William h. Grain

sixth Texas district, III many re
spects, resembles the late William
Henry Grain, who, with all his
faults, was the idol of the demo
crazy of this district. Mr. WoOteD,
in his earlier years, was high
flyer and man of the world. He
sObered down, became conservative
Ia his views, habits, life; joined
the church, and shocked the boys
and the turf by his piety. be has
wabbled a little politically, like
many other democrats, and IN this
behalf he is unlike our William
Henry, for Grain was a radical
democrat to all eternity. But IN
personality, in intellect, in oratory,
Wo9ten has always held his own on
every field, aud he will be heard
from in congress. In rhetoric,
imagination, ripe scholarship, the
free use of his varied knowledge
and imagination, he has no superior
! in the state In ordinary CONVEX
satiOu he is as chaste as Addison,
aud in public defamation he al
ways wins the public favor.
Strange that he had such struggle
or his friends had for him
to obtain the nomination for his
present position. He is a trifie
visionary, but he will get all this
knocked out Of him in congress.
He has the place now. and his
popularity and influence will so
increase that he will hold it.
Sunset Cox, the finest judge in
the house of representatives, said
of the lamented William Henry
Grain, that he "spOke the purest
English in congress. +" In person
al manner and conversation he was
the most accomplished man in the
house When he was young man
of twenty-One his influence and
elOquence was Us Il rushing torrent.
At that age, in an ordinary politi
cal speech, the crowds would
shout themselves hOarse over him.
In nature, he was genial, friendly.
social, too much so for his own
good In congress, on high occas-
ions, his brilliance stamped him
as an intellectual prodigy. In the
flower of his fame and usefulness,
he died. We remember one day
reading brief dispatch aunoune-
ing his death at Washington. Old
Judge Goodrich was sitting in the
next room IN close political con
versation. We stepped TO the door
and said: William Henry Grain
is dead !" Both men raised their
eyes and looked dazed Judge
Goodrich said: "Crain dead that
can not be he is too young to die
Craiu dead that can not be so !"
The conversation ceased, and both
men hurriedly went ont to seek d
denial of the report. Grain was q

out statement about the condition

New Orleans, Feb. 5.-The South.
ern Industrial Association has deci-
ded on the advisability of holding q

week in June next. The annual
convention was fxed by the New Or
leans meeting for Memphis which
will be held in December, but the
suggestion to hold q special conven-
ton in Philadelphia prior to the
Memphis gathering is meeting with
SO much favor both in Philadelphia
and the South as has made such an

1t is proposed to 60 to Philadel-
phia on q somewhat different pro-
gram from any Of the other conYen-
tions and make it trul, "Southern''

Preliminary to this convention,
however, the Southern industrial As
sociation will inaugurate series of
exeursions, beginning with one from
Philadelphia to New Orleans, via
Louisville and Memphis, to be fol-
lowed by others from such Northern
cities as can be arranged to various
points in the South. These excur-

THE LOBBY BILL,

The bill intended to check, In
some measure, professional lobby.
ing, has passed the House. The
principal feature of the bill was
stricken out, probably at the sug-
gestion Of some professional lobby
ist.
Tais provision required each per-
son, who is engaged In an effort to
get bill through the Legislature,
to state the amount that he re-
ceived for his services.
With this feature removed 1t
practically renders the bill harm
less and ineffective. As It now
stands every lobbyist only has to
register his name In a book, stating
the character Of legislation he is
seeking to promote.
The most essential feature, hav.
ing been removed, the bill is not
worth the paper on which 1t is
printed, for every Legislator who
has any shrewdness, at all, knows
who is q member of the Third
House,
It would have accomplish some
good II the provision requiring q
statement Of the amount received
by the lobbyist had been retained.
But we dare say that the lobbyists
were on hand when this matter
was presented, and, 40 usual, they
succeeded in rendering the bill
worthless.
