third party .paper that gives the
democratic party credit for even
this much good done?
An old man in Ohio became a
raving maniac last week upon
hearing that Secretary Hoke Smith
had stopped his pension. Then
the citizens of that place proceeded
to burn Mr. Smith in effigy. The
old man served through the war,
but, as he was not disabled in any
way, he had no more legal right to
a pension than aiiy other old man
The coming congress is not go-
ing to do things hurriedly. That
is to Bay, the hurry is not going to
be so great that wise action-will not
be taken. Good legislation, even
though not so hurried, is far pre-
ferable to laws quickly passed, and
then found to be inoperative or
unwise in some of their parts. It
is safe to say that good work will
be accomplished by this congress,
but it may not be hastily done.
Nearly all congressmen, while
having opinions of their own,
l seem willing to hear the other fel-
' lows side of it.
In reality there is no such thing
as Clark democrats and Hogg
democrats now. The 8th of No-
vember obliterated all the issues of
ign and wiped out all
the Hogg and iTTHfk particN.^kS'.»,
what are democrats going to do?
They can resurrect these issues, or
they can raise new issues and call
them Hoggism or Clarkism, if they
I want to. But there is no necessity
for it, and the best way is to cover
up the past and look only into the
future. Work together, and don’t
call names, or make faces. Its
ugly, and poor policy.
In the democratic committee
meeting Monday were a number of
third party spectators, watching the
proceedings. No emocrat attends
a third party committee meeting to
devise measures and planB for carry-
ing on their campaigns, because
their meetings are held with closed
doors, with outer and inner guards,
pass words, etc. Democracy has no
secret work—it has no ways that
| are dark, etc. Which commends
! most to the mind of the free
Amenrau.citizen who loves freedom
—the open, pubfie^meeting of de-
mocracy where all meiTol all parties
may attend, or the secret caucus Party speakers at their appoint
bat he not being present the en-
tire duties devolved upon the sec-
retary.
The roll by precincts was called
and following chairmen found to
be present:
Precinct 1.—Mose Hurley.
Precinct 5.—J. D. StClair.
Precinct 7.—J. R. Parnell.
Precinct 8.—J. H. F. Skipper.
Precinct 10.—I. Cowan, A. B.
Cowan, proxy.
Precinct 11.—J. H. Ashworth.
Precinct 12.—B. H. Caraway.
Precinct 14.—A. H. Miller.
After a brief talk by the chair-
man in which he stated that one
of the main objects of this meeting
was to put speakers into the coun-
ty to meet the speakers of the
third party who are making so
close a canvas of not only the
whole state in general, but Erath
county in particular. H. H. Har-
din was called for and responded
in a ten minutes talk favoring
meeting these third party speakers
at every point where we could
hear of their making public talks.
W. J. Oxford followed, favoring
the same policy. He thought
that if democratic speakers would
meet the third party orators and
expose the policy of their “argu-
ments” that the county is entirely
safe.
J. C. George was next called for
and spoke to the same point. All
the speakers favored and made
strong arguments looking to the
working together in harmony once
more of the tw'o factions of the
party formerly known as the Hogg
and Clark factions. All favored a
united democracy again and this
sentiment prevailed in the meet-
ing, there not being a single ex-
pression agaiust it.
The following resolution was
adopted unanimously:
Whereas, under the guise of ed-
ucating the people of Erath county
who belong to the alliance, or who
will be duped into third party doc-
trines, certain leaders of the third
party are continually arraigning
the democratic party under false
and malicious charges, and it be-

Resolved, That this Executive
Committee authorize the Precinct
Chairman of Precinct No. 1, at
Stephenville to organize a Central
Democratic Club of Erath County,
to which every democrat in the
county who voted for Cleveland
at the last national election shall
be eligible to membership, and that
this Central Club be authorized to
send out on any and all occasions
speakers to meet any opponent to
the party; that this committee
shall meat at least once every two
months.
Resolved, further, That every
Precinct Chairman be requested to
organize clubs in his precinct, and
that a feature of these clubs col-
lectively be to meet with the Cen-
tral Club in its meetings, and make
them grand rallies and family re-
unions, and that a thorough or-
ganization be kept up and main-
tained henceforward.

The boys are requested to meet
on next Thursday night to form a
military company. This is a good
move, and the boys should turn
out in full force. There is no train-
ing like military training. It is an
education in itself, in its way.
There is an opportunity now to get

examination, left on Monday. He
took about forty affidavits of bad
service while here, and numerous
others would have made similar
statements had it been deemed nec-
essary. A strong resistance was
made to the testimony, by friends
of the present incumbent, and some
“guano” deposited right freely in

relations. Therefore, knowing this de-
termining influence of education on the
individual man’s desttfiy and on the in-
stitutions, laws and practices of man aa
social being, it is not to be wondered at
that the wise and liberal of all Christian
nations, in their individual capacity, in
religioue organizations, and in their civil
conetitutione, have provided (Or the in-
vestment of millions of money, and have
actually invested millions in the work of
education. The judgment of the christain
world sets aside annually a large per cent
of its income to be applied in various
forma to the advancement of the cause of
education.
My friends: You are now a part of that
illustrious company that is ever blessing
the world with its thought and action bv
founding the institution that secure the
intellectual, moral, and spiritual develop-
ment of man. Intellectual development,
that holds man ever in the study of tbe
truth; moral development, that gives rest
only in the right; and spiritual develop-
ment, that sees, serves and worships Goa.
Do not be uneasy about your work. Of
the many noble colleges now in Texas,
not many years ago not one existed.
Some of the very best are but now begin-
ning their existence. Ours is but begin-
ning. Why should any one thiuk we
shall not suceeed7 Are not tbe great
principles already spoken of that are at
the back, or at the foundation of all true
educational work, back, or at the founda-
tion of our educational work? And do not
these constitute the first, the natural, the
strongest grounds for our hopes of success?
In these inspiring facts can we not hear
God’s voice calling us forward to success.
And shall we be heedless when God calls?
But again: Think of the conditions of
succeu that are at hand and in sight.
If the number already committed to
tlie work remain as they now are, united
in purpose and effort, they of themselves
can throw a force of sufficient strength
into the enterprise to secure it* complete
success. But this number will be greatly
Increased. There are many citizens, both
in the town and in the country outaidc of
the town, who will certainly join you in
your good work. That men of intelli-
gence, liberality and public spirit, when
assured of tbe certainty of a work like
this, will not take a hand is not thinkable.
They will be with you. They will soon
begin to give the matter the attention
that its importance demands, and then
they will begin to act. Borne that have

the religious organizations of the world,
and when the world shall conform its es-
tablishments to this “true." I hear one
■ say, then there will never be the quiet, the
rest of universal peace. Perhaps not; but
certain it is if not found, the search there-
for will never cease. And this search for
the true, and the work of adjusting souls
to tha truth, when truth ii discovered, arc
the elements in the great educational pro,
cess. To educate is to deal with nan as
man; to come in contact with his soul; to
develop the thought of that soul; to mould
its impressibilities, to author, in a sense,
its notions of things, to adjust it to the
world outside Itself, tha social, physical,
spiritual. These are the issues of educa-
tion; or rather, to do these things for a
soul, Is to educate that aoul; and these
things, to a greater or less extent, and for
weal or for woe, according as they are
done, are done for the soul every child that

There are three aoils, figuratively
speaking, In which an institution of
learning may be planted, any one of
which, with proper cultivation, will se-
ru re a healthful growth—tbe state, the
church, and the natural co operation of
the individual members of society, irre-
spective of denominational, partisan, or
sectional considerations, and based alone
on oneness, or community, of conve-
nience, profit, social pleasantries, or
other interest of a general character and
common to all. The latter soil, while
affording great natural opportunities ot
success, has been heretofore, but little
cultivated; and never, perhaps, wisely.

agers of the dance ball did honor to
themselves in calling from their social
mirth to a place prepared for public
-peaking to hear the Hon. Lee -Riddle
address the people upon a question of
vital importance to overy one. Mr. Rid-
dle made 'one of his most eloquent
speeches. He spoke at length upon tbe
fundamental principles of this govern-
ment, and of the different political par-
ties which have been in power, and of
thoir policies. He is a fearless speaker
and a good reasoner. He said that there
were but two national political parties,
and that their modes of government
were different to each other. His view*
are democratic. He thinks that every
democrat should strictly adhere to the
principles of true democracy, and that
they should select the best of men to
champion and fight the battles of reform
within democratic ranks, and that, when
the democrai tc party makes its seleetion
and confers upon one of its advocates
the honor of chaperon and leader of dem-
ocratic principles, they should stand to
lylgvjn time of need, and vindicate tbe
cause of a goyernment of, by and for the
people, blit, when-*-p£r"on is so honored
and proves himself a traitor Wihe party
and that, of good government as Benedict
Arnold did, he should be denounced, and
should not have consideration of this or
any other party. Such a person should
be regarded as dead, politically. When
a political party is mado up of such vag-
abonds, and accepts the services of
broken-down politicians, and expeled
preachers as leaders, it is without honor
or patriotism. A party with such models
as politicians to champion its cause is in
for a speculative purpose, and would
pray upon the unlearned person in a
treacherous way would encourage local
and national prejudice.
Mr. Riddle made a very plain and
pointed speech. It is time, I think, Mr.
Editor, for all men to do the same way.

play both pig and puppy, and every mau
ought to come plain out, and let It bo

thought every man In the community
must have been there, and every one of
them democrats, but, as I tramped on up
tha creek, I passed a third party picnic,
and learned there were two democrats
there. They must surely have been ap-
pointed on committees or something, else
they would not have been there. But 1
must tramp on, and haven’t time to in.
form you positively on this point.
