600 could be so placed in Texas today

ONE STRIDE AHEAD.

1t is the unexpected that happens
and it has happened at Fort Worth.
The sidetracking of Wright Quincy by
State Chairman Grant places that
gentleman without question at the
head of the Republican machine in
this state. 1t shows Mr.. Grant a
much ADLER and smoother politician
than he has had the credit of being.
Judging also from his declarations
after the defeat of Quincy, he has the
wisdom of cOnciliatOry measures, and
if these be joined to his fighting quail.
tiles there is no doubt of his position.
1t is now stated that he has no inten-
ton of forcing the fighting. but that
he will favor the selection of Mr..
Green for the state craftsmanship.
This will leave no room for cOnten-
ton. as Green is the candidate of the
opposition. This means also that the
program for fuSing with the OppOsi-
ton to the silverites will be carried
out, in so far as it is possible to do it.
the negotiations for that purpose be-
ing in the hands of the same parties
practically that have so far conducted
them. This convention marks the
beginning of the end of the
rule of the cOlored man in
Texas politics, and it is high
time that it was accomplished. Fer
gusOn is not to be compared with
Quincy as a leader. He has not the
force in himself, nor can he summon
to his support such strength among
the really strong men of his white
Republican friends as have always
rallied round the banner of Quincy.
The fight is not over. but this is the
first time that Quincy has been laid
out cold and the misery of it all is
that he has been laid low by very
inferior man of his own color. If
out of all this peace to the Republic
can party in Texas shall come and
such union of all the forces of the
party as will insure its full strength
being called forth for the support of
party measures and candidates. then
it will not be in vain that the fight
has come. Grant is a good name to
cOnjure by in the field of politics as
well as in the field of military sci
nnce.

That Country Failed to Maintain the Ratio
of Sixteen Onions to one Cat.
The ancient Egyptians had a cur
rency based on cats and onions, both of
which were sacred objects worshiped
by the people. AS there was some diff
ticulty in storing the cats, and as the.
onion was liable to decay, a circulating.
medium was provided of paPyrusl
strips, representing a certain number
of cats and onions at ratio Of six
teen to one, This was a. true double
standard system and is believed to have
been the origin of modern paper cur

serious difficulty arose. New coll

Nubians had been taught the art of
agriculture. The rich, black soil Of

onions, and the production of those
