Gardner of the Texarkanian is
rather premature in nominating
Hon, T. G, McRae for Governor in
1900 That is too far off to know
what the conditions will be then or
who the people want, aud while
neither the Picayune nor any one
else is authorized to make any an
nouncement of Mr.. McRae's inten-
tions, we will say that in future as
in the past, he will take counsel of
his friends when the occasion arises
and act accordingly, nor is it likely
that he will be governed to any
great extent by the TeXarkaniau,
Men of Mr., McRae's ability usually
counsel with friends rather than
their enemies, -Picayune
Thomasson of the Picayune must
be "ofI his base" all around, in the
above, In the first place we did not
nominate anybody for governor
we simply stated that Mr. McRae
would be in the race for governor
two years hence, and if so we would
cheerfully support him, A number
of other gentlemen have been men,
toned by the press, for the govern.
orship, In the second place we
hardly think Mr. McRae gave any
intimation to the Picayuue that he
considered this paper his enemy, If
choosing between two friends in the
recent race for congress in this dis
trict, and giving our preference to
Mr.. Carter, our home man, rather
than MIR, McRae, constitutes US the
latter's enemy so be i.--guess we
can survive, We have never writ
ten a word derogatory OF Mr., Me-
Rae, but haye written and copied

There is a newspaper published in

in it contained an announcement of
a fire which occurred and 277 liYes

building. Instead of mentioning
the lost, it said that l27 lives were
saved and left the reader to guess

THE MAN FROM ARKANSAS.

]. n. Browning, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor of Texas, ad-
dressed the citizens Of the West side
last night at the West side city
hall.
Mr. Browning is a native of Ar
kansas, having been born in Clark
county, near the little hamletcaIled
Amity, and when l6 years old,
moved to the Panhandle OF Texas,
and is now a citizen of Amarillo.
He has been a member of the Texas
legislature for many years from his
representative district, and his peo-
pie have placed him Up higher, aud
from the talk Mr.. Browning gave
us we know they made no mistake
in giving him the place on the
ticket he now occupies.
Mr.. Browning is a large broad
shouldered, broad-gauged man, aud
his talk was interesting and pleasing
to all,
The points made in the speech
were to explain what the constitu-
tional amendments to be voted on
we're, and he advocated both as
good measures and hoped the Bowie
county democrats would vote for
them. They are: That the state
be allowed to pension all old de-
crepit and and worn out Confeder-
ate soldiers. and that the sessions
of the legislature be extended to
100 days instead of 60 days as now
and that the members receive So. %
per day for 100 days of the session,
and $500 per day for time over 100
days. Point No. 3 was made against
the populists. They adopted a re-
ferendum platform at their meeting
which means that all laws passed or
rather suggested by the legislature
must be put in shape and voted on
by the people before it will become
law. Mr.. Browning said that this
kind of law would bankrupt the
state, as it took SO, 500 to publish
the two amendments mentioned
above, and should the hog wild
theory" of government be voted by
the populistsit it would take all the
money in the state to get the meas.
ures before the people in tangible
form.
Mr.. Browning said the populists
were yelling that the Democrats
were placing a burdenSome tax upon
the people. In answer to this he
would say that when the Democrats
got control OF the state the take.
were 81. 10 on the hundred dollars
worth of property and now Texas
was taxing its people, state and
county, only 80 cents on the hun
dred, and there we're only three
states in the Union where a lower
rate of taxation exists, and these
states were Indiana, Ohio and Min
nesota.
He showed where Texas had spent
many million dollars in the last ff,
teen years in public buildings and
in improving it's educational facili.
ties, and had extended its frontier
from few hundred miles west of
here, to the Rio Grande on one side
and the line of New Mexico on the
other, and that marauding Indians
were put down by state troops, paid
with state money.
The honorable gentleman made a
good impression and should he ever
offer for governor Though he be
from Arkansas) we see no reason
why he should not be chosen, for
we have sized him up to be honest,
plain-spokeu, well-balanced and free
from flaw or blemish. He will make
a good officer, one Texas need not
feel ashamed Of

from out Of town. lie was a young
politician who had recently announced
his engagement to one of the incest
girls in New Castle county, and also
his candidacy for a responsible and de,
sirable place on his party's ticket a
glass Of soda followed the meeting and
greeting, and while in front Of the
fountain the Wayfarer, with the en-
gagement announcement running
through his head, asked:
"Are you going to send out your
cards right soon?"
Now, a politician is a politician ell
the time, and particularly in election

1EFT BY THE MAYsTpE.

On Friday night the Aradelphia Eu-
chre Club, of this city, went out TO
Christiana to spend the evening at the
hospitable home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter Cupit. The party consisted Of
eighteen young Wilmingtonians, bent
on having a good time at the expense
Of someone, and they were not long
in finding the victims. When Hare's
Corner was reached the horses were
walking and Walter Tazwell and Myron
Henderer thought they would leave the
hack and smoke as they walked. From
some cause, unknown to the Wayfarer
they had just cleverly began their pc
destrian exercise when the horses left
their walk and plunged into a spirited
trot, leaving Tazwell and Henderer by
the wayside AT first they thought it
was merely joke, but the longer they
thought the more distant the hack be-
came. Becoming convinced that they
would have to foot it the balance Of
the way to Christiana, they heightened
l their strides and were making fair
progress when they turned off on the
wrong road and did not discover their
mistake until they had walked more
than a mile out Of their way. They
then retraced their steps and arrived
at the Cupit residence hot dusty. in.
tempered and entirely too late to ex.
perience the pleasures of the evening
which the others had enjoyed.
Matters are hot in Cuba, but not S,

FRENCH OPINION OF THE WAR. |
II might at first sight seem as though
France, with her change from an inn
perial to a republican form Of govern
ment, would be less hostile to us as a
nation than she was in the civil war
But, in the first place, France is not a
republic in the sense in which that
name is applied to the United States.
France, it is true, has no king; bu,
her administration is bureaucratic to
the last degree The zola trial may
serve as an instance Of the remoteness
of modern France from liberal ideas as
understood by English speaking people
IL the rext place, the Americans whom
the Tlfnch have seen in Paris have not
always been the most favorable speoi-
mems of what our country can produce
We are thought by the large section Of
the Partisan public, which takes the
Figaro for its gospel, to be a nation Of
nOuveaux riches, spoiled children Of
fortune, quick to ape the vices of Paris
and incapable of appreciating its vir-
tues. Finally, and this counts for most
of an, France regards herself as the
leader and champion of the Latin civ
ilization against the Saxon. France Is
interested in supporting the credit OF
Spain, not only financially but morally.
The more England and America draw
together the more does France draw
apart from both. France and England
have for centuries represented two
kinds Of morality so different that
each has at times been prone to deny
an morality to the other Most French
men find it difficult to believe that our
sympathy with Cuba is more than a
pretence under which to cloak our
greed for pef
There will be one way to prove them
wrong; that way is to decline to an
mex territory as the result Of the war.
II we do this we shall furnish an OBJ
ject lesson in international morality
which will be worth many times what
the war costs. If we do this we shall
gain the respect Of other nations for
our motives and shall give to any
Anglo-Amerlcan coalition which the
future may have in store a standing
and influence greater than that which
belongs to its physical power alone. OF
such coalition the circumstances
which have thus far attended the
conduct Of the war bear no little prom
ise We may hope that as the result
OF these disturbances we can secure a
permanently better feeling toward ma
tions like England, which understand
us; and increased respect for our dis
interestedness on the part Of other ma
tions which do not understand us so
yell. These are ends in whose pur-
suit men Of all parties and opinions
can cooperate. Review.

50 disconnected Purcell and his fellows
at the patrol station that they forgot
all about the arrests and devoted their
energies to bringing Downing out Of
his unconscious state. While they were
thus engaged a crowd was rapidly col
lecting. The mulatto, who labored
under the belief that the arrest was
genuine. took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to jump from the patrol wagon
and take a spirited sprint up French
street, followed by one or two officers
and part of the crowd, who were not
alive to the situation. The mulatto es-
capped, Downing was taken home, and
Purcell got his valise after all, and
much unnecessary trouble with it.
