Review of the Work of the Repub-
Iican Convention at Fort
Worth.

Iican Convention at Fort
Worth.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. II, 1892.
To the Daily LIGHT
The action of the State Republican
convention In the Endorsement of
Gsorge Clark for governor of Texas
was no doubt q disappointment to
those who had figured out republi.
can maj GRITTY on the strength of the
divisions existing in the democratic
camp, but that action of Endorsement
was the result of the cslmest and
most deliberate consideration on the
part of the delegations here assem-
bled. There was not at any time
after the assembling of the conven-
ton any hope or prospect of nomi-
mating q state ticket. When the
state committee assembled, twenty
four hours before the meeting of the
convention, it was apparent that there
was no intention of putting out q
ticket. This seemed so generally the
sentiment of the committee that
it required no formal declaration
to that effect. The real matter of
controversy was the action to be
taken by the convention in the rela
tion of the repu blican declaration
with reference to the candidates
already in the field This was not on
account of any disregard OF the re-
publican interests of the state. but
because it was considered of the first
moment that Hogg should be defeat
ed and the zeal of republican con-
domination placed on his administra-
ton OF the state government. This
sentiment dominated the convention
from first to last, and manifested
itself on every occasion. Concerning
the convention that hat Just met
in Fort Worth and SO periodically
forgot party in the interest of the
state, this may be said.
Never did a more able, patriotic, OF
enthusiastic convention assemble in
this state than was met in repu blican
convention this week, to take into
consideration the interests of the state
and to consider how best the repubIi.
cans OF the state could discharge thei r
obligations TO their party and redeem
Texas from the evils of Hoggism
That body had no nonsense about it
1t was a hard working body, there
was no Sinking of hard work by any
one. 1t was in the best sense of the
term deliberative body, conclusions
were reached only after long and
careful consideration, and only then
because such conclusion was seen Il
be the best thing possible. 1t wa.
dire necessity that forced the conven
tion to the cOnclu sion that the only
way to save the state ofTexas was The
Endorsement of George Clark for gov
ernor, as the only certain way to de.
feat Hogg. To many who counselleC
such action the alternative was mos
unwelcOme, but their patriotism anC
love of honest, wise and patriotic
state government rose above consid.
erations of party and decided agains
nominating. state ticket.
This decided, and this decision was
practically made before the conven.
ton was organized, for at no TIM
could the vote on a straight ticket havt
commanded more than one third O
the delegates, the real question wal
as to the policy to pursue. Their
were three courses presented and t,

STEPNEY.

We have sometimes read in the news papers about the abandoned farms in New England. No doubt, there are some that have been deserted. The farms are not altogether worn out, but have been simply neglected. Some owners are old and can't work but little, while their boys have sought other employment. The lands are good enough, but must be ''kept up," for one cannot rob the soil and pay nothing back. School houses and school grounds are not always kept as they should be. Many people will say, II have no more children to send to school and, therefore, have no more in- terest.'' This 'sdon't care" was recently more fully illustrated in the Upper Step ney school district. A few persons brought about the appointment of com mittee to invite ''bee,' to cut up the bushes that had overgrown the three acre school lot. The day came, Satur- day, when only five men appeared out of at least 40 heads of families who ought to have been present. Perhaps, when another day is set, more interest will be shown. Let us hope, if farms are aban- doned, the public schools and the school grounds win remain as the best index of other days and, as well, to note the pride of present patrons.

 Mrs Samuel D. Sharp died, Friday. August F, 1892, aged 55 years. Seldom are the living called to witness the buri- al of one so universally regretted as that of this estimably lady, whose death leaves void In the family, her neigh borhood and church, which is not easy to fill. but Jesus called her and her place shall know her no more. Fanny Sharp was daughter of Agur and Hannah Nich- ols. She married Samuel D. Sharp, July 4, 1863 and has had two children, one daughter, who died at 10 years of age, 17 years ago, one son now living, who is about 16. She had been confined only short time to her room with disease of the lungs and died peacefully in the hope of the resurrection. In her casket, which was beautifully decorated with flowers by loving hands, she looked as if asleep. The attendance, both at the house and church, was very large, the church be- ing filled to it's utmost capacity, many standing outside. The bearers were William R. Ferris, Sturges B. Clarke, John W. Waterbury and F. W. Wheeler. The officiating ministers, Rev MT Dixon, assisted by Rev MT Dikeman, former pastor of the M. E. church of East Vil- lage, delivered eloquent discourses at the church, both speaking highly of the de- ceased as sincere Christian and earnest worker in the church and earnestly charging the living so to live, that they may meet her in Heaven. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them."- E.

WASTED SYMPATHY.

At the Judicial convention
held in Shelbina last week, the
following resolutions were adopt
ed:
l. Resolved that we sympathize
with the unfortunate worklngmen
at Homestead Pa, In their trou-
bles and suffering, and extend
them our sincere sympathy.
2. Resolved that we denounce
the Republican sy stem of protec-
ton. that pauperizes the laborer
and makes millionaires of the
manufacturers.
1t is easily seen that the COM
mittee on resolutions had not kept
up with the investigating commit
tee, composed of two Democrats
and one Republican, sent to
Homestead to inquire into the
causes that led to the strike. That
committee found from the pay
roll, the best evidence that could
be furnished, that the lowest wag-
es were $40 per month, and this
amount was paid to boys for shov-
cling cinders eight hours each
day. The wages ranged from $40
per month to 1915. One of the
Democrats on that committee,
after getting al the facts in regard
to the wages paid, exclaimed, 81
never heard of sluch wages before.
Think of boys getting $40 pei
month for light work eight hours
each day. Think of men getting
$50 to 1915 month for employ.

Labor and Law.

Statesmanship consists in pro-
curing such an adjustment of our
inter-social affairs as will make
the labor of our producers ex-
changable for the greatest possi-
bic volume of the necessaries and
luxuries of life, and in providing
the producers with continual
employments, that their continual
wants may be supplied. To this
end, all available employment
should be given to our producers
and no employment should be Civ
Ell to the competitive producers
of other countries by permitting
them to import their products in
to the United States, and offer
them for sale in our markets, in
competition with the products of
American producers. Those Of
our producers who entertain this
belief will cast their ballots for
those who favor the enactment of
adequate Protective Tariff laws.
