CANVASSES WITHOUT ISSUES.
The more elections, the more changct
ot dynasty, the more rotations in office,
the more chance and instability in aii
grades aDd spheres of public service,
the better the situation is for the traders,
the adventurers, the speculators, the
Ramblers, tie bummers of largo and
small degree in politics. But how is ii
for the body of citizens who are only in
terested In securing established efficiency
in all branches of public service? A i
this moment in Texas the average citizen
may well stand dismayed and bewil
dered at the multiplicity of elections
which present no issues of public policy,
nnd in which certain incumbents are to
bo, discharged from their posts on no
formulated charges of incompetency or
dereliction, while certain persons are to
be appointed to succeed them for no
other unquestionable reason than an ar-
dent desire for the places. Under such
circumstances canvasses for various
elective positions naturally turn
upon personal considerations, fail to
evoke among the mass of voters a
wholesome public spirit, and leave the
•ctive supporters of the different candi-
dates unimpressed with any sense of
civic responsibility. It is a tremendous
mistake to suppose that multiplying
elections, which become a burden and
confusion to electors, can dignify the
elective franchise, put into livelier
action the principlo of a true and effi-
cient representation in public affairs, or
bring us newer to the ideal of demo-
cratic government—a government of file
people, by the people, and for the
people. The people have an interest in
deciding frequently, or at least as often
f.e new public exigencies arise, upon
issues of public policy; and, to be true
to themselves, they must exercise the
utmost care and the highest intelligence
ir tUo purpose of choosing capable and
faitMul men to carry out their wishes
with reference to such issues. But, as
regards most of the administrative of-
fices—officas for which we see a wide-
•pnuvt. bewildering scramble in can-
vasses with no pretense to issues of pub-
lic policy—it is a matter of perfect in-
difference to the great majority of the
people who occupies them, so long as
they are faithfully and efficiently ad-
ministered. When they are contended
for and disposed of, vacated and re-
filled, in elections decided by other con-
siderations than this, they degenerate
into mere prizes in a system of spoils
polities, the essential tendency of which,
as all experience has shown, is to de-
£ rude, the standard of incumbency, or-
i;aoii54f inefficiency, incite corruption in
i.iUce, and eventually sap the moral
foundations of the republic.
obtained the coveted boon nothing more
would be wanting to render Gotham
supremely happy. But cities and cor-
porations do not, after all, differ greatly
from individuals. It seems the metrop
olis is not yet content, and is far from
treing delighted With the workings of
i lie elevated railway. All summer there
have been mutterings because of the
noise of the rapid transit route, from
residents along its line. And now they
•ire complaining of the " railroads on
stilts " as unsafe and a menace to those
passing beneath them. The Sun of a
late date alludes to the threatened dan-
ger as follows:
It is only a little morejthan a week since
trains began running over the east side
elevated railway, yet in this brief time we
have had to record three narrow escapes
from falling clamps and iron nuts. For-
tunately no one has been killed as yet; but
it is a thing not to be tolerated that men,
women, and children in such crowded
thoroughfares as the Bowery and Third
avenue should be exposed to this added
danger. Besides, if the clam pi were need-
ed in the first place, their dropping off is a
phenomenon not conducive to the peace of
mind or safety of body of the passengers.
The public has the right to expect anil de-
mand that these railroads on stilts shad be
as safe as money, skill, and untiring vigi-
lance can niaka'them.
HON. 91. II. BONNEB.
The News hs» already given the
nominees for the supreme bench a brief
introduction to the public, but as we
have been placed in possession of a bio-
graphical sketch of Judge Bonner, who
was not so widely known as Mr. Justice
Moore, we deem it of interest to recur
to the subject as to the former. Hon.
M. H. Bonner, nominee for associate
justice, is about 50 years of age. He
came to Texas in 1849, and commenced
tie practice of law at Marshall. Shortly
afterwards ha removed to Rusk, Chero-
kee oounty. His life has been devoted
to the study and practice of law, and
in eastern Texas, where he has so long
resided, he is not only very popular
with the bar aad people, but he is re-
garded as o»o of the ablest lawyers in
g-e state. He has always been a Demo-
crat, and has never sought any political
position. In 1872 he became a citizen
of Tyler, Texas, and in 1874 was ap-
pointed judge of the district court by
Gov. Coke. He was elected to the same
position in 1876, and is now the judge
of that district, and has the confidence,
respect and esteem of the bar and peo-
ple of his district Judge Bonner is a
native of Alabama. He is a gentleman
of unblemished moral character. As a
lawyer, he has always been studious and
devoted to the profession. He has
grown up with our judiciary system,
and is, perhaps, one of the most
thorough and systematic lawyers under
it. It is confidently believed that his
nomination will reflect credit upon the
committee, and that as a supreme judge
he will discharge the onerous duties of
the position faithfully, conscientiously,
and with eminent ability.
SOSE OF JIDGE BONNER'S
VIEWS.
The nomination of Hon. M. H. Bon-
ner for the position of associate justice
of the supreme court may add some im-
portance to the suggestions made by
that gentleman during the past summer,
ii rough the Texas Law Journal, under
it head of " Some Needed Reforms in
>:r Judicial System." The Nsws ha«
s retofore alluded to some of the lead
■g suggestions in the series, but a re
trrence to them may be of interest ai
esent. Among other opinions as to
* dod reforms, Judge Bonner thinks
. <t " so much of the act of trespass to
titie as provides tfc.U U»3 defendant
11 not be reauired to put in any other j
i ttan that of not guilty, is contrary
gutter 1 policy, if not impliedly ro-
•iljed." Tliir. touch&s apparently on a
.uestion which once created a good deal
c.i •vrRrigling in the legislature, when
v.i attempt was made to throw the whole
ntis of proof on the defendant in such
cases. Another reform suggested by Judge
Houner is "to have an appearance term
■ >f our district courts, for the purpose of
ietermining the issues of law, at which
neither jurors nor witnesses are required
•:o be in attendance, and no judgments
to be rendered except those taken by de-
fault or consent." A more important
suggestion is, perhaps, that which re-
fere to tie substitution, in civil cases, of
written for oral testimony. He refers to
the fact that, " under existing laws the
depositions of witnesses generally, resi-
dent within the county, to a single point
even, can not be taken unless by con-
sent of the parties,'" and thon proceeds:
The depoeitions of females, of aged, sick
and afflicted persons, and those who aro
non-residents of the state or oounty, cap
be taken, and have usually proved satis-
factory, so far as ray experience and ob-
servation have extended. As an illustra-
tion, if proper and practicable to take the
deposition of a witness who resides with-
out the county, why is it not equally
proper and practicable to take the deposi-
tion of a witness who resides within the
county, perhaps near the county line and
within a short distance of a neighbor
whose deposition is on file t
With regard to the objection that " in
some instances it would be more satis-
factory that the witness should be per-
sonally on the stand and subjected to
examination in the presence of the court
and jury," Judge Bonner says:
This could be obviated to some extent
by requiring the witnesses to attend at
some suitable place, as a general rule the
court-house, for the purpose of having the
deposition taken, and giving both parties,
in person or by attorney, the privilege of
being present and propounding, either in
writing or orally, any pertinent questions
tiUay may desire; * • * No system
•which we can devise son be perfect, but it
believed that the advantages of the plan
suggested, of taking depositions of wit,
ceases generally tu civil cases, under
proper safeguards, even with the objec-
tions to it, will so far outweigh the disad-
vantage* <k the old system as to recom-
mend Ft to the very favorable consideration
3 if the profession.
This is an old question, or rather, per-
' haps, along settled one under the English
} ommon law practice. Sir Matthew Hale,
his History of the Common Law,
ars testimony to " the excellency of
e open course of testimony to the jury,
i the presence of the judge, jury, par-
es and counsel, and even of the ad-
rse witnesses.'' He says that wit

Anything to Meat Butler.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes as follows con-
cerning the efforts the Massachusetts
Republicans and hard-money men will
make to defeat General Butler for gov-
ernor:
A gentleman who holds a high official
position ia Washington, himself a resident
of New England, who has just returned
from a month's visit to New Hampshire,
Maine and Massachusetts, says the Green-
back mov ment in New England surprises
him in it ex -ent. In Massachusetts he found
the exeittttuent raised by Gen. Butler was
very great, and says it has had the effect
t.) frighten the aristocratic and moneyed
\>ortion of tie people, who, for the first
vimo in many years, will take an active in-
terest in the campaign. They are deter-
mined that Butler snail never be elected
governor of Massachtpette, and no legiti-
mate means will be bft untriid to ac(om-
Diish this msoh^ioa. They «4U raise large
s i: us of money for printing fbr speakers,
. r processions, music and other purposes.
They are so much frightened at Butler's
progress that they are satisfied he can not
fl at, knowing
• •ars he can never recover if he loses this
battle. A very heated campaign is conse-
quently expected. The Republican con-
vention assembles at "Worcester Sept. 17,
and T si bolt's nomination Is regarded as
certain.
The quarantine regulations of Mar-
shall, excluding freight from beyond
the limits of the state unless an affidavit
accompany the way-bill that it has not
been in any infected district since July
30, expressly apply to goods shipped
from Houston and Galveston, produce
and manufactures of this state excepted,
provided that the restriction shall not
apply to goods in transitu prior to
September 10.
The Chicago Trimne is of the opinion
that the young gentlemen who gradu-
ated laat June and July, and who
have been seeking places as "journal-
ists " ever since, can find numerous va-
cancies, in all branches of the profession,
in Memphis, Vicksburg, New Orleans,
Grenada, and other large cities and
towns at the south.

Judge Hancock at Home — Ulyate-

Odd Fellows in Session Arrange
for a New Temple.
[Special Telegram to the News.]
Austix, Sept. 13.—Judge Hancock re-
turned from tho northwestern counties of
the district to-day, where he has made nu-
merous speeches. His impression is that
the Democrats who have been acting with
the new party are rapidly returning to first
principles.
The two most interesting questions with
Democrats and Republicans are what ex-
Go v. Davis is doing, and what he intends
to do i Some think he is trying to organ-
ize his party solidly for Jones; others think
he dont intend to let Ruusel gat control of
the party and Uia patronage in Texas, -Vad
is preparing to run for congress himself,
anrl will organize the party and take it out
of its Greenback complication. As he is a
determined man and expressed his un-
doubted sentiments when he said tho al-
liance of the two parties was necessary to
defeat the Democracy, and pledged
the new party his support, his re-
cent conversation and consultation with
Republicans in different parts of the dis-
trict evidently point to a stroug move
towards whipping in the rank and file for
Jones and Hamman. Those here who know
him best say he never turns back, and aro
confident lie is ou that business.
A telegram from Drs. Swenringer and
Manning, at Holly Springs, reports a

DALLAS.
Total Fever Contribution, $-1806 60.
—The Cotton market—Democratic
Speaking—Two Attempted Crimes.
[Special Telegram to the News.]
Dallas, Sept. 13.—The total amount
sent in aid of yellow fever sufferers to date
foots up J4,750 90. Of this $2,'^50 90 was
sent to the Howards at New Orleans and
Memphis for distribution among the in-
fected towns in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Tennessee. Amount independent of the
above subject to the Memphis Howards,
$55 70. Total contribution, $4,806 GO.
Considerable falling off in the cotton
supply occurred to-day. Buyers are feel-.
ing easier, though there is great stringency
in money. Receipts unprecenentedly high
—930 bales for the week, against 147 bales
for the same period last year. The boll
worm is doing some damage in the vicinity
of the city. General reports show that
more cotton will be made in counties tribu-
tary to Dallas than can be picked with the
present labor supply.
A Democratic rally is being held at
Union depot to-night. Much enthusiasm is
manifested. Judge O. M. Roberts, Hon.
D. R. Culberson, Hon. J. H Reagan, Hon.
J. W. Throckmorton and Senator Coko
spoke. Gov. Lubbock and Silas Hare speak
here to-morrow.

September returns to the department of
agriculture show the condition of tho cot-

The decline in condition is not greater

vitality to meet the vicissitudes of autumn.
It promise is better than its predecessor,
and its acreage has been considerably in-
creased. If the remaining part of the
season of growth, and the picking sees
should be as favorable as last year, there
will be a considerable increase in the yield,
which will equal, if not excel that of the
great ante bellum crop. In some comities

He Addresses the Chicago Chamber
of Commerce.
Chicago, Sept. 13.—The president ar-
rived from Lake Forost this a. M. He was
met by a committee from the board of
trade and escorted to the chamber of com-
merce, where he was enthusiastically wel-
comed. He said be should speak to this
large body of business men ot Uie United
States who represented one of tho greatest
interests on the continent only on one point,
the financial question. He proceeded to
point out the dangors of legislative med-
dling with the money of the country. Now
that we aro on baasis of honest money, the
only danger is that our congress will dis-
turb values, shake tho confidence of tho
people in the stability of the currency, and
delay the already dawning era of prosper-
ity. Confidence was half the battle in busi-
ness and finances. He belioved Secretary
Sherman had dealt fairly, hoiwjutly and
openly with the business of the country,
and, however the question of resumption
might have beea discussed, and, however
we may have differed as to its expediency
it is now a thing of tho past and we aro
benefitted by its final disposition.

A' New Style of Very Economical
Cook Stove a* the Paris Kit hi b-
itlon.
[From the Colonies and India.]
A very old friend in a new dress ap-
peared at the Paris exposition in tbe form
of an apparatus for cooking, in which
neither gaa, coal, wood nor other fuel, and
not ev-->n electricity, is employed for the
purpose. Tho only agency used is the heat
of tlie sun, the solar ravB being concen-
trated by means of condensers, and re-
flected by means of radiators until suf J-
cient heat is engendered to boil an egg, and
even to cook r. Tinall loaf or piece of meat.
The idea of thns ur!lij±ng the solar rava is
as old as the mm itself, but it has not hith-
erto been brought to such practical perfec-
tion as to place this sort of heat within
reach of the public at large.
Whether the story of the destru.-tion by
Archimedes of tho Roman fleet anchoreel
in the harbor of Syracuse by means of the
heat reflected from a number of mirrsrs be
trod or felae, the very fact of tho story- hav-
ing be«n e!rculai^d is proof of the existence
of s desire to mako use of such method fo-
cusing tbe heat of the sun's rays on any par-
ticular object. Only a fow weeks ago th->
proposal was revived by a Frenchman, who
offered his government a plan for destroy-
ing an enemy's fleet by rnnans of burning
mirrors at a distance of a niilo. These are
instances of the destructive efforts of man s
genius. Less ambitious, but more useful,
have been the attempts of Prof. Ericsson
to drive a steam engine by vapor produced
entirely bv the concentration of the sun's
rays on a boiler of water; and now there
is exposed to view at the Paris exhibition
an apparatus for cooking by the same
agency.
Experiments on a small s"ale have been
made with perfect success, but the dura-
tion of surishine even in la belle France is
so uncertain as to prevent the^ hopee of
any practical benefit beinff derived from
the clever invention. In England, where
a week of unclouded sunshine is an un-
heard of phenomenon, the apparatus
would still be more useless. But in tropi-
cal England, in those portions of tne Bri-
tish empire which lie under the equator,
in the West Indies, in Fiji, in India, in
parts of Australia, and in Africa the in-
tense heat of the sun's perpendicular rays
might be turned to practical account as a
substitute l"or the undesirable conrimption
of ftiel, adding its heat and smoke to the
overladen atmosphere.
A KOMAXCE OF THE BORDER.
An Elderly Connecticut I.ady Cap'
tures a Young Stoux.
[From the Winona (Wis.) Republican.!
There pas^d down on the train the other
dav an aged but smart-looking lady, be-
tween 60 and 70 years of age, having with
her a little c'.'ld about two years old,
whose dark complexion unmistakable ba-
tokened Indian origin, and naturally exci-
ted some curiosity, iae lady was commu-
nicative and told a story filled with
romance. She was a widow, with an only
son living in Connecticut. Her bov grew
to be a ye>ung man, and, filled with a lore
of advanture, be forsook the parental roof
and came west His rovings at last led
him to Bismarck, Dakota territory, where
ho became interested with Indian trader^
finally married the dacghter of a chief,
the fruit of the union being one child. At
length, in an engagement with the hostile®,
the young man was killed. The sad sen-s,
in due time, reached his mother. She wa6
almost disconsolate in her grief. With
true maternal affection, she at once re-
solved to soarch Tor her son's child, and, if
possible, find in it an object upon which
she might bestow her care and motherly
1 jve.
Forthwith sba journeyed to Minnesota.
Tiie difficulties in the way formed no
barrier to her New England energy.
Her diligent inquiries along the
Northern Pacific railroad brought to
her acquaintance a man who had
known hor son. For $50 he offered to And
the squaw who had been the son's wife.
Without £oing into details of the search, it
is sufficient to say that the tribe of Indians
was found and with it the squaw and the
child. When th« In/iy firsf. tjx# her grand-
child she thought ' he could discern in his
features >t resemblance to her son, but when
the little one was in the midst of a number
of Indian children, it was hard to discover
much difference. Nevertheless, the grand-
mother of the dusky little half-breed was
bent on having him brought up under the
gentle influences of Connecticut civilijia-
tion, end she quieted her companctions of
bs ci ing in human flesh by the exigencies
of the case and the sp ft of six sacks of flour
to the bereaved Indian widow.
The old lady departed with her new-
found treasure, as nappy as a boy with a
new toy. She fondled tie little Sioux with
indescribable affection, and the little chap
responded by making his doting grandma
buy him all the peaclies and pears that thq
train boy offered. The picture of youth
and old 'age seldom has more romance
done up in a couple than was here present
ed. It will net be surprising one of these
days to hear of that cultivated little sav-
age palling with the Harvard crew.
A Strange tlountein Lakr,
A Reno (Nevada) correspondent of tho
Kan Francisco Bulletin thus describes the
singular water callod Pyramid lake, a lake
amongst pyramid-shaped rocks, one of
which was "the real or pretended scene of
Fremont's great achievement in planting
a flaj; on the top of it—a thing which was
flshen up, cooked up and made to appear
as the mighty deed of a hero, after Fre-
mont had been nominate s for president in
1853:
Pyramid lake is the most singular and
beautiful sheet I ever saw, and I believe it
surpasses everything on the face of the
earth for picturesque grandeur. It ia
within thirty miles of this place, and fif»
teen from Wadsworth, as the crow files,
and yet is almost unheard of by strangers,
and is seen only by a few fishermen and
miners. It has an area of forty by fifteen
miles, and, if depth is considered, it far
exceeds Tulare m bulk, and takes rank
next to Great Salt lake in Utah as the
largest body of water west of Lake Supe-
rior. It is trapezoid in shape, with very
sharp corners. The longert side lies north-
east, in a southeast and northwest direc-
tion. Its elevation is 4000 feet; and though
the thermometer is often very low, its
water never freezes. Like Tahoe, its sis-
ter, at the other end of the
Truckee riven it is of enormous
depth—how deep no man knowns.
Lines hay a been dropped 1600 feet which
failed to touch bottotn. There is no ouV
let, and all the water which flows in from
tbe river is no doubt absorbed by the dry
air. The known rate of evaporation abun-
dantly accounts for the loss, without the
necessity of a subterranean river, as was
the old belief. The name comes from pyra-
mids of rocks4which dpt the lake at inter-
vals. formed of marl or, limestone cement,
which has been worn by ths lashing of the
wavts, the winter storms and Slimmer
into funciful shapes The largest is
under SOO feet in height, and is known
as " Freemmt's pyramid." it rises
from the water as light and grace-
ful as a summer noose, ana Is
of a shape frequently used in tiri style of
building—or like an elongated, Prusssian
helmet, tii« spike very perfect. At its
base, about. 15 feet ucrfer water, a very
hot spring boils out. A legend says that
"Governor" Fremont-found a path to the
top ot this rock, leaving there his fleid-
glasees and some, other traps, in order to
descend more safely from his dangerous
post of observation. All attempts to scale
its smooth sides have, since that tirne, been
failures. Th? was by a sailor, who
nearly lost h^i life in tlie adventure. Most
of these account" must be yams, as it ia
very easiiv ascended on tto© east side,
where its base has not been hollowed out
much by- the waves.
Near'by is Goat island 600 feet high,
containing l-W of surface, not land I,* is
all rock. There is not vegetation enough
to change tho musty grav peculiar to the
whole north shore and ifs islands to a bit
of creen. About 70 or 80 goats roam at
will, and afford shotting for whoever c."m-
siders the game worth tne [xiwder. They
like on a filaree, which is getting p!enti£;il,
and a bunch Krasr which grows ra crevlecs,
and are as (m at; if stall-fed. The whole
is alive with rattJ snakes—a man can kill
a dozen in an hour's walk. A gentleman,
who is the '' oldest inhabitant." told us that
he had seen d&0 tecs of duck, geese *r*«
pelicans' eggs, and showed us where he L*w
