1t is a gratifying sign OF the
probity of the Republican party
hat, their enemies being judges,
there is little fear Of any partisan
ship in disposing of the half a
hundred election contests to come
up in the approaching Congress,
which is so overwhelmingly Re-
publican. This opinion is voiced
in nearly every state and among
the most partisan OF Democratic
papers. 1t is an appreciated testi-
mony to the fairmindedness OF Re-
publicans when entrusted with the
decisions of questions in which as
party they are personally inter-
ested.

The Bismarcks are by no means

young scion Of that family is to be

The Senate of Tennessee is halt
ing on the threshold Of that steal,
fearful Of perfecting it.
Tennessee is plainly informed at
Washington that If she steals the
governorship there will be no APP
preparation to aid her in celebrat-
ing her centennial. She will be
old enough in sin to go alone.
The resignation of the late
French president is one of those
Lord Dundreary conundrums that
occasionally arise in the best regu-
lated nations and for which there
is no assignable reason.
France has much to learn from
the Republicanism of this Nation,
but it is equally true that this Re-
public can learn no little from the
French. She can learn a lesson
Of official non-partisanship.
Cleveland would be as happy as
a clam If only condition confront

knee deep with theories, any one

the administration in a day.
That mystery of iniquity con-

days, the scum rise to the top and
the body at large grow all the

Hurry and cunning have both
long legs, but they never overtake

CAMPAIGN SONG.

ITO THE TUNE OF CASTLES IN THE AIR. y
Bryan is running around. wearing out his
boots,
Running for fifth term. which still
hangs in great doubts;
Shiverng at the thought of losing all his
gains,
The city now has money, and he'd like
to hold the reinS.
Ambition is his watchword, to handle the
city'S cash,
And I'd serve you in the future as
have done in the past.
Soon I'd deal our your sewer fund, as
did the City hall;
The garbage money and the school fund
would not be there at all.
The two per cent bond money would just
go like the last;
| would serve you in the future as l
have done in the past;
| could have your streets paved, II could
he'd the plot,
And could carry out the vouchers, In
the name of Walter Scott.
Yours, WALTER SCOTT.

The man who marries for money
should be left with the bag to hold.
There is some excuse in this day,
when money alone makes the mare
60, for a poor girl or a destitute
widow to marry for home and a
plethora of spot cash, but for male
biped to marry in order that he
may live upon the accumulations
of his girls parents, stamps him a
cad of the first degree. If all such
men were treated as the fellow in
New York was, whose three million
dollar wife left him without a dol.
lar at her death, it would be all the
better for the world. Fancy the
children that would be born Of
such a combination of mud and
money. What use under the sun
would they be to society? What
brains could you expect from such
a union, what moral sense, what
affectional quality? Bah!

That bill raising the age Of con-

fourteen years. This is about all

The public official who resigns
his position in the face of a polIti-
cal crisis is as justly chargeable
with cowardice as the army officer
who resigns in the face of the enc
my. AS there is law Furnishing
and disgracing the latter, so there
should be some method Of voicing
the public condemnation OF the
former. To leave the public SER
vice at critical time, placing it's
in terest in jeopardy, is certainly a
crime against effective government
and public order and should be
punished.

There is nothing that Texas can
gain by perpetuating anything Of
a partisan feeling in her state leg
islation. She is too overwhelming
ly Democrat to fear any immediate
change, no matter what her legis-
lative action, and is therefore best
placed to take counsel only of the
public interests and devise for state
progress and direction in the ways
most likely to accomplish this in
the wisdom Of the legislature. She
has an open door and she should
not close it against herself.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY %, '95

The Greenville Herald heralds a
lie as broad as the state Of Cali
fornia, when it says that the Re-
publicans Of that state are trying
to steal it from the Democrats.
There has been no thought Of such
a thing in any mind outside of the
Herald man, and he must have in
herited it along with his other
original sins. The Democracy of
that state talked of stealing the
state from the Republicans, to
whom it belonged upon the cleo
ton returns, but the retiring Dem
ocratic governor said that il it was
attempted he would thwart the at
tempt and it was dropped. The
Herald says also Of Ten nessee that
the Democrats there are trying to
rob the Republicans. The only
difference in the two cases is that
N California the outgoing COVER
nor was not on the steal and in
Tennessee he was. Otherwise there
was a very great similitude in the
cases. Why does the Herald make
the distinction? Is it because it
can afford to kick at Tennessee af-
ter its successful usurpation, and
cannot afford to congratulate the
Californians on their honesty at
the party EXPENSE.

1t may be- accepted, as stated
by the authorities on that sub
ject, that it is no longer as profit
a BILE to plant cotton mills in the
far east as it once was, particularly
in the New England states. The
body Of opinion is in favor Of max
ing no farther investments Of that
nature so far from the cotton fields,
but to transfer such investments
to the cotton raising states. This
marks Texas as exceptionally well
placed for such plants, as she is
the greatest Of all cotton raising
states, is farthest from the existing
mills and has the market within
herself and across the border for
the disposal Of vast quantities Of
such goods. These reasons, coupled
with the cheap labor Of the state
and it's moderate climate should
direct enterprise Of this kind her
way. If it is not so directed it will
be her own fault, and the loss will
fall on her that follows unwisdom.
