back. Service to party does not
count any more in Texas politics,
but the appetite for pie controls
and it is anything to beat the man

dirt. This is true craftsmanship
of the died-in-the.woo Democratic

Electropoise, which, very much to the graft

has been effected in the last two months. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the Electro

The drouth stricken regions of

even dry San Diego coming in fC r
a rainfall of several inches. The
report says seven inches, but the
affidavit of the man who held the

times as much rain falls in the
same space of time as fell in this
city for three hours on Wednesday
morning, the bottom actually
drops out.

North Texas wants the earth
when it comes to the honors Of a
convention. That section of the
state would draw a line through
the state from east to west, if it
could, and make the south half do
the work and the north half eat
the pie. This is an unequal dis
tribution of labor.

of a majority of the delegates to

THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1894.

There are indications in every
county OF this great state that the
vast body of the people are tired
and wearied to death of Democratic
policies and performances. If the
Republicans of the state had the
wisdom of united effort, and would
once and for all put ignorance to
the rear and let wisdom, discretion,
decency, brains and common sense
rule, there would be an oppOrtuni-
ty before the old party this fall
that would, if improved, tide it
we'll along the highway of state
success. So long as the endorse
ment of a cOlored boss is needed to
give place and hearing to compe-
tent white leadership, so long will
there be a Republican party in
Texas composed of the rag-tag and
bOb-tail element. An element
whose shibboleth is Federal pie
and whose effort is to represent the
party in the national convention
so as to be placed right foot first
for office. Better cut down the
state representation until there is
only representation according to
success achieved, and then it will
dawn upon these party pirates for
pie that Republicanism means
more than the spoils of office.

The first week of August has
passed and the rainfall has already
aggregated six inches for the
month. This is greater rainfall
than has been reported for any
August for the past ten years, with
the exception of 'SS and '92. The
prospect foranother six before the
month is out is good.

There is an overlooking of the

yet the call is for more American

in a Democratic administration Of
this republic, and at the same time
fights with the desperation of per-

lican policies of the Nation. John
is a crank. He wants his cake and
wants it after he has eaten it, and
that's what's the matter.

An AntldOte for IngersOliism.

Editor Times: one who has read Inger-
soil writings can readily imagine That
many who heard his recent lecture in
Richmond were carried away by his how
OF rhetoric. But very few Of them knew,
perhaps, that his arguments have been
demonstrated TO be TOO himsy 10 deceive
any but the most thOughtlcSS listener 10
them. This has been done by Rev. l.. \.
Lambert in little work In which learn
ing, convincing IOgN, pungent Wit and
delicious hum0r are so mingled as to
make il one OF the most entertaining OF
books.
In the authors aands 1ngersol cuts as
sorry q figure as a squealiing mouse I'M
der the paw OF a lion. His own comment
upon the book was: Judge Black and
DR.. Field could not answer me but Lam
bert gave me HI" He never dared to
attempt reply 10 1t. What arc We to
think. then, OF the sincerity or of the
honesty OF a man who carefully eOnceals
from those who pay to hear him attack
the Bible the fact. which he himself
knows perfectly well. that Lambert has
torn every one of his arguments into
shreds?
The little book has gone through scores
of editions and the writer of this notice
Of il has been told that the Young Mems
Christian Association of New York bought
an entire edition at one time for diStribu-
ton. IT convinces all who read IL that
lngersOn is q shallow pretender to a
knowledge Of either history or philosophy
or logic. But IL has not stopped him from
the paying business Of catching gudgeOns
at fifty cents a head. If any good soul
in Richmond is grieving over some friend
who has played the part of the gudgeon.
the best way to get the Devils hook out
Of his gills is TO present him with a
copy of "Notes oh IngersoH," by Rev. l..
\. Lambert. / do not know by whom IL
is published, but ii can be procured, at "a

ton Society Company, y east Seventeenth
