months.
New York papers notice a case of fatal
poisoning from treatment of a diseased tooth
with aesenic by a dentist. The deadly drug
was used to kill the nerve of a hollow-tooth
preparatory to filling. The poison was ab-
sorbed into the system, and the patient died
after intense suffering. The practice of em-
ploying arsenic for the purpose indicated is
said to be quite common among dentists.
The princess Louise will return to England
by the steamship Sarmatian, which sails from
Quebec on the 18th instant. It is stated that
this step has been taken in consequence of ill
health, but the truth is more likely that she
has become somewhat surfeited with colonial
simplicity, mixed with a nauseous quantity of
colonial flunkyism. The contrast between
Osbora, Balmoral and Windsor and the new
but rapidly developing dominion of Canada at
first, doubtless, was quite novel and pleasing,
but not calculated to last. It is stated, how-
ever, that the princess will return for the
opening of parliament, when it is to be hoped
her health will have materially improved.
A new and apparently perplexing question
has grown out of the new constitution in Cali-
fornia. This instrument was construed by the
governor and others to intend the inaugura-
tion of a new regime, and an election was or-
dered for members of the legislature and sen-
ate. The election was held accordingly, and
an entirely new set of senators elected. Now,
it appears that the constitution is somewhat
ambiguous on the point, and the twenty sen-
ators who held over under the old constitution
are preparing to take their seats at the coming
.session of the legislature and assert their right
to occupy them. These senators form half the
body, and if one of the new members holds the
same views as the old ones, the holding-over
senators will have a majority and will decide
in favor of themselves. It is asserted that the
secretary of the senate holds the claim of the
old members to be good, and will place their
names on the roll. The point presented is
new, and its settlement will be of interest to
the country.
TWO OR MORE PAR1IE8.
The political history of the country has
abundantly demonstrated the justice and
wisdom of Washington's exhortation against
the ardors and excesses of party spirit. Ex-
perience and reason clearly sustain his
opinion that in a republic two permanent
parties engaged perpetually in a fierce strug-
gle for power are not necessary, are certain
to be mischievous by fomenting troubles
tending to anarchy or despotism, and ought,
therefore, by wise and patriotic citizens to
be steadily discouraged. . It is no sufficient
answer to such admonitions to say
that the instinct of self-preservation
is strong in all existing parties,
and that they sometimes manifest
an invincible persistency of organic life long
after the occasion which called them into
existence, and without reference to distinc-
tive principles or materially differing views
of policy. Two old parties accustomed to
contend with each other, and to divide
with each other, according to the
vicissitudes of party warfare, honors,
places and spoils, are inclined by a selfish
but natural conservatism to look with ab-
horrence and alarm upon anything, the agi-
tation of a new question or the appearanoe
of a new party, that may seem to threaten
the integrity of either. There are more than
faint outcroppings of such a feeling at
this moment among both democratic and
republican politicians of the machine de-
scription. They are perplexed as to how
their own fortunes may be affected by the
efforts or tendencies of a new party to
force them to enter into new lines of
political discussion and to meet new
adversaries upon an unfamiliar bat-
tle-ground. The Washington Post re-
flects, with more fidelity perhaps than it is
aware of, the anxieties of politicians of this
class when it says: "Now we don't want
any third party as a disturbing factor in the
contest of next year. The democratic party
dec.ires to have a fair, square fight with the
republican party in 1880. It wants to make
the issue between the two direct and plain
in the sight of the country. Its policy is
to look with disfavor upon the possible or
probable entrance of any third party into
the fight." But no querulous protest like
this against the intrusion of a third party
is going to stop the greenback movement,
the Butler movement, or some move-
ment, however rude in origin or crude in
organization, tending to gather up the ele-
ments of what the New York Nation calls
the party of discontent. The movement,
the signs of which begin to strike the
old machine politicians with dismay,
represents, to use the words of the Nation.
" not simply a particular financial heresy,
but a loss of interest in the questions by
which the two great parties have been di-
vided since 1850; an unwillingness to accept
the new issues got up in congress between
the brigadiers and the stalwarts ; and, finally,
a wide-spread desire to discover some
mode of improving the condition of the
working classes, including the struggling
farmers, through legislation." The old ma-
chine politicians on the republican side will
find it difficult to keep people who are pro-
foundly dissatisfied with the economical
situation in a state of panic alarm for the
union or of fanatical excitement about
social peculiarities in South Carolina or
Mississippi; and the old machine politicians
on the democratic side will find it equally
difficult to rouse them to a frenzy of in-
terest on the question of what was settled
by the war, the question of federal author-
ity in relation to federal elections, and the
question whether the republic is a nation or
a fortuitous concourse, so to speak, of
thirty-eight nations.
STA.TE press.
What the Interior Papers Say.
The Houston Telegram allows that 4< Gov.
Roberts atones to the youth of Texas for de-
priving them of educational facilities by com-
muting their death sentences to imprisonment
for life." The telegram declares Mr. John's
suggestions about "free pratique and free
fever*' to be "a philosophy as brutal and in-
human as any announced by Napoleon, Caesar,
Charlemagne or any other barbarian who con-
quered only by weight of battalions and with-
out reference to the dead and dying and those
wounds whose anguish compass life's spaiK"*
Largely expatiating in this strain, it further
says:
All Mr. John's prating about the West In-
dian and South American trade is the merest
vaporings of the driveler. We have had no
fever to speak of for twelve years, yet last
winter the writer of this article saw a Chicago
man selling coffee at Hempstead, right under
the nose of the very city which is to sell coffee
to the entire northwest and New York her-
self, when the piping days of 44 free pratique
and free fever'' dawn upon the fair lard of
Texas. Evidently commerce, as it is affected
by yellow fever, is not Mr. John's forte, al-
though in the main a clever gentleman and
fair man of business.
The Sherman Courier adopts the view of the
News in regard to the policy of the last legis-
lature, or of the governor, in receiving and
tying up several millions of the public domain
of Texas, for the building of a state capitol
and other purposes at some future day. The
Courier remarks:
If the state had been fortunate enough
twenty-five years ago to have given the last
acre of her domain away, and into the hands
of the honest and hardy sons of toil, who
would have gone on them and improved them,
the revenue from taxes on these lands would
now be more than will ever be realized from
their sale, and now that this vast area of the
best lands of the state, amounting to 12,800,-
0J0 acres, is to be tied up from location, to
await sale, while it does injustice to prior pur-
chasers of certificates, it impedes immigration
and retards settlement.
The Mason News-Item has a practical turn
and affects men of action rather than of
thought and theory. It says:
If people would spend more time studying
the-*;correct theory of successful farming in
Texas, and less time talking about the good
farming country " over there," we would soon
have more money and more bread in Texas
than ordinary greenbaekers ever dreamed of.
The Belton Courier mentions some examples
of selfishness and meanness as follows:
During Belton's fire some parties refused to
assist without pay, and left when nothing was
offered. Such conduct is perfectly infamous,
and such parties deserve the contempt of ail
citizens. How they get employment is more
than we know.
"Blessed are the peace-makers," but Maj.
McGarv, of the Houston Age, is not one of
them, but rather belongs to the class men-
tioned in his family bible, who meddle in quar-
rels and set dogs by the ears. The Age says:
Every once in awhile some one of our Texas
brethern " shies its castor " into the ring, and
dares the Galveston News to take it up. But
the News, nestling snugly behind its circula-
tion of 12,000, at $1 a month, strictly in ad-
vance, allows the wager of battle to lie quiet-
ly on the ground wherever it is thrown. Moral;
The News had rather make money than fight.
Just now the post of fighting editor is vacant
on the staff of the News. Is major Mac open
to an engagement?
The Statesman has a leader on the political
outlook and the danger to the democratic party
from the bickerings of the New York poli-
ticians. The Statesman proposes, in case the
pending state elections in Ohio and New York
go for the'republicans, "that the west and
south throw off the yoke imposed by Tilden,
Randall, Potter, Conkling and Blaine, and put
a period to the absolutism of the east in federal
legislation."
The Graham Leader does not follow blindly
the lead of professional politicians intent on
their own interests. That paper is thoroughly
democratic, but says:
This, however, will not deter us from expos-
ing the errors of those who may chance to get
into power by means of democratic convention.
The democratic party would not deserve suc-
cess if it required the press to sustain incom-
petent and bad men, who manage to secure
high positions. When we find that our taxes
are increasing and our debt is not diminished,
it is very evident a few individuals are benefit-
ed at the expense of the people. The press, in
this state, can do much to correct the wrongs
of officials, and we are glad that so many of
our contemporaries are determined that no
party shackles shall deter them from an ex-
posure of wrong, no matter who takes offense.
This course will surely be sustained by the peo-
ple. who have felt aggrieved by the heavy bur-
dens imposed upon them, but who can not
know where to lay the blame unless the press
of the state will fearlessly and truthfully fur-
nish the information.
The Texarkana Democrat still gropes in the
dark on some subjects. It says:
One of the mysteries of this world is how a
mule's tail is shaved with so little loss of life.
Bridges, of the.Luling Signal, has been over
to Lockport attending court and mixing with
the big bugs of the bar and the beds. With
characteristic modssty he pretends that he was
like the colored man who told the recorder
that he was "fotch" or he would not have
troubled the court with his presence. But edi-
tors can reconcile themselves to .almost any
circumstances, and this one says:
Knowing the folly of butting against fate
and lawyers, we began to make ourself com-
fortable by striking a bargain for board at re-
duced rates on long time. We thought if such
men as Ireland and Burgess, Harwood and Win-
ston, Lieut. Gov. Sayers, Hob. James F, Miller
and Col. B. Trigg could afford to put in their
time before the court, it would not be anv-
thing below our dignity to do the same. We
afterwards learned that these men were get-
ting paid for it, however, and then we began
to feel bad. We stood it several days, but
as our appetite began to increase and the sup-
ply of provisions to grow less we were ad-
vised that our landlord pro tcm. intended to
go out of busineas, and. therefore, we must
change. We didn't go to dinner one day
thinking to save a quarter, but he charged us
double for supper, so there was nothing gained
by the sacrifice. We have one consolation,
however, i. e., he is still charging it.
The faber-shover picked up various items for
his paper by the trip; among them the follow-
ing:
On this day we dined sumptuously with our
particular friend John F. Gallagher and his
estimable lady. John being engaged in the
mercantile business, we talk** groceries, saner
kraut, etc., and among othervmngs we learned
from him was that the merchants of Lock-
hart were trading at Austin in preference to
Galveston or Houston on account of exorbitant
freight charges over the Peirce road.

Justice of the peace John Moore was notified
of the death in camp on Snake creek of James
B. Bryant, a young man who had been en-

jury and held an inquest over the remains.
The evidence went to show that the deceased
had been ill about seven or eight days, during
a part of which time he was attended by Dr.
G. W. Tourney, of Bold Springs. A short
time before Bryant died, Dr. Tourney adminis-
tered to him, from a bottle labelled strychnine,
three or four grains dissolved in water of a
white substance resembling that drug, and
that shortly afterwards, the doctor having: in
the meantime gone away, the patient went
into violent convulsions and soon died. The
jury returned the following verdict: " We,
the jury, find that the deceased, J. D. Bryant,
came to his death Tuesday, October 7, 1879, by
poison administered by Dr. G. W. Tourney."

northwest Texas, in what is known as the pan-

building, tells the Denison Herald that Oldham
county is being settled by stockraisers and
farmers. In it there are three villages and two
postottices. A daily mail runs from Dodge via
fort Elliott up the vallev of the Canadian and
on to Las Vegas, in Kew Mexico. In some
places where the land is susceptible of irriga-
tion, some few utilize a portion of the land for
gardening purposes with very good results;
but as a rule the soil is not suitable for tillage.
In the bluffs of the river and creeks there is
considerable mountain cedar, and Cottonwood
along the streams, but the timber on the whole
if scarce. Tascasco, near the northwestern
line of Oldham county, contains three stores, a
postoffiee, a saloon, and a sort of hotel and
boarding-house. In fact it is quite a little vil-
lage.

The republicans are boasting that a measure
inaugurated by their party—the resumption
bill—has brought about a revival of business
prospects throughout the country. On the
contrary, the facts may be briefly stated as
follows: Large crops in the United States and
hungry millions in Europe; the crops go to
Europe and gold comes to the United States.
The republican party must, therefore, take a
back seat for a while and allow the first hon-
ors to pass where they properly belong—to an
All-wise Providence and to an industrious peo-
ple blessed with a wonderful recuperative en-
ergy.
