The Fate of Carter,


When Captain Carter stepped across the TIRES

melancholy sight The public could pity him: it
could gaze upon his humiliation without a show
Of harsh feeling toward him, but it could rot re-
train from congratulating itself that there is still
nower left In the press as the exponent OF public
apinion TO force those high in authority to do
their duty and eschew fayoritism Not always
can this be done; but that sometimes. and even in
conspicuous Instances it is done, is illustrated in
this case in question.

The address Of the Boer ENJOYS to the
American people, to be quickly followed
by their coming in person. cannot fail to
be a great embarrassment to the Admins
tration and the Republican party. Already
We observe that resolutions Of sympathy
are popping up in Congress like crocuses
in spring. and 1t may become necessary for
Hanna to prorogue the body as the only
means Of preventing some legislative ae-
ton which would give offence in London.
One thing has been rendered certain by
recent evidences of popular feeling, end
that is that Mr.. Mckinley will have to
deal with Lord Salisbury for permission to

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
Trouble Ahead in Texas.-The

Trouble Ahead in Texaz.-The news
from Austin that the Hon. Joseph Weldon
Bailey has suddenly returned there, after
having left Texas more than a week ago
for Washington, has excited an interest In
this city which is not wholly confined to
Texans. The announced purpose Of Mr.
Bailey's unexpected presence at Austin at
this juncture is to pave the way for the
election Of a delegation to the Kansas City
Convention instructed and pledged against
expansion. Mr.. Bailey is a contractonist,
and in the last State convention of the
Texas Democracy was ingIoriously defeated
on that issue. In that convention the bold
and ambitious young Texan fought val
iantly for declaration in the platform
defining the position of the Texas Democ-
racy as one of uncomprcmising hostility
TO the extension Of the national domain
and sovereignty and demanding the sur
render Of all of the fruits of the war with
Spain Senators Culberson and Chiffon
took a significantly conservative attitude.
and induced the party to declare for hemi-
spherical eXpansiOn-twin brother OF the
real article. To this principle both OF the
Senators stand pledged at present as GO
all Of the other leaders of the party In
] eAdS. WIN the single exception Oi WI
Bailey. The latter recently has achieved
very notable victory over Mr.. Chiffon
in the Senatorial campaign, and it is gem
orally conceded that Mr.. Bailey will be
the next Senator from Texas. But If he
insists upon whipping the party into the
support Of all his views. as he seems bent
upon doing on the expansion question, well
Informed Texans assert that he may not
have as smooth sailing for the Senate as
he now seems to be convinced is ahead OF
him. Senator Culberson is irretrievably
committed to the form Of expansion de-
scribed. He is a gentleman OF very great
determination and doggedness as well as
Of high attainment. If Mr.. Bailey should
wrench the party in Texas from the at
titude in which it was placed by Senator
Culberson and his followers something
very akin to open population of Mr.. Cul-
bersOn naturally would be inferred. 1t is
not considered that Senator Culberson
tamely would submit to this sort OF bust
ness. Hence a lively fight between him
and the vindictive Mr.. Bailey for control
of the delegation to Kansas City Is conf
IDENTIFY predicted. While Mir. Bailey is
more nearly on Mr. Bryans platform on
the expansion issue than is Senator CuIber-
son. still Mr.. Bailey refused for long
time to support the Nebraskan four years
ago, and is said not to be on such terms
of amity with Mr.. Bryan as would justify
the expectation that in a struggle between
him and Senator Culberson Mr.. Bryan
would care to aid Mr.. Bailey. Altogether.
therefore. the situation in Texas appears
to be getting mixed and threatening.
