Or throw away that prize for the

in q recent editorialin the Albany

that he has made up his mind in
favor of the Senatorship: "We
have no idea," says the Times,
"tLat Governor Hill has the
slightest thought OF running
again for Governor.

What IL comforti John gets
the thanks while collector Dancy

THE suB-rREAsURUY.

The sub-treasury scheme, is a
much discussed subject but about
one of the best dissertations on the
familiar subject that we have seen
was written by a farmer in the
Memphis Appeal Avalanche, from
which we call the following extract:
I'VE Democrats should give the
question thorough investigation
before we launch out in a strife
without sails and be thrown upon
the rugged waves and upset. will
ask, how often has this occurred in
the last half century? This seems
to be the same old element. 1t has
sprung up in different forms; it is
generally led by someone who failed
to get the bell, and who is always
ready to jump over and kick down
the fence and excite as many as he
possibly can and say to them: You
have not got an equal showing over
there, get out here, in the shade;
this is free grass out here and it is
much better. We can eat when we
get ready and lie down in the shade"
What has been the result of this
kind of flock at shearing time? We
find good per cent. are generally
devoured by the wolves of the forest,
the thorns and the brush have
picked the fleece until it is hardly
worth shearing, and the flesh is so
poor that it is not for fit market,
and we find at feed time we have
worthless flock. Just stop, boys,
one moment and think what we have
Just crawled from. Just think of
that Infamous force bill that was
just in the act of being thrown upon
US, and come together like band
of brothers and vote vote for old
George so long that to stand it up
it would reach. the heavens, where
there is surely a seat prepared for 1t.
There are plenty Of air-castle build
ers erecting air castles on every
stump, but the question we should
consider, who will furnish the all?
The sub-treasury might be good
thing if some man would furnish the
money, but we have to go down into
our pockets after it and hand it over
to Uncle Sam and give 2 per cent
for it back. [ don't see any cheap
bread in that for our children. We
amt going to have any sub-treasury.
In the first place, we have not got
the money: and if we did, we would
certainly have EoUle presence OF
mind with it. These are things that
we have been struggling to get
from under-the high tariff and
rates that we have been
down for the last quarter
OF century. That is the only life
bread that we can get or expect from
the government.

AUSTIN GETS 1T ALL.

General Mabrv is accredited with
saying to Galveston News cores
pondent that the committee had
unanimously voted to hold the next
encampment at Arausas Pass, but
that he proposed to have it held in
Austin, as that was the proper place
for it, as we'll as the permanent
headquarters" If the recommen-
datious of the committee count for
naught it is hard to understand
why they should have gone junket-
ing all over the State and then went
back to Austin to auction off the
permant encampment, 1t looks as
if other places were made ''cappers"
to force Austin to pay the price for
it, but there is no evidence before
the public to show that any other
place ever had particle of show to
secure it. 1t looks as if the COM
mittee were inviting other places to
bid up so they could make Austin
pay the expenses Of the improve
meuts.and furnish the cite. Poor
old poverty stricken Texas, it must
be humiliating to her to have
learned that while in the midst of
har apparent prosperity, that she is
too poor to equip an encampment
for her volunteer guards, the gal
liant defenders of her hearthstone
and that she must go through an
auction sale with Waco and Bren-
ham as "cappers" to make Austin
pay for the permanent encampment.
