BETTER STICK TO CUSTOM.

1t seems that Texas is not the only
State where the question OF one or two
conventions is up for consideration.
Georgia is wrestling with the same prob
lem, and on this subject the Auantn
Journal has this to say:
The Tennessee democrats can have what
they please. but the tine-honored demo-
cratic custom in Georgia should be changed
only by the expressed win of the party.
AT our last state Democratic convention
several questions relating to the methoi.'
of pnrty procedure were considered. nut
not one word was said about abolishihg
the rule of two conventions In preSidcninl
years. From not one Of the hundreds oi
democrats in that body came oven SUE,
gestion that new plan should be adopted
this year. Ana yet here, on abe eve OF the
maotne of the Stnte committee, comes
from a certain quarter demand mat tlit

this State for generation. ana mat, TOO
without any expression from the party on
the subject. The only fair presumption i
that, until the party. In some definite am
unmistakable way demands change, !
desires the old rule TO remain IN force
The Savannah News, the sturlieet and
most influential democratic paper
perhaps, in that State, joins with Tho
Journal and advises thus;

that only ono convention be held has beer

KrARBY VS. ABBOTT.
Sixth District Contest on Hearing Before
Committee.

Committee.
Washington, January 21-rhe house
committee on elections No. today gave
n hearing TO the contested election case
of Abbott vs. Kearby. from the sixth
district of Texas. This is the same com
mittee which recently heard the case of
Rosenthal VS.. Crowley. and Is supposed TO
be therefore well Versed in Texas law
The hearing began at 10 o'clock when the
case was opened by u. ]. Mcknight, a
well known Washington attorney, appear
ing for the contestant Representative
Abbott appeared for himself In an argyll
ment following the opening of the case,
and Mr.. Mcknight closed the case in the
afternoon. The case was discussed from
the Texas newspaper reports of the cleo
ton and developed no new testimony from
what was published at the time of taxi
ing testimony for filing with the clerk
last fall.
The whole case seems to hinge upon
the legality Of tickets voted in Dallas
city under the Australian ballot system.
Upon this ticket the name Of kearhy
appeared three times. once each as the
candidate of the populist, the lily white
and the straight republicans. In a num-
Der of cases the name was left on the
ticket three times and the question is;
Can such Il ticket be legal?

HOUSTON. TUESDAY. JANUARY ~
AMERICA AND ENGLAND.

Tho recent stirring up Is likely after
all to result in better feeling between
tho American and English people from
the fact that the agitation has occasioned
reflection on both sides as to the horrible
disastcrs inevitable to each country and
to human civilization from n war be-
tween them.
The New York Press well says: But
after NIL the English are our people,
and we are theirs. They are n magmii-
cent force for liberty and civilization.
And the absolutist who thinks he can
arrange an alliance TO humiliate ana
break down the influence OF England
should consider the resources, not Oh
England only, but of the United States
as well. before he performs an act of
war. His triumph viii not occur un,l'
he has exhausted them both, aud that
will happcn-ncyer."
To which the Memphis COMMERCIAL
Appeal adds. Whatever may be said.
England las borne the Nag of civil cation
wherever she has set her foot aud spread
the blessing of liberty, good government
and enlightenment throughout the WI
dcrnesses Of the world. If she has de-
spoiled wild tribes with the strong hand
she has subdued them FROM sayagcry To

Saxon the dominant figure of the worl(
and her prosperous colonies show how
