ingly well with its non-union force.
At all events it 's satisfied and there
is nothing more to be said about it.
Because Charles DeMorse happens
to be a newspaper man many people
jump to the conclusion that it would
be high treason for him to offer to run
for Congress.
J im Belford is a pretty hard case
indeed but the suggestion that he and
Logan hitch teams for the next race
made by the paragraph fiend of the
News is perfectly hellish in its utter
malign ity.
Gibbs and Gooch ; either of them
would make a lieutenant-governor for
Texas of the very highest order. "Old
Barney" (Gibbs) is a broth of a b'y
and fully deserves the high personal
popularity he enjoys.
The contrast between the wit of
the state press and the nonpareil col-
umns of the News is very forcible.
It is the vigor of a healthy moral and
mental manhood against the malevo-
( ent senility of octogenarianism.
The Statesman while it is and
must be at all times strictly and pro-
nouncedly democratic will be at the
same time strong enough to criticise
severely those democrats who would
hazard the party safety by dangerous
practices. We prefer to speak kindly
of all democrats and will do that
whenever we have a half chance
and will only chide when chide we
must regretfully..
The suggestion that the Texas con-
gressmen should be made a kind of ex-
offlcio delegates to the national demo-
cratic convention is ridiculous. It no
more iouows that a congressman is a
suitable delegate than that a negro
class leader would make a proper pope
of Borne. Indeed the argument Is all
the other way. A real stiffed-backed
representative in congress ought to
be rather intractable as a manipulator
on the floor of a convention.

of Austin want to boycott The

The unyielding firmness with which
the union maintained an unreason-

worked out its sure result and that

difficulty if it survives at all. It will
force a combination among publish-
ers and then its hour will have
struck. '

cannot see exactly why the delegates
charged to nominate a governor and
a state administration generally should
be charged with the duty of selecting
delegates to a national convention.

-PERISH THE THOUGHT."
Every now and then some amusing
tenderfoot particularly in the north-1
west rises up and swears by all the
gods on high Olympu? that the state
must ana snau be cuviueo. me gut-

the senate and congress. It is very
amusing to note that as soon as a pol
itician from the northwest reaches
Texas glances over her two hundred
and seventy four thousand square
miles of territory it immediately oc-
curs to him that if the state were di-
vided political honors would be mul
tiplied in proportion and he at once
opens up on the idea as though it had
never been broached in the state be-
fore. He is astonished when he finds
that the people have been over the
proposition have weighed it thor
oughly and have rejected it upon
very good and very sufficient grounds.
When you ask him if the expense of
maintaining three separate state gov-
ernments will not neutralize the ad-
vantage of the addition of four
senators to our representative
force in Washington he is
astonished. He had not put it to him
self in any way half so forcible as
this. But when you go on and suggest
that two more state houses peniten
tiaries asylums and other things usu-
ally considered necessary to the health
ful existence of an American common
wealth are to be built and that they
will necessitate an enormous outlay of
money and the division will lessen
the ability to pay by sixty-six and
two-thirds per cent he begins to see
that the idea is rather an indifferent
one While it Is charming in theory
it Isn't worth a straw in practice.
There is another consideration
equally powerful. It is the just and
praiseworthy pride the people feel in
the grandeur of the state's wonderful
proportions. It is something to be
able to boast that we are larger than
any three of the other states of the
union not only that but we are
richer raise more cattle more horses
and more sheep than any of them to
say nothing of cotton corn wheat
etc. The pride taken in these things
by the citizenship of the state is its
future hope its future safeguard
against one and all of the ills which
come to a commonwealth by reason of
a want of loyalty among the people.
This is not the stuff out of which
traitors are made. There is no treason
in the splendid devotion of the people
and their satisfaction in the wealth
power intelligence and moral worth
of the country. To meet the wild
wave of communism now angrily
surging to the feet of the states of the
union plague-tainteilijom the shore
Of" the old world powerru-i conserva
tive states must be built up here in
the south. In this way when the
final struggle of law and order against
the unbridled license and the
wild passions of the mob
does come on Texas will
spring into the breach with a voice
and arm both powerful enough to stay
the flood tide and restore the quiet
under which only governments can
exist and people prosper.
Texas has already in her bounty
built up here the beautiful city oi
Austin. Upon the verdure-clad heights
overlooking the blue Colorado the
fathers of Texas planted the roof-tree
of her government. Here sanctioned
by their approval the people have
come from the earliest days to do those
things necessary and proper to be
done at the capital of the state. Our
state institutions are located here and
Texas ii building a state house which
will prove to be not only a pride to
her but a wonder to all the nation.
This will be but another bond tor tne
perpetuity of the indivisibility of her
territory. But her strongest hold is
in the perfect unanimity of all the
people except the few of whom we
have been speaking. Practically there
is but one sentiment on this head
among the people even the new com-
ers after they are here a short time
imbibe the distaste of the old residents
to the idea of division. No.no! The
thing is impracticable impossible and
surely it is undesirable in every light
in which the suggestion may be placed.
UNWORTHY MODES.
We have opposed the appointment
of either Major Elliott of the Herald
or Mr. Hardenbrook of the Post as
commissioner to the New Orleans ex-
position for good and sufficient rea
sons and purely upon principle. Ma-
jor Elliott Is not by the constitution
of his mind his habits of business and
his knowledge of the state and her re-
sources fitted in any way for the dis
charge of the duties of the place. This
Is an honest opimon ana it is Dome
out by the pronounced declaration of
a very large majority of the people
who have spoken on the subject. It
would be difficult out of the two mil
lions ot DeoDle inhabiting Texas to
find a man more thoroughly impractl-
fable in such a Dosition than he. As
one evidence of this unfitness we may
point to his effort to shut off legiti-
mate discussion by assailing the per
sonal character of the editor of The
Statesman. What has any failure
we may ever have made in business to
do with Colonel Elliott's fitness for
the important position of commis-
sioner of Texas to the World's Fair
exposition at New Orleans? If he
could act as unfairly in this case he is
completely capable of using the post-j
tion he aspires to to further his own
interests and to injure those of the
people he regards as his enemies
whether justly or not. Ma
jor Elliott couia give no
better evidence of the correctness of
the position of The Statesman than
he gives in permitting the columns of
his paper to be used to assail a man
personally who only uses his preroga-
tive of a frea citizen and a public
journalist to discuss the fitness of men
aspiring to serve the public In any
capacity. We have never and could
never mention Maj. Elliott's name
but for the fact that he seeks for the
position we have named. It is a poor
defense he makes and a man who has
no better means of representing his
own merits and claims is we insist
no man to represent Texas at New
Orleans or anywhere else.
To do Mr. Hasdenbrook simple jus
tice he has not done this and in this
way and to this extent he is the super
ior of Elliott. Albeit we shall say
with equal candor that he is not the
proper man for the place and we will
endeavor to give intelligent reasons
for the assertion. Mr. Hardenbrook
is not well enough acquainted with
Texas with the bent and genius of
her people with the wonderful pro
gress she has made in the past and is
now making with the wide range
of her producing capacity. Mr. liar-
denbrook as an aspirant for a place of
public honor and trust v. ill not

frankly or for adding that witn0!lt
any of prsonal Mttemf89
any gram or psrsonai bitterness we
say we do sincerely trust that his ex
ceuency win not make so foolish a
blunder M he would make were fae to
appoint Hardenbrook.
The place these gentlemen aspire to
tin Is eminently one which the trov-
ernor cannot fill by reason of the par
tial promptings of private personal
friendship and no really true personal
friend would seek to force the dilem
ma upon him. His secretary and per-
sonal official attendants may be prop-
erly selected from the ranks of his
personal friends but the interests of
the state and her liberal appropriation
to the objects of the exposition must
not be sacrificed on the altar of the
governor's private friendship sacred
as those may be to him.
FORMING OUR LINES.
The democrats in both the senate
and the house of representatives have
perfected a campaign organization of
the highest ability and from which we
in common vlth the country expect
the very best results. The names of
the members of the committee give
promise of the highest order of intel-
ligent action and the influence of
this close organization will be widely
and usefully felt in the coming months
of activity lying immediately before
us. The principles for which the nation
al democracy are contending are too
vastly important to permit us to nee-
lect any preparation which may be
made with honor. We cannot afford
to lose the next battle because we
have arrived at that turning point
period in the history we are making
as a commercial people when sound
impartial theories must prevail or we
lose substantially the ground we have
won by an exhibition of energy and
commercial intelligence as remarka-
ble as it was unexpected by our rivals.
It was excusable if not pefectly justi
fiable for us at the inception of our
career to foster certain industries in
order to have them established. They
have grown in the past years to a
vigorous stature and must now
be prepared to stand on their own
merits without enjoying any longer
the powerful protection of the gov
ment.
If this is the line upon
which the next battle i3
to be fought we will win
it beyond a peradventure.
All the auerurie3 are propitious.
There is nothing left in the situation
to create the shade of a doubt except
the fear of some wicked and cruel
blunder upon this tariff question.
We cannot afford that. We dare not
make it. Now if the states will fol
low with wise and close organizations
tor the coming camjA'ign we will be
placed in a position by the middle of
the coming July to sum up the situ"
tion perfectly and when we do so we
do not hesitate to declare it as our
deliberate opinion that we will see
that victory is assured. That it may
be so let every good democrat in all
broid America work a3 ho has never
worked before.

Fort Worth Gazette slashes into the

Alabama and the Tariff.
From the Saranab Morning News.
The idea that has been advanced by
the advocates of the high protective
tanii tiiat tne retorm issue would
cause the loss to the democratic party
of three southern states is being
strongly refuted. They are found
harpiDgon Alabama and her great
iron interests but seem to forget that
nineteen out of tweenty of the peo
ple of that state are consumers of iron
gooasana not. manufacturers. The
autocratic bearing of the monopolists
is not at all calculated to strengthen
their influence even amonar their near
neighbors and the evidence is daily
accumulating that the people of Ala
bama are overwhelmingly in favor of
tana retorm.
Mr. Tompkins attorney general of
the state has been interviewed and
he says that as far as the democratic
party in Alabama is concerned its
ranks will undoubtedly be strength
ened by the tariff issue. It is said that
the protectionists well know this fact.
and teat as long as the republican
party remains united no side issue will
Dreak or weaken the democratic
ranks.
Only three of the Alabama members
of the house of representatives voted
for Mr. Randall for speaker. They
were Mr. Shelley Mr. Hewitt and Mr.
Williams. Of these the latter Is a rev
enue reformer and he represents the
sentiments of his district. Mr. Shelley
is said to be a protectionist whose
great personal popularity elects him
from a revenue reform district. Mr.
Hewitt represents the only protection
district in the state and even there
the voters are so near equally divided
that he had to be elected on a platform
which advocated a reduction of the
expenses of the government to a basis
of the strictest economy with only a
sufficiency of taxation to defray such
expenses. The most ardent revenue
reformer could not ask for a better
Elatform. Revenue reform clubs have
een organized in Birmingham itself
so it is stated while the country peo-
ple are by no means in favor of a con-
tinuation of the war tariff.
There are two or three prominent
newspapers in Alabama that advocate
protection but so far as noticed not
once have they intimated that Ala-
bama is for protection or that the
tariff issue would jeopardize tne
democratic chances in the state
though this has frequently been as-
serted by outsiders. Notwithstand-
ing all the bluff and bluster of the
protectionists the revenue reform
doctrine seems to be the winning card
in Alabama as well as all through the
south and west. The ways and
means committee is no doubt fully
posted on this subject and is not
likely to be intimidated by gloomy
prophesies and threats at this stage Ot
their proceedings.

it is probable they will not be so cer-

sense of justice when the truth is the

sense of injustice.

From the Courier-Journal.

THE OLD STORY.
CAPITAL SUSTAINING THE WAE
BETWEEN THE LUM-
BEKMES. Tbe Calcasieu Lumber Company
duces its Prices Lower Than the
Lowest History of the Com-
pany Its Present and
Future Prospects.
Monday evening Mr. 11. J.
Lutcher of Orange president of the
Calcasieu Lumber company of this
city arrived and was met by a repre-
sentative of 'Jhe Statesman who
was eager to ascertain the gentleman's
position in the lumber war at present
in vogue in this city and vicinity
but the lateness of the hour pre-
vented a lengthy conversation. The
representative however visited the
yards ot the company yesterday and
found two of the officers on duty the
Drake brothers who kindly answered
all questions propounded by the news-
paper man.
The Calcasieu Lumber Company
succeeded the Messrs. Drake who had
established a magnificent trade in this
section of the state and the following
officers were elected: II. J. Lutcher
of Orange president; J. V. Moore
of Williamsport Pa .vice president;
U. F. Drake of Austin treas-
urer and general manager and W. S
Drake of Austin secretary. The in-
stitution was chartered with $20000
capital and to-day the Calcasieu Lum-
ber company control a goodly portion
of the trade in this and adjoining
counties. Messrs. Lutcher & Moore
are owners of 100000 acres of pine
land in the Calcasieu district of Lou-
isiana ane are proprietors of one of
the largest mills in Eastern Texas
which mill is located at Orange and
is only idle ".one week in
one year when it is closed
for repairs and general over-
hauling. The mill cuts 100000 feet of
lun ber per day twenty-five cars of
which have been received here within
the past ten days. The many carloads
of lumber brought iato this city caus-
ed ceneral comment on the part of
citizens who are and those who are
not aware of the greatest cut in lum-
ber rates ever known in thi3 section.
This comrjanv nrorjose to seu as

buyers will find great bargains

offer Calcasieu lumber as cheap as one
