. He began
by referring with pride to his having
been solicited to make the race for
governor by 'large number of gen
tlemen Of high responsibility resid-
ing in various portions of our COM
mon country" when in fact the en-
tire signatures to the call on him
only represented seven counties in
the state. mostly from Dallas. He
then descends to undignifed aliu-
sions and seeks by personal detrac-
ton of his opponent to strengthen
his own case. He essays a learned
disquisition on the origin and theory
of government, ignoring the fact
that the subject had been exhausted
half century ago, and yet he says
nothing new. He builds up man
of straw for the sake of knocking
him down and harps on such far
fetched terms as ''sumptuary legisla-
ton" and personal liberty" as if
they had anything to do with the
discussion of railway commission.
After explaining that sumptuary
laws are where the government in
etertres with q citizen natural
rights, about what he shall eat or
drink, he makes a lame attempt to
force an application of his remarks
to the proposed railroad commission,
when he knows as lawyer that cor
porations have no souls and no indi-
yidual nor natural rights The
Judge will have to DO better next
time than discuss in a general way
the theory of government and such
far-fetched questions as personal
liberty and "sumptuary legisla-
ton, and he must not descend to
personal detraction if he wishes to
stand ghost of show.

MR. W. R. Moore, a drummer
who travels for st. Louis house,
came up to the BANNER Office yester-
day and subscribed for the paper.
He is an enthusiastic supporter and
admirer OF Gen. Hogg for governor,
and says that he has fallen in love
with the BANNER from reading ex-
tracts and quotations from it in
other papers.

AN EXTREMIST.

put much store by and are bringing
forward with monotonous iteration
i'll their fight against General Hogg
for the govenorship is that he is an
extremist and that the best interests
of the people and Of the state would
not be safe i'll his hands. That they
have taken up such cry is most IN
fortunate for themselves, for the
reason that ii applies with peculiar
force to their own candidate. As
we stated in commenting on the &C
ton OF the Dallas clique at the time
it met End brought out Judge Cook
as the leader of the anti-commission-
ist George Clark following in the
forlorn contest, nothing personally
against the character of Judge Gus
tave Cook can be said, and none but
the guttersnipes of the press and
those whose low instincts would
lead them to prefer a campaign of
billingsgate, indecency and SANDER,
has anything to regret on that &C
count. Judge Cook is a representa-
tive Southerner of the old school
and a gentleman. But his selection
as the standard bearer of the Clark
ties is most unfortunate for that
side. The anti-commission organs
say 1t will sharpen the issues. So
it will, but not in the way they
mean. His selection draws his
crowd further away and apart from
the people and gives emphasis to
the character of the opposition to
the proposed railroad commission.
1t was bad enough that railroad
lawyers and lobbyists, who are
salaried and fed by the railroads and
to whose interest it is to be on the
side that they are, figuring conspic-
uously in the Dallas caucus and
taking the lead Of the opposition,
But when they selected Judge Gus
tave Cook, who although personally
and socially gentleman, is rabid
and Incorporate extremist, who has
no sympathy for working people,
and who came out in letter to the
Galveston News four OF five years
ago during a strike on the Missouri
Pacific road, attacking the working
men and Knights of Labor and de-
nouncing Grand Master Workman
Powderly as an ''overrated and byp-
ocritical fraud" and "a liar because
he is a coward" the Clarkites en-
phasize the fact as strongly as they
possibly could have done that there
is vast gulf between them and the
people and that they stand for cor
porate and selfish greed against the
people. The war on the strikers by
Judge Cook was voluntary and IN
provoked, and nobody who read that
letter can honestly believe that there
is any bond of sympathy between
him and the workingmen, who com
pose the vast majority of the people
in every nation and cline. This is
the age of social and labor reforms,
when every state in the union is
moving to ameliorate the condition
of the workingmen. Should Judge
Cook by any possibility secure the
nomination and be elected the only
kind ot legislation that would be
likely to impress itself on the state
would be laws favoring corporations
and monopoly. 1t is pretty certain
that the honest toilers would stand
but little show.
