HT KANKIN M LEVIS.
THI'RSUAT, AUGUST
1888.
Hknky Watterson, of the
Courier Journal, is nearly blind,
caused by excesssive night
work.
It will not be a great while
before Texas is flooded with
September editions of the daily
papers.
A Dknison paper hoists the
name of J. H. Britton as demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate
next year.
-♦ *.
By an earthquake on the is
land of Ischief, last Saturday
night 2000 persons were killed
and iooo wounded.
The Galveston Print reiter-
ates its former assertion that
there is little doubt that eigh-
teen feet of water will be secur-
ed by September 1st. It is to
be hoped that it may.
Harky W. Rankin has been
appointed postmaster at Hemp-
stead, vice H. L. Rankin, de-
ceased. L. S. Garrison has
been appointed postmaster at
Dallas, A. A. Whissen, sus-
pended.
No Changk is reported in the
telegraph strike. Much com-
plaint of the present service ex-
ists in the commercial cities ;
the commercial reports are
slim and unsatisfactory, busi-
ness is said to be suffering.
The governor has settled the
Lunatic asylum squabble by re-
moving Dr. Burt and Col.
Rutherford members of the
Board of Managers, and has ap-
pointed Stephen H. Darden, to
the Board; the other vacancy
remains to be filled.
According to the San An-
tonio Times it will be a cold
day in February when the Sun-
day law is enforced in San An-
tonio, It may, incidentally be
remarked that all the large
towns in Texas observe the
Sunday law as most suits their
convenience.
Papers outside of Texas do
not seem to regard the burglary
of the United States consuls of
fice at Montgomery as being an
insult to the nation. They re-
gard it simply as an ordinary
case of robbery and burglary,
such as is liable to occur at any
tunc.
* "♦ •-
The Pilot Point Post says the
cause of Rev. Clark Braden be-
ing assaulted with "foul eggs"
was his "unmentionable allus-
ions unbecoming a gentleman
of refinement and boasted man-
ners, yet good citizens denounce
the attack on his person under
cover of darkness."
Ben Butler's Tewksbury in-
vestigation has been finally
closed and the Massachusetts
people are busily figuring up
the cost. The expense to the
state is put at $13,600, but no-
body can say how much it has
cost the Republican party until
after the next election.
Pat oat the Rascals.
The St. Louis Republican, a
sound democratic paper, draws
the following comparison bei
tween the republican and demo-
cratic parties, showing which of
the two parties puts out the
rascals: "In view of the exem-
plary sentence against Tcnne?-
see's defaulting treasurer, we
are prepared for some subsi-
dence in the Republican Ulk of
meeting the Democratic cry of
"Put out the rascals" by the
countcr cry of "Keep out the
rascals." Polk is an opportune
example of the way the Democ-
racy treats the party rascal
when he is disclosed. It is not
in human nature that any party
should be proof against rascali-
ty, and it would be idle to deny
that Democratic officials prove
unfaithful to their trusts some-
times. It is a monumental fact,
however, that there have been
comparatively few Democratic
rascals, and these lew have in-
variably been punished to the
full measure of their deserts; it
is a flagrant fact, on the other
hand, that the Republican party
has raised an abundant crop ol
rascals, most of whom have not
been punished at all, and not
one to a degree adequate to the
measure of his crime. If Polk
marks the fact of occasional ras-
cality under Democratic rule,
his punishment marks also the
inevitable retribution which fol-
lows and the certainty that the
punishment will never fall short
of the enormity of the crime.
Let Polk be contrasted with
Brady, Dorsey, Howgate, Bel-
knap, Babcock and the endless
list of unpunished scoundrels
who have flourished under Re-
publican rule. From Polk to
Tweed the Democratic record
is free from blemish, no man
standing so heigh in his party
as to secure leniency when he is
detected in crime. It is because
Democratic rule brings with it
this remorseless vindication of
aw and justice, that the country
believes a Democratic victory
is the sure and only way to put
out the rascals."
♦ ♦
Galveston Print: Some
Democratic papers seem to
take real pleasure in abusing
men who belong to the Repub-
lican party, .vhich is in very bad
taste, to say the least of it. But
such a course indicates mental
weakness on the part of those
who indulge in such abuse. Re-
publicans are as much entitled
to their opinions as Democrats
arc, and the great body of the
party doubtless act from princi-
ple. The great rank and file of
the party are not responsible
for the sins of their leaders, nor
for the official corruption of the
same.
State Sews.
I
The State Board of Educa-
tion has made the final appor-
tionment of the available school
fund. The total estimated avail-
ble fund is $1,400,000; the scho-
lastic population is 310,000, the
basis of aoportionment for
counties is $4.50 per capita. This
is an increase of about 80 cents
over that of last year.
"Iowa" says the Omaha Her
aid, "is going out of the present
contest with a democratic legis-
lature and probably a demo-
cratic governor. There is no
longer a republican party in
our sister state. Only a demo-
cratic party and a prohibition
party remain; between these
two the people are dividing."
Rob Roy is the point at
which the Texas and St. Louis
railroad crossscs the White river
and where the last bridge is
being completed. An excur-
sion will be given on Saturday
next. A large crowd is expec-
ted, and it is announced that
Gov. Ireland, of Texas, and
Gov. Berry, of Arkansas will
Mpeak.
James Carey, the man who
accuscd ol having planned the
murder of Cavendish and Burke,
in the park at Dublin, and who
afterward turr.cd informer and
the perpetrators of the deed
were hanged, has himself met
the doom of a traitor. While
on a British ship en route to
South Africa ho was assassina-
ted and killed by a man named
O'Donnell, a member of an
Irish secret society, who was
pledged to follow and slay
Carey.
The Waco Examiner does
not approve of the present Sun-
day law, but it says persistent
efforts should be made to en-
force it, and the next legisla-
ture will not dare shirk the woik
of revision. Theoritically the
Examiner is right, but practi-
cally the law can not be enforc-
ed, except in places where pub-
lic sentiment favors it. An un-
popular law nearly always fails
of enforcement.
New Mratiieitti.
It is announced in the Gal
veston Print, upon what author-
ity is not stated, that Hon.
George Washington Jones has
indefinitely retired from politi-
cal life because he is too inde-
pendent to again ask for office.
It is hoped that Mr. Jones will
adhere to this laudable deter-
mination.
There is no change in the
telegraph situation. Strikers
and telegraph company both
confident of winning.

•— The city council of Hills-
boro has passed a rigid ordi-
nance requiring a strict observ-
ance of the Sunday law.
— The Waco saloonists ap-
pointed a committee to consult
with the city and county offi-
cers concerning the new Sun-
day law.
-■ Last week seven convicts
working on the railroad near
Bells Fannin county, overpow-
ered the guard, took his gun
and escaped.
— llutton and Copeland om-
nibus drivers at Dallas, quarrel-
ed about a woman. Copeland
is shot in the left eye and Hut-
ton is in jail.
—A military company known
as the Palestine Rifles has been
organized at Palestine. It con
sists of about forty members,
including the officers.
—A special from Bryan states
that according to the best infor-
mation received the boll worm
has damaged the cotton crop

to be amputated to save his
life.
— There were two fatal cases
of sunstroke at San Antonio
on Sunday, one of them was a
young French woman who had
just arrived. Monday was the
hottest day of the season.
— The Hillsboro Mirror puts

house in its town. Nothing
speaks better for a town than
Cood school houses, and if a
county seat, good public build-
ings.
— The Galvcs'on Print says
that the school board of its city
is now composed of excellent
material, and that it ought to do
the best that can be done for
the public school system in Gal-
veston.
— Horse stealing is becom-

peared before the recorder in

forced.
— Senorita Martina Morales,
aged 104, is confined to her bed
with sickness. She is a native
of San Antonio and has never
been more than twenty-five
miles from the city. She says
she saw the main plaza three
feet under water in 1812 and
was living on Dolorosa street
when the Alamo was taken.
— Mr. Hall the manager of
the Western Union telegiaph
office in Galveston had one of
the Brotherhood of Telegraph
operators arrested on a charge
of asssult. Failing to sustain
the charge Mr. Hall was taxed
in the costs. He was subse-
quently fined for contempt ol
court and sent to jail. He apolo-
gized and was released.
The Waco Examiner has a
long article on the completion
of the Texas and St. Louis nar-
row guage railway. Texas now
has an independent competing
route to the north and cast.
Waco being directly on the line
expects to reap many advanta-
ges. A strong plea is made to
the Wacoites to take active
steps to sccure the machine
shops of the road.
An advertisement in a Gal-
veston paper reads: "Wanted
—First-class carpenters. Saw
and hatchct men need not ap-
ply." This shows that there
are entirely too many "jack-
leg" carpenters, and the same
may be said ol almost every
other trade.

This compound is one of the cheapest
and most effective modes ol completely
annihilating the Ant Colonies of Texas
that has ever yet been discovered. The
manner of applying and actual labor ex-
pended (as will be seen by the directions)
is so simple and light, that every one who
is troubled with these ravages can,' at a
comparatively small cost, be rid of them,
thereby saving annually hundreds of dol-
lars to many farmers,gardeners and florists,
to say nothing of the great relief and com-
fort it would bring to the many mothers to
know that their little darlinrs were free
from the poisonous effect of those inhabi-
tants ol tue sandhills.
