London. Dec. S.-George Augustus
Sala, the distinguished journalist and au-
thor, is dead.
He was born in London in 1928. In the
early part of his career he became Il con-
tributor of articles to newspapers and
magazines. He visited the United States
in 1863 as special correspondent for the
Daily Telegraph, and in the latter part
of the following year published the result
of his observations under the title of
America in the Midst of the war;
He was war correspondent for the same
paper in France in 1870.
Some of his best known works are:

AN EFFORT TO DISRUPT DEMO
CRACY.

NhN-hSA'
1t is stated by reliable newspapers,
in and out of Texas, that there
will be an effort within the lines
of the Democratic party to repeal
the civil service laws now upon the
United States statutes. A law however
good may be made tyrannical and obiec-
tionable in two ways, one by the manner
in which it is executed, and another by
pushing its principles to an extent I'M
warranted by its original scope and the
elaboration of its details. Shrewd politi-
cal wire-workcrs know how to work
either if these means towards rendering
the civil service law unpopular and we
apprehend that both methods have been
applied to the civil service laws of this
country.
The immediate ground of the recent
clamor against civil service laws was the
effort of the administration to apply the
operations of these laws to certain class
of American consuls to foreign countries.
but the immediate animatng cause for
this sudden attack upon the law gen
orally has its origin in the violent opposi-
ton that certain Democrats have taken
against Mr.. Cleveland and his admins
tratiOn. These quasi" Democrats are
ready to catch any popular fad by which
they may open their masked batteries
against the Democratic party over the
shoulders of Mr.. Cleveland. The opposi-
ton to Mr. Cleveland has not been be-

DEFENDER INVESTIGATION.
Work of the Committee Ar
rival Awaited.

New York, Dec. S.-George l.. Rives,
member of the committee appointed yes
terday by the New York Yacht club to
investigate the charges made by Lord
Dunraven against the management Of
the yacht Defender, made public the cor
respondence today.
The committee, upon careful considera-
ton of the subject referred, decided to
send Il communication to Mr. II. Matt
land Kersey, Lord Dunraven's represen-
tative in America, and to the secretary of
the Royal Yacht squadron. stating that
an investigation of the charges is desired
at once and asking the probable date of
Dunraven'S arrival in this country.
A letter was also sent to Richard Grant,
secretary of the Royal Yacht squadron,
calling that organization attention to
the necessity for an investigation of the
charges.
Secretary Grant replied that the squad
ron could take no action, as the matter
was Il personal one.
The cables of Lord Dunraven, stating
that he would come to America at once
are also published and the committee
adds that it has received its increase in
size by the addition of Hon. e. ]. Phelps
and Captain A. Il. Mahon, United States
army.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH COM
pJJCATIDNS

The complications between the United
States and Great Britain have had no fur
Their DEVELOPMENT. Although the answer
TO the demand for arbitration on England
by the United States has been delivered
to Secretary Olney, its contents have not
been made public awaiting Mr. Cleve-
lands return. 1t will first be made public
through Mr.. Cleveland in his special mes
sage on that subject to congress. In the
meantime it would be idle to speculate as
TO its contents and its war effect between
the two countries. All we can do is to
possess our souls in patience, looking and
hoping for the best.
We can not think that England would
permit its claim to little strip OF terri
tory in South America to be the "casus
belli'' between these two friendly govern
ments, bound together by II common Ian
guage, common literature and com
mon religion These are moral causes
that we think should arrest such calam-
ity to both countries. There are, how
ever, other material and cogent reasons
that should make England pause before
rashly plunging into war that would be
so disastrous to her merchant marine and,
as a consequence, to her commerce. The
United States has very insignificant mer-
chant marine compared to that of Eng
land. In fact, for 30 years England has
been doing the ocean carrying trade of the
United States. The whole of Venezuela
would not pay a 1.-THE of the loss England
would experience by the destruction of her
merchant marine and almost her entire
commerce.
While we have but a small number of
trading vessels, we have a pretty fair war
navy, which would undoubtedly destroy
England's trading vessels on every ocean.
Even if we had only few fleet men-of-
war it has been demonstrated that a single
vessel can on the high seas burn and de-
stroy an entire merchant marine and evade
capture for two years. The ocean is IA
vast and mighty body of waters and II
needle in hay stack could be found quite
as easily as the whole navy of England
could find fleet steamship armed to the
teeth and commanded by shrewd and
able seaman.
Besides that, England is engaged in
diplomatic controversy that at any mo-
ment may precpitate upon that kingdom
n war that has by skillful diplomacy to
this time been avoided; general Euro
pean conflict to maintain what is most
zealously guarded and that is the adjust
ment of the nice distinctions that may be
drawn in the power and its exercise by
certain European governments over their
less powerful and less civilized neighbors.
This delicate balance England, of all coun-
tries, seems to be the most jealous and
watchful of and in such crisis England
is not likely to make a side issue with
such powerful government as the United
States. Lord Salisbury, the premier of
England, has about all he can do to hold
in check the rival nations of Europe who
are watching for the carcass of "the sick
man of the East" and it may be pretty GER
tain he is not going to strip for fight with
the United States just now, ut least.

corso Of their personal dislike TO the
president or the course ne has pursued
on tbe questions arising during his in
cumbcncy of the presidency, although
these so-called Democrats pretend that
if is. No other conclusion than this can
he assigned as the true cause for the
many recalcitrant Democrats, for the
very reason that Mr.. Cleveland and the
policies he has advocated and recommend
cd to congress have been more strictly III
the line of Democratic principles ana
Democratic platforms than has been
usually the case. There is not a fixed ana
settled principle of the Democracy made
permanently 50 by the wise councils OF
tbr party. or even by its time-honored
traditions that Mr. Cleveland has not
followed with all the accuracy of mathe-
NAUTICAL line. and yet there has been
certain class of Democratic politicians
that have been bounding him from the
very start and with all the rigOr of ar
oument and inyective these men have,
on all occasions where an opportunity Of
fercd. assailed him and attempted there
nv TO induce the masses of the party to
believe he was not Democrat and I'M
true to the principles and traditions of
the party. And now, when in the minds
of the people the temporary prejudices
aroused are beginning to be dissipated
and the recognition of the fact that he is
not only genuine Democrat, but has on
several ugly crises in the history of the
country saved the whole people from gen
cral disaster by the application of DEM
ocratic principles to the matter in hand I;
we say that now while the truth is com
ing out, and Mr.. Cleveland is beginning
to be indicated by the truth, these oppO-
sition Democrats, by originating a cru
SADIE against other things endorsed by
the Democratic party show that their an
mostly is not against Mr.. Cleveland, but
for some purpose against the party.
We do not intend to discuss the civil
service law. There are features in its
execution that we object to and would
like to see changed, but we do say that
llllS CulCllllS 1T every populul w Hlul ny
certain class of Democrats shows that
they want to break down the party and
Itthey think they can do so by destroying
Mr.. Cleveland.
This. we say, is now manifest. For
some time this Interior purpose was con-
cealed but when we remember Mr.. Cor
mans lifelong devotion to prOtec-
tive tariff we may have hint as to the
true objects of that class of men.

Therefore, business this week has been
smaller than lately in all directions. The
Eastern embroglio also tends to restrain
buyers. Some India business is going
through, and there have been large offers
of yarns and cloth on the market at i'm
practicable limits.
Prices have been very irregular, vary
ing with the makers needs. Nominally
cloth has been unchanged. American
yarns were about 1-Sc cheaper. Egyptian
yarns were II farthing dearer. For the
continent, business was quiet.

The Cuero Record says that "itiss stated
that Mr.. Grain voted against Mr.. Crisp
for speaker because the speaker ignored
him in the last session of congress in the
appointment of important committees"
We suspect that Mr.. Grain declined cast
ing a complimentary vote for Mr.. Crisp
because Mr.. Crisp took occasion in his
silver coinage speech before the legisla-
ture of his State in advocacy of his
claims to a seat in the United States, to
abuse the president and his policy Mr..
Grain is much more likely to resent an
affront to his party than a political af-
front to himself.

The assertion that the Republicans can
do nothing because they do not control
every branch of the government is an
intimation that the Republican party
has no desire to help the country, and
that their only purpose is partisan. We
think better of the Republican party
than this intimation would warrant. If
the Republican members of congress can
do the country some good and at the
same time do themselves great good we
believe they will do it.

rOpICS on THIN TIME.

If reports are to be relied on-and they
seems to be so emphatically given out tnat
they are-Mr. Speaker Reed is about TO
assume a fearful responsibility. NO one
can be found who will deny that some
legislation is necessary during the preseht
session of congress; is, in fact, absolutely
necessary in order to preserve the lnles-
rity of our standard of value. Inc ne
publcans claim that the present disorgan-
ization of the currency is simply ques-
ton of insufficient revenue. Hence the
absolute necessity, they add, of amending
the present tariff act. The Democrats
on the other hand, claim that the presen.
depression and distress of the country are
the results of the Generalization OF tne
currency, because of the operations IN tne
past of the Bland and Sheman acts anu
their abnormal after-effects in the present
Hence the president will, doubtless, in MS
message to congress, ask for some leglsia-
ton to the end of placing the currency Oh
a sound basis. And so stands the sltua-
ton at the present moment.
When. however, Gar Reed, as he is
lust now called by friends and foes, whlle
admitting that home legislation is necessa-
nv in order to preserve the existing tnan-
cial status of the country and the govern
ment intact and while at the same tune
refusing to do anything whatever in the
premises. most assuredly places himselI, II
an absolutely illogical and indefenslple
position.
In point of fact, his proposed course car can
not be justified. much less applaudeu,
either on ethical or on grounds of pure
expediency. Morally he is called on ., 70
present his remedy for existing eyils'
That is his plain course, his bounden duty y.
Let him then not shrink from these; i ts
if he does shrink, he puts himself ana DE
party at an enormous disadvantage.
