MONDAY, JULY 26,1886.
THE LAWYERS SHOULD APPEAL TO
THE DOMINANT PARTY.
The Democratic State convention that
met in Galveston in 1882 indorsed a propo-
sition to amend the constitution. Then may
not the convention of 1886 likewise indorse
the amendment proposed by the Bar asso-
ciationi' It was the support of the party
that carried the amendment which pro-
vided for the investment of the school fund
in county bonds. Hitherto the lawyers
have not appealed to the party for assist-
ance in reforming the judiciary system,
and their efforts have accordingly been
nugatory. Now the dominant party, with
this question fairly before the people, ought
to be forced to decide it. The Demo-
cratic party is responsible for the effi-
ciency of every department of the
state government. Here is a department
that is inefficient and going from bad to
worse, and the responsibility rest* solely
upon the dominant party. It will be im-
possible, without party indorsement, to
procure a two-thirds vote in the House of
Representatives, as it is likely to be com-
posed, for any system devised by a bar as-
sociation. The House may indeed patch up
and change the plan proposed, and submit
to the people something no Setter than they
now have. If the bar of Texas accepts with
practical unanimity the plan devised and
adopted by the state association, the Gal-
veston convention can afford to adopt it
and demand that it be submitted
without legislative tampering to the
vote of the people. If the party
will not do this, in view of
the necessities involved, a constitutional
convention is in order. Unless the courts
of last resort are to be reformed in such
manner as to provide justice, they ought to
be abolished as a useless and expensive ap-
pendage to government. This question
ought to come before the party in such
shape as to require decision one way or the
other. There are lawyers and lawyers,
lawyers who are interested in the delays in-
cident to the present system, and lawyers
who are interested in prompt decisions. It
may be conceded that the best lawyers
want a better judicial system, and the law-
yers of the lowest grade want the least effi-
cient system. The best lawyers have de-
vised and recommended a system which
ought, by reason of their indorsement, to
receive the most favorable consideration of
the convention. But unless they take steps
to have the subject considered by the con-
vention the politicians will scarcely give it
a thought.
JJS M' CALL ORIGINAL DEMO-
CRAT?
The Bepublicans, since Mr. John D. Mc-
Call seems to be leading in the race for the
Democratic nomination for the office of
comptroller, want to claim him as their own
lost child. The Evening Paper, of San An-
tonio, edited by the unquestioned Radical
Republican, James P. Newcomb, files a
claim for McCall as a young gentleman
who imbibed true Republicanism during
his four years tutelage as an office-holder
under the Radical regime. Then the Optic,
at Austin, supporting Ireland for the Sen-
ate, Brackenridge for governor and the lo-
cal opposition to the Democratic nominees,
naturally sympathizing with the Republi-
cans in their claim for the ownership
of Candidate McCall, alleges that he was
shut up with the Davis party in the
capitol when they were resisting Governor
Coke, and was in full fellowship with the
usurping Radicals. McCall has the testi-
mony of Colonel De Gress and Dr. Philipps
that they never claimed him as a Republi-
can. He was known to them as a Democrat.
De Gress and Philipps belong to opposing
factions of the Republican party. If they
agree that McCall is a Democrat it is about
the only question relating to politics upon
which they agree. Philipps was chief clerk
and McCall a subordinate under a Radical
comptroller. Probably they knew each
other better than Newcomb knows either.
What they know about the comptroller's
office, about Newcomb and about each
other would make an interesting book,
and what they now declare is en-
titled to belief. Newbomb can do
no Democrat full justice. De Gress
and Philipps can do justice to all men ex-
cept possibly themselves. Now, if New-
comb wants to nominate MoCall for comp-
troller on the Republican ticket after the
Democrats have nominated him there can
be no objection. If the Democrats nomi-
nate another man McCall might be ten-
dered the Republican nomination, and his
Democracy would be tested. But it should
not be forgotten that during the Davis ad-
ministration mauy Democrats were ap-
pointed to office in the different departments
of the state government. Competent clerks
could not be found in the ranks of the Re-
publican party in Texas, and young
men of pronounced Democratic sentiments
were employed. Among these havo been
classed MoCall and Harrison, both candi-
dates for Democratic indorsement for the
office of comptroller at the present time.
In the land office several Democrats were
employed, under a Republican chief. When
the government was about to change hands,
and the Radicals were fortified in the old
capitol resisting the change, the Democratic
employes joined the Democratic forces,
and the Republicans, with few exceptions,
joined the Davis garrison. Now it is simply
a question of fact—that will decide McCall's
political standing—whether he joined the
Radical forces or aligned himselt with the
besieging party. Outside of the surviving
Radicals, who it seems disagree, is there
any Democratic evidence against McCall?
Did he enter the Radical fortress and shoul-
der a musket under General Britton? If he
did, and it is proved, Newcomb, after the
10th of August, will have permission to col-
lect the remains after the Democracy get
through with him.
There are two or more good reasons why
the spirit and intent of the funding law are
held to mean silver or [gold when it says
coin. Silver was formerly very scarce, and
the government paid in the cheaper coin,
gold. It also borrowed coin, and received
gold, because gold was the cheaper for the
lender. When the refunding law was
passed the gold men knew that by consent-
ing through their attorneys in Congess to
say " coin " they left the debtor's option as
it ordinarily had been. They did not make
an open strike for the more valuable coin,
or for either one, definitely, or for the cre-
ditor's option. Ttiey did not take the risk
of specifying which sort of coin when there
was a doubt as to which would be the more
valuable coin, or they did not dare to try to
effect a change from debtor's option to
creditor's option, especially when they were
getting the very liberal settlement of a
change from greenbacks to coin. They were
not able to demand the overthrow of the
debtor's option with any prospect of success,
and they did not demand it. Tlio presump-
tion then is that the letter of the law ex-
presses its spirit, and here is the reason
confirming it. The creditors of government
were getting liberal treatment in getting
coin at debtor's option, and eliminating
greenback option. But it is owing to their
own schemes that silver is under a cloud.
At Mineapolis a medical practitioner,
having a diploma and without any question
arising against his competency, was re-
fused license to practice because he adver-
tises. He had an appeal from the medical
board to the university, but had decided to
advertise and practice and allow the board
to prosecute him.
Without trying, in this instance, to spare
the senators of its own party, the New York
Times, of the 20th, said of the Senate's
work:
The Senate spent the greater part of its time
yeBterday in what purported to he a debate on
the bill levying a tax of live rent's a pound on
oleomargarine. Tills bill is thoroughly vicious
in principle and beyond question unconstitu-
tional in purpose. It is supported by a varie-
ty of false pretenses. In the first place, it
rests on the pretense of being a revenue mea-
sure, though no sueli measure Is needed, and
If it were, a elienp article of food would be an
Improper subject of taxation. Its advocates
pretend that its purpose Is to suppress fraud,
but thev fail to show that it would have that
effect, and if it would, that Is not a subject for
national legislation. The bill is not based on
the theory that oleomargarine Is uuwhoie
some, or that it is fraudulently sold, but mere-
ly subjects it as a commodity to a discrimina-
ting tux, Justified by such a constitutional
lawyer as Mr. Edmunds as being for the " gen-
eral welfare." The plain fact is that the tax Is
intended as a protection of the dairy Interests
against the competition of a cheap substitute
for butter, and therein lies the pernicious
character of the bill.
Boss continues to lead in the guberna-
torial race, but Ross is not in sight of the
winning post and his drivers are not ac-
quainted with the right road.
It will be a good while before Panama
canal stock will be watered with the briny
fluid of meeting oceans. Meanwhile it is
rendered anemic by issuing 100 for 45 cash
and a chance to have shares redeemed at
par by successive drawings to begin pre-
sently. Does not this feature really make
a lottery of the securities?
If this country were only France Logan and
Halstead would have discharged harmless
pistols at each other before now.
Bexar county joins Guadalupe in indors-
ing Governor Ireland for United States
senator. If this thing is kept up the gov-
ernor will have nine or ten votes in the
Twentieth legislature for United States
senator.
As to what constitutes a political offense
as distinguished from an ordinary crime,
the power that is asked to extradite a
refugee must decide the question.
The Chicago Het'ald says:
The Herald learns from the New York news-
papers themselves that one of them is edited
by a Jay Gould stool pigeon, another by a
pauper immigrant, another by a bilk and
bankrupt, another by a malevolent old crank,
and another by a vicious blackmailer. Yet it
is from that quarter that remarks about the
rowdy West emanate.
As a key to the above it might be added
that according to themselves the Jay Gould
stool pigeon is Whitelaw Reid, of the Tri-
bune, the pauper immigrant Pulitzer, of the
World, the bilk and bankrupt Dorsheimer,
of the Star, the malevolent old crank Dana,
of the Sun, and the vicious blackmailer
Jones, of the Times. This is how the Ne^
York editors appear Lo tlie outside world,
as pictured by each other.
There must be a lot of old store goods
accumulated in New Hampshire towns. The
stringent insurance law drove many com-
panies out of business and fires have de-
creased 30 per cent, under the diminished
insurance. Here " moral hazard " seems to
have been transformed into a protective in-
fluence.
The uninstructed delegates—and they will
control the convention—are ve.-y liable to
lean toward Giddings. There is no machine
pushing Giddings.
In discussing the oleomargarine bill, Mr.
Beck quoted from some old speeches by sev-
eral senators who support the bill, but who
at former times furnished strong arguments
against measures not different in principle.
Three years ago the makers of cider vinegar
tried their hand in the lobby, endeavoriag
to get Congress to tax wine vinegar out of
existence. Then Mr. Hale, of Maine, said:
Supposing that the people of the western
States get a good table vinegar manufactured
that they are satisfied with, lit four, five or six
cents a gallon, does the senator believe that
we ought to insist, by imposing a heavy duty,
upon their buying his vinegar and my vinegar,
the vinegar of New York aud Now England,
simply because we believe It is a better vin-
egar and can be made cheaper? Would the
senator interfere with this markctln the West,
and with this price of a product that they are
satisfied with? If he would, he would do dif-
feient from what I would. This is not a ques-
tion of the production of foreign labor. I do
not want anything upon this bill that obliges
the people of the West, if they prefer to use u
poor vinegar at four or five cents, to take our
lietter vinegar.
After this how could Senator Hale advo-
cate the butter lobby bill?
In view of the tongue-thrashing that
Logan gave Halstead it is safe to assume
that the alleged Democratic Cincinnati En-
quirer will henceforth consider the Illinois
warrior the greatest statesman and most
sincere patriot in this country.
On Saturday last, on Auction exchange,
New Orleans, there were sold one gold and
silver chessboard and chessmen, and one
silver crown. The above-named articles
were presented about twenty-eight years
ago by admiring friends to the late Paul
Morphy, the brilliant and renowned chess-
player, as testimonials of appreciation and
esteem and in acknowledgment of the un-
rivaled talent displayed before admiring
and enthusiastic throngs in both the old
and new world.
position paper and try and secure the ser-
vices of Gail Hamilton to edit it. Rose and
Gail would make things lurid during the
next campaign.
The New York Evening Post well says:
" In some countries, Russia, for instance,
and Austria—as it used to be—political dis-
content is treated by jurists as a sign simply
of a bad moral condition on the part of the
discontented; in England and America it
has long been treated as a sign that there
are evils in the body politic which need
curing."
When Miss Rose Cleveland settles down
to work on her Chicago paper it is to be
hoped that she will give us a chapter on the
Rev. Mr. Burchard, of New York. It is
barely possible that if there were no Mr.
Burchard, Miss Cleveland would not be
editing a Chicago publication.
THE STATE PRESS.
What the Newspapers Throughout Texas Are
Talking About.
The Sabine Pass Times threatens to bolt
from the ranks of the Knights .of Labor:
Whenever the people turn out to down
political xings, the Times will be with them
heart and soul, but when they are led by a
set of schemers and wirepullers who would
sacrifice the best interests of the country
for their own selfish ends, it will as earnest-
ly oppose them. When the industrious,
honest laboring men of the country demand
recognition ana a fair and equitable adjust-
ment of their rights and interests, and
purge their ranks of drones, agita-
tors and chronic sore heads, they will
have the sympathy and support of
all good citizens, but they must
sit down on worthless adventurers who
seek to use their influence for selfish pur-
poses. The Times has been the laborers'
best friend in this part of the country, and
is so yet. It ha6 never wavered in its ad-
vocacy of their rights—has stood by them
amid all the threats of their opposers, but
it will not follow a set of adventurers who
have come forward to lead them by the
nose and practice the base deceptions we
have discovered in our recent visit to the
county seat. If the laborers of southeast
Texas follow the lead of such Iscariots the
Times will throw hot shot after them as
long as life shall last.
The El Paso Times gives the result of the
visit of Messrs. Magoffin, Julian, Frank
Clark and a Times man to the village of
Socorro, eighteen miles below El Paso, in
the valley of the Rio Grande, to report on
the condition of the crops and the needs of
the inhabitants. They say the people are
in a critical condition with no means at
command, and that unless they receive im-
mediate assistance they must either beg,
starve or leave their small properties to
earn day wages to the great detriment of
the fertile and promising valley:
The cause of this condition of affairs at
Socorro is due entirely to the unchecked
ravages of the river, which has now for
two consccutive years during the flood
season carried away over a mile of their
main irrigating ditch. This time the river
has left them no territory whereon to patch
the gap, and there is need, much need, of
water for their crops, and even for drinking
purposes.
The committee say the people need as-
sistance from others.
The Times, of Tuesday, says:
Minister Jackson, at the City of Mexico,
yesterday sent a dispatch to Consul Brig-
ham. at Paso del Norte, instructing him to
make at once a peremptory demand upon
the local authorities for the unconditional
release of Cutting. If this is not immedi-
ately complied with, we trust that there is
enough ot the spirit of Old Hickory re-
maining in the state department at Wash-
The Bexar county delegation to the State
convention will divide interest with the
Galveston delegation.
The allegation that such Democratic op-
posites as Carlisle and Randall, backed as
they are, are engaged in a "conspiracy"
against the president on the treasury policy
amounts to a suggestion that the Demo-
cratic party becomes a conspiracy when-
ever it refuses to take its orders from New
York bankers.
As to whether the word " tote " is good
English the Wilmington (N. C.) Star says:
There is none better. It is of excellent pa-
rentage—Anglo-Saxon. Chaucer, the lirstgreat
English poet, uses tote several times in his
celebrated Canterbury Tales, and just as the
Southern people use it to this day. A North-
ern writer tried to use it and he abused it. He
wrote: " He ordered the boy to tote hishorse
around to the gate." Old Noah Webster slip-
ped up as to tote in the early editions of his
big dictionary. He said it was a Southern pro-
vincialism, common among the negroes. It Is
a legitimate, honest word, of which no man
need be ashamed.
Now that Miss Clevalard is booked to
edit a literary paper at Chicago, some en-
terprising pushers should start an op-
ington to take a jjractical step toward en-
forcing it.
ihe Times says:
There are to-day ten cities in Texas with
the following populations: Galveston, 40,-
000; San Antonio, 85,000: Houston, 30,000;
Dallas, 25,000; Fort Worth, 18,000; Austin,
16,000: Waco, 32,000: Sherman, 11,(XIO;
Denison, 0000; Paris, 8000.
The figures are.noue too large.
The Cuero Star asks:
Now. as for adjutant-general King. Did
he want the Galveston committee to wait
three months for an answer from his high-
ness ? It seems he is determined to break
up the drill, if he can, because the commit-
tee didn't wait.
The Springtown (Parker county) Pilot
says:
Hot winds have about finished up the
corn. People are moving in all directions.
The failure of the corn crop in various
sections is the cause.
The Wills Point (Van Zandt county)
Chronicle says:
An important subject for the people of
Texas to consider now is deep water at
some point on the coast of Texas. Of course
Galveston is the proper place, if it can pos-
sibly be had there; if not, then at some other
point. Deep water Texas must have.
The Huntsville Item closed its thirty-fifth
year Thursday. The old man who has con-
ducted it thus far says:
We are not overly proud of the Item, as it
hath not grown up with the country, being
hardly half the size of contemporaries of
not a decade's growth, still it holds its own,
and possibly owes no man anything—at
least Dun's says so, and it ought to enow!
We pitch into a new year, leaving the out-
come in the hands of our junior, who proba-
bly suits the new generation far better than
ourself, being "native and to the manor
born." Having type, ink, presses and a
building rent free, " let us," as Paul once
said, "therewith be content,"
The following from the Cleburne Chron-
icle looks liKe the revival of the nights of
the dark lantern:
Tuesday evening the hieroglyphics about
on the sidewalks and other places indicated
that the Knights of Labor were to hold a
meeting at their hall at night. After the
meetine it was learned that a Knight of
Labor from Dallas had addressed the lodge
and asked for their co-operation and in-
fluence to secure Barney Gibbs's nomina-
I tion. It is understood that the idea of sup-
porting Gibbs by many of the Cle-
burne Knights of Labor did not take
verv well. Many of the Knights
of Labor men are men of sense and
they do not propose to be controlled in their
political preferences at the suggestion of
all the would-be leaders of the Knights of
Labor. The same man who called on the
lodge in Cleburne is making a tour of the
congressional district, visiting all the
lodges of the Knights of Labor, counseling
the members to unite on Gibbs or any body
to beat Wellborn for Congress. It is evi-
dently done with the approval of Gibbs
who, it seems, now woutd resort to most
any scheme to get himself in Congress.
The Tyler Democrat and Reporter says:
When it comes to the principle of the
thing, there is quite as mush sense in tlie
State digging deep-water ports as in build-
ing railroads.
The Franklin Paper chronicles the volun-
tary ending of a misspent life:
Conrad Anschieks committed suicide in
the colored graveyard at Calvert, last San-
day. He marked the place oft' where he de-
sired to be buried, undressed himself, swal-
lowed the drug, and lay down to die on the
spot. He had been drinking heavily for
several days, and had severely whipped his
wife because she refused to live with him
again. Since his release from jail about a
month ago. he has sqandered $400 or >500,
which he had just received from Europe.
His indeed was a checkered life. First
county clerk during E. J. Davis's admin-
istration, then grocery merchant, dur-
ing which time he failed two or three
times; served two years in the peniten-
tiary; was pardoned out; returned to Ro-
bertson county; entered again into business
and was finally committed to jail in default
of payment of bis whisky license, where he
icmaiaed about three months, and was re-
leased. He once wielded a large influence
in the Republican party. In affiuenoe, he
was liberal and cared nothing for money,
spending it freely for his friends, and
while he was almost universally hated, yet
his sympathizers were quite numerous.
The Abilene Reporter reviews the pros-
pects of the candidates in the race for gov-
ernor, and reports:
Roberts and Giddings riding in a slow
pace discussing the political questions of
the day, while along down the line in the
rear may be seen Martin, De Morse, Ross
and Swain, whipping and spurring and
leaning forward in their saddles, while the
distance between them and the two old
stagers is growing and expanding with
every passing moment. At this writing it
is hard to tell whioh of the two (Roberts or
Giddings) will get there. Either will be
satisfactory to the people and they seem
perfectly willing that the people should de-
cide the matter.
The San Antonio Evening Paper says
of the regular army to oommand at the [In-
ter] state drill was not only a very neat thing
to do as a compliment to our regular mili-
tary forces, to which Texas owes so much,
but the correct and fair thing to do consid-
ering that Texas comes in competition with
companies from abroad. We want no par-
tiality displayed, and the seleotion was in
every way proper and wise, and should
have been made without any reference to
the adjutant-general of Texas.
The Alexander Tribune has been boycot-
ted by the Erath county Farmers alliance.
The Tribune says:
In October last the Tribune was at that
time adopted as the organ of the county
alliance, and as such devoted more or less
space to alliance matters. It is also a fact
that a certain element in the alliance ex-
pected the paper to demagogue the farmers
and stir up class prejudices among the peo-
ple, bnt they soon fonnd themselves disap-
pointed. The editor saw clearly the scheme
set on foot by designing demagogues to
make the alliance a political machine, and
fought the movement from the first. This
was and is the cause of the war now being
made against the Tribune.
The Tribune says:
A continual stream of movers passes
through, going east and south. One man
from Shackelford county informed us that
he left his farm, which oost him about
$2000, nothaving raised one dollar's worth
of produfl* this year. Others say a man
can get a very well improved plaoe in some
of the western counties for a wagon and
team.
The Orange Tribune says:
D. C. Giddings is a mighty good man to
switch off on for governor.
The Greenville Herald would like to be
both right and right side up:
We would rather be right and well fed
than to be poor, hungry and wrong.
The editors of the Dallas Times and Hous-
ton Age are veteran Democrats, wool died
in the same kettle, warranted not to fade,
and standing fast to the traditions of their
fathers, through evil as well as good re-
ports ; but they begin to feel like those who
have followed a prophet to the stake to see
him fall away from the faith they have fol-
lowed to the end. The veteran of the Age
has been fed on crow until he languishes
for the flesh-pots of the old-time Demo-
cratic love-feast with barbecued meats and
burgoo, and the Times sadly says:
The Democrat of Texas has been of late
years drifting toward Republicanism. He
lias strayed from the fundamental princi-
ples of genuine Democracy and flirted with
the daughters of the worshiuers of false
gods. State rights, for whose sacred
cause tens of thousands laid down their
lives, are lost sight of; and the extension of
the federal government, insidiously fos-
tered by northern Republicanism, has
usurped the place of the old patriotic doc-
trine. The old party lines are waning
away under the tendency of Democratic
leaders toward wealthy, powerful, exclusive
Republicanism. The old party lines are
passing away. But in the new line of de-
markation the renegade Democrats will flnd
themselves among the Republicans, where
they properly belong; and the genuine, un-
corrupted Democrats will stand aloof, firm-
ly grounded upon the grand old principles
whose apostle was Thomas Jefferson.
But the Times does not sorrow like those
without hope. It says the Democratic
party will rally:
Among them may be found a few re-
pentant backsliders, aud a handful of Re-
publicans, who have seen the mischievous
errors of Republican doctrine, but the
mass of the people will have awakened to
the monstrous corruptions and evils which
have grown up in the past few dormant
years, and the Democracy of the United
States—the toilers, the producers, the tax-
payers, the bread-winners—will raise the
standard of revolt against the non-pro
ducers, the usurers, the tax-absorbers and
the official blood-suckers.
