It would be greatly to the benefit
of the mugwumps if nature would
come in and endow them with the
protective facilities of the Califor-
nian leaf-tail-gecko. When hard
pressed he can drop off his tail, and
while it ia writhing and squirming,
attracting the attention of the pur-
suer, the lizzard itself quietly slip-
away. In due time a new tail grows
out and not nnfrequently a couple of
them sprout out. But the poor
mugwump, when he comes before
the public tor political preferment he
finds his long, clumsy tail—as spot-
ted as Joseph’s coat—clinging to
him as the Old Man of the Sea,
shouting his past political inconsi-t-
encies and over-turnings, and for
him there is no means ol escape.
And f while there is some merit in
the civil service reform ; and while
the best statesmen look upon the
system as the best method of main-
taining governmental equilibrium
and equipose, yet it should not make
concessions to mugwump ism.

hoped to be allowed to remain at the

it is, he will probably be taken to

not anticipate any trouble on his ar-
rival to give bond however. A few

The statement which has appeared
in several papers to the effect that
Mr. Throckmorton was advocating
Gainesville for the location of the
Federal Court, has called out the
following card from Judge Silas
Hare who returned from Washing-
ton a few days ago. The Gazet-
teer never put any confidence in the
report, knowing that last year, when
the Federal Court bill was pending,
Mr. Throckmorton stated most em-
phatically that he should not make
any effort in favor of any town, but
leave the location to the Committees,
and support the bill as they reported
it. There was no reason to believe
he had changed this policy, which,

Sherman, Jan. 30th, 1SS6.
Editor Sherman Democrat :
I see published in some of our
newspapers a statement headed,
“v\ illy Throckmorton,” in which it
is said that he is favoring the city of
Gainesville as the place at which the
holding of Federal Court should be
established. I deem it proper to
say that I have had a conversation
with Gov. Throckmorton, in Wash-
ington City, in the last few days, in
which he stated that he had taken no
oart whatever in advocating or re-
cbmmending any particular point for
the holding of such court.
I am of the opinion that the pub-
lic should accept his statement as
true until it is disproved by evidence
superior to rumor, and as he is ab-
sent, I make this statement for him,
and as made to me.
Respectfully,
Silas Hare.
The Journal of Health prints an
article by Dr. Carhart, claiming that
the death rate in Lampasas is lower
than that in any other city in the
United States, except Buffalo, N. Y.
Lampasas is a “city” of 4,000 ac-
cording to the Doctor. The death
rate, according to his figures is n.25
per 1000 of population, for the year
embraced between Nov. 1. 1884 and
and the same date in 1885. New
Orleans is said to show the highest
of any city in the United State, 34.S3
to 1000. It is now in order for other
Texas towns to report.

According to the Wyoming Tri-
bune the C. B. & Q. Railroad com-
pany must be a model corporation
of the kind. It says it is beloved by
the people who live along the iine of
road, and that although it enjoys a
complete monopoly of the carriage
business over an extensive territory
in Kansas and Nebraska, “it never
abuses its power, and treats its pat-
ron as squarely and honestly as
where it has a half-dozen competi-
tors.” If the time ever comes that
Texas is equally fortunate we shall
expect to hear the clergy proclaim-
ing from every pulpit that the melen-
nium is at hand.
Wyoming Correspondence.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan 34,’86.
COLD SUBJECT.
For weeks past we have read of
snow-storms and blizzard*. Trains
have been delayed from three to
twelve days. But it is not about
snow storms along the railroad that
I shall write, bat shall endeavor to
tell of personal experience on the
plains of Wyoming. On the night
of October 29th I stopped at St. Clair
O’Mallev, in a cannon at4the base of
the Big Horn Mountains, thirty-five
miles south-west of Buffalo. The
next morning was a cold day and a
drizling rain was falling. Striking
out along the base of the mountains,
with no road to follow, it was hard
travelling, indeed. About an hour
after starting the rain turned into
snow, and for eight miles I had to
travel facing the snow storm with the
wind blowing at the ra»e of about
32 mile* per hour. At 12 o’clock I
reached Webber’s Mill, where 1 had
work to perform. In a driving snow-
storm we had to go on foot for four
or five miles to see where he had cut
timber from Government land. Find-
ing corners ami running a line where
the snow was covering the ground
and more still falling is a job that is
far from being a sinecure. We got
through work about 3 p. in. and then
pulled out tor Buffalo, 25 miles dis-
tant; It was indeed a bitter pill to
face the storm of wind and snow,
which about 5 p. m. turned into sleet.
It must not be forgotten that we
were travelling on an open buck-
board, and therefore had not protec-
tion from the snow and sleet. With
a heavy overcoat on and outside of
this a “slicker,” I was kept from
getting wet. I pulled my cap down
over my ears, but my face had no
protection. My gloves got so wet
that I found it better to take them off
and drive with hands exposed. Suf-
fering keenly from the cold, we got
to Buffalo at 7 130 p. m. 1 now have
but one more trip to make when I
start for Cheyenne, and visions of
of snow-storms on the broad plains
were anything but pleasant to con
template. Monday morning, No-
vember 2nd, we left Buffalo for the
head of Rock Creek to visit the mill
of Arrapahoe Brown. The cog-
nomen of Arrapahoe was given him
from the fact that he had lived with
that tribe for more than ten years.
About an hour before we reached
his place a storm came down from
the mountains. There was but one
finished shanty on the place, so that
accommodations were not plentiful.
Besides there were, two or three
women on hand for the night and
they had that shanty. Taylor, Brown
and self had to sleep in an unfinished
shanty where the snow had fair play.
All that long night snow drifted
around my head, and wjjeft-uaylight
came, I foundjjjjL-hrtfbts partly filled
with^ iRtfw and my clothing thor-
oughly wet No help for it. out in
the snow in my stocking feet I had
to go and get to the fire so as to dry
my boots, so I could get them on.
It was still snow ing and I then made
up my mind that the snow-storms
were getting monotonous, and I
would pull ounGr Buffalo, wind up
my business and pull out for Chey-
enne, 300 milesway. It snowed
on us until we got within five miles
of Buffalo, when it cleared up. I
laved over on the 4th of November,
and then, with a bright sun shining
on the morning of the 5th. started on
my long journey. But who can tell
the treachery of the climate. Up to
12 o’clock it was pleasant without
an overcoat. We stopped at Harris’s
on Crazy Woman for dinner; left

For the Gazetteer.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
A great deal has been said and
written on the silver question. Each
speaker and writer seems to he actu-
ated by some remote interest; some-
thing outside ot and beyond the
question at issue. Is there really
any danger of this country getting
too much money? What harm if
every person had all they needed ?
Suppose, as some suggested, that
the coinage of standard dollars be
increased to $4,000,000 per month,
and suppose silver certificates of
suitable der.ominations should be is
sued against this coinage, these cer-
tificates to be legal tender for debts,
both public and private, and sup-
pose bondholders had the option of
taking these, or standard dollars for
bonds, and suppose the bulli n to
make these dollars, was paid for
with certificates, or dollars, and that
every employee of the government,
Congressmen included, was paid in
certificates of standard dollars,
would the people or business inter-
est of the country suffer thereby?
What Congressman is taking his
pay in standard dollars?
VVhat silver bullionaire is taking
silver certificates or standard dollars
for bullions?
All the bondholders care for, is to
get gold for his bonds.
All the silve-mine men care for, is
to sell their bullions for gold.
The agricultural, manufacturing
and commercial interests of the
country needs cheap money ; money
that is stable in value, easy of circu-
lation and plenty' of it. whether it
be gold, silver or paper, issued on
these metals held in trust by the
government, matter not. It is as
clearly the dutv of Congress to fur-
nish a sound, reliable currency in
sufficient volume to meet the needs
of the country, as it is to afford re-
lief in any direction or for any pur-
pose whatever.
Abolish the tariff with it ponder-
ous and expensive machinery at
once.
Subsidize the farmers and manu-
facturers as did Germany in the rais-
ing of beets for sugar. Then, my
word for it, the hum of industry
would soon be heard throughout the
land. There is not an inhabited
spot on earth so remote, but Ameri-
can foods and manufactures would
be found there on sale. Give the
mg Hathaway’*. Still trusting the
horses to guide, I was anxiously
peering to try aod distinguish the
houses, when all of a sudden it
seemed as if pandemonium itself
had broken 1< oae. The horses
started on a dead run and it was
hard work to stop them, and then,
when it was over, cold as it was, I
could not help laughing. The whole
thing came about from the fact that
Hathaway had piled up empty oil,
oyster ami fruit cans, and being cov-
ered with snow, were not seen by
the horses, and when they got among
them, such a clatter and banging as
they made. aAt last, at 10 o’clock
at night, we are safely housed. How
the wind does shriek around the cor-
ners of the houses, and added to this
is the howling ot a band of wolves
near by, that the storm had driven to
the timbered bottoms for protection.
Worn out and tired I sought my bed,
and after lying down let my mind
have full play, and quickened as it
was by the shrieking wind I went
rapidly over the episods of the past
six hours, and could then see the
risk I had run in that fearful drive
across the treeless and trackless
prairie. The next morning the -torm
was still raging, and the people at
the stage stand began to discuss the
non-arrival of the stages then due
from the north and south. Hour-
went by and still no stages, and it
was 2 p. m. before the stages came
in that were due at 6 a. m. They
had the same tale to tell, heavy
snow-storms all along the line and
travel impeded and stopped in many
places. All that day we lay up. On
the morning of the 7th we pulled out
for the south. Our route lay up the
dry fork of-Powder River and it was
hard travelling. The snow on the
level was about 14 inches, and in the
ravines along the road the horses
would go up to their sides. We
were from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m. in trav-
elling 17 miles, and we stopped over
at that hour at what is known as the
Pine Tree or 17 Mile Ranch. No
other event save travelling in slush
transpired until the morning of Nov.
nth. We had stopped over night
on the 10th at Horse Shoe Ranch,
and on the morning of the 1 ith
found a gale blowing from the north-
west and accompanied by snow. But
it is in my back that the wind will
be and I pull out for home. For
six miles it is up grade until the top
of Horse Shoe Breaks are reached.
Thence for 4 miles I travel on the
backbone of the ridge and then for
8 miles down grade. Reaching the
top of the breaks, I find the road
smooth and as hard as adamant. The
wind is on my back and I spin along
at the rate of about 8 miles an hour.
When I start down grade I fairly fly.
I go the S miles in less than an-hettr.
I run ou‘ n£ Snow-storm, but not
wind. Crossing Cottenwood I
am to experience a ger^me sand-
storm for more than *o miles. The
wind being on my back, all the dust
I raise goes on my horses. The
weather office here shows that the
wind was 4S miles an hour on that
day. Sometimes for more than a
quarter of a mile the sand is so thick
that I cannot see my horses. The
wind blows so hard that the sand is
blown against my face so hard, that
my face burns as if I was near a fire.
Had I been going against the wind
it would have been impossible to
travel. But that day ends my trouble
for I get to Hunton’s Ranch, 64
miles from Cheyenne, and the next
two days are beautiful fall days.
Such in brief is the experience of
your correspondent on the plains of
Wyoming. Within 14 days he was
in four snow-storms and one sand-
storm, and I can truly say with the

30 miles away. I had noticed, soon
after leaving, in the north-east a
dull, heavy, loaded-looking cloud,
that to me was an indication of a
brewing snow-storm. When 8 miles
from Crazy Woman the cloud began
to move pretty fast, and the ther-
mometer began to fall. Stopping
the team, we donned overcoats,
slickers and overshoes, and prepared
for what we now saw was inevitable.
22 miles from a house in the direc-
tion w'e were going and not a tree on
the route Hardly had we got ready
before the snow began to fly. It
came thick and fast, and 1 now saw
that we were n for a tight race. A
hundred chances to one that we
would get lost, and we missed a
good chance to be frozen to death,
and furnish some cribbler with a
chance to write a couple of obitu-
aries. In less than one hour after
the storm began, the ground was
covered with snow, and it was .mow-
ing so thick, that I could not see the
horses' heads. On we pushed, but
it was a dreary drive. Night found
us ten mile- from Powder River and
snowing like Hades. I had no lan-
tern, and after fruitless efforts to
strike a match in the storm so that I
could see my compass, I had to give
it up as a bad job and travel by luck.
I had noticed that before darkness
descended the wind came trom a
point a little east of north, and as
we were travelling in a direction a
little north of south-west, the wind
blew on my left ear and that side of
my face, and that was the onlv guide
that I had to travel by for ten miles
over a treeless and trackless prairie.
On, on we went; to me it seemed
fifty miles and still no Powder River.
My horses seemed to want to travel
directly from the wind, but I knew
if that was allowed, destruction was
sure to follow, for not a house with-
in fifty miles lay in that direction.
So I had with tight reins to hold them
to the course that I thought was true
by the wind, well knowing at the
same time that if the wind varied
five degrees and I not know it, then
we were lost on the prairie. On, on
we went, until about 9:^0 p. m. I
began to descend a declevity that led
to Powder River, and soon the wel-
come sight of a huge cottonwood
tree that I knew full well that stands
a mile west of the bridge greeted
the sight of my strained and eager
eyes. The mile from there to the
bridge seemed to me to be five miles
and more than once I thought I was
lost in the river bottom. Even if
lost in the bottom it was not so bad,
for I well knew that I could hitch
my horses to a tree, and by walking
around keep myself warm until day-
light. At last all of a sudden the
horses came to a dead halt, and I
found the snow did not blow in my
face. Looking up I saw that in-
stead of going on the bridge they
From a Fort Worth dispatch to
the News we see that James W.
Burson, formerly of this city and
now proprietor of the Galveston
Tribune, has purchased the Evening
Mail newspaper, job office and book
bindery. Burson is a pushing news-
paper man, and this new investment
speaks well for his financial success
in the newspaper enterprise in the
Island City. The dispatch says:
The price paid was $7,000. Mr.
Burson will divide his time between
his North and South Texas interests,
giving his personal attention to af-
fairs at either of the two points, as
the exigencies of business may de-
mand.
In alluding to his withdrawal from
the Mail and the change of proprie-
torship Mr. George B. Loving, the
late proprietor and editor, says:
“My successor, Mr. T. W. Bur-
son, ot the Galveston Tribune, to
whom I have sold the entire outfit,
is a journalist of experience, ability
and success in his ventures, and
withal a gentleman of high character
and business integrity. In his hands
the Mail will be kept up to the best
average ot afternoon journalism? and
advanced to the highest standard of
usefulness, power and excellence.
I commend him to the patrons and
friends of the paper, and to all the
people of Fort Worth and North
Texas, for exalted merit as a news-
paper man and trust-worthiness in
the business relations of life.”
The salutorv of the new proprie-
tor of the Mail is terse and has a
business ring about it. He says:
“This i« purely a business ven-
ture, and I am here to give the pat-
rons of the Mail, and the whole
people, an acceptable afternoon pa-
per, if that high purpose be within
the reach of energy, experience and
judicious enterprise. I shall con-
duct the Mail in the interest of the
people who are to be affected by its
management and influence, and shall
have no higher aim than duty to sub-
serve. There will be no material
change in the policy of the paper,
but it will be at opce placed upon a
practical business^ basis, and run on
business principles.”
The Mail will be greatly strength-
ened and modernized. The editorial,
