gro YOUR TENTS, OH ISRAELI

Let us unite and bumkle down for thu
good Of Texas. We don't want POPu
| list governor and a POpulist Legislature
to move back Texas twenty years anC
put it there to stay twenty years longer
| 1t is question whether or not this gen
Grafton shall see Texas develop with the
vigOr Of perfect manhood.
Keep up disscntions in the Democratic
party in this State and we will never sec
the State blooming into its natural
growth and development, but lay aside
all issues that are impracticable and
unite as Democrats and this generation
will witness the most unprecedented
growth Of Texas. If we can't force upon
the government the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, what is the use Of
breaking up the Democratic party Of
Texas and thereby insuring the election
Of a Populist State government?
Democrats must feel the Importance of
party harmony in the next canvass. Just
as certain as the agitation of this silver
question is kept up will there be a divi-
sion in the Democratic party in this
State in the next canvass and the result
is inevitable, the election of a Populist
legislature and State executive. This
result would be disastrous to every interest
in the State of Texas. The almost I'M
limited resources of Texas can not be
developed by home capital and home
energy. The people of Texas unaided by
foreign capital would not be able to build
even a connecting link of railroad, let
alone a trunk line. The great water
power of the State augmented in import
ance by the uses of electricity would be
idle. The only factories that we would
have would be the few we could build
ourselves if we were not deferred even
in doing that much by the wild and i'm
polite legislation of the Populists.
The substantial kind of emigration we
so much need to change our waste places
into fields of plenty would stop, not
solid man would come to a State and in
vest his money and make it his
home under the impracticabc schemes
of Il Populst government. In fact the
energy of our own people would be par
alyzed, our fields would return to waste
and the streets of our cities would be
changed from busy thoroughfarcs to
grassy flats on which disheartencd men
might lie down and sleep for all the good
they could do themselves while awake.
Let us avoid such a catastrophe. Let
us bury and forget the bitterness that
has been engendered between the fac
tons of the Democratic party by the dis
of the monetary problem. Perhaps
time may show that neither faction was
right, and time may evolve much more
safe and wiser policy than either fac
ton now conceiycs of. Let us break
down the barriers that divide us and
promise success to our arch political
enemy, the POpulsts. Let us forgive
each other for anything that in the cx-
element of debate we have said often
sive to each other, as good Democrats
ought to do when the enemy, like the
Philistines, are defying the old and
'taunch Democratic party. ITO your
tents, Oh, Israel and muster united
party in line of battle. Let us move
against them shoulder to shoulder, ami
mated by the love we have for the Dem
'cratic party and for our beloved State
If Texas.

Now and then we see Importance added
to somebody's views, which views are
attributed to Mr.. Cleveland because that
somebody happens to be near him in
some relation. All of these differences
have turned out incorrect. Mr.. Cleve-
land rarely thrusts his views upon the
public unless it becomes necessary and
then he gives them straight from the
shoulder and never by proxy.

We are very much afraid the Arkansas
authorities are webbing" in the Cor
-Fitzsimmons affair. 1t looks very
much like they are disposed, to yield to
the Establishments of the pugilists and
their friends. That fellow Brady, Cor
belts manager, is shrewd statesman
and special pleader of uncommon force,
as was manifested by the result of the
permission given him to talk in an indig
nation meeting of church members
While he did not capture them outright
he broke the force of their Indignation
and they put their resolutions quite mild,
as attested in the dispatch in The States
man. 1t now looks very much like those
fellows never intended to have a prize
fight but an innocent entertainment with

WORK OLE MASONS.

The Free Masons of Western Pennsyl-
vania propose to raise $S,000000 to
build and equip a Masonic university
in Beaver. Pa. by asking every Mason
in the county to subscribe so. 1t is eX,
pected that most Masons would send
their sons to the university, while the
children of dead Masons who could not
afford to pay would be educated in it
free of charge Beaver is said to be the
center of the Masonic population Of the
United States, and the Masons of the
place say they will give the proposed in
stitution q site of 800 acres.

STREET DEEI.

Selam, Ala. Oct. 21.-A fatal shooting
ARRAY occurred at Uniontown, Perry
county, this morning. The city marshal,
Robert Britton and V. G. Metzger,
merchant, had an alteration over some
trivial matter at an early hour, but did
not come to blows. Later they met again
in front of Metzger's store and the quar-
rel was renewed. Both men drew pistols
and commenced firing at each other
Britton fell on the pavement and was
carried to his home, where his dealt, IS
momentarily expected Metzger was shoe
in the head, but will live.

Sheriff White yesterday received a
telegram from Dallas from one Joseph
Dryfuss asking for permission to operate
knife rack and plate board in this city
on circus day. Sheriff White is quite
TOO Old fox to be caught mapping, how

Such games can be licensed and if Mr..
Drytuss desires to pay the license he can
come here and do so.

THE PRINTING CASE

Attorney James a Breeding of Hous-
ton is in the city preparing an application
for writ of error in the State printing
contest case in case the court of civil an
peals declines today to grant the appii-
cation for rehearing. This is the case
where the court holds that the State
printing board can not dictate to a State
contractor as to whether he has the work
done within or without the State.

TIP FOR AUSTIN CANDIDATES.

The Chicago Chronicle says: Mr..
Wurster in accepting the nomination
for mayor of Brooklyn, sets two good
examples to candidates for similar posi-
tons. First, he resigns his present office
of fire commissioner in order that the
city's business may not suffer while he
is running for mayor and that be may
not be embarrassed in his campaign by
official duties. Next he writes letter of
acceptance that he is devoted entirely
to the consideration of municipal affairs.
There is no mention Of National and
State issues"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-10-24
EyARTS IS TRUTHFUL.

The Chicago Chronicle says: "A local
newspaper describes a contingent fee
as an agreement whereby the lawyer
gets a good share of the verdict If he
wins the case and nothing if he loses.
The definition of Mr. William NJ. Evarts
is more complete and satisfactory. A
contingent fee, says this experienced
lawyer. is one where the lawyer gets
nothing if he loses the case and if he wins
it the client gets nothing"

FITZ' STAKE MONEY.

New York. Oct. OH the supreme

by Joseph p. Tooker, on bill for print

TILLMAN'S ABILITY.

The Boston Herald thinks: Ben Till

mediaeval magician who raised the devil
by a spell and forgot the counter spell
by which to lay him.

NEED DIMES.

Says the Baltimore Sun of Thursday:
"a scarcity of dimes is being felt in a

acquisitions have been made on the Balti-

ments have been made to Washington
and Cincinnati. and yesterday $4,000 in
these coins were sent to New Orleans"

THEY ARE VERSATILE.

The Dayton. O., Times says: THE

is being run in the country districts and
