A DEMOCRATIC STORY THAT
HAS MANY DUPLICATES.

An Old "Wah-Hoss" Makes a New
Experience.
He rode eight miles through the
broiling sun upon one of the hottest
days in July to attend the democratic
primaries in his precinct; being a
prominent man in the state, in fact
one of the old "wah-hosses,n he had
been accustomed to preside at the
meetings of the great unwashed; he
came fresh from his johnson grass
patch with the hayseed clinging to his
whiskers; but he did not belong how
ever, to the secret organization of the
party; he was astonished to lind awell
attended meeting; he had felt 1t duty
to be present as the heat of the sum-
mers sunlight keep away the faithful.
He was not called on to preside but
in his stead the agent of the farmers
Alliance took charge of the meeting.
He rose, and in his old familiar way,
suggested little caucus to see who
should represent the democracy in
the convention. He was informed
tended to. He asked to look at the
list and did not discover his own
name, although he had his spectacies
on. A dazed expression passed over
his Thomas Jefferson face. He re-
marked: Boys, I reckon I'll 60, I
see I am not needed" AS he pro-
ceeded to ride back to his Johnson
grass patch, member" accOsted
him: "Major do you want to go to
the convention?" He replied: "No, not
particularly" his mind dwelling on
his eight mile ride through the sun.
The "member" said, with pleasant
smile On his alliance countenance:
"Well, you can't 60 this time" Thus
the honors, the trials, the battles of a
lifetime democrat were swept away
by the graceful wave of the hand of
one of the new order of democracy.
Our friend is not sulking in his tent,
but to beat Hogg is hell bent.

In a Bee Line.

Last night about nine o'clock, a
drunken German farmer drove down
Crockett street and attempted to
drive straight across the city. no
matter what might come in his way.
The wagon hit the curbing Of the
Alamo plaza park and the horses
could go no further. His team was
taken from the walk several times,
but each time he drove square into the
park again, as he was determin-
ed not to 60 out of the
way for anything so small
as the garden On Alamo plaza. The
team was at last turned into Houston
street, down which thoroughfare they
dashed; then they broke into Soledad
street, where the reporter lost all
trace of them.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Judge Anton Adam is the first
Richmond in the field for the office OF
justice of peace. Judge Adam has a
record, and will run like a jack rab-
bitt. His opponents, whoever they
may be will have to move lively.
There ought to be nerve enough in
the democratic party of Texas to call
straight democratic state conven-
ton.
Judge Anton Adam is not built like
q Jack rabbit but he has great gong
and staying qualities on the political
race course.
Judge C. Merritt Barnes is hesitat-
ing between straight democracy and
the dregs of defeat. Try another
doctor, Judge, and announce your
self.
Our local democratic Warwick,
George Rope-em-in, Is trying to set
up the political pins for the court
house boys to play. No use this
time.

AN EXPLANATION
OF the Reciprocity Resolution OF
Senator Sherman.
The Man From Ohio Has Some
thing to Say About 1t.

The At3urdity of Our Present Relations
with Canada-He Thinks Mutual Trade
and Commerce Should BE Promoted,
Not by Retaliation, But by Friendly
Overtures.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.--Senator Sher-
man said, in regard TO his resolution
providing for reciprocity with Canada:
There can be no question that better
trade relations ought to be had between
Canada and the United States. While
they produce largely the same articles
and are competitors for the market,
their trade with each ether IS larger
than with any other nations Canada
consumes more Of our food than we con-
sumo of thoirs. It produces metals that
we do not, and has immense stores of
nearly all the metals within within con
Venient distance to our coal, our fur
naces and rolling mills. 1t seems unna-
tural TO have any commercial barrier
between IFS, The arguments for free
trade between Canada and the United
States are almost as strong dis they are
between the several states of the Union.
The cCal of Nova Scotia finds its best
market i'll New England, while the coal
Of Ohio and Pennsylvania finds is
largeSt export market Ill Canada, and
the coal of British Columbia is the chief
reliance for all the Pacific states. La this
condition Of affairs it is absurd for either
country to levy Il duty on coal carried
from one to the other.
so. the article Of fish is the cause of
constant disturbance of Friendly rela-
tions between the two countries, as the
fish migrate constantly ba1k and forth
in the waters Of 10th. The exclusion Of
our fishing vessels from the ordinary
rights of hospitality III Canadian ports
is the reason why we levy high duties
ON Canadian fish, So simple fair al
rangcmcnt to admit fish free or at q
very low rate of duty upon reciprocal
relations as to the admission cf fishing
vessels inio the ports of the two coun-
tries would cure this sore.
Il could name articles by the score
where both countries would be bene-
flied by II free exchange Of products
and commodities, but it is difficult to
make any adjustment without having
previous conference. Reciprocity treat
les are Of doubtful eXrediency ut best,
Int reciprocal legislation with the
power i'll each 20 recall seems the best
way to increase the exchange of COM
modities between the two countries
Tile amendment | introduced looks to
such II conference, and, | believe, will
lie productive Of advantage not only i'll
cultiyating friendly feeling but in in
creasing trade and commerce.
