THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1887.
We have an invitation from the Ava-
lanche Co- of Memphis, Tonn., to call
and see the first new perfecting press
brought into the State. Tennessee must
bs far behind Texas; Galveston and Dal-
las have had perfecting presses for a long
time.
On the 10th inst,Pulitzer and others pre-
sented to Mr. Gladstone at Dollis hill, the
New York memorial to Gladstone, which is
a bust of Gladstone on an ornamental base
the entire work being in silver. An appro-
priate presentation address at some length
was made by Mr. Pulitzer and Mr. Glad-
stone replied, acknowledging his gratifica-
tion for American sympathy and an enun-
ciation of his determination to peisist in
bis policy toward Ireland.
Tire Port Worth Gazette which is not
surpassed by any journal in the State as a
news gatherer, and as a democratic journal
is much more reliable than most of the oth-
er prominent dailies, offers its weekly now
at $1 a year, having reduced the price
from $1,50 heretofore. The Gazette is a
good paper, and now that it has ceased the
iteration of its free grass nonsense, wc feel
free to recommcnd it to readers who wish
to take a Texas paper away from home.
The colored people are beginning to ex.
amine seriously the merits of prohibition.
They have been persuaded heretofore by
the paid agents of the whiskey men, that
they ought not to listen to any argument
agasnst whisky. We insert in this issue
the letter of the Rev. Elishsi Barnes, color-
ed, a late convert. The roan, white or
black, who refuses to listen to an argument
against bis prepossessions, can hardly be
termed a rational being ; and when he
knows that the man who advises him not
to listen is the mere paid tool of the whisky
seller; he becomes still more contemptible
and still more akin to the brute.
The President who had consented to
visit St. Louis at the same time that the
G. A. R. was to be received, very proper-
ly withdrew his consent when he teamed
that his presence would lie unacceptable
to any portion of this association. He
very properly took the position that what
ever chances of disrespect he might per-
sonally be willing to brave, it was his du-
ty to protect the Presidency of the United
States from insult in his person. While cer-
tain G. A. R. officials have exposed them-
selves to criticism by their weak reproaches
of the President because he does not con-
cede to all unworthy claimants a pension,
and because he was willing to return the
captured flags at the suggestion of others,
they have created only a second-rate fuss
in the attempt to acquire fame as denoun-
cers of the President of the people, and
have effectually placed themselves beneath
respectful notice hereafter by intelligent
peopie. It is a renewal of the old fable
of the ass in the lion's skin.
Athintn Testimony.
The Six Amendments.
It is the duty of the voters of Texas—
a duty to themselves, to carefully consid-
er all of the six proposed amendments to
the constitution which the late legislature
tendered for their approval or rejection.
The first is the already famous amend-
ment on prohibition. This all good citi-
zens with clear heads, and entertaining a
sympathy for the unfortunate victim of
inebrity and his more unfortunate family,
if he has one; or his father, mother and
sisters who are agonized by his miscon-
duct—all really good men with tender
hearts, not biased by the unfortunate hab
it themselves, will all vote for.
The second is the proposed amendment
to increase the pay of members of the leg
islature, attcr the sixty days of the regu-
lar session have expired. This, we be-
lieve it is not politic to approve—because
in all ordinary instances sixty days are
enough for all needful legislation, and in
case more time is needed to perfect legis-
lation really important, it would be bet-
ter to let them adjourn at the end of sixty
days, and thus let die all the useless mat
tor always introduced to give prominence
to the introducer; and then let the Gov-
ernor convene them by proclamation be-
fore they can disperse, and confine them
to the one, two or three matters undeter-
mined which it is important to the public
interest to have acted upon. This the
constitution as it now is, provides for, and
the members re-summoned get their full
per diem of $5. What the writer advo-
cated in convention and succeeded in get-
.Not the SligliteRt Danger.
The Fort Wc-th Gazette which has grown
more solid, and displayed more intellectual
calibre of late than heretofore, iu its issue
of the 11th, has an article on the dangers
threatening the Democratic organization of
the State, growing out of the division in
its ranks upon the question of prohibition,
and it copies two paragraphs from the Dal-
las Times as a text. The Gazette need
give itself no uneasiness. Three-fourths
of the democratic party of Texas are on
the side of prohibition: the other fourth
cannot well turn three times their number
out of the party, or in any way seriously
disintegrate it. The writer of this has
been so long in sympathy with the Demo-
cratic party of Texas, so long in its front
rank against all assailants, that he feels
that he can as nearly as any body living^
foretell its probable action in any contin-
gency. The whisbyites, if they succeed iu
this contest, must do so by the aid of the
most ignorant of-the Republican party, the
border Mexicans and the riff raff always to
be found about all cities of fifteen thous-
and or more people. If they were to suc-
ceed in this contest, they would by no
means increase their influence in the Dem-
ocratic party, or in any degree affect the
expression of the State convention. The
Democratic party of Texas will remain in
tact, the same overwhelming force that it
has been for many years. The Galveston-
Dallas News, the Austin Statesman, the
Waco Examiner, or the Dallas Times could
not produce the slightest eddy or the least
ripple on its everflowing, unchangeable
current; if they were to attempt it,the folly
would be as apparent as the attempt to
Party Dlahonesly.
ting reported by the committee on the check the flow of the Mississippi by driv-
lcgislative department, was to terminate
the session positively at sixty days, and
leave to the judgment of the Goyornor
absolutely the continuance of the session
by reconvention. He never thought $2
per day desirable for the State or just to
j those who had done their full duty dili-
gently. The fact is that wc have too much
legislation of too poor a quality, and too
many legislators. If the legislature met
only once in three years, and the Govern-
or's term were prolonged to three years,
it would be far better to the State, and
The reader who wishes to form an
opinion upon prohibition upon the basis of
cxiieriences,should read the three columns
of testimony upon our first page, extract-
ed Iroiu the Atlanta Constitution. This
is the testimony of prominent business
men,gathered by the Constitution, which
was a strong opponent of prohibition when
the issue was made in Atlanta. After a
year of experience and having the disin-
terested certification of business men, it
yields its preconceived notions against
prohibition. When the election was on
hand, it urged all the fallacious objections
now urged by tne nntis in Texas. When
a year's experience has demonstrated that
these objections were imaginary—has dc
monstrated that the law does prohibit,that
the business of the city has not fallen off
but increased—that the revenue of the city
has not decreased as prophesied; that
there are no vacant houses as a result of
closing out the saloons; that local business
is I>etter; that families of workmen are
tatter provided; that there is less work
for the criminal tribunals, and that sobri-
ety, general peace and go<xl order prevail,
where before was inebriety, turbulence
ami destitution among families; when it
sees all this, and bankers, merchants and
manufacturers all certify that prohibition
has actually brought great benefit to all;
then like an honest servant of the public
as he should be, the editor acknowledges
bis error of opinion, and publishes the
facts as they arc. Facts are always more
imposing than suppositions, and in the
facc of facts the honest citizen who wish-
es the welfare of his fellow men and wo-
men cannot persist in opposing an evident
public good.
Recollect that this testimony does not
come from Maine, Ohio, Iowa or Kansas;
but from Georgia, a Southern State, and
one of the most liberal and progressive of
Southern States.

if the number of legislators were decreas-
ed one third it would be still better.
These were our views when the constitu-
tion was framed and they have not been
changed by long consideration of the sub-
ject. As we said in convention we say
now, that there is no more uncertain body
—uncertain in its.action—than an average
State legislature, and it any man can have
confidence what it will do in any ordinary
contingency ho must be of an eminently
confiding nature.
The next proposed amendment which
is numbered -i, but is the 3d in the series
which passed the legislature, is in relation
to the investment of the accumulation of
the university fund, the investment of
which has been heretofore too much re.
stricted for the profit of the fund. This
should pass; there is no possible ground
for opposition.
The fifth is in relation to assessment of
taxes in unorganized counties, freeing
them from charges for public improve-
ments in the counties to which they arc
attached. This is manifestly just and
should pass.
The sixth is in relation to registration
of votes in all cities with 10,000 inhabi-
tants or more. This is a good provision
for the preservation of the purity of the
ballot, and should pass.
The seventh provides for the increase
of the judges of the supreme court and
some increase of their pay, provides for a
court of appeals of three members, as the
court of last reso.t in criminal matters;
amends the district court constitutional
provision, making its powers and duties
more definite. Gives power to the legis-
lature to provide inferior tribunals, and
u'escribo their powers, and to provide
for district and county attorneys, pre
scribes the duties of clerks, sheriffs ct al,
in accordance with the judgment of the
bar association of the State, which has
been two years elaborating the amend-
ment which we believe is a good one.
As many of the best lawyers of the
State as were in the convention of 1875,
they could not agree on a judicial act,
iind the provisions finally adopted, were
a hotch-potch agreed upon one at a time
«nd at last imperfect. We have given no
great amount of consideration to the
amendment, but from a cursory reading
wc believe it will be well to adopt i*.
In conclusion we recommend to so
many of our readers as have confidence in
our judgment to vote FOR all the pro-
proposed amendments except the 2d, and
to vote against the 2d.
Another Good Man Gone.
ing piles across its bed. The Gazette need
give itself no concern about such idle dec-
lamation as this which it copies from the
Dallas Times. The Times is imaginative,
and excitable, but it doss not control any
large body of the Democratic party.
''The Times will be sorry when the hour
comes for parting with the prohibitionists
politically, because there are many in the
prohibition ranks whom it has supported,
and for whom it has both respect and
friendship personally. But that hour must
come. They will he; y.fter belong to a
party different to the Democratic party.
In all conscience they are forced to vote
for the prohibition candidates for Presi-
dent and Vicc-Prcsident.
*****
It is going to be pretty hard times when
some of the prohibitionists are told that
they cannot participate in Democratic con-
ventions, but e Dernoer (ts u 'st 3rm'y
do their duty. And they will do it. The
gentlemen who are trying t'o go into office
by the new route will find the road short.
They will get to the end of it, and find
their reward as the gold at the end of the
bar room.
Intolerance.
If the Whisky Influence had the power,
the prohibitionists would uot be allowed to
talk their sentiments openly upon the
streets. They evinccd their intolerance at
at their first convention at Dallas—tbey
evince it still by refusing to divida time
for public speaking. At some precincts
in this county where negroes predominate,
trustees have already said to school teach-
ers of prohibition tendency,that tbey would
not employ them hereafter. In such cases
it would bo worthy of consideration wheth-
er such trustees should be re-appointed and
have the power to give play to their tyran
nical tendencies, to the injury of the school
communities. Ignorance and vice combin-
ed make a compound of the most cxecrable
character, insulting, domineering and bru-
tal in the utmost degree. If the saloon
had unchecked power we should all feel its
brutishness. To illustrate what wc say,
we copy from the Denison Gazetteer of the
10th, a strong anti prohibition paper, the
following:
"The disgraceful scenes enacted at the
Bank Exchange on Thursday evening, will
do more to injure the cause of anti-prohibi-
tion than half a dozen sound, logical argu-
ments can overcome. The language used
was villainous and for half an hour the side
walk was blockaded by a motley crowd, so
dense that pedestrians could not pass, and
so far as we could see no effort was made
by the marshal or police to disperse the
crowd. It is singular that certain saloon
men cannot realize that to tolerate such ac-
tions is making votes for prohibition that no
efforts on the part of iis opponents can
counteract. It is these drunken brawls
that constitute the strength of the prohibi
tlon cause, and makes its opposition odious
to so manj- law-abiding people."
This illustrates the silly foolery of the
argument that whisky'will not injure any-
one who lets it alone; when every sensible
man knows that it dc-s disturb those who
do not use it, by drunken riots, frequently
resulting in indiscriminate shooting.
Whatever difference of opinion exists
between political parties, there i3 no ex-
cuse for dishonesty, and there can be no
palliation offered for perjury. We have
had occasion heretofore to refer to the con.
duct of the Republican majority of the
legislature of New York, every member of
which is sworn to support the constitution
of the State, and yet for successivc terms
has refused to let pass a bill for re-dis-
trieting the State, according to population
as the constitution positively requires.
Such a course would have resulted in a
Democratic majority in both bodies of the
legislature, instead of which, by neglect of
duty which involves the falsification of
their oaths, they have retained two U. S.
Senators, which should have been Demo-
cratic. Plainly this is in line with the fraud
by which the Presidency of the U. S. was
stolen, but how long can a party maintain
itself, who3e conscientiousness is of so low
a grade.
Our attention is called to this by a late
speech made by Sunset Cox to the Tam-
many society on the 4th, which is referred
to by the N. Y. World, which illustrates
the injustice a3 follows:
"There are now two Republicans in the
United States Senate representing or mis-
representing the State of New York. One
of them, Evarts, was elected in 1885, the
other, Hiscock, was chosen this year. Yet
New York State has been Democratic and
elected Democratic administrations for five
years past. The Assembly which made
Mr. Evarts Senator was chosen in 1884.
The State that year voted for Mr. Cleve-
and for President, but owing to unfair ap-
portionment 73 Republican Assemblymen
were elected against 55 Democrats. Yet
the Democrats cast 446,520 votes for As-
semblymen in the whole State, while the
Republicans cast only 409,065 votes. The
Assembly which sent Mr. Hiscock to the
United States Senate to misrepresent New
York was elected when the State was carri-
ed by a Democratic Judge of Appeals by
nearly eight thousand votes over a very
popular Republican."
This wrong is so gross that no decent
man of any party can defend it. It was
originally effected by creating districts no"
tably of Democratic tendency, with very
large voting strength, and arranging other
districts so as to ensure a small Republican
majority in each ; utilizing all the Republi-
can vote possible, and throwing a useless
excess of Democratic votes into Democratic
districts; foi instance some Ascmblymen
from New York and Kings represent con-
stituencies numbering as high as 86,000,
and averaging in Democratic New York
46,107 persons in each district, and in
Democratic Kings 49,962 persons. In Re-
publican St. Lawrence the average con-
stituehcy for the three districts is 28,000,
and in Jefferson for the two districts, 33,-
000, while Putnam sends a Republican As-
semblyman to represent 15,000 people.
Is not this a palpable fraud upon popular
rights, and is it not difficult to understand
how Republicans who claim to be honest
men can sanction such a fraud. If the
people of New York were honestly
represented, the Senate of the United
States would be Democratic to-day.
The declarations of views relative to im-
migration to be found at length on the first
p*ge,are eminently worthy of consideration
It is a very important question, the consid
eration of which should be divested of all
prejudice and all narrowness: but the ne-
cessity for action upon it 13 coming; and
the American people, without reference to
party, should give it thoughtful considera-
tion at frequent intervals, so as to be pre-
pared to give direction to their Represent-
ative* in Congress.
The bolt has fallen on Dr. McGlynn,
a most excellent man and acceptable priest

evinced by his acceptance and advocacy
of Henry George's cranky notions on tax

impracticable theoiy ever preached by
anybody; proposing to select one class of
property for taxation, and leave equally

Mills and Carroll met at Waco, and Car-
roll slayed his so-called arguments—fritter-
ed them into shreds; and Mills became per-
sonally offensive; and sundry anti3 said
his abuse was uncalled for and took off
their blue badges. Wc are assured that it
was a great victory for prohibition. Mc-
Clcnnan county, the home ot Geo. Clark
and the Central Organ, the Examiner, will
give a prohibition majority. Thr organ is
an innocent organ; it does not set anybody
to dancing, and people wonder what could
have induced Geo. Clark, who is esteemed
shrewd man, to buy such a useless,
wheezing old box. Its tune is as monoto-
nous as that of a squeaking wheel-barrow,
which needs grease at the axles,
and yet the organ has been liberally greas-
ed. All the stalwart warriors of the good
cause are making themselves famous at nu-
merous courthouses and pic nics; and their
receptions are enthusiastic. The hired or-
ators of the antis are declaiming to small
audiences as a rule; except where they di-
vide time with the prohibs, and they dis-
like very much to do this, for it's hard to
speak against the public good, and their
ammunition is so scant that they soon re-
cite their school boy orations, aud their
garbled and distorted Jeffersonianisms,
avoiding all that Mr. Jefferson did say in
direct terms in derogation of the liquor
drinking habit. Money will buy profess-
ional orators to defend a wrong; there is
no doubt about that; and looking at the
shining gold of the liquor men, sundry,
heretofore, promising aspirants for high po
litical position are digging their graves
very deep and unnecessarily wide. It is
useless labor, nobody will disturb their re
mains for any use. Even their bones will
be so noded that the skeleton artists will
not care to wire them together. They will
sleep the last sleep (political) untroubled
—no guards will be required about their
graves.
"The attempt of some men to set
themselves up as higher authority than
the Democratic convention is more dan-
gerous to Democratic unity and to such
men themselves than to those who are
threatened with expulsion."—[Houston
Post.
True! Such attempts are the merest
assumption of power, where there is no
power. Who are they ? On which side
ef the present controversy ? The danger
however is not to Democratic unity to
any considerable extent: the danger is
to the bigots who assume that the Dem-
ocratic party will be governed by their
views, or in any degree influenced by
them. The Democratic party of Texas
knows its reliable advisers, and it
knows the whipper-snappers, whose
mouthings aie like the idle winds.
Railroad power as it strikes the public
view is some thing very large, hazy and in-
definite, that is rather felt than understood.
Every man, woman and child shares in the
advantages they offer and contributes to
their revenues.
When it is obvious that the continuance
of our prosperity depends on their further
adaptation to the needs of industry, it is
plain that,as a consequence, it will increase
the growth of railroad property and influ-
ence to an extent that can not be forecast,
and the question arises "Whether the State
shall manage the railroads, or, whether the
railroads shall manage the State."
It is very doubtful that an efficient con-
trol over the companies can be exercised
by the railroad commission, without the
adoption of arbitrary methods and the in-
fliction of much injustice; owing to the
multiplicity of railroad management it will
involve (to be just) interference with the
details, the fixing of expenses, and the
economies to be made: it will«necessitate a
dual control of a legal and railroad expert
to interpret the inter-state commerce law,
that at best can only decide on averages,
maximum charges for transportation,which
will often be vexatious to the public and to
the compaties,and these,in a contested case,
will naturally avail themselves of the ad-
vantage that their thorough knowledge of
the situation and the intluence of wealth
give tnem. It will unsettle commerce, and
renders us almost powerless against the
Companies, if litigation is resorted to.
The creation of these privileged corpora-
tions which can crush competition, and in-
definitely increase in power, will render it
expedient on political and economical
grounds that the United States should pur-
chase the railroads, even if beside the cost
of purchase there are other objections that
ought to be examined. Among them are,
undue influence of a greater concentration
of power vested in the Government, abuse
of patronage, favoritism, and the discredit
of the administration through mismanage-
ment and mischance.
In behalf of a Railroad State Department,
the management of the Po3toffice Depart-
ment in the United Statos, and of the Tele-
graph in Europe, proves that immobility is
not a necessary characteristic of a public
department. Concerning railroad manage-
ment, there is no difficulty which cannot be
overcome by the knowledge and the capac-
ity which would be placed at the sc. vice of
the State and be directed to promote indus-
try, commerce and trade by reducing the
charges for transportation, differing iu that
from the rule of railroad directors, to get
all they can, in order to pay dividends up-
on fictitious capital, exacting an unjust
taxation on the trade of the country,which
limits the ability of the American producer
and mcrcbant to compete with those of for-
eign nations, and checks the development
of our vast national resources. Properly
speaking,the magnitude of the undertaking
ought not to operate as an obstruction to
State purchase, but ought to stimulate ac-
tion, as every year adds to the proportion
of the obstacles, and it can be shown that
it offers real advantage. A reduction in
the charges for transportation would give
an impulse to agriculture and industry gen-
erally,and benefit the laborer as well as the
capitalist.
Practically our laws are creating irre-
sponsible railroad companies and intrust in
their hands public duties. Would it not
be better and is it not logical that this trust
should be assumed by our government as a
part of its duties. Henry Getaz.

Editor Standard—As I love and honor
the institution of Free Masonry, I cannot
forbear to inform you that once again the
Masonic Fraternity met at old Pine Creek
lodge and publicly installed their officers.
R. Marchbanks, W. M.; John Aaron, Sen.
Warden; Rev. J. M, Hughes, Jun. War-
den, and Chaplain; M. W. Caudle, Sec.;
D. T. Heron, Treas., and Wm. Srygley,
Tiler. It has been many yeais since they
have had the pleasure of publicly meeting
together at this old, time-honored place.
They were men of valor and knightly bear-
ing that used to congregate here in the
"long ago,*' to mingle with their brothers
of the "Mystic Tie;" but now they are
nearly all at rest in the Spiritual House,
uot made wilh hands, eternal in the heav-
ens. I saw but very few old friends and
neighbors that used to meet us here, they
have nearly all passed away. While look-
ing at this old sacred house and grounds,
we did not forget them. But, however, we
will throw a veil over the past, and try and
think and write of the present.
The kind ladies had prepared a sumptu-
ous dinner,which an Epicurean might envy,
and some had enough left for supper; so
if everybody did not get enough to cat it
was their own fault, it was all put down in
the old Texas style free for every one.
After dinner was overRev. J. M. Hughs
delivered a short address on Free Masonry.
The Masons then repaired to the lodge and
kindly conferred some degrees on several
ladies.
The beauty, wit and intellect of Wood-
land, Manchester and Tomaha were there
in all their loveliness. It seemed enough
happiness for the young gentlemen to stand
off and look at them, 'though I think some
of them ventured near enough to have a
few words of "social converse." Madame
Rumor whispered that Cupid was also there
with his little bow and arrow, but whether
the sly little elf made good use of his time
or not I do not know. The old folks spent
the most of their time in renewing "Auid
Lang Syne," and talking of prohibition.
But it seemed they could not determine
whether it would prohil it or not So after
seeing pleasure enough for one day. we
all returned home, happier that the day
"I suffered with Dyspepsia and disordered
Liver, and would frequently throw up bile. I
procured a bottle of Simmons Liver Regulator
aud after using half of it was completely cur-
ed. One of my lady customers told me the
Regulator completely cured her of sick head-
ache.—D. Olds, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
