disgruntlement with James Hogg.
This is state affair, growing out
Of the deep seated conviction that
the state management under the
hands Of Hogg and his successor
Culberson, and their similar policy,
is fundamentally destructive OF
the best interests of Texas. Roberts
is the embodiment OF the old
clone Star" idea and man whose
devotion to the state and her
traditions and her interests it is
idle to question. 1t will be in vain
to crack the whip over the heads
OF the old line democrats in the
effort to keep them in line. Rob-
erts is the old line democracy per-
sonified, and he stands for the
democracy Of the fathers. He will
make it lively for Culberson, or
whoever the regulation nominee
may be. In the mean time the
populists are full Of hope. The re-
publicans have no hope.

There will be some music over
the fate Of the people captured on
the filibuster vessel COMPETITOR, be-
fore the fate Of those men alleged
to be American citizens is settled.
Uncle Sam interposes, but that is
idle. The only interposition is by
recognition of the belligerent
rights Of the Cubans, as that will
legitimatize the enlisting Of Amer
leans in that strife. So long as
there is no recognition of Cuba's
rights as a belligerent, so long
must filibusters hang. This is

Congress shows unmistakable
signs of wanting to get through
with its job as soon as practicable.
The house has been in this frame
of mind for some weeks, but the

seriousness of the fact that the peo-

the work going on at Washington,
and that the country at large is Of
opinion that nothing has been

Russia can give the American
missionary people points in the
way OF getting the right track with
the unsanctified hordes who differ
from them in religious views. The
missionaries of the state church OF
Russia are sweeping over the coun-
try of the Mahdi in way to bring
all those vast tribes into the fold,
and Menelik is coming under the
wing OF Russia to stay there. This
is not pleasant for John Bull and

The same incertitude that has
hung around and over the move
ments in Cuba continues, and there
is no reason to conclude that any
more light is likely to be thrown
on the real state Of affairs there In
the future than in the past. The
Spanish authorities are sending
one kind OF news and the Cubans
another. All that is known is that
lives are being squandered, prop.
erty destroyed, values greatly re,
duced, and that there is no pros
pect Of things becoming changed
for the better. When the rainy
season sets in there will be greater
mortality, but this is all that il
