A eRIckeATLET AND A BOUQUET.

The Christian Commonwealth, re-
ligious paper published at Madison
vile, says:
Hon. Sheb Williams, chairman Oh
the state democratic committee, Is
out in a card in which he opposes
primary next spring to determine the
choice of democrats for president. we
felt assured all along that politicians
of the Colquitt, Wolters and Williams
stripe would prevent, if possible, a
primary for either president or United
States senator The truth is, the
voters of Texas will have to deal with
pretty mean set next year; but they
ought TO demand their rights"
The Eagle favors giving the people
a chance to express their choice Tor
president and for senator; but IN the
absence of proof it is ncharitaDle
and unchristian to attribute bad mo-
tiyes to those who do not agree with
us or TO assume that all the mean
ness" is on one side. Remember
brother. thsk charity thinketh no
evil"
But there is good sense and SOUND
reason in this suggestion from the
same paper: IF governors are in
variably to be reelected at the END
of their first terms, even when I'M
desirable, why not elect them for two
terms in the first instance and save
expense?"
