PDBTJ°HED FRIDAY OF EACH WEEK
Col. Chenovvoth has been in
Washington of late looking after
some plum. If fighting Populists
entitles a man to office the Co],
has earned anything he want,-.
Capt. Shep Williams, of Paris,
has been appointed Marshal of the
Eastern Texas district. The fight
for this place was a long one, about
thirty applicants contesting.
Wh en the mercury went down
it was a cold day for the Irish boy
Jimmy O'Toole, says an exchange.
He bit the doctor's thermometer
in two and swallowed the mercury.
The Peoples Part\ chairman of
this county has called a grand mass
meeting, the purpose of which i>- to
organize a central club. Look out
for a corpora!'s-guard attendance
and more noise than Xerxes' army
could have raised.
If some aspiring politician had
been wise enough to have refused
tost te "which side he was on"
two years ago, such an one could
be elected govenor this year as
easily as falling off a lot; Every-
body seems anxious for harmony
but when a compromise candidate
is proposed one side is certain to
kick out of the traces.
Our old friend L. N. Hornbeck
is now. in Washington as a state-
hood delegate from the Territory.
Lewis has been doing a great work
for statehood and we are glad to
see that his labor is appreciated.
The only hope, for the Territory
lies in statehood. So long as it is
governed as now it will be a ren-
dezvous for criminals.
Women now have full suffrage
and can vote for all elective offices
in Wyoming, Colorado. New Zea-
land, Iceland. Isle of Man, and
Pitcairn Island.- They are allowed
partial suffrage in England, Scot-
lopd, Canada. S weed en, Kansas,
and Australia. It seems that the
broom stick and the shovel will
manage the world in spite of us.
Gen. N. P. Banks of Massachu-
setts once speaker of the lower
house of congress", and distinguish-
ed as a commander in the war of
the rebellion, is now an old and in-
firm man, who has to have a guard-
ian to accompany him when he
goes, about. There is such a thing
as living too long.
The fellow who has an income
oi $400 a year now "wrapb the
draperies of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant dreams,"
while the fellow whose income ex-
ceeds $4000 is sorely troubled
about that income tax congress is
to vote on. The Lord is with "us
poor folks" all the way through,
Jan. 25th is to be a great day in
the history of our country, almost
as noted perhaps as that eventful
day when the moon shall be turned
to blood. "It is the time set for
voting on the tariff bill as well as
the day of reckoning between Cor-
bett and Mitchell. We trust that
Billy McKinney's bill and Charley
Mitchell's countenance may be flat-
tened beyond recognition.
If the men of this country pos-
sessed, the energy and pluck of the
"women hard times would disap-
per like a mist before the morn-
ing sun. Whoever heard of a
widow left with a housefull of chil-
dren to raise being in debt, or who
can point out the frail girl thrown
upon her own resources who failed
to clothe herself comfortably and
pay her board promptly, The
lords of creation are full of talk
and schemes but when it comes to
Avork they are too ready to flirker.
And Uncle Jake McGaughey
will be a, candidate for re-election.
A great many people no doubt feel
like this scribe regarding Uncle
Jake—they have voted him twice
too often already. He was elected
the first time because he had no
serious opposition and was "cuss-
ed" into office the second term.' We
do not believe the old fellow ever
did &n intentional wrong but doubt
his ability to discriminate between
right-and wrong.
It can easily be seen that a
number of Democratic congress-
men are going to use every effort
to defeat the Tariff'bill. Many,
who at heart oppose any tariff'
reduction, have not the face to
vote against the bill, but will try
to brim about ts defeat by ab-
senting themselves or refusing to
vote and thus help make a quorum
when present. Tariff reform is
the watehwood of democracy and
be wrho stabs his party upon the
very threshold of victory should be
kicked out of office as readily as
a black-guard would be kicke
from a parlor.

perilous times
b the day is close
A judge ot the Appellate court
of Indiana, in a recent opinion,
declared that any person over 10
years of age who points a firearm
at another commits an unlawful act
and is subject to a fine of not more
than $50 . The wisdom of such
a decision cannot be questioi ed.
Every day in the year some inno-
cent person is laid beneath the sod
simply because a fool though* a
gun wasn't loaded, and it is now
high time to start a yraveyard out
of the cranks who have no more
sense than to point at a person
anything in the shape of a gun
"hat is supplied with lock, stock,
barrel or ramrod.
A €»se
The last Sunday School lesson
pictures man just as he came from
the hands of the Almighty—perfect
in body, a stranger to disease, de-
formity and pain, his mind clear
and perfectly balanced* every
desire and appetite in proper sub-
jection, and his moral and spirit-
ual nature in perfect harmony w.th
his Maker.
Now suppose that father Adam,
living in that Eden retreat of the
Euphrates valley, had refused to
bury his molars in the juicy wine-
sap at he request of his better-half
and the big soake, what would have
been the condition of the world and
the people inhabiting the same at
the present time?
To begin with, and starting right
at home, there..w >uld be no neces-
sity of harmonizing the discordant
Hogg and Clark elements in the
Democratic party of Texas andtne
politicians would be sleeping the
sleep of the just. But leaving
Texas political matters for the
present let, us look at minor con-
ditions,
In . all this world there wouldn't
be a doctor, for man would be per-
fect in body, and disease an entire
stranger. Not even a corn doctor
would be required, and the out-
buildings and newspapers woul
be free from patent-medicine a<i-
vertisments. Neither would there
be a lawyer, as people would know
nothing but justice. No court
house would point its steeple to the
skies and a sheriff, constable or
policeman would be an unheard of
dignitary. And fu therm ore we can
see no need of a preacher, as every-
body would be good and no sin
would be present to rebuke.
A door-lock or a burglar-proof
safe would be as useless as a can-
dle in day-time, as a million in
gold could be left on the door step
with peafect safety. Deeds and
contracts, notes and mortgages
would never have been mentioned
and there would be nobody for the
owls to catch in the fall.
No sensation would fill the col-
umns of the newspapers,as no man
would covet his neighbor's wife and
there would be no danger in a lady
accepting employment in a neigh-
bor city for no woman would think
of running away with another's
husband. In fact moral nature
would be so pure that, men would
look in the opposite direction
when ladies crossed the street on
a windy day.
Returning to matters political,
the gold-bug wouldn't care to
tear out the eyes of the silver man
and the silver miner wouldn't
think of riding in blood up to his
saddle skirts. Hawaii would be
as serene as a May morning and
queen Lili ni would reign in
peace. The Brazillian insurgents
would be out of a job and there
would be no need of a local option
contest to distract the candidates
of Fannin county.
Oh that Adam had had a little
more back-bone!
at hand when Pope Leo will leave
the glorious abode of his predeces-
sors on the banks of the Tiber, and
ship his golden throne and Papal
habiments to the domain of Uncle
Sam. Once here, the author of the
ballad is sure that Leo and Satoli
will kick Grover and Adlai out of
the White House with as much ease
as Cromwell dissolved the Rump
pari aim en', and that all protestnts
will be quartered and burned who
fail to fall on their knees before the
crucifix or madonna, and kiss the
Pope's great toe as an annual pen-
ance for sins.
We sympathize with Bro Pick-
ett in his contest with visions of
; the confessional, bachelor fathers
and tortures inflicted by the wick-
ed Jesuists, and while we do not
share in the id arm by any means,
we append a verse or two of
the song just to give our readers an
idea of the author'- fright:
Sons of sires who fought for freedom!
Shall the foe your sons enslave,
Conscience-bound, with priests to lead them
Like dumb cattle to the grave?
Black-robed clerics engineering,
Undermine by slow degrees;
Piece by piece they're interfering
With your blood-bought liberties.
See o'er head, the war cloud hovering!
Peace professions are a cheat;
Whilst they mask in sheepish covering,
Howling ivolves must softly bleat.
Yonder box of dark confession
Moulds the ballot for the church,
Quenching judgment's free expression
And the light of Freedom's torch.
Chorus.
Rally round the flag of freedom,
Solid stand against the foe;
Let no scheming Jesuits rule us,
Just because the Pope says so.
We,ve had enough of bachelor "fathers,"
Want no more Satolligush.
Shout aloncl the c-y of freedom!
Ihese Popish plans our God will crush.
To a constant observer the fact
will appear early in life that party
fealty rests upon the foundation of
office in a majority of cases where
professional politicans are concern-
ed. We know many men, who to-
day would be in the Democratic
party singing its praises all over
this broad land, were it not for
the fact that, they were once soured
by TlefeatT^KRefs who are now
high in the councils of the party,
drawing fat salaries, would be
numbered with the sore-heads,had
they not been fortunate enough to
be elected There is not enough
in politics to bind all people in
a common brotherhood wnen the
emoluments are out of sight.
A boy-doctor has appeard at
Dallas with healing in his wings
and the afflicted are flocking to
him as they did to the Savior when
he was on earth. The blind see,
the ears of the deaf are unstopped
and the lame walk at the magnetic
touch of the youthful healer—so
say the advertisments. The peo-
ple love to be humbuged,—they
haved so loved from time
immemorial and will until time
shall be no more.
A dispatch sent out from Waco
and published in yesterday's
papers stated that Senator Coke
had decided not to offer for re-
election to the senate. The same
dispatch stated that Sul Ross and
Govern r Hogg would at once enter
the arena and try to knock the
Senatorial persimmon. In this
case it is Avell to state that Waco
climate is excellent for breeding
such sensations, and also that
nobody believes that "Old Brains"
is tired of the Senate.
To a friend, recently, in speak-
ing about the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination in 1896, Senator
Hill is said to have used the fol-
lowing words: 1 will not stand for
the nomination. No friend of
mine will urge my candicy. I
have made my race and was beat-
en. That is enough. I am no
perennial. I hold a Senatorship
from New York to be, next to the
Presidency, the highest gift within
the bestowal of the American peo-
ple. I shall remain in the Senate
and shall endeavor to do my duty
there. Save as an individual
member I have done with national
conventions."

THE

theyolunteer cultivator
_ Never before has a Spring Cultivator been so |
IT y favorably received by the Farmers aa the
VOliVNTEEB. It is simple in all its details and i
possesses points of merit to be found in no other. The l
FBAME can be made wide or narrow, which also
^controls the width of the gangs. The DOUBVJ3- I
[TBKE is a neat steel one, and is connected directly1
I with the gangs, so that each horse has to do its share,
eOt the work without interfering with the position of I
"theshovels. The 6AKOS are made of extra strong
gas pipe and have the parallel movement now bo justly popular, i
. The WHEELS are made by us and WABBAHTED SEVER I
"TO «IVE DOWN, unless by accident. They are also fur-j
inished with removable boxes, which when worn, can be rrplsml at n nominal coat. We |
I make special shovels for Black or Sandy Land which possess all the adjustments found in any
other cultivator. The VOLUNTEER has many other points which room here forbids mention- ■
ling. If your dealer don't have them, we will snip you one to be settled for when found as rep-1
resented. W« alio make all kind* of RidlnirCnltlvntora and handle all ktadi of Agricultural Im-
