tax Greenville Headlight norni
nates Ex-Got. James S. Hogg for
the United States Senate. A good
nomination; one that is likely to
win.
The Greenville Headlight saj s:
"Like Satan, the gold bugs must be
made to stand behind. The people
and net the money power mast rule
this country."
T*i Kfari»»gton Post is responsi
ble for the statement that Sunday is
•0 well observed in New York that
■bout the only thing one can get in
that town on that day is a biff over
the head with a sand bag.
» ♦ ♦
The Greenville Headlight calls at
teation to the fact that Senators Vest
and Morgan have not forgotten that
they were sent to congress to repre-
sent the best interests of their pto-
•ple, and that they are religiously
adhering to that duty.
« »
Ta* Greenville Headlight sounds
the alarm, and thinks democrats
should begin to take down their
carbines and sabers and rub them
up, as the enemy are already begin-
ing to make their appearance in
right of the picket line.
Discussing the one convention
Idea the Houston Post says: "It
will be better for Texas democrats
to follow the old custom. Evident-
ly this is cot a favorable year for
radical innovations, and, as suggest-
ed, when such changes aro made it
ahoulfl be by the assembled party
wisdom, and not by any mubordinate
officialism where the authority in
the premises is at least open to
doajjit.

The Bryan Eagle says : ' Barney
Gibbs has recently been in a state of
eruption, which has again given him
considerable notoriety. Barney is a
sun-tanned statesman of Dallas
county, who formerly occupied the
niche in the official edifice cf the
state set apart for tho lieutenant
f governorship. The democratic party
j gare Barney the cold, cold slake

The Corpus Ohristi Caller states
that Dr. T. W. Johnson, of Beovillo
has in his possession an old map
which might be of service in settling
the Venezuela question. This map,
which was made by M. D. Arvilltts
in London iu 1775, shows tho boun-
dary line of the British possessions
to begin near the mouth of tbo
Orinoco liver and runs in a south
westerly direction some 150 or more
miles west of the Essequibo river,
whieh river is claimed by Venezuela
as the true line, and it is believed
this line as mapped by Arvilles is
somewhere near the line run by
Shaumberg, upon which the British
now base their claim.
The editor of the San Antonio
Light insist that there is no use of
talking, that Texas mule in the
orient ia being heard from. Tho
state department at Washington is
informed officially that the relief for
Armenia in charge of Miss lied Cross
Barton will pass to the distressed
by her own hand. When Terrell's
mule raised his ears and he-hawed
his demand in the equally longears
of the sublime porto there was no
longer any trouble. It must be
rather galling.to John Bull's pride
to note that what is denied to the
British lion is accorded to the Amer-
ican mule, and one of the Lone Star
breed at that. Texas gones, what-
ever.
Ta* Kansas City Star says: "The
at odes of gold in the great banks of
Europe are 622 million dollars great
er now than they were five years
ago. There ia hardly one of them
which has not shared in this in-
arwaf In the same time the net

i not exist in
reciprocity.
The San Antonio Express feels
much encouraged over the introduc-
tion of a bill in congress looking to
an oarly revision of reciprocity leg-
islation introduced by Representa-
tive Beach, of Ohio, providing that
duties imposed by the tariff laws of
the United States shall not apply to
products from such nations as may
make equivalent reciprocal conces-
sions in favor of merchandise im»
ported from the United States.
Tho president, through the proper
diplomatic agents, is authorized by
this bill to negotiate commercial
arrangements with foreign govern
ments on such a basis of reciprocity.
There was a reciprocity clause in
the McKinley law, which was a good
feature of that measure. Under it
reciprocity treaties had been made
with a number of nations. The last
Congrese, however, in its blundering
way, repealed the reciprocity feature
of the JlcKinley law along with the
rest. In doing so it placed this
country before the world as one
without continuity of foreign policy,
for treaties recently entered into
were abrogated by this congres
sioual action. Our disagreeable
relations with Germany, for instance,
wore caused largely by the sudden
abrogation of the reciprocity treaty
with that country.
After its vacillating course in the
matter tho United States is placed
in a somewhat humiliating position,
aad can hardly urge its requests on
other countries for new reciprocity
agreements. Nevertheless, there can
be no harm in Congress re-enact-
ing reciprocity legislation so as to
permit of friendly agreements with
those countries, especially in South
America, which may desiro to renew
them. In the course of time the
number of such reciprocal agree-
ments may bo increased.
Few of those who favor a conser-
vative tarifi' policy can find reason-
able objection to a reduction of tho
tariff when benefits are to be ob-
tained thereby offsetting any loss
entailed. The making of a recip-
rocity treaty is a straight business
proposition and with a country like
Mexico could be utilized to greatly
enlorgo our markets and decrease
tho price of foreign produats to our
own consumers. Such treatios
could be considered and recom
msnded by a national tariff com-
mission composed of business men
with tho assurance that our people
would lose nothing by the courtesies
extended.
The IHkui-M Fool nt I.arge
U the individual who persistently neglects
hi# health, and tho means of preserving and
restoring it. Many porsons who are not
constitutional idiots do this. They aro gen-
uine objects of compasiion as well as cen-
sure. A failure of appetite, loss of sleep and
flesh, impaired digestion, an uncertain state
of the bowels ana symptoms of biliousnoss
are so many warnings of the approach of
disease. To disregard them is abject folly,
which offended nature in due time punishes
severely, if not fatally. That gonial and
thoroughly reliable preventive of bodily mis-
chief in the shape or chronic disease, Hostel-
ler's Stomach Bitters, will, if resorted to in
time, avert those disorders, to the removal
of which it is also fully adequate. Among
those are chronic indigestion, liver com-
plaint, kidney troubles, constipation, nerv-
ousness, rheumatism and malaria.

THS CURSE OF OFFICE.
Somobody must hold office, but
the man who does submits to a sac-
rifice that is appalling. Officehold-
ing, as a rule, is a blighting curse to
the officeholder. Once he tastes the
"sweets" of office he Is as muoh un
der the control of the officeholding
passion as a drunkard is under the
control of his appetite. Nothing
satisfies him, very truly remarks the
Farmer's Voice, but a permanent
position at the public orib, though
very often tho man could earn ten
times more outside of politics than
iu. Think of u business man or pro-
fessional man straining every nerve
and spending lotB of money to go
to the legislature at five dollars per
day? But hundreds do it, and re-
gard defeat, which sensible men
would regard as a blessing, as a se-
rious and almost irreparable misfor-
tune. If it is an appointive office
and the man unfortunately succeeds
in holding it for a scries of years,
but at laBt is discharged, he is as
helpless as a babe, for he is utterly
unfit for other occupations. This is
especially true of old men, who lose
their positions at Washington. It
is said that one of this class recently
cried like a child over his misfor-
tune. Better remain on the farm or
in the workshop or in any private
business than to embark on the
troubled sea of politics. There is
not much honor in it, and there is
still less money than honor if the
fingers do not have wax on them;
and it is better, far better, to be an
honest pauper than a dishotest offi-
cial. If a man maintains a clear
conscience, he can live and die with
at least one priceless treasure.
Gin. Jesomz Keabbt, the populie-
tic bell-wether of Texas, gave Bar-
ney Gibbs a royal welcome into the
pop camp.
