Why, in the name OF reason can Texas negro
vote against the democratic ticket? Texas, with
her brutal democratic majority has done more
to educate and elevate the colored people than
any other State in the Unon.-Nacocdoche

Nacosdoches is certainly an authority on the
elevation OF the negro.--HouSfon Post
No joking about this thing now We are
serious. If the negro would give more heed TO
his democratic friends in the South. there would

ferred to in The Posts sarcasm. The negro
problem is hard one--no mistake about it-and
It is fact that the meanest negroes that arc

ing any ticket on earth except the democratic
ticket Scheming white men who take advantage
OF the ncgros prejudices against the democrats.

outside Of the naturally depraved nature OF the
utterly ignorant negro. We sincerely believe that

the democratic ticket and stick 10 H. II would
come nearer solving the race problem than any,
thing that can be done, They are cast among
democrats, they have to deal with democrats live

A bachelor sat all alone one night
With his feet on his desk and his pipe a-lieht,
And a box in his lap with an appraised lid
And the things that deep in the box were hid
Were many and strange there were letters there
And dead red rose, and lock Of hair
And what had been a carnaton red
That had boomed and died on day long ned.
Then he dozed away and his head dropped down,
And he slept till his sister returned from town
And saw him and shrieked, as she gave a spring
And grabbed the box, You're a mean old thing

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Hon John Cunneeu, who undoubtedly has
been elected attorney general OF New York
will have, says the Washington Times. heavy
burden of party responsibility to bear in Of
fee As the only democrat elected he will be
expected to let slip no opportunity whereby he
can show the voters Of the State that the demo-
cratic platform meant business when it declared
war to the death on the trusts. He will be the
law officer OF Governor Odells administration
and ordinarily would be supposed TO proceed IN
important cases only when instructed so TO do
by his chief.
But If he waits 10 institute suits against the
trusts only at the republican governors direction
the republicans and not the democrats would
profit thereby II he does not pursue vigor-
Gus and independent course the democrats viii
make his life miserable, and il he does do that
then the republicans will smite him hip and
