COMMISSIONER REAGAN.

Last Sundays daily papers contained the
information that Governor Hogg had ap-
pointed Senator John H Reagan and Hon
l.. L. Foster to the position of railroad
commissioners. and that Senator Reagan
had rendered his resignation as senator.
The vacancy this caused has been filled by
the appointment of Hon. Horace Chiffon OF
Tyler to fill out Senator Reagan's unexpired
term. The third man on the commission
has not been named. The Alliance is de-
manding the appointment of S. D. 4. Dun
can of Dallas, but knowing ones seem to
think that Duncan will not be in it, and
that the appointment will be rendered
Chief Justice Stayton.-[ Flatonia Argus.
Governor Hogs alleged demasogy had
method in it, TO say the least, and his enc
mics are beginning to find out that he has a
way of his own and head on his shoulders
of averagecpoise and resources. His ap-
pointmeut of Senator Reagan 10 the chair
manship of the railroad commission was an
act of patriotic craftsmanship, and the peo-
pie of Texas honor him for il.
Mr.. Reagan may not be the best equipped
man in the state for the service. but it is
generally thought that he is. and the ap-
pomtment meets with well nigh unanimous
approval.
The surprise is that Mr. Reagan gained
his own consent 10 resign the senatorship
for place Of labor and experiment.
The appointment of Horace Chiffon TO
succeed Mr.. Reagan in the senate was de-
cided surprise. but public sentiment is
gradually crystalizlng into popular indorse-
ment.- [StephenviiIe EmpireI
Senator Reagau's appointment as chair
man Of the Texas railway commission

Use your influence to have the meeting of
the Worlds fair convention postponed TO
later date. 1t conflicts with the meeting of
the editors, and as the press convention has
the age Of Fort Worth, May II, call, why
in making the change YOU will not only
honor age, but oblige many editors. Your
representative men can make the change,
and in twenty-four hours after, the whole
state can be appraised and thus you will
avoid any disappointment.-[C orsicana
Courier, April %.
When the convention was called, the
Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce did
not know or think of the editors meet
ing. When the matter was called TO
the attention Of the Chamber it was TOO
late 10 change the date. There was no
time to lose, and the Chamber regrets
what it could net remedy when it
learned that the editors could not be
on hand.

A PRETTY poIrrIcAL MASEUvER.

| The Democratic majority IN the
Michigan legislature are bound 10
make the most OF their advantage.
| They have re-arranged the congress
| sionai districts so as to make seven OF
| the twelve contain majority OF Demo
Gratis, and they have changed the man.
ner of choosing presidential electors
from the general ticket to the district
plan. Each congressional district will
vote only for the elector TO which it is
entitled. Michigan may give u Repub-
lican majority and elect seven Demo-
Gratis to the electoral college, whose
votes will be cast for the Democratic
candidate. Two OF the electors. an
swering 10 the United States senators,
must be chosen by general vote, unless
the legislature shall elect them, which
it has u right to do.
This action of the Michigan Demo-
Gratis may decide the fate OF the presi-
Dental election OF 1892. There will be
444 votes in the electoral college. and
223 will be majority. If the national
election should be very close. and the
Republicans come within two or three
votes OF majority, giving them seven
and the Democrats seven of Michigans
electors, they would have had clear
majority if that state had made no
change in the law governing the choice
of electors.
This is no new thing in our political
history. Most of the states formerly
chose presidential electors by districts.
In many the election was by the legis-
lature. The district system was first
abandoned by Virginia and Massachu-
sets because it divided and weakened
their power in the electoral college.
Those states were, at the beginning of
our constitutional career, the most pop
ulous in the Union, and as they were
always opposed TO each other in polit-
ical contests, each jealousy guarded
its interests and solicited its influence
in the national election by adopting
the general electoral ticket system and
voting as unit. Other states followed
in their lead, and after awhile all Of
them dropped the district system, ex-
cept North Carolina, which chung to it
for fifty years.
Nothing can be said against this ac-
n IA,
be sure. it looks to partisan advantage,
but the system is the fairest one ever
practiced, for it brings the election of u
president closer TO the people. If one
party in Michigan polls 10000 votes
for presidential electors, and the other
165, 900, the larger number will, under
the prevailing system, secure the en-
tire fourteen votes of that state, and
lbs. 900 voters will be as completely dis
franchised as if they had never gone to
the polls. But where the election is BY
districts, each party may count on OBJ
tanning representation in the cleo
toral college proportioned. in a meas
ure, to the popular vote-eXcept where,
as is the case in Texas and Kansas. the
stronger party is SO strong as to carry
all of the congressional districts.
The voting for electors by districts
would have given us Tilden in 1876
without any eight TO seven commission,
for the Democrats had large major
ity of the house OF Representatives
elected that year. The Democrats
would have the advantage in change
TO that system. That is why THE GA
ZETTE thinks well OF it.

government.
You will at once bring to the atten-
ton of the government Of Chilli the
facts as reported to you by Captain
Schley, and will inquire whether there
are any explanations to be offered OF an
event that has very deeply panied the
people of the United States, not only by
reason of the resulting in death of one
of our sailors, and the pitiless wounding
of Others but even more as an apparent
expression of an unfriendliness towards
this government which might put in
peril the maintenance of amicable rela-
tions between the two countries.
If the facts are as reported by Captain
Schley, this government cannot doubt
the government of Chilli will offer full
and prompt PREPARATION. You will fur
nish the foreign Office full paraphrase
of this dispatch. and report promptly to
this government. WHARTON.

Chili's Defiance.

SANTIAGO, Chill, November 2-The
CHILEAN government has replied to Min
lister Egan's demand for an explanation
of the recent attack upon American
sailors.
The reply is couched in very strong
language, and it is understood that it
amounts to refusal to accept RESPONSE
bility for the affair. The state depart
ment at Washington has been notified.
Minister Egan, Commander Schley
and Consul McCreery are consulting to-
gether, and it is thought that decisive
action will be taken soon. The state de-
partment's orders in reference to the
matter are very strong.
The intendente of Valparaiso has re-
fused to guarantee the safety of market
boats coming to that city early in the
morning from the war ship Baltimore,
or the safety of officers of that vessel
coming ashore at night. There is
practical boycott on the Baltimore. No
American sailors are allowed on shore.
Great excitement has been caused here
by report that the CHILEAN legation in
Washington has been attacked.

Chili's Reply.

WASHINGTON. November 1.-THE de
partment of state received this morning
a telegram from Minister Egan dated
Santiago, October %, in which he gives
the following as the reply of the Chill
ian government to the presidents tele
gram of October %, asking PREPARATION
for the recent murder of American sail
ors in the streets of Valparaiso:
Minister foreign affairs replies that
the government of the United States
threats that without being cast back
with acrimony, are not acceptable, nor
could they be acceptable in the present
case, or in any other of like nature. He
does not doubt the sincerity, rectitude
or expertness of the investigation on
board the Baltimore, but will recognize
only the jurisdiction or authority OF his
own country to Judge and punish the
guilty in the Gillian territory. He
says the administrative and judicial au-
thorities have been Investigating af
fairs: that judicial investigation under
CHILEAN law is secret, and the time has
not yet arrived to make known the re-
suit; when that time does arrive he will
communicate the result although he
does not recognize any other authority
competent to Judge criminal cases than
that established by the CHILEAN people.
Until the time arrives to disclose the
result of investigation he cannot admit
that the disorders in Valparaiso or the
silence of his department should appear
as an expression OF unfriendliness to-
wards the government of the United
States, which might put in peril the
friendly relations between the two
countries"
Up to this hour, when the above state
ment was made public, no reply had
been made to it. What will be the ma
ture of Secretary Blaine's reply is alto
gether a matter of conjecture. The
most plausible theory advanced is that
the suggestions courteously and diplo-
matically conveyed in Acting Secretary
Wharton's dispatch, that this govern
ment had no doubt investigation would
be made and PREPARATION afforded, will
now be renewed in the shape of stern
and formal demand for some immed late
assurance of proper action on the part
of the junta, and if these are not forth
coming Minister Egan will take pas
sage on the Baltimore for the United
States, thus severing diplomatic rela-
lions between the United States and

is entitled to the same business recog-

standing than it has during the past
ten years. The enterprising business
men OF Pittsburg, Kansas, have taken
the first step in this line by organizing

eating them away as caterpillars do

where they fasten and increase with

REST FOR THE DUDE.
The Cumbersome Cane Has Gone Out q
Fashion.

The Cumbersome Cane Has Gone Out OF
Fashion.
The really high caste London swell
has "cursed his stick and cast it out,
says the Illustrated American. Swaggcr
Englishmen no longer appear in public
with canes of any description. The col
lection of choice silver-topped and nat.
ural wood weapons they drew mental
snstenance from through SO many sea-
sons has suffered q temporary divorce
from the fashionable toilet. British
manhood is unprotected, and goes empt,
handed on the promenades save for a
glove, possibly, or, in stress of weather,
q fnedium-sized silk umbrella. The
collapse of the stick is attributable to
the wholesale adoption Of imitation
costly canes by the London clerk and
petty tradesman. AIRY, the haber-
dasher, green grocer and draper men
were contented until recently to carry
blackthorns or light rattan. To this
no objection was raised by the aris-
tociats, and all would have gone we'll
had not a sharp American flooded the
market with cheap, flashy copies OF
swelldom's own stick. The result was
intolerable, and hence the universal re-
nnnciation Of canes in upper circles.
The above seemingly irrelevant item
illustrates the present attitude of the
fashionable woman toward the recently
inevitable lorgnette. :
