BREAKERS AHEAD.

The Post justly concludes that the
political situation Is very serious one;
far more serious than many of the
Texas politicians are willing to admit.
The danger to the country that would
result from "row" at Houston can
scarcely be estimated, yet the dele
gates are getting worked up more and
more into the humor for row. The
STATESMAN agrees with the Post that
1t ID time to put aside Wanting
and bravado, and get down to calm
and deliberate work. True, defeat Is
painful to any one, but better that a
faction be defeated than that the
whole country be torn with strife.
The old fable of the cats and the
monkey is about to be exempli-
lied in Texas politics. While
the cats were quarrelling and fighting
over inc ownership of the larger piece
of cheese the monkey ate both pieces.
The Clark and Hogg factions may con-
tinue their fight, each refusing to
yield to the other or to unite on some
other man, until some fine morning
they will wake up to find that Nugent
is governor of Texas and the state has
been betrayed into the hands of the
third panty. Such thing could never
occur except through the failure of
the Texas Democrats to do their duty.
Now, if ever, is the time they should
assert themselves.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

1t is reported that Clark Howell of
the Atlanta Constitution will be a
member of the Democratic executive
committee. No man fought Mr.. Cleve-
land with greater bitterness before
the convention, and no man took his
COW more gracefully after the nomi-
nation was made. ave will stand
together and sweep the country for
Cleveland" was the telegram he sent
to his paper from Chicago, and he
has acted upon that principle ever
since. Incidentally, The STATESMAN
would remark that we need a
great deal more of the Howell
spirit in state as we'll as in national
politics. Too many people in Texas
are bent on nominating their chosen
candidate, no matter if in their efforts
they disrupt the state and injure its
prospects. With them it is not fight
for Democratic principles and on
Democratic lines. II is "Hogg or
bust,n and "Clark or busto with
them. While difference of opinion
is allowable and to be desired, the
truth is that the state could get along
very comfortably without either
Hogg or Clark in the governors chair.
THE STATESMAN earnestly hopes that
all the fighting will be done before
hand, and that when the convention
is over the Hogg men and the Clark
men will go to work together for the
triumph of Democracy and the good
of Texas.

MISS MARINE HARRISON in her
bright little Waco paper, Current
Topics, breaches a whole, long, elo-
quent sermon to the people of Texas
in this paragraph:
About thirty or forty girls will leave
Dallas this fall to attend school in the
Northern and Eastern schools. One
peculiar feature is that about twelve
of these girls will be at Pulaski, Ten
nessee, under the care and teaching of
a lady who was the pupil of and re-
ceived her entire education from a
lady who is now teaching in Dallas.
The text books many Of these young
ladies will study were written by men
who are themselves teaching in the
University of Texas.

The Huntsville Item SAYS :

"THE AUSTIN STATESMAN of Sun
day contains the intelligence by wire
that Trinity county primaries went
for Hogg. 1t has not explained the
telegram which appeared a week
prior from Trinity that "This county
sends Clark delegation to Houston"
however. Does THE STATESMAN
manufacture its own kilograms to
suit its editorial desires?"
The Item must know that the first
report was one of the mistakes such
as are easily made in the hurry of
getting out a daily paper. THE
is not manufacturing re-
turns from the primaries, and if it
were, would begin on more impor-
tant county than Trinity.

without a thorough reorganization
the Democratic party in Texas is at n
standstill. 1t needs rebuilding from
the bottom up. The grand old princi-
pies still remain, but demagogues
hove cotton possession OF it, and are
fighting for their own selfish interests.
If the campaign makes the people
think, and they arise and take
matters in their own hands for a
while, they can restore the Democ-
racy to it's old time glory, but the
thinking implies working too.

Prejudice Of Fools.
Special to The Statesman.
CELESTE, Tex, July 23.-Hon. R.
Q. Mills arrived here on the 1890
train last night He was met at the
depot by the Celeste Cornet band and
Democratic club and escorted to the
Santa Fee hotel. The day seemed
made for the occasion and by o'clock
strings of people in all kinds of ve-
hicles and on foot could be seen wend-
ing their way to the beautiful grove
near town, and by o'clock, the time
for Mills TO begin his speech, there
were fully $4,000 people on the ground
He opened his speech by discussing
free silver and showed where if we
had free coinage of silver we would
not increace the circulation more than
$4,000, 200 per year and it would
benefit no one bat the silver owners.
He then took up the tariff and
showed wherein that would give
greater relief than any other Iegisla-
ton, provided we have a tariff for
revenue only with the government
llO UhOl
paid his respects to the Third party,
discussing the government ownership
of railroads, subtreasury and fiat
money. He said it was utterly i'm
possible for the government to buy
the railroads, and he referred
to the condition France was in
aflel trial of the fiat
money scheme. He also referred to
the doctrine of Jefferson and Jackson.
In speaking of railroads he said it
would amount to confiscation 20 pay
for them with fiat money. He said
that the Third party at Omaha claim
ed that we're nation of tramps and
opposed to national banks, but said
they wanted the government to have
anatiNnal bank in every postsffice for
said tramps to deposit their money.
He left on the p. m. train for his
home in Corsicana.

THE Sunday CLOSING.


The Chicago papers are indignant
over the Worlds Fair appropriation
bill passed by the Senate and but
now under discussion in the House.
They claim that Chicago would ac-
cept no appropriation with Sunday
closing proviso tackled to it, and that
the Senate knew this when it passed
the bill. The STATESMAN is a warm
advocate of all law and order, but it
is firmly convinced that there are two
sides to this Sunday closing question.
1t Is very evident that the closing Of
the fair would not close the thousand
places of amusement and
it looks a little unreasonable
to throw such places wide open tovis-
itors and closeup the fair, where every
hour adds to the information and lib
eral education of the sight seer.
Grant that it might have been
proper to close up the mechanical and |
industrial departments OF tne lalr
where many men are employed. Yet
would such Re ason extend to the de-
partmeuts Of the fine arts and sciences
and to the mammoth exhibits from all
quarters of the world? These would
have been great educators, and in oil,
marble and the vast display of the
wonderful would have hourly been
taught lessons Instructive and elevat-
ng.
All things considered, THE STATES
MAN believes that no one would des-
ecrate the Sabbath through visiting
snch portions of the fair ON that day.
The question is one that should not be
considered too hastily, and might cas-
lily have been kept apart from the
question of the appropriation, which
was necessary to the very honor of
the country.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A D ring Holdup That Melted the Robber
Fifty Cents.

Special to The Statesman.
PALO PINTO, Tex, July 20 "A cool
highway robbery was committed in

wagon saw u masked man standing
beside the wagon with his pistol
thrust in the face of young Crow and
demanding his money Crow imme.
diately gave up what money he had
OH his person, which was only SO cents.
The robbers had secured Mr.. Crows
gun before making their presence
known. They then disappeared in
the darkness, warning them TO keep
quiet and make no pursuit of them.
Mr.. Crow came in town and notified
the officers, who are now in hot pur-
suit of the robbers, with fair prospects
of their capture. A man answering
the description of the highwayman
passed through here early this morn
ing.
Later-The officers have returned
with young man claiming his name
to be j. M. Williamson of Llano
county. He says he was on his way
to the Nation to take up land. While

him, as the robbery was committed in
the night, the officers are satisfied
they have The right man.

MAKING THEM THINK.

The Dallas News believes that this
campaign will be great blessing to
the country If it puts people to think
ing. The difficulty is, the people
must see that the state administration
has wandered very far from the prin-

methods; and seeing this, the people
may begin to think that Democracy
has lived its day and is passing off
the stage. One thing is certain y
