AFTER THE BALL.

Written for the Gazette by Lite Tommie Pants
The ball was DER and the maiden fair,
With dreams Of love. as light as air
Thought again Of her conquest there,
And OF him with the clOse-cropped blondined
hair.
The ball was DER, and the maiden fair,
Nrung her hands in mute despair,
And tugged and tore at her golden hair,
And wished she never had been there
Yes the ball was over, and twas hers to pine,
For the big shortstop OF THE C AZETTE nine,
Without a thought OF giving ofense
Had swiped the bail DER the left-teld fence.
Oh, Dallas maiden, fresh and fair,
In love with him OF the bloudined hair,
You ueedn' fret yourself at all
About the dude that's after the baA
But keep in mind this maxim true:
- Hold the Fort and then you'll do:
dts been the stay Of my Old maid antS)
And likewise that of Tommie Pants.
Ny Ant Canda Samyns Pants went shoppin'
TO Dallas the day The GAZETTE boys played
that game with the Dallas weakly paper, and
she did all the spellin' for me in my poultry.
She got hot when she was in Dallas cause
when She went in store there and asked for
some laStic. the clerk said: Just walk this
way" Anty says he was bow-legged and
pigeon-toad, and she couldn't walk that way
if She tryed month.

leaders Of the Peoples party, they
mean to put the negro on the same
ground in their party as that stood on
By the whites. That is Capt. Evans
promise-that the negro should have
an equal show" with any other man
in the party. OF course an equal show
means fair division OF the spoils.
What else could it mean? It would be
very dispiriting inducement to the
colored brother to offer him an ''equal
show in voting for white candidates.
He has that now, in the Republican
party, and Mr.. Wade's question was
framed to learn if there was any better
picking to be had at the tables OF the
Peoples party. Mr.. Hayes also ap-
peared to take that view Of it, as he
plainly told the convention that the
new party must take the negro hand
in hand" and give him some of the pie
if they expected to get his vote. And
the appointing of negro and white
county chairmen, thus putting the two
races on level in the county organiza-
tons, proves that the expression, 'the
colored men should have an equal
show means that there shall be no
distinction between them in the distri-
button OF the offices.
This answers Mr. Dinquid's question.
The Peoples party has made this
promise to the negro. Why should it
be out of place to ask them to guaran
tee it?
As to his further questions-''who
should require the guarantee to be
made?" and whether the Democratic
party has ever made such guarantee
the negroes themselves are the ones
to demand this guarantee before max
ing the trade whereby their votes are to
be transferred to the Peoples party.
No, the Democratic party has never
made such guarantee, because it has
never offered to give the negroes IAN
equal show" in cutting up the chicken
pie.

The anti-alien land law journals cry, let
the Law alone few years and see these
people who advocate the law come to their
milk. Just SO, but suppose that law is
amended SO as to secure the loan by giving
the alien money-lender certain term of
years in which 10 sell his holdings. This is
all that is needed. and thus amended the
law should stand.-LSan Antonio Light.
That is all that the 'anti-alien land
law journals" have asked. Nobody in
Texas is lighting the law that prohib-
is aliens from gobbling up Texas land.
1t is only that part of it that keeps out
cheap foreign money. The Lights
suggestion is but repetition of what
THE GAZETTE has been asking for for
two months. LAS thus amended, let
the law stand

THE floating vote of Ohio is looking
forward 10 campaign that will be as
field Of clover. Sherman is bleeding
the rich bankers for Doodle to buy his
way back to the senate, and Mckinley
is frying the fat out of the big manu-
featuring corporations, who are thus
requiting the debt they owe him for
the Mckinley bill. The Democrats,
too, have some funds on hand to be put
where the most good can be done.
Hard times hath no grisly visage OF
want for the Ohio patriot with vote
in stock

A state contemporary attempted sew
eral days ago to show by arguments that
Governor Hogg was the real author"
of the alien land law The GAZETTE
took issue with that and showed that
he was not the ''real author" of it be-
cause neither he or the party had ever
recommended the enactment of such a
law, and that the only show he had in
the authorship of it was the afiixing
his signature to it. The real author
OF the law was Representative Gossett.
who championed the bill and carried it
by vote quite unanimous through
both branches OF the legislature.
Now comes the Cleburne Chronicle
with an uncalled-for fling at TIE GA
zETTE, which it represents as contend
ing that the governor was not re
sponsible" for the law. Now, this
paper never said that nor anything
like it. 1t did state that he was not
the real author" Of the law, which is &
quite different thing from saying that
he was not Irresponsible" for it. He
did have certain share of response
bility in it by virtue of his approval of
the bill. That being the case this
paper could not hold unqualitiedly that
he was not irresponsible" for it. There
is wide margin of difference between
sharing responsibility for law and
being the real author" of it, If one
only has the eyes to see that difference.
Harrison by signing the Mckinley bill
shared in the responsibility for it, but
no one contends that Bill Mckinley
was not the real author" of it, and in
the main responsible for it.
We call attention to this matter not
for the purpose OF making an argument,
but to condemn the reckless and slip
shod manner in which some editors
handle the arguments of others, or de-
signedly misquote and misinterpret
those TO whom they are opposed.

THE GAZETTE does not believe that

am afraid it will make me pull up
stakes and cast my lot with you.
1--WE are having the hottest campaign
since 1875 in this state, between Demo
Gratis and sub-treasury advocates. Just
now it is hard to tell which will come
out first best. 1t seems TO me that most
OF our leading men are lodging the
question. The sub-treasuryites have
speakers all over the state, but it seems
almost impossible for US to get any one.
The fight has been left almost wholly
to Senator George. and, like:Leonidas,
the Spartan, he is standing to his post.
The ideas advanced by the sub-treasury
orator are very captivating, that a man
will be able to borrow all the money he
wants, he beng the Judge; the govern
ment must take whatever security the
borrower offers, with no power Of re-
fusal-land, mules, horses, cattle,

ducts, a financial millennium, think
