'I21ANS1TION /.V NATIONAL POLI-
TICS.
The exact relation of President Cleve-
land to politics can not well be defined
■without discovering and comprehending
the perlnnctory character of party organi-
zation without soul for most measures of
present utility in the general welfaro.
There is some truth, but also some obscuri-
ty, in the opinion of the Brooklyn U.igle,
expressed as follows:
This is n transition era In politics. It Is not
exactly clear what the character and proper-
tioiiH of the change will be. but it is ve-y clear
tliat the present occupant ot the White Imme
is regarded by the masses ot the people in a
man who may be safely trusted to conduct
the transition.
It is a transition era in some different re-
spects. Distrust of the Democrat!; party
as to loyalty to the Union has disappeared
fast from Republican minds. This is transi-
tion from bloody-shirtism, which used to
be a great factor in national elections. The
tariff monopolists have concurrently
learned not to dread the Democratic
statesmen so much. The national bankers
have learned not to fear greenback pro-
clivities in Democratic statesmanship. In-
deed many special interests and their re-
presentatives stand about alike toward
both parties. The transition among
the people reaches only the phase
of distaste for meaningless profes-
sions, and expectancy of a breaking up.
On the part of the privileged classes it
reaches the point of hoping to control
things through either party. On the one
side there is regard for civil-service reform
to clear the atmosphere of such intense
spoils politics and passions of masses of
partisans in quest of office as have excluded
all questions of legislative and administra-
tive policy from candid consideration. On
the side of legalized plunder there is in-
dulgence for the same reform with the far
different hope that an honest and respecta-
ble stewardship of robbery will prolong
the robbery itself: that the people will bat-
tle at elections for some terms of office for
faithful administration in detail of
policies rapacious in essence. Under
these circumstances there is no
conducting the transition. A leader must
kiow his aim. President Cleveland is not
distinctly heading a movement toward any
new and popular policy. The transition
has not reached the point of developing a
new departure. The president is more in
the position of a receiver of affairs pending
the insolvency of distinctive party man-
agement. He conducts administration
in a comparatively non-political spirit; but
the transition in politics must effect itself.
The Democratic party has its essential
unity in conservatism upon the basis of
the constitution, and this alone has pre-
vented it from going to pieces
despite its self-torturing dealings and
internal struggles upon questions of
policy. But its wisest men must
perceive that the fraud of ostensibly rais-
ing revenue but really preventing and ex-
cluding trade, is the most dangerous
blow that could be struck at the constitu-
tion. That course encourages making the
constitution a byword; and builds up in an
unjust manner the lobby, the parvenue
aristocracy and the anti-democratic influ-
ences which conspire to so change Ameri-
can society and politics that the constitu-
tion would not fit the actuality of things if
this course be persisted in, and that discon-
tent would lead to disastrous reactions.
The transition might now be truly Demo-
cratic, but where is the leader? Mr. Cleve-
land is a respectable, even an admirable
administrative officer, but the political
transition has not taken definite form.
It is a drift. There is no leader, only
a conservator, in sight; but a conservator
who in conserving the good principles of
the constitution is daily enforcing, as his
official duty commands, the oppressive fis-
cal system which is sapping the foundation
of liberty and equality. To be the active
leader in a wholesome transition, Mr. Cleve-
land would have had to have a free-trade
policy, not necessary to be promoted by
conferring offices upon free-traders, but to
te promoted by urging upon Congress the
reform, and by so impressing the Demo-
cratic party that it would have taken no
Kncei-tain stand, but would have been now
ready to meet its opponents upon the issue,
which must come.
THE " BIG FOUR "AT THE LITTLE
END OF TIIE HO 11N.
Hoes, Swain, Brackenridge and Martin
seem to have made altogether very little
irepression upon the public. As candidates
for governor they have only developed the
fact that the people want some other man.
If it could be ascertained how the sovereign
people stand on this question, there is little
doubt that the verdict would condemn the
"big four." Of the votes of the counties
that have beenheard from only one of these
candidates can be sure of as many as two
dozen votes. Boss and Brackenridge each
may claim about one-ninth of the whole
vote, Swain one-twentieth, and Martin one-
ttirty-fifth of it. This looks very much like
a two-thirds vote for Giddings or some
other popular leader after the first ballot.
■Whoever that may be, he will owe
his nomination to the aroused and
awakened Democracy disgusted with the
rule of small politicians, and with the
clamor of the machine regulars in their
wild chase for office. If the great old coun-
ty of Washington is unable to supply the
man the people want in the office of gov-
tixor it is not because that county is in
southern Texas, for if Giddings is not the
statesman desired, a representative Wash-
ington county man recently moved from
Calveston to Dallas would fill the bill
«nd would poll as many Democratic votes
as any other candidate for the office ever
did in Texas. What the people want is not
a northern Texas or a southern Texas
plant. They want a real, alive, firm Demo-
cratic statesman to vindicate states rights
by asserting state power. They are not go
3ng to be confused by the din of the strife
between the followers of the " big four," as
is clearly shown by their refusal all over
the State to instruct. They want Texas
governed, Texas properly protected
Texas interests defended, and Texas laws
enforced by the authority of Texas
r.nd not by United States courts invited to
si-sr.me control of state affairs by a supine
state government. There are attributes
in the character of Clint. Giddings, recog-
nized better, perhaps, some years ago,
when he made his gallant fight to procure
a Texas representative in Congress against
Clark the carpet-bagger, which promise
Texas people in him a governor who would
unflinchingly protect the rights of property
and the rights and liberty of the citizen,
figainst tie layi'less—whether of the organ-
ized commune controlling local authority,
or flie monopoly cormorant defying all
local authority, and hitherto controlling
state authority. All the " big four " to-
gether have not been able to satisfy one-
third of the Democrats of the coun-
ties who have met in convention
Hint they were the men for the office.
Instead of the dark horse as formerly hav-
ing great difficulty in controlling a third of
the convention, the "big four" will have
great difficulty in preventing the nomina-
tion of Giddings or a dark horse on a two-
thirds vote on the very first ballot. There
has been too much bluster, too much bra-
vado, too much dirt-slinging to give the
people a favorable impression of those can-
didates who claim the earth. The " big
four " may as well stand aside unless they
combine and can control a third of the con-
vention.
It is reported that Gladstone, who has
been elected both in Edinburgh and Berth,
is going to surrender the seat in Leith and
urge the election of Sir Charles Dilke in
his place. It is also stated that Goschen,
who was defeated in Edinburgh, will con-
test Leith in the Union interest against
Dilke. The contest will be a pretty one.
Dilke is under a social cloud, but the in-
dorsement of the grand old man ought to
be a certificate of political character at
least. Dilke is an able man, and in cham-
pioning him, Gladstone shows thai he is a
shrewd, practical politician. Dilke is al-
most as influential with the Radicals as
Chamberlain, and with Dilke in the House
as a Gladstone supporter, the Radical
forces would not be solid for the Birming-
ham caucus boss.
CHAi-MKns is again announced in the Se-
cond Mississippi district. Since he was so
easily done for it is not clear what he wants
to run for, if not for a contest. There is
some money even in a contest. Congress
is liberal with taxpayers' money.
It is a shrewd move, if not a remarkably
honest one, to get up an organization and
call it the Bimetallic league, its sole imme-
diate object being the stoppage of silver
coinage. The men who engineer this move-
ment are national bankers interested in
producing a scarcity of money so that the
people may the more readily consent to
some scheme by which the national banks,
and they alone, would be allowed to issue
notes upon a less perfect security and in
larger quantity than at present.
Fttz J. P.'s colonelcy means fits for
Logan.
One of Mr. Randall's Republican friends
notes the contrast between the courtesy of
Gladstone and Bright in their difference of
opinion and the bitterness of Messrs. Ran-
dall and Morrison. This he states in ex-
treme terms, and favors Randall. How-
ever, if the Republican observer will turn
to the origin of the respective differences
he will find something to reflect upon in the
way that Mr. Randall hangs on to a party
while reducing to a mockery its public
professions. What is there in Morrison,
Gladstone or Bright to match this course!'
The Hartford (Conn.) Times says:
Should the president fill Mr. Manning's plaie
in October, we think the country would bo
gratified should lie solect ex-Senator Allan G.
Thurman, of Ohio. Jle Is a statesman, and his
ability can not be questioned. He stands
among " the first."
Texas will heartily second the motion.
tneke is a "life" of Governor Ireland
now being circulated as a supplement to his
faithful organs. The " life " is supposed
to be the literary handiwork of the gover-
nor himself. It makes the governor out to
be a greater man than Moses, Gladstone,
Bismarck, Jefferson or Cleveland. It is a
very interesting work.
If Hewitt can fill the place of Cox at Con-
stantinople, Cox can well fill any vacant
place in Congress.
While the jury was being secured in the
case of the widow Landgraf against some
Bohemian bakers, at New York, for perse-
cution, one of those called said he was pre-
judiced on account of an article in the
Vollsszeitung declaring a perpetual boycot
against everybody concerned in the recent
convictions of boycotters. Judge Barrett
said that the article in question was such
as to interfere with the administration of
justice, and ordered the district attorney to
at once proceed against the paper. After-
ward the district attorney said that the edi-
tor of the Volkszeitung would be prose-
cuted for criminal libel.
Lawyer G. B. Corkhill, who prosecuted
the assassin of President Garfield, is deal.
The event furnishes a good opportunity for
the sensational space writer to pack off
upon society a story of mystery which can
neyer be revealed—au alleged conspiracy
in which Guiteau was only the tool.
Certain distempered labor leaders in
New York insist upon putting their own
construction upon the law and its bearing
upon boycotting. How much encourage-
ment have these men derived from the ex-
ample of politicians of higher degree who
have always been prepared to dispute and
inveigh against decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and take a con-
tract to prove the absurdity and perversity
i of the court's understanding of the constitu-
I tion?
' If there were no Waco Examiner, General
Ross might have stood a fair chance of
being the next governor of Texas. But an
unmuzzled Examiner was too much for the
"little cavalryman."
The Vienna Neue Freie Presse tells a
story that it thinks affords an explanation
of the death of the late King of Bavaria. A
few weeks before the king's death, Julius
Crosse, the German author, sent his majes-
ty a novel he had published, in which the
life of the Austrian historian, Count Jo-
hann Majlath, was described. That nobla-
nian ended his existence by throwing him-
self, with his daughter, into lake Staren-
beig at almost the identical spot where the
bedy of King Louis was found.
Minnesota prohibitionists met in State
convention with a larger attendance than
ever before, and nominated a full ticket.
The Courier-Journal raises the question
whether the Democratic party wishes to re-
form the tariff. Probably few Democrats
doubt that such is the wish of most members
of the party. The proverb, however, does
not say that where there's a wish there's a
way, but where there's a will, etc.
The Picayune is of opinion that" a man
who has LL. D. added to his name by a
cheap college has extra labor added to him-
self and his friends in writing it out on all
occasions. Such titles add nothing to a
man's brain, though they may add some-
thing to the gratification of his vanity, and
when he writes them out himself he shows
that he accepts the situation. It is proper
for a physician to write M. D. after his
name on a hotel register, because he might
be[called in the night and get a stray job;
but nothing could happen in the night that
would call for the services of an LL. D. as
such." It is not necessary for him to write
the degree. One who will do so on every
occa- ion deserves to have the letters abbre-
viated to silly fellow.
The greater the arbitrary discrimination
the nearer the cure while free competition
is not impeded by law. Paternalism to take
care of existing interests would stop rail-
road building, where free commerce would
increase production and increased com-
peting transportation facilities. Accord-
ing to the Philadelphia Record, pig-iron
men in Center county, Pennsylvania,
" have declared that pig iron could be made
there for $9 60 per ton." That paper adds:
" Heretofore they have been handicapped
by the restrictive policy of the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad company, which charged $3 00
for carrying a ton of iron from Center
county to Now York, while at the same time
it was carrying iron from Richmond, Va.,
to New York for only 80 cents per ton. In
the face of these discriminations no capi-
talists could be found who were willing to
put their money into iron ventures in that
locality; but since aline has been surveyed
from the Beach Creek road to Bellefonte,
the possibility of obtaining competitive
rates drew the attention of capitalists to
that territory with the result indioated.
There is no reason why Center county can
not successfully compete with the South in
the production of cheap pig iron. A famous
English ironmaster who visited Bellefonte
a few years ago, declared, after inspecting
the ore banks near that town, that pig iron
could be made in Center county as cheaply
as in the Cleveland district of England."
Note the fact that the unprotected monopo-
ly is temporary. But if government had
taken charge of the Pennsylvania railroad,
the Beach Creek road might never have
been heard of, or the Pennsylvania rail-
road men would probably have had influ-
ence enough to prevent its construction.
Sam Cox will be a candidate for member-
ship in the next Congress, and every hon-
est Democrat in the United States would
vote for him if such a thing were possible.

Prohauly President Cleveland by his

ficit.
Telephone business came to a stop at
Evansville, Ind., the other day. The com-
pany had had time given it to restore its
complete service; finally neglecting to do

council, cut the wires. A new company is
in the field.
THE STATE PRESS.
What the Newspapers Throughout Texas Are
Talking About.
A new paper, called the South Alvarado
Signal, made its appearance on the 3d of
July.
No Free Trade in Ours is the caption of a
leader in the San Antonio Light, Republi-
can. The Republicans seem to like nothing
tree but the darkies.
The Light focuses its rays as follows:
Judging from the criticisms made upon
Judge Hancock's late Dallas speech, one
infers that while all oppressions and exac-
tions and injustice are to be denounced, the
instruments of such exactions and oppres-
sions and injustice are not to be referred
to, as it might create hard feeling.
That is to say, one infers from the criti-
cisms, not the speech, though the latter is
probably intended. As a general thing at-
tempts to create dissatisfaction and hatred
between classes without attempts to remove
the evils portrayed, do more harm than
good. The evidences of class divisions and
prejudices are already unpleasant, and at-
tempts to perpetuate them, rather than re-
move the causes, would hardly look like
wise statesmanship. Equal and exact jus-
tice to all is a Democratic dogma.
Borne Austin papers are highly offended
at Judge Terrell's retort on their methods
in attacking him. He named no names, but
seemed to hit those aimed at. The papers
seem never to have been so given to the
personal abuse of candidates of their own
party as during ihe present canvass. Ques-
tions of state and national policy seem to
be ignored, while epithets and vituperation
abound. Many of the best men in the State
have been named as actual or probable can.
didates, but no sooner is one suggested
than he becomes a target for the mud and
spit balls of the press. Little interest is
manifested in the policy or welfare of the
Slate and nation, but great solicitude is
shown for the elevation of individuals for
their own sake and that of their active sup-
porters.
The Jasper Newsboy says:
We have been blessed with more favor-
able seasons for successful crops than have
been known for many years. The acreage
in cotton is unusually large, and the crop is
excellent, with no news of worms, grass-
hoppers or other pests in the land. The
corn plant is fully as great as that of recent
past years, with prospects of a better yield
than has ever yet been harvested in this
country.
Jasper is a prohibition county. The News-
Boy says:
The jail at this place is, and has been for
over six months, without an occupant. The
time when there was a row in Jasper was
so long ago that " the memory of man run-
neth not to the contrary."
Jasper is an old place, and has old-fash-'
ioned ways, and the News-Boy is contented.
It says: ;
True, we are slightly remote from rail-
way or water connections with the big com-
mercial centers, but our ox-cart schooners
and mule motor steamboats fill the breach,
and give us advantages not quite equal to
many other towns in East Texas, where
business activity and trade will not half
way compare with that of Jasper for good.
The adjacent agricultural and stock-raising
industries are growing more extensive an-
nually, and will always maintain Jasper in
its present business status, with fair pro-
mise for considerable increase iu other
local resources are developed.
The News-Boy reports the capture of an-
other murderer who seemed to be unable to
leave the neighborhood of his crime:
Sheriff Downs returned from a trip to
Louisiana a few days since, bringing with
him one Riley Wright,who was tried and con-
victed on a charge of murder about twelve
years ago, his punishment being assessed
at twenty years servitude in the state peni-
tentiary. Shortly after being placed in jail
he was rescued by outsiders, and has since
been at large, until Newton's vigilant and
daring sheriff captured him last week. The
murder committed by him was in cold
blood, and could have been proved as such
had witnesses yet living been on the stand
at the time of his trial.
The Clarksvllle Times says:
D. C. Giddings, of Brenham, comes out
as a candidate for governor. He is one of
the ablest men in the State, aud has had
political experience in Congress.
The Times prints the proceedings of
Farmers alliance No. 1716 and Lane's Cha-
pel alliance, at which thirty-five sub-alli-
ances of Red River county were represent-
ed. A resolution was adopted, by a vote of
■11 to 25, declaring that Colonel Charles De
Morse has, on his own statement, prepared
certain circulars, which were issued from
the office of the Clarksville Standard, pur-
porting to b«r issued from the rooms of the
County alliance of Red River county, and
that such circulars were not issued by this
alliance, but were sent out without its au-
thority or consent.
The Kerens Light remarks:
The Hon. D. C. Giddings is a candidate
for governor. Mr. Giddings, so far as we
are acquainted with his record as a public
servant, has always discharged his duties
honestly and impartially, and we predict
from the tenor of his Dallas speech last
Monday that he will have supporters.
The Austin Call says:
The remarkable unanimity with which
the people indorse what The News opposes
and oppose what The News supports forms
one of the singular paradoxes of Texas
politics.
Does the Call consider the people like th9
Irishman's pig, that could only be made to
go the right way by pretending to drive it
another"! The people of Texas are not so
pig headed, and generally go the same way
with The News. The Call says:
Judge Hancock delivered a long address
at Dallas, on Monday, in which he took
strong ground in favor of the State improv-
ing the Texas coast harbors, giving in pay-
ment therefore the vacant lands of the
schools and universities and issuing to the
respective funds of those systems bonds,
to run for a term of years, and redeemable
at the pleasure of the State. The idea, the
Call believes, is not original with Judge
Hancock,but it is a most excellent one, and
worthy earnest consideration.
The Austin Statesman says:
Judge Hancock's Dallas speech last Mon-
day follows directly in the wake, and is
supplemental to the speech of Judge Ter-
rell delivered at Houston on Thursday last.
Both strike the keynote of the greatest good
to Texas—a free outlet to commerce by way
of the gulf, rather than by railroads to the
North and East. Both are very much in
earnest in declaring that the greatest need
of Texas is deep water somewhere on her
coast line. Both propose as a measure the
best and least expensive to the State and
individual taxpayers, that the lands of the
State be used as a oasis for raising the
money needed for the improvement. The
United States government has already ap-
propriated for the needs of Texas in this line
millions of dollars, and till this time no
substantantial benefit has accrued to the
State. In the event of Texas meeting the
central government half way, bearing an
equal burden of the expense and guarantee
ing a certain, adequate and lasting port of
deep water, there can be no question that
the law-makers in Washington will readily
give Texas this, the»lnal aid, that will end
our calls upon Congress and secure us a
permanent outlet to the commerce of the
world, and wonderfully stimulate the
growth, in population and riches, of the
Lone Star State. Deep water on the coast
should be the State's slogan; for it she
should strenuously work, and for Jit she
should, if need be, even make serious sacri-
fices.
SAN MARCOS.
The Normal School to Open—A Word About
Chautauqua Institute.
To The News.
San Marcos, July 8, 1886.—Within a few
days the Normal Institute will open under
the direction of Galveston's popular super-
intendent, Professor Crow. The exercises
will be conducted on this lovely spot, under
under the Chautauqua pavilion. Surely no
other normal in the State offers such in-
ducements to teachers or visitors as regards
both natural and educational advantages.
Professor Crow, being thoroughly familiar
with all new school methods, will spare no
pains to make it interesting and instructive.
The teacher who is in doubt as to which
summer normal he will attend, would do
well to give this one the preference, as he
probably will if he has ever before attend-
ed one under the management of Professor
Crow. Good board can be secured here at
reasonable rates. Nearly every religious
denomination has its house of worship,
society is excellent, and the atmosphere is
cooler and more pleasant than I have ever
found it elsewhere in the State at this sea-
son. Some of the residences are elegant
and commodious, having been constructed
with reference to good taste and architec-
tural beauty, and the grounds around them
also give evidence of a cultivation of the
love of the beautiful in landscape garden-
ing.
So soon as the exercises of the normal
close, the Chautauqua Literary association
will hold its annual reunion, which will
probably be one of more than usual inter-
est. This society, as you are aware, has
for one of its objects the encouragement of
a higher degree of intellectual develop-
ment among the people, especially those
who have never enjoyed the advantages of
a thorough collegiate training. It will
doubtless prove an importaut factor in the
higher education of many young thinkers
throughout the State. However imperfect
and wanting in minuteness this sketch
must be, it would be unpardonably so did
it not include a mention of Coronal insti-
tute, whose gray stone walls crowning the
summit of a beautiful eminence, have been
the loved alma mater of many of the youth
of both sexas in this part of the State. The
institute continues to enjoy its wonted
popularity, and it is thought that the fall
term will witness a largely increased at-
tendance. N'Importe.
In another column of this Issue will be
found an entirely new and novel specimen of

ever plated in our paper, and we think our
