Quitman Happenings.
Look out for small-pox, Houston,
Liberty, Galveston, Austin, and
other phi cor have recently had
cases of it and it is likely to break
out at any time or place.
Legislator Claiborne thinks the
railroads have subsidized a part of
the Texas press. Sorry we can't
return the compliment, but it really
appears that nobody eared enough
for the gentleman's services to
subsidize him.—Democrat and Re-
porter.
Marion Martin wants to supplant
Lang as consul to some big port in
England. Is that all you bargained
for, you old horse-racer and prohi-
bitionist? Ask for more and take
less, and thus preserve the pro-
prieties.—Denton Times.
The New York Herald evidently
begins to see that the Republicans
regard this as a White Man's gov-
ernment. That alert journal says:
"Mr. Blaine told the Tennessee
Republicans that the condition of
things in Hayti demanded the
services of a white man and a
lawyer. Somehow the conditions
arc always making that demand."
—Gazette.
The Germans are mad because
of Admiral Porter's boast that he
could whip tho boots oil' Germany.
It might be well for the naval
department to pour some ice water
over the admiral's head. Even
though he be right, it is not always
that the man who succeeds in pull-
ing oil' enemy's boots is satisfied
with the result.—Gazette.
A Wise Veto.
In our last issue we mentioned
the fact that bills had passed the
legislature creating a new judicial
district out of Rusk, Gregg and Up-
slier counties and changing the
times of holding court in this, the
7th district. This general change
was a complete surprise to Wood
county, and seems to have been so
to some of the other counties in-
terested. As soon as it was gener-
ally known, a vigorous protest
went up from Wood and other
counties to Gov. Ross, who vetoed
tho bills for the very wise reason
that there was no necessity for the
multiplication of ofiicers and gov-
ernment employes. This veto
leaves our judicial district as it has
been for a number of years, and
the times of holding court will not
be disturbed.

The Courier-Journal says of ex-
Gov. R. B. Hubbard and his suc-
cessor:
John F. Swift, of California, who
was also another Cabinet applicant,
and at one time very nearly a
possibility, will succeed, as Minis-
ter to Japan, ex-Gov. Hubbard, of
Texas. Hubbard will be remem
bered as the man who made for
himself a national reputation in his
speech at the Cincinnati convention
in 1880, in seconding the nomina-
tion of Gen. Hancock. There are
few better orators than Hubbard.
Minister Hubbard's resignation
was also upon the President's desk
when he entered tho White House
after his march through the rain
from the Capitol on the day of his
inauguration. Mr. Swift is about
sixty years old. He was born at
Bowling Green, Kentucky, on
February 28, 1820. His father,
Judge Nathan Swift, removed to
Exeter, Illinois, when the boy was
very young. Most of Mr. Swift's

amount to $40,000 .alone. To this
must be added all of the expekses
of travelling from place to dace

tem is economical, has been Veil
managed, and has kept our State
free lrom epidemics. We trust
the project will not succeed,and
we hope our immediate repraen-
tatives will oppose the bill.

The county convict farm is on a

crop of about 45 acies and the rib-
bon cane crop of about 2 1-2 acres

are ten convicts on the farm and
five paupers, four white and one
