li is to be regretted that national poli-
tics enter so largely into the pending
state canvass in Texas as well-nigh to
overshadow questions of state policy.
Even the casual reader has doubtless
noticed how small a share is usually al-
lotted, comparatively speaking, to state
finanjes by Roberts and Hamman, and
other candidates representing respect-
ively the democratic and greenback par-
ties in the state canvass. The casual
reader also has hardly failed to observe
with what indefatigable prolixity most
of these speakers enlarge upon national
finances. This is questionless due in
great part to the commanding promi-
nence which the financial question has
assumed with reference to the national
debt ami the national currency. An
uncharitable critic might affirm or in-
sinuate that state matters have figured
so slightly in these discussions because
they were intricate and perplexing, awk-
ward to handle, and came too near home
to be comfortable. It is not to be sup-
posed, however, that judge Roberts has
been influenced by any consideration
of this nature. He has manifested be-
fore now an intelligent and earnest in-
terest in important as well as profound
subjects of state policy, and whatever
precedence he may give to the discus-
sion of national politics may be fairly
credited to a desire to expose and ex-
plode what he conceives to be dangerous
fallacies and projects respecting cur-
rency, legal tender, and the payment of
United States bonds. A striking evi-
dence of judge Roberts's sincerity and
zeal in this direction was given in his
recent speech at Waco. In that speech
he spoke of the greenback movement as
meditating the repudiation of the pub-
lic debt, and he said it behooved the
i democratic party to oppose such action.
He abided—as reported by a News cor-
respondent—that, " were the republican
party still in power, as from 1863 to
1870, the leaders of such a movement
would be thrown into prison, charged
with treason." Here he renders himself
liable to be corrected by the testimony of
history. The greenback movement,
ns defined by the average of
opinion and expression in a number
of greenback platforms, proceeds upon
an idea that was held by many republi-
cans as well as many democrats as far
back as 1867, in the period referred to
by judge Roberts, when the ascendency
of the republican party was at its height
This idea, common to all the greenback
platforms, proposes the payment in
greenbacks of such bonds of the govern-
ment as do not expressly call for
payment in coin in the acts authorizing
their issue or on their face, and it.
proposes one uniform legal tender, is-
sued by the government and equally
good for all public rind private dues.
The nonsense about an infinity of fiat
money aud absolute money is not a logi-
cal filiation of that or of any other
idea because it is impossible of concep-
tion. Well, as we have said, the idea
had adherents among both republicans
and democrats in the heyday of republi-
can power. In January. 1868, William G.
Ur< nvnlow.the famous Teniwessee radical,
wrote a letter to the radical state conven-
tion of Tennessee, saying, "if I were a
rtembcr of your convention I would en-
deavor to have incorporate*! in the plat-
form you adopt a plank to the following
effect: That the boyds and obligations
the general government, which do
aot expressly stipulate for payment in
;oin in the acts authorizing their issu-
ance or in their face, shonild be paid in
greenbacks or in legal tenders," etc.
About the same time Mr. Stevens, the
famous Pennsylvania radical, denounced
the idea of paying in coin the five-twen-
ties, then the bulk of the braided debt,
while they were payable by the law
creating them in lawful money, as a
swindling proposition which meant to
enhance the debt one-half in favor of the
speculations of bondholders. About the
same time Gen. Butler, a leading re-
publican, and Messrs Pendleton and
Ewing, leading democrats, advocated a
iftlution of the problem of the
public debt and the currency by adopt-
fag a uniform currency of legal tender
feotet, good for the payment of all bonds
not expressly payable in coSn and con-
vertible at option into bonds bearing a
low rate of interest. We need hardly
refer to the national democratic plat-
form of 1808. J udge Roberts seems to
have forgotton that nearly all the finan-
cial declarations of the greenback party
outside of Texas, as far as the public
debt is concerned, are not materially dif-
ferent from those of the Austin plat-
form, which has its financial coun-
terpart in all the platforms late-
ly adopted by the western democ-
racy. Surely there is no repudiation in
proposing to adhere to the original bar-
eain under which the public debt was
created. The people are becoming
thoroughly aroused on the financial
question. They believe that the bargain
was repeatedly tampered with in favor
of the public creditor and of a special
moneyed interest. While they do not
propose to repudiate the bargain to
make money for the laboring and tax
paying millions, they are decidedly op-
posed to ratifying and carrying out a re-
pudiation of it to make money for a
select and fortunate few at the expense
of those millions.

Indiana and Mexican. Raiding: all
Aloii<r the Line — Murdering:
Women and Children in Kerr
County.
[Special Telegram to the News.1
Mason, Oct. 6.—Information reaches us
of Indian raids at Junction City on Thurs-
day night last. Horses were stolen and
killed. No murders occurred at Junction
City. Three girls and a boy, by the name
of Dowdy, are reported as killed by the
Indians on October 5 at the head of
Johnson's fork, on the Guadalupe. The
Indians have a large herd of horses. It
seems to l>e a general Indian raid this new
moon, as reports reach us from several
surrounding sections of their visitation
and depredation, including fort McKavett,
where, it is said one man was killed and
several horses were stolen.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
[Special Telegram to the News.1
Fredericksburg, Oct. 6.—Information
just received here by courier from Gen.
Mason is to the effect that a band of In-
dians, or Indians and Mexicans combined,
were raiding and depredating in Kerr
county yesterday morning. They mur-
dered three girls and a boy named Dowdy,
upon Johnson's fork of the Guadalupe
river, yesterday morning, which point
is something like forty-five miles south-
west of this city. Gen. Mason, while trav-
eling upon official business without an es-
cort, hearing of the raid, promptly sent a
courier with a dispatch to the nearest tel-
egraph office, informing Gens. Ord and
MacKenzie of the raid, who will without
doubt take immediate measures for their
capture.
The Military on tho Alert.
[Special Telegram to the News.]
San Antonio, Oct. 7.—The following
dispatch from Col. Mason, U. S. A., at
Wilson's ranch, sixty miles west of here,
was received to-day :
A party of Indians, or Indians and Mex-
icans, are raiding through this country.
They kil'sd three girls and a boy, by the
name of Dowdy, at the head waters of
Johnson's fork of the Guadalupe river,
tliis morning or yesterday. They have a
large herd of horses and are striking for
the Rio Grande somewhere near the Devil's
river.
This is reliable. The United States dis-
trict commanders have been notified and
there is good reason to believe that these
raiders will be overtaken. The Mexicans
have quite a large force near the Rio
Grande, at the point where the Indians
will probably cross over, and if they (the
Mexicans) are disposed to do so they can
render material assistance.
Additional Details of the Indian
MaHaacre.
[Special Telegram to the News.l
San Antonio, Oct. 7.—The Express has
received additional intelligence in regard
to the massacre by Indians. The scene of
the outrage was 18 miles from Kerrville.
The name of the family is Dourdy, and
they had lately moved to Kerr comity. The
children not returning for dinner,
their mother went in search of them,
and in a ravine a few hundred
yards from the house, she found the life-
less mutilated bodies of two girls and a
boy. The third girl, about IS years of
age, was living, but speechless. She has
since died. A party of citizens is in pur-
suit. Military gentlemen at headquarters
think it is hardly possible for the raiders
to make good their escape.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 0. — The adjutant
general to^lay received a telegrajn from
Gen. Sheridan announcing that the Chey-
enne Indians were being closely pursued
by the troops.
Reports are received that the Indians at
the Spotted Tail agency have left the res-
ervation, and are committing depredations
in the surrounding country. The condi-
tion is regarded as serious.
St. Louis, Oct. 6.—A special to the
Globe-Democrat from Topeka, says the
Indians who recently went north started
to Decatur eountv, and raided the settle-
ments there. Their main depredations
were onSappa creek. Every residence for
12 miles was plundered; all the cattle
st impeded, and what of the crops was left
by the Indians has been eaten up or de-
stroyed by the stock. The number of
killed is not yet known. Several bodies
were found and buried, among them
foar members of a family named Lan-
Their mother was brutally
outraged by several Indians. The house
of H. D. Colum was surrounded by the
Lillians, but he and his wife, with shot-
gun and revolver, drove the Indians away,
tilling or wounding several. Other cases
similar to this occurred. Nearly all the
settlers along Sappa creek have taken
refuge in Abe line. and are being oared for.
They have literally' been stripped of every-
thing they possessed. It is repoi-ted that
troops have scattered the Indians in all
directions, and that the worst is over.
There is nothing encouraging to be

ing to do anything to maintain the party

Fort Worth's Threat to Quarantine
and Dallas's Contingent Set-Off—
A Prisoner Sentenced to on© min-
ute in Jail—Passage of a Prisoner
in Irons.
[.Special Telegram to the News.l
Dallas, Oct. 7.—Bill Reader, charged
with the theft of a trunk of clothing and
$400 in money, in Parker county, was ai -
rested here to-day and carried back.
Terry, a Michigan detective, passed
through here to-day, en route for Nash-
ville, with Chas. H. Berry, an alleged
forger, in irons. Terry has been on his
trail for months. He traced him to Kan-
sas, Arkansas, Texas, and finally ran his
game down between Jacksboro and Fort
Worth.
Learning that parties in Fort Worth are
spreading a report of the existence of yel-
low fever in this place, the efforts are
being made to quarantine against Dallas.
Mayor Cabell again officially notifies the
authorities that there is no fever here, and
announces his purpose, if quarantine is es-
tablished, to allow no train to come nearer
this place than Sciene, nine miles east of
Dallas until the quarantine is raised. This
would effectually cut off Fort Worth rail-
way communication.
The most remarkable punishment award-
ed a prisoner was assessed to-day, in the
district court, against Charles Miller, the
tramp, who stole a breakfast from W.
Jollen's table recently. The prisoner
pleaded that he had spent every cent he
had earned in the cotton field in the hos-
pital, was turned out weak and penniless,
and twenty-four hours afterward, having
begged in the neighborhood for bread, he
was urged by hunger to commit the theft:
the jury brought in a verdict of guilt, fix-
ing the penalty at one minute in prison.
He was guarded back to the prison, served
his term, and was released, the officers of
the iail providing him with money for one
day's board and lodging.
legal license. He urged upon the jury to
sink all personal considerations and to act
only for the common good of the commu-
nity; also the necessity of keeping their
proceedings secret. Much injustice has
been done the poor and ignorant men.
The jury ought not to be more rigorous
with a poor, ignorant negro or Mexican
than with other guilty parties, no matter
how well known they may be. Poor, igno-
rant men are often persecuted by men
who have some spite against them;
some cases of the ignorant and destitute
having been indicted because their accus-
ers were men of influence, have been devel-
oped in the county. The powers you wield
should lie exercised in accordance with
and for the execution of the law of our
state, and in such a manner as to satisfy
your consciences that you have done voor
whole duty in the premises. Judge
Noonan's charge excited much favorable
comment.
To-day, the Jewish day of atonement,
was rigidly observed, the stores being
closed and all business suspended.

[Special Telegram to the News.]
Jacksonville, Oct. g.—Joseph Kemp,
alias George Elmo, was arrested yesterday
by deputy sheriffs Reagan, Taylor and
Cobb, of this county, on a requisition of
Gov. Miller of Arkansas, for the murder
of Marion D. Hulsey, of Independence
county, Ark., in 1869. He was hunted
from the vicinity of the deed into Texas,
a short time after the murder was com-
mitted, and all trace of him was
lost until he turned up as a horse-thief
from Wise county. Having served five
years in the penitentiary for this offense,
he came to this county after his sentence
had expired, and, under the assumed name
of Elmo, married a very worthy widow
near this place. He is now on his way to
Arkansas, and from all that could be
learned, he was guilty of a cold-blooded
and unprovoked murder, and if justice
sways the scales, Mr. Kemp stands a good
chance of getting a quick leap into eter-
nity.

Sherman, Oct. 7. — The democratic

11.20, and, after a wrangling and excited
session of about four hours, resolved to
make no nominations by a vote of 34 to

giving the offices of assessor, county
judge and sheriff to the greenbaekers, on
account of the number of independent

didates for comity judge, one withdrew
to-day, when he found there would Ikj
no nominations. There are only two
prominent Democratic candidates for
sheriff, and either of them, it is thought,
will poll more votes than the greenback
candidate. The assessor, the present in-
cumbent, is sure to be re-elected, lieing he
is the choice of the people outside of any
party claims. The rest of the officers
are safe, for they fight the greenbaekers
single-handed.

of Dr. J. M. Bemiss. of New Orleans
chairman; Dr. Jerome Cochran of Mobile
ami Prof. E. Lloyd Howard of Balti-
more. met to-day in the university building.
Dr. Cochran explained the method of
inquiry to be pursued, in addition to an-
swers expected to be received from per
sons to whom circulars are being sunt
these circulars embracing every possibl.
question in regard to the origin, conta
gion, or infection, spread, effects of treat
ment and results of the yellow fever, th
commission exjiects to gather an imnlcre-
am: amt of testimony by investig itir,
j>articular cases, going from house to hou?e.
making inquiries of convalescents, their
relatives and friends, examining the sani
tary condition of the foci of disease, and
in numerous other ways attempting to
clear up the ground and reach some gen
eral principles upon which a respectable
theory can be based. With this intent tho
commission spent the morning hoiu*s in
selecting from books furnished by the
board of health the names of persons and
places to be visited. No prominence is
sought to be given to selected persons;
their names will therefore be withheid
frem the public. Results of visits here-
after will be published in fhll.

Diseased Pork in Chicago.
[From uie Chicago inter-Uceaii.l
If half that is told is true there is no
plaoe in the country where hanging is so
much needed as at tho stock yards. Hogs
fetid with running sores or half dead with
disease, are knocked in the head, hastily
slaughtered and dressed, anil the meal
sold in our markets for fresh pork. The
slaughter-house owners say they are not
responsible, as they are simply employed
to do the work of killing antl dressing. A
reporter for a morning paper says one hog
was shown him with a running ulcer, in-
volving nearly the whole of one ham, yet
the owner of' the carcass insisted that all
the rest of the meat was good and sold it
in the market. Cases are mentioned where
almost the entire body was diseased,
and the carcasses sold" in the market.
It is. probably, a fact, that never be-
fore in the history of Chicago was so much
diseased pork being imposed upon her citi-
zens as now. Only the best hogs wili bear
shipment beyond this point, and, as a
eousequence, all those that are injured or
diseased must find a market here, and the
greed of men for money causes them to
sell as food, or render into lard, carcasses
that ought never to be used for anything
better than soap grease. Of course, it is
only the '•scalpers," not the first-class
dealers, who do this: but the regular
houses owe it to themselves and the whole
community that the matters complained
of be stopped. They can stop it if they
will; and if it is not stopped it will sooner
or later seriously affect their business.
There are other things beside filthy streets
that may bring disease and death to our
cUaaana.
THE "FOURTH » AT WACO.
Speeches of Judge Roberts and Sen-
ator Coke.
[Special Correspondence of the News.1
Waco, Oct. 4.—Hon. O. M. Roberts and
senator Coke arrived last evening to ful-
fill their appointment here to-day. At an
early hour the streets of Waco were en-
livened by the arrival of manv of the har-
dy farmers with their families, to take
part in the reception of Waco's guests and
listen to the speeches they were expected
to make. At 10 a. m. the reception com-
mittee, Dr. W. H. Wilkes, Dr. G. C. Mc-
Gregor, E. A. Jones, Wiley Jones, R. B.
Parrott and Byron McKeen, Esqs., as-
sembled at the McClelland hotel and es-
corted the honorable gentlemen to Mingle-
wood park, where a large concourse of cit-
izens and visitors had assembled to spend
the day with the whom the people of
Texas delight to honor.
At 11 a. m. the Oriental cornet band,
preceding a long procession, entered the
park playing the Full of Fun march. The
speakers" and invited guests ascended
the platform, when Hon. E. A. Sturgis,
mayor of Waco, introduced Hon. O. M.
Roberts, who announced himself the demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Texas—a
position unsought bv him, but tendered by
the largest convention ever held in Texas.
As such it became his duty to enlighten
the masses, and present his views of state
and national politics; especially when
there are opposing parties who strive to
build themselves up on a platform of such
principles, which if carried out would be
injurious to the people at large, while it
would build up monopolies for the benefit
of a few.
I Yom the time of Jefferson down to the
administration of Buchanan, money power
as exercised lias been disastrous to the
country at large. From 1802 to 1875 re-
publican rule had held you down by chains
of poverty, while the rulers feasted and
fattened upon the spoils.
The administration of Gov. Coke, as
compared with that of Davis, was one of
peace and prosperity. Taking into consid-
eration the necessary extraordinary ex-
penditures consequent upon tho assembling
of a constitutional convention, the border
defense, two sessions of the legislature, in-
terest on public debt and other absolute
requirements, the increase of the public
debt is not sui-prising. Gov. Coke found
the state in a condition of chaos and inno-
vation, brought about by Davis, who coil-
ducted the ait'airs of the government for
the benefit of the republican party and
ignoring the people he pretended to serve.
Now," uuder the benign influence of a
nev. constitution and an honest adminis-
tration, we are on the highway to prosper-
ity and happiness.
"There has never been, nor will ever be
but two great permanent parties in this
country—the democratic and republican
parties: the one which proves most honest,
and exerts the greatest influence for the
veifure of the people, will maintain the
ascendency. No centralization of power
will be acceptable, nor the appearance of
royalty be tolerated.
When John Adams was elected president
he put on all the insignia, and assumed the
powers of royalty, and so conducted the
atfairs of the nation as tending to central-
ize tho powers of the government. Jeffer-
son was opposed to this pretense of royal-
ty, and construed tho constitution to be at
variance with such practice. His views
being accepted by other patriots gave rise
to the democratic and state rights party,
which recognized the right of the govern-
ed to say who should be their rulers.
He had been charged with asserting that
a man, to exercise the right of voting,
should be a property holder. He is too
good a democrat for that, but believes that
all who contribute to the support, or are
protected by the government, should have
a voice in the selection of their rulers.
Such a charge he would repel with indig-
nation. He has always stood by the poor
man in the courts of the country, and will
always do so as governor, if elected. If the
young men before him were as sure of
obtaining the hands of the young ladies of
Waco in marriage, as he was of being
governor, they would be happy.
The greenbaekers, now endeavoring to
build up their party, claim to have dis-
covered the means and way of making
money out of nothing, and thus continue
the great evils of money power and mo-
uoplies.
When the know-nothing party raised its
hydra head in the north, the home ot isms,
md endeavored to plant itself on southern
soil, it was met by Wise, Wigfall and a
host of patriots who by strenuous efforts
nurlod it back to where it belonged, and
there it found an untimely grave. The
greenback party will share the same fate.
Though there are many good, true and
honest men in the partv. it is as a body
dishonest aud corrupt. They would repu-
diate the public debt of the nation and
states, ana it behooves the democratic
party to oppose such action, and save the
country from such dishonor. Were the
republican party still in power, as from
1803 to 1870, the leaders of such a move-
ment would be thrown into prison, charged
with treason.
The nominations made at Austin com
prise the names of some of tLe noblest
sons of Texas soil, selected by 1500 repre-
sentative men as the men who may be
trusted with the affairs of the government.
The greenback convention held at Waco
was badly mixed, and they nominated
men for office who joined the party be-
cause they were so sorely disappointed in
not procuring nominations or positions of
profit in the democratic ranks. These de-
luded parties will soon realize the error
they have fallen into, and desire to return
to their homes, and we will receive them
with open arms, promising not to upbraid
them for their folly, but will kill for them
the democratic fatted calf, and invite
them to partake of the feast.
History shows that capital has always
protected itself, and so it will in the future,
and any effort of the new party to repudi-
ate our debts either by congressional
action or by use ot fiat money will be dis
astrous, producing strife throughout the
land, and in 1880 Grant will a^ain occuoy
the white house. Hence, it becomes th<
interest and the duty of the south and
northwest to be united "in the conflict, and
the democratic party will triumph, as
it . should, since it has redeemed
you from the thraldou of misrule,
and placed you on the plane
of prosperity. The greenback party is not
itive to the south, but tho offspring of
tisfaction, sired by Brick Pomeroy
and fed by his deluded followers. His oc-
cupation in democratic ranks gone, he
seeks new fields of action, and stretched
his arm over Texas, deeming it the most
fruitful portion of our country to operate
in.
During the speech the judge was con-
stantly cheered. His arguments through
oat were appreciated, and proved con-
vincing to many who had become weak in
democratic faith.
At the close of judge Roberts's speech
dinner was announced, and a sumptuous
repast was awaiting tho hungry crowd,
prepared by the ladles of Waco and sur
rounding neighborhood.
Dinner over, governor Coke was intro-
duced, and delivered a characteristic
s^ieech. He was rejoiced to again meet
his friends of Waco, tihis being the ground
upon which he made )iis first political
s]>eech. In representing the old demo-
cratic party, he felt proad to stand before
the citizens of McLennan county.
It is pleasant to look back to the seven
years war, when the heroes of those days
inarched bare-footed, on frozen ground,
that they might by their efforts and suf-
ferings perpetuate"the principles for which
they fought. Those principles live to-day
and it is for the democratic party to pre-
serve them in their ouritv.
The war of 1812, resulting in driving
" " " ndu
ho might perpetuate his power, and having
failed, procured a decision of the supreme
court to the effect that the law was uncon-
stitutional, an«l then calls upon the presi-
dent for troops to overthrow the will of
the people? The democratic party is as
good a greenback party as can be wished
for. We favor the payment of United
States bonds in United States legal ten-
ders. except those bonds and the law un-
der which they were issued require their
payment in silver coin.
the refunding act of 1870 made the new
issue of bonds i>ayable in coin, but at a re-
duced rate of interest. About $1,100,000,-
000 of these bonds were exchanged, and he
holds it to be the duty of the government
to pay the same in coin. The remaining
$700,000,000 were retained by the hold-
ers. they prefering the original obligation,
with rate of interest, to be paid in the
currency of the United States, whatever
that may be.
Coeval with the 'foundation of the gov-
ernment arose two parties, one not liaving
I>erfect confidence in the cajwcity of the
}>eople for self-goxernment, desired to
build up a strong central government with
powers to restrain the people's sovereignty,
and the other with absolute confidence as
well in the conservatism as in the virtue
and wiliingness of the people. Alexander
Hamilton was the champion of the former
ideal party, and Mr. Jeffei-son of the latter,
or democratic party. Mr. Hamilton's ideas
at fh-st prevailed, but under Mr. Adams's
administration the Hamiltonian idea bore
legitimate fruit in the passage of the alien
and sedition laws, admitted now by ali
parties if acquiesced in to have involved
1 he exercise of po wei*s destructive of popu-
lar liberties. Mr. Jefferson, the fir^t
founder of the democratic party, was
borne into the presidential chair upon the
discussion arising upon the passage of these
laws, and almost uninterruptedly the party
whicn elected him have held the reins of
power and guided the destinies of the coun-
try until 1801.
the proportion of the new party is to
pay all in irredeemable paper currency.
lsthi\ right? The democratic party has
been perpetuated because it was right and
just in its dealings with ad parties, ami
to day it stands untarnished by any act of
dishonor or any repudiation of its con-
tracts.
If it were permissible to barter the faith
of the government and pay its debts in
currency, we would save only £4,000,000
in the transaction. We would not sell out
at so low a figure. No, we can comply
with the contract and pav it in silver coin.

Labor is the basis of all values, and
without labor no money could be had. and
by it alone can the nation expect to pros-

Judge Roberts having occupied more
time than he expected, Gov. Coke was
obliged to curtail his address, beginning at
8 p. m. and closing at 4}^ o clock; conse-
quently he did not allude to his adminis-
tration of state affairs or his action in the
senate, and regrets being unable to vindi-
cate himself before a Waco audience of

fairs brought against him by the leaders
of tho greenback partv. During the en-

W. W. Downs, six miles south of Waco,

A LETTER FROM A JEW.
Blijotry Meet* a Scathing Rebuke—
A11 Open Letter to tlie Hod. W. O.
Tuggle, ol LaCirange, Ga.
I have taken time to authenticate a re-
port which I beard for the fii-st time on
the evening of tho last day of the conven-
tion.
At Weil Point, in a public speech, dur-
ing your congressional campaign, and in
my "absence, you sought fur me a term
of reproach," and from your well-filled
vocabulary you selected the epithet of
Jew I
Had I served you to the extent of my
ability in yom- recent political aspirations,
and your overburdened heart had sought
relief in some exhibition of unmeasured
gratitude: had you a wealth of gifts, and
selected from your abundance your richest
offering to lay at my feet, you could not
have distinguished me more gratefully nor
honored me more highly than by proclaim-
ing me a Jew. I am proud of my lineage
and my race. In your severest censure
you caii not name an act of my life which
dishonors either, or which would mar the
character of a Christian gentleman.
I feel it an honor to be one of a race
which persecution cannot crush—whom
prejudice has in vain endeavored to sub-
due—who, despite the powers of man aud
the antagonism of the combined govern-
ments of the world, protected by the hand
of deity, have burst the temporal bonds
with wnich prejudice would have bound
them, and, after nearly nineteen centuries
of persecution, still survive as a nation
andftssert their manhood aud intelligence,
and give proof of " the divinity that stirs
within them," by having become a great
facfor in the government of mankind.
Would you honor me ' Call me Jew!
Would you place in unenviable prominence
unchristian prejudices and narrow
•try i Call me Jew!
ould you offer a living example of a
mail into whose educated mind toleration

Your narrow and benighted mind, pan-
dering to the prejudices of your auditory,
has attempted to taunt me by calling me
a Jew—one of that peculiar people at
whose altars, according to the teachings
of your theological masters, God chose
that His Son should worship'.
Strike out the nationality of Judea. and
you would look in vain for Christ and His
apostles. Strike out of sacred hLstory the
teachings of the Jews, and you would be
as ignorant of God and the soul's immor-
tal mission as you are of the duties and
amenities of social life.

The Passaic Iron ^1111* Destroyed.
Paterson, N. J..'Oct. 7.—The Passaic
rolling mills of this city, wooden buildings
covering about five acres, caught fire last
night at alxrat 11 o'clock, the flames spread-
ing rapidly. There were at least four acres
of flame, which, with bursting boilers,
crashing timbers and the thud of heavy
iron falling, made the scene intensely ex-
citing. The mill was close alongside the
Erie railroad track, and attempts were
made to run the 10 o'clock train from
New York past; but the fire was so fierce
that the train had to be backed out of its
reach. There was almost a panic among
the passengers, who jumped from the
train, thinking they were lost. The fire
was got under control about midnight.
Two-thirds of the mill was destroyed.
Loss. $75,000 to $! 00,000. The mill was
making iron work for the New York ele-
vated railroad. Seven hundred employes
are deprived of work. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

CHALLENGES COMPARISON—THE NEWS
BINDERY challenges comparison of work,
both for quality of material and elegance or
back tho invader, was conducted under
democratic rule. That of 184M, resulting
in planting the United States flag upon the
domes of the Montezumas, enriching the
country and increasing her population,
was also conducted bv the democratic
party, and during all these long years the
great w rit of habeas corpus was never
suspended. (Cheers.) The democratic
party is not sectional, but embraces every
part of our land: protects our citizens on
the high seas aud in foreign countries. On
the perpetuation of this party depends the
future prosperity of our nation.
When the war of secession was over all
was dark and gloomy, the clouds of trial
lowered, but in time the principles of con-
stitutional liberty, which principles thft
democratic party had secured to the peo-
ple: after the clouds a bright ray of hope
tinged the horizon, and from time to time
it has brightened, until now we have a
clear sky, and joy and happiness are over-
spreading the land.
But now comes a child three months old,
called the greenback party, who assumes
to dictate how the future interest of this
great nation shall l>e conducted. The
leaders of this party come to us masked in
Dolly Varden cotton, assuming to entice
away the members of the centennial patty.
But we raise the mask, and under its folds
we uiscovor the face of Edmond J. Davis:
raise another and behold DeOress: and
vet another, and here is Tracy.
Further on we disclose the faces
of disappointed negroes, and cf this ma-
tt ial is this greenback party composed
here in Texas. In the perspective we see
Hamman rising up and striving for politi-
cal position. If a correct count could be
had, 90 per cent, of this new party would
be found to be radicals—members of the
old crew, to whom we are indebted for
many years of misrule. Is it true policy
for you to dismiss your old, tried, and
honest servant, for one unknown, except
in impo>ing evils upon you under the
leadership of those we have unmasked i
There are many democrats who have been
deluded by this party with whom n-e fod
no fault, and believe they will soon return
to their first love, and stay at home in
future, after seeking the deepest hole irf
the Brazos, and inhere wash off the odor
with which they have become contami-
nated by their association with this evil
crew.
Can yon trust your interests to such a
leader as Edmund J. Davis, who, in 1873,
procured a change in the election laws that
Tbe Saratoga Convention and the
Memory of Lincoln.
[From the New York World.]
Tho onlv bit of real oratorical skill
which Conkling showed at the Saratoga
convention was when, having named Lin-
coln and the audience failing to respond,
he lowered his voice to a pathetic tone to
say that he never wished to see the day
when that name could be spoken in a re-
publican meeting without receiving suita-
ble recognition. Instantly the convention
acknowledged the reproot by the rising of
its members, while that indescribable
movement that parliamentary reporters
call " sensation" ran over the assemblage.
Yet the effect of the manifestation was
marred by reason of its evidently
manufactured quality, which recalls
a story which Tom Corwin, of Ohio, was
wont to tell of himself. He had finished
one of his remarkable stump speeches
when—and before the audience had quite
recovered from its magnetic influence, but
stood silent as hoping for more—a man
cried: '* Three cheers." The chairman was
versed in Jeilerson's manual and mechan-
ically said: " All who are in favor of three
cheers for the honorable Thomas Corwin
will say aye."' The chairman was greet-
ed with a tornado of ayes. " Any opposed
willsavno.'' One bitter enemy vocifera-
ted 44 No." " Carried," added the chair-
man. amid roars of laughter. But Cor-
win always added: " But to this day I have
never forgotten the cheers that were voted
to me." Many who were at the Saratoga
convention may long remember that they

You are not created without a purpose;

trast of light and shade. Humanity illus-
trates its brightest and noblest examples
by placing its most perfect models in jux-
taposition with the meanest specimens of
mankind. So that you have the consola-
