"Spare the rod and spoil the
child," says the Philadelphia
Mefcuty,may be a very wise ax-
iom, but we cannot agree with
those who profess to see in the
recent Democratic defeats a
wholesome chastisement. Men
do not take any more kindly to
a whipping than children do,
and are apt to be more discour-
aged by the infliction, for the
reason tfiat they do not forget
it so soon. We do not pretend
to say that the castigation was
not richly deserved, for all over
the Union the Democratic party
of to-day appears to be abso-
lutely without grit or organiza-
tion. The leaders of the period
are men who seldom hesitate to
"dicker" if a chance offers, for
tney do not belong to the class
that in the past led the party to

If seems from a special from
Dallas to the Galveston Netvs
that there is more politics than
.fact in the Panhandle country
ernes. Under the revised penal
! code the county has to pay the
afficers costs, and if this thing
of gambling posecutions is to
be continued to the same ex-
troubles. Airesta were made tent there is nothing but bank-
but to pri.s6rters were forth i ruptcy in view for the county,
coming; it is suggested in the As to the right or wrong of
.special dispatch that political card playing it is not necessary
influences are at work and that
certain movements are to be
brought about for the canvass
of 1880. In this canvass the
greenbackers are to play an
important part—just how im-
portant is yet to be developed.
It may be that the democratic
■ party in Texas is to be com-
pletely wiped out by Norton
to speak—in the abstract ft is
wrong, but we have to deal with
things as we find them and it is
very doubtful if these prosecu-
tions will in the least abate the
the evil. These gambling cases
seem to have been prosecuted
more for the purpose of making
faes than for the subserviency
of public morals. As stated in

The discharge of the entire
faculty at the A. and M. college
at Bryan by the board of trus-
tees should be an example to
all preceptors not to be govern

lic morality justify the tax pay-
ers in being compelled to pay
war-horse of the democracy
sniffs the battle fron afar, and
pricks up his ears at sound of
the bugle, he charges blindly
into the ranks and confuses
more friends than foes, until
driven off the field with his
flanks smarting from the flat of
a cavalry sabre, laid on with a
will. Greeleyism was a sad dis-
ease and Tildenism is not much
less troublesome; but the disease
Irom which the party suffers
most keenly is a combination of
of personal greed and personal
vanity which develop the mal-
ady known as disintegration.
A house divided against itself
must fall—an army without a
leader is but a mob—either case
suit's the present condition of
the once great Democratic par-
ty of the United States.
