The Tyler correspondent of the Dallas
Herald wants to emigrant?. In a dispatch
to his paper he alludes to Tyler as “the
future great” city of eastern Texas, when
everybody knows that Tyler is already
great—or thinks she is. Correspondents
ought not to allude to a bottle-end, spider-
legged town as going to achieve greatness
when in fact greatness has already been
thrust upon it.
The track on the K. & G. S L. railroad
is laid to within twelve miles of the junc-
tion at Lufkin. The grade on eight miles
of this distance is already completed, and
the remaining four miles, being on the
old grade, will require but little work to
dress it up and make it ready for the tics

Cotton seed oil is taking a prominent
place in the large cities of the world as a
substitute for lard, pork and butter in the
culinary department. It is said to be more
nourishing, purer and more conducive to
health than any of the animal fats, and
we have no doubt of the correctness of
this assumption. Yet,here in this country,
where the seed from which this oil is ex-
pressed is grown, we continue to use the

these gentlemen would recognize even a

The Lampasas Dispatch and the Fort
Worth Gazette are grooming Mayor R.
L. Fulton, of Galveston, for the guberna-
torial race of 1886. It is a long way ahead
of time to be putting scrub stock upon the
track. The idea of running Fulton as a
reform candidate!
Mayor Fulton, of Galveston, puts a
gubernatorial chip on his shoulder, and
dares the Galveston News to knock it off.
He says if he can get the News to oppose
him, it will settle the question of his elec-
tion as governor in 1886. Well, that can
be managed’easily enough, provided Ful-
ton can get his mother-in-law to put up
the tin. The News will go for or against
anything or anybody for money, and it
will need more revenue 'awful bad before
it flattens .out the Dallas Herald.
GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS NOTES.!
Spain.
NO CHOLERA AT MALAGA.
Madrid, July 12.—Mediial journals de-
clare that the health of this city is excel-
lent. There is no cholera at Malaga.
CHEERING.
Madrid, July 13.—A marked decrease of
the cholera epidemic is reported, especial-
ly at Aranjuez.
THE CHOLERA RECORD.
Madrid, July 13.—There were 1417 new
cases of cholera reported in Spain yester-
day and 667 deaths. Cholera has broken
out in four places in the province of Joen.
Forty-two new cases were reported yes-
terday in the province and 18 deaths. The
official report shows a total of 30,000
cases in Spain since the inception of the
scourge up to last evening, and a total of
13,000 deaths.

A CLERK’S ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
Teheran, July 13.—The Russians im-
prisoned the clerk of the English consul
at Askabad and flogged him, and threat-
ened him with death unless he divulged
the names of English agents recently op-
erating on the frontier. Finally, after a
spell of hard labor, they released him. He
has arrived at Meshed. There are numer-
ous indications of Russian aggressive in-
tentions on the frontier.
’The legal fraternity of Rusk held a
meeting on the 3d and adopted a series of
resolutions commendatory of Judge Hob-
by, and requested this paper, among oth-
ers, to publish the same. The reason we
have to offer for not complying with the
request is that the secretary failed to send
them in.
After the bowels aro regulated, one of theso
Pills, taken each day after dinner, is usually
all that is required to complete the cure.
Ayer’s Pills are sugar-coated and purely
vegetable —a pleasant, entirely safe, and re-
liable medicine for the cure of all disorders
of the stomach and bowels. They are
the best of all purgatives for family use.

The Nacogdoches Star says the grading
is complete and the piling all driven on
the Bremond road between Nacogdoches
and Shreveport, excepting the e Sabine
bottom. The piling there will have to be
driven by steam drivers, and cannot be
done until the track has been laid up to
that point. This leaves only a small gap
to be completed before that end of the
road will be completed to the Shreveport
©fid.
The town of Mineola is about to take a
step backward, it seems. A petition was
presented to the city council of that place
on the 7th, signed by a long list of tax-
payers, asking that an election be ordered
on the proposition to discontinue the spe-
cial school tax, and for the town to re-
nounce the control of its public free
schools. It is to be hoped the town will
not make this retrograde movement.
President McConico, of the new
World’s Exposition company, says the
purchase of the World’s Exposition plant
at New Orleans, on the 13th, closes the
last loop hole of doubt as to the reopen-
ing of the exposition, as it establishes the
new company on a definite basis, and en-
ables it to vigorously push forward the
enterprise to completion.
The Waxahachie Mirror gives the lion.
Tom Bowers, now of the Paris Free
Tongue, but formerly of the Panola
Watchman, a heavy jolt in the short ribs
as follows: “ The editor of the Paris Free
Tongue continues to abuse the Hon. Jno.
11. Reagan. He claims that he is respon-
sible for Reagan’s nomination to Congress
and that the congressman has been treach-
erous to him since. The Mirror does not
believe that in the most backwoods neigh-
borhood of eastern Texas there can be
found a man so ignorant as to credit the
Paris editor with the influence he claims,
or the hundredth part of it.” When Con-
gressman Reagan appeared for the first
time as a candidate before the people of
his district, after the removal of his disa-
bilities, Col. Bowers, then editor of the
Panola Watchman, said some very line
things about Mr. Reagan and tossed his
cap high in air for him. After Reagan's
election Col. Bowers thought that his dis-
tinguished services to the congressman
elect in particular and the country in gen-
eral might be appropriately recognized
and rewarded by his appointment to the
position of sergeant-at-arms of the House.
Reagan made a mistake in not perceiving
Bowers’ superior qualifications for the
position, and whether Reagan has noticed
the fact or not, this distinguished editor
has been barking at his heels ever since.
The Dallas Herald says: “When the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat receives and
pays for a special cablegram from Lon-
don, 6000 words in length, and refuses to
publish it because the disclosures of Eng-
lish upper-ten society are ‘so filthy and
indecent,’ the accounts must have been
horrible indeed. When royal blood so
generally revels in such indecencies, there
can be but small hope for the nation’s fu-
ture. Greece and Rome rollicked in then-
rottenness when the day of their destiny
was in its last decline, and the night of
decadence was setting in. In this day and
generation this Maiden Tribute to Modern
Babylon, this story of a pilgrimage to an
earthly hell, should shame the civilized
world and make England bow her head.
Before this traffic that collects from every-
where these human parcels at the great
central mart, in London, to send them
anywhere, recruiting brothels far more
diligently in reference to physique exam-
ination than soldiers for the queen’s army,
the old slave trade of the south pales its
ineffectual fires. The Pall Mall Gazette
has done the world a service in ferreting
out the facts, however much we may re-
gret the ugly publication.”

The public will watch with considera-
ble interest the effort of the Galveston
News to supplant the Dallas Herald in its
own territory. The News has undertaken
a herculean job, and its success would be
a calamity, not only to Dallas, but the
whole state, if the business men of Dal-
las have any reasonable degree of business
sense, not to say gratitude, they will stand
by the Herald, which has been thorough-
ly identified with Dallas from its infancy
to the present time. No agency has been
more potent in promoting the progress
•and prosperity of Dallas and north Texas
than the Herald, and wc predict that the
effort of its rjval to supplant it in its own
territory will have but one effect-—that of
stimulating the Herald to greater efforts,
thereby making it a still better paper.
Mr. Green, of the Tyler Courier, has
been presented with a bamboo stick which
he declares was so crooked that it crawled
out at the window. And that is just what
will become of Tyler’s country trade next
fall—it will crawl off. The truth is, it is
beginning to wriggle sharply already, and
The letter-heads and other specimens of
job-printing from St. Louis for our coun-
ty officials are very creditably done, but
we submit that they could have been done
as well if not better right here at home.
The printing offices in our town are taxed
by the county, and should be given at
least a chance to compete for the printing
wanted by the county.—East Texas News.
Before the late act of the legislature au-
thorizing the county commissioners’ courts
to provide books and stationery for justices
of the peace went into effect, this office
had been furnishing several justices with
court blanks at prices lower than Galves-
ton, St. Louis and Marshall printers were
selling them. But the commissioners’
court made an order requiring justices of
this county to obtain their blanks, etc.,
through the county clerk’s office We so-
licited the order to supply these blanks,
and were invited to put in in a bid, which
we did, with the offer in writing to dupli-
cate the lowest figures of any printer in
Texas or out of Texas, and deliver the
work in Rusk, yet the county clerk in-
forms its that another bid was a little be-
low ours, and that the commissioners’
court directed him to send the order off- to
another town. If the printing office at
Rusk had been bidding for this work we
would have made no effort to get it. But
as that office did not want to handle the
work we made an effort to keep a few dol-
lars in circulation in Cherokee county
which by order of the court has been
withdrawn from us forever.
THE SCANDAL OF LONDON.
The Pall Mall Gazette raised a tempest
of indignation against itself by unmasking
the monster evil of licentiousness and lust
which had struck deep roots in the upper
classes of London society. That paper
organized a corps of detective reporters,
and set them to work to probe to the bot-
tom the ghastly sore that was eating the
moral life out of society in this modern
Babylon of Europe, and when they bad
finished their work, the Gazette exploded
its appalling revelations with such electric
suddenness and force as to shake the very
foundations of the throne of the British
empire. The revelations showed that
right in the city of London, under the sur-
veillance of the queen’s police, there was
a regularly organized and systematic traf-
fic in the chastity of young and innocent
girls- That the patrons of the houses en-
gaged in this methodical and infamous
debauchery were mainly from the higher
ranks of society, including even scions of
the royal stock. That the hapless victims
of this ungodly traffic in worse than
oriental lust were procured by purchase
of girl children from poor parents, by ab-
duction and by kidnapping. That the
government police were privy to the bus-
iness, and even subsidized by the pro-
curesses. The expose of the Gazette deals
in circumstantial details which leaves no
doubt as to the correctness df its revela-
tions. At first the government assumed
to lay its censorious mandate upon the
Gazette, but afterwards adopted the wiser
course of taking steps to stamp out the sin
of pollution which had even smirched the
robes of royalty, and protect innocent
maidenhood from enforced debauchery.
But for the enterprise and the conscien-
tious and zealous work of a newspaper,
this unhallowed work would have gone
on under the shadow of the throne as it
has in the past, but the storm of indigna-
tion which has been raised by the Gazette
exposures, let us hope, will not be quelled
until this scarlet stain of iniquity has been
taken away from the city of the great and
good queen, who, it is said, commends the
Gazette for its work.
Fort Worth is laboring to set her
house in order to receive the confederates
at that place on the 5th of August. The
grounds selected for the confederate re-
union are on the Clear Fork, and 250
yards from the Texas & Pacific’railroad,
which will run special trains to and from
the grounds during the reunion.
It is a curious fact that great orators
seldom fail to be nervous with apprehen-
sion when about to make an important
speech. Luther, to his last years, trem-
bled when he entered the pulpit. The
same is true of Robert Hall. Mr. Gough
confesses he always was in a tremor in
coming before an audience. Many of the
leaders of the house of commons haye
given similar testimony. Canning said he
could always tell in advance when he was
going to make one of his best speeches by
a chill running through him caused by
fear of failure. Lord Derby, the father of
the present earl, when a young man was
one of the most impressive speakers in
parliament. lie was known as the “Prince
Rupert of Debate,” and seemed so self-
possessed as to be incapable of embarrass-
ment. But he said : “When I am going
to speak my throat and lips ai;e as dry as
those of a man going to be hanged.”
Tierney, whom Lord Macauley calls one
of the most fluent debaters ever known,
said he never rose in parliament without
feeling his knees knock together. It is
one of the compensations of nature that
the nervous temperament which occasions
the trembling is also one of the causes of
oratorical success.
Mayor R. L. Fulton depends upon the
stupidity of the country press to enable
him to get up .a gubernatorial boom for
’86. Heaven is benign to all, and, as if to
make amends for lack of sense, gives
brazen cheek and unadulterated gall.
An Atlanta wholesale merchant comes
to the front and exclaims : “I am near GO
years of age, am a merchant of this city,
and claim considerable experience. For
many years my kidneys have given me
great trouble, attended with much pain.
My appetite failed and general health de-
clined. Nothing that money could secure
ever gave me relief until I used B. B. B.,
which was magical on me. I say to you,
old man, young man, if vour kidneys give
you any trouble, use one bottle of B.B.B.,
and be cured on my recommendation.”

Sam Jones, the evangelist, has declared
his analysis of the character of areal mean
man. He says that the man who will not
give anything to aid in building churches,
school houses, public highways, library
halls, charitable institutions, etc., is not a
good citizen generally, but is always mean
enough to be the first man to raise the
rents on his houses in a town where the
enterprise and money of other and better
men have been expended to make his
property valuable. He takes all that is
within reach, asking no questions for con-
science’s sake, and gives nothing. Every
town has one or more men who will fit
Sam Jones’ descriptive list of a m. m-
Whenever a town has only a few such
characters it may outgrow them, if they
do not get possession of an undue propor-
tion of its real estate. But the town which
falls under the sway of such men, or, in
other words, of avarice and selfishness, is
doomed from that very hour, and the lib-
while Green is trying to hold his foot on era! and enterprising men of such a town

that the vessel cannot be accepted; that

large sum of money paid to him may be
recovered. Mr. Roach can now sigh and
regret that he did not complete his fraud

TYLER SUMMER NORMAL SCHOOL.
Tyler, Tex., July 14. 1885.
Mr. Editor:—Knowing your interest
in everything pertaining to education, 1
thought a line from our summer norma)
would not be amiss. The exercises are
held in the building formerly used as the
East Texas university. As I entered the
room, so well furnished with comfortable
scats, the walls adorned with maps, pic-
tures and girt with blackboards, I felt
how delightful to teach with such sur*
roundings, and how much do the people
of Tyler appreciate the great educational
movement of the day. The question has
been mooted and will perhaps be heard
from in the next legislature, as to the at-
tendance on these summer normals being
made compulsory. No progressive teach-
er, or one loving his work, or desiring to
bring the best of everything to his school
room can afford to remain at home, while
these intellectual feasts are spread for his
enjoyment and benefit. 1 found thirty-
four teachers in attendance, and more ex-
pected. Prof. Pennybacker calls the
school to order at 9 a. m.; music, reading
of the Scriptures and prayer, and then the
earnest work of the day begins. Prof.
Pennybacker seems deeply impressed
with the responsibility of the teacher’s
work. His lectures, on the theory and
practice of teaching we listened to with
profound attention. His methods of in-
struction are exemplified by Miss Nibloch,
who has charge of the primary grade in
the Tyler public schools. She gives all in-
struction by object lessons. Her illustra-
tions are good and practical. The little
children of her model class seem as much
pleased to receive as their gentle teacher
is to give. She seems to possess that vir-
tue which every successful teacher must
have, and which is the gate-keeper to all
avenues of knowledge—patience. One
must be enthused to breathe this atmos-
phere, and feel that one’s energies will be
renewed,and resolutions to do good work
strengthened by these delightful exer-
cises. So far we have discussed primary
work only; to-morrow we begin a step
higher. More anon. E. G. Miller.
