most one of the ablest, and by
far the best schooled and equip-
ped demagogue in the country.
His every political utterance is
marked by the speciousness and
insincerity that marks the dema-
gogue. He is, in fact, a refined
example of the type so vigor-
ously illustrated by Dr. Snyder’s
expose of Col. Ingersoll, quoted
elsewhere in this paper—a type
whose brilliancy, versatility, and
limited benevolence only make
their demagogy the more dan-
gerous.
The billot Representative Mar-
tin, providing tor an extension
of the Australian ballot to
smaller cities, should be enacted.
The Rio Grande valley counties,
at least, should have the benefit
of this law. Their political sal-
vation demands this safeguard.
No man acquainted with election
methods on the Rio Grande can
fail to endorse some means for
the prevention of wholesale vote-
buying there, and continue to
call himself patriotic. This Aus-
tralian ballot has elsewhere
proved the most effective meth-
ods of purging the elections in
districts afflicted as are the Rio
Grande counties. Hence, com-
mon sense would demand its ap-
plication here. The law, to be
effective, however, must require
each voter to prepare his ballot
in secret and without aid.

Horace C hilton has been elected
senator, to succeed Richard Coke.
The latter was one of the strong
men of the senate, and did splen-
did work for Texas. The former
promises not to be one whit be-
hind his predecessor in the char-
acter of the work he will ac-
complish. Texas’ other senator
towers head and shoulders above
the average of senators, and Mr.
Chilton promises to make him a
worthy coadjutor.
Representative Martin has in-
troduced a bill into the legisla-
ture to limit the appointment ot
deputies by sheriffs. The object
is to prevent men obtaining
deputy ships lor the sole pur-
pose of carrying weapons. The
bill will doubtless prove bene-
ficial.
of the question. If he has such
authority this will enable him to
modify the answer given by his
government to Mexico. In any
event, he is here for the purpose
of settling the question in dispute
and if upon receipt by the Mexi-
can government of the full text
of Guatemala’s reply it finds
that it has no further proposi-
tion to make, the minister may
receive instructions to modify
that reply or to make a counter
proposition which may be satis-
factory to Mexico. It seems
very clear that there is away by
which war can be averted pro-
vided this is deemed desirable by
Guatemala. Given the remark-
able attitude of that country, it
is impossible to say what its
government really desires, but it
cannot be supposed tha t even if it
is supported by three of the small
republics ot Central America, as
is currently reported, it cannot
seriously desire war with Mexico,
which would most assuredly re-
sult in its annihilation. Presi-
dent Reyna Barrios cannot be
blind to the situation: he must
know that Mexico will not dis-
cuss a question which has been
decided by the two governments
and he must also know that for
Gautemala to exercise jurisdic-
tion upon territory which its
government has already recog-
nized as Mexican is to invite
ruin. In view of thesefacts, not-
withstanding the present threat-
ening outlook, it is impossible to
believe that there will be a war
between Mexico and Guatemala.
War may be averted by Guate-
mala without dishonor, and is
but natural to suppose that in
view of the consequences that
would result if for no other rea-
son, war will be averted.—Two
Republics.

Our Spanish Department.
The Guide Printing House has estab-
lished a Spanish department with Mr.
Antonio R. Urrea, late captain of the
Gendarmeria Fiscal, as manager. Mr.
Urrea is a thoroughly qualified Spanish
scholar, and has an intimate and accu-
rate knowledge of forms, laws, and busi-
ness usages in Mexico, possessed by few,,
if any, on this frontier or elsewhere.
Under his direction this house will be
enabled to execute its orders from Mex-
ico and other Spanish-speaking countries
with greater accuracy and dispatch than
ever before. This step is rendered neces-
sary by the increasing scope and magni-
tude of the Spanish-American business
which the Guide Printing House is
called upon to handle, and cannot but
prove most satisfactory to both the
house and its customers.

The reader of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroy-
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address,

THE EDITORS.
Mexican News.
The question between Mexico
and Guatemala is daily causing
greater interest in this city; in-
deed the announcement that
Guatemala has positively reject-
ed the demands made by Mexico
has caused no little excitement.
Many people are inclined to re-
gard war as inevitable, but this
seems to be an extreme view to
take of the matter. While there
seems to be no doubt that Gaut-
emala has rejected the demands
made by Mexico, it also seems
that this rejection is not final as
manv persons seem to believe.

Delightful Card Party.
Last Monday evening, Mr. and Airs.
Cram gave a progressive euchre party
to their numerous friends in the border
cities, at their stately home on Ceylon
street. Card-playing commenced at half-
past 8 o’clock, and pleasantly continued
until half-past 11, when refreshments
were served, victors mingling with the
vanquished in the enjoyment of the hour,
under the inspiring influence of the punch
bowl. Mrs. C. K. Dunlap won first
ladies’ prize, a very beautiful and artistic
card receiver. The second prize, a pair
of very pretty bisque figures, fell to the
lot of Mrs. Hollis, Mrs. Lieut. White
coming third with a neat handkerchief
case, and Airs. Lieut. Cornish capturing
the booby, a small swimming man figure,
worked by a clock movement, which,
upon being wound up and placed on the
floor, ran around with great rapidity,
, very much to the consternation of the
ladies and amusement of the unfeeling
men.
The following gentlemen won prizes:
Capt. Watts, first, case for knile, fork,
spoon,etc.; Mr.Villasana,second.pocket-
book; Mr. Carrington, third, perfume
bottle. Mr. Percy King gallantly car-
ried off the booby, a comic black washer-
woman figure.
Those present were: C. R. Smith, H. I.
Through to Mexico City.
Arrangements have just been perfected
by which through sleepers will be run
from New Orleans and all other points
to Mexico City via Eagle Pass without
delay either at the frontier or Torreon.
This will open a practically new route
from all points east and north to Mexico
City, and will be, shorter in time, than
any other. _

Puck devotes a column to ex-
press astonishment at the dema-
gogy displayed by Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, in
treating of the Hawaiian mat-
ter. It is surprising to note
the looseness with which this
term demagogue is used. It
means one who deceives the peo-
ple for an ulterior selfish end—
man who uses fallacies and spec-
ious arguments knowingly to
curry favor with those who can
be misled thereby, and to induce
those less informed to act as they
would not, and should not, act
if they knew the truth. Taken
in this sense, there is no doubt as
to the classification of Lodge.
He is a demagogue. He is further-
demands of Mexico, Gautemala
proposes to submit the question
to arbitration. This proposition
of itself shows that the rejection
is not final because the desire to
arbitrate necessarily carries with
it the obligation to abide bjr the
result of the arbitration, even
should this be tp sustain the de-
mands which have been rejected.
While there is no probability
that Mexico will admit of arbi-
tration upon the main point at
issue, which was fully agreed to
in the treaty of 1882, the very
fact that Gautemala proposes
this mode of settlement shows
the answer which has caused ex-
citement here is notregarded as
final. Furthermore, there is
reason to believe that Minister
de Leon of Guatemala has the
fullest authority to conduct ne-
gotiations with the Mexican
government to a final settlement
