Can't somebody write aletter.

•ore, Texas is Democratic. "Pot that in
your pipe and smoke it."
<Th* Northeastern States have just been
visited by a fearful snow storm, and it is
distressing to see the deaths and suffering
mo often occasioned by these unexpected
blizzants in the north. In onr Sunny
South land we have nothing of the kind
to dread.
Empebor William ot Germany is dead
and much anxiety now exists among the
great powers of Europe to know what
•will be the coarse of Prince Frederick,
whether war or peace is written on his
brow.
Wb see that Senator Houston's letter
in the Gazette, has cseated much comment
over the State. Not one word from the
defendants in the indictment, but we
should like to read the plea of not guilty,
and tee what kind of a statement of facts
could be arrayed by them. The people
of Texas demand an explanation gentle-
men, what is it?
j rom what we can Ujarnthe bar of Tex-
as are proud of our Supreme court, and
well they might be, as it is equal to any
court in the United States. Judge Gaines
and Judge Stayton have a firm hold upon
the confidence ot the best lawyers of Tex-
as. Judge Stayton having been recently
appointed Chief Justiee by the Governor
to fill the placeof Judge Willie, resigned,
and Judge Walker was appoined to fill
the place of J udge Stayton. Judge W al-
ker has made a fine record on the com-
mission of Appeals and every body is
pleased with his appointment.
So we feel that we can boast of onr Su-
premo Court and put it against any court
in the land ot America. There is another
court, namely, the court of Appenls, that
we do not feel so much disposed to boast
about, but in the coming election, as the
lawjers sometime say, would like to see
a "clean deal"—that is swept clean,
We hear much talk about factions,
about cliques, rings, etc. In fact if one
would take it upon himself to stand
around and listen at the divers and sun-
dry gossipers, he would think, surely we
are "fearfully and wonderfully made,"
and should be credit every rumor that is
based upon some stretched imagination
be would again think, we are "fearfully
and wonderfully mixed." Why is all
this, what has brought it about ? Arc
we all enemies, do we cncouragc strife
and political schisms ? Or rather, are
we not all loyal members of one house-
hold. Who rules and governs this sun-
ny Southland of ours, not enemies, but
men elected by the democracy of the
South.
Once there was a time when we - were
ruled and directed at the bayonet's point
but that ceased when the democracy
came like an enraged lion from his tail
and caused the invading wolf to retreat
into his more congenial haunts—the
black republican camps.
Hie most of us remember the experi-
ence of other days. We should now
like to see oil poured on the troubled
waters and let peace reign. We need
no wrangles, no schisms, we are all dem-
ocrat*. We are all entitled to vote, and
• that every loyal, and patriotic citizen
expects to do so. The election approach-
es and we have good men who are wor-
thy of trust. Numbers of good men for
every office and they are all democrats,
if not, they need not hope to be elected
by democrats; for as there are no polit-
ical differences between them, each man
will stand or fall on his own merits.
We are satisfied there is not a candi-
date out that would have an office should
he be foreed to gain it on some other
man's popularity or by resurrecting is-
sues that are dead. We know that
sometimes men will do almost anything
to win. But we cannot believe that we
have any of that class in Red River
county, who would try to make capital
out of this or that, by saying, some fel-
lows are opposing me because I was for
this issue or because I \yas opposed to
that candidate.
We hope every man will stand on his
own bottom and hope to see our candi^
dates, who are all good men, go to J he
good people of Red River county and
and say: "Here I am a tried and true
dhmocrat and will try to serve you well
if elected."
Plots and schemes are never success-
ful, for they will out and then when
th®y recoil on the beads of the instiga-
tors, one wail there comes in the sad
peals of the funeral knell.
Give us peace, for a house divided
against itself cannot stand. Let us pre-
sent a solid phalanx and get good men
as our selection and after the primary

The Floater.
Thero has been ceasfderable gossip
about the next Floater from Red River
Titus ad Franklin counties. Red River
county is entitled to one representative,
but Titus and Franklin counties both
put together have.not the required num-
oer of inhabitants to entitle them to a
representative, but Red River,Titus and
Franklin, taken together, are entitled to
one representative. Thus we find that
the three counties are entitled to 2 rep-
resentatives. Red River county has al-
ways elected one to herself, then assisted
Titus and Franklin in electing their
choice. It has, we believe, been agreed
between Titus and Franklin that they
would alternate, for one session Titus
would be entitled to put forward a can-
didate, and then, the next, Franklin
would put forward a man. and so on.
Therefore, giving the three counties two
representatives, Rev River always cer-
tain of one, but J? rankhn and Titus be-
ing forced to alternate between them-
selves and with Red River's equitable
spirit, always settling the matter in an
amicable manner. Two years ago Red
River sent as her representative Capt.
Jim Clark and Titus and Franklin with
Red River's assistance sent Mr. Stringer
of Franklin, We had supposed.tbat this
year Titus would claim her rights and
put forward a good man, but be that as
it may, Titus and Franklin should settle
between themselves as Red River sugges-
ted on a previous occasion, and leave us
free from their scramble.
We have learned that some politicians
of Red River county this year arethrow-
ing wide open the shark mouth of ava-
rice and greed and thirsting to deprive
the two smaller counties of Titus and
Franklin from sending one of their good
citizens by our assistance, to represent
them, now have the cheek to say that
Red River should send both the regular
representative and also the floater; and
give those two counties, because they
happen to be not so large as this one,not
a crumb.
Gentlemen, you may think you can
play such n game, that you can dupe our
people and bring shame to the honest
cheeks of our fair and upright citizens,
but you are weaving a web, which at
your very incipient tread, will hurl you
headlong into the ditch dug to bury, for-
ever, your inordinate ambition. Could
any man have the temerity to present
such a claim to the people of this
county?
When our people thoroughly under-
stand this scheme, they will revolt at the
thought of such greed. We would ask
such men to remember that we are also
attached to some other counties, Fannin
and Lamar, on the west of us, foiming
the 31st Senatorial district and the 6th
Judicial district,do you gentlemen know
the comparative strength of those two
counties, to Red.Rivev 2 When we meet
those two counties which have much the
advantage of us in convention, what
would you think were they to thrust
such cheek at you ?. Perhaps you would
say, circumstances alter eases, and its
owing to whose ox is gored.
Some can say that "might is right.''
You may attempt to hoo-doo our county
but such schemes as that will never work
Wouldn't it be good policy to change
your tactics and also your base of opera-
tion ?-
What a pity that we have not got
more offices to be filled, and then per-
haps some men's greed might be par-
tially satisfied, without robbing the
weak of their just and equitable rights.
It does not make any difference what
Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith of the Times
may charge to the Standard, one thing
is certain, the Standard only wants to
see justice and fair play and its business
is to squeal when injustice raises its mot-
ley head, and it will contiuue to squeal.
No, Red River is not going wrong.

I his question and that question, this
issue and that issue. Who will be so
kind as to tell what is which, or which is
that?
Houston, lex., March V.—ivews cas
reached the city of the killing of John
Scow by a negro in the town of Columbia.
It occured yesterday. It seems that the
two had a misunderstanding of ssme kind
before they reached the tewn. After they
got in, Snow who had a lariat about the
horn of his saddle, said to the negro that
he would have one end of that rope around
his neck and the other tied to a limb before
night. The negro after a short time drew
a pistol and began firing at Snow, who was
within a few feet of him. The first or
second shot took effect and Snow turned
around and fell to the ground and died
almost instantly. The negro was arrested
and placed in jail. Snow was regarded as
a brave and somewhat desperate man whose
fighting qualifications were generally
known. An examination immdiately after
the shooting proved Snow was armed. No
movement toward fighting was made by
him during the difficulty.
Renews Her Youth.
Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co.,
Iowa, tells the following remarkable story, the
truth of which is vouched for by the residents
of the town: "I am "3 years old, have been
troubled with kidney complaint andlameness
for many years; could not dress myself without
help. Now I am tree from all pain and sore-
ness, and am able to do all my own housework.
I owe niy thanks to Electric Bitters for having
renewed my youth, and removed completely all
disease and pain."' Try a bottle, only 50c, at

JS Annona, March 11.—But very little if
anything in the line of interesting items
is to be found in this vicinity. Dulness
in common affairs stands flat footed and
stares us stoically iu tbe face. Yet hope
is generous in stimulating courage.
The whisky fiend has ceased to demon-
strate down here save in rare instances.
Why? The question leads to some spe-
cial reflections. The answer involves
the agency of certain efficient laws. The
effect justifies the thought that,
While prohibition rolls its tidal wave
Our land from drunkenness to save,
we appropriately may consider the pros-
pect for a better reform measure.
Prohibition is too gouging to grow
readily in popular favor. It is fraught
with objections that will continue to be
obstinate.
But why not hedge and control the
liquor trade by tight and protective pe-
nal laws? Why not, instead of seeking
constitutional amendments to authorize
legislation to prohibit the trade, use the
power of taxation with frightful penal
statutes to accomplish tbe pupose?
The saloon is the medium and cause ot
most of the evils that flow from the in-
toxicant. The saloon and not the liquor,
is the proper subject for legislation. Not
the article but the abuse of the article is
the direct wrong. The saloon is a school
in and from which that abuse and con-
sequences arise.
Texas tries high taxation and stringent
requirements in a measure—too mild,
yet with fair effectiveness—to throttle
those evils. The combined measures are
aptly adapted. The tax ought to be
doubled or trebled or quadrupled unto
certain effect.
The Texas tax for sale of liquor by
the quart is far too low, and oughi to run
high enough to render this style of trade
unprofitable for general use and as an
exclusive business. I behold an effect of
the Texas statutes for tbe regulation ot
the liquor trade. This is where the
quart trade goes on and where saloons
formerly exercised high-handed sway,
but being routed by those stringent and
menacing laws have left the community
peaceable, orderly, calm, in prevailing
soberness. Ge Gi Woo.

EMPEBOB WILLIAM DEAD.
Close of an Illustrious Career—Cat off in the
28th Ynr of His Reign.
Berlin, March 9.—At 7 o'olock this
morning the following bulletin was is-
sued:
After a slight flickering up of his vital
powers yesterday evening,the Emperor's
weakness increased during the night and
has now attained a high degree.
(Signed) Von Lauer-Seuthold
Later—The Emperor William Jied at
8:30 this morning.
Friedrich Ludwig Wilhelm, king of
Prussia, and since 1871, emperor of
Germany, was born March 12, 1797, and
had he lived fourteen days longer he
would have reached the age of 92 years.
He was nursed-in the cradle of war,and
in 1813*14 he joined in the campaign of
the allies against h ranee. On the ac-
cession of bis elder brother, Frederick
William IV, to tbe tbroue of Prussia in
1840, he became governor of Poinera-
nia, and arterwards sat in the Prussian
diet, and supported the Absolutist par-
ty, in consequence of which be was so
much disliked by the people, that at the
outbreak of revolution in 1848, he had
to flee to England, though he returned
some months later and was elected to
the National Assembly. In October,
1857, the King became incapacitated for
business,^and William was commission-
ed to act as regent. At this time he was !
very popular in .Prussia. On the 2nd
day of January. 1861, he ascended the
throne and on the occurrence of his cor-
onation at Konigsburg o.n the 18th of
October following, be himself put the
crown on his head, declaring that he
"ruled by the favor of God and of no one
else." On September 22, • 1862, Herr
Von Bismartk-Schonhusen was made
prime minister, which position he yet
holds. The chamber was dissolved on
the 14th of October, the king declaring :
by message that as tbe three estates
could not agree, he should continue to
do his duty to his people regardless "of
those pieces of paper called constitutions ^
in which be had no faith. For a time
tbe country was in a state of turmoil on
account of party struggles. This, how-
ever, was settled by the strategy of Bis-
marck in 1863. who brought about the
Schleswig-Holstein war. In 1866 Prus-
sia engaged in war with Austria, which
eountry was subjugated in six weeks.
Prussia then became tbe bead of tbe
North German confederation. In 1870-
71, tbe memorable war with France was
waged which resulted disastrously to
France. On Jan,. 17,1871, William was
Sreclaimed Emperor of Germany at the
alace of the French kings at Versailles.
Emperor William was married June 11,
1829, to Marie Louisa of Saxe-Weimar,
by whom he had two children, Fredor-
ick William 'the Crown Prince, and
Louisa grand duchess of Baden.
the last hours.
Berlin, March 9.—The Reichsanzigcr
gives tbe followingdetails of the last
hours of Emperor William: On Wednes-
day when bis strength began to fail the
Emperor spoke repeatedly about the
condition of tbe Crown Prince and
about politics and military affairs. On
Thursday he talked with his daughter,
tbe grand duchess of Baden, about the
death of her son, Prince Louis. At
noon he asked for Prince Bismarck who
came and conversed with him on the po-
litical situation. The Emperor spoke
clearly and thanked the Chancellor for
his services to the country. Increased
feebleness sooti'fbltowed, attended with
delirium. His voice became feebler and
feebler, finally sinking to a whisper. At
5 o'clock be was so weak that members
of the family, Prince Bismarck and
CountVon Moltke and the servants of
the household gathered around the bed.
The Emperor, supported by the doctors,
held the hand of bis wife on one side
and his daughter's hand on the other.
Prince William stood at the bead ot the
couch. Chaplain Keegel spoke a few
words of consolation to which the Empe-
ror whispered an occasional response.
At 5:30 the patient manifested extreme
weakness and death seemed imminent.
Suddenly the Emperor rallied and asked
for Count Von Moltke and Prince Wil-
liam, with both of whom he talked
about the condition of the army and the
Prussian people, entering into minute
particulars when speaking of both
which greatly astonished both his
listeners. He then referred to Germa-
ny's alliance with the various countries
and the possibilities of war, but during
the latter portion of his remarks fanta-
sies of delirium were mingled with co-
herent utterances. This temporary re-
covery of strength lasted until 10 o'clock
and at intervals he conversed in a touch-
ing, earnest manner with those about
him. Between 10 and 2 he appeared to
sleep, and at about 2 o'clock it was ob-
served that a serious change was begin-
ning to take place in tbe Emperor's face
although there was again a slight im-
provement in his condition. Bnt at 7
oclock it was seen that the Emperor's
last moments were neai. The members
of the family were again summoned to
his bedside and at 8:30 the doctors de-
clared he was dead.
The evening papers contain what are
reported to be the last words spoken by
tbe Emperor. They are: "Alexander
has promised me that he will not make
war against us."
It is reported that the Emperor also
said: "lam convinced that we ought
not to go to war with Russia, toward
whom the most friendly atttitude ought
to be adopted."
Gov. Ross and the Ea^le Pass Trouble-
Austin, March 9.—Governor Ross to-
day answered as follows a letter from P.
Oiuela«, Mexican Consul at San Antonio
concerning the Eagle Pass affair:
Hon. P. O ml.;- , Consul of the Repub-
, lie of Mexico, San Antonio, Texas.
Mr Deai: Sm—It is most pleasant for
me to be able to thoroughly reciprocate
your desire for the most friendly rela-
tions with your nation, and my deep re-
gret that it should be in the power of
ill advised and rash persons to conflict
and render null the efforts we have made
for the preservation of law and order on
our fiontier. The information 1 pos-
sessed was about of the same tenor and
effect asthat published in the newspa-
pers, being the official report of the
County Attoi ney of Maverick county, I
transmitted this report to Hon. T. F.
Bayard, Secretary of State Washington.
There is no doubt but what the matter
will be properly adjusted between the
two governments and the proper steps
taken to prevent the recurrence of such
a breach of international comity by the
citizens of either country to punish the
pepetrators in the present instance and
compensate those damaged by their ac-
tion. These matters, however, are in
the hands of representatives of the two
republics, and justice will be fully sat-
isfied. I am respectfully,
L. S. Ross, Governor of Texas.
Sherman, Tex,, March 9.—Last night
at a late hour City Marshal Blain was
summoned to the western suburbs ot the
city, where it was reported that several
little girls who were out gathering flowers
had found the dead body oi an infant ly-
ing nude in a brook. After considerable
search, assisted by some citizens, the Mar-
shal succeeded in finding the body, which
was that ot an infant girl, which had ap-
parently been secretly covered in the sand
for three ot four days, and being in such
a condition as to re-der it difficult to de-
cide whether it belonged to the white or
colored race. The body was brought to
the city and a post mortem examination
held over it by physicians who decided
that the infant had evidently breathed af-
ter birth, and the supposition is that
it was murdered and placed in the
brook by a degraded, heartless mother.
No cine has been obtained to the foul
deed, and the taking of evidence on the
inquest has been continued until to-mor-
row.

When Grover Cleveland was elected
President many people who had been

of the campaign regarded him as a man
of very •moderate ability. And yet
