Progressive Politics.

While we have always believed in
strict party lines and cherished sacred
ly the principle that rewards should
always 60 to the faithful in a political
as well as martial victory, yet we
cannot help admiring the generous
element which pervades the modern
spirit of political or partisan reform.
The acknowledged head Of this school
on the Democratic side is President
Grover Cleveland, and while we have
at times been forced to lament his lem
iency of action, yet we have always
been forced to sincerely admire his ev-
ident honesty of motive as well as the
nobility of purpose which has prompt
ed those acts on his part. In discuss
ing This subject, an able writer and
undoubted Democrat has this to say
in favor of Mr. Cleveland's position on
the political questions Of the day:
"If the Democratic party would
broaden and deepen its hold on the
confidence of the whole nation it must
abandon all narrowness and exemplify
in its conduct towards all who sympa-
thize with its aims liberal ard cor
dial spirit. Under existing conditions
to insist that only old-line Democrats
shall have consideration or opportuni-
ty Of service will operate to lessen
confidence rather than to increase il.
On the new issues of present and fu-
ture politics all are Democrats who
support Democratic principles, and
only those are foes who oppose these
principles"

THE SPRING RACES.

We are authorized to announce that
an effort will be made by the private
citizens of Texarkana, beginning with
to-day, to arrange for spring races in
this city. The gentlemen who are at
the head of the movement propose, if
the citizens will subscribe five hun
dred dollars toward the meet, that
they will go ahead and get it up in
irst-class style, depending upon the
gate receipts during the three days Of
the races to complete the amount nee
essary to offer in purses, they, of
course, to assume the responsibility of
the fair.
Cotton up on the scale proposed by
these gentlemen, the races would
prove an excellent and beneficial as
well as inexpensive, affair, as the
amount Of $500 can easily be raised,
if our citizens will contribute even a
triile each. Let us have the races by
all means. They will serve to enliyen
our coming fall fair and increase the
public interest in its welfare aud con
tinued existence. The races, so far as
their conduct is concerned, will be
placed under the supervision Of the
officers of the Texarkana Fair Asso-
cation, who will select the judges,
award the purses and otherwise con-
troll the event. Messrs. d. p. Hal
comb, r. b. Harrison and other we'll
known horsemen are out to-day with
the list, taking subscriptions to the
fund of $500, which is necessary to
the consummation of the project.
We hope they will find no trouble
in raising the required amount.

Lillian Lewis.

The popular emotional actress, Lii
liam Lewis, is the next attraction to ap-
pear at Ghio's opera house. She will
give a matinee and night performance
on March 10Th.
The New York Times says of her;
"Miss Lewis is handsome as well as
graceful--her acting was perfection,
and the applause which greeted her
was Of sufficient nature to assure her
hearty welcome. The company was
strong, especially Whitecar and Gus
tavus Levick. The costumes and
scenery called for plenty Of admira-
ton, and the Standard Theatre was
crowded with an audience which
thoroughly enjoyed the play, and
which gave vent to lis feelings by con-
tinuous applause. 'Iady Liz is the
hit Of the season. The play Is worth
great deal of money and should
make both Lillian Lewis and Law
renee Marston rich"

Acknowledged GUILT.

perpctrated upon the government Of

ly, by the once great and honored
men who were best known to fame as
the projectors of the most gigantic

which is tantamount to full confes-
