Gov. ALTGELD, of Illinois, de-
clares there is no division in the
Democratic party. There are a
few men who are, in one way or
another, connected with corpora
tons, and cater to the men that
cantrol corporate and monopol-
istic interests, and these men
seen to feel that they can serve
the monopolies better by calling
themselves Gold Democrats than
they could if they were in the
ranks Of the Republican party,
where they really belong. We
cannot deny them this privilege,
as they have more in common
with Mark Hanna and his Doodle
machine than they
have with Democratic principles.

THE Napa Journal states that
Congressman James G. Mcguire
delivered an address before the
Iroquois Club of San Francisco
Friday night on the dangers to
this country Of government by
injunction. He said that the
tendency of the federal, legisla-
tive and executive departments
towards centralized power was
continually checked by their de-
pendence upon the will and favor
of the people. The federal judi
ciary was irresponsible to the
people, and oflate years, through
processes of injunction and man
date, was overriding the execu-
tive and legislative branches
elected by the people. He
thought that the way the federal
judges were interfering in State
and local affairs through the
construction of alleged implied
powers of the United States
courts was remarkable.

A PRETTY well authenticated
rumor comes from Washington
to the effect that prominent Re-
publicans all over the country
are urging President Mckinley
to call an extra session of Con-
gress to meet early in November.
They argue that it is absolutely
necessary that the session may
not drag into the midsummer,
for this would prevent the Re-
publican candidates for re-elec-
ton returning to their homes in
time to superintend the cam
paign, which is deemed essential.
This sounds strangely, taking in
view the persistent claim by the
Republican press and Republican
leaders that the Democratic party
is hopelessly divided and de-
moraIized; that the "free silver
craze" and Organism" is dead,
and the whole country is fairly
wild over the good times and
prosperity brought about by the
of the Dingley tariff
law.

AN exchang ventures the as
sertion that the young man who
perfers loafing upon the streets
to working for a little less than
what he thinks his labor is worth
or is extremely anxious to find
an easy place, seldom ever ac-
complishes much. The bright
est examples of success in the
business or the intellectual world
today are those who started I'M
der adverse circumstances. The
boy who acts upon the principle
that he will only do pleasant
work, and that too at his own
price, rarely ever does anything.
He will dead-beat his way
through life on his relatives or
the public which is much worse.
Do not De ashamed of honest
toll, boys, and paddle your own
cone.

A FAMOUS EuLOGY.

Of all the eulogies in litera-
ture, there are none more beauti-
full than the following upon Rob-
ert E. Lee. 1t fell from the sill
yer tongue Of that eloquent
Georgian, Senator Ben. H. Hill,
and is said to have been ex-
tempore:
When the future historian
comes to survey the character of
Lee he will find it rising like a
huge mountain above the undu-
lating plain OF humanity and he
viii have to lift his eyes high to-
ward heaven to catch its summit.
He possessed every virtue Of the
other great commanders without
their vices. He was a foe with
out hate, a friend without
treachery, a soldier without cru
city and victim without MUIR
muring. He was q public officer
without vices, private citizen
without wrong, a neighbor with
out reproach, Christian without
hypocrisy and a man without
guilt. He is a Caesar without
his ambition, Frederick without
his tyranny, Napoleon without
his selfshness and Washington
without his reward. He was as
obedient to authority as a SER
want and as royal in authority as
a true king. He was gentle as a
woman in life, pure and modest
as virgin in thought, watchful
as Roman vestal in duty, sub
missive to law as Socrates and
grand in battle as Achilles.

REMEDY FOR RAPINC.

John Harrison, a colored
laborer of Waco, gives the Dallas
News correspondent his views
on the subject. He said: 81
am a negro, born in slavery. Not
a drop of blood flows in my veins
but that which came to me from
my black ancestors in unbroken
line, ancestors who came over,
perhaps, in the hold of slave
ship from Africa. For my white
brethren l have respect, love
and honor. They gave me a
good trade and some education.
I belong to the class of colored
men in Waco who support FAM
lilies and put by something. The
class I belong to is in the
minority. 1 estimate that 200
colored men in Waco live by the
sweat of the brow of hired color
ed women. Talk about slavery,
why the slavery before the war
was sweet liberty to that of the
negro women whose bodies and
souls belong to black, idle, mas
ters. If the white people will
help US free our women, they
will have less trouble with negro
men. Reform the slavery of
black women held in durance of
abject servitude by negro mas
tiers and it will save hemp, pre-
vent lynchings and bring on the
era of good will. Mr.. Sergeant
puts it right when he says:
Rest assured that the leaders of
the negro race have never done
otherwise than try to repress such
deeds We are equally Mortified,
with the whites, when we
read of a criminal assault on a
female of any color, whoever the
assaulter may be, and we want
all such offenders dealt with by
law to its extreme penalty. The
negro, during the war, protected
the families of their masters,
who were at the front fighting
to perpetuate slavery. That is
an old story and it is history.
One effect of freedom was max
ing good negroes better and bad
negroes worse. Now let me tell
you the preventive of criminal
assaults: 1t is rigid enforce
ment of vagrant laws in city, town
and country. Convict the vags,
white and black, and send them
to the rock pile. Keep them at
work. Let each sheriff and con-
stable commence at once and ar
rest every man who has no en-
or means to support |
lim. I think such a course
would iberate 200 or 300 negro
women from slavery, make life
and female honor safer and purify |
he country

THE Greenville Herald hits the
nail squarely on the head in the
following brief criticism: "The

negro prisoner while in jail in an
effort to extort a confession of

THE West Times says the ques-
ton of rent is attracting wide at
tention throughout the central
portion of Texas just now. There
is great dissatisfaction among
tenants and meetings are being
held in many communities to ef-
feet a change. The tenant has
become dissatisfied over the pay
ment Of money rent and thinks
the land owner should take some
chances on the failure of crops.
This looks fair to all, as the man
who labors is certainly entitled
to some remuneration, and should
not be required to assume all the
losses caused by drouths. Many
tenants in Texas this year will
find themselves without a dollar
even before the winter IS here,
and yet they all have families to
feed and clothe. The effort max
ing in other sections to equalize
matters seems the most equitable
manner Of settling the trouble.
Good tenants are not going to re-
main in a country where they
labor year after year and pay all
their earnings for rent.

the profit to either the producer
or the state? Texas and her peo-
pie would be far better off if she
raised less cotton and more other
things that there is greater profit
in producing. If her people
would put half of the capital now

HOW TO CURE HAMS.

The following receipt is given
by Hon. ]. M. L. Irby, of South
Carolina: When the hog is
killed the hams should be literal
ly buried in salt. After laying
in salt for five weeks they are
taken out, sponged off with boil
ing water and placed in cage,
the bottom and top Of which are
made of tongued and grooved
flooring, while the four sides
consist only of closely woven
wire netting. The hams are
cured by the smoke passing
through the netting, which ex-
cludes the fly, which is the
greatest enemy to hams, and
protects them from rats and mice
as well. " The best way to
SMOKE" Mr.. Irby says, sis to
build a fire on the ground with
hickory wood. 1t will fill the
smokehouse with smoke, and
this will SOON permeate the cage.
The hams are left in the cage I'M
til they are wanted for use. Il
this plan and was
generous enough not to patent
it. 1t has been tried by me and
is a complete success"

PROPOSED PENSION CHANCES.

The San Antonio Light, a re-
publican journal, admits that
there is one thing that has at
tracted considerable attention in
this country, more particularly
in Democratic circles, and that is
the extent to which the payment
| of pensions has been carried,
This has produced comparatively
little effect, because the Demo-
Gratis as a party have largely op-
posed the whole pension business.
There has been much good reason
in their objections, however, and
the Republicans of the broader
type are talking in the same di-
rection Of late. The fact that
more than thirty years after the
war sees the country burdened
with a pension roll of over S142,-
100000 and that thousands are
added to the rolls even now every
year, calls for some remedy.
There must have been some
fraud in the past, either in ex-
GLIDING worthy pensioners from
the list, who Of late have been
added, or there must be fraud in
adding now or there would not
have been an increase of $4,000.
this past year. Commissioner
Evans is authority for this fact of
increase, and also that there is
no present prospect of decrease.
There must be a regular business
in war widows going on. The
old veterans must be providing
for the future welfare of scores
of thousands, by marrying them
just in time to make them elegi-
bic to receive a war-widow's pen
sion for life. The thing can only |
come to an end by the interposi-
ton of congress. Commissioner
Evans will propose that hereafter
the woman who marries a veteran
Of the war of 1865 draw no pen
sion, the pension ceasing with
the life Of the veteran. This
would be a sensible and just pro-
vision. The vast majority of
these veterans have come to their
three score years, and there is no
need of their taxing the govern
ment to provide for their widows
to the latest possible day in the
afternoon. q, The widows of pres
ent standing will not be interfer-
red with in the proposed law, and
the present wives of old soldiers,
when left widows, will continue
to draw their pensions, but the
wives who become such hereafter
will be off the list of prospective
pension drawers. Such a law
would diminish the pensioners
many thousands by the close of
his present century. The coun-
Try has remembered its debt to
It's saviors and there is not a jot
Of injustice to them in this pro-
posed law to diminish the pen
sion charges Of the country.
