it not for the baggage smashers. However, they will
stand the test moderately well, being as strongly made
as iron, wood and leather can be pnt together, and of
the newest modern pattern and finish, until each trunk
seems a work of art. We have traveled and been ob-
servers some in this line and find that most ladies are
proad of their fine, bran new trunks. We have them; a
most elegant assortment you admirers of the beautiful
will find them, and you will certainly like them. You
can get any priced trunk you want, from
$1 to $25 Each.

Tmsuis talk of the People's
party and the Jeffereoniao demo-
crats uniting. This would be ae
strange a mixture aa If tha Duteh
and tha Hollanders were to unite.
Tpif threatens the re-
wtth the loss of tha sil-
ver states. Just now they are
more conoerned about such states
as Massachusetts and Illinois
than they are about Colorado and
Nevada.
WHAT ARE WE SHOUTING
FOR.
Some of Governor Hogg's
friends in this county, who have
shipped a few car loads of flour
or cotton seed near by, are loud
in his praise on account of reduced
charges.
Now. we are not disposed to
criticise the commission in the
least, for we believe its members
are doing the best they can, and
when they have had sufficient
time to get things well in hand
they will make a good thing of it
Bat we submit that it is no big
thing for this part of the state to
have rates to places close by re-
duced, while the long hauls are
raised.
This is s good thing for those
sections near the coast, but a bad
thing for those parts as far from
a seaport as we are.
A cheap rate to Paris, Fort
Worth or Dallas does the people
of this country very little good.
We bay very little from those
places and oar products mast be
shipped to the coast.
We can see very little to boast
about when for the sake of getr
ting cheap rates for a few car
loads of flour or cotton, to points
near by, we put a high tax on
all the people to compensate for
it. Everybody buys goods that
are shipped from a long distanoe
and nearly everybody ships sll the
surplus pioduct a long distance.
Before we shost too much we
should see what we have to make
us glad. If it is right to raise
ratee on all the people that a few
who ship to snd from points near
by may get cheap rates, then let
us accept the whole republican
platform and advocate taxing ail
the people to build up a few manu-
facturers.
We do not say that the com-
mission necessarily has to do
this, but this has been the result
so far.
The mileage rate may be just
and right, but it would look more
eensible (or the people who are
benefitted to shout Its praiaee,
than for us who suffer by it to go
wild over it
We do not understand thai tha
commission is bound to fettaw
this plan in arranging raiea^aad
if it works a hardship they eaa
change the poliey. But as it Is
now arranged parts of the state
remote from the ooast as we are
are injured instead of benefitted
by it.
A GREAT DANGER.
The New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat in discussing the recent elec-
tion in Louisiana argues that
there is no longer a doubt but the
freedom of the elections there is
a thing of the past, and that as
matters now stand a governor
has the power to dictate his suc-
cessor.
The Times-Democrat seems to
have at last waked up to a realisa-
tion of the true situation and
speaks almost as one inspired.
It says:
In a republican form of govern-
ment the ballot box is the true
foundation of everything, and it is
very certain that the superstruc-
ture cannot be sounder than the
base.
The prevailing disrespect for
the sancity of the ballot had its
orgin in the terrible debanchment
of the suffrage in the days of re-
construction. Men whoee prop-
erty was being confiscated, under
the forms ef law, refused to recog-
nize any inherent authority in ma-
Joritiee made up of men so igno-
rant that they could not read the
ballots they cast. "Self-preserva-
tion is the first law of nature," and
it was the only law for which
the white men of this state
had any respect, after they had
been plundered by the ignorant
majority, while they were pinned
down by Federal bayonets. It
was a supreme crisis, and no
white man whoee intereets are
identified with Louisiana will ia
his heart condemn the means by
which the state was preeerved to
civilisation.
And yet, as the powerful drugs
which most be need to save the
life of the patient in the orisis of
his disease eannot be made the
daily regimen of the convalescent,
so no government that is republi-
can in its form ean be habitually
conducted by means which are
only to be justified by a supreme
The state of Mississippi fosnd
itself confronted by this moment-
ous problem, and solved it by
eutting the Gordian knot. Can-
not Louisiana also boast of states
manahip enough to cope with the
problem!
It has gotten to be almoet a
law that the greateet leaders in
political parties eannot reach the

defeated one of the greatest lead-
ers any party ever had. Mr.
Cleveland, it is true, developed
into a strong leader. Bat as soou
as he did this he was defeated by
au obscure man in another party.
We cannot account for this nnless
it be on the theory that great men
are always the objeots of envy
on the part of lesser lights in the
party, and that these smaller men
state them in the dark.
It seems that some of Mr.
Cleveland's friends tried to make
the Rock wall-Noyee contested
election case a test of strength
between Hill and Cleveland. If
that was their game they got
beautifully left The Cleveland
man got all the republicans and
89 of the democrats, .while the
Hilt man got a good lound ma-
jority and every one of them a
democrat.
The Hesperian is not a Hogg
paper, but it proposes to give the
news no matter which eide is get-
ting the beet of it. However, it
tafcee eepecial pride in giving
such news as that of the Dallas
primaries.
ocr Hogg friends seem to de-
light in sending ns Hogg news
All right. We hope to have some
Clark news for them some of
these days. We are by no means
Hoggish and will divide our space
with them.
Don't forget that Cooke county

governor, and don't let your seal
for Hogg or Clark eripple our
county's chance for getting a
repreeentative in the state admin-
istration.

Jswbons on Politics.
Editor Hceperian :
We think the Hesperian is do-
ing us an injustice by sending all
the hopeless politioal cranks and
chronic whoopers up to our office
for treatment
We are not advertising tbe
business of reclaiming the victim
of political misfortune, neither do
we claim that we have facilities to
pot brains in a gourd.
But as a M. D. of craukism and
chronic politioe, and as the case
of D. W. R of Clay ooanty is in
the family, and as we desire to add
another victim for oar private
graveyard, we shoald be glad to
hsve this old sioner's scalp dang-
ling at our belt.
But before taking up this case
we shall order from the under
taker a burial caee for a 10-year-
old boy and a marble slab engrav-
ed "died of over estimation" for
an old forty pound uncle.
But to begin with, we want to
state that Uncle Dave has a war
record equal to Mr. Clark
or any other man. He
served tweny-seven months
In the Camp Douglas prisou aud
fought to the finish with the war
bugs 10 hours in every 24 for 2
years and 3 months, aud digested
mule beef and hard tack at regu-
lar intervals. His fame ss a quill
driver is too well known to re-
quire mention from this office.
He dashes from the chaparols
of Red river in fnll war paint,
tomahock in hand, with the
Hogg hair turned the wrong way
like a torn cat prepared for battle.
Bot he fails to tell about the right
that wee given the receiver of the
East Line road by the governor or
some one else, to issue #400,000
receivership oertifioatee. Now
we do not eay this was right or
wrong, but we think D. W. R.
should hsve explained it Then
he takes a leap into national poli-
tico. He says he wants Cleve-
land, but don't think Grover can
carry New York. So do we want
Cleveland, and we think he ean
carry New York. If we did not
think so we would not want to
run him. He wants Boise.
The history of Boise is
that he was a republican
for twenty years after oar old
aide closed his war career at
Wall, if joa
to split wood don't hit
ta Olark, bat
we are Dot Hogs? wild. We can-
not see where Mr. Hogg has doniv
any big thing for Texas. We
never did think the appointment
of Reagan and Chilton smelt just
right. The commission bill had
been passed and laid on the table
of the governor muny days before
the legislature adjourned, aud
nothing but au affidavit from the
governor himself could make us
believe that Mr. Reagan bad not
been consulted and slated before
the bill had passed the first
house.
We also believe that Chilton's
appointment had been determined
upon before the legislature ad-
journed.
Now, just why Mr. Hogg did
not sppoint Mr. Resgau on the
commission snd leave the vscancy
in the senate to be filled by the
legislature then in session, we
eannot say.
But one thing is certain and
that is if Mr. Chilton had gone be
fore that body he would have
made a poor race. But the gov
eruor waited until adjournment
and then took the old Texas war
horse out of ihe house of lords
aud made him chairman of the
commission, and in the samt'
bresth app ointed Mr. Cnilton to
the house of lords. That 'oi be
fore the people knew there was a
vacancy.
We have no war to make on
Chilton or the commission, or tbi
houored Reagan, but we we will
say that if Mr. lteagan fails to
make it a success no man iu Texat
need try it.
We make no objection to tbe
appointive feature of the commis-
sion. and if it bad been elective
tbe people would have placed the
stern and honest old Confeder-
ate at the head of the body.
All the Era crowd that went to
the government race course got
claims.
