THE republican platform does not
favor the providing a home for dis
abled confederate soldiers at the ex-
pense OF the state, as is stated by
some democratic journals. The plat
form on this point says:
1--WE commend to the people of
Texas, the establishing of home for
the disabled and invalid Texas SOL
diers of the late war, with those en-
listed by the republic, and their
maintenance at the expense of the
state"
The republican platform abolished
the confederate line, and made its
declarations common to all. The
Union soldier during the late war and
the soldiers of the Mexican war were
soldiers of the republic, and there
are included with the Texas soldiers
of the late war, as having claims
upon the state. True the great bulk
of invalid soldiers in Texas are ex-
confederates, but the fact of numbers
does not yitiate the broad inclusive
ness of the republican commenda-
ton,

THE Laredo Gate City reasoning
from false premises to an unsatisfac-
tory conclusion asks:
"How comes it that with colored
men altogether ahead in the late Re-
publican state convention, every
nomination for state Office was of a
white MANI"
1t comes OF as natural result of no
colored man being named for any
office. The Gate City is altogether
behind in assuming that the colored
men were altogether ahead. There
was no color line in the convention
and the proceedings show it. The
Gate City is way off on this matter
and it has no end of company in it's
mistake. There never was a conven-
ton in Texas in which the color line
was so absolute obliterated, and re-
publican interests considered without
reference to race, as in the late con-
vention in this city.

Apreclous Piece Of Plate.

OF pieceo silverware now existing in

One day the Prince of Wales on alight-
Ing from his carriage at, the door of a
boiIse where he was about to pay visit
saw a blind man and his dog vainly try
ing to effect a passage across the
zthoroughfare in the midst OF throng of
carriages. With characteristic good
nature the Prince came to the rescue
and successfully pilotcd the pair to the
ether side of the street A short time
afterwards he received massive silver
inkstand with the following inscription:
no the Prince of Wales. From one
who saw him conduct blind ebeggar
across the street. In memory of kind
and Christian action" Neither note
nor card accompanied the, Offering, and
TIE name Of the donor has never been
discovered. But l think that the. anony-
nous gift is not the least priced OF the
riany articles in the, Princes treasure
chamber. ! can vouch for the authen-
ticity of this anecdote, as it came to me
erect from young English lady who,
ly the kindness of member of tho.
Prince of Wales household, was shown
through Marlborough House during the
absence of its owners, and theinkstand
in question was pointed out to her by
her conductors London Letter.
