uattarsnn,s Views

In recent speech reported in the Waco
Daily Intervieo Mr.. WATTERsoN talked out
in meeting in manner that surprises us.
He said, for example,:
lin 1884 ~ told them that four years had
wrought a great change; that the time had
come TO speak out; that the message sent TO
Congress by the President and the Mills bill do
manded an utterance. We did speak out and
weiwere beaten. You know as well as do what
beat Us. II was not that we were not on record
in manly, intelligent way. We had Mug
wump nominee who could not even carry his
own State"
SHUT 90 the future. There has come up
another question that confronts us as the tariff
did In 1854. II IL the silver question. have nc
apprehension about the tariff. We will adjus;
that question. II is what We win do abou,
silver that confronts us My advice is TO let sill
Der alone, or II we have 10 allude 10 II do 80 In
way that viii not antagoniZe the world. We can
declare for a coinage and TO an extent that viii
meet the needs Of the country; wa can DO con-
sentative; we can keep within bounds. This IL
my view as an individual Democrat, and urge
its consideration upon you gentlemen and Demo
Gratis who are listening. You cannot with safety
antsgonze the moneyed centres. You know the
East win be against us in this matter. The free
or unlimited coinage Of silver is mere shibbo-
ieih. For Gods sake lot us let 1t alone and try
and elect our ticket In 1892
Is IL possible that Mr.. WArTERsoN called
Mr.. CLEVELAND "Mugwumpn?

Glad 10 Hear IL

Hon. o. @. MooRr. member of the last
House of Representatives, said in a re-
cent speech at Lynn, Mass, that "some
far-sighted Republicans, Mr.. BLAINE great
spplause) doubtless among the number,
believed that the best interests Of the Re-
publican party at the South could be ad-
vanced more speedily and surely by
strengthening the interests of protection
and reciprocity in that section than by
any other way"
Mr. BLAINE. in other words, was not in
favor of the force bill. The fact that
HARRrsos favored that bill and BLAINE OPP
posed II is an all-suffseient reason why the
latter and not the former should be nomi-
mated for President by the Republican
National Convention--that Is. il he is him
self willing 10 allow bis name to be used
in that body.

val, Christie of Sunderland, faced Beattie, of
Liverpool. and opened with the routine lila
Beattie tried to form the "White Dyke" but
was prevented by his opponent. who cut 1913
An interesting and critical game ensued. in
which the Sunderland man had the advantage,
but Beattie played carefully, and drew. as the
saying Is, by the skin of his teeth. Christie
next tried the "Single Corner" against Beattie,
and went on the same line as he played against
Jordan the preceding evening. Beattie. how
ever, varied, and an interesting display Of
draughts strategy resulted, in which trap after
trap was evaded by each. After two hours
play, the game was abandoned as drawn. This
finished play for the day.
ResumiDg on Friday Christie again formed
"The Dyke" against Beattie, who tried his IA
vorite move (22l7 with white. The first named
early secured an advantage in position, and this
he SO improved as the play went on that he lat
terly forced o man from his opponent who
thereupon resigned. The second game, in which
Christie formed the "Single Corner" was the
finest example of draughts play in the tourna-
ment and was won By the Sunderland expert
after splendid game, IN which Beattie tried
every maneuver to draw. A third game played
in the evening having resulted in a draw.
Christie won the tie with the score-Christie, 2;
Beattie, 0; drawn, 3. The winner played finely
all through the tournament, in which he won
eight games, lost one. to Horsfall. and drew l9.

might easily amplify these suggestions TO
NIL many columns; but this brief outline may
sufhce at present to point the way. Young
men should seldom seek municipal elective
offices, but they should take an immense inter-
est in seeing that public-spirited and honorable
citizens of middle age. or older men of CON-
parative leisure through retirement from bust
ness, are kept in responsible places.
The clubs should deal patiently and courte-
ously with men and questions, and should Dever
allow zeal for reform to lead them too far from
the spirit of business-like and scientific inquiry
They should never know dlscouragement but
should keep steadily at their business. They
will probably find campaign" times the least
advantageous for the work of steady. vigorous
public education that they ought to undertake.
