Platform of the Anti-Prohibition Party
Adopted at Dallas May 4th 1887.
1. We oppose u.o punning prohibition
amendment because tt Is a proposition
to change our form of government from
a free republic of sovereign and Inde-
pendent citizens to a species of paternal-
ism hateful to our people. It will take
from the citizen hie most sacred and in-
alienable rights and add to and augment
the powers of government and is there-
fore undemocratic and anti-republican.
3. We oppose this amendment because
It is sumptuary and will vex the citizens
and interfere with individual liberty.
3. We oppose this amendment because
it is at war with the fundamental prin-
cipals of Anglo-Saxon civilization and
will destroy that inalienable right of the
citizen to determine for himself how he
shall pursue his own happiness without
interference with the rights of others
which principle is the basis of our liber-
ties and the sole hope for perpetuity of
our Institutions.
4. We oppose this amendment beenuse
its enforcement will entail upon the
government the necessity of promoting
a system of spies and Informers detesta-
ble to our people and the enactment ol
extreme legislation of doubtful constitu-
tionality and under the sanction of
which our homes may be searched our
property seized and our dearest rights
Invaded. Texas can not hope to escape
these curses which have invariably
attended similar experiments in other
places.
6. Its adoption will suppress the gen-
eral use of milder stimulants and en-
courage the use of the strong drinksand
thus retard the advancement of genuine
temperance. It will stamp as criminal
the manufacture of wines from our do-
mestic grapes for family purposes and
will degrade our drug stores Into dram-
shops and elevate our doctors into auto-
crats of our appetites.
6. It will enable the rich to Import
and use their liquors without taxation
or restraint and will prohibit only
those of our people who are too poor to
buy their liquors in unbroken packages;
and under its operation the saloon will
give place to the gilded club-room for
the rich while the poor will be forced
to make their purchases at low dives
and In violation of law. Such class leg-
islation Is odious to our people and con-
trary to free governme»«*
7. It proposes bf tbe preponderance
of a majority *“ certain sections of the
state to fa* r ®n by force on other sections
a of moral and social conduct and
nauits distasteful and repugnant to the
latter. The varied interests of the sec-
tions in our state have been a prolific
source of care and thought In our states-
manship and this amendment if
adopted will engender a hostile public
sentiment in certain localities fatal to
its enforcement and thus beget a disre-
spect for law and disregard of constitu-
tional authority and will produce last-
ing and permanent evil to our people
and tend to disrupt the state.
8. It proposes to confiscate and de-
stroy without compensation large prop-
erty interests of our people. It will un-
settle business and impair property
values paralyze for a period at least
the commercial interests of our state
and destroy great industries already in
operation for the manufacture of the
milder stimulants. It will abolish the
source of our public revenues fully one-
third and Increase to a corresponding
amount the burden upon lands and the
necessaries of life already over-bur-
dened with the exactions of govern monk

“KEMNALD MAYBURY.”
The letter was delivered to Doctor Heath-
cote as he sat at his solitary breakfast one
brilliantly beautiful morning in the begin-
ning of April. A shadow which for some
weeks had rested on the face of the young
man seemed suddenly to pass away as lie
read the note and his eyes rested on the
parchment which made him uncontrolled
master of the pretty bouse with its gardens
and paddocks which the Heathcotes had
held as tenants of the Mayburys for many
years. Things had not prospered with Guy
lately and many times had it occurred to
him that he must give up Tortleld House as
it was called and seek a smaller al>ode.
Now it was his own however and the rent
of it would no longer make a hole in his
small income; perhaps lie might yet be able
bl ask Mabel to be his wife.
Doctor Heathcote’s heart was light as he
strode across the fields in the direction of
Maybury Court He must see the Squire at
once to thank him for his gift; and as in the
fullness of his heart. Guv poured forth the
tale of his hopes and aspirations into the ear
of his friend lie wondered within himself at
the ashen hue of Reginald’s face and the
quivering of his lips as he wished him suc-
cess in his wooing and prophesied good
things for the future.
That day was an eventful one in
Heathcote’s life. Upon his return holne
from a more than usually hard day’s work
he found a telegram from a solicitor in Lon-
don urging his Immediate presence there on
a matter connected with the recent death of
a distant relative of his mother’s of whom
Guy had never even heard. He hastened
however to obey the summons leaving a
friendly brother-snrgeon in Arlborough to
attend to his patients for a day and upon
his arrival at the lawyer’s chambers in Lin-
coln’s Inn heard in very truth of “some-
thing to his advantage.” Ihe deceased rela-
tive had it appeared been desirous of marry-
ing Guv’s mother but had been rejected in
favor of Doctor Heathcote. He apparently
bore her no ill-will for tills rejection for at
his death a will was found bequeathing to
her and her children all his vast property
with the exception of trilling legacies to
friends and servants.
•‘Now I can marry my darling I” was Guy’s
thought as tlie night-train whirled him back
to Torfield.
‘ Mabel come and help me with this
wreath; it keeps twisting round like a rope.
If there is one thing I amt more stupid at
than another it is church-decorating I It
does aggravate me to see those Matthews
girls so au fait at it!”—and Isabel looked up
hopelessly at her friend who perched on a
stool In the pulpit was Misily engaged in
nailing up a flowery device on tlie wall
above it
Torfield church was*irrendered this Eas-
ter Eve to the tender Percies of the young
ladies of the village Alio were vying with
eacli other In the gofsousness of their deco-
rations.
“WaltTYheUKH'ieft Isabel. This thing
won’t bold—it neanj reaks my am* doing
IL” answered Mabel froh* ier perch.
“Oh here are Doctor Hiljhcote and Regi-
nald! Now we shall do!” ex<Sip®d Isabel.
“You have came in the very nl’cirWiß&s
you two. Here Doctor Heathcote—be char-
itable and do this for me and Reggie yot
go and hold Mabel.” j
Noliody ever thought of disobeying til
heiress; and tlie two young men were sof
busily engaged with floral devices.
“Have you heard of Guy’s good
Miss Linden?” said the Squire as they i/’d
at a little distance from tlie Doctor aniy sa '
bel who were busily engaged upo»^ e
wreath and talking low and
bel feeling a sudden chill as she y#ched
them. "Is he not a lucky fellow? K e is
richer than I am now and I am qiA J ea l"
ous I” he added laughing but withfr B ' ll at
his heart nevertheless. J
“Yes he is rich now. lam gl e he *l®"
serves it” Mabel said ami sighy f° r sh®
thought with a pang of the giJtln se un-
expected riches would make tliem.
Then she continued aloud hog 1 ” H P her
work “How do you like the eg* that?”
“It is charming—perfect I” K
Mabel started and lookeg oin d. The
voice was not Reginald's M Huy Heath-
cote’s.
“What were you thinking. Mabel? You
never heard me come upgff me!” Tlie
tones of his voice were teA‘ r b’ peremptory.
“1 cannot—not now; would rather not”
“Perhaps as the ey<f>t Torfield’s fair
maidens are upon us jgould be better to
defer the explanation./ will hear it when
wc are alone.”
Mabel blushed undyhe mischievous gaze
which rested upon Mo and felt that Guy
Heathcote loved
A little later tw walked beneath the
bright stars to herJnme together; and then
he told her freel* his love and asked her
to be his wife. 7
Se Mrs. Lid<> had her wish for her
daughter marrw the richest man in West-
shire. /
Again it w/ tlie bright springtime. All
Torfield waF>i a state of suppressed excite-
ment for Bginald Maybury was to bring
iAde that day. Triumphal arehus
crossed tire lanes and road to the Court.
And presently a carriage dashed through the
crowd whilst in it bowing and smiling ac-
knowledgments sat the Squire and his wife
—lsabel Maybury.
MY WIDOW.
“Wanted for Australia a lady capable of
taking entire educational charge of three
girls. Applicants must be willing to enter
into a three years’ engagement Liberal
salary and traveling expenses; but no holder
of university certificates will be accepted.—
Apply personally or by letter to E. H.
Queen’s Hotel.”
Here was the third appearance of my ad-
vertisement and the desirable person had
not yet presented herself. Worn out with
interviewing ladies whose only qualification
for the post seemed to be a desire to proceed
immediately to Australia 1 was enjoying a
temporary rest A pile of notes on my right
hand promised me ten more visitors for the
afternoon; but in the presence of tlie waiter
who had Just provided me with a tempting
luncheon 1 had sworn to cease from my
labors till that repast was fairly discussed.
At my third mouthful however the man re-
appeared.
“Another lady sir; and she cannot wait”
“Let her wait or go to Jerichol”—“Yes
sir; I’ll tell her sir.”
He left me; but conscience took all relish
from my repast Visions of my little nieces
growing up in tlie semi-savage state in
wiiich 1 had left them while my apathy and
greed let slip tlie very paragon of instruc-
tresses proved at last too much for me; and
I again summoned William bidding him
ask the lady for her name and address.
He returned with a black-edged visiting-
card.
“ ‘May Somers.’ Affectation to begin
with I” said I. “Why can’t rtie put ‘Miss
May Somers’?”
“A widow sir” William explained gently.
“Young William?”—"Middling young
sir.”
"Do you mean middle-aged William?”—
"Oh dear no sirt”
My rising hopes fell for I remembered
only too well mj' sister’s parting words—-
"Notold Mark dear but certainly not
young or we shall have the expense of
bringing her out here for nothing. She
musn’t be pretty because of all you young
I men; out sue musfi’t on any account be un-
attractive becauscinf tlie children.”
"A person who tn Roman Catholic coun-
tries might be demoted to the bon Dieu!” 1
suggested.
“Exactly. Mark” agreed my still pretty
sister—"ln a word find me some one whom
I you couldn’t fall in love with if you tried."
| "At his age" interposed my brother-in-
law pensively “one sees so few women one
couldn’t fall in love with if one tried.”
“Remember. Mark” added Emily severe-
ly "tlie comfort of tlie house depeinls on the
kind of person you send us.”
1 left her with a much clearer idea of what
she did not want thau of what she did and
the next day was on my way to Europe. My
visit was to be a long one ami cliielly of a
business character. The affairs of our
house needed for a time the presence of a
principal in London. 1 bad given my word
to Emily to attend to her commission first;
but it seemed difficult to fnltill and 1 was
on the point of giving it up in despair when
William announced the “middling young”
widow.
Where could William's eyes have been?
A woman's face must be as ugly as sin to
neutralize such a figure. She was looking
out of the window as 1 entered and the
slight willowy movement with which she
acknowledged my presence struck me most
agreeably. This impression was more than
confirmed by her voice.
Through tlie crape veil 1 got a vague idea
of hazel eyes and waving hair to match; the
rest was undiscoverable. 1 placed a chair
for her purposely facing sudi light as the
November day afforded and I could have
sworn that she smiled as she thanked me
and took awither. It seemed inhuman to
ask a widow to raise her veil; but till she
did so 1 was bringing hut a divided atten-
tion to the matter in hand. In live minutes
I cared more to know what lay behind tfiat
veil than whether my little nieces would be
well grounded in music mwlern languages
and the moralities. Had 1 not promised
Emily to send her only sudti a woman as in
my Judgment could endanger no man's peace
of mind?
Within the last fortnight I had interviewed
some thirty ladies of more or less attractive
appearance; I mid been stern and uncom-
promising with them a very Daniel come to
judgment I can go farther—l can say that
I had Interviewed them with the eyes and
with the heart of a woman seeking a gover-
ness. But to-day Emily’s questions—ques-
tions I was bound to ask and have answered
—etruck me as grossly impertinent. 1 have
since thought that it was my visitor who
asked tlie questions and 1 who answered
them; at any rate I gave her an agreeable
impression of otir part of the world for site
cut short my second happy monologue by
saying—-
“We have discussed that side of the ques-
tion. The situation will suit me; shall I
suit it? If that paper I have seen you refer
to is a list of requirements may I read atid
answer them?”
How gratefully 1 accepted her suggestion!
She carried Emily’s memorandum to the
window whither—when 1 judged tlieaileuee
had lasted long enough—l followed.
“These things will be more satisfactorily
answered by my references” she said. “Stay
—what is this?”
She turned over tlie paper and 1 too leaned
down to read what had hitherto escaped my
notice. Tlie scrawl was this time in my
brother-in-law’s band. It ran—-
“l6th July.—A woman with whom you
could by no amount of trying fall in love.”
"Mrs. Somers 1 give you my word of
honor I did not know that foolery was
there I”
“So I suppose” she returned gently—so
quietly that I was emboldened to add—-
/ "My brother-in-law enlivened with many
small witticisms tlie very serious business of
choosing a governess.”
“I understand” she responded adding
“But the serious part of the business alone
concerns us. Shall I give you my address?
It is for the present that of tlie gentleman
who will answer any questions you may
like to ask.”
She drew Jut anotiier card and under the
"May Somers” wrote “Reverend S. Grey
Claydon Vicarage.” In return I gave her
the address of our London bankers. The
gentle dignity with which she bad helped
us both out of an awkward position urged
me to a more friendly farewell.
“I think” said 1 “that if we come to
terms my little nieces will be fortunate. As
we shall not meet again on this side of tlie
globe let me wish you now a pleasant voy-
age.”
We shook hands and parted having de-
cided that all further arrangements were to
be made by letter. That nigiit my sleep
was broken; charming but confused visions
chased each other before my ejes and the
greater my effort to see clearly the thicker
grew the shadow which had taken the con-
sistency of a crape veil.
During tlie ensuing fortnight my corres-
pondence with Mrs. Somers was incessant
There was much to arrange and in money-
matters tlie lady showed what 1 hoped was
a just appreciation of tier own value. From
my original offer 1 advanced to the utmost
limit assigned me by my brother-in-law and
there I stood firm. At last 1 was allowed to
take her passage. By my advice she was to
start from Southampton; and thither I jour-
neyed some two or three dar s beforehand to
see that everything was arranged for her
comfort Captain Hall with whom I had
made the journey twice before promised to
take special care of the lady; and with a
load off my mind I returned to Rondon to
despatch tlie following letter to Emily—-
“ Dear E.mh.y.— This will reaeh you a
few days before the paragon of governessej.
May she prove worth the trouble I have had
in finding her!
“ ‘ln many mortal forms 1 vainly sought
The shadow of the Idol of my thought’
and was in despair when Mrs. Somers pre-
sented herself. She referred me to the Vi-
car of Claydon who 1 find knew both oar
family and Tom’s in tlie old Somersetshire
days. Odd isn't it? Mrs. Somers is a
widow; but of tlie gentleman who assisted
her to attain that undesirable position I
heard nothing—indeed tlie only relative I
bean! much about was a brother of many
viees and tlie peculiarly British virtue of
having half a dozen more children than be
can keep. This is all 1 know of her belong-
ings; for tlie rest she can teach all you want
taught and is a lady in tlie only sense of the
term 1 recognize. 1 shall be very anxious
to make iier acquaintance for throughout
our first and only interview her charms or
the reverse were thickly veiled; but'l have
at least obeyed your instructions in finding
out a woman 1 couldn’t fall in love with. A
widow witli tlie beauty of an liouri would
have no charms tor
“Your devoted brother
“Mark Stretton.”
A tew days later I was leaving London for
Paris where I intended to take a few days
well-earned rest before going south. As I
sb Kid on tlie steps of the hotel a telegram
was put into my hand. It was from our
head clerk and it was brief and heartless as
such a communication always sounds.
"Mr. Bradshaw found drowned. Beg your
Immediate return.”
My cab was at the door. By taking the
train 1 had originally chosen and by travel-
ing day and night. 1 might join the Aurora
at Brindisi.
How far poor Tom's speculations had led
him to risk our Joint credit whether 1 was
the head of a flourishing firm or a bankrupt
whether 1 was left legally as well as morally
the guardian of Emily’s children were mat-
ters on which tlie next few days gave me
ample time to speculate. It was not till I
shook hands with Captain Hall on board the
Aurora that I remembered Mrs. Somers.
“I’m glad you’ve come to look after that
consignment yourself Mr. Strettqp” he
said with a laugh; “If you hadn't. I’m
afraid those poor children would never have
seen their governess. We're a week out
and the story goes that every single man on
board has proposed to her!”
“Mere want of employment!” I responded
lightly. “They can't all marry her. You
don’t know-how should you?—wliat's tak-
inc me out again so soon.”
"Heaven b!e*s me ? ex-InlUMd tlie Lap-
tain wlitm 1 had t'llifmy ih wa "Business
all straight?”
A shrug was mi only answer and at that
moment two ladies pi*.. । us; one was the
Captain’s wife a lUtle b»'iny I had known
years before tlie other
"Who aver loved thai h v. J not nt first sight?"
Well Ido not quite mean that: but sure 1
am that 1 was looking »t the loveliest figure
and to me. the sweetest face 1 had ever
eeen!
“1 can’t tell you how glad I am to see jon
Mr. blrejton.” said Mi-. ILL' "for Lin
chaperoning two girls ami never leave them
for more than live mniiiti *at a time. I'll
feteh them up here while you ami Mrs.
Somers renew jour acquaintance. What a
pleasant party we shall be now I”
She hurried away and. of the two embar-
rassed people she left Mrs. Somers was the
first to recover »elf-)>ossession.
“You did not recognize me Mr. Stretton.”
“Till now you have not s|K>kcu. and in
our one interview you gave me no chance to
recognize anything but your voice.”
She smiled and in so doing showisl two
white rows of teeth. Had 1 seen that smile
before the many letters and the many
stamps wasted on the Vicar of Claydon
would have been saved; I would have staked
myexistence ujton her wisdom and virtue.
There was. after all something of the face
1 bad imagined under the crape velL She
had hazel eyesand rippling hair to match.
If the complexion lacked color that was
atoned for by lips of the purest carmine.
Tlie expression of the face left nothing to
be desired—at least in my eyes it was calm
and clever but with no want of animation.
W’e seated ourselves In the coiner indi-
cated by Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Somers drew
out her knitting an occupation I found she
was rarely without. A wedding-ring of un-
usual thickness was tlie only ornament about
her and on this my eyes were fixed till she
became aware of my gaze; then the hazel
eyes challenged mine iu not altogether
friendly fashion.
"You altered you plans suddenly” she re-
marked.
“Verjs” I responded shortly for I had
so mind to acquaint her with the cause of
my sudden return; and strange to say. 1
only saw the matter as it might affect Mrs.
Somers. If tilings were ns I fecred Emily
could no more afford a governess at a hun-
dred atlU fifty pounds than she could keep
up her present •stabl&luuent iu other re-
spects.
“Mr. Stretton you are repenting your se-
lection” she said lightly.
"Far from IL" 1 .issnred her adding “but
frankly you are a good deal vouneer than I
supposed.”
She smiled again an amused rather iron-
ical smile.
"Your requirements in that respect as in
others were negative -1 was not to be over
thirty; and’indeed 1 am not over thirty.
Did your sister understand bow little exact-
ing you would be when she irftrusted you
with such a mission?'’
This time tier smile was exasperating.
“However niueli my experience amuses
yon nuCam. 1 must ask leave to think that
1 have fulfilled my mission with the best - ’
“I will not Dy to shake even your faith In
your own penetration.” she interrupted
quite seriously.
She rose as Mrs. Hall and a gentleman
game up to beg for so?ue music. 1 did not
follow them but stayed on deck to smoko
and think of my nuwWquaintance.
What would Emiiv say to me? 1 hail been
but a few bouis s Loan I and c.il i already
vouch for the truth of the <’ ipt.in’s state-
nient;tbe havin'Mrs. Soni r-v is making was
patent evan io me. We h d our Iml comple-
ment of passengers hut very tew ladies and
these were neither pretty nor amusing. Mrs.
Somers had it all her own way; and her
way seemed t > be to ignore a good deal of
the attention lavished on her. She
tle and dignified but kept as the
Captain's wile as a girl in her first season.
Me she honored with a shy confidence of
Which I was very proud. When I found
fiow'‘little she knew of the life to which she
was going 1 thought her faith in her own
penetration at least equalled mine. As the
days wore on I wondered and more
what manner of man was he wT^ u %vinning
such a woman for a wife had left so heart-
whole a widow. I had got into the hnMt of
spending the greater part of the day at her
side for she was an intelligent talker too
speculative to be pedantic and a sympa-
thetic listener; for such a woman one could
have a true passion « a true friendship. I
already enjoyed the one and ignored the
proximity of the other for my prejudice
against widows remained in full force and
was even strengthened by a conversation 1
overheard between tlie Captain's wife and
Mrs. Somers.
"What is any second husband but a pl -
alterf" said tlie last-named lady in the
light energetic tone 1 knew so well.
“I am sorry to hear that you and Mr.
Stretton agree on that matter” responded
the other; “but perhaps. his prejudice
against widows is dying out.”
“I can’t say; Ididnotknaw that he had
one.”
“Prejudice!” went on Mrs. Hall. “I may
call it a ‘fixed idea.’ He once told me no
amount of love could delude him into marry-
ing a woman who but for an accident would
be living with some one else.”
Mrs. Somers broke into one of her rare
laughs.
“He must marry a French girl "one to
whom he may teach everything; for some
men tlie blank page has gre.it ehanns.”
“Not for him” Mrs Hall declared. “Fanqy
a man who talks so much ami so well shut
up with an ingenuer’
“Well” said Mrs. Somers "the ingemie
would soon learn to receive her husband’s
tfrades with "Tliis is the Catholic faith
which except a man believe faithfully be
cannot be saved.’ As it Is I always expect
Mr. Stretton to conclude his own remarks
with Ujat formula.”
