A PANEGYRIC ON HARRISON

! A correspondent of the New Yorl
Herald holds the poor old republican
party up in truly deplorable light
1t represents the head of the admin.
istration as being a mere fgurehead
and attributes the Generalization
and threatened disorganization and
disintegration of the party to his
weak, vascilating course. Instead
of being president of the people he
has descended to the low level of
a bitter, scheming partisan, but too
much moral coward to take firm
and settled stand with either faction
in his party. Hence the great rival
ry and struggle going on at present
among the different leaders in the
republican party and its unsettled
policy. 1t is like a ship without a
rudder, tossed to and fro by every
wind. Harrison is said to be at
present violently enraged with Sen
ator Quay for defeating consid-
Grafton of the Lodge election bill,
and his claquers and personal organs
are engaged in denunciation of the
boss as a scoundrel and traitor and
are lavish in other pet terms of en-
dearment on him. The president
will never be happy unless he can
be even with Quay. As he owes his
election to that gentleman's peculiar
methods, it has been suggested that
it were base ingratitude to try to
throw him over simply because he
believed the federal election bill to
be inopportune. But when the
presidents ingratitude to Block-of-
Five Dudley is considered, no action
of the president should be thought
strange. The Memphis Avalanche
thus pictures him as fgurehead:
President Harrison has not taken
a stand in anything. BE has pre-
sumed to lead in nothing. He has
not had the courage to ally himself
with any faction of his party, advis-
ing with it, and being guided by it.
But he has been content with
mere perfunctory discharge of the
duties of his Office, leaving it to the
various factions to fight it out
among themselves. The result is
that he has dwindled to his correct
proportions of a nonentity. There is
no administration party. IT is a
sort of contest between Blaine,
Reed, Mckinley, Chandler and Quay.
They are all playing for points and
the president is more of spectator
than participant"

who was prominent republican
candidate for speaker of the house at
the beginning of the session, seems
to have established an unenviable
reputation for coarseness. Beck
with, a republican from New Jer-
seY, opposed the resolution and this
subjected him to vulgar insult
from the Illinois statesman, couched
in such language as made it neces-
sarY for. a democratic member for
the sake of decency to move that
the gallery be cleared of ladies. In
the course of the running remarks
Mason, republican from Chicago,
denounced Cannon as a liar and a
scoundrel, said his family were in
the gallery and that be would not
have them insulted by Cannon's
dirty language. While matters were
approaching a climax and the com
pliment of "liar" and "scoundrel"
were about to be returned, the
the storm broke out in another quar-
ter Wilson, republican member
from Washington, took occasion to
defend Cannon's action and aroused
the ire of another republican. Hot
words ensued, the lie was given,
blows were passed and friends rush
ed up and seized both men. A
democrat with characteristic sense
of justice and desire to see fair play,
suggested that the London prize
ring rules be adopted. And so they
went on. 1t is hard to see how
men aspiring to be statesmen, called
to fill such responsible and high
could be guilty of such
conduct. But while the scenes
were disgraceful to an extreme the
humiliation of the American people
is greatly alleviated by the reflection
that all of the parties who were
mixed up in the disgraceful proceed
ings were republicans. The demo
Gratis only appeared in the role of
peacemakers and in the interest OF
lecency and can wash their hands
Of the affair. The republican party
las already forfeited its claim to re-
'pect and confidence, and the sooner
t devours itself or tears itself to
pieces through party discord the
better off will the entire country be.

CRIME IN TEXAS.

At Austin last week man nance
st. Croix made a brutal and coward,
ly assault upon his wife, firing five
bullets at her as she fed from him
who should have been her protector,
which admonishes the Statesman Of
the fact that the law does not pro,
tect human life anywhere in Texas
as it should, and asks "Why did
not the law protect the wife of st.
Croix from the bullets of the savage
would be murderer? Simply be-
cause st. Croix had no fear of it,
nor the most remote idea that he
would ever suffer for the crime he
was about to commit. He knew
that capital punishment is practical
~ abolished in Texas and at most a
short term in the penitentiary would
be about all the penalty that would
ever be melted out to him."
Continuing its structures upon the
laxIty of the enforcement of the laws
the Statesman asserts that they are
simply the laughing stock of the
murderer and the assassin who has
nine chances of escape to one of pun
ishment, and about one in a hun
dred of having his neck stretched on
the gallows. Capital punishment
was practically abandoned from the
day juries were given the choice of
assessing the penitentiary or the
death penalty, supplemented by the
wholesale pardon system. For the
last ten years how many murders
have been committed in this State,
and how many executions on the
gallows 2-the only thing that really
deters the murderous villains. How
many in Austin? For the last
twenty years there has been a long
list of murders and assassinations in
hits city, and but one hanging, and
that of a poor devil of a negro
whose guilt was at least doubtful.
Fear is the deterrent principle of all
government. The criminal element
will not be restrained by the law I'M
less they fear it. To make them
fear it every man who commits a
wilfuI deliberate murder ought to
suffer the same death he inflicted on
his victim with certainty and celeri-
ty. To punish the assassins packed
juries must be abolished, the techni-
cal attorney relegated to the rear
and the Judiciary raised above the
plane of communicating politics. Be-
yond all there must be built up in
his State healthier public opinion
hat will not weep over the misfor-
junes of the scoundrelly assassin
With never a thought of his victim.

A CORRECTION.

The attention of the Galveston
News is called to the inconsistent
figures 1t published in its statistical
edition of Monday in its "write up
of Brennan. 1t puts the volume OF
trade here at S2,500,OOO, but puts
the cotton receipts at the insignif-
cant figures of 1882 bales, and val
ues the total exports of the city at
100000. This is evidently an un-
intentional mistake, as can be proven
by figures from the same paper. In
the report of the freight handled by
the roads from various places, it has
the Central alone to haul $4,000
bales of cotton from here while it
accredits the Santa Fe with having
hauled 1886 bales, which in itself
is IA bales more than it says Bren-
ham buys. But taking the figures
OF these two roads we have an ag-
gregate of 2S,366 or nearly double
the number the News says BRENNAN
receives.
The News says the total volume
of business is estimated at S6,4O9.
1872, which is perhaps somewhere in
the neighborhood of correct, but
the cotton report was evidently
mixed with the receipts of some
neighboring village and does Bren-
ham an injustice that the News will |
no doubt correct since it's attention
has been called to it. The export
figures are almost as far wrong as |
the cotton receipts, as will be seen
by running over the list of exports
OF cotton, wool, hides and live stock
and estimating them at their market
value. They show at a glance that
the summary of the News is moi
consistent with the figures it gives
Of the exports of the articles emu
nerated, and that the pleasure
Brenhamites found in reading the
splendid write up" is turned into
disgust when they reach these two
errors.

tongue and exhumes literary gem
penned by Geo. D. Prentiss that
was not horned to die.
The fiat of nature is memorable.
There is no appeal from the great
law which dooms US to dust. We
flourish and fade as the leaves of the
forest, and the flowers that bloom
and w1ther in day have no Trailer
hold upon life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the earth
with his footsteps. Generations of
men will appear and disappear as
the grass, and the multitude that
thronged The earth to-day will disap-
pear as the footsteps on the shore.
Men seldom think of the great event
ofdeath until the shadow falls across
their own pathway, hiding from them
the faces OF loved ones whose living
smile was the sunlight of their exis-
teuce. Death is the antagonist of
life and the cold thought of the
tomb is the skeleton of feasts. We
do not want to go, though the dark
passage may lead to paradise; we do
not want to lay down in the grape,
even with princes as bedfellows. In
the beautiful drama of lone, the hove
of Immortality SO eloquentlY uttered
by the death-devoted Greek, finds
deep response in every thoughtful
soul. When about to yield his young
existence as a sacrifice to fate his
Clemantha asked if they should
meet again, to which he replied: 81
have asked that dreadful question of
the hills that look eternal-of the
clear streams that flow forever-of |
the stars among which field of azure
my raised spirit has walked in glory.
All were dumb, but as I gazed upon
thy living face, L feel that there is
in the love that mantles
through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet again,
Jlemantha."

STRIKES.

The ''strike" as most recently
demonstrated by Knights of Labor
VS.. the New York central and Hud-
son River R. R. system is an unsat-
isfactory method of setting the diff
ferences arising between labor and
capital. The stockholders of this
sostem of roads number some H.
900 and belong to all classes, many
of which can i'll afford to see their
shares depreciate in value, while on
the other side many men who have
families dependent upon them for
support are out of employment, all
on account of slight differences that
it does seem could be amicably ad-
justed by some other method than
that of the strike, which is war to
the knife between the employer and
employed. 1t does not speak well
