the reason that Congress wisely pro-

JUDGE TONNES AS LAW Lee
TURER.

We were rcjoiccd to hear of the cleo
ton of Judge John G. Townes of this
city by the board of regents of the Uni
vcrsty of Texas to fill the vacant chair
of law lecturer in that institution. Judge
Towncs is cmincntly and specially fitted
for this important position. His tastes
and line of thought as Il student, practi-
TONER and judge of law in its broadcast
scope are peculiarly adapted to teacher
or lecturer on law to students of that
science.
Judge TowncS' ability and his consci-
cntous discharge of every duty i'll his
profession as lawyer and his character
us Il Christian gentleman warrant the
assurance that his classes will be well
grounded and thoroughly equipped in all
the metaphysical jargon,' as well as the
fundamental principles of the law. Judge
Towncs has no prctcnsions to Oratory
and we have often thought an accom-
plishCd orator was out of place as Il law
lecturer. Such an one depends too
much upon his rhetoric while Il plain,
easy talkcr, as Judge TownCs is, must
depend upon the matter of his discourse.
Judge Towncs is in the meridian of life,
character and intellect ripe and vigorous,
and he will come To the place trained
in legal thought far beyond case or stat
ute lawyers.
We understand Judge Towncs has ac-
ccptcd the position and we congratulate
the regents. the university and the state
of Texas in obtaining the services of
such Il strong and conscientious lawyer
as teacher of law for the students of
the University of Texas.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York. July 31.-Bradstrcets re-
view of the New York stock market will
say: While lower records were made in
the prices of many stocks early this week
and while the subsequent rallies have
been moderate, a change occurred in the
temper of speculation on the exchange.
The declines were not accompanied by
decentralization, and the fear of Il panic.
so prevalent in the preceding fortnight.
has disappeared. In fact the deprcssionS
were more the work of manipulativc OPP
orators, working on the bear side, than
the result of liquidation. Lack of public
interest whatever in current speculation.
however, gave opportunity for such man
euvering. and though London seems in
clincd to buy. there is no outside support
and the market has been and continues
II professional one. so far as its quality is
concerned. The change of feeling which
the south displayed is. however. more
important than any slight Improvement
in the quotations. 1t is due to the cner-
getic and successful steps taken by the
banks and bankers here and elsewhere
to restore the treasury gold reserve and
to put check upon gold exports. In both
respects the financial interests engaged
in the work have been completely sue
ccssful. The further alleged fact that
large importing interests are also in SYM
pathy with the arrangement may have
an important effect The activity of the
investment bond market and the unwl-
lingncss of investors to do anything even
in the best class of municipal obligations
has been referred to above. Startling
evidence of this condition was afforded
by the practical failure of the three bond
issues offered by the city of New York
and Brooklyn.
Crop prospects, though on the whole
excellent, have received scant attention
and the street is not particularly i'm
pressed with the outlook for railroad
earnings in view of the shrinkage of
mercantile business and consequent fall
ing off in traffic. The features of the act
i've market have been the fallinSH al
i've market have been mainly the stocks
which are the favorites Of speculative

SOCIALIST CONGRESS-.
The Meeting Adjourned to Meet in

The Meeting Adjourned to Meet in
Germany Next Year.
London, Aug. 1.-At today's sitting of
the International Labor, Socialist and
Trades Union congress the delegates
adopted the report of the industrial
economical commission, rcaifrming the
reports of the Paris congress of 1894. in
Guiding those in support of eight hours
for Il days work; the prohibition of
night work in all cases where there is no
necessity for it. and the abolition of all
tariffs and duties on articles of consump-
ton.
A Greek delegate named Agrarides
then tried to read an address of SYM
pathy with the Cuban insurgents. but the
delegates desiring to wind up the con-
gress. declined to listen, and Herr Leib-
necht, member of the German reich
stag, who was chairman. then an
nOunced that Paris, New York and Il
German city had been suggested for the
meeting place of the congress of 1899.
The congress decided to go German

cided upon, and the session ended with
the singing of Aud Lang Syne, the Mar

hypothetical case of tempting Senator
Hill and others to whom he, without
warrant. attributes free silver advocacy,
to induce them to aid Whitney and other
northern democrats to combine against
the south and west for office. That was
only saved from crasurc by us to show
the reckless disregard of respect and
gratitude held by some free silveritcs i'll
Texas to democrats who have saved the
south from tie humiliation Of IA depend
ency on the northern states. We dislike
for such northern democrats as Hill,
Whitney and others to know that there
is single southern democrat who would
malign them by attributing to them such
low political cunning 1t was Mr..
Tate's zeal for free silver and its power
to keep in Office certain of his political
friends that caused him so far to for
get his own dignity and former relations
with northern democrats as to draw
even such a hypothetical picture. 1t is
elimination running all through Mr..
Tates paper of the grossest insults to
the northern democrats who have been
our fast friends in aiding the southern
states in reassuming the equality of
statehood in the proud galaxy of the
states of this Union with every right
and every privilege they had before they
seeded Mr.. Tates object is to raise n
sectional issue on silver. If he had
much political sagacity he would see that
the SOUTH aided by the little rotten
boroughs of the west would stand no
chance of success against solid and
more populous north, but in his despera-
ton to ignore the principles of every
democratic convention since the prcsi-
dcncy of Zachary Taylor until that
strange hybrid affair at Chicago and
the cngrafting of Il new democracy on
the party, he waves, as he says, the
bloody shirt. We do not think Mr..
mcnt will have any effect outside the
Offices and corridors of the capitol, and
even that crowd will pay very little at
tcntion to it, being busy in binding up
the wounds inflicted on their champion
by The Statesman.
The man who believes that the north
crn democrats who have fought our bat
Ties and relieved us from the petty
tyranny of military governors, relieved
us as provinces and dependencies of
the northern states and rc-cstablishcd
us on II footing of equal rights and priv
ilpges in the roster of states, we say
the man who believes that these north
crn democrats were false allies of the
south, forcing upon us undcmOcratc
principles and using us solely to help
themselves to office, ought to rally to
Mr.. Tatc's bloody shirt, but the southern
democrat who has any gratitude ought
to resent such insults to men who were
as true as steel to MS in our hours of OPP
preston and refuse TO encourage see
tional fight against them, especially
when they are now, as in times past
sustaining the honor and credit of the
republic.

Former Mayor Grace of New York
was asked the other day how he, Il be
lever in strict party support, was add
vising democrats not to sustain the Chi
cago platform. He answered:
at is because | am n democrat that
have advised democrats to repudiatc
the Chicago convention.
THAT was not democracy. | chal-
lcngc any man to assert and prove that
the free coinage doctrine is consistent
the other doctrines which have been
tagged on as logical supplements of the
free coinage doctrine are true democ-
racy. The Chicago principles are the
exact opposite of everything which has
made the democratic party the strong,
conservative force which has done so
much for the preservation of the Amer
lean Union and our democratic institu-
tons
"Now, l feel that it is in the highest
sense an obligation of any man who is Il
true democrat, and who knows what
democracy means, to stand by his con-
victions, no matter what sham dcmoc-
racy may say or do. For that reason it
IS entirely consistent, it is in fact obliga-
tory on men who believe that sound.
abiding and fundamental democratic
principles are violated by the Chicago
platform, to rcnounce that platform and
stand firmly opposed to it as democrats. -
