BRITISH INFLUENCE.

It is estimated that English influence
had good deal to do with the Gillian
insurrection, and that it is playing an
important part in the Brazilian dis
turbances. The motive in each instance
is of course selfshness-the throwing OF
obstacles in the way of commercial
growth with this country, and the
maintenance of the British hold upon
the trade with those and other South
American countries. If this be true,
the man of average sense can perceive
a very striking contrast between the
honeyed statements OF Sir Edwin Ar
mold concerning the delightfully."- AMIGA
BILE and fraternal feelings cherished in
England for ''young America" and the
actual state of the English mind to-
wards us in matters of business. But,
after all, when one thinks OF the tariff
wall against English goods he should
not be surprised at Great Britain's
making such reprisals in her own pecu-
liar way as will in a measure compen-
safe for the unfriendly policy OF the

OF TWO EVILS, CHOOSE THE LEAST.
The best information from Ohio
tends to the conviction that John Sher-
man will be reelected to the Federal
senate from that state. The election of
Sherman means the defeat of Foraker.
To reach this end, we will pray that
Sherman may be elected. Not that the
people OF the South like Sherman more,
but that they like Foraker less.
The worst thing to be said about
John Sherman is that his financial
creed is the financial creed Of the enc
mics of the people. When the contest
was between more money and less
money, he was for contraction. Now
the issue is between silver and gold.
and gold alone, he is against silver.
His fiscal policy is not sectional, it is
representative Of class. 1t does not
any more affect the people OF the South
than it affects the people of the West
Foraker has all OF Sherman's faults
with none of Sherman's virtues. In
the senate his policy would be about
he same as Sherman's so far as it re-
lates to financial legislation. Beyond
this, he is bitter hater of the South,
and could be depended upon to join
with the extremists to carry through
any Legislation that would be prejudi-
cial to the welfare of the South.
Sherman would not let the advantage
of the South stand in the way of any
legislation that might benefit his
friends, the moneyed classes, though he
would not step aside to hurt the South
through mere excess of viciousness.
Foraker would make point OF study
ing up means of hampering the pro-
gress of the South because he hates us.
That is the difference between the
two men, and most Southern people
would like to see the lesser of the two
Republican evils go to the senate.

BATTLE OF BIRDS CREEK.
The Citizens of Temple Intend to Erect n
Monument to the Memory of Those
Who Fell on that Occasion.
Special to the Gazette.

SptCldl 10 the GaZelle-
TEMPLE, BELL COUNTY, TEX, Nov. 15.-
One of the bloodieSt battles fought between
the white settlers and the Comanche In
dians was fought in the early days at Birds
creek, one mile west of this city. The
whites, consisting OF thirty-siN white men
and one friendly Indian, who was the guide,
under the command of Capt. Bird. encoun-
tered several hundred hostile Comanches at
this battle ground early IN the afternoon,
and in the battle, which lasted till after
nightfal, all the whites, save five and lu-
Guiding Capt. Bird, We're slain, and under
cover of night the five surviving whites and
the Indian guide escaped, and after some
days reached Austin.
DIR. Ferris. one of the most intelligent and
clever old gentlemen, who was in the battle
of Birds creek, recently visited the battle
ground and pointed out many points of in
tereSt, and related some thrilling eXpe-
riences of this battle. He spoke of the sur
vivors, and said the Indian guide, whose
name was Tom, became very much amused
at a fight between negro and yearllng
which the negro was trying to brand some
years after the battle of Birds creek, and
undertook to laugh, something he had never
been known to undertake before, and died
of the effort.
The citizens of Temple intend to soon
erect a monument on the battle-ground to
the memory of those who were slain there,
at the unwilling of which DR.. Foris will be
invited to take an active part.
Not only do the twelve churches whose
spires point heavenward from Temple indi-
cate the piety of our city and the regard
our people have for the Christian Sabbath,
bnt the closed and Theoretically sealed
doors of our business houses on Sunday
show how obedient are they all to the Sun
day law of Texas. Many man has gone
dry to-day, and for a good many Sundays
past, because not door of any business
house or saloon was open.

THE Chicago Herald has been look
ing over Republican gerrymandering
in some of the states and has the fol-
lowing to say upon the subject:
1t is instructive by the way, to compare
the Democratic gerrymander In Ohio, about
which such indignant outcry has been
made, with Republican gerrymanders in
other states. Under the Democratic dis
tricting in Ohio the Republicans, as before
stated, elected two-thirds of the legisla-
ture with only 2 per cent, more than half
the vote of the state. In Iowa the Repub-
licans secure the legislature although the
Democrats elect their entire state ticket,
the head of it by 5000 plurality. In New York
the legislature is still claimed by both par
ties, although Flower received larger pro-
portion of the total vote than Mckinley re-
ceived in Ohio. Such is the difference be-
tween Democratic and Republican gerry
nlan0erS.

CHICAGO has pulled out of the race
for the next Republican national con-
vention. New York AID Frisco are
geographically disqualified from get
ting it, while Minneapolis and Cincin-
natl have locked horns in a contest
over its possession, with the chances
abou. even in favor of each. Fort
Worth doesn't want it, Dallas lacks
water sufficient to entertain it, and
Houston and San Antonio are too busy
about getting deep water due south of
them to bother their heads about hay
ing the next Republican national con-
vention held within their gates. Pos
sibly the combined influence of the
News and Col. Thomas Porterhousc
Ochiltree might succeed in getting the

Mr.. Mills announces that if he is chosen
speaker he will go into the chair Just as
MIR. Carlisle went there-without making

AN ILL-CHOSEN TOPIC.

It is presumed that the effort of Hon.
Martin Mohler, secretary of the Kansas
state board OF agriculture, to prove for
the satisfaction of the farmers congress
that a high state of civilization pro-
duces corresponding degree Of happi-
ness, was based on abstract reasoning
rather than on the experience OF his
iayhawker constituency. The people
of the Sunfower state get most of their
happiness now from the stream Of pen
sion money flowing constantly into
that state, and not from their civiliza-
ton. If they had to depend on that
alone for happiness-well, they
should thank heaven for their pensions.
Much can't be said of the civilization of
state that refuses the ballot to an ex-
Confederate, and sends such fellows as
Sockless Simpson to congress and PEI
fer to the United States senate, and
puts an illiterate pumpkin on the bench
to interpret its laws.
But why did the Hon. Martin choose
an academic and abstract question like
that for discussion before a lot of farm
ers? Talking of happiness to farmers
under the existing plundering tariff
regime is as foolish as would be lee
ture to a street car mule upon the dig
nifty of his calling in pulling fashion
able people.
