B. B. Paddock,
Publisher Daily and Weekly Democrat
November 1,1878.
The electrotype cuts sent us by
advertising agencies for insertion
in these columns are very useful
as paper weights. Send ’em along.
There seems to be a deep laid
plot to kill olf the crowned heads
of the world. Perhaps Ulysses
had better turn his steps home-
ward.
The Commereia l now mates John
Cochran for speaker of the next
house of representatives. It is
unnecessary to remark that the
gentleman is from Dallas.
Gen. McKenzie has captured
another vacant encampment of
either Mexicans or Indians. The
good work goes bravely on, and
the cattle and horses of the bor-
der citizens go on—across the
river.
The ^cipated change in the
p^i-aent’s southern policy is the
topic of discussion with the metro-
politan press. The idea that the
president is president of the Uni-
ted States and should have no
“ policy ” other than a fair and
impartial administration of the
constitution and laws, seems not
to have occurred to him or those
who are discussing his “policy.”
We see no reason why there should
be one policy for Louisiana and
another for Massachusetts. Both
are alike sovereign states and en-
titled to the same consideration
and treatment at the hands of the
executive. The St. Louis Repub-
lican entertains no fears of any
change looking to a more rigorous
treatment of the South—not be-
cause the president is unwilling,
but because he is powerless to lay
his mailed hand upon the section
that has already suffered much by
presidential “policies.” That pa-
per says that even “ if he desires
to send the armies back to the
Southern states—which we do not
believe—the present Democratic
house and the next Democratic
congress would not permit it. The
experiment, fully made under Mr.
Grant, proves that an army police
in the Southern states brings more
harm than good, not only to the
South but to the whole country,
and we are sure the present admin-
istration has no purpose of repeat-
ing it. If there have been intimi-
dation and violence practised to-
wards the colored voters in any
part ol the South for the purpose
of preventing them from voting, it
is not only his right but his bound-
en duty to execute the laws against
the offenders with exemplary rig-
or, and the whole country will up-
hold him in the performance. We
cannot tell how much truth there
is in the Republican charges of
massacres of colored people in
Louisiana and intimidation in South
Carolina.”
There is MONEY in It.

If some philanthropic Fort
Worthite wants to hand his name
down to posterity let him clean up
one of the streets. It could be
done for twenty-five dollars, and
oue clean street might set an ex-
ample that would be imitated by
others.
A number of New York gentle-
men have purchased one thousand
acres of land north of this city,
and have gone to work to improve
it. With such accessions as these
it will matter but a little if the
railroad goes on or remains in
statu quo.
Alex. H. Stephens doesn’t be-
lieve that the financial question
had anything to do with the loss
of Connecticut, New York or New
Jersey. We are inclined to the
opinion that a paucity of Demo-
cratic votes was the sole cause of
the defeat.
The upstart that rose to a point of or-
der after sitting down upon the aggres-
sive end of a pin was assured by a" chair
that tlie point was well taken.—Common-
wealth.
There is more point to that par-
agraph than to one hundred and
fourteen pages of Evarts’ note to
Lord Saulsbury.
I
The mother-in-law comes in for
an average portion of abuse in the
way of hard sayings, and is the
butt of every ill-natured para-
grapher, but it seldom turns out
that she is as badly treated as the
one an emigrant wanted to leave
by the roadside near Sedalia, Mo.
A mob compelled the unnatural
man to take the incumbrance with
him.

Without disparagement to the
abilities, statesmanship or patriot-
ism of G. Washington Jones, the
newly elected congressman from
the Fifth district, it cannot but be
regarded as a state and national
misfortune—indeed, a calamity,
that John Hancock was defeated.
There is not, nor has there been
since the war, a man in congress
‘'"om the South capable of wield-
" much influence as Judge
His superior ability,
