The Four Couniie published in Fort
Bend county shows what a base po-
litical fanaticism among ignorant peo-
ple may do. In Fort Bend county the
negroes composing its only farm labor
are led to lielieve that work is unneces-
sary and that flat money is soon going
to relieve thciu from any further work
in the cotton fields. They do not
lore to worlc and looking forward to
the happy day when absolute money
and the traditional forty-acre farm and
a mule will be deal out to them
they are happy in the midst of poverty.
Hence the prosperity of a portion of the
State favored above all others in fer-
tility of soil and variety of production
languishes. Th.is year saja the paper
among all classes of citizens has been
one of unusual economy and hardship.
Very many of the property-holders of
the country have denied themselves
not only all luxuries but many necessi-
ties of life while hundreds of the
poorer people have lived for months
without meat. This state of things re-
sults from unreliable labor. Cotton
fields white with the fleecy stable are
deserted; pickers cannot be had for
money while the streets of Richmond
are daily filled with scores of the hardy
yeomanry of the land many of whom
have Wen unable to buy fifty
pounds of flour at any time during
the year their whole time and atten-
tion occupied by the election of a few
county officers two months hence.
This political mania has been going on
for two months past with an almost Cer
feet abandonment of crops and con-
tracts by which others suffer and the
general interests of the country are mlore
damaged than if we were denied the
privilege of election. The demoraliz
ing tuect or a four months' partial
abandonment of labor in a farming
country at the most critical season ot
the farming year is bound to result
disastrously and no country or people
can withstand its effects. The picture
is a glowing one and it may be well
understood and believed when upon
the active streets of Austin the sime
influences are observed to act. Men
waste their time and reputation every
day in sight of the Capitol elucidat-
ing finances upon the street corners. If
a few of them do not wind up their
career within the walls of the lunatic
asylum the public will be surprised
probably grieved.
When a banker says that he pays
one per cent taxes into the United
States Treasury and that his business
is not profitable we can't help remem-
bering that the people pay six percent
on bonds held by the banker on which
is non-interest bearing notes on
which he makes ten per cent. are
based. The peoDle Dav six rwr cn.
' ou-TTOTr.CAUL lar each 490v0p(V bt 4ja fac t'be Democratic party owes its
s
isbucu uj vue uwikcr uuu ue oniy re
funds one per cent on the $90000
leaving the people to give him $6000
1 for $900. It's a bad trade for the
taxpayers.
As we have the right to
terminate the contract the banker
bould not complain. lie gets all his
money back and the people only say to
him "Please keep your hands in your
own pockets." But then it almost
makes us weep to disturb the felicities
of the nice little arrangement between
the banks and the government of
which James Eucll Secretary of the
B&uker Association tells when lie
rays in his secret circular to the banks
"Let the government issue the coin
and the banks the paper money
for thus we can the better pro-
tect each other." We object
to such partnerships between a
republican government and the money
lenders. The government is only used
to pluck the people for the aggrand-
izement of the banks The govern-
ment should own the telegraph line aa
it doea the poatoflice system ; but even
this ownership to which we are ac--cuatomed
is most unfortunate for the
country. Private enterprise would do
the work of the Postoffice Department
at less than half the cost to the people.
The province of business operations of
the government should be the narrow-
est possible and the true theory of re-
publicanism is that that government is
best which governs best. Bankers
mast step down and out.
Makt people ask what can be done
to cT real estate its former prices.
W answer give us the volume of
money we had when the system of con-
traction was commenced. Repeal the
resumption law which makes capital
timid. Pay off the bonds in green-
backs in precisely the method desig-
nated by the law which issued them.
Let resumption come in its own good
time aa it did in France and has in
titer countries. Put the wheels of
iu.lustrj in motion. Improve the chan-
cel of the Mississippi river. Build the
t'outLern Pacific Railroad. Give em-
p'ojruent to the industrious laborers
of the country. Many good Northern

mon asettioui of the Democratic

4000 to 113000 a year. Of these
however only 13 are on the active list.
the remainder doing nothing whatever
for their wages and of the 13 oniy 5
are at sea. It is a little startling to
discover that we have more admirals
than commodores but yet of the latter
we support the not insignificant total
of 5025 on the active list and 25 on
the retired list drawing pay ranging
from 3000 to 5000 a year. The 25
retired oi course ao notbing except
growl over the ingratitude of republics
and tf the 25 on the active list not one
is at sea. There are CG captains in all
of whom 50 are on the active list. They
draw pay ranging between $2800 and
$4500 a year. Only 10 of the captains
on the active list are required to com
mand ships at sea. We have 102
commanders 89 of whom are on the
active list and 13 on the retired list
of the 89 only 23 are commanding
ships. One of these is a receiving ship
and another a school ship. The rest
we are told are strolling about nsvy
yards studying torpedo science that
is flourishing at Newport hops and
archery parties; lying on the sofas in
bureau offices; doing inspecting or
fancy duty of some sort; or playing
the part of men of leisure on leave of
absence. Summing up we find that
we are supporting most of them in
actual or in comparative idleness 1G24
officers on the active list of of the navy
and 204 on the retired list who do
nothing whatever except growl because
they are not better off. And all this
force of officers is kept up at an ex-
pense of three or four millions a year
to command 7500 seamen and a score
or two of stupe!
The world still moves aad thoughts
of two thousand years ago are gath-
ered polished and perfected and grad-
ually extended Into the infinite. The
spiritual and not the materia1 is by
many deemed the real. Profound la-
borious thinkers doubt the very exiat-
ence of matter. The correctness of
this conclusion has not been demon-
strated but the thinking world still
confesses that it is a problem unsolved.
Most men exaggerate 'as do many dis-
tinguished scientists the importance
of matter but many have concluded
that this visible clothing of spirit is
nothing more than force in peculiar
forms. Very certainly a distinguished
lecturer declares the physical Benes
recognize nothing that is not unstable
and unsubstantial. The ultimate atoins
of matter we are constantly learning
cannot be discovered. No analysis of
soil or fiber has been final or discov-
ered their ultimate particles. Nobojty
has seen the ultimate atoms of ay
substance. Force power attraction
repolsian and everything that is fix :d
and permanent is unseen and intangi-
ble. Ideas will thought instin t
gravitation are all alike invisible apd
yet are more real than the toughest
most enduring stones that crown the
mountains.
We cannot understand wby there
should be the least interest i i this
greenback question in Texas.- ' Farm-

firmly and steadfastly nearly half a
century ago. Wild cat currency de
lights speculative gambling and com-
mercial communities. People who
make bread by hard knocks want hard
money. Fiat currency will do to blow
about but in accordance with the
wishes of sturdy honest farming popu-
lationswiIl never become the country's
currency.
Senator Turkman's speech has
bridged the chasm between the soft
and hard money and Greenback Demo-
crats of Ohio. The party is said to be
in excellent working condition even
as it is alleged to be in this county.
But there is nothing like hard work to
accomplish grand results and it is only
feared that some Pomeroy or Britton
Hill will find a supposed substitute for
earnest action and that the leaders and
speakers and thinkers of the party will
substitute some intolerable "fiat" non
sense for "fll" blows properly and fa-
tally directed against the wildest theo-
ries and platforms promulgated since
the "flush times of Alabama and Mis-
sissippi." We have ever entertained profound
respect for the genius learning and
taste of Mr. Garfield of Ohio. lie
has recently made a speech in Faneuil
Hall of which the Democratic (Boston)
Herald says:
We have listened to many speeches
in that hall from the ablest statesmen
in America but have never heard one
that surpassed it in argumentative pow-
er. The intricacies of the financial ait-
nation were made plain to the compre-
hension of all who listened.
They who would peruse a thorough
and masterly discu?uon of a question
now exciting public attention as never
before should secure a copy of Mr.
Garfield's speech.
Tus politiciana are coostautly telling

Telegram: The large amount of
space surrendered to the report of the
cif'zeos' committee upon Houston's po-
sition in the recent quarantine against
Galveston is worthily filled with a
calm dispassionate impartial and
truthful statement of all the facts of as
affair upon which the Galveston Xew
has sought to heap the utmost obloquy
and the most uncalled for and malig-
nant statements. The public as will-
ing doubtless to believe the truth sub-
stantiated by the moet irrefragable tes-
timony aa to believe injurious mis-
statements and exaggerations of an in-
terested and violent partisan will we
tiuat read the committee's report and
doing all parties justice put the blame
of the late qnarantine where it legiti-
mately belongs. At any rate Houston
will be set right.

by a ranger ne appeared in good
health and looked well considering

to sea him a few moments before his
departure and seemed much affected

the throat and one through one of his
lungs. He fell and by the would-be
murderers was doybtlesj thought to be
dead as they went deliberately to
work about burning down the building.
After it was well on fire the victim had
sufficiently recovered to crawl out and
escape death by the devonriug flimes.
He had several little children in the
house whom it is supposed were burnt
to death as they had not up to the
latest information been found any-
where. The man had lost his wife
about two weeks previous by sickness
and whes he was just able to save him-
self by crawling away the little ones
were left without anybody to guide
them from the tortures of a merciless
element. Parties with whom he had
some litigation are suspected. There
is great excitement at Hempstead
about it.
Sherman Hegixter: Pointer Oben-
chain and Rosser the murderers of
Dr. Calder at Dallas are haying a
hearing under a writ of habeas corjnis.
We hear from a reliable source that
these men have never been confined in
jiil although indicted for murder in
the first degree. It is said the sheriff
has kept them in bis office under
guard instead of confining them in
cells as common mortals who commit
such terrible crimes are confined. If
this be true the people of Dallas
county should retire this high-toned
sheriff and put in some man whom
money cannot swerve from the
path of duty. A public officer hs
no right to mark with peculiar fa
vors the rich and influential above the
boor. A murderer is a murderer it
matters not what his wealth and post
tion in society may be. The law is no
respecter of persons and it has been
our boast that the humblest and most
obscure citizen was equally protected
and favored with the rich and power
ful rue boast is an emptv falsehood
if such conduct as that of the sheriff of
Dallas county be common with such
officials. Will the court and iurv fol
low the precedent of the sheriff and
stretch the hard lines of the law in
favor of these silk-hat criminals?
Dr. Calder'a father is a prominent
citizen of Pennsylvania and we would
like to know what is thought in the
Keystone State of the manner of the
son's taking off. What does Pennsyl-
vania think of the Dallas mode of put-
ting railroad officers out of the way?
The civilized world is shocked by bar-
barities practiced in Dallas. Churches
of all sorts have toiled in vain in Dal-
las nd now it is proposed to locate
even in that great hole in the ground
and ugly fissure in God's moral vine-
yard the State University. Fort Worth
even Fort Worth where Paddock is
the brightest examplar of public mor-
als lifts up its hands in horror
when the suggestion is made; but
we don't see why the centralizing in
Dallas of the world's progressive think
ing and philosophy might not have be-
nencent results upon the murderous
pistol and gleaming knife and scorch-
ing whisky. The Dallas Herald that
would even murder a great common -
wealth thinks Dallas a great place for
an university. But listen to Pennsyl-
vania when Dr. Calder'a funeral obse
quies are finally celebrated and hear
what is said abroad of the virtues and
attractions of Dallas and of lexas.
Would not a special penitentiary and a
few skilled hangmen better serve the
place than lecturers and teachers like
Huxley Barnard Lipscomb. Tucker

ticket and refused.
Governor Throckmorton spoke at
Sherman on the tenth and at Whites-
boro on the twelfth.
Judge Hancock spoke at Lampasas
and the Dispatch declares he will carry

The Cleburne Chronicle stands

J udge Hancock speaks at Cameron on
Friday the twentieth and at Rock-
dale on Saturday the twenty first of
September.
Judge Moore and Judge Bonner will
be appointed to fill vacancies on the
Supreme bench until they are elected

Dr. Fry of Matagorda was nomina

convention held in Galveston. He is
gentleman and a scholar.
It will take nothing from the
strength of Messrs. Reagan Culberson
and Amis in Congress that they were
all renominated by acclamation.
Capt. Sam Evans Greenbacker in a
speech st Cleburne the other day said
the people could force the bondholders
take absolute money as Lincoln
did by "bayonets.
Let the Greenbackers hurry np Kear
ney and Brick Pomeroy for the Texts

The Democrats all over the Weft

that their names were used without
authority and so it alwsys has been.
Col. Wellborn candidate for Con

A writer in the Georgetown says
f Jndge Terrell's speeches that on the i
financial question they show more
sound sense thsn is contained in all
the Greenback speeches which have
been delivered in Texaa in the last six
months.
And now that Governor Davis sees
t ie Greenback party going to pieces he
does not define himself ss being with
it. At LiGrange he said nothirg
about the Greenback party though he
hid joined hands with it. WLa. a sad
plight has thia faction gotten into.
Judge Ferns wrote a letter to the

Sulphur Springs Gazette:. The
Greenback speakers say the Democratic
and Kepublican parties are corrupt
ana tney propose organizing a pure
party. well where are you going to
get your material! "A corrupt tree
cannot bring forth good fruit." W
suppose you mean purely scented ;
so take in a few more niggers and
sweet-scented Rids.
Headlight: "Wash Jones accord

theories of this National Greenback
labor party. Hancock stands squarely

The Democrats down at Houston
wanted the flighty paper monev cand

the old war-horse Stewart but Ham

roy sermon in his usual way and there
comes the story that Brady has joined
Tracy and refuses to affiliate any more
witn tne tissue money party.
The stampede of the Greenback can
didates thinks the Commercial from
their ticket in Harris county will not
materially assist in carrying the new
tidal wave up to the stars. In fact it
begins to look as if by election time
tne political surface will be as placid
and serene as the bosom of an unruf
fled sea with nothing; resting upon it
but the glittering sunshine of Demo
cratic success.

Tracy had sometli te to say. too
against the Democracy and wound up
by introducing his friend Marshal
Tankersly who went rough-shod after
all tne speakers. The hubbuo and
hurrah got 'o such a height that the
meeting broke up at last in a row.
Hon. J. D. Sayersin his Georgetown
speech covered a great deal of impor-
tant ground. As to section 3 of the
State Greenback platform he proved
irom u. a. supreme court decisions:
mat the issuance of "absolute green
back paper" by Congress would be
unconstitutional ; that it would have a
centralizing tendency; its lmpractica
bility; that it cannot have a purchas
ing power; that it would cause un-
healthy speculation and extravagance
it wouia oe entirely expenmental un
sustained by a single successful expert
ment ; impossibility of this or any other
government however despotic to
maintain such money at' par; that
would be repudiation and therefore
dishonest.
The Houston Telegram of the thir
teenth says: Considering their past
in iuck and present disorganization
tne county oreenbackers exhibited
11 a
wonaeriui degree oi rashness to pro
ceed as tney did yesterday to the ex
periment of holding another nominat
ing convention and putting another
county ticket in the field. They did it
nowever not even deterred by the
doii oi two thirds ol the delegates
which took place soon after the dis
cord ant sitting commenced and the
small remnant left fabricating a ticket
wnicnisas hi t rogeneous as the ore
which fell to pieces last week. Al
ready the cry of corruption is raised
and tbe disorganization that exists is so
complete that it cannot be healed. The
Greenback party in Harris county is
simply a laughing stock.
Judge Koberts made a speech at
Fort Worth in which "he addressed
himself to a discussion of national af
fairs and Greenbackisra analyzing tbe
various arguments advanced in favor
of a new party. He clearly demon
stratea mat tne iaea ot absolute paper
monev was "absolute" folly and that
it was directly in opposition to the
universal experience ot the world.
That the Greenback theory for pay-
ing off the bonded debt was im-
practicable unconstitutional. and
tainted with the odium of repudiation.
tie demonstrated the fact that the
Democratic party had uniformly op
posed tbe measures which bad brought
aoout tne present financial distress.
That tbe present financial embarrass
ment was chargeable solely to the Re
publican party whose policy had been
controlled solely by expediency in
tbe interest of monopolies and an
effort to centralize tbe government.
That in the very nature of the consti-
tution and character of our govern
ment there would never be but two
great national parties; the Republican
party which was in favor of centrali
zation and monopolies and the Demo
cratic party which stood strictly by
the Constitution with its limitations
and provisions. Know-Nolhingism
Mormonism Greenbackisra and all
other isms might flourish for awhile
but it would only be temporary. The

Miss Martha Atalanta Lumpkir
daughter of Governor Lumpkin is tbe
guest of Mrs. Dr. John M. Johnson.
It may not be generally known that
Atlanta was first named Mirthasville
after this lady and afterward her sccl
ond name Atalanta was given to the
place. Thia was changed into At'aata
gradually. Miss Lumpkin should be
proud of her flourishing namesake.
Knoxville Irilwiw: For some weeks
past a rumor has been current here-
about implicating one Iicv. Dr. D. M.
Breaker formerly a divine of this city
in a first-class scandal in having been
criminally intimate with a young lady
a member of the church with which he
was formerly connected. This sleek
gospel shaik who is well known
throughout East Tenuessee it is said
stands convicted by his own letters of
the seduction of the young woman re-
ferred to and the dying confession of
the betrayed girl leaves no doubt as to
the truth of the assertions. We are
persuaded that this sprig of Zion has
been vociferating about in Texas and
formeily in Alabama and Mississippi.
The New York World gives an intei-
view with Col. Pcmberton Briggs in
which the Colonel expresses a no vi 1
theory in regard to yellow fever. He
thinks it originates in the exhalations
which arise frcm negroes and that tbe
germ of tne disease is an animalcule
which floats in the air but is not per
ceptible by science. This germ he
thinks could be destroyed by a con-
tinuous artillery fire through the infec
ted regions. His reason for so believ
ing is that there was no yellow fevtr
during the war. He further says when
the negroes were slaves they did not
die from yellow fever. Now they die
not from disease but from fright.
Therefore he thiuks that not more than
ten of them should be allowed to live
in one place.
Memphis Amltiuehe: The plague's
course is surely and quickly toward the
South. The old infected district hav-
ing been burned black and bare the

in South Memphis and burning it up.
In the suburbs cases have appeared on
every avenue almost; in many places
deemed spots of perlect security.
