Poet On the Bench.
New York Sun.


New York has a poet on the bench in the
person of Judge Francis NJ. Finch of the
court of appeals, the author of 1.-THE Blue
and the Gray" and it now appears that
Georgia is similarly favored, for the Green
Bay publishes two pieces of verse of no in
considerable merit from the pen of Logan
E. Bleckley, the distinguished chief justice
of the supreme court Of Georgia From
1875 to 1850 he was an associate justice Of
the same tribunal, but in the latter year he
resigned his office in consequence Of Ill
health arising from overwork, and upon re-
firing from the bench he read this poem,
which, after the manner Of legal phraseol-
ogy, he entitled In the Matter of Rest F"
"'Rest for hand and brow and breast
For the fingers heart and brainl
Rest and peacel a long release
From labor and from pain
Pain II doubt, fatigue, despair,
Pain OF darkness everywhere,
And seeking light in vain
Peace and restl Are they the best
For mortals here belowi
Is soft repose from WORK and woes
A bliss Tor men to knowi
Bliss Of time is bliss Of toll;
No bliss but this, from sun and soil
Does God permit 10 grow
SIT is satisfactory to know that the suthor
of these melodious lines was able TO re-
sumo judicial work at the head of the su-
preme court Of Georgia in 1877, and that
his fitness for the place is universally
recognized by the bar and the people of the
statsn

The effort to put Kansas wheat and
-four in Texas on the freight schedules
given to home products viii not prove
successful if the railroads have care
for public sentiment here. Such con-
cessions to foreign products have done
more than all other things to create
feeling in Texas against railroads.
Upon one thing the people of Texas
are thoroughly determined: that pro-
lection shall be accorded to the home
market and to the home producer.
Texas for Texans is the idea in the
minds OF the people, however they may
express it, and it will fare hardly in
the end with all who cross that pur-
pose.

: THE Glen Rose Herald objects that
THE GAZETTE did not print report
that the state Democratic executive
committee Of Georgia had issued an
address in favor of Cleveland, and asks,
"Why didn't the Hillsette print that?"
The main reason is because THE GA
zETTE prints only news as news, and
the Herald's statement is pure imagin-
alton. The Democratic state executive
committee of Georgia, on poll, stood
Is for Hill to for Cleveland. The ad-
dress which suggested the Herald's
question was issued by club in At
lanta formed as forlorn hope, to fight
the FREEDOM inant sentiment in the state.
The most OF the political leaders of the
state are for Hill. and not one Of them

views win fade into insignifcance when the
''barefooted Democracy is heard from.
The Cleburne Enterprise asks permission
to ask simple question: "Are Hogg and
Clark the only two men who would make
good governorsln
Plow and Hammer asserts that "Col. 7.
]. Brown would make tip-top governor"
The Stephenville Monitor says: Those
who think Hogg and the commission dead
will be reminded OF their mistake before
the campaign closes.n
The velasco World is holding down a
place in the Clark column.
The Kerrville Paper sees in Judge Clark
'the Jim Blaine of Texas politics."
The Hico Courier says the supporters of
Clark had better do all their laughing be-
fore the convention meets.
The Del Rio Record says sunless the stu
alton changes materially" Hogg will be
re-nominated.
The Uvalde Herald credits to the good
things done by Governor Hogg the fact
that che disappointed his most enthusi-
astic admirers
The Kerrville News thinks that given a
fair chance Clark would ''soon knock the
pith out of the commission"
The Baird Star, Mills paper, admits
that ''Old Dave Culberson is developing
considerably more strength than was ex-
pected."
The Orange Tribune illustrates the char
acter of the News interviews by the state
ment that the men interviewed in its
county were, with but one or two ex-
ceptions, Cook men in the campaign two
years ago."
The Whitesboro News says: 1.-THE tim
Der to beat Clark has yet to be grown,
hewn and polished for the purpose"
The Marlin Ball announces for Clark,
Texas, progress and prosperity"
The Sherman Register wants "a new
dealn
The Houston Post dissents from the
views of both Clark and Hogg, and favors
commission with no power to. make rates,
but with ''power to prevent unreasonable
rates, and to see that they are fairly ad-
iusted and without discrimination against
persons and places, and to prevent and pun
ish rebates and other abuses in railroad
management"
The Commerce Journal says: ''The very
thought of q rank anti-commission man
making the race for governor on an elective
commission platform is enough to make a
dog sick in a slaughter house. "
The Del Rio Record dominates DR.. Yam
dell for governor. Texas editors appreciate
DR.. Xandell at FL Paso, particularly when
an excursion to Mexico is to be planned,
however useful he might prove at Austin.
The Denison Herald declares "Hogg
sentiment is as scarce as hens teeth around
Denison, but unfortunately, for more
reasons than one, all of Texas is not like
Denison."
The Pamela Waterman says Clark will
find out that the railroad commission is an
issue when the people ''set down on him
with dull thud."

TO OUR DALLAS ADVERTISERS.

The GAzETTE's advertising patrons
in Dallas should not be misled by the
recent frantic tin horn display of an
esteemed contemporary. The new
train put on by the Texas and Pacific
enables the Dallas papers to catch two
freight trains and go with THE GA
zETTE to only two towns where the
Dallas papers did not go before with
THE GAZETTE. Only this and nothing
more, and what the Dallas paper has
not accomplished in years of travel with
The GAZETTE, it cannot accomplish
by Chinese gong beating. Dallas
patrons of THE GAZETTE should not
be deceived.

The row in Illinois between Palmer
and Morrison suggests if there is any
force ir'the objection that few peo-
pie in New York prefer Cleveland to
Hill, it may be necessary to go to Yer
mont for a Democratic presidential
candidate. If the party is after man
who has aroused no opposition of any
sort, it could probab bly, find him there.

IT is humiliatiug to see that the senti-
ment in favor of Hill is growing every day,
but it is a fact, nevertheless. His popu-
larity exceeds that OF any other man in the
Democratic party, with the possible excep-
ton of Col Bob Fitzsimmons.-[ Globe

popularity. That eminent Republican,
Col. Peter Maher, is not half so badly
mashed up as is the New York con-
tingent Of his party.

Mr.. GOULD will pass through Fort
Worth on his return from the West to
New York, reaching here, probably,
one day next week. For sanitary
reasons, it is to be hoped he will stop

a Union depot for the center of his
Southwestern possessions.

FOLLOWING its attack upon the char
acter of Senator Colquitt because of his
friendship for Hill, the New York
Times opens its columns to Galveston
ibels concerning THE GAZETTE. AS
the only way the Times can give GER
tifcate of good character is to violently
assault it, this is accepted as one of the
highest compliments recently paid The
GAZETTE.

The railroad commission doesn't
seem to interfere with railroad build

is, that money is, after two years,

The st. Louis Republic, assuming to
speak for Texas. says it is for Cleve-

general political situation.

THE New York Times honors Sena-

favor Hill. 1t will soon be so
that every Democrat whose integ-

A NEWSPAPER which has recently

THE anti-free coinage section of the
Democratic party is g God deal smaller
than the protection contingent used to
be. If the tariff question had been
thrust aside to conciliate this element,
about all that would have remained of

cence. Great parties are not kept up
in such a craven way.

A PIMA FESTIVAL.
Queer Indian Tribal Ceremonies in
Arizuna.


Arizuna.
The great Pima Indian feast and
dance called 'Phas-ta," has been in
progress during the past three days at
the town of Comat a-nachchu (below
the ridge), Is miles southeast OF Phoenix,
on the Gils river, says the Arizona Re-.
publican.
The Phas-ta is one of the relics of bar
barism handed down by legend, like.
wise by annual celebration, and COM
memorates the return of mighty war
riors, flushed with victory. 1t lasts
from four to six days and con-
cludes with war dance. The
last day of the Phasta is called
Training day." great variety of ex-
ercises of novel and unique nature
occupy the time both day and night.
The young bucks and equaws, however,
spend much of the time in dancing,
while the elder warriors and old men sit
around the magic circle and applaud the
festive scions.
The music is OF droll character and
fills the patriotic breast of the noble red
man with love of gore and glory. The
nail-keg drum, made by stretching raw
hide over telescoped cask, beats ex-
cellent time, and is assisted by 100
voices in the desert choir.
Besides dancing. regular dramas are
played and in pantomime the Indian ex-
cells his paler brother The Hunter and
the Deer is favorite play and the
skilled comedians would make Thomas
j. Keogh or Gus Williams vigilant for
their honors.
A booth is constructed of posts, poles
and brush, in which the "Devit with
His Fog Horn" sends forth blast oc-
casionally which chills the blood in the
veins of teDderfeet or gringos, bat no
one except the heetest of warriors dare
enter, and then they dart out again like
a scared swift tor fear his satanic
majesty will lay hold on him with bis
vice-like grasp. This demon is supposed
to be Hercules in strength, and is in
fact an unusually spry Indian.
Another interesting feature which oc.
ours on Thanksgiving day is the footrace
by from 40 to 100 Young warriore. The
distance run is $50 yards, end they
choose off in two sides, placing hall OF
eitner force at each goal They then run
by line measure, tLat is, two at time,
and when one has reached the goal the
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-10

next man on his side starts back and is
followed by his competitor as soon as
number two reaches the goal. The race
is ended when man on either side gets
one-third the distance ahead. Some.
times these races last for hours and are
adjourned till next day like deadlock
in convention, but at other times a
swift runner scoops the honors early in
the race.
Today is the last day of the annual
Phas-ta During this Phas-ta from 1000
to 1000 Indians are assembled and bands
OF painted young braves are commits.
stoned to run to neighboring towns,
bearing greetings and congratulations
Some OF the pantomimes are weird in
the extreme, as the sylvan nymphs and
painted braves choose the still hour of
midnight for their production and dance
round the charmed circle and bright
campfire like demons from the neither
world,
