Hon Jacob Eenobier died at bis

The Russian authorities no Ion
ger deny that cholera exists in
epidemic form in that country.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
scourge prevails, not only in Rus-
sia, but in other parts of Europe,
there is no abatement in the num-
ber of immigrants arriving at
American ports.
Speaker Crisp, it seems, by his
sound judgment, judicial temper-
ament and clear sense of fairness
rendered himself very popular.
He, it is alleged, was always ac-
cessible to the members of the
house, withoutdistinction ofparty
or class, to which may be attrib-
uted the main secret of his popu
larity.
The federal courts have in the
past week rendered some very
stringent dicisions in regard to
strikes. The courts say a man
may quit work wheu be shall
choose if he quits in good faith,
but he must not interfere to pre-
vent another from taking the
place be abandons. This seems
reasonable and just.

There will be a meeting of
southern governors at Richmond,
Virginia on the 13*.h., for the pur-
pose of considering such ques-
tions as will tend promote the in-
terests of the south, and devising
ways and means to carry them
out. The south needs more peo-
ple and more capital and it is with
the view of obtaining both that
this meeting is called.
Senator Bowser’s proposed a
amendment to the stale const itu-
tiou exempting manufactories
which may be hereafter establish-
ed in this State, from taxation for
the period of ten yeirs, is report-
ed to have been defeated in the
legislature. The Journal thinks
it should have been submitted to
a vote of the people, that they in
in their sovereign capacity might
pass upon the ques i n.

Mr Cleveland has appointed
Hou. Thomas F Bayard, minister
to Rnglaud, and lion. James B.
Eustis, minister to Frauce. Both
are excellent appointments, and
the distinguished gentlemen
will discharge their duties in a
manner that will reflect credit on
♦ heir country and themselves.
The Journal is glad to see that
the president is selecting' only
first-class statesmen to represent
this country abroad.
Generrl Edmund Kirby Smith,
the last of the full Confederate
generals, died at Sewauee, Ten-
nessee last week. It was only
a short time ago he attended the
funeral of General Beauregard at
New Orleans. He, at that time
appeared to be in very good
health. But it seems he became
unwell while there and on bis ar-
rival at Sewanee he caught cold,
which aggravated his illness and
caused his death.
it, not wishing to throw cold
water on the enterprise or dispar-
age the efforts being made .to
have Texas represented.
The Brcnham Herald says:
Gov. Hogs is responsible to a fashion for
Motiaugliey’s abort coming*, ainoe it waa ha
who introduced the Colonel to the world of
politics.
The Journal is surprised tbst
a journal as liberal and conserva-
tive as the Herald, should attempt
to create a false impression. The
people of Texas are responsible,
if any responsibility attaches to
|anyone, and not the governor.
The Lockhart Phonograph re
marks:
Judge Kyeer received a private letter from
Architect J. Riley Gordon a few days ago
stating that tne court house was unsafe and
liable to fall at any time.
Mr. J. Riley seut a man to this
place to examine the old court-
house and report. He acted with
two other experts. The report
waB to the effect that the building
was unsafe and liable to fall ai
any time. The report was accept-
ed and the work of demolition be
gan, and it was work sure enough.
The demolishers said it was the
toughest job they ever undertook.
Giant powder aud dynamite bad
but little effect on the solid walls.
Finally it had to be dug down
with pieks. Never was there a
more substantial structure.
About the time tbe committee
reported aud tbe commissioners
bad taker, action thereon, and re-
solved to build a new courthouse
to cost not more than #90,000 nor
less than #00,000. Mr. J. Rile)
Gordon appeared oil tbe scene
with a plan for a new building,
which was finally adopted and he
made superintendent aud receiv-
ed between #4,000 and #5,000 for
his services which were perform
ed chiefly at his office in Ban An-
tonio.
The Texas Democrat (Hau.Mar
cos) remarks:
Hogg and Clark met in the legislative
chamber at Austin last week. It is the first
time George the giant tackier has met James
Stephen since he was knocked out at Cam-
eron in joint debate. They shook hands,
hut is the hatchet buried.
They met by chance, we pre-
sume, and like ail gentlemen do,
spoke and shook bauds. The
Journal cannot see why they
should be enemies.
The Gal veston Evening Tribune
remarks:
tSomfl of the newspapers are printing par-
agraphs not at all complimentary to the late
E. F. Shepard. Brethren, the man in dead
and cannot Answer you. Lot him rest in
peace, and use your pencils on living iss-
ue*.
If a person can say nothing
good of the dead they should re-
gain silent.

tenth of the spoils.
The South has the Democratic
voles, but tbe North has tbe pop-
ulation, We presume tills has
something to dn_ with the distri-
bution of patronage.
The Childress Star says;
The papers that are lasliing them.elves in-
to a frenzy over tbe probability of the su-
preme court declaring the commission un-
constitutional are needlessly alarmed. The
supreme court is not composed of gimlet-
headed lawyers like McCormick and the
case will be decided on its merits.
Tbe personnel of the United
States Supreme Court at the pres-
ent lime, is an improvement on
what it was a few years back, and
The Journal feels confident that
tbedecision when rendered, what-
ever it may be, will be satisfactory
to all who ieel an interest in tbe
determination of tbe case.
The Bellville Times-Standard
says:
That august body, the state senate, to
which bero-worshippers ascribe a!! sorts of
leonine qualities, lifted up the unnsistakuble
voice of nick Bottom on last Friday, in the
short but extremely assinine brsy favoring
the wholesale slaughter of mocking birds as
being the enemies of grape-raisers and of
night hawks, because they happened to dis-
turb tbe slumbers of some senators from the
rural “deestricks" whose real trouble was
probably a disordered liver.
It certainly waa a very absurd
proposition. Birds are too scarce.
They need better protection in-
stead of being slaughtered. The
English sparrows are doing that
in some portions of the Booth, too
fast already.
The Hondo Herald has past
the two mile post and Editor
Jones referring tc the fact says:
The Herald is not what we would like for
it to be, nor what we intend to make it,
and hope to make it in the future. What it
lacks of being our ideal of newspaper is per-
haps partly due to a lack of proper effort
on our part, but when we foot up our cash
account we fee) that we have done ail that
onr patronage would Justify. We believe
, that the paper cornea nearer beino a success
as a newspaper than it does as a financial in-
vestment. Yet we feel encouraged; and in
antering upon the course *f another year we
have but one promise to igake, and that is
that we will get jnst as gn*d a paper as our
patronage will justify.
The majority of tbe Texas news
papers are better than their pat
ronage justifies, bnt they toil on
hoping the day will come when
their labors will be properly ap
preciated and regarded. "Hope
springs eternal in tbe human
breast.”

.A;
Theacbievmeuta of the meu who
will form Mr. Cleveland's cabinet
are told in tbe following sketch-
es;
Walter Qnintin Gresham, who
ifi aunouuoed as tbe premier of
tbe incoming administration, is
oue of the best known of onr pub-
lic men, for bis career has been a
conspicuous one iu the jinny, on
tbe beuuh, in the cabinets of two
presidents aud on tbe bench ag-
ain. He was born iu an old tasb-
ioued farm house uear Lauesville,
Harrison county, hid., ou tbel7tb
of March 1833. He is of English
descent, altboogb his family has
beeu American for several geuer-
atious. His iaiber, William Gresh-
am, was sheriff of the county aud
was sbot and killed while endeav-
oring to arrest a well kuowu des-
perado. Tbe future statesman
was but 2 years old at tbe time,*
the youngest oue of five obildren.
His boyhood was one of hardship
aud sometimes privation. He fol-
lowed the plow day by day aud
studied Joy night. All be learned
was obtained through bard work
und self denial. His mother man-
aged the farm and kept tbe family
together. She still lives on tbe
old plaoe aud every year her son
pays her as long a visitas his pub
lie duties will permit.
The early education of Wallerl
was obtained under many difficul-
ties. When 16 years of age he
bad au opportunity to attend Co-
rydon seminary. He obtained a
clerkship iu the country auditor’s
office, by means of which he was
enabled to pay his board aDd tu-
ition. After three years speut ai
ibis school and at Bloomiugtou
university young Gresham return
ed to Gory don to study law, pay-
ing bis expense by working iu tbe
couuty clerk’s office betimes.
When 22 years of age he was ad
mitted to the bar. At the out-
break ot tbe war he was captain
of tbe Spencer Rifles, but enlisted
as a private. He served distinc-
tion at Shiloh, Gorioth and Vicks-
burg and was wouuded severely
at Atlanta. He was successfully
promoted to tbe rank of Major
general, and ou being mastered
out of tbe service in 1855resnmed
his law practice at New Albany,
He decliued several offices during
General Gram’s administration,
but in 1869 became United States
district judge for Iudiaua. Presi-
dent Autbur made him postmaster
geueral to succeed Timothy O.
Howe, deceased, and subsequent
ly gave him the portfolio of tbe
treasury. Toward the end of his
term, President Arthur appointed
him a judge of the United States
circuit court. In t hat capacity he
became well known to tbe citizens
of Ghicago, among whom he has
resided for several years past.
Judge Gresham’s relations with
President Harrison was not cor-
dial for many years, although he
supported him in the campaign of
1888. But even at that time the
judge was iu disagreemeut witb
the Republican party on questions
of au economic character, especi-
ally the tariff, liis fiual abandon-
ment of the party was announced
iu a letter to Bltlford Wilson dur-
ing tiie last campaign, which is
still fresh in the public remem-
biance.
Judge Gresham lias a wife, a
son and daughter. The sou is now
engaged iu the practice of law,
aud bis future is bright witb pro-
mise.
Jobu G. Carlisle, oue who is to
become secretary of the treasury
iu Presideut Cleveland’s second
administration, is a native of Ken-
tucky, and was born on October
5, 1835. liis early manhood was
devoted to teaching school, and
he employed his leisure hours in
the study of law- lie was admit-
ted to the bur.io 1858 aud after
haviug served several terras in
both branches of the legislature
was chosen lieutenant governor
of Kentucky in 1871, in which cap-
acity he served four years. He
was elected to tbe forty-fifth con-
gress aud to the five succeeding
congresses, and in May 1890, was
chosen United Slates Senator to
succeed the late Senator James
S. Beck. He was a presidential
elector in 1872, 1876, 1880, au 1884
and as a delegate to all the demo-
cratic national electons during
that period. Previous to his res-
ignation of the Sena' orsldp be was
a member of the committee ou fi-
nance, territories, Indian depre-
daiious, woman suffrage aud rela
tions to Canada. He was regard
ed as one of tbe leaders ou the
democratic side iu both bouse
aud senate aud bis opinions on all
questions of National coucero
were always sought and carried
great weight. His abilities have
have been recognized by men of
all parties. His wife is oue of the
most beautifol and accomplished
women in Washington society
aud bis eon, who has beeu chosen
his private secretary, iH a young
man of exceptional ability.
Wilson 8. Bissel, who will be-
come postmaster general afier the
4 h of March, has for many years
beeu one of tbe foremost lawyers
of Buffalo, N. Y., and is a liTe-Iong
democrat. He was born at New
Londou, on December, 1847, and
is therefore a comparatively
young man. He received bis edu-
cation at Yale, where he was grad-
uated with honors id I860, aud at
once began to study law iu tbe
office of Lanin, Cleveland & Fol-
som at Buffalo, and afterwards be-
came a partner io the firm of
which the President elect was a
member. He took but little part
iu politics, although a consistent
and earnest democrat, until Mr.
Cleveland’s rfbmiuation for tbe
office of governor of New York.
Id that campaign be did efficient
work for bia partner and frieudJ
and daring tbe campaigns that
base sncceeded he was the tame
enthaaiaalic supporter of “the
man of daatlny.”
«~ uunb. nat.11 a .
be is a big man other than physi-
cally. Altboogb a man of strong
convictions, resolute and deter-
mined, Mr. Bissel! is uniformly
good-natured. He is food of a
good joke and is usually the life
of his own particular oirole at tbe
elub. Two years ago be was elec-
ted presideut of tbe Buffalo club.
Tbe friendship that has existed
between Mr. Cleveland aud Mr.
Bissell almost since tbe letter’s
return to Buffalo from college has
been of the most oordial aud con-
fidential character, Mr. Cleveland
has always placed great faith iu
Mr. Bissell’s judgment. When Mr
Cleveland was married, Mr. Bissell
was summoned to the White
House to act as best man. At
bis own jredding two or three
years ago Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland
were the first to congratulate him
and bride. Mr. Bissell’s domes
tio life is very pleasant.
WASHINGTON LETTER
(from our RegularCorreftpondent.)
The news tnat the President
has decided to reconvene the in-
ternational monetary conference
at Brussels on May 30 is received
with approbation by Seuators who
have interested themselves in the
silver question. Tbe impression
prevails that the United States
delegation will not be materially
changed in pereoual, but at least
one familiar flgnre will be missed
when the delegates resemble, for
Senator AIUsod, who discharged
tbe duties of president of the
American delegation, has been
obliged from business considera-
tions to surrender tbe ideas of
currying forward bis work as a
delegate. The senator not au
extremist bnt he is hopeful that
some definite agreement will be
reaohed when tbe conference re-
assembles.
By tbe action of England and
France iu iaising tbe lilalar rank
of tbeir diplomatic represents
lives at Washington from tbe min-
ister plenipotentiary to embassa-
dor, it will devolve upon tbe dis-
cretion of tbe president to confer
similar distinction on tbe repre-
sentatives of the United States
at Paris and Loudon. It is tbe
highest titular distinction iu the
diplomatic service, aDd so long as
such titles afe being passed
around it is probable tbe United
States will fail into the possess-
ion, not for the sake of tbe intrin-
sic honor involved, bnt for the ad-
vantages there probably are In of-
ficial precedence at foreign courts.
To the ordinary mind there is but
a slight diff'ereuce iu tbe titles,
bnt as a matter of fact American
ministers abroad have been sub-
jected to great inconvenience and
have been obliged to see tbe rep-
resentative of some pocket gov-
ernment take precedence,because
they were uot embassadors.
Tbe elevatiou of their ministers
to embassadorships show that tbe
foreign governments now place
tbe United States on a level with
the great powers of Europe. There
is a good deal of Aim flam about
this diplomatic business, aud if
tbe American diplomatic service
bad any uniform it is probable
that an embassador would have
au extra grape vine down his
back, bnt it is not clear how the
Uuiled States cau ignore its re-
quirements aud keep in the swim.
It seems, at the Capital, as if
bad air and bad*tnanuers are the
snm of human greatness. Every
time I sit in the gallery of the
House of Representatives aud
gaze down upon the lolling, lazy-
looking lot of microbes that fill
the air with poison and pessimism
it seems that, after ail, its rather
unfortunate that the path of glory
leads but to the grave, ouly I
wouder why somebody doesn’t
draw a map defining a short cut.
One might suppose that the archi-
tecture of tbe Capitol was design-
ed for this purpose. I am told
there is a tresh air committee iu
Congress, also that a man is rath-
er ashamed to be a member of
it.
One luDg full of the air in tbe
Capitol is sufficient to drive a man
to drink, and it does. The oilier
day I sat in tbe House cafe three
quarters of an hour aud counted
twenty-seven little glasses filled
witb something a shade darker
than Potomac water and* decora-
ted with a pretty bit of lemon
peel disappear by tbe usual route.
Then I counted in 6efween thir-
ty-three baby decanters, each
hold holding a straight-1 suppose
it was a straight drink, for it went
traight down the throats of
straight Republicans and straight
Democrats al!ke.
It is not probable that tbe re-
organization of tbe Senate, so far
as tbe elective officers and the
employes under them are con-
cerned, will be made nutil next
fall when Congress meets. The
dhsire among tbe Democrats to
re-organize at once is not so great
as to lead them into a protracted
debate which would proloug tbe
extra session. Tbe Republicans
on tbe other band, are determined
that tbe re-organization shnll not
plaoe at tbia time,and are reedy
to fight tbe matleroot to the end.
The work of the extra session
of the Senate is therefore Jikely
to he confined in tbe main to tbe
consideration and confirmation of
presidential nominations.
“As stnpid as a Congressional
Directory.” That was a compar-
ison need a few days ago by a sin-
gularly charming girl, who wished
to cou vines me that she had bad

night before. Ai I knew it to be

I begged the issue and said, in-
stead: “How stupid is that!”

James ri Hogg will go dowu in
history as oue of the grandest pat-
riots aud purest statesmen that
Texas has ever produced. There
are bat few men of his age iu pol-
itics to day who have given evi-
dence of possessing tbe same de-
gree of characteristics of tbe ideal
statesman. He is the strongest
man both mentally aud politically
that tbe state has ever produc-

Tbe Yoakum Times makes a
big parade about supporting the
uational platform at the last elec-
tion, but we beg to advise it that
it finds itself very much in tbe
hands of local assertion of power
aud anthority. Texas democra'a
spoke twice last year in favor of
free ooinage, at Lam pasas and a-
gain at Houston. The faot of
tbe business is that they believe
that way, and those who want to
march roast step into the proces-
sion, or else get ran over.—Cam
eron Herald.

■The Galveston News of Sunday
[contain the following:
Early after the election in Texes organs
and partisans of the administration declared
that no Clark men need apply for a feder-
al appointment Among the most insistent
of these was the Houston Post, whiob al-
most out Coked Coke in its denunciation of
the “black-flagger,” and declared that Mr
C leveland could not afford to recognis* any
democrat who had refuaed allegiance to the
kar stable faction. Now the Post saya:
It is stated that Hon. Seth Shepard of
Dallas is an applicant for appointment to a
judgeship of o.ie of the courts in Washing-
ton City, and that Senator Mills is earnest-
working to help him get tbe place. Mr
u..epard is well fitted by character and cap-
acity for the place be aeeks, and the presi-
dent could not seell make a better select-
ion.
By which it seems that Mr. Cleveland’s
policy of seleoting men according to fltnees
>>'» determination to ignore tbe parts
spilt in Texas has convinced the Hogg part-
isans that Clark men are not traitors. But
this ©onviction did not come until the
car stabler* learned that their proscription
was vein, and as consistent spoilsmen they
could not refuse to applaud Mr. Cleveland,
whose favors they seek, though by such ap-
?oMy',s,,ldhCwMkln0ri0n'l/ “lv*rtU* lh*lr 0«n
The News should remsmber
thgl Mr Shepard has not, so far ns
heard from, aligned himself with
the “black flaggers.” By his sil-
ence, since the election, bo io
^apposed to Ijove yielded to tho
