DEMOCRACY a SECOND CHOICE.

At the late meeting OF the Texas
State Grange Congressman Long was
named as q candidate for the office OF
master OF the Grange. The objection
was made that Mr.. Long was filling q
political Office, and If it should turn out
that the Grange took position op-
posed to that Of the Democratic party,
Mr.. Long could not represent the in
terests OF the Grange Mr.. Long set
tied this objection by the emphatic an
nouncement that as between the
Grange and the Democratic party, he
was a Granger and would be found
loyal to that order
That is all right for Mr.. Long and
the Grange, but the Democrats OF his
district, who are not Changers, win
perhaps object. They elected him to
congress as a Democrat, and they will
doubtless demand that he shah act as
Democrat or cease to call himself
one. There is now no prospect OF any
contest between the Grange and the
Democratic party, for they are pretty
well agreed on political questions, but
the best friends often fall out, and there
is always the possibility OF rupture Of
the existing pleasant relations Of the
Grange and the Democracy. And it is
not pleasing to loyal Democrats to hear
the man whom they have honored as
their national representative boldly
avow that their party is his second
choice, which he is willing to deny at
the bidding Of an order to which ne be-
longs. AS long as MIR. Long prefers
the Grange to his party, mis- party is
very likely to prefer some good Demo
crat to Mr.. Long-one on whom they
can place their faith when trouble
comes IN.

a NEW FORM OF THE CHINESE CUES



Tt IS well known that Cinnamon

Mexico by watching their opportunities

poins q thing very easily done.
When caught, as they sometimes are,
they are sent back to China Recently
the customs officials al Port Huron,
Mich, captured Chinamaa that had
succeeded ia smuggling himself over
from Sarnia, Canada, in defiance Of the
exclusion act. The officials were about
to start the Acknowledged son of Confu-
cius back to the land Of his forefathers.
when the British minister at Washing
ton stepped in with u remonstrance,
claiming that the Chinaman was a bona
tide resident OF her majesty's dominion
OF Canada. and. as such. was not amen
able ID the law. as are those newly ar
rived from China.
The attitude OF d British minister
championing the cause OF a rat-eating
Chinaman, merely because he spent z
few months in a Canadian laundry, is
superlatively ridiculous. There would
be nothing surprising in it if the pur-
pose OF the Federal officials was TO send
the Chinaman back to Canada. But no
such preteXt as that was possible, for
he was TO be returned to the celestial
empire, and not to Canada The Brit
ish minister must be hard up for some
thing 10 wr2ngle over and quarrel with
Uncle Sam about, when he throws the
strong arm OF the British law about a
Chinaman caught in the very act Of
breaking into this country in violation
OF law which forbids his coming, I'M
der pains and penalties. One would
think that John Bull has dis
putes enough to settle with this
country without adding to the
number by trumping UP such
such ridiculous questions as this last
one. He would do well to get rid OF
the seal question and the Canadian
fishery dispute before aggravating Jon
athan with more new-fangled quibbles

Gen. T. NJ Clark, Secretary, Fort Worth, Tex:
DEAR SIR wired you tonight to ship
ad vertising matter to Chicago, having just
received your favor, 10th. You will
please remember that we hurried out of
the state, with no other object than to full
fill your telegraphic engagement with Sec
rotary Martin at Virginia, Ills, and it was
by the hardest work that we arrived there
ut noon of the 9Th inst, as ! had written
that we would do. As they expected us on
the Sd, having laid their sidetrack and i'll
vited Governor F'ifer to meet US on
that day. Until we had arrived there
we could not intelligently map out
an itincrancy. Now wehave made
an exhibit. Governor Hubbard was
introduced by Senator Palmer. Our repu-
tation is established as an attraction by the
daily press OF St. Louis and Chicago. We
we now have no lack of invitations to at
tend the best district state fairs of the
Northwest We can now select, from the
best, and will hereafter keep you fully in
formed as to where to send lad matter
or exhibits. For the next two ~ weeks
we have arranged to receive everything at
Chicago, III. / wish here to personally,
through you, to thank the Chamber of Com
merce" for the splendid exhibit furnished
US at Fort Worth, and to recommend Mr..
Lon Graham, who you wisely appointed to
prepare the same, for the very efficient
manner in which he did the work and the
artistic skill displayed by him. His grass
widow" is a never-ending source of amuse-
ment to thousands of visitors, ana the
words Fort Worth, " so prominently dis
played III cap letters, is universally ad-
mired. Fort Worth is doubly represented,
as Mr. Wilkinson, with his Rio Grande car,
Is with US, making train OF exhibits" 81
which any Texan may be proud, and which
are universally admired. Would be pleased
to near from you through the chamber of
commerce or personally at any time.
Governor Hubbard speaks tomorrow at
the statehouse, with Governor Fifer to in
troduce him, Ex-Governor Oglesby and Sen
ator Palmer on the platform.
This week we have visited three large
gatherings of illinois farmers, y with such
speakers as Governor St. John, Mrs. Gouger
and Senator PETER as attractions, but the
Texas exhibit and speakers have in every
instance overshadowed them all Very
truly, w. B. SLossoN.

ALLIANCE PRESIDENT POLK's plan
OF capturing the national congress is a
good one. The state and county Offices
are of little value 10 the Alliance. ex-
cept TO those members who want to en-
Joy them. All Of the alleged reforms
that the Alliance calls for can be had
only by national legislation, and in
order to get that legislation an Alliance
majority in congress must be elected,
also an Alliance president who will not
defeat such legislation by veto. Yes,
the plan Is a good one. The plan OF
the mice 10 bell the cats was a good
one, 100. The only thing about it that
offered any trouble was getting the
bells on the cats.

British subject. He was nonresident
of Canada, and was in contemplation of
British and American law as much a
Chinaman as though he had Just landed
from Canton. Suppose the British
minister's contention be valid one,
what is to prevent millions OF China
men from sojourning for few weeks
or months in Canada or Mexico, and
then hlocking into the United States?
Nothing whatever. Such construc-
ton OF international law, or of treat
ies-under whichever authority the
claim is made-would make OF the
British minister in this country an en-
igration agent OF the Chinese empire
for colonizing the hordes of that coun-
try in the United States contrary to the
expressed will OF the people, and the
letter OF the law. What could be more
preposterous than that? And it is

questions pending between himself and
Uncle Sam. Does John think Sam is a
sucker?

what is said:

But, undoubtedly, the ailment generally
passes for eXcruciating inflammation OF the

life becomes in degree burdensome. But
there are certain things most persons in

THE GAZETTE, without any bravado,
now desires to serve on all who sue it
for libel hereafter. That notice is this:
The people OF Texas have refused to
enact q libel law, and papers must pro-
tect themselves; therefore, when men
sue THE GAZETTE for libel they must
be sure that they have regulations to

fight every such suit up to the court OF

the reputation which THE GAZETTE is

will find it and show it up in the court

THE GAZETTE never yet wantonly
injured any man, and it now proposes
