REPUBLICAN WISDOM.


That hard money departure at
Dallas threatens another split in
the democratic ranks. IL it &C.
ours it is to be hoped that there
will be no repetition Of the re-
publican folly of a few years ago,
in an endorsement Of the split by
the republican state convention to
it's detriment and loss. AS then,
so now, there is everything to lose
and nothing to gain by endorsing
or uniting with a democratic split
in this state. II that split occurs,
the wisdom Of the republican party
lies in arranging to divide the
spoiIs with the populists. The
populists have designs on the
state and county governments,
that they could make good with
the assistance of the republicans
of the state. The republicans.
with the aid OF the popu-
lists, could capture the electoral
vote Of the state and swing Texas
into the republican colu mn this
fall to that extent. This would be
great gain for the party, and
would serve to break into that
constant succession OF overwhelm-
ing majorities that has so dis
heartened all opposition to the
state democracy. Not only so, it
would strengthen the hands that
bind the republicans and populists
together in all their political work
for the redemption Of the indus.
tries OF the nation from the grasp
of the free traders. In protective
ideas the populists Of Texas are
largely in line with the republi-
cans; also in their ideas Of restrict
ed immigration, and in almost all
else, save in their ideas on
the financial situation. This
last is more a theory than
a question Of practical politics, for
the money of the country as it is
now issued and coined is to con-
tinue to be the money of the ma.
ton without any particular change.
There has been legislation Of one
kind or another on this subject,
but it has not changed the essen
tial features Of the money issues.
Gold, silver and currency are the
money of the nation, and these
are interchangeable, and will be so
preserved, no matter what politi-
clans say. There is a tendency to
make any one of these kinds Of
money the equal OF all others and
abrogate the contracts that call for
payment in any one Of them. This
accomplished by congress there
will be nothing to be desired
on the monetary question.
On this subject there is no need
of quarrel between the state popu-
lists and the Texas republicans.
Then the union Of these, in an al.
lance for the division OF control,
would give the republicans of
this state the seats OF half the
congressman in the state, and this
is OF the greatest Importance, for
it would give to the state on the
floors Of national legislation voices
that would be heard in behalf Of
her great industries, and this is
very much to be desired.

UPS AND DOWNS OF FORTUNE. =
A Poor Artists Brilliant Work Unexpect-
eddy Brings to Him Fame.

Mr.. Charles Noel Flagg, New York
| artist, who has lived much abroad, tells
some interesting stories of bohemian life
in Paris in the seventies. 'Those were the
days says Mr. Flagg, when Meissonier
was Sir Oracle; when Bastien Lepage was
pghting his way to recognition as "a great
painter and giving the first hint Of new
school of brilliant color, when the men OF
BarbiZon, at the end of their lives, were
granted at last the place they had strug-
gled for; when the fame of Claude Monet
was the secret Of "a few enthusiasts. Con
ditions and ideas were different among the
leaders from those which now prevail but
the rank and file struggled and starved, re-
viied and hoped, very much the same as
today"
1t has been said that in France fame has
wings and that by II single great success
she carries her votary to the top. Mr..
Flagg illustrates the truth Of this by re-
lating an anecdote Of u young Englishman
named Hawkins. HE was SO poor that he
lived on bread alone, soaking his loaf, bit
by Bit in 2 or 3 sous worth Of wine. He
would sell pictures for 5 or francs apiece
and that sort Of grind went on for years
At last he painted big picture, which all
the boys thought 50 fine that they Clipped
III Tor cheap frame and sent it to the
Salon. 1t was Il landscape showing a
graveyard, with children playing in the
sunlight, but there was no cheap scnti-
mentality about tit was "a strong, manly,
brilliant thing. For bravado we made him
set big price on it-somcthing like 70, 600
francs
Well, had a picture in the Salon that
year, 50 l went in on vanishing day and
wandered up and down among the no.
tables, looking for my picture. Suddenly
| saw tie sky Of Hawkins picture-that
was all | could see for the crowd around
IL. And there was little Messonier gestic-
ulatiug and exclaiming, That the best
thing in the whole salon, and Bastien
Lepage was pointing out this and that in
II, and all the artists We're admirinQ and
chattering. And, do you know, he was the
success Of the year; The picture was bought
TINT day for its full price and the next day
the carriages We're lined up in front Of his
poor little studio, and he sold every rag in
the place for any price he chose TO set upon
it. He managed 10 hold on 10 his success
too. II lasted 50 long a. he lived liar
