. BITE IV THIN DISTRICT.
It is stated that Hon. Wash Jones
jwill be tbe Greenbackcrs' candidate
for Congress In this district. He is
. tbe only leading thinker of the dis-
trict who accepts we' "are told the
unlimited unrestricted" policy of the
' extreme inflationists. . .He- would it
is said notjonly abolish the national
. banks substituting greenbacks for
their issues but absolutely substitute
- greenbacks for two thousand millions
of United States bonds. A: paper
m balloon of this sort filled with gaseous
promises to psy" would hardly . float in
" tbe common atmosphere of.creJit we
breathe before it would explode. Such
a vehicle thus inflated could not
. aft a man of Mr. Jones's confessed
' genius into the haven he seeks. But he
. " may not entertain these extreme opin-
ions. ' He is wholly sane and wields
. great influence and deservedly in this

for Congress is commonly stated and
believed and that he accepts the most
liberal fluanclal theories of most 'ad -Tauccd
political thinkers is well under-
etotrd. Mr. Jones it is said does not
: ' ask anybody to nominate him. That
he will accept the endorsement of the
Orccnbackers gratefully may be none
- the less true and then the question
arises who can cope with Mr. Jones?
Jle is perhaps the intellectual peer of
. . tbe strongest man in the district. As a
' .atump-speaker be is most effective and
as a man honored respected and ad-
mired for' his many social " virtues.
. "Who then will be the competitor of
'Mr. Jones; It will be time 'enough tor
wise and just citizens 'to pronounce
for or against him when it is confessed
. that he is. better . fitted to represent
this district in Congress and can serve
it and the State more effectively than
any possible rival. . Ia there a man
who could reflect brighter honors upon
- tbe fame of Texas ? . Is there one who
- might '.wield greater Influence ia Con-
' gresa and evince more originality and
v force ! - Texas growing as no agricul-
tural tate baa ever grown in wealth
and papulation will have much to ask
at the. hands of Congress and of the
y . department. - We have Galveston to
ve and Houston burled beneath the
.".rubbish of bankruptcy and local mis-
government; to disentomb. . .There are
ship channels to be. opened and har-
burs perfected and there is no hand
potent ' enough- to accomplish these
taku.re ; that of Federal ' power.
Its 'action1 depends upon tho solid
. personal worth -and ability and loan-
ing. and tact and tireless toil and dis-
cretion of our representatives id Con-

' Grcenbackera .or entertain moderate

rectly concerned s of minor import.

A TOWN DIVERTED Off IT COB-
FOB1TE CLOTH EH. -
The good Galveston 'Xetea comes
down to its work in very earnest ef-
fective style when it says that tbe av-
erage municipal (town or city) govern-
ment is only a d .velopment of cupidity ;
a monster with countless angers
scratchrngthe tarpayer'i'-poeketa' and
gnawing into bis nbaUnce. Tbe suf
ferer deserves bis 'anguish because be
sent bad or incapable demagogues
to the constitutional convention and
to tbe . Legislature. ' . .The people of
Texas are bewildered by costly super
names of government and we are
constantly wanting more courts Fed
era! and Ktate. In any event tbe poll
ticians want them. Since tbe war the
courts of all sort are as two to one in
numbers and the people instead of
paying to the Btate - five or ten cents
on each hundred dollars of property
now pay fifty cents and additional
bur Jens imposed by corporations and
counties are from one to two and a
half 'per cent. "It is time that the
Vr ah a representatire of the people
had begun to inveigh againsr iHese ui
tolerable enactions.' The - town of
Richmond -"necks in vain to strip itself
of worse than useless garments of in
corporation. But tbe mayor and al
dermen wearing the comfortable ha-
biliments of office refuse to be stripped
naked iu early springtime and it only
remains for the people to revolt and
chuck the good receivers of taxes into
the Brazos. .The "proposition is that
the sheriff and county court shall dis-
charge tbe functions of the msyor and
deputy sheriff' serve as policemen.
The same purpose has been discussed
very freely of late even by tbe people
of Austin. The trae remedy consists
in the restiiction of suffrage to tax-
payers and in the institution of local
governments in which taxpayers gov-
ern. -
noNKT Dick Thom pson is properly
so called. He does not understand
the arts of demagogism and we gTeat-
ly fonr will fail for' this reason as a
Cabinet officer. The navy yards at
tbe great cities have been used by local
politicians as depositories for votei in
controlling local aad State and con-
gressional elections. When a contest
begins between a. Democrat and a Re-
publican in the vicinage- of a navy
yard the party in power begins to' fill
it with all sorts of purchasable voters
whose presence is pid for by the
United - States Treasury. We - have
seen mayors of Southern towns doiib
ling the street" force and quadrupling
policemen and bringing into tbe city's
employment negroes and tramps by the
score just before an election. ' Voters
are thus hired by the people's money to
give them rulers they would not have
and thus the blessings of universal suf-
frage in corporate elections are illus.
trated and multiplied. This same pro-
cess has been commonly resorted to in
the navy yards and Dick Thompson
doesn't like it. His . instincts of
native honesty revolt" againBt it
and therefore he would make tho
navy yard's less deligh tful retreats
for unwasnea Dtmocaerr.44jcftl-
""""gugaes in uongress have
compelTdcr-rtj he h V
of labor in tbe navy yards to eg..
diem. Honest Dick says be has bcu
working from ten to eighteen hodrs
each day through all his busjjifel ne
has toiled with bands and bead and
does not believe that an honest man
deems eight hours an honest day's
work. The result is that the uhsea-
worthy Secretary of the Navy. who
never staggers on shore hss thus ex-
cited the ire of tbe dirty politicians and
of loafers and tramps . and of venal
voters in all the navy yards by requir-
ing them for honest pay to do an
honest day's worV- .The press of tbe
country approves the Secretary's con-
duct and the Congress is silent. .
ELa is a cunning old coon who gets
up the Spirit of the Press for the Xett.
He does not wish to offend his readers
and jet would make them see . them
selves as others see them and there-
fore when dangers that beset Galves-
ton are defined by the Statesman tbe
Xett copies and that the old curmudg
eons of Galveston may not complain of
tbe conduct of the Jim it makes sly
thrusts at the Statesman. . Thus the
good people of Galveston who should
expend a share of their wealth to save
the rest by constructing the Santa Fe
road to Auatia or JJUton are given an
effective eurtain hectares The .Ste ia
the real old scold" bui she hides her
wrinkled face behind the folds of the
Statesman's dress. ' -'
Tns chief object of assault in Howe's
tirade against the President is the lat-
ter's effort ' to enforce' civil service re-
form baulked by Conkting and Bliine
and the" rest. ; The mistake of the
President if he had not seen that suc-
cess when Democrats and Republican
barnacles co-operated against' them
was impossible was in abandoning the
policy. Howe denounced the scheme
of reform aa tyrannical. The tyranny
im iu tuc ucuaie ana not in uoTiut;
dent1 acts or purposes. A He sought to
remove the most sbuneful abuse in the
Amcricau government and Howe and
we i are- 'aorry t'V ay even Democrats
rendered the President's success im-
possible. -x .
; 8av Hard the Republican: editor at
Baton Rouge says the negro popula-
tion of the South is .dying 'out ; that
fewer children are born than under the
old regime; that children art trouble-
some and burdensome and not well
cared for and that diseases are preT-
alent which were unknown under the
old system of servitude It may be
that Sam Bard forgets that -the negro
no longer manifests-his 'former ecu re
interest in politics. He does not crowd
about ejection products as of yore and
it is Jla3 teal rather than race.weakee
which Sam Bard contemplates with

Whks sold is deposited at the mints
it is weighed and . 'stamped and re-
ceipts for it are accepted payablejto

Now that silver has the same value in
the eyes of tbe )aw ss gold it should
be accorded tbe same rights and when
a miner or other person deposits silver
at the mint the receipt for it should be
of the same value and therefore sus-
ceptible of the same Uses as that given
for gold. The law still makes an
odious aistlctrr tbt-Kt)l j be rcm
edied and a new currency equal in
volume to the uncoined silver of the
country added to that now used by the
people.
Thr press does not generally approve
the purpose ot creating a new Federal
court district just now in Texas. We
have courts till it makes the people's
heads swim to count them and it
bankrupts thousands to maintain
them. They give patronage and cen-
tralization to federalism and with
other ; public vices and burdens have
been multiplied unaccountab'y B'nce
the war. It would be well t3 wait
till a proper 'judge may be appointed.
Tdr advance on real estate in many
portions of the United States is caused
not so much by tbe enactment of the
silver bill and any resulting abundance
of money but because the enactment
shows that the people are again the
country's masters and that tbe course
of financial events will now be speedi-
ly reversed. Real estate advances and
prospects brighten everywhere and it
ii because of anticipated rather than
accomplished legislation!

. Senator Howe's speech adds noth-
ing to his fame and detracts in nothing
from that of the President. It is per-
vaded by such a degree of animosity
towards the President and certain
members of his Cabinet: that its state-
ments are bereft of all effectiveness. -

The Jams Patron discusses the
conduct of official. It refers to the
fact that a statute of the State provides
that "any county or municipal officer
who shall be guilty of drunkenness"
or other offenses shall for the first
offense npoo trial and conviction be
fore any court of competent jurudic-
lon. be fined in a sum not less than
five dollars." The same law provides
for the expulsion and removal from
office of all odioers who are guilty of
this crime and it is a fearful reflection
and a still more sad reality that this
law is not more rigidly enforced. Let
us hope that in future it wilt be. Let
officers who wish to do then? duty
pursue the course which the law points
out to them and if it does seem hard
to the individual citizen the majority
will sauctiou the act because it is the
law. ' r

lie was of the army of the Republic in
t83.i-fi was detailed at San Jacinto by
Sain Houston to take charge with a
few others of the "Twin Sisters."
and was promoted to a captaincy for
gallantry. He returned to type-setting
in Houston and was foreman of
the old Telmnh till 1830 when he
became a surveyor for Montgomery
county. He bos a commission as sur
veyor from each of tbe Presidents and
Governors of Texas up to the begin-
ning of tbe late war between the States.
He was a faithful Confederate soldier
through the inter-State war and was
again at its close made surveyor by
Governor Hamilton. He served in the
Woll campaign in 1812 and is yet ca-
pable of rendering perfect service in
tbe next war. There are no better
men than Col. Wade and the States
man cheerfully tenders this tribute to
bis personal and intellectual worth.
The Banner discussing the Irish
potato industry in Washington county
says: "A railroad man who is thor-
oughly posted estimates that potatoes
enough have been planted in the im
mediate neighborhood of Brenhom to
yield averaging tbe crop at 109 bushels
to the acre 150000 bushele. This
quantity allowing Z'.iO bushels to a car
load m sufficient to : load 40 cars.
Estimating the cotton shipments from
this station at 25000 bales it would
require 023 cars to ' move it. If
the railroads will foster the potato busi
ness by Riving lowtariffi itls evident
that they will derive nearly as much
revenue from potatoes as from cotton
and that at a season of-the year when
they could not utilize their rolling
stock for any other purpose. The larger
portion of the cotton shipped from
here goes to Clinton and Galveston
comparatively a short distance. The
potatoes have of course to be shipped
northward giving tbu 'railroad' much
more to do. If however they insist
upon a prohibitory tar'if it will result
iu the destruction of an important in
dustry which would lie mutually ben
eficial to both the people of tins coun
ty and the railroad companies."

s The Son Antonio Expre discussing
freights says: ' That tbe tariff exacted
from our business men is oppressive
we. submit a few figures . to verify.
From Galveston to Austin the tariff is
20 cents per ' 100 pounds; from New
Orleans to - Austin 40 cents. From
Galveston to 8aa .Antonio first clots
freight $1.25; second class $1.18;
third class $1.10; fourth' class $1.02.
From New Orleans to San Antonio
first class $155; second class $L42;
third class $100; fourth class $1.18.
From Houston to baa Antonio first
Class $1.05; second class $1; third
class US and fourth class 90 cents.
San - Antonio grocers pay $1.12 1-2
more on every cask of beer received
ether things of coarse correspond-
ing than the merchants of Austin do.
The Pierce road has made special
r&t?s with New Braunfels business

thus : delivers their goods at Nev;
Marino from Galveston for 45 cents.
It will be observed that this rales ont

Tbe Statesman has often discussed
the opening of trade with El Paso and
New Mexico. A train has lately
reached San Antonio from Los Cruces.
The Ex-pre says: 'The mayvr-domo
of the train states that he ia satisfied
of the superiority of the southern
shipment over the northern through
ew aiexico i
co for on tho northern route
the heavy snowfall renders it impossi-
ble to find feed for tbe animals thus
effectual'? preventing travel over that
region for more than two or three
months in the year while this route
will attract trade rta El Paso from
above Piedros Negras and for a long
distance np the Rio Grande to San
Antonio with the outlying districts in
Arizona Northern Chihuahua Nueva
Leon and npper Texas as important
feeders. This copper shipmeat will
show the merchants and dealers of
Northern Arizona and all the adjacent
region t be ad vantage in consigning their
ores wools and wines to San Antonio
merchants rather than at the termini
of the Denver and liio Grande and
Atchinson and Topeka and Sante Fe
Railroadr in Colorado. The superior
grasses that stand as hay in the ground
throng! out the entire year ou the road
from here to El Paso as also the con
venient distances between watering
places for draught animals is an addi
tion item iu favor of the southern route
from the Rio Grande country. Dissen
Bions between the railroad magnates in
Colorado have prevented the Northern
railroads from pui-hing their linea to
tbe Rio Grande. Let us take advantage
of this fact and by advertising the
present superiority of this southern
watron route to .Northern mar acts rut
San Antonio to tbe Rio Grande people.
