Hon J. Y. Gooch, of Palestine,
has formally announced himself as
a candidate for the speakership of
the house of representatives of the
24th legislature. There will be
several aspirants for the place.
The 1894 newspaper directory,
issued by Geo. P. Rowell & Co.,
of New York, which is considered
good authority,credits the Houston
Post with the largest circulation
of any daily paper in Texas. The
Fort Worth Gazette comes second,
the Dallas News third and the Gal-
veston News fourth.
At a meeting of the State board
of education this week che school
apportionment was fixed at $3.50
per capita. This was done over
the protest of Comptroller McCall,
who contended that the apportion-
ment should not be more than
$2.50: He claims that a deficien-
cy of $700,000 will be the result of
the action of the board.
The doctor should never be out
of patients, the blacksmith out of
temper, or the printer out of sorts;
the carpenter should act plane, the
lawyer be brief, the undertaker be
grave, the clothier be suited, the
jeweler be watched, and the bank-
er should be checked—Texas
Sandwich.
And the writer of the above
should severely pim-ishecl—if not
shot.
Next Tuesday, the 28th, the
Congressional convention for this
district''will meet at Palestine. As
the majority rule has been adopted
by the State convention, we pre-
sume the precedent will be follow-
ed, and the candidate receiving
a majority of the votes in this dis-
trict will be declared the nominee.
This being the ease the figlit will
not be so long and tedious as has
been anticipated. It is hard to
tell who will win.
Speaking- of Ida B. Wells, the
negro woman who has been in Eng-
land for some time past, engaged
in slandering the South, the New
York Sun says: “In the case of the
lynching of colored men at the
South, however, there is this to
say: The moment the colored
criminal of the South gives up his
favorite crime, that moment nine-
ty-nine per cent of the Southern
lynchings will cease. Instead of
defaming the white women of the
South, Ida B. Wells might better
try to tame the brutal and bestial
natures of too many men of her
own color in the South.”
The Congressional Situation. Senate Not Democratic.
There are nineteen counties in Hon. Wm. L. Wilson, writing to
the second Congressional district, the St. Louis Republic regarding
and they will be represented in the the passage by the house of the
convention at Palestine next Tues- house tariff bill as amended by the
day by 56 votes. According to senate, speaks in the following
the Times, of that city, the instruct- j plain and unmistakable terms:
ions are as follows:

Blount has withdrawn from the
race, and will make an attempt to
throw his strength to Cooper. If
he succeeds in doing this, Cooper
will have a majority on first ballot,
and will doubtless receive the nom-
to-day. If by continuing the fight
to the close of the present congress
we would have rid the bill of those
defects and shortcomings and giv-
en to the American people a tariff
reform measure such as they confi-
dently expected from the congress,
I should not have hesitated one
second in doing so. From the be-
ginning I have been prepared to
take any chance, even the most
desperate; to amend and improve
the bill, but we have reached a
point to-day when further confer-
ence seemed to point to no results,
and it became our duty to present

Prospects are good for a first
class county fair this fall.
The Tyler Rustler has suspend-
ed for want of patronage.
Cherokee county will*have an-
other legal hanging ere long, if
justice does not miscarry.
The ticket nominated at Dallas
last week gives general saisfaction
to the Democrats of the State.
“A life for a life!” An end
must be put to the murdering and
robbing business in Cherokee
county.
S. A. McMeans, of Palestine,
was elected member of the State
executive committee from this sen-
atorial district.
Gov. Hogg expects to attend
the Cherokee county fair again this
fall, at which time he will probably
deliver a speech.
Farmer Shaw is being exten-
sively quoted by the Populist
newspapers. It’s time for the “Far-
mer” to “take a tumble.”
Hundreds of Texans will take
advantage of the Knights of Pyth-
ias excursion to Washington.
Tickets are being sold at $20.00
and $25.00 for the round trip.
The Republican county conven-
tion at this place on Aug. 11th
adopted a platform containing,
among other things, the following
financial plank:
We believe in the use of gold
and silver as money metals, to be
maintained in circulation on a per
feet equality and interconvertibili-
ty. We recognize the so-called sil-
ver question as one of the para-
mount issues of the day and believe
that the people of this State and
country can and do look to the Re-
publican party, the party of ability
and progress, as the only party that
can give a wise and adequate so-
lution of the problem. We there-
fore pledge ourselves to use every
effort in our power to restore sil-
ver to its historic position in the
United States as a money metal.
We pledge this in the belief that
permanent prosperity will not be
assured, or done, until silver takes
its place side by side with gold as
one of the two great money metals
of the world.
It also has the following compli-
mentary allusion to Gov. Hogg’s
administration—compl imentary
because it comes from the Repub-
lican party—“the party of ability
and progress”:
We arraign the present Dem-
ocratic Governor of Texas as the
most conspicuous case of misfit in
official life. From the day upon
which he was first inaugurated to
the present time he has done noth-
ing for the interest of Texas, but
upon the other hand, he has ex-
hibited a wonderful aptitude in do-
ing the wrong thing at all times
that the people of the State, irre-
spective of party, awaits with un-
disguised impatience the expira-
tion of his term of office.
A. W. Houston, of San Antonio,
secured the Congressional nomi-
nation in the twelfth district over
Paschal, who was a candidate for
re-election. The majority rule
was adopted.
Capt. BuriqTt, the projector of
Lliu PaltJuLiiio-Dulhui railroad en-
terprise, is authority for the
statement that work will soon be-
gin on the road and will be vigor-
ously prosecuted until its comple-
tion. __
W. L. Sargent, the secretary of
the State Democratic convention,
has forwarded to President Cleve-
land a copy of the resolutions
passed at Dallas last week, invi-
ting the chief executive to visit
Texas.
The celebrated Houston Even-
ing Age was sold last Tuesday to
D. D. Bryan. The Age was es-
tablished May 15th, 1871, by Maj.
Daniel McGary, and continued
under his management until its
sale. He boasted that the paper
never missed an issue and was
never disloyal to the Democratic
party.
A special from Center announ-
ces the withdrawal of Hon. S. W.
Blount, of San Augustine, from
the Congressional race in this
district, in the interest of the can-
didacy of Hon. S. B. Cooper, the
present incumbent. Cooper’s
friends now claim his nomination
on first ballot, under the majority
rule.
house Democrats and to submit to
their decision what should be their
action.
That caucus by a large majority,
and with an* avidity which I be-
lieve far outstripped the desires of
the people at home, decided to
swallow the senate amendments m
gross, and to seek through separ-
ate bills some correction of the
most oppressive and protective
features of the senate measure.
The whole trouble has been that
we have been under an erroneous
impression as to the senate being
a Democratic body, at least in so
far as the tariff question is con-
cerned. I have never understood
the wisdom or policy of the real
Democrats of the senate in yield-
ing so thoroughly and apparently
without a struggle to the half doz-
en or less. But that is a question
which it is useless now to discuss.
I am conscious of having done the
best I could to put into law the
principles I used to advocate in the
Republic columns, and I am as
firm in my belief in the justice of
those principles and their final and
complete triumph as when I had
the privilege of weekly speaking to
my friends of the Republic.”

The railroads have been en-
gaged in a disastrous passenger
rate war during the past week,
much to the delight of the ticket
scalpers and the traveling public.
In Galveston tickets to St. Louis
have been sold as low as 95 cents,
and in other cities the rate has been
cut to $3.00 and $4.00. The
trouble, it seems, grew out of $25
round trip rate to Washington,
account of the Knights of Pythias
conclave.
