Under the heading of "A German Adju-
tant General," the San Antonio Freie
Presse makes the following objections to
fclr. Goo. B. Zimpleman, of Austin:
The Austin Statesman recommends Geo.
B. Zimpleman as the adjutant general of
the new administratis, as it is the uni-
versal opinion that a German should be at
the head oli one of the state departments.
"While we have nothing to say against the
last remark, we protest against the nomi-
nation of Mr. Zimpleman. for the very
good reason that or all the Germans he
would least represent them; that lie has
neither that degree of culture which a re-
presentative of the Germans should have,
nor has lie any feeling or interest in com-
mon with the Germans. We are of the
opinion tnat Mr. Zimpleman regrets noth-
ing more than the fact that he is d Ger-
man. If he thinks or feels otherwise, let
him sav so. Finally, we are reminded
that he was very much mixed up in the
row about the El Paso salt lakes.
The Belton Journal defies the terror of
excommunication in the words which fol-
low:
"We are determined to deal fearlessly and
candidly with all questions of public in-
terest. Whenever crime comes within the
scope of our vision, we intend striking in
favor of peace and law, regardless of the
frowns of foes, feeling strong in the ap-
probation of the friends of justice. We do
not think it the duty of this or any other
paper to treat of immorality in a manner
calculated to pander to depraved tactes,
but wo consider it the great duty of the
press to expose and boldly denounce sins,
public and private. We fully agree with
the Galveston news "in the stand it has
taken in laying open the " true inward-
ness " of crime. Strike home, brother, and
we'll try to second you.
In view of the approaching municipal
election, the Texas Christian Advocate,
With characteristic vehemence of denun-
ciation and appeal, undertakes to arouse
Citizens to a determined movement against
the evil of gambling. Referring to the
last municipal canvass, the Advocate says:
A general caucus for a good man to fill
the mayor's chair was had. Many men
were discussed for the position. The Gal-
veston News sent a reporter to each aspi-
rant, and asked if he would put an end to
the gambling hells of this city in the event
of his election. One of them replied: "If
I am elected I will observe my oath of office
and enforce the laws." Has this promise
been kept# The oath of office was taken,
but has it been respected? There has never
been a day, or a night, since his term of
office began, when the mayor could not
have caused the arrest of every gambler in
this place. His chief of police, the deputy
chief, the sergeants and two-thirds of the
police who have served during his admin
istration can not and will not say that they
could not have closed these dens of vice bad
the mayor ordered the laws prohibiting
their existence to be enforced. In a few
brief months there will be another election,
and it would be well for all lovers of law
end order to give notice that they will ac-
cept no more promises unless they be car-
ried into effect. They should grant to the
incoming official no respite from their de-
mand for an enforcement of the laws, and
particularly those laws that are intended
to shield society from a fearful curse, and
guard the unsuspecting "rom the wiles of
sharpers, as pitiless in their pursuit as the
wolf on the track of its prey.
Again the Advocate says:
Crime is bred in these pestilential filth
beds. Lately a man visited Galveston to
buy supplies. He was ignorant of the
character of the hell he was being led into,
but once there, he lost the money he had
brought to pay for his goods, and, in the
effort to win back, fo^geePa draft for $400
on one of our cotton merchants. The
proprietor of the hell did not place
the forger, his dupe, in the clutches
of the law; he was too sharp for that.
He went quietly to the firm and asked
if Mr. A. had any funds there on de-
posit. Being answered in the negative, he
tore up the draft, swallowed his loss, and
said nothing. He knew what a prosecution
of Mr. A for forgery would lead to. This
is onlv one of a dozen instances we might
give of cunning on the part of the proprie-
tors of these pitfalls, and of the consequent
ruin, occasionally ending in the death of
the victim. We have a district attorney,
who is paid a salary and gets fees fordoing
his duty. Is the suppression of these
houses not his imperative and sworn
duty? Every justice of the peace has
taken an oath to execute the laws,
but we find on reading the reports
of these courts that major this and
colonel that was employed by the state
of Texas to prosecute some poor colored
woman for abusing her neighbor. The
justice pockets his costs, while he sits se-
renely in the justice's chair with his back
to violations of law daily occurring that
Bap the moral foundation of society and
make criminals by the hundred. How
Jong will our courts of justice be scenes
where solemn farces are enacted?
The Williamson county Sun, like old
Bullion on the expunging resolutions,stand8
solitary and alone in denouncing the sys-
tem of public schools which has formed a
part of the policy of Texas ever since her
separation from Mexico in 1836. The Sun
argues as follows:
We do not hesitate now, as we have not
i hesitated heretofore, to denounce as anti-
V democratic, or anti-republican, any sys-
tem of public education which requires the
forced application of one man's money to
the education of another man's child. If
Ihe state must needs meddle with the edu-
cation of children, let it require the father
teach his children or provide instruction
Mr them, and not require another man,
^o, perhaps, has plenty of his own chil-
dren to provide for, to do his work for
him., Any system of schools supported by
taxation operates as a forced contribution
on the industry and economy of the state
to maintain the laziness and wastefulness
of the state. In short, it is but a bonus
offered by the state, out of the means of
hard-working citizens, for laziness and
general cussedness.
The law can not exact impossibilities-
^lany men are unable to educate their chil-
dren; sosse children are orphans: and the
drift of the Sun's argument would require
that the insane, old and diseased should
take care of themselves or suffer neglect.
The sins of the parents are visited on the
children in many ways; but the little ones
are not morally responsible for them. The
Sun, however, would not thus leave the
helpless poor to neglect. It says let the
people support only those who are unable
to support themselves, and makes a vigor-
ous and not unnecessary attack on the pre-
valence of idleness and vice, with their
present and prospective contaminating
influences, and calls tor a more
rigid execution of the vagrant laws-
if not for more rigid laws; it #would
require public officers, under heavy
penalties, to find out and report to the
county courts of every county the means
by which every person in the state makes
a living, and that those who are not mak-
ing an honest living be put to work and
kept at it either by the state or the coun-
ties.
The Austin Statesman goes still further
colors and previous conditions, thinking
that their numbers would be greatly re-
duced " if the whipping-post adorned the
public square of each county town," and
saying:
Vagrant whites that do such detriment
a id frighten women, and rob homes in the
a jsence of men, would soon bid Texas and
the whipping-post a final adieu. These
and nomadic blacks are the rulers of Texas
towns, giving us our local rulers and tax-
gatherers and tax-consumers. The whip-
pi-»g-post, next after the $3 suffrage tax,
w 1 be the chiefest reformer and beuefac-
t >;* of municipal governments in Texas.
T.ien, if we might reform present and fu-
t ire generations, and stop the breed of
k:laves by adopting Dr. Linthecum's phil-
osophy of stirpiculture, Texas would
prosper as never before, and the Texan of
t .e future would be the model man and
h»ro of all coming time.
The State Gazette says " there is now a
deficiency of two hundred thousand dol
i.a-5 in the revenues for the last fiscal year,
which has to be met from extraordinary
sources." The Gazette thinks a state of this
magnitude should be able to pay current
expenses from her current revenues.
The charge was made in the late canvass
that the government had been run on bor-
rowed money and the democratic party
was held responsible for it. This charge
should no longer be laid at the door of the
democracy of our state, as they hope to
continue their supremacy of power. There
must be a reduction in state expenditures,
and accounts made to balance between h«r
receipts and disbursements.
The Gazette makes the following state-
ment:
It is customary for state officers elect ti>
b" installed into office contemporaneous^
with the inauguration of the governor
B it it has been agreed that attorney geiii
oral Boone will retire on the 1st of January
pr >x.. and attorney genera! McCormick
will then assume the duties of the office.
This created the necessity for the appoint-
ment of an assistant attorney general, who
i required to atteud the supreme and ap-
p Hate courts on the first Monday in Jsnu-
a:v at Galveston Gov. Roberts, by aaree-
ui nt and with the approval of Gov. flub
br.rd, has nominated for this office Col
B.ill. of Jack county, who will enteripon
the discharge of the duties of his oftpe at
tae time stated.
Of course the governor elect can perform
no official act until he is inaugurate!, and
whatever authority has been confeifed on
the attorney general-elect and his assist-
ant must come from the present goprncr*
until his successor is qualified.
The Cuero Bulletin again callsthe at-
tion of enterprising capitalists ammanu"
facturers to the unrivaled wate power
and ebeap and abundant raw naterial
and subsistence supplies of westen Texas.
The Bulletin speaks as follows o its own
immediate surroundings: I
The Guadalupe river is a swiirunning
stream, and in many places is mmirably
adapted to the running of mcbinery
In this locality, three miles abi*e Cuero.
there is a rapid that could be utjized as a
motive power for running mill of everv
description: either for the prinding of
grain,"the ginning of cotton. p$he manu-
facture of cotton goods. As tatters now
stand, we ship our staple to fceign ports
to be manufactured into varies kinds of
cotton goods, which are sen!back to us
and purchased at advanced pees by the
very people who raised it; thu paying at
least. 75 per cent, more for th^goods tha i
we would if they had been mie at. home.
and not only this, the countP would be
enriched by the exportation of cotton
goods to Europe and Asia Itfond all cal
culation Southwestern Teas possesses
in her soil all the ■elementflecessmy to
make a country prosper, ana all it needs
is the extension of its railrqus to bring
in an immigration that w|l fill up its
vacant lands with thrift ad industry,
backed by energy and enteprise, to de-
velop to its full extent the nst resources
that now lies dormant for tje want of it.
The Palestine New Era i^tes the liber-
ality of Galveston merchantJas follows.
In company with Dr. Shuiatte we took
a run down to Galveston fast week, to
place some bonds and rais^ funds needed
for the completion of our) new masonic
temple in Palestine. We aje gratified at
being able to report that air success was
such as to insure the completion of that
building, except the internal finish. In
order to let our readers knov who the real
friends of Palestine are, anong the mer-
chants of Galveston, we gi\* the names of
those who invested in our "bonds, to wit:
Ball, Hutchings & Co., Wdston, Wells &
Vidor, Heidenheimer & Br*., Kaufman &
Runge, Gustave Heve & Coi, R. A. Brown
& Co., LeGierse & Co. and J. H. McBride,
of Lee, McBride & Co. \Wiile these gen-
tlemen acknowledge the mlidity of our
bonds and the security of tie investment,
they have equally as gool investments
offered them every day at iome. and they
invested in our bonds simply to show their
good feeling for our community and to
encourage a spirit of enterprise in their
country neighbor. In behalf of the ma-
sonic fraternity of this place and the citi-
zens of this community generally we ten-
der many thanks to those business men of
Galveston who so promptlv and generous-
ly aided us in securing the means neces-
sary for the completion of this magnificent
building.

Palestine New-Era: Cotton receipts for
the past week have been quite large. It is
estimated that the receipts for this season
at this point will reach from 13,(>00 to 15 -
000 bales On day before yesterday
Stewart Saddler, on the Pinson place, was
chastising his little sister, when his brother
came up and ordered him to desist; where-
upon Stewart turned upon the brother,
and after a little fisticuff the brother went
into the bouse, got his gun, and, resting it
on the fence, deliberately fired, striking
Stewart in the fane. The ball knocked cut
several teeth, and ranging backward,
lodged under the skin in the back part of
the head. Saddler is in a critical
condition, but may recover. No
arrests had been made up to yesterday. ..
Palestine seems to be entering on an era of
substantial improvements. The masonic
temple is now up to the third floor, will
cost $16,000, and will be the handsomest
building in eastern Texas. The new
Laclede hotel, 75x100 feet, three stories
high, is now in course of construction, and
will be a credit to the town. Robards &
McKay are erecting on the same block as
the Laclede hotel a fine two-story store-
house. R. H. Jones is erecting a substan-
tial one-story brick on the old Jim Linn
lot, for Greenwood & Gooch, and will soon
commence another near it for Jo Amson.
J. M. Swanson and M. & H. Ash will each
build on the burnt district as soon as spring
opens. Dr. Shumatte is also preparing to
erect two store-houses adjoining the
masonic temple. All these buildings are
of brick, and being constructed with the
best material and in the latest style of
modern architecture. Fifteen solid brick
business houses in course of construction at
one time.
DE WITT.
Cuero Bulletin: The success which has
attended the growing of wheat the past
season will induce the farmer to increase
its culture. Capt. Clark, of this county,
state's that the seed wheat will turn out
full thirty pounds to the bushel of superior
flour. The general average is from twenty-
five to twenty-seven pounds. From these
facts before us it is evidently to the inter-
est of the planter to cultivate wheat as
well as cotton.
GOLIAD.
Guard: Mr. D. R. Fanfc bought of
Messrs. Duke and Holliday 1060 head of
improved cattle. These cattle he will put
in his large pasture on the west side of the
San Antonio river, in which he has already
near 13,000 head. Mr. F. gathered 8000 or
10,000 head out of hispasture last spring
and drove them to Kansas, where he is
now wintering 4000 head On last Sat-

YOUNG.
Weatherford Times: James James, a
resident of Parker county, died at the resi-
dence of his daughter, in Young county,
on l'ecember 2d. He is believed to be the
oldest citizen in Texas, or perhaps in the
United States. He was born near the
Red House, in Prince William county, Va.,
May 10, 1764, and consequently lived to
the age of 114 years, 6 months and 22 days.
James James, or " Double Jimmy," as he
was familiarly called, was a hard-working
man all his lite. In his 109th year he cul-
tivated an acre patch of watermelons in
Parker county, and raised the finest
brought to market. Smythe's Historical
Sketch of Weatherford and Parker Coun-
ties says his acre crop realized him $125.
