THE EVERLASTING PARTY.
TO THE .REPUBLI-
CAN COUNCIL ARRIVING.
Brains and Muscle of Good Govern
ment, Backed by Bushels of
Backbone, to Battle With the
Jeffersonian Jack-Daws.

Today, every incoming train is loaded
down with delegates coming to the Re-
publican state convention. There is a
marked difference between this gathering
and the gathering of the democrats. The
latter were on the ground two days before
the opening of their convention. They
came early, on the principle that the
early bird catches the worm, that they
may have ample time to lay wires for the
gain Of themselves or friends. They came
not TO express high principles for the
public veal but to engage in a mighty
vulture-like scramble for preference,
where demagogism and rant, born OF ire
Sponsibility, reigned supreme.
But the republicans. with no personal
claims to be considered, are coming with
the mission of keeping alive the grand
idea of republicaniSm, and to voice princi-
Piles of good government; to sound warn
ing note to its oppoSers. The difference be-
tween the two gatherings is that one was
largely dominated by personal selishness
and the other will consider the good OF
the state and the party before hearing
personal claims. No matter what turns
up TO disturb the serenity of the republic
can convention, the burning issues that
exist will receive attention and If this
gathering of the republican clans is not
numerically so important as that OF the
opponents of the pernicious principles OF
agTarian socialism. its proceedings will
certainly be invested with the same in
tereSt and those who love to see strife of
cOntending parties may not be dis
appointed in becoming spectators
tomorrow at KriSch'S hall. Unhappily
the convention will have to contend
against the great danger of laundering
the party in Texas on the fatal rock of
the race question. With sixteen contest
ing delegations, all split on the color line,
to be seated, there will be lively times
enough.
There are several candidates in the field
for governor, among whom are the Hon.
Webb Flanagan. of Henderson, and
Judges Bell and PeltOn, of Austin. The
delegates have been slow in arriving. Last
night only half dozen could be seen
around the hotels; today the woods are
full of them.
Among those already arrived here are
+ w. Miner, of Paris; Judge Slondon, OF
Almond: Hon. j. 7. Wright. of Paris; Col
onel j. c. DeGreSS, of Austin, and n. w.
Quincy. the collector of the port of Gal
weston. who will take prominent part in
the tuSSle between the two factions; &.
II. Mons. Of GOliad: VIM. l.. Booth,
HillSbOrO: Thomas b. Mommel, of
Galveston; Ed. Sibley, of VictOria;

SAN DIEGO, Cal, September 2.-The
sloop Petrol, commanded by Captain
VIM. Hoop, a well known shipping
captain, capsized just outside this
harbor yesterday. No one saw the
accident. A sharp wind was blowing
and it is supposed the sloop was over
turned suddenly. 1t was found by
some returning fishermen who also
saw the bodies of two women floating
near it. They tried to secure the
bodies but were unable to do so ow-
ing to the high wind. They came to
the city and gave the alarm and
large feet of boats went out
to search for the bodies but without
success. There were six persons on
the sloop all of whom undoubtedly
drowned. The occupants were Capt.
and Mrs. Hoop, Miss Wallace,
daughter of a Presbyterian minister
of this city, and a lady and two chill
dren, names unknown. 1t is be-
lieved the bodies have been carried
out to sea by the tide.

stormy passage returning from

five years ago, when without any
substantial reason it published Fort

jealousy that leads the little trading

not enough small pox in the whole

PUBLICATIONS.

BY far the most valuable business calendar
for 1891, and entirely unique in design, is the
Columbia Cycle Calendar and Stand, issued
by the Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, Mass. The
Calendar is in the form of pad containing
3G6 leaves, each 5! y inches one for each
day of the year, to be torn Off daily, and one
for the entire year. At the lower end of each
leaf is a blank for memoranda, and as the
leaves are only fastened at the upper end.
any leaf can be torn off The pad rests upon
stand, containing pen rack and pencil
holder, and when placed upon the desk the
entire surface of the date leaf is brought
directly and kept constantly before the eye
making it impossible to overlook date or
memoranda. The stand is made of stained
wood. mounted with raised letters in brass.
thus forming an ornamental paper weight.
The day of the week and the day of the year,
together with the number Of days to come
are given, and each slip bears a short
paragraph pertaining to cycling and kindred
subjects. These paragraphs have been care
fully colIated from leading publications and
prominent writers, the larger number having
though this is the sixth issue ofthe Calendar,
all the matter is fresh and new, comprising
notable events in cycling, opinions OF
physicians and clergymen, hints about road
making, and numerous other topics the
whole being enough to make a fair sized
volume when printed in book type.
