ut Costkftross.—As will be
reference to Iris letter on the
Mr. Geo. C. Pendleton is an
advocate for nominating in con
a candidate for the lower house
legislature should Bell county hav
ntative to hereelf. The Jock
isagrees with Mr. Pendleton in
his conclusions. We hare that amount
of confidence in the people of Bell
county to believe that they can select
1 proper representative, and we are
willing to risk their judgment at the
ballot box. We want to say plainly
that we have but little confidence in
conventions. Sootion have they de
generated into factional contests, final-
ly defeating the wishes of the people,
that we, in common with a large pro
portion of our fellow citizens, have ac-
quired no little disgust for them, and
did we not regard them as necessary
evils in the selection of district and
state candidates, would urge their ab-
rogation altogether. But here in Bell
cflonty CTeiy man known by his fel
lows, and as wo are all of one political
faith, with the exception of a few hun-
dred, there is no good reason why we
should not throw off the yoke which a
convention imposes and select a man
to represent us whom we regard as the
truest exponent of the views we enter-
tain. So foul have been the proceed
ings of some of the conventions that
the people should embrace with glad-
the opportunity, should it be af-
;H© try the experiment of choos-
ing a representative at the ballot box
direct. Certainly they may trust
themselves to do this satisfactorily.
Should the experiment prove a failure,
then we can have recourse to the con-
vention system. But we will not admit
that this is likely to be the result; on
the contrary we believe that the ex-
periment will fully attest the wisdom
of its adoption.
Mr. Pendleton's assumption that the
democracy of the county can in their
primary meetings shape the whole
course of subsequent events, is a very
plausible one, but untenable. Expe-
rience has proven the contrary. But
granting that at the time thes primaries
are held they all agree as touching a
single issues and the county conven-
tion afterwards adopts their action, but
before the day of election comes around
a revolution m public sentiment takes
placc, what then? The edict of the
convention has gone forth and the
straight laced will contend that it shall
be obeyed to the very letter. Here is
an evil that we shut off if we allow
ourselves the privilege of expressing
our views at the ballot box. Return
ing for a moment to the primaries, it
admits of no denial that a full attead
nee is never obtain ed, and wire-work
from other precincts have been
known to attend them and in a large
measure control their action. This
partly because of slim attendance, but
mainly because those in attendance had
not had the time, being busy with their
crops, to acquaint themselves with jthe
whole situation, and accepted on good
faith the representations of the inter
lopers. In a local canvass there are
many matters that the people should
know, that are not, from the very na
ture of things, admissible to the col
umns of the local newspaper, and
hence they cannot fully decide what
action is best to adopt until they have
d time to make a thorough investiga
<n. Conventions arc held early; the
election is held late. The inference is
"'Mr. Pendlel6h"iimsf- flunk lR4t our
county is plethoric with legislative ma
terial. He speaks of a dozen or twen
ty democratic candidates. A man docs
not usually run for office just for the
glory T>f being beaten, and we do not
think that more than three or four
would enter the contest, and even if
they should the people can trust them
selves to make the most appropriate
selection. As to finding the party an
undisciplined multitude, we are net
so sure but that this is preferable to the
discipline we have witnessed in some
of the conventions. It is not a difficult
matter to uuite people of common in
tcrests on sound principles, and we do
not fear the least bit of disaster from
the internal dissensions that Mr. Pen
dleton foresees. The interests of our
section are varied, and the way to ar
rive at a proper understanding of the
needs of the people is to let the candi
dates come before the people and sharp-
ly define their views. It will then re
quire something more than a harangue
about the achievements of .Andrew
Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and others,
to secure support. If Mr. Pendleton,
presuming that he will allow us to use
bis name in this connection, were
candidate before the people and liis
private character should be attacked,
what would be do? Either lie would
conclude that his character was such
that it could stand the attack, or he
would allow his feelings to master him
and demand of the attacking party sat
iafaction. Knowing that be had re-
course to this latter plan, opponents
would beware, and besides, people do
not usually vote for a man whose sole
claim la that be can be abusive. In
the matter of electing a United States
senator each candidate will have
to say plaicly what aspirant he favors,
and this is all the pledge "iie people will
require.
These are some of the rensons which
we have to support us in our dissent
from Mr. Pendleton'?* vj
Tub PltKWBKTlAttlES f-The report
which S<S|ieriiitendent Oofte last week
submitted to the goverimr touching
the working of the Deniteniiary at
Rusk, contains much matter that de-
mands the thoughtful consideration of
the entire people of the state, atd es-
pecially of those who have the author-
ity to legislate on thiscomplcx subject.
On the first day of March there were
2132 wearing the prison garb, but only
464 of this number were confined wi:h-
The attorney general deckles that the
students of the fam Houston Normal
Institute are not quali'ud voters in

line exhibition of cheek in some of the
students at the school to believe they
were entitled to shape municipal affairs
in Huntsville by their votes. We will
be charitable and suppose that the num-
ber wa3 exceedingly smail.

" heard of now. A paper of good stand-
wrong. A conv
consideration, but this he is not likely
to receive when engaged ou a Brazos
farm or on railway construction. At
the prison he is entitled to a hearing
before the superintendent and boatd of
directors, but away from the prison
and he is at the mercy of the guards.
Some of the guards are more brutal
than the men under their charge.
When the stocks—a contrivance by
which a man is gradually elevated by
his neck until his toes barely touch
the ground—were in use in the man-
agement of prisoners it was no uncom
mon thing to hear of a death as a re-
sult of a too free application of the
punishment. The superintendent sug-
gests that as many prisoners as practi
cable be confined within the walls.
This is a-wise suggestion, and public
sentiment should be so strong that the
legislature will not dare disregard it.
Major Goree says the receipts of the
last four months, compared with those
of the preceding year, show an inctease
of 151, and the same ratio of increase
until the close of the present year will
give the state 2512 convicts. The ad
vocates of the whipping post, though
few in numbers, certainly have
strong argument in this showing, and
already they are beginning to make
use of it.
Regarding a reformatory for youth
ful criminals, Major Goree has this to
say: "Your attention is again called
to the necessity that continues to exist
for the providing of an institution for
youthful offenders. Every year from
50 to 100 youths are received here who
should be inmates of a house of correc
tion or reformatory, rather than a pent
tentiary. If such a provision be not
made I would recommend that tliey be
separated from the old offenders and
worked under good men on healthy
upland farms." This is precisely what
the Journal has from time to time
urged. To deprive a youth of his lib-
erty is sufficient punishment, and he
should be placed where the surround
ings are all favorable to his reforma
tion. This cannot be done in the
midst of "old offenders."

The Texas state medical association
will assemble in its fourteenth annual
session, in the city of Fort Worth
Tuesday, April 25. The various rail
roads of the state will transport dele-
gates at reduced rates. Dr. Ashbel
Smith, the president, in his notification
of the meeting says that every avenue
of human industry, ingenuity and
thought, is being pressed forward
Texas today, with a rapidity of pro-
gress heretofore unsurpassed in the
history or a civilized pecple, and yet
this great Empire state of }he south is
at this good hour unprovided with a
wholesome law regulating the practice
of medicinc; neither bos she a state
board of health; nor has she any well-
regulated system of sanitary laws;
none providing for the registration of
births, marriages and deaths; none
looking to modern prison refouns;
nene providing for the habitual inebri-
ate; jio well-organized quarantine sys
tem, and no law that secures to the
medical expert compensation for ser-
vices, often demanded at eminent risk
of hie life, rendered, with great pecuni-
ary loss to himself, and oft times, it

ern times must be brought about by-
combined medical influence in the
state, and in their efforts the doctors
should receive the support of every
good citizen within the counties of our
immense and varied territory.
Has the millennium indeed arrived?
We propound this inquiry notwith-
standing Blanton Duncan's most em-
phatic declaration that the whole
world is again to be stirred up in sin
and strife. The Tyler Courier asks:
"Is there any serious objection to Ire-
land for governor?" Now the Tyler
Courier is published in the far east and
John Ireland lives in the far west, and
always heretofore there has been no
reconciliation between the two sections.
They have entered into battle at every
meeting, and several times a division of
the state has been threatened because
of their apparently irreconcilable differ-
ences. How, we ask in sSl serious-
ness, is the attitude of the Courier'to
be accounted for other than on the
hypothesis that the millennium has
actually put in an appearance?
Falls county, under the new appor-
tionment, will be entitled to one repre-
sentative in the legislature and have
1,240 population to spare over the reg-
ular basis, 15,000. This surplus will
have to be tacked on to some other
county and what is called, in politcal
parlance, a floating, formed. What
county or counties shall it be? FaHs,
McClennan and Limestone have not a
sufficient surplus for a floater,, neither
has the legislative district as it now
stands, and the probablity is that Falls1,
Bell, Robertson and Limestone will
have to compose the floating district—
Marl in Ball.

Jesse James, the most notorious des-
perado in the United States, was mur-
dered on Monday by two detectives who
were afraid to attempt to arrest him.
James was justly punished, for during
his lifetime he committed numerous
cold-blooded murders, but the officers
who were guilty of murdering him for
money should not only lose the rewards
but be punished severely. At the cor-
oner's inquest held over the remains
the evidence was conclusive that the
right man had been killed at last, and
the jury promptly returned a verdict of
murder in the first degree against
Fold.
Senator Ben Hill s condition is so

him was only the grave.
