"Extreme political)* at lliis season
of tlio year is indicative of political
aspirations" sh\h art exchange.
The papers of I lie Eleventh dis-
trict are urging a monument erected
to the memory of tin- lamented Con
gressman Crain.
The Fort Worth (iasette asks:
"What ails the democratic party?"
to which the Age replies: "Noth
ing much; what's the matter with
you 16 to l-ers'r"
"Some of the political booms that
are now sproutiug arc destined to
become withered beneath the scotch-
ing rays of the Summer sun," says
the lkenham Banner.
Harnett Gihbs. to whom the popu-
lists are looking to r.s "their Moses to
bring them out of the wilderness," it
is said, owes the city of Dallas J? 12,-
942.01 cents back taxes. A bright
convert.
"There are entirely Un many
meetings held. People attend meet-
ings when they should be at home at
work in the garden," says the News,
bui does not say what kiud of meet-
ings is meant.
The Philadelphia Times asserts
that at no time in the history of the
republic have there been so few ex-
presidents, widows of presidents and
defeated candidates for president and
vice-president surviving as there are
to-day.
The Texas Division of United Con-
federate Veterans are called to meet
at Dallas, June 24th and 2.">th.
Major-General Boone, commanding
the division, requests all the differ-
ent camps of the stale to be repre-
sented.
The Tyler Democrat-IJcporter as-
serts that no other state in tins
Union can show a press so strong, so
clean and so influential for g od as
is the press of Texas, including Doth
daily and weekly papers. This may
be saving a good deal, but it is every
word the truth.
The Galveston New- lias it down
about correct : "Leading populists
will hardly join in \o help the Dud-
ley i tea unless the latter will get out
of the offices and let the former have
a shake at the pie." '1 he average
populist leader is too confident of
certain victory, to think of a union
with any party or clique, that calls
for a division of the offices or a
share of the spoils.
Brother Kouutree, of the Star-
Vindicator, is informed that Judge
Garwood is not a candidate for Con-
gress, and has not been. No man
in this district has done more to ad-
vance the cause of his party in the
past, and no man can be more *afelv
relied on when the battle i- on, than
lie. He is a national sound moncj
Democrat. lie wants no office.
When he does he will say so. and if
the voices of those who fight the bat
ties of the party, control, he will
get what he wants.
TheTimcs has no apologies to offer
for its hearty endorsement, of the ad-
ministration of Grover < levelaiid.
During the time lie has been presi-
dent he has paid off 11,000,000 of
our oonded indebtedness and after
his first term left $230,000,000 in the
treasury to further reduce the debt.
Taxes have been reduced 2a per cent
on an average, bounties amounting
to not less than $15,000,000 annually
have been cut off, and fraudulent
pensioners curtailed. The issue of
bonds has amounted to $262,000,000
leaving a net reduction of the public
debt of about $300,000,000. Public
credit has been sustained, though the
republicans left a bankrupt treasury,
"We are working in the interest
of the masses," "We represent the
masses." "1 he masses are with us,'
aif favorite expressions with our
populist friends. To the well inform
ed the last two of these expressions
must seem rediculous in the extreme.
Ir, the last presidential election the
popular vote was, democratic 5,553,-
112, republican .r , 186,981, populist
1,030,12^, and prohibitionist, 267,
361. The electoral vote was, demo
eratie 27.r , republican, I I*), and pop-
ulist 18. In Alabaui'.i there were
some republican fusions with the
populists, ami in Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota
Nevado a-ul Wyoming, there were
demo. r:ttie fusions with the populists.
In each case total fusion vote is
counted for Weaver in the total pop
ulists vote given above. In Min-
nesota the Weaver electors hail Dem-
ocratic endorsement, and in Oregon
the one Weaver elector with demo-
cratic endorsement was elected. So
we are confronted with the absurd
spectacle of a party which, not quite
four years ago, with all the fusion
aid above stated, polled not quite
one-twelfth of the popular vote and
not quite one-twentieth of the elec-
toral vote, posing as "the masses,"
and the representative of the masses
If we concede their intense solicitude
for the welfare of the masses is great
enough to induce them to "work in
the interest of the masses," we must
while admiring their courage,
condemn their judgement for wast-
ing time upon the fool masses who
evidently refuse political salvation in
the ratio of 12 to 1 —Pantagraph.

Hfisrt Trouble Quickly Cured. \ v^x«■ -ji
A Convincing Testimonial.
Robt. Gill,
Miss Ki.la Kt.'UTS.
"For 19 years t suffered from hoart trou-
ble. During that time I was treated by
flvo different physicians. All of them
claimed that I couui m>t ht rural. I was
greatly troubled with shortness of liroath,
palpitation and pain In tho side. If lbo-
enmo excited, or exerted myself In the least,
the pain Ir. my aide became very severe. At
tiroes It seemed as though 11u<lUa u cie l tout-

of November last, I commenced taking
DR. MILES' HEART CURE
and sltica then I havo improved steadily.
I can now sleep on my leftclde, something I
had never been ablo to do before. I can
walk without being fatigued, and am in

to try Dr. Miles' Invaluable remedy without

Hon. .1. H. Wells speaking to a
News reporter of the action of the
state executive committee, said lie
"thought the committee exceeded
their authority and that the people
will not feel liound by their action."
Continuing, lit- said: "The execu-
tive committee selected by the peo-
ple at their last, state convention,
was, 1 am reliably informed, in full
accord with the state platform there
adopted, but it is not so now, and
the change has been wrought by our
state chairman's appointments. The
present committee is not the one
Klcbtcd i ty me ociuociai.s in tue
state. The people selected a sound
money committee. We now have a
free silver committee. It was Mr.
Dudley's duty, a duty too plain to
admit of argument, to appoint to till
vacancies on the committee, men of
the same political views as those
originally selected by the people in
convention assembled."
After all has been said and done,
w e presume that every farmer will be
his own judge as to how much cotton
he will plant this year, i.nd what he
will do concerning the diversification
of his crops; and really he ought to
be best judge as to w hat is the Miest
for himself at least. Only one thing
we claim to be certain of, and that is
that it is a good thing for every far-
mer to plant and cultivate so as to
insure without the possibility of fail-
ure a good, full, all-around living at
home for his family and for all his
live stock.—Tyler Democrat and Re-
porter.
The Hreuham Kir* Department are
already taking st< ps toward thiir
coming Mai-Kest. The Bastrop Fire
Department should follow suit. We
would suggest that a committee be
al once appointed to circulate a sub-
scription list among the citizcus, by
which, we believe, several hundred
dollars could he raised, and the next
Mai-Kest made the grandest success
of any yet held- Let the move lit
made without delay.
An exchange truthfully remarks:
"A man who is so confounded stingy
that he won't lake his home paper
but borrows his neighbor's each
week, would sit in the hack seat of a
passenger c iacli in order to save the
interest on his money while the con-
ductor collected the fare."
A St. 1'aul typewriter has been
sued for 812,7damages for aliena-
ting a husband's affections. The
The late William Wert in a letter
to his daughter says :
"1 want to tell you a secret. The
way to make yourself pleasing to
others, is to show that you care for
them* The whole world is like mil-
ler at Mansfield, who cared for no-
body—no. not he—because nobodv
cared for him. Aod the whole world
will serve you so, if you give them
the same cause. Let everyone, there-
fore see that you do cure for them,
by showing them what Stern so hap-
pily calls, the small sweet courtesies
of life—those courtesies in which
there is no parade—whose voice is
too still to tease and which manifest
themselves by tender and affection-
ate looks and little kind acts of at-
tention, giving others the preference
111 ... * ...no « J "J " • «U. ., 1,1. ,
ill the field, walking, sitting or stand-
ing. This is the spirit that gives to
your time of life, ami to yonr sex
the sweetest charm. It constitutes
the sum total of all witchcraft of wo-
men. Let the world see that your
lirst care is for yourself, and you will
preatl the solitude of the Upas-tree |
around you, in the same way, by the i
manation of a poison which kills all
the juices of affection in its neighbor-
hood. Such a girl may be admired
for her understanding and accomp-
lishments, but she w ill never be be-1
loved.
The seeds of love can never grow -
but under the warm and genial influ-
ence of kind feelings and affectionate j
manners. Vivacity goes a great wuys^
in young persons It calls attention '
to her that displays it ; and if there i
In.' associated with it a generous sen-
sibility. its execution is irresistable. |
< >n the contrary if it be found in al-.
liancc with a bold, haughty, selfish '
heart, it produces no further effect,
except an adverse one. Attend to'
this my daughter. It flows from aj
heart that feels for you all the anxiety j
a parent can feel, and now without a
hope which constitutes a parent's
highest happiness.
