PUBLIC ISSUES.
Altlotigi! it wili 0e more than a year be
fore another state election will ocanrin
South Carolina the Charleston News and
Courier has commenced to serve notice
npon political aspirants that they must
3sett the people acd discuss the leading
5«ues ol the day before asking nominations
for office. It regards with disfavor the
policy of nominating candidates for office
end then building a platform to suit them,
and declares: "l'here must be an end to
back door politics, and the time has come
when the people must make their own
fJatee, irrespective of the wishes and de-
signs of personal caucuses." This will ap-
ply with equal force to contests for sUte
•_ ffice in Texas. In the main the peo-
ple have had very little opportunity for
acquaintance with the qualifications or
views of those whom they have been called
npon to elect to Important public positions.
With occasional exceptions successful as-
pirants have relied mainly upon person*!
agents throughout the state to "fix" county
delegations to the nominating conven-
tions, and by this system of back door
manipulation have managed to get their
names upon the regular ticket of the
tfominant party, which is of course equiva.
lent to an election. In this way
men have been chosen for important public
trusts in Texas who were not only untried
hut absolutely unknown to the masses of
Toters who under duress of partisan obli-
gation felt constrained to vote for them;
It matters not for the purpose of this argu-
ment whether men elected in this way have
made good or bad officers. If they have
proved capable and faithful the people have
to that extent been lucky, for it can be notU-
3xig better than luck when a blind choice of
public officers results in faithful and effi
cient service. A man to be fit tor any con-
siderable state office with a ma-
terial bearing upon the management of
state afiairs must have certain vie^s
upon the leading questions of state policy.
This being true, it follows as a matter of
the utmost importance that the people
should be enlightened as to the vieiva a,s
well as the qualifications of candidates. It
may be reasonably held that there is no
occasion for a candidate for comptroller or
land commissioner as such to commit hial
self touching tariff revision and otneir ques-
tions of national policy, bat it can not be
reasonably maintained that the public has
no concern as to the views of candidates
for either of these offices upoa ques-
tions of state policy. Under our state
system of government each department is
independent of the chief executive, and its
head officer is responsible only to the peo-
ple. The scope of his duties is narrower
end his official jurisdiction more circuoa
scribed than those pertaining to the oiiise
of the governor, but so f ar as they extend
they may involve matters of as great con-
cern to the people. Indeed it is possible
for the heads of subordinate departments,
either from willful opposition or helpless
incapacity, to embarrass the governor
in many measures of administra
live policy, however wise or popular
they might be. How important then that
*le people should occupy relations of
perfect confidence with all their public
agents. This condition can exist only when
they adopt the rule of having an und6r-
EtaLdiug with those agents before delegat-
ing power to them. No one should be
xominated without first being required to
mate known his views at least upon impor-
tant questions of state policy. There
are plenty of these questions to be
discussed. There are suOjects relat-
iig to state finances, public edu-
cation, the assessment and taxation
*>f property, the school lands, the state
militia, and many others which affect the
public welfare and upon which the princi-
pal state officers will officially or personally
have more or less to do in shaping the pub-
he policy. There should be a stop pus to
the loose jointed way of electing men to
.office who represent nothing. It is a bad
case of buying the metaphorical pig ia a
poke. Personal politics is not consistent
with a system of responsible representa-
tive government. Let all candidates be
compelled to go before the people and an-
ronce their positions upon public ques-
tions btfore Seitg trusted with official
positions.
7 WO IX TLliESUXii CASES.
/ lie United States supreme court which
convened Monday wiil have before it two
Interesting cases arising under the prohi-
bition law of Kansas. They are the cases
vt Peter Mugler vs. the State of Kansas.
Muflei was a brewer and was indicted in a
state court in J£8l, immediately after the
Kansas law went into operation,
on the two charges of manufac-
tniiig and selling beer. The case3
Vere 4ried Upon au agreed statement
in which St was admitted that beer is an
intoxicating drink. The defendant, being
convicted and fined, appealed to the sn-
pr» me oourt of the state, whiah affirmed
ite jtirgments of theIoivercourt. Thecases
wiethen carried to the United States sa-
j-r»me court on a »rit of error, Magler be-
iig represented by Senator Vest of Mis-
sion atd the stete bj its attorney general.
In tti&.f ( f ilcgler it is uotdenied that the
stfrte hep the right to prohibit the sale
or taster ot !iq tors within the
state. but it is contended that
lie state could not rightfully prevent
a person from brewing oeer for his own
consumption or for export, and it wa3 not
proved in the trial upon which lliglsr
was convicted of brewiag that he breved
for the purpose of sale or barter to citizens
of Kansas within the state. The arguments
is the case in which he was convicted for
selliig Involve different poluts, but are
a7so interesting, The bri9f in behalf of
Wt:p!er sets forth that in 1877 he built a
brewery, which is worth *10,000, for brev-
irg purposes, but not worth more thin
•ii'S'.'J tor any other purpose. Hi claims
that he has thus by the prohibitory
statute been deprived of $7300 worth of
property without compensation or due uro-
cele ot law and in violation of the constitu-
tion. The state replies that the rigit of
Mugler to make beer was aivdys a asre
privilege, a defeasible right, the anWag
ard vending ol liquors having albeen
covered by the police powers of the sta :e,
und that Mtigier had no cause of complaiat
vlen the elate ceased to permit hin
to brew and sel1. According to
Peaator Vest no decision has ye' oeea ren-
dered by the Uziited M ites .-jur e vs-.nh de
ferxBires the question wsetber tan !-»pre x-
tlon of the value of the brewery !n tali in-
ttnuee amounted to an unojnstl'.n'naal
confiscation of property. The decision ; in
these cases will be looked forward to with
interest, as they will not only affect the
validity of the prohibitory provision In the
Kansas constitution, but will have an in-
fluence in connection with the prohibition
contests of the future. - Mugler is not a
classical name, but there is at least a possi-
bility of its becoming historical.
An official list just completed at the Unitea
States pension office shows that there are
on the pension rolls thirty-five widows ot
revolutionary soldiers. The revolutionary
war having ended more than a hundred
years ago, it seems remarkable that there
are still surviving so many widows of sol-
diers who participated in It But then pen-
sion lists usually diminish very slowly.
Indeed, the number of pensioners from the
late war are constantly increasing instead
of growing less.
A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-Journal writing from Atlanta pros-
pectively outlines the contest that is im-
pending In Georgia between the protection-
ists and the friends of tariff reform. He
alleges that the war by the protectionists
against the re-election of Senator Colquitt is
being pushed with vigor. The Macon Tel-
egraph has been fully reorganized, with
Mr. Frank H, Hichardson, formerly a Wash-
ington correspondent, as editor-in-chief.
It will advocate Senator- Colquitt's re-elec-
tion, and will at once undertake to arouse
the people to see to it that the dele-
gates to the next democratic state
convention be committed to Mr. Carlisle's
idea of tariff reform. The issue is to be
made in every county and will be involved
in the choice of delegates to the national
convention. It has been decided that the
revenue reformers, in order to hold their
forces together, should secure state offices
as well as federal, and in furtherance of
this policy it is now understood that Hon,
James H Blount will not offer for re-elec-
tion to congress, but will contest with Gov-
ernor Gordon for the gubernatorial noml
nation. This all gives promise of a lively
and interesting campaign ia Georgia, and
one that is apt to be productive of good re-
sults. When a direct issue is made upon
the tariff question it will not take the peo-
ple long to understand who realize the ben-
efits of the exorbitant taxes they are re
quired to pay under the protective system.
A Texas prohibition paper that recently
assailed Jefferson Davis is getting consid-
erable prominence in the northern press.
The enemies of Mr. Davis in the north are
credulous indeed if they accept such ex
pressions as representative of the general
sentiment in the south. The paper referred
to above attacked Mr. Davis on account ot
the views he expressed on the prohibition
question. Those views were, however, ia
dorsed bvan overwhelming majority of the
voters of the state.
Heads of state departments are iwl
called upon to discuss the practicability of
a state law with subordinate officers when
directing them as to fheir duties under its
provisions. It is enough to submit the law
with such explanation of its provisions and
of the requirements of the department under
them as may be deemed necessary. It Is
time enough for a superior officer to apolo-
gize for the failure of his subordinates to
comply with the law after they have made
an honest effort in that direction. When
an elective state official starts out by dis-
paraging a legislative enactment relating
to the duties of his position, it is expecting
a great deal to presume that county officials
will regard it with much respect.
The Louisville Courier Journal says: "A
patent for a pie safe has just been issued to
a Texas lady. The American people will
rise up and do honor to this energetic
woman. Whatever is designed to protect
American pie will be received with enthusi-
asm wherever the old flag flies."
Not long ago the Atlanta Constitution
was bemoaning the tate of Georgians who
had moved to Texas and warning others
against such a move. Texas has drouths
occasionally, but nobody has been heard of
who would give away 100,000 acres of Texas
land. The poorest land in the drouth sec-
tion is worth paying taxes on.
THt STATE PRESS.
What the Papers Throughout Texas are
Talking About.
A correspondent ot the Uvalde News
gives some account of a town and couaty
not very well known beyond southwestern
Texas:
Cotulla, the county seat of La Salle coun-
ty, is situated on the International and
Great Northern railroad, ninety miles south
of San Antonio. The site is an attractive
ore. The public buildings, court-house and
jail, are elegant. Cotulla has two church-
houses -Methodlstand catholic.The Baptists
have no house of worship. The M9thodists
are perhaps the most numerous. The Bap-
tists, in itfluence and wealth, have at least
respectable standing. There are two Sun-
day schools. The crowning glory ot Co-
tulla is its schools. The schooi edifice ia a
good one and well designed. There are In
the institution 100 pupils, besides those over
and order the scholastic age.
The Floresville Chronicle says:
It seems to be unanimously conceded by
the western Texas newspapers that the next
democratic state convention should be held
fn San Antonio.
The Dallas Times says:
If northern Texas is to be recognized as
having any rights in such matters, Dallas
must have the convention.
The Times says:
Thk News is a great newspaoer and the
leading people want it and will have it. it
can do the cause of religion and religlrag
people no harm.
The Waco Day beams mildly:
Btlo's two twins, known as Thk Galves-
ton atd Dallas News, have lately had a
hard time dodging the wrath of the right-
eous and avoiding the pitfalls put in its
path by the pious. First, they escaped the
cur.day law by the sTtiu of their teeth aud
the favor ot Judge Gustave Cook; then they
missed by a mere hair's breadth going
tender a boycot for abuse of Brother arigg-j,
and finally they were struck on their beam
ends by Evangelist Fenn's prayer3, which,
though wafted with the zephvr's breath ot
brotherly kindness, yet concealed the fury
of a cyclone that hoped to wreck aud rata.
Yet Belo's twins still survive: as Brottte:'
Sterret would say, they are "tuff," and wiil
be here long after the wicked cea-is fr vxi
troubling and the weary are at rest, for
they are "built that way."
The Msrlin Ball says:
Galveston is the place for the next demo-
cratic state convention. Tnere tire some
"leading" democrats lu the stats who win
cesd a good healthy salt water bath oaforo
their credentials will pass muster.
The Sail remarks:
The Baptist state convention in session

shoot by the controversy between lie?.
Mr. Briggt ard Tan News. jvitu wa':';
however, we can not see that the Baptist
ehurrbhas anything to do. Sime of toe
more level headed and conservative mem-
bers of the meeting protested against the
resolution and it was withdrawn. We
should regret to see the Baptist church ot
the state place Itself in sutm a ridiculous
attitude f.s that to which the resolutions
wcnld have committed it.
The Kerrville Eve says:
If the Sunday law would apply to news
papers not a morning paper in the state
could get out a paper on Sunday or Mon-
day.
The Eye acted as a cicerone to the late
visitors to Iierrville. It says:
Visitors to Kerrville open your mouths
aid drink Id, in deep draughts, the ozone of
this mountain retreat. It will do yon good.
....If you want to catch afinetroator
catfish get in a hack and drive up the river
three or four miles and castyonr hook upon

take their girls a walk and who would like
to gaze upon as magnificent a picture as
can be seen In all Texas just take your
barbecuegrour.de, cross the Guadalupe by
the mill and climb the highest peak. Those
who take this walk will be amply rewarded.
To the top of the .hill is about one mile from
tie depot.
The Eye devotes a column td the descrip-
tion of the town and county.
The Marlln Bail remarks:
The absurd prosecution of The Galves-
ton News for violation of the Sunday law
has been settled very effectually by Jadge
Cook. Judge Cook decided that the Sunday
lay.
managirg editor, Colonel Lowe, was
promptly discharged. Any one with a
grain of sense knows that the operation ot
the Sunday law does not apply to news-
papers. The action against The News was
simply malicious because that paper advo-
cated the enforcement of the Sunday law.
The San Antonio Times is forced to say:
It is painfully true that the union of re-
ligion and politics is a most unholy alli-
ance, and productive of more trouble than
any other combination that could possibly
be made, but we shall possibly see such a
union in this country. We have already
seen it in Texas.
Mexico either has laws unknowa In this
country or her judicial officers make the
•law to suit cases. The Laredo Times says:
Major Jules Handle, proprietor of the
Topo Chico batb house, spring, etc., was
fined +200 in Monterey last Monday. It
seems there was a large number of Mon-
terey people at the springs on Sunday. Ia
the evenirg when all bat the last street car
had gone back to the city with the people
Major Handle went over the premises at
the springs to ascertain if any residents of
Monterey had been left behind. None
could be found, and the car departed for
town. In spite of these precautious on the
part of Major Handle some party, undoubt-
edly an enemy, reported to the authorities
that they had been left at Topo Chico aud
were compelled to walk in. The authorities
suamoned Major Handle, and without al-
lowing him any defense fined him ^200.
When people get left in Texas It is gen-
erally imputed to their own faults, unless
cars are advertised to leave at a certain
hour and go before the time stated. Then
the remedy would be a suit for damages.
The Alvarado Bulletin says:
The Baptist convention at Dallas last
week resoluted in favor of praying for the
editors of The Dallas and Galveston
News. If there is not a chnnge in the
religions tone of The G.-D. News, and that
very soon, the religions people will be dis-
appointed.
The Flatonia Argus remarks:
The Marshall Messenger publishes por-
traits of the condemned anarchists. The
pictures confirm the public in the opinion
ihat they ought to die, and we honestly be-
lieve that if they could realize their own
utter hideousness they would decline a par-
don from the execntive authority.
KEW YOEK REPUBLICANS.
They Make a Sickly Attempt to Free Them-
selves from Their Prohibition Brethren.
New Yoke, October 9.—The Kepublican
club of the city of New York held a meet-
ing at Chickering hall last night, to ratify
the nominations made at the Saratoga con-
vention. James P. Foster, president of the
club, occupied the chair. Among those on
the stage were Pacific Hailway Commis-
sioner Littler, Colonel Fred D. Grant, Jesse
D. Grant and U. S. Grant. Several of the
speakers denounced the prohibitionists as
playing into the hands of the democrats.
Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, after speaking strong-
ly in favor of Colonel Fred D. Grant, can-
didate for secretary of state, said, among
other things: "We have a new congress.
The democrats have a majority of twelve in
tue lower brancn, but wnat does that ma
jority amount to as against the united,
intelligent trained minority of republicans,
Who are the strongest party in the country
to-daj} We have reversed Virginia. We
are stronger in our votes and in oar pria
ciplee. The democrats did not elect the
lust president. It was the republicans."
Speaking of the prohibitionists Senator
Evarts said they were reaching out for
laws that can not be executed.
Repeated calls for Colonel Grant bro tght
hiiatohis feet. He said: "You know that
my speeches are always short, out I want
to eay how proud 1 am to bear the name
which you have honored, and should I be
eltcte-d in November I will faithfully per-
form the duties imposed upon me."
ABDIlIONfiL CROP REPOSTS.
COMANCHE COUNTY.
L'c vanche,October 9.--The acreage of cot-
ton planted this year was at least 35 per
cer.t more than last. This county will make
this year 25 per cent more cotton than last
year. Over one haif the coton made last
year was made off top crop; the fall rains
made it. There were fall rains this year,
but there is no crop on account of the cot-
ton worms destroying it. Tne worms have
destroyed more than half the cottoa crop
this year. The cotton was in fiie ondi-
tion, and is yet except the top crop, whic'a
is ruined,
nacogdoches county.
Naccgdochbs, October 9.—The crop will
be short at least 15 per cent of last year.
About 60j?er cent of the crop is gathered.
About 25 per cent is marketed. We made
11,000 bales la6t year.
Texas Surplus.
The state of Texas is in luck this year ia
its tax collections, and has more money in
its treasury than it knows what to do with.
The comptroller in his final report estimates
the revenue from all sources at 12,050,090,
but it seems that it reached $,375,000, or
JK25,000 over the estimate. This is princi-
pally due to the promptness of tax-collejr-
ors and the large collection of back taxes.
The farmers of Texa3 aro in a prosperous
condition this year, and are able to pay all
their old debts to'the state. Much o£ tae
Improvement is also attributable to this ex
cellent legislation of the legislature, both iu
the matter of apnropriatioas aud in ci- or.-,,
visions made for forcing prompt aoeoniitv
bility from tax-collectors, and its land m > n

NLWSY NAVASOTA NOTES.
ANOTHER 1UDGE AFTER EVILDOERS,
Garrblerf, "Pisfol-Tolers" and Sunday-Law
Breakers Must Be Punished-The Death
of Dr. Gcrfe-Large Newspaper.
Navasota, Tex., October 9 —District court
convened at Anderson Monday, the 3i in-
stant. Judge Norman G. Klttrell gave a
pointed and forcible charge to the grand
jury. He charged them that they shonld
make diligent inquiry Into the mobbing of
the young negro who wounded Oftioer U o-
church in north Grimes several month3
since; that such mobbing was murder, and
every man participating in it should be in-
dicted and puniBhed therefor; that there
was no excuse for mob violence In our
county, as the laws were well enforced.
He directed special attention to violations
of the law against carrying deadly
weapons, saying there was no excuse for it,
that this was a civilized and peaceable
county, and he nrged indictments for every
violation of it, though he regretted the
limit of imprisonment was not ninety in-
stead of twenty days.
He charged tbem that druggists had no
more right to sell anything else than drags
on Sunday than any other dealer, and In-
structed the grand jury to Indict in every
instance where druggists had sold tobacco,
cigars, soda water, or anything else than
medicine.
He was especially severe on gambling
and gamblers. He said gamblers ran their
business in bold deflance of law, and grew
rich and dressed in gorgeous apparel, yet
were rarely molested or punished, while
mariy constables who could not discover a
gambling saloon were always realy and
anxious to pounce upon some poor wretch
without money and imprison him. That
gamblers corrupted the youth of the land,
bred vice and crime, yet enjoyed greater
immunity from prosecution than any other
class ot offenders. He wanted to see the
law so enforced that the gambler in broad-
cloth and the beggar in rags would stand
alike before the law ia Grimes county at
least.
He said the Sunday law was a wise, salu
tary and wholesome law, in accord with the
sentiments of civilized and christian socie-
ty, and that saloonmen and all other men,
natives and foreigners, Bhould be com
pelled to obey it. That where a saloonman
or any other dealer ran his business ia de-
fiance of law on Sunday—calculating that
tnev could afford to pay the fiaeoaMm
da%—they should receive the highest pea-
alt'y; and where an officer in such cases
assested the lowest penalty, he was ni
better than tbe offender and wa3 unHt to
hold his office.
The judge did not touch upon the question
of newspapers, as there are no daily papers
in his district, but he is understood to agree
fully with Judge Cook's view of the law as
expressed in the same case.
a deep gloom has been cast over this en-
tire community by the death of Dr. L. J.
Goree. He was universally honored and
esteemed and was a most exemplary citi-
zen in every relation of life. He was a
brave soldier in Hood's Texas brigade, and
a member of the American Legion of
Honor, Knights of Honor, and Knignts and
Ladies 'of Honor, the lodge of the latter
order here being named in his honor. His
distinguished brother, Major Thos. J.
Goree of Huntsviile; his half-sister, Mrs.
Norman G. Kittrell, and his own wife and
six children were present at his death, aud
surrounded by them there peacefully passed
away from earth the soul of as noble a
man as ever lived.
The last issue of the Navasota Tablet was
the largest paper ever gotten out in Grimes
county—twelve pages, all filled with inter-
esting reading matter. Three thousand
extra copies of this special edition were
gratuitously distributed throughout the
state.
