DAILY DEMOCRAT • ADVANCE.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 10,1882.
We are going to have a State university
sure—Dr. Wooten, of Austin, is having
the ground fenced for that purpose.
St. Louis has had a hanging, and seems
to feel better. It will have to repeat the
ceremony a grt at many times before the
public mind will belhva that St. Louis is
not the safest place on the continent to
“kill your mau.”
If the Republican party are in dead
earnest about bringing the star route
thieves to justice, they should
turn the matter oveFto Mr. Tilden. He
has made the only successful fight against
this species of robbery.
The saddest moment in the history of a
young man’s life is when he conceives
the idea of getting a dollar without
squarely earning it.—Horace Greely.
We clip the above truism from the Age
of Progress. It is pretty solemn argu-
ment against fiat money.
All the navigable rivers in the United
States have been open for navigation dur-
ing the entire winter. This has not hap-
pened before for more than a century-
Whatever else may he said of the winter,
it has certainly been a fayorable one for
trade.
Count yon Moltke, the great Prussian
general, is about to retire to private life.
During the past twenty or thirty years he
had a reputation second to that of no gen-
eral in Europe. His age and consequent
feebleness is assigned as the cause of his
retirement.
A London paper has this to say of our
country:
“The United states nowjform a very pow-
erful, a very warlike, a very wealthy, and,
politically speaking, a very unoccupied
nation,” and from these characteristics it
thinks a vigorous foreign policy may
spring and assert its manhood.
THAT MAJORITY,
The Houston Age, a journal of many
admirable qualities, but one that has no
conception of political independence, pro-
pounds the following interrogatory:
If the Waco Examiner, Galveston Neios
and San Antonio Express really believe
that the Democratic majority in Texas is
too large to be healthy, why don’t they
openly declare that they will work to re-
duce it?
To our minds there is no special efforts
to bring about reduction. The work of
diminution is going on steadily, and we
think naturally, demonstrating that the
people, and true source of power1 have con-
cluded that overwhelming majorities are
not conducive to the welfare of the
state, of the party, or of society. The
majority is diminishing with every election
until we can anticipate a period, very near
at hand too, when political forces in this
state will be adjusted on something like a
healthy basis. We will prove this to the
#gc—by official figurt s, too. In 1S76 the
vote for Governor (which is always
the criterion.) was as follows:
Coke (dem.)................................150.523
Chambers (rep.)........................... 50,000
Democratic majority..............100,523
For 1878 the record shows up as fol-
fows:
Roberts (dem.).............................158,933
Hamman (greenback).................... 52.002
Norton (republican)....................... 23,402
Democratic majority.............. 83,529
In 1880 the parties rallied to the polls
again and once more we quote the offleia 1
figures:
Roberts (dem,).............................160,101
Davis (rep.)................. 64.382
Hamman (greenback).................... 33,721
The New York Herald says if grand
juries would make it a rule to mdict the
railroad officials of every company t hat
allows a tram to go crashing through a
bridge, there would soon be no such acci-
dents to record. We think the remedy is
worth a trial.
The Legislature of Mississippi, will to-
day elect a Senator to succeed Mr. L.'Q.
C. Lamar. As he is a candidate for re-
election and has no opposition, it would
be safe to say he will be his own suc-
cessor. His re-election will be a deseryed
tribute to au able man.
From present indications, it seems the
competition between the Pullman and
Wagner car companies is to be settled by
a consolidation of the two companies into
one. This may prove a good thi ng for
the5companies, but we doubt it the travel-
ing public derives any benefit from it.
Weatherford is determined to be
ahead of Fort Worth in something. The
last number of the Weekly Weatherford
Commercial'IIerald boasts that its head is
longer than ours. Well, we give it up it
is, but by the time the Galveston Journal
gets through with you, you will wish it
was shorter.
The visit of Jay Gould to St. Louis, is
the subject of a great deal of speculation
as to the purpose thereof, and various and
divers reasons are published in the city
papers. We presume that Mr. Gould
went to St. Louis on business—he would
hardly go there for pleasure—and what
that business is, is certainly no body’s
business.
Thd Galveston Journal thus describes
President Arthur’s situation and the pow-
ers that move him:
Arthur is called “Ilis Accidency,” “Act-
ing President,” “Accidental President,”
etc.; hut he goes on Pinpointing Stalwarts
to office just the same. Arthur owes his
present position to Guiteau, not to the
half-breeds; and as he can not consistently
consult the assassin as to measures of na-
tional policy, he goes to his next best
friends for counsel, and thus Grant, Cam-
eron aud Conkling rule the roost.
We have received the first number of
the Sunday Mercury, published at Dallas,
byE. G. Rust & Co. It claims to be an
“independent home journal,” is a five-
column quarto, and is published weekly
for one dollar per year. The present
number is a very good one, so far as se-
lections and editorial matters are con-
cerned. Its mechanical execution is not
good, but this we suppose, will be im-
proved.
As an evidence of how the American
citizen can climb from the lowest to the
highest position in this country, we give
the following item:
There are two G>npressmen now serv-
ing who commenced life as pages in the
national house, and a Senator whose start
in life was as a page in the Senate. The
Congressmen are Townshmid, of Illinois,
and Wise, of Virginia. The Senator is
Gorman, of Maryland.
Who says this is not a gteat country lor
active, industrious, energetic men ?
When the New York Su b-treasury was
turned oyer to the new Sub-treasurer,
Mr. Acton, the money there s’ored was
counted. There were twenty-five million,
six hundred thousand dollars, or about
eight hundred tons of silver. This beats
Gov. Robert’s casli balance too bad to
think about. We wonder if he will not
amoke his pipe in shame when he contem-
plates the magnitude of these figures
By the way it does uot seem that a firan-
cial panic is anyways imminent when
such large amounts accumulate in the
vaults of the government.
Democratic majority............... 67,998
These are the figures. From 100,523 in
1876. the major ty had declined to 67,998
in 1880—a loss of 32.525 votes. Are these
figures devoid of logic, and will
the Age undertake to say
they have no significance? They
are a rebuke of many of the measures
instituted and persisted in by the Dem-‘
ocratic party of Texas. Without its
ovei whelming majority the party would
have lacked the confidence to pursue the
course it has chosen with reference to
many questions of public policy. It was
intrenched, to its thinking, behind an im-
pregnable majority of a hundred thousand
and it waxed bold ancl reckless. The
result was inevitable in a Stale where the
suffragans are intelligent. The people
commenced to cut down this threatening
majority. They diminished it 16,994 votes
in 1878, when Gov. Roberts made his first
race. It was still too large for the people,
for in 1880, when Goy. Roberts offered for
his second term, they reduced the major-
ity of 1878 by 15,631 votes—a total reduc-
tion of 32,525 within four years. The
Examiner and thousands of Democratic
voters cannot ignore these lessons. Ancl
yet, when as Democrats we propose
to accept the logic of events end draw
wisdom therefrom, journals of the
Age's way of thinking are ready to
characterize such acceptance and de-
ductions as a lack of fealty to the Demo-
cratic party. The Examiner was bat-
tling for Democratic supremacy before the
Age was in existence. But we learn as
we live, and when we find that this or
that thing is impairing the usefulness of
the Democratic party we propose to try
and help remedy it. We find that a hun-
dred thousand majority is distrusted and
feared by the people—by Democrats them-
selves, no less than the opposition. We
believe that a smaller preponderance
would make the party more careful, more
sagacious, more conscientious in its con-
trol of p'ublic affairs. Given these quali-
ties, it will be inherently strong, resting
its claims to public confidence upon its
own merits and the intelligence of the
people. The majority is being pruned
do vn fast enough, and, as a Democratic
journal, the Examiner views the process
with satisfaction. The tree will be health-
ier, bear better fruit aud live the longer.—
Waco Examiner.
The Democrat-Advance joins the Ex-
aminer in the expression of satisfaction
that the Democratic majority in Texas is
being reduced. Time and again we have
expressed the opinion that the numerical
strength ot the party was its moral weak-
ness; that by reason of its vast majorities
the party became careless and reckless in
its acts and its expressions. So long as a
candidate can feel as Judge Hunt did
when, in addressing the Dallas conven-
tion subsequent to his nomination, he
said, “1 am elected now,” just so long
the party will be guilty of indiscretions.
Had the majority in 1878 been smaller,
the scenes witnessed in the Austin con-
vention would never have occurred. But
for the numerical strength of the party,
better, ab'er and more efficient men would
be elected to fill the offices, and we would
see less arrogance and more efficiency in
those selected to administer the laws.
We would regret exceedingly to see the
reins of government pass into the hands
ot the Republican or any other party, in
Texas, but we shall shed m tears over a
greatly reduced majority.
On Friday last the President sent an in-
teresting >-nd important document to the
Senate, calling the attention of Congress
to the necessity for immediate legislation
in amending the postal law in reference to
•tar rou - contracts. The document was
an elaborate report of the inspectors of
the post office department “giving the
results of a long, tedious investigation ot
frauds connected with bidders’ bonds and
contractors’ sureties. The most costly
and extensive star routes are those lying
in the far Western states and territories.
Contracts for carrying the mails on all
these routes were made beginning 1st. of
July, 1878, and expiring the 13th ot June,
1882, contracts covering these routes
must be let again. The routes have been
advertised and the bids must all be sub-
mitted on or before to-morrow. The
awards are to be made in March. There
are more than 3,000 of these routes, a nd it
is thought probable that between 30,000
and 40,000 bids will be submitted. Each
bid must be accompanied by a properly
executed bond. It ha3 beeu discovered
that in a great many cases the bonds giv-
en four years ago and during Brady’s
time were absolutely worthless, thus leav-
ing the government without any remedy
in the event of the failure ot contrac-
tors.”
There is no way to prevent these same
men from making bids and again filing
straw bonds. Congress is asked to de-
vise some means by which this may be
prevented, but exactly how it is to be
done has not yet transpired. As the
award of contracts for the next four years
are to be made in March, it becomes im-
peratively nece33ary that Congress should
act at once.
The Houston Post noticing the continu-
ed allusions of the head of the Democrat-
Advance, in the Galveston Journal has
this to say on the subject:
Does not the Journal perceive that if it
keeps up the attack our neighbor will
keep up its prodigious name. We entreat
the Journal to subside and allow our
friends, in clue time, to take up the scis-
sors and snip off a piece of its ta—head.
The long-headedness of the Democrat
Advance seems to give our contempora-
ries more trouble than seems necessary
under the circumstances. Why don’t
they direct some of their amunition at the
Globe-Democrat, Courier.Journal, Times-
Dernocrat, and other long and double-
headed papers? We have to say once
more that we will abbreviate our head
when—we get ready.

ELMOVED.
Howard & Co., Jewelers,
The Weatherford Commercial having
enjoyed its holiday boom, has gotten back
to its old size Wre are pleased to know
that Weatherford can get up a boom, ev -n
if it is omv during the holidays. As
large a town "as it is. prospectively, ought
to ghe its daily paper a very liberal sup
p0rt—Fort Worth Democrat-Advance.
Brother Haddock, we doubt seriously it
your boasted booming town, when size is
taken into consideration, gives your paper
half the support as does Weatherford the
Commercial. Judging from recent news
regarding the Waxahachie tap, Weather-
ford wilt soon have a boom that will
eclipse any holiday or other boom that
Puutherviiie ever experienced.
We hate, under any circumstances, to
hurt the feelings of our Weatherford
neighbor, but we can’t help from replying
to the above by saying if its support is as
liberal in proportion as ours, it does not
invest as much of its receipts in improv-
ing its paper as v.e do. Would the Com-
mtrcial dke it if we were t© suggest, ih-.t
the difference in the size and business of
Fort Won th aud Weatherford was as great
as is between the t wo papers?
THE DALLAS REPUBLIC AD’S-
The Republicans of Dallas, like the
other people of Dallas, are continually
engaged in some sensational scheme
which keeps the “party” in a turmoil, and
occasionally the contagion spreads so as
to include other people who are indi-
rectly interested in their movements.
Just at present the party is rent in twain
over the division ; of the spoils, and be-
tween Norton, Stone, Cochran, Bigger,
Whissen, ei id omnss genus, one can scarcely
tell who are the loyal and wiio are the re-
calcitrant Republicans.
In the scramble for the spoils of office
the people have no interest, but, there is a
quesion which hinges upon this in which
a few of the people are interested, and that
is the location ot the postoffice. It is now
located on Main street. If Norton holds
his influence and Whissen retains the
po-foffice, it may be moved to Norton’s
building on Elm street. Such a move-
ment is incubating in Washington in a
quiet way. The parties in interest have
managed to keep quiet thus far, but the
Democrat-Advance has it from a relia-
ble source that such a movement is being
worked up. Ot course the eal estate
owners and business men on Main street
will “kick” when they find it out. If
they discover it too late to checkmate it,
it will be their fault, that they do not
subscribe for, and read this paper.
Some idea of the immense business dot e
in stocks by the New York Stock Ex
change may be formed from the statement
during the year just closed it has handled
the enormous number of 128,162.464
shares of stock. Estimating the shares at
one hundred dollars, this stock would
represent about twelve billion dollars.
This enormous business was done by
about eleven hundred brokers. Estimat-
ing their commissions at the usual rate,
their fees would amount to thirty million
dollars. This, it must be remembered,
only includes the business done in stocks.
Doubtless if the business done by the cot-
ton, wool and other exchanges was known
it would more than double these figures.
Among six other reasons given for issu-
ing the Dallas Sunday Mercury is the fol-
lowing:
2d. That there is room, yea, a great
necessity, for a first-class, truly indepen-
dent, high-toned family paper in Dallas.
Shades of the departed ! Won’t the
Herald weep and the Times mourn over
such a charge! The idea that the Herald
is not independent and the Times high-
toued! Whew! how they will gnash their
teeth at it. Sakes alive, how it strikes
each one ot them in their most vital and
vulnerable point. We breathe freer now
that there is a prospect ot Dallas having
one high-toned, truly independent paper,
and truly hope it may have a good moral
effect upon the city.

Where the Train Was.
There were a dozen of us waiting at the
station near Strasburg, Va., tor the noon
train, Every one had cut his dinner short
to catch the train, but the hour arrived—
five—ten—twenty minutes passed, and
then everybody wendered what had hap-
pened. The ticket agent was also the tel-
egraph operator. He was a young fell ow
of about twenty, ill-grained and super-
cilious, but impatience overcame the tear
of him, and a woman stepped to the win-
dow and asked:
“Is the train late?”
“Urn!” he growled in reply.
“Bow late is it?”
“Urn!”
That finished her, and she resumed her
seat. Five minutes more slipped away,
and a yery solemn looking man, carrying
a very solemn-looking carnet-lag, ad”
vanced from his corner and began:
“Train is late, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“How Jate is it?”
“Urn?”
“What’s the cause of it?”
No answer.
He hung around for a minute longer,
and then solemnly marched back to ”his
seat and gave some one else a chance to
get bluffed.
After the fifth one had been turned
away, a short, grizzly-headed man, who
had been whittling a shingle on the plat-
form and Booiy humming “We Won’t G-'>
Home Till Morning,” entered the waiting-
room, io ;ked up at the clock, and then
sauntered to the ticket window and
queried:
“Whs’s that trail!?”
The young man was looking over some
freight bills, aud he did not raise his
head.
“Whar’s—that—train?” repeated, the
Whittier in a louder voice.
The agent looked up for a second, but
let his eyes fall without answer.
“Whar’s—that—-train?” shouted the pas-
senger, as he brought his fist down on the
sheif.
No answer. After waiting ten seconds
he walked out doors, turned ‘ to the right
and suddenly entered the ticket office
through the freight house. Walking
straight, up to the agent he reached over
the table and seized him, pulled him
across like a streak of lightning, and as he
gave him a shake and jammed him in a
c fner he called out.
“Wear in the thunder and blakes is that
’ar train?'’
-It’s coming!” gasped the agent.
“When—whar—whies?”
“In about t-wenty minutes!”
“What made’er late?”
“The engine broke down at Winches-
ter.”
“Then why in Crockett’s name didn’t
ou say so in the fust place? Young man,
ake a squar’ look at, me! I ain’t party,
nor genteel, nor saintly, bat I’m plumb
up and down and mean bizness. When a
man asks me how hogs ar’ selling I’m
going to giye him a civil answer it it
cracks three ribs, and when I ask you
why that dog-goned old bulgine hasn’t
snoiued you’ve got to hear me, or down
come; your trestle works! Do you
catch on?”
Y-yes—certainly-
be here soon ot
coarse.”
Then the solemn man rose up, took his
cat in his hand and passed it around for
money, and we felt like raising a million
do.lars for the solid man as a token of
our love and gratitude.—Detroit Free

A few days since the wires flashed the
news that (Senator Coke had stated that
the Democratic party in Texas was tailing
to pieces ot its own weight We thought
at the time it was a very foolish state-
ment tor a man who is a candidate for
^--election and must depend upon the
Democratic party for votes. As soon as
he saw the report; he indignantly denied
ir. Instead of its tailing to pieces he savs
he thinks the Democrats will carry rhe
state by at least 75,600 majority. We
think the Senator’s head is level on this
point.
The Whittaker Farce.
N, Y. Herald.
It is reported as possible that all the
proceedings in the Whittaker court martial
may be held void because the court was
convened without the proper formalities,
and was consequently not held according
t) law. Let us hope that there is not quite
so much imbecility in the administration
as this would imply. Whittaker was sup-
posed to have scratched his ears with
a scissors, to give the notion that an our-
rege had bee- committed against him and
to es -ape under ti e dust that this would
fai-e rhe penalty tor failure in his studies.
Certainly he did not miscalculate the
amount of dust, for two tedious trials
left the point in issue so far doubtful that
there was still room for dispute, and now
a want of technical regularity in the rec-
ord may invite a repetition of all that
wretched reproach upon even military
me!hods of doing justice, Is the govern-
ment afraid of Whittaker and what Whit-
taker implies, and does it merely pretend
this technical difficulty in order to defeat
the adverse judgment ot the court?
