STANDING STILL FOR CON-
GRESS.
It lias been said by a philosopher that
nothing is destroyed until it is replaced
with allusion of course to social aud po
JUical institutions, which are considered as
natural growths and always the best which
the intelligence and circumstances of man-
kind can produce in a given epoch. It this
idea is correct, any mere war of criticism
upon the errors and wickedness of the Re
publican party will be of small effect for
the advancement of Democratic principles
unless accompanied by a promulgation of
constructive policies in which Democratic
principles shall find embodiment and be-
come a tangible substitute for the tempting
and pernicious proposals of the Republi-
can statesmen, protectionists and otners.
If, therefore, the Democratic campaign
handbook contains, as stated by a compe-
tent critic, only a series of exposures of
Republican rascalities, it will be much less
nseiul to the Democratic cause, as a cause
of principle, than it may seem to be to
some ardent partisans. Such a hand-
book will tend to bring out the
energies of polemically-inclined stump-
speakers, men of the most combativeness
and of no conspicuous power of reasoning
or directing any useful reform, to hold the
field against a party of glowing promises,
and against the new forces also promising
much to laboring men from new political
action on undemocratic principles—such
men as now everywhere talk about Jeffer-
tonian Democracy as glibly as possible,
because the words have a welcome
sound, but men grasping at more power
for government for all purposes but those
of government proper. If there is any
head to the Democratic party, it should
have a constructive policy. It should show
what it proposes to do. It may rest assured
that the country condemns Jay Hubbellism
and many other developments of Republi-
can greed and fraudulency, but doe3 not
feel satisfied without something of reality
which will forever put those noxious or
trivial developments of a wretched
spoils system in the background.
Do the party managers not seem to
cherish the existence of a vicious
Republican partyism somewhat as if they
could not shine in any part except that of
combating it? If they can not leave it and
proceed to better things, to elevata the
standard of political controversy, the peo-
pie will be apt to infer that war horse De-
mocracy is not really able to live without
an atmosphere of Republican corruption
from which to draw its inspiration and its
barren critical arguments. How else could
Democratic managers proceed to alienate
thinking men from activity and interest in
politics? The spoils system is a unity
whether in its Republican or in its Demo-
cratic guise. The turning out of rascals
has already, lost its literal significance.
This died when it was seen that whoever
kept a " good Democratic worker " out of
an office was thereby a " rascal." There is
nothing in politics but administration, un-
less legislative candidates are to advance
something more pertinent to their business
than tirades upon questions of comparative
honesty and dishonesty in executive de-
partments. The democratic administration
is cle^ng Us own part, but the party will not
be equally'sustained unless the next House
ef Representatives shall come up to the ex-
pectation of the people,, as a body with
party leadership and support, to make a
new departure by repealing undemocratic
laws and demonstrating that its policy is
not dependent upon the errors or wicked-
ness of the opposition party. If it fails in
this the day of grace will pass, perhaps
soon, for Republicanism and also the
new isms are positive and the country never
inclines long to any negative except such a
distinguished negative as means the release
of positive and wholesome forces.
the various factions of his party, thereby
rtmovicg all opposition aud uniting all in-
terests in his favor, so as to procure a nouii-
nation by acclamation and election in due
course, he has purchased his ofiioe. This
is the plain English of it, and the opinion
of the attorney-general has therefore a
wider reach than he may have intended.
When he would disqualify Colonel Johnson
he cuts close to the candidates for governor,
the Senate and Congress. A candidate for
Congress promises his constituency that he
will procure an ejpenditure of a million
dollars in the district for harbor improve
ments and public buildings. It is a bribe
as palpable and enticing as that of Colonel
Johnson in offering to govern Texas for a
dollar a day. There is under the present
aspect of party politics in Texas a necessity
perhaps for some movement toward ob-
taining respect and obedience to the con-
stitutional provision on this subject, but
why the inception is chosen in the farmer's
candidates of Collin county, who offer
■ very insignificant inducements in the way
of the circulating medium, is inexplicible
when the attorney-general certainly is well
posted in the wiles and wire-pulling of
state politics.
Mb. Blaine is getting refuted all round.
It seems as if in future he must always be
suspected of ignorance or falsehood when-
ever he pretends to state facts. Lately he
stated that under the protective tariff
Maine had trebled in wealth. The Pitts-
burgh Post quotes the last United States
census on him, and shows that the increase
has been less than 50 per cent, in twenty
years, mostly on real estate, the assessed
value of which in 18C0 was $86,717,716 and
in 1880 $173,856,248. The personal property
decreased, being $67,662,672 in 1869 and only
$€8,122,474 in 1880. The Post says: "In
manufactures Maine is also falling behind.
In 1880 it had 4481 factories in the State and
in 1870 it had 5550. It paid out in wages
$13,600,000 in 1860, against $14,280,003 in 1870,
and the value of products was $79,590,030 in
1870 and $70,829,000 in 1880. Wages decrease
and the value of the work increases. While
Maine is stationary or falling behind in
population, agriculture and manufactures,
illiteracy is on the increase. It had 13,000 in-
habitants in 1870 over 16 years of age unable
to read and 18,000 in 1886. It had 19,000 in
1870 unable to write and 22,000 in 1880." But
perhaps Mr. Blaine estimates his own
statesmanship as being worth some bil-
lions of dollars for ornament, or perhaps
he does not count those people of Maine
who are not tariff beneficiaries. That the
protected employers have greatly increased
their own wealth is not doubted.
MOKE THAN ONE WAY FOR BRIB-
ING VOTERS.
In the judgment of Attorney • general
Templeton the candidates for county offices
in Collin county who have promised the
voters to relinquish their pay for ex officio
services have thereby become disqualified
from holding the offices they seek. The
opinion reaches much further than the Col-
lin county aspirants for local offices, and
probably they have been introduced simply
to disguise the attack upon a distinguished
doodlebug candidate for the high office of
governor. It is well known that Colonel
Rntabega Johnson, of Collin, has a
standing offer to the people to serve
them as governor at a dollar a day
and trimmings. The State's legal luminary
thinks [that such propositions to voters in-
capacitate the candidate from taking the
oath of office. That oath includes a de-
claration that the affiant has not directly or
indirectly paid, contributed or promised
money or thing of value, or promised office
or employment as a reward for giving or
withholding a vote at the election at which
he was elected, or if the office is one of ap- .
pointment, to secure his appointment. This '
is required because the offices are not to be
bartered and traded. The governor's sala-
ry is about $15 a day, including findings, and
Colonel Johnson would surrender $14 a day
to the tax-payers as a bribe for their votes.
But if the object of this oath is to prevent
the purchase of office, and Colonel Johnson
used $14 a day for a year to procure the
nomination to that office by the dominant,
party and thereby did procure the nomina-
tion, the subsequent election to it being a
matter of course, he would have purchased
the office and would have violated the spirit
and intention of the law as clearly as if he
had bribed the voters at the polls. If a
candidate for the United States Senate paid
members of the legislature stipulated
sums for their votes, or gave their
friends federal appointments, or
promised them appointments, he
would purchase his office. If he, being
governor, appointed the relatives of mem-
bers of the legislature to offices in the State
cr pardoned their friends out of prison, or
remitted their fines to secure votes for the
office of United States senator, he would
purchase the office. But in neither instance
would he more directly violate spirit and
policy of the law than the candidate for
governor does who expends thousands of
dollars, and promises numerous offices and
appointments to secure the nomination of
the Democratic party for that office. The
text or letter of tha law shows that the aim
of the constitution-makers was to procure
elections free of the influence of money, bat
is radically defective in ignoring the
existence of political parties and their para-
mount control of elections. When a can-
didate for Congress not only promises, but
pays, in the way of office-distribution to
The Chicago Times, according to itself,
is'still run by Wilbur F. Storey. Well, Mr.
Storey practiced spiritualism for some time
before his death, and no doubt his ante-
mortem experience in that line comes in
handy now.
The Industrial Review, published at
Philadelphia, says:
The practical politicians who believe In
talking civil service reform before election,
but who afterward laugh at It as impracti-
cable, have had an excellent opportunity to
furnish the citizens of Philadelphia with a
first class object letter in postoffloe misman-
agement, and, with fatuous disregard of the
public interest, have made the most of It. We
are not concerned with the harm they may
have done themselves politically. The sub-
ject! Is one that ought to be considered out
side of and above partisan relations. What
we in common with the rest of the business
community ask Is that the abuse be remedied.
And as pertinent to the occasion, we ask also
whether we are expected to wait unlll Mr.
Harrlty's substitutes for the experienced and
competent postoflice employes dismissjxl by
him nave learned the woft at which thay are
now but sorry bunglers.
Hal w. Greer's Democrats are remark-
ably economical in noise-making, so far.
Mexican humor takes singular forms.
El Mundo tells a story from Matamoros of
a Mexican who saw a portrait of ex-Presi-
dent Gonzales in a pawnshop. He bought
it for $5, then went and purchased some
kerosene, poured this over the portrait and
set fire to it. He sat on the edge of
the sidewalk] and enjoyed the sight
of the burning picture, winding up witti the
observation that all good Mexicans (hiuld
do the same, not with the portrait, but with
its original, for having been the most thiev-
ish president Mexico ever had.
The Hon. Joe Tryon is a candidate for
pounty attorney in Harris county, and the
Hon. Alex Sampson is a candidate for
county attorney in Galveston county. Evi-
dently an effort is being made to condemn
by popular suffrage both branches of the
Nineteenth legislature.
The Republican candidate for Congress
in the Fort Wayne district, Indiana, is mak-
ing his canvass on a strictly free-trade
platform. His speeches are nearly all de-
voted to the tariff, and he advocates its en-
tire obliteration, except what is necessary
for revenue to pay the expenses of govern-
ment economically administered. His so-
called Democratic opponent has not a word
to say on the question. The so-called Re-
publican should be elected, as he is the
real Democrat. Names are sometimes
adopted for deceptive purposes.
The sickly sentimentalists are already
shedding copious tears over the probable
fate of the Chicago anarchists. They would
do the same thing if old Geronimo's neck
were in immediate danger.
The wife of Frank Hill, a Greensburg (Pa.)
druggist, eloped with Marchand, a lawyer,
and went to Florida, where they were over-
taken by Hill and taken back to Pitts-
burgh. The case has been in litigation sev-
eral months, and now a final and peaceful
settlement has been made. Mrs. Hill is to
pay the cost of all proceedings, which will
amount to $2000. All suits are to be with-
drawn, and Hill is to retain property val-
ued at $9000 and $6000 in cash. Mrj. Hill re-
tains the balance of her fortune, which
amounts to $23,000. Mr. Hill appears to be
a pretty smart business man. The lawyer
appears to come out easiest, and yet other
dames will perceive that it cost money to
elope even with a lawyer.
It is said that Blaine is going to take a
hand in the Pennsylvania campaign. If he
does the election returns will make an in-
teresting study. Blaine had nothing to do
with last year's campaign, when Quay was
elected state treasurer. The Republican
majority when Blaine had nothing to do
with the canvass and the majority when he
took part in the canvass will look suggest-
ive in parallel columns.
Judge Simrall, a Mississippi lawyer, is
the Republican candidate for Congress in
the Shoestring district of that State. Re-
publican papers are complaining that the
Vicksburg Herald, which they say is edited
by the postmaster at Vicksburg, discusses
the canvass in a qneerly intolerant strain,
calling the contest a mischievous demorali-
zation. This is the busiest season of the
year and planters feel irritated at anything
which attracts laborers from cotton pick-
ing. A? jt so very ualikeiy that the Re-
publicans will listen to suggestions of this
kind and give the election to a Democrat
without a contest in a district cut out to
contain a mass of presumed Republican
voters, it is not proper to urge them, inaS'
much as a suspicion of bulldozing is raised
and the Republican press is to be expected
to make the most of it. What is the sense
of begging Republicans not to contest a
district ? If the Democrats want no con-
test, they should not give such a district as
the one in question to the Republicans.
The last letter of George Moore, in the
Paris Figaro, has the following prediction:
" In two years certainly, and before Glad-
stone shall have attained his 80th year, the
reaction will come, and amid praises and
general acclamations, a free parliament
will be given to Ireland. Then the Irish'
Americans who have subscribed their mil-
lions of dollars to realize this idea will
come in crowds to Ireland, and in seven
years all traces of seven centuries of Saxon
conquest will be effaced. And, if I look
still further into the future, I see the inev
itable war with Russia beginning on the
Afghan frontier, and continuing by the
first defeat of England, after which the
Irish-Americans who will then rule in Dub-
lin will proclaim the total independence of
their island." Mr. George Moore is the
only son of the late George Henry Moore,
member of Parliament for -Mayo, and a
nephew of the Earl of Mayo, who was as
sassinated a few years ago while governor-
general of India. Mr. George Moore is a
landlord and a home-ruler, but pays more
attention to literature than to politics. He
is about 30 years old, and inherited a hand-
some estate from his father, which he im-
mediately proceeded to squander accord-
ing to the most improved fashion, but could
not entirely succeed, because of bailment.
He has made some sensation in the literary
world of late, being the author of a couple
of successful novels.
RStar Route Brady, who threatens to re-
veal the [inside history of the theft of ttie
electoral vote of Florida in 1876-77, should
besuieof lis bearings before proceediug.
He should remember the fate of Whisky
Ring McDonald when he squealed on his
pals. Ex Secretary of the Navy Chandler
bossed the Florida steal and Brady was his
talented assistant.
Here is a specimen of stump oratory
from Maine that Brother Briggs should
closely study. The orator is a Methodist
preacher, and he was advocating the elec-
tion of the Prohibition ticket:
1 like an enemy to "come at me head first,
month open and tall up, be he dog. Democrat
or devil—then I have hi.n every time on the
sharp end i f my pitchfork. I admire the au-
dacity of the Democratic rum ilevil.
Wiggins, it must be remembered, is a
Canadian and in official employment; pro-
bably a jingo who has no love for the
United States. This country would be
ruined very quickly if every charlatan
could have the influence which he only
wished he possessed. The weather and
earthquakes are out of the reach of official
influence.
THE STATE PRESS.
What the Newspaper! Throughout Texas Are
Talking About.
The Belton News says:
The division of labor and improved ma-
chinery are doing away with the thorough
learning of trades. When the present gen-
eration of shoemakers and blacksmiths are
dead it will be hard work to find a man who
can make a complete boot or make a horse-
shoe and nails, and then shoe the hnrt» pro-
perly.
Where work can be best and most
cheaply performed by machinery this is
well; but the learning of trades has ceased
in many pursuits in which improved ma
chinery has not superseded the use of the
hand. For example, although there has
been no greater improvement in anything
than the printing press, no successful ma-
chine for type-setting has yet superseded
the trained hand and brain; yet it is doubt-
ful whether one compositor in a hundred of
the present day ever served a long appren-
ticeship at the business. Some old typo-
graphical unions would not admit a mem-
ber who had not served five years as an ap-
prentice.
The Bellville Standard says:
The special edition of The Galveston
News was equal in all respects to its pre-
decessors, which are recognized as among
the very best that have ever been publish-
ed. They have been productive of much
food, and can not be too highly appreciated
y the people of the State. The News is a
great paper, and its laurels have been fair-
ly won. May it forever prosper.
The Laredo Times savs:
Grain can probably outwrite B. Gibbs.
The News ought to give the boys a prize
package.
The News always keeps its columns open
to lively and wide-awake young men, and
even Btirs them up occasionally to make
them write and do right. Crain and Gibbs
do not need prize packages of taffy to make
them write.
Texas papers that regard misfortunes to
Galveston as judgments, and regard them
with complacency, have a coadjutor of tbe
same way of thinking in the Mexican Fi-
nancier. That publication says:
It was but a few weeks ago that the chief
paper of Charleston, S. C., was hotly clam-
oring for a war with Mexico. At the pre-
sent time that newspaper is filling its
columns with the details of a terrible series
of earthquakes which have desolated the
city, and there is no longer any evidence
that a war with Mexico is of the slightest in-
terest to the Charlestonians. The Texans,
who were but recently urging a war, are
now counting up the list of dead and
wounded left in the track of a devastating
cyclone. The fire-eaters, who wished to in-
flict on-this country all the horrors of war,
have now a chance to study calamity at
short range.
Should every one regard the misfortunes
of others as a punishment for some offense
toward himself, it might serve to diminish
acts of personal retaliation. Human laws,
however, are evidence that mankind do not
leave the work of vengeance altogether to
the Lord, though such laws are supposed to
be enacted for the purpose of repressing
crimes rather than as matters of revenge.
It is scarcely to be supposed that the Lord
sent the Charleston earthquake and Texas
storm in order to revenge Mexico.
The Gatesville Advance-Sun says of the
declaration ii the Prohibition platform
that the Democratic nominee for governor
is " a saloon stump speaker:"
We take our part of the responsibility for
incorporating the " vile " plank in the Pro-
hibition platform, and serve notice on the
whiskycrats all over Texas that we expect
to fight it out on this line if we die a pauper
and are buried in the potter's field.
The Alvarado Bulletin says:
Cranfill has given the prohibition move-
ment in Texas, which was gaining in favor
and popularity every day, a fatal stab. '
The Mexia Ledger says:
The dengue is prevailing in the wicked
city of Dallas.
Does the Ledger subscribe to the doctrine
of the Mexican Financier, that the Lord
sends such things to punish the people of
Te*as for their sinB ?
The Ledger balances accounts as follows:
The News thinks Congressman Crain is
working for the re-election of General
Maxey to the Senate, Well, what if he is ?
That is no crime—General Maxey is as good
a man as they could send there.
May be so; but The News wants people
to come in at the straight gate and not
climb up some other way.
The following is among the editorials of
the Denison News:
Did you know that Denison was fourteen
years old yesterday'/ Darn if we did until
Howard Hanna and Joe Euper sang out:
" Why in thunder, Polk, ain't sou celebrat-
ing!' Denison is fourteen years old to-
day," and we went off and drank a 5-cent
glass of cider over the event.
After which that paper is emboldened
enough to say:
Denison sends greeting—we were 14 years
old yesterday and has a bona-flde population
of 15,000 souls. We have outstripped Sher-
man, and at our next natal will make Fort
Worth and Dallas hump themselves
The improvement in Denison this year has
been steady and healthy. Besides the erec-
tion of about ten substantial business
houses, more than 100 dwellings have
sprung into existence. A substantial
system of waterworks, costing, in-
cluding all expenses, near $200,000,
has been erected, and an elec-
tric plant has been put in, which called for
a large outlay of money. A look around
the city the last few days developed very
few vaoant houses. This fact, taken in con-
nection with the large number of new resi-
dences, indicates an increase in population
of not less than 1000 this summer. We are
getting in shape for a boom.
The Waxahachie Enterprise remarks:
Hal W. Greer.the Beaumont crank, pub-
lishes in The Dallas News a long, loud
call for another Democratic State conven-
tion to meet in Dallas October 7.
An esteemed contemporary, in a fit of
despondency, gives utterance to the annoy-
ances that heset people at times, particu-
larly people with bad livers. Read the
standing advertisement in papers found:
One-half the misery of the world comes
from ailments which arise from a bad
stomach or a bad liver. Chiefest among
these are dyspepsia, biliousness, sick head-
ache and neuralgia. This would be a com-
paratively happy world if everybody knew
the virtues of Smith's Bile Beans as a family
medicine, and acted upon that knowledge.
The symptoms are fairly stated, but do
not put too much faith in the prescription.
The man who adopts the practice of treat-
ing his liver with patent medicines is more
apt to aggravate than cure the disease.
Exercise and light diet are about as much
as one should prescribe for himself. When
sick an intelligent physician should be con-
sulted. About as many premature deaths
are caused by quack nostrums as by alco-
hol. The Houston Herald says:
A few people are always tr>ing to find
something at which to grumble. Some are
even complaining about street crossings.
So it is everywhere, but in this free coun-
try it is their right. Grumbling is a great
comfort to many.

Imm Benevolent Association.
The Texas Benevolent Association is a
mutual organization, relying upon member-
ship to contribute according to age and
benefits, and has done more to contribute
to the relief of widows and orphans of
Texas than any other order we know of,
having paid 141 death claims, amounting to
over $860,000, and saved membership over
old line companies nearly two millions. It
paid more money to the beneficiaries last
year than any other life company doing
business in the State. It is well conducted
and in the hands of the best men. The plan
is plain and equitable. The confidence
placed by the management in the members,
who alone pay death claims, is similar to
the Knights of Honor and other orders. It
is a Texas organization, conducted without
lodges, and true Texans should vie with
each other to sustain this beneficent organ-
ization.
