TEXAS NEEDS A BUSINESS
GOVERNOR.

The revenue balance in the state
treasury on April Z, 1893 amounted TO
$92s, OO2 SO. That, with the entire rev.
euues of 1893 "a, amounting to about
$2,lj0,OO0 has vanished and the state
treasury is compelled toissue warrants
that the banks wont discount.
Contemplating these facts, does not
the conclusion force itself upon every
patriot citizen that Texas needs a bus
mess governor? Does anyone suppose
THAI if John d. Mccall
had been governor that such a
lamentable condition of affairs would
or could have existed rs we are forced
to acknowledge does exist today? Oh,
no, if John d. Mccall had been gov"
ernor for the last two years no such
blunders would have been made as
these that have landed the state treas
urv of Texas in the slough of de-
spond.H Ii Mccall had been governor
and the legislature had accepted his
recommendations the treasury OF the
state today would have been
riding the crest OF the highest
wave OF financial prosperity, and
Just as certain a. you live John is "a
coming head up and the longest
jumps YOU ever saw.
Mccall is n trained state fuaucier
and sound business Democrat Who
can contemplate our present distress
ing condition and refuse to vote for
delegates to the convention who will
nominate John d. Mccall for govern
or? John Mccall is about the
only available man since Sui
Ross refuses TO run that can cement
the Dallas peace between the two
wings o. the party, and when he gets
there he will make a daisy governor.
Business, and nothing but business
rom the day OF his inauguration until
lis term expires. That is the kind OF
man that Texas must have as gov
ernor 10 unravel for us these tangled
threads OF finance and put us where
we were when Hogg was inaugurated.

currencies of the world, but quite
otherwise, and are organizing all over
the country to settle the question by
international agreement, has elimi-
mated that question as bone
of contention in the Democratic
marty, and we believe that the poll
tician who attempts TO thrust it into
the state canvass is demayogue IN
worthy Of the confidence and trust OF
his party. That may be qualified
with the assertion that men may
grow so old that they are easily in
fluenced by any hobby, but that is
the only excuse for such men, who
are attempting 70 divide and disrupt
the party in Texas.
Judge Clark pleads in mis- letter
confession and avoidance. He say5
he had been taught for many years by
Judge Reagan and others of mis- ilk
that the free and unlimited coinage
of silver was a cardinal Democratic
doctrine. and that he was foolish
enough to believe it without investi-
CATION, believing Judge Reagan I'M
maculate; but in 1892 when NJ Cleve-
land was nominated as an avOwed
opponent of free and unlimited COIN
age by a convention which refused
to make tree coinage q test
by an overwhelming majority, ne
was compelled 20 investigate it AID
found that he had been deceived and
that free and unlimited coinage had
never been Democratic doctrine and
that he then and there parted COIN
pany with Judge Reagan.
1t makes no difference TO US wnen
Judge Clark abandoned the heresy
he was led into by his confidence in
the Democracy OF Judge Reagan. We
know where he stands now and we
also know that under any circum-
stances free and unlimited coinage of
silver could not he state but ma
tional question, and as we feel conf
dent that even as national question
it has lost its force and that the Dem.
ocrstic party are proceeding through
their financiers to settle it by inter-
national pOhcy, we regard Judge
Reagan's course as unnecessary and
fatal to the autonomy Of the Demo-
cratic party CT Texas and in direct
opposition to the agreement between
the two wings of the party in the
Dallas conference.
On the other hsnd the people
of Texas know that Judge
Clark is faithful and loyal to that
agreement and that while he desires
to preserve harmony in the party in |
Texas he is faithful and loyal to the |
national Democratic platform and the
national administration.

If THE grief manifested by ram
many at the resignation OF Croker
was not so pathetic it wonld be Iudl-
crous. Take Elk Speaker Su'zer as an
illustration. When the general COM
mittee of Tammany held a session Of
mourning over the resignation OF the
great man. EX-Speaker SuIzer, with a
most lugubrious pbysiognomy rose
and said: II can hardly
express to you tonight the
the thoughts that veil up from my
soul, cannot hope to express the sor-
row of every true and loyal Democrat
in the city of New York at the action
of Mr.. Croker" 1t is doubtful
whether a New York politician has a
soul, but if he has it is quite certain
that he has no grief to well up from it
when another politician resigns po-
sition that he wants with all his
heart, mind. soul and body.

JUDGE CLARK'S SURREJOlNDER
TO JUDGE REAGAN'S RE
IOINDER.

We are very much disposed to treat
Judge CIark's answer to Judge Res
gan's letter as we did the latter's let
ter to Judge Clark. We can not see
now the former political expressions
of Judge Clark or Judge Reagan eff.
feet the present condition of politics
in this state, and we are therefore
more concerned to know how each of
these gentlemen stand "now" upon
the issues OF the day However, we
do not consider Judge Reagan's hob
by, the free coinage of silver, a live
issue in any partisan sense.
The fact that has been lately demon.
strated that the opponents in the
Democratic party of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver are not OPP.

This morning announces that Lillian
Russell has separated from her most
recent husband, Sig. Perugini They
quarreled seriously in Philadelphia a
short time ago, and last night at the
theatre in Brooklyn where she was
singing in Girofe, and Miss Russell
stated that she and her husband had
permanently separated. They still
remain members of the same company.

In THE face of recent developments
the only hope for Texas Democracy is
to run John Mccall for governor upon
purely business platform, eliminat-
ing from the canvass all contentious
issues. John Mccall is Democrat,
but he has been too busy to mix up
and become involved in entangling
and disturbing issues. We must have
man of a clear business head to get
us out of the difficulties we are now
in concerning our state finances.

EVANSVILLE, Maryland was the
first, and we believe the only place
that adopted the Henry George theory
of the single land tax in modified
form. COxey's army descending upon
it will give it taste of attempted in
nOvation upon old ideas of govern
ment. The people of Evansville
ought to be liberal enough to try all
the theories and give Coxey a chance
to develop.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
wears was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treas
ment, pronounced it incurable'
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., is the

IT is getting to be that the political
races Of the country are not run on
courteous and fair discussions of prin-

Temple street Christian Church.

The pastor, Rev. A. O. Smither,
preached to full house in the morning
on The Empty Grave. citing the evil
dence in proof of this most wonderful
event in history and giving the signif-
canoe OF this event in its relation to
the race.
The church house was very prettily
decorated for the services.
In the evening the pastor preached
upon The Operation of the Holy Spirit
in Conversion, arguing that in CONVEX
sion the Holy Spirit wrought through
the fundamentally of the word OF God,
either as recorded in the Bible or as
embodied in the lives of Christians. No
conversions are ever effected without
this word. This doctrine, the speaker
argued, was not only in harmony with
the teaching of the word OF God, but
was in perfect accordance with the
teaching OF common sense, which ia at
the basis of ali theology. A man ia not
a machine or passive instrument, to be
wrought upon by the spirit OF God, but
is creature of intelligence and choice
aud can only be influenced by an appeal
to his intelligence. In this manner his
conversion ia wrought by the spirit of
the living God.

The popularity of this church was
we'll attested by the crowds which
fiacked to all the services held there
yesterday. The church was filled at the
early eucharist at q. M, and at the
1880 service many could not gain ad-
mission. The service for the Young
Women's Christian association at 4
O'Clock again crowded the church, and
at the last service at 8 p. m. the build
ing was again full. The music at St.
Johns 10 OF very high order, and is
rendered by large vested choir OF over
thirty voices.
The music was particularly fine, the
Te Deum by King Hall, the offertory
anthem, composed by Frederick Steven
con, the director Of st. Johns choir, the
Kyrie Bene dictus, Agnus Del and
Nicene Greed by Monk, being sung with
excellent effect. The rector, Rev. B.
w. r. Tayler, preached in the morning
from l. Corinthians, XIV So, 81, 55, and
explaine ed the Christian doctrine OF the
resurrection OF the dead. Easter day is
the festival OF the resurrection, and st.
Paul in this chapter assures us OF our
resurrection. He tells US how Christ
died according to the scriptures, was
buried and rose again the third day
from the dead. How he was seen by
many brethren, OF whom over $50 were
alive at the time he wrote his epistle
and could certify they had seen the
risen Lord with their own eyes.
The apostle goes on to show how the
resurrection of Christ is q pledge of our
resurrection, and, anticipating that ma
terialistic philosophy would ask ques-
tions about the mode of our resurrec-
tion, proves his argument by the
analogy of the decay OF a grain of
wheat being necessary before it's vital
principle could spring into the highest
possibilities of its existence. There
need be no violation OF the principle
that out of death comes life when that
principle concerns mans natural life !;
for from this natural man is evolved
through those processes which we call
death and dissolution, the glorifed and
spiritual man. Our Saviour uses the
same analogy when He says: Except q
corn (grsin) OF wheat fall into the ground
and die it abideth alone; but if it die,
it bringeth forth much fruit"
Our glorifed bodies need not consist
OF the same material particles which
now make up our body. The scriptures
which tell OF the resurrection do not
cay that. For we know that these par.

East Los Angeles Baptist.

The church was Hastily but not elab-
orately decorated with appropriate
Easter emblems. The choir rendered
some beautiful anthems. The pastor,
Rev. Geo. E. Dye, preached from the
words, And with great power gave the
apostles witness OF the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus. He said that Chris
tianity rests upon fact and not fancy !;
upon person and not pretext.
Easter is certainly the time of the re-
surrection. The vernRl equinox ie past
and mature wears a universal smile. I"
In the celebration of the glad event let
us not worship forms and talk platitudes
but worship a living Christ. Lst us de-
throne death and enthrone life. We
worship not a crucifix but a living
Savior. "If Christ be not raised your
faith is vain." Baptism followed the
sermon.
At night Rev. DIR. Thomson, secretary
OF the Sunday League of America, de-
livered powerful and interesting lee
ture on The Dangers That Threaten Us.
He said that Sabbath keeping was es-
sential to the success of a nation. By
one day OF rest man rises to be nobler
in morals and better from q physical
standpoint. One day of reat promotes
longevity. Man is not simply a machine
for toll he ia also thinker. He must
forget work and have time to think.
Intellectual men should cease to think
along professional lines, and, like Glad
stone, lay aside the cares of study and
rest by charge.
At the worlds fair Mr.. Thomson OBJ
served that Rs the, nation recognized
day of rest there was multiplicity of
invention. The observance of the day
of rest elevAtes the home. promotes love
and charity, enhances the interests of
the state and elevates the tone of morals
in state and nation. The constitution
of the United States recognizes the priu-
ciple of Sunday rest for the president
and the supreme court, and the princi-
pie Of equal rights should guarantee it
to every man. woman and child. The
lecture abounded with good points, and
was greatly appreciated by the large su-
dience.

@ rist the Lord is Risen Today, and the
offertory was HsndePs | Know That NY
Redeemer Liyeth, sung b. Miss Good
win. The pastor, Rev. Arthur Rider,
preached from the text: "Who ehall
roll US away the stone? And the stone
WAS rolled away" This question of the
woman has become the symbol of all the
sighs OF humanity in its longings for the
revelation of the resurrection. The
stone OF doubt lay on the whole realm of
the dead. I'll man die shall he live
again ?' was the question in substance
which arose in every age and land.
There had, as yet, been no answer that
removed their doubts; and now He who
had Bpokeh strange words of @ resurrec-
tion lay white and cold ia the tomb,
and the stone covered him; and with
Him it shut in all the worlds hone OF
resurrection. And humanity with all
its yearnings after immortality was
speaking in that question: "Who shall
-oll us away the stone?"
The stone was also a type OF the
weight OF sin, which sought to crush
Him through life, and now sought to
restrain Him from rising again; and
this stone was indeed very great"
The penalty OF law broken by humanity
He had assumed, and it lay like an in
finite weight upon the grave.
Men could take away the stone from
the grave of Lazarus but this stone with
all the weight OF the mysteries of an
other life which it covered, with ali the
penalty OF the worlds sin which it rep
resented was very great and must be
rolled away by heavenly power.
''An angel OF the Lord descended from
heaven and came and rolled back the
stone from the door ald cat upon it,"
The stone now rolled away revealed an
empty tomb. When men open a tomb
they find the shriveled occupant, but
when God opens the tomb it is seen to
be vacant. He thus would show us by
this empty tomb that the grave ia not a
dungeon but passage way into the life
hereafter. Our friends are not in the
grave imprisoned but they pass through
it into the world beyond. To you who
ssd-eyed would steal away in the twi-
light Of your own sorrow and dieappoint-
menS, to emhalm with fragrant memory
your loved dead, to you is this resurrec-
ton message. HE is not here" The
grave is empty. Nothing is so sad to
the world as q grave. Nothing was 30
bright to the disciples as the grave va-
cant. So God turns the en- blsm OF death
into token of life.
