Mr.. Curzon's Salary.

The Indian vice royalty was in time
past regarded as the one great financial
prize among satrapies, but It is under
stood to have become, in part, no doubt,
by reason of the fall in the rupee,
much reduced in value. The salary
($125, 0OO) is not large for functionary
who has to maintain so much pomp
and circumstance, but the allowances
for expenses are on very liberal scale.
In the case of other governorships it
is almost impossible to 'tdo the thing
well'' and to effect any saving out
of the salary It may be observed
that wealthy men very rarely accept
these positions. In fact, it may be
questioned whether wealthy man has
ever held the vice royalty Of India.
Lord Brassey, Lord Jersey and Lord
Aberdeen, among governors, are rare
exceptions, and the first named, as
governor Of Victoria, when the salary
had been reduced from $4,000 to $35,-
900, refused to take it if a further re-.
duction were made.

TWELVE p AGES
DIFFERENCES IN TIME.
A SPEEDY TERMINATION or TIN.
WAR,

The Post does not wish TO criticize the
administration In it's prosecution Of the war
against Spain, but II desires TO emphasize
the Tact that every National interest de-
mands speedy aud decisive termination OF
the conflict,
There is absolutely nothing TO be gained
and much TO be lost from an unnecessary
prolongation OF the trouble The United
States can not possibly be benefited by a
Fabian policy. It can crush Spain as easily
In three months as In three years, provid-
Ing her fleets can he found, and whatever
o, her possessions that Spain will have to
Yield as the penalty OF war viii fall into the
hands Of the United States rs soon as it is
ended
The Post is fully in accord with the SEN
timent Of the New York journal: "a short
war II possible; long one IL necessary
above all decisive and victorious one
but 1t wishes 10 emphasize not only the pos
sibllity, but the necessity Of short, de-
cisive and victorious war The admnistra-
ton has hardly been as active In the prose-
cutlob OF the war as 1t could have been.
The preparation for the invasion OF CuSa
which Is no less demanded for hasty end
Ing OF the war than the destruction OF the
Spanish navy. has been apparently hindered
BY an lnharmonious cabinet and division
OF sentiment in the National councils, Spain
is fighting with scarcely a hope OF victory
merely battling In obedience TO the notions
OF Spanish pride, and she realizes that the
utmos. She may effect in her own behalf
or rather for the soothing OF the psnes o!
defeat. is whatever evil sire may brins upon
the United States by prolonging an unequal
contest as much as possible.
And thus the United States could crush
Spain at once and be done with It. There
Is every reason to concentrate and hurl at
once against Spain the forces necessary tc
break forever her dominion in Cuba aud
drive her fleets from the face Of the seas.

WALLER COUNTY.
Large Number of Populists Returned
to the Parts.

Hampstead, Texas, May 27.--The Brook
shire precinct, the second largest in the
county, held primary convention yestcr-
Gay evening and the attendance was the
largest ever known. In fact, under the lib
eral test adopted so many former pJpulists
participated that but little of the populist
party is left In that corner Of the woods.
The struggle IL ere was for the control Of
the county and precinct Offices, everybody
aid everything else being sdetracked ex-
cent Sayers, who was unanimously instruct
ed for.
This is as far as the convention ever got.
The members were tired OF the long Wran-
gle over the county offices. Some one
moved to instruct for Browning for lieu~
tenant governor, and some one else asked
where Browning was from. The answer
came Il don't know" and the convention
decided to adjourn. However. it is known
that the delegation to the county conven-
ton is solid for Tom Smith for attorney
general
For county officers the present deTo-
cratic officials were victorious, with the
exception of Will Crook for county attor-
ney. who was defeated by G. Lowry. ]. u.
Harvey got the instruction for county judge
and William Miller for cotton weigher the
only offices now occupied by the opposition.
Phil Cuny was instructed for for the legs-
iature. j. G. Kellner defeated j. w. Ed
n,undson for comm ssioner from the Brook
Shire precinct.
The attendance at the primaries so lar
is ten times as large, compared with former
years. the recruits coming mainly from the
uopulistic camp.

Galveston. Texas, May 27.-The following
explanation of the reason that actuated the
anti Webber men to leave the county
convention last Tuesday has been given 10

Weber tickets headed 'Sdyers delegates

delegates though the delegates were al
ready nominated by the precinct clubs and
wore instructed for Major Sayers anu
others that the clubs desired. OF course
persons who were more inter sted IN "a!
ers than in Weber did not appreciate his

that only increased the we'll established

to the anti Weber delegates in the polls

afternoon before, and several other things

The convention was carried on in the
same high handed way. He declined TO call
the roll for temporary organization. Con
| tests were filed in two precincts. When the
roll was called for the election of tempor-
airy chairman he only allowed the Weber
side to vote for the contested precincts.

to him resulted in no good. To appeal from
his rulings would have resulted in tho
same way as he only allowed the Weber
delegates from the contested precincts 10
vote.
after declaring his temporary chairman
elected a recess was taken. The anti Web
her men held a consultation and decided
that they would not further submit to his
tyrannical action, and SO stated to the
Weber delegates. They then tried to hold
their convention in the same hall. but il

was impossible. They then underworld tc
secure a room across the hallway. but
could not, and so went down tn the next
floor and there called a democratic ronven-
tion to order under democratic rules. The

Emitting Arc nOnnlnr.

Lufkin, Texas, May &c. Politics in this
section are simmering down to a low ebb
since the withdrawal of a couple of steeds
in the gubernatorial race. lester was a
sure winner in this county, but his with
drawal. with Crane out OF the race, gives
Savers a complete walkover, with little or
no opposition. Cough of Collin county
seems to be the choice of the people for
lieutenant governor, as we'll as Tom Smith
of Hill for attorney general Garrison Of
Shelby county for treasurer; George W..
Smith of Harris has a good following in
this county for land commissioner.
Imboden undoubtedly is the choice of the
county for congress from the Second dis
trict. as he is we'll known here, hsT.ng
served as State senator from this district,
as we'll as district attorney, and is per-
sonally very popular.
