dall. When a people or a parry or
an individual forget favors render-

or favor. Sam Randall should not
be permitted to stand in the way of
tariff reform, but he is a gentlemen
and a brave, honest statesman.—

tion into their own hands ami lev-
ied a tax of S250 on every China,
man who comes. This is in viola-
tion of British.Chinese treaties,
and the Chinese government has
sent a complaint against it to Lon-
don. The Loudon government will
find it a difficult and dangerous
question to handle, for, while it is
bound to maintain its treaty con-
tracts with China and to preserve
its trade with Eastern Asia, it bus
to deal with prosperous and power
ful colonies that care neither for
treaties nor trade when Chinese
immigration is involved. They
discern the danger of an overwhel-
ming irraption of yellow Celestials
from the swarming Chinese coasts,
and have made up their min is to
resist it. A tact that aggravates the
difficulty is that the Australians ex
tend their hostile legislation to the
British Chinese of Hong Kong,
which is virtually the same as for-
bidding the immigration of British
subjects from Scotland or Canada.
The relations between England and
her more powerful colonios are
gradually assuming tho character
of the relations between the mother
country and tbe American colonies
in 1775, and it is plain to be seen
tbat nothing can overcome tbe
weighty leverage of the great and
growing distant provinces. They
must eventually break off from the
parent trunk arid sot up for them-
selves. It is not in the nature of
things for grown-up children to
take the !tVW from parents forever.

People cannot eat their cake and

do their civil duty by serving in
their turn on juries, as now many

long sermon to impress upon the
mind of any sensible man the truth
that what is deemed a subject for
shirking by a large percentage of
those who are fit, and what is thus
relegated in great measure to a
class of semi-professional hangers-
on of courts, must degenerato into
au irresponsible performance. If,
therefore tho practice of shirking
jury is not reformed away by a
movement among the classes of
men who are the pillars of society
there will ultimately be no reas -
able alternative but tho adoption
of a system which has somewhere
been proposed as a substitute for
the present jury system. It will be
demanded that (be professional
juror be made an institution, but
he must bo a person quailfied by

This is what another generation of

The debate in the Presbyterian
Assembly at Philadelphia during
the last few days in regard to the
position of the colored race in the
South, is full of interest and in-
stuction.
The point under discussion, brief
ly, is this: There is a strong move-
ment to unite the Northern and
Southern Presbyterian churches,
and the chief obstacle is the negro
question. The Southern body be-
lieve tbattlie colored people should
be organized into seperate presby-
teries and synods, while their
Northern brethren hold they
should bo incorporated into the
general organization. That this
difference of opinion is so deep at
present as to bo practically irre-
concilable, is shown pretty clearly
by the fervid oratory of Dr. Pax-
ton on Friday, when he prayed
that the curse of God might rest on
the day the negro “left tho sunny
shores of Africa and touched the
shores of our own America."
The Assembly found itself unable
to agr°e u on any definite action,
and tho matter was referred to
committee, where it will probably
slumber peaceably. That this was
a wiso course we think there can
bo little doubt. The social problems
tbat have arisen from tho urusa
civilizatian of the South will work
out their own solution naturally
but they cannot be forced any more
than tbe Czar of Russia can 8top
nihilistic plots by throats of dyna-
mite. It was the recognition o
this fact tbatcaused the Assembly
to take the action that it did.
The majority of our Republican
editors have yet to learn this truth.
The colored people of tho South
are perfectly competeut to take
care of themselves. Every year
their position is improving, and
will steadily continue to improve.
The leaders of their race are ad
vancingin education, power anc
social standing, and if not hamper-
ed by outside interference thoy
will settle quietly and peaceably,
and in a comparatively short timo,
t he troubles that confront their race
But the solution of those questions
will be hindered, not hastened, by
the interference of Church or State

A BAD MAN.
It will be a great many years yet
until our great state becomes so
filled up and thoroughly known
abroad that the many w ild tales of
border life and the halo of romance
which surrounds the doings of the
famous cow boys will cease to be
received as gospel truth by the ad-
venture-loving young man of , the
old states. There is a steady in-
flux to our population of candidates
for cow boy and indian fighting
fame. They come expecting to
find our broad prairies the home of
the indian and the desperado, and
prepared to join the ranks cf the
semi-wild cow hoys and carve out
a name for himself as a leader of
the wild hordes and add fresh pages
to the history of a hero producing
country.
Such a boy as this passed through
Temple last Wednesday. He
came from Alabama, and accord
itig to his own statement had nev-
er been twenty-five miles from
home in his life. He was bound
for Coleman, from which point he
intended striking one of the big
stock ranches and identifying
himself henceforth with the gay
cavaliers of the Llano Estacado.

The Business Outlook.
That Temple’s business men have
passed through a distressingly hard
season, and that money matters
were possibly never so “tight” as
the past few months no one will
deny. Many business enterprises
in the city have weathered a most
severe storm, and no doubt that a
number of them have only bridged
the worst, through the magnificent,
banking facilities that have been
afforded one and all at the hands
of our worthy banking institutions.
Tho worst can now be counted
as over. “Every cloud has a silver
iir.ing,” and the dark storm that
seemed bent upon settling not alone
upon Temple, but the entire state,
is fii-t passing away and a new
order ot aflairs is coming
upon us. Small grain in ibis
section is far above tbe av-
erage. Harvesting began last
Mom.lay. !id soon the golden !:t
will arrive upon our streets in
large quantities. Corn is doing
fine and gives promise of an abun-
dant yield. Cotton is late on ac-
.-.i.iot of the continual rains, but
with fair weather for a while it
will spring up, and tbe industrious
farmer will find himself blessed
with ns promising a crop of cotton
as was ever seen in this county.
Withal!, the advent of the market-
ing of the immense grain crop
gives promise of an immediate im-
petus to all lines of business, which
no doubt will soon make itself felt.
