The Bosque Citizen nominates
Mayor W. C. Connor, of Dallas, for
governor.
If the present congress will only
get rid of tie Greer county boun-
dary question it will liave accom-
plished a great ileal in the estima-
tion of Texans.
The Louisville Couiier-Journal
suggests that if there are any more
of Harrison's kinfolks who have not
yet been provided for they had bet-
ter speak up, as one year of his ad-
ministration has nearly passed.
Mas. John and Kate Bender are
still being held as prisoners iu a
Missouri jail on suspicion of being
members of the notorious Bender
gang, whose murderous deeds, com-
mitted years ago, are still fresh in
mind. _
The Banner was of the impression
that McGin^y, celebrated in recent
song and story, was a mythical
character, but a Han Antonio paper
announces his death as if he had
gone the way of ordinary mortals.
The Hogg-Hall controversy has
found its way into print again, as
was to have been expected. The pa-
pers which are burdening their col-
umns with the interminable commu-
nications assert that nothing new is
brought out in the discussion. Then
why publish them ?
Bubke, the fugitive ex-treasurer
of Louisiana, stiU maintains that ho
has done no intentional wrong, and
writes to friends in New Orleans
that he will return from Honduras
about the last of March. This will
give the papers a chance to perpe-
trate an April fool joke.
An exchange says that just before
Henry Grady, the apostle of protec-
tion in the South, died he wrote a
letter to Henry Watterson, the
champion of the Southern tariff re-
form side, acknowledging his error
in advocating protection and de-
claring his conversion to tariff re-
form.
The Alvarado Bulletin is one of
the most level-headed and spicy
weekly papers in the state, and
knows a good thing when it sees it.
Hence the Bulletin obsesves. "Al-
ways among the very best, the
Brenham Banner of January 2nd
was a model paper and one of which
its clever management should be
proud."
While the location of the world's
fair is not to be determined on polit-
ical-sectional lines, yet the Southern
congressmen propose to make a po-
litical matter of it by not voting for
any place whose congressmen shall
vote to establish federal supervision
over elections in the South. And
they are right.
The Banner is iu receipt of a
pamphlet entittled "High Private's
Confederate Letters," containing the
letters written by Mr. R. R. Gilbert
for the Houston Telegraph during
the war. The price of the book is
50 cents, and one-fourth of the net
proceeds derived from the sale of it
will be donated to the "Confederate
Home" at Austin.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion in regard to the schemes of
Senators Butler and Call for the de-
portation of the colored people.
The majority of the papers, however,
appear to think that the agitation of
so many measures at this time, and
coming from Southern members of
congress, too, is inopportune and
calculated to help the attempt to es-
tablish federal supervision in elec-
tions.
If anybody is not thoroughly con-
vinced of the complete harmony ex-
isting in the republican party just
let him cast his eye in the direction
of the national capital and take a
look at the warring gangs from the
various points assembled in war-
paint and feathers and with tomma-
lawks in hand trying to scalp Harri-
s's appointees by preventing their
jonnnnation in the United States
senate.
Mb. Sax Maverick, one of the
vealtbiest and most philanthropic
nen in San Antonio, has donated to
he city council of that ancient mu-
nicipality the sum of five thousand
lollars, to be used in erecting pub-
ic bath-houses along the river for
he convenience of poor people. Mr.
iaverick is one of nature's noble-
aen and does not make benefactions
imply for the purpose of having his
ame paraded before the public or
o secure notoriety for the sake of
erving some purpose, as many so - i only is the number of failures larger,
-died philanthropists do. He is as j but that the amount of liabilties is
greater. And what is still
takim; it coolly.
On Christmas eve between thirty
and forty of the best citizens of
Richmond and of Fort Bend county
—most of whom had been residents
of the locality for many years and
some of whom, although gray-head-
ed had been born and reared in the
county, had spent their whole lives
there, and were morally and in every
other way above reproach—were
dragged from their homes and taken
by a United States official to Galves-
ton to answer before the federal
court for the crime of murder. With-
out solicitation the leading business
men of Galveston and Houston were
on hand ere they had arrived at their
destination ready, willing and anx-
ious to go on their bonds. The
bonds amounted to over a million
dollars, but were given as fast as
they could be made out, and could
have been given as easily if they
had amounted to ten times as much
more. More than three weeks have
elapsed since this outrage was com-
mitted, and the Banner can not but
feel thoroughly amazed and astound-
ed that it could have been perpe-
trated without the press of the state
voicing its indignation as one man
at so gross a violation of the rights
and liberties of these citizens. So
far the matter has been treated with
the utmost indifference and has
scarcely received a passing com-
ment. Some of the papers have
published the outrage simply as a
matter of news, as th< y would have
chronicled the arrest .f an ordinary
horsethief of whose ^uilt there was
no doubt. But when the best citi-
zens of a community are arrested by
wholesale, and the outrage is made
more conspicious and is made to at-
tract wider attention, because perpe-
trated at a time of rejoicing when
everybody else were in the midst of
the annual festivities and enjoying
family reunions, and no indignant
protest is raised by the press, the
victims of the outrage have a right
to feel keenly mortified and humi-
liated. The press has treated them
tacitly as criminals by withholding
its protest and its censure. Capt.
P. P. Pearson, one of the parties ar-
rested on the charge of murder, is
known to every lawyer in the state
who has ever practiced in the su-
preme court, and takes rank with the
leading citizens of Texas. The oth-
er citizens arrested are equally as
respectable. If they had not been
citizens above reproach the leading
merchants and business men of
Houston and Galveston would not
have voluntarily come to their assis-
tance. These citizens of Fort Bend
county could have stood being sued
by an outlawed negro ex-official for
civil damages in the federal court.
They were ready to answer that
suit, but when they are indicted as
common criminals and as murderers
by a pliant federal grand jury, when
there is no law and no precedent for
such a high-handed outrage, and
when there is not even the poor ex-
cuse that the alleged murders were
committed during an election, they
had a right to expect that their fel
low-citizens and the press through-
out the state should becomb inter-
ested in their behalf. It is an out-
rage against the whole state of Tex-
as, and may at any future date be
attempted in any county or locality.
The laws of Texas provide for the
punishment of the crime of murder
and the federal government has no
right to interfere with the execution
of the laws or to take tli6 matter in
its own hands, even if the killing
had taken place at the polls or dur-
ing an election campaign. But there
was no campaign in progress. The
matter ought to be and no doubt
will be thoroughly investigated at
Washington, and if the man in the
White House or his advisers had
anything to do with instigating the
proceedings that fact will be made
known. Or if it was a piece of mal-
ice aud spite work on the part of the
United States marshal, who formerly
lived in Fort Bend counly, it will be
ventilated.
greatly increase their prosperity.
The total failures in Boston last
year, under the first year of Harri-
son's administration reached in the
amount of liabilities $16,130,634, as
against $4,044,412 during the last
year of Grover Cleveland's adminis-
tration. The increase in Rhode Is-
land is still more marked, being
from $1,226,880 to $10,048,642—
more than eightfold, and in Philadel-
phia from $3,650,030 to $9,886,227.
The New England states, which are
more exclusively devoted to the
manufacturing interests that are pro-
tected, show the biggest increase in
the number of failures, while the
Southern states, which are the least
devoted to manufacturing pursuits,
show a decrease from $21,4-12,120 to
$19,777,941. At the beginning of
the last year of the Cleveland admin-
istration his re-election was consid-
ered a foregone conclusion and the
idea of the republicans regaining
control of the government was ridi-
culed. And yet with the full belief
in the expectation of at least four
more years of democratic rule ahead
there were from two or three to
eightfold less failures under the last
year of Cleveland's administration
than under the first year of Harri-
son's. This proves conclusively that
the people were becoming educated
on the tariff and that the democratic
party was beginning to inspire
greater confidence. And if it had
been left to the people to say Grover
Cleveland would have been president
to-day. He did receive the popular
majority, but was defeated by boo-
dle, corruption and bull-dozing in the
northern and eastern factories. Of
course tho republicans will contend
that the tariff had nothing to do
with the increased number of fail-
ures. If so they will have to give
up their demagogic, clap-trap argu-
ment which they used ui the last
campaign to secure votes and will
have to resort to some other line of
argument.
THE OOOD TIMES THAT HAVEN'T
COME.
According to the prophesies made
by the protectionist orators on the
stump in the presidential campaign
of 188S and according to their rosy
predictions and specious promises,
the people who were deluded and
ensnared into voting for the republi-
can candidate had a right to expect
that the year just closed would at
least show a greater degree of pros-
perity than during the democratic
administration, if it didn't fill every
poor workingman's pocket with gold
and put an end to strikes and labor
troubles. But there is a vast differ-
ence between promise and perform-
ance, in theory an 1 practice and in
prophesy and fulfillment. The an-
nual report of Bradstreet's shows
that the number of business failures
during the first year of the Harrison
administration was greater than dur-
ing any one of the four years of
President Cleveland's, and that not
DEATH OF JUDGE KELLEY.
The death of this distinguished
congressman from Pennsylvania,
who was known as the "father of the
house" by reason of his long and
continuous service in that body, oc-
curred at the national capital last
Thursday evening, aud it is safe to
say that his demise is not more
genuinely regretted by the members
of his own political faith than by
the democrats. For, although he
was diametrically opposed to them'
upon the leading issue which now
divides the two great parties and
had made the doctrine of protection
his life study and had warmly up-
held, defended and asserted his be-
lief in the doctrine, yet he was en-
tirely devoid of that narrow-minded
and detestable characteristic of the
republican party. His was a broad
and generous nature, free from the
dictates or influence of selfishness.
He was no hired advocate of protec-
tion and did not subscribe to it in
the interest of monopolists. Al-
though a straight-out extremist in
its advocacy, he denounced section-
alism even in the operation and
workings of the tariff. He favored
a national tariff and opposed the
policy so frequently attempted and
proposed by his republican confreres
of making the tariff a means of
benefitting the North at the expense
of the South. In fact he was warm-
ly interested (not through pecuniary
motives) in this section, paid it a
visit a few years ago and declared
himself as being completely carried
away with its resources and advan-
tages, and predicted for it a brilliant
future. If all of the republicans
had been as broad and as liberal as
he and had been as free from monop-
olistic and sectional influence as he
in their advocacy of the tax-robbing
system they would have made much
greater headway in inculcating that
false policy and in gaining converts
to it. Judge Kelley was born in the
"City of Brotherly Love" in 1814 and
was 75 years old at his death. He

more as-
tonishing from a protectionist, high-
tariff point of view, the greatest
number of failures oocurred in the
manufacturing districts where it was
contended that the aegis of the tariff
would not only secure the "protec-
ted" interests trom loss, but would
sion. Simply because he does not
approve of the Australian ballot sys-
tem or of the late Saxton bill, with
the provisions of which we acknowl-
edge that we are not familiar, is no
reason why the governor should be
charged with hostility to honest elec-
tions. The political situation in
New York is somewhat peculiar, and
while the Australia Fallot system
may do for some sections and some
states it may not do for that state.
The corruption and unfairness of
elections in New York, as the gov-
ernor states, arise from wholesale in-
timidation of employes in the manu-
facturing centers by their employ-
ers. The democrats in the northern
states have far less to lose and much
more to gain by fair elections than
the republicans have, and, therefore,
David B. Hill cannot be so short-
sighted as to place himself in hostili-
ty to election reform. But, as he
says, it does not follow, that because
the Australian system seems to be
well adapted to Australia and to
England and is superior to systems
previously in vogue there, it can be
appropriately applied to our country
without material modifications. This
is shown by the result in Montana,
where the Australian ballot system
has been adopted, and where the
first state election occurred under it
last fall. It did not prevent corrup-
tion or the counting out of votes
and falsely returning of a republican
majority to the legislature. The
principal feature about the Austral-
ian system is that it secures, or is
supposed to secure secrecy of ballot.
The governor's message recommends
that secret compartments be provid-
ed for the voter. In our opinion
secrecy of the ballot and compart-
ment voting would not only prevent
the ignorant from being voted like
sheep, but would prevent intimida-
tion and bribery to a very large ex-
tent. Gov. Hill is by no means a
political saint, nor does he tower
over the heads and shoulders of
other great men in the democratic
party, but he has been the mark of
a great deal of unfair and unjust
criticism. The fact that he broadly
proclaims himself a democrat and
does not take any stock in mug-
wumps nor toady to them ought to
go a long way in extenuating what-
ever faults he may possess.
impossible for any bill or
i public measure to emanate iYom tuat
| side of the house which does not
propose some paternalistic pian or
scheme. Iu line with the Blair edu-
cational bill, and others of its class,
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, has
given notice of his attention to in-
troduce a bill providing for the es-
tablishment of a national university
at Washington. Naturally, and as
was to have been expected, the re-
publican organs give their endorse-
ment to the proposition, although a
more useless piece of legislation
could not be suggested. Rev.
George Daua Boardman, an eminent
Baptist divine of Philadelphia, has
written a pamphlet in advocacy of
the proposition to establish a national
university, in which he formulates
a plan for conducting it. He ar-
gues that there should be an Ameri-
can Christian university at the capi-
tal as an offset to the Catholic uni-
versity, which is being erected
there. The New York Star appro-
priately observes that we might as
well have an established church and
be done with it. We do not believe
however, that Senator Edmunds had
in view the establishment of a sec-
tarian school in the interest of Pro-
testantism aud as an offset to the
Catholic university. It is no doubt one
of those surplus spending schemes
like nearly all of the other measures
which have been recently proposed
by the republicans. But the avidity
with which the proposition is seized
upon by Rev. Mr. Boardman as a
means of putting a check upon the
Catholic chu-ccli and of advancing
protestantism, illustrates the danger
which underlies paternalistic legisla-
tion. But there is no danger of Mr.
Edmunds' proposition becoming a
law, and it is scarcely deserving of
more than a passing notice.
ENGLAND AND PORTUGAL.
The issues between Great Britain
and the little government of Portu-
gal, growing out of conflicting claims
with reference to certain East Afri-
can possessions are becoming daily
more complicated and may yet residt
in a resort to arms, notwithstanding
that England rests its cause more
confidently upon its great superiority
and brute force than upon any other
claim and thinks to overawe its
versary. But Portugal, hpVing ^ts
cause just, evidem "
aid and interferenc^fi
powers, judging fro:
resentmen:
last Sunday night a mob of three
thousand infuriated citizens of Lis-
bon visited the office of the British
legation and demolished it. The Por-
tuguese ministry has resigned and a
new one will be formed with the view
of carrying on a strong and vigorous
policy. Street riots and fomenta-
tions are of constant occurrence, al-
though the ring-leaders of the mob
which attacked the legation have
been arrested. Crowds of students
have joined in the disturbances and
go about the city shouting "viva
Portugal!" At Oporto a meeting
has been called to protest against
the demands of England, and there
is a movement on foot for the forma-
tion of a patriotic league to put into
operation an international boycot
against English commerce. A skill-
ed corps of German engineers has
been employed to plant a torpedo
mine in the river Tagus, and other
active preparations are going on.
The cause of trouble grew out of
rival attempts of the British and
Portuguese agents to assert suprem-
acy in the islands of South Africa,
and including the belt of country
lying to the west of Mozambique
and Ranguelo on the north, and the
Transvaal and Kalahari desert on
the south. The commerce of this
country consists in live animals wild
by nature, ivory, skins, nuts and oth-
er commodities and is of consider-
able magnitude. The Portuguese
government has for centuries en-
joyed uninterrupted control of this
commerce. But tho English govern-
ment has recently become desirous
of possessing the basin of the Zam-
besi in order to monopolize the in-
terior traffic, and as a "feeler," as it
were, put forward its claims to the
possession of a few small stations in
Makololand. This in itself might be
considered small matter of dispute,
but is considered by the Portuguese
government as a premeditated
scheme to get possession of the only
navigable waterway unappropriated
as an outlet for internal commerce.
Portugal has made a proposition to
submit the matter in dispute to ar-
bitration, but the British govern-
ment flatly refuses. It remains to
be seen what further steps will be
taken.
The war within the ranks of the
Grand Army of the Republic in New
Orleans on account of the action of
the post commander marching in the
funeral procession of the late Jeffer-
son Davis is still being waged fierce-
ly The States says of it:
"The fi^lit which the members of
tho Grand Army (i :l.e Kepublio
have made against Capt. Jacob Gray
because of his attending the funeral
of -Jefferson Davis, has proved to be a
boomerang and leaves Gray the mas-
ter of the field. The fact of the matter
is respectable union veterans will have
oothiog to do with the Grand Army
organization here because it is coir-
posed of a very large part of self

An Acrostic—In
Memory
Friend.
of a Departed
BY W. S. B.
With saduess and tears, my boyhood friend,
I part with one I've loved so long and no well.
Lasting though aa otir friendship, which has no
end,
Lives the hope, that in a better land to dwell,
In an immortal life free from death aud pain,
Aud where the redeemed with Christ forever
reign,
Most gloriously blest we will meet again.
Parted for a time, but you the last voyage have
gone;
I soon must follow acrosa the same dark sea;
Neither kindred nor friends, nor nothing 1 have
done,
Keeps toe from obeying this unalterable decree.
No, but Christ has this great mystery made plain;
Eternal life through Him we all may •btain;
Tes, on earth we part, but In heaven we will
meet again.
How precious the promise to Christians given!
In power we are raised from where In weakness
we were lain;
Low in earth we are burried, we ar« raised te
heaven,
Lost to sight for a time, yet we will all meet
again.

themselves on an equal footing with
the negroes by attending and taking
part in their political meetings,
church suppers and banquets. It is
certainly a rather odorous kettle of
fish."
Here is an opening for the colored
man. A dispatch from Brussels
says that a proposition to settle in
the upper Congo country a colony
of negroes from the United States
meets with much favor there. It is
thought that it would greatly facili-
tate the peaceful introduction of
ideas, of methods of industry and
commerce of civilized countries.
King Leopold and all of the Belgian
merchants concerned in the African
trade are said to be in favor of the
scheme. This suggestion comes at
a very opportune time for those who
are now wrestling with the race
problem and may yet help to furnish
a happy solution.
■ ■ • #->■ • ■—
The Post-Dispatch predicts that
the only practical result which will
follow the introduction of the bill by
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, pro-
viding for an appropriation of five
millions to facilitate the migration
and exportation of the colored peo-
ple, will be to signify tho willing
ness of the gulf states to part with
all the negroes willing to leave, and
the decided opposition of the North
to anything that will give it a
larger share of the negro popula-
tion.
Capt. A. E. Shepaed, a prominent
woolgrower of West Texas, testified
the other day before the ways and
means committee on the tariff. He
claimed to be a democrat, but ad-
mitted that he voted for Harrison,
that he was a prohibitionist and pro-
tectionist and that he employed
Mexican peons as herders. Sneol is
full of such democrats as Capt.
Shepard.
Someone suggests as a suitable in-
scription on the proposed monument
to Henry W. Grady the following
poetic sentiment: "His face was a
thanksgiving for his past life and a
love letter to all mankind."

He was a law abiding citizen, who
held an office of public trust, with
clean hands, and left it without a
stain upon his character. He was a
food Mason, whose daily walk re-
ected honor upon the lodge of
which he was a member, and whose
daily life was an index of the beauti-
ful truths of the Masonic Order.
His home was a happy one, bo-
cause of his presence there, and his
strong affection and gentleness to
his beloved family To him no
work was hard, no task heavy, no
burden wearisome, that contributed
to their comfort. His chief delight
was to make their life ways pleasant
and his daily kindness fell about
them as softly as the dew of
Heaven. He has left them a good
name—a heritage that cannot die,
and the assurance that he has en-
tered the tearless land, where life is
immortal.
Religion was a truth he taught,
By blameless life and goodly deed,
And to mankind he'daily brought
Tho Golden Rule—his gentle creed.
Men loved him for his kindly ways,
The charity, the pure intent,
He carried through his length of days, ' ■
Along each path his neighbor went.
They lovod him for the gentle grace,
That scorned a brothers fault to scat,
And recognized upon his face,
God's noble stanap—"an honest man*
Faith led him to the perfect day,
Hope held held her beacon light afar.
And Charity above liia way,
Shone brightly as a Summer Star.
Thuaguided by the "mystic three,"
He lived so true that all is well,
Where softly runs the Jasper Sea,
Beyond the sound of tolling bell.
