The Journal has received the
first and second numbers of the
Oiddings Advocate, a neat and
newsy sheet recently started at
Oiddings by Messrs. Phillips &
Knapp. It has onr best wishes.
Mb. Niggli, ex-sheriff of Medina
county, and United States deputy
marshal, died at San Antonio on
last Monday, from the effects of
wounds received at the hands of
Sheriff Thumm of Medina county,
several days ago.
A Berlin dispatch says Emper-
or William gave an exhibition last
Sunday, of the excellent health
he is now cnjoving. He attended
the annual shoot by the Foot
Guards, at Potsdam, fired several
shots himself, and tiled addressed
the uiarksmeu.
A glove contest between John
L. Sullivan and Dominick McCaf-
frey, took place at Chester park,
Cincinnati, last Saturday. Six
rounds were fought. The referee
decided the contest in favor of
Sullivan, which did not give sat-
isfaction. It is thought they will
fight again as soon as the prelimi-
naries can be arranged.
The Fort Worth Gazette ap-
pears to have succumbed. The
Democrat has beeu revived, and
the merchants and business men
of the Fort have announced their
determination to support it. They
have given the Gazette notice of
their withdrawal of patronage on
account of its failure to carry out
its contracts.
The Bloody Shirt U Iowa.
Thebe was a grand anti-prohi
bition barbecue at 1‘adgitt’s park,
Waco, last Saturday. It is esti-
mated there were between 5000
and 6000 people on the grounds.
The speakers were Senator Coke,
Congressman Mills and Judge
George Clarke. A short synop-
sis of the Senator’s speech ap-
pears in Sunday’s News.. Judg
ing from it. The Journal is in
clined to think that the Senator
disposed of ltev. Mr. Carroll very
effectually.
It has been very Jnelly claimed
that the Be publican party was
formed te meet e special exigen-
cy, and tbit it eannot protect its
existence upon an extraneous is-
sue. It was a party with a par-
ticular mission, and never rightly
set up a code of principles. On
the other band, the conservative
people of the country who believe
in conservative methods sre re-
presented by the Democracy,
which, in its nature, is a lasting
organization, and the opposition
parties which have been organiz-
ed against it at various junctures
under different names, to accom-
plish specific changes or reforms,
have never had a very long exis-
tence. They have been tempora-
ry as the Republican party evi-
dently is. It is not in the nature of
things for any political organiza-
tion to go to pieces until demoral-
ized by defeat, and now that the
Republican party has been bea
ten, the question arises, can it
maintain itself in opposition with-
out a special issue, and, if not,
what Bhall that issue be 1 8o far
as we are able to discern, the dis-
cipline of that party is broken
down ; it is split into jarring fac-
tions, aud there is no substantial
harmony among the members iu
regared to the best policy to be
pursued. Some politicians affect
to believe that the elements of
opposition to the Democrats can
be uuited on the protection issue
Hut there is a great difference
among Republicans on this point
as well as among Democrats.
The Republican candidate for
governor of Ohio, who makes the
initial canvass alter national de-
feat of his party, holds to a differ-
ent theory. He says the Repub-
licans must resume the policy of
the old Abolitionists and become
again the pioneers of a great
movement, and he attempts to
fortify thiB oppinion by quoting
the views of one who, though he
cannot be called a statesman, at
least ranks high among the politi-
cians of the Republican party :
Ex-Secretary Boutwell tells me that he
believes the question of prohibition is soon
to beeomo tne great political issue of the
country. From a man of such wide experi-
ence as his this statement is worth attention.
He thinks that the Republican party will be
forced by a growing public sentiment to
take a stand in all the States against the li-
quor truffle, exactly as it was forced to array

convention convened ot Des
Moines on the 26th nit., and nomi-
nated a SUte ticket, and adopted
o platform from which we extract
the following, In order to show
onr readers bow the leaders of
that party attempt to prejndiee
the minds of the rank and file of
the party against the people of
the South, hoping thereby to win
success at the polls. Nothing
could be more absnrd:
» Po»t office do-
The Republicans of Iowa, in convention
assembled, declare.
1. Issues growing out of the war for the
Union can never be called settled until they
are settled rightly. By usurping and ab-
sorbing the rigid or disfranchised colored men
white men in the southern States are exerting
doubly political power. The rebel soldiers
in the South are thus enabled to wield twice
the influence in the nation that union sol-
diers In the North can wield. We protest
against Union soldiers having one vote and
rebel soldiera two.
2, The menace of this crime against the
ballot in the South is also a menace against
free labor In the North. With the black man
robbed of the elective franchise, their power
to protect themselves is gone, and southern
white men can degrade them at will into a
cheap form of labor. Labor in the South
eannot be pauperised without the wages of
labor in the North being necessarily affected.
It is already driving southern blaoki to the
North, to find both liberty and employment
and Iowa has received thousands of such men
who have sought and found a chance to live
as freemen and work for good wages. The
Republican party declares in the interest of
honest and safe government; that there can
not be political inequality maintained among
the citizens of a free republic, and that there
can not he a minority of white men in the
South ruling a majority of men in the N orth.
8. The ascension of the Democratic doc-
trine of state rights to power is evinced by
the character of lie diplomatic appointments
made by Cleveland, and we censure his selec-
tion of persons to represent this goyernment
at the courts of foreign countries who deny
the indissoluble unity qf this nation, and who
during the rebellion, either fought for its
success or justified the principle on which it
was based, and still continue to do so, and we
declare his conduct in this regard is made all
the more offensive by hia persistent removal
of disabled Union Soldiers from government
employment

The cholera specter is becom-
ing every day more alarming. It
travels slowly, it is true, and gives
plenty of-time and warning; but
it generally travels around the
world before it stops. Sooner or
later it must reach the United
States. It folloifjthe great high-
ways of traffic and the paths of
the ocean steamers. It passes
through quarantine as wind enters
through tightly-closed doors. It
becomes weak, however, when hy-
gienic measures of precaution are
so thorough that it has no filth to
foster it; but its vigor becomes
greater in proportion to the un-
prepared condition of cities and
towns to receive it. This country
appears inclined to remain indif-
ferent until it shall have become
too late.
The wholesale slaughter of six
persons in Blanco county by A1
bert Locky, one day last week, is
one of the most appalling crimes
that ever occurred iu this or any
other State. The persons killed
by him within two hours were:
Mr. and Mrs. Stokes, Mr. and Mrs.
Berry Locky, Mrs. Locky, wife of
his step-son, and Miss Locky, his
own daughter. He then attempt-
ed to kill his wife, but the cart-
ridges being exhausted he failed.
He then cut his own throat, hut
did not succeed in killing'himself.
He was finally arrested and jailed
and laBt Friday fifty-eight unmask-
ed citizens took him from the jail
and hanged him. Before hanging
him he was asked if there were
any other persons he had intend-
ed to kill. He answered: “Yes,
if my cartridges had not given out
I would have killed six others.’’
Rev. Dr. Carroll, of Waco, In
his prohibition sermon, delivered
at that plaoe, recently, stated that
the "blue laws” of New England
were a myth. Senator Coke, in
replying to him last Saturday,
produced a copy of that code, aud
read from it the judgment of the
court, sentencing Roger Williams
to banishment, and said that “he
was not snrprised at the state-
ments of Dr. Carroll as to the
law. bnt be was astonished to bear
a distinguished divine assert that
the bine laws were a myth, when
the founder of -the first Baptist
church had suffered the penalties
denounced by them. If this grand
old pioneer of civil and religions

ering over his younger brother

itself against slavery, and then the matter
must become the central feature in national
politics. At first the rum interest will be
successful, and then he looks to see the mor-
al factor come to the front until legal prohi-
bition is made general. In defense of that
position ho urges that the temperance ques-
tion must be solved one way or another. The
moral forces of to-day are surely going to
grapple with it, and the signs of the struggle
are increasing daily. Besides its aspect it is
a mighty economic and social factor. In the
Senate there is a committee to investigate
the question. Such a one was refused by the
House last Winter. During a two months
trip to the far West I was impressed by the
great temperance sentiment everywhere nil-
parent, The people out there are vastly
more in earnest than we are, and they are
getting more and more to regard prohibition
as a political issue, In Washington it is dis-
cussed among Congressmen of both parties
how the temperance question is to be settled,
and all of them admit that it will soon in-
trude itself into politics. Secretary Bout-
well's belief that the Republicans will soon
find themselves obliged to adopt prohibition
is the belief of no mere theorist.
It was probably in deference to
this opinion of Mr. Foraker that
the Ohio platform makes the li-
quor question the central idea.
The Republicans have abandoned
the hope that Democratic blun-
ders will render it unnecessary
for them to seek for another and
more important issue. They ap-
pear to take it for granted that
the Democratic Administration
will be conducted so wisely and
ably that all hope of fighting over
the contest of 1884 is folly.
At Austin, last Saturday night,
a mulatto woman, the cook of
Mr. V. O. Weed, was beaten in
the room where she slept until
unconscious, and her daughter,
agetf eleven years, was outraged
and then stabbed with a sharp
pointed instrument in each oar.
When found she was in a dying
condition, and lived but a short
time. The police were notified
and soon arrived with blood-
hounds. The dogs took a trail at
once, and ran down the street
about two blocks to a stably and
stopped. In the stable Henry
Taylor, a negro, was found. As
the dogs refused to take any other
trail the negro was arrested. He
was taken to Mr. Weed’s aud his
foot prints compared with tracks
that were found in the yard. They
corresponded exactly, even to a
peculiar shaped toe. The police
are confident they have the right
man. It is to be hoped they have,
as Austin has become notorious
for crimes of this character, and
it is high time some of the guilty
flqpds were being overtaken and
brought to condign punishment.
(From oir __
Washington. ■
It is said at the Poet office de-
partment that tha appointment of
the meaaenger boys in the new
special letter delivery system,
about which some question has
been raised, will be made by < *
postmasters in the towns, with
approval of the Postmaster Gen-
eral. The rules regulating this
service, which were recently issu-
ed by the Postmaster General,
state that the boys are to be ap
pointed by the postmasters, and
lists are to be sent to the'depart-
ment. The Acting Postmaster
General, Col. Stevenson, has writ-
ten to the American District Mes-
senger Go., in Philadelphia, de-
clining their offer to furnish boys
for this purpose for the office in
that city.
Fears are expressed lest the
Sw stars, which is to bring a cargo
of silver dollars from New Or-
leans to this city, may be over-
hauled by pirates sad despoiled
of her treasure. But such alarms
are idle, for it is doubtful if even
a pirate would take the cartwheel
dollar nnlesa it was forcibly dump-
ed on the deck of his rakish craft
and he was given no option.
There is a contract In existence
between the Treasury department
and Adams Express company,
made during Secretary Sherman’s
term, by which the department
agrees to employ that company as
its exclusive agent for the trans-
portation of money from the sub-
treasuries to the Treasury at
Washington and the reverse. It
is stated that the Adams Express
company hold that the project to
carry $6,000,000 from New Orleans
to Washington in the Swstara, is
a violation of this contract, and
that they will probably bring suit
against Treasurer Jordan. Thus
far, however, Mr. Jordan has not
been notified of any suit. The po-
sition is that the contract gives
the Adams Express company pref-
erence over all other companies,
bat doea not preclude the govern-
ment’s transporting its own mon-
ey in government vessels. More-
over, it is thought that the con-
tract might be open to objections
upon the ground that it is against
public policy.
President Cleveland, in his pur-
pose to keep the public good in
his eye, manages to run against
a large assortment of private in
terests. The ocean steamship
companies cannot have their Bab-
sidy ; the cattle barons most get
out of the Indian lands, and must
pul) down their fences; the land
grant railroads must not impose
on settlers; political bosses are
kept from looting the offices, and
the army and navy pets must take
their share of service. The latest
sufferer is the express company,
which claims that the government
is taking fat contracts out of its
mouth by transporting coin in a
government vessel instead of send
ing it as freight. This style ot
administration may not be popu-
lar among those who feel the

The use of tha word “lady” to

kindia epidemic all over the conn-
try. The good old Anglo-Saxon
word woman ia anppoaed by the
vletima of thia pitiful mania to
convey a reproach. The noble
word “wife,” with all lta endear-
ing details of love, treat and de-
votion, baa boon compelled to give
plaoe to thia prim and meaningless
eabatitate. The world baa noth-
ing bettor in it than a true wo-
man or a trpe wife, sad to try to

,
man Soldiers from government
by means of the disreputable
nntjiiB.ro partisan” scheme, as formulated
by his postmaster-general and practiced by
other heads of departments and by the Pres-
ident himself.
The Republicans came into pow-
er on the tidal wave of abolition-
ism, and having lost it by a long
and unbroken career of corrup-
tion, now seek to regain it by
adopting the prohibition craze.
Democrats should beware of the
trap that is being laid for them,
and^ot forget their allegiance to
the party which has manfully bat-
tled for the rights of the people at
all times and nnder all circumstan-
ces. The assertion that prohibi-
tion has no connection with poli-
tics is false. It is just like any
other question that arises on
which the people have to take
sides. Prohibition is antagonis-
tic to the principles of the Demo-
cratic party, and is being propa-
gated iu the South by its enemies
for the purpose of dividing and
defeating the party. It had its
origin in Maine, the hot-bed of
Republicanism, years ago, and has
been growing aud becoming more
formidable each succeeding year
wherever radicalism, freeloveism
and all the other isms, for which
New England is noted, lias been
in the ascendancy. Prohibition
is the half-way house between
Democracy and Republicanism.

The Breuham Banner complains
that the coanty has all its blanks
printed in St. Louis and Galveston
notwithstanding Breuham has
three job printing offices, and
could do the work as well and at
as low a price as the offices of St.
Louis and Galveston. The Ban
ner says it is had policy to send
money away from home when it
can be kept there. This is true
enough. Onr county officers have
most of their blanks printed here,
and at about the same price they
would have to pay if sent abroad,
bnt many of onr merchants have
their letter-heads, bill heads, en-
velopes, cards, etc., printed
abroad, when they could get the
work executed here. They would
think hard of the printer, howev-
er, if he should send abroad for
his groceries, clothing, etc., which
he conld easily do. The matter
is not confined to printing, how-
ever. We have seen drnnuners
come here with samples and sell
suits of clothing, shirtB, boots,
etc., to citizens who ought to pat-
ronize onr home merchants. If
they have not the particular line
of goods needed, they can order
and procure them as soon as the
drnmmer can from the honse he
represents. In many cases the
drnmmer extorts a higher price
than would the home merchants
and when the money gets into his
hands It is forever gone from onr
community. The thing Is this:
when we patronize home industry,
no matter in what line, there is a
probability of the same money
coming into first hands. The
money is kept at home, and is
circulated among ns. What mat-
ters it if we pay a small per cent,
more for the article needed, in the
home market than we do if we
send abroad! The difference in
the price does not amount to a
rush, while by haying here we
keep the money among us, and
the dealer from whom we bay,
wbeu needing anything in onr line
ia more iuolined to patronize ns,
for the reason that we have favor-
ed him. Viewed in a bnainesa
light, one can afford to pay a little
more for an article procured at
home, than if purchased abroad,
beoanse in the former inatanee the
money is left at home, and the
buyer* baa a chance to get the
same money back in hia particular _ ,
line of bnainesa; while, if expend- ways thus, the bigger the rascal

The Secretary of the Navy will
soon issue an order to navy offic
ere similar to that recently issued
by Secretary Edincott, with rela-
tion to army officers on detached
duty. The navy regulations re-
quire that officers shall serve
three years at sea and three years
on shore, returning at the end of
the latter period to sea duty.
Complaint has been made by some
officers that they did not receive
their full time on shore. To rem
edy any each evil that may exist
twooffioers. one from the line and
one from the staff, will probably
be detailed at an early date, to
keep record showing the kind of
work officers are employed on,
and the length of time that they
have been engaged. When three
years of shore duty has elapsed,
the officers will be sent to sea.
It is said at the Navy department
that if snch an order is issued
there would not be more than ten
or twelve officers affected by it.
The acting commissioner of the
general land office, Mr. Walker,
has changed the rulea in regard
to leaves of absences for employ-
es so that only thirty days instead
of sixty days are allowed for sick
leave, the regular leave has not
been changed and the clerks are
allowed thirty days, the commie
sloner exercising the right of de-
termining when and for how long
a period the leave shall be given.
Many of the leaves now granted
are for less period than thirty
days, the amount varying in the
individual cases. This has given
rise to the idea that the usual
number of days allowed has been
reduced. Mr. Walker states that
this is not the case, and that each
clerk will be granted the fall
thirty days’ leave if entitled to it
nnder the rules as they have here-
tofore existed.

officers belonging to the olnb have
returned their German decora-
tions, and because the club has
struck from Its list of honorary
members the names of German
officers and the erown prince of
Germany. The press and army
are disgusted by the amicable at-
titude that has been suddenly dis-
played by the cabinet toward Ger-
many. The ministerial papers
have adopted a modified tone,
while the opposition papers at-
tack Germany with increased vig-
or. The result is, seven of the
latter papers have been seized,
and will be prosecuted. Public
feeling is more decided than ever
against a concession to Germany.
