State.
Paris, June 25.—The deepest
sorrow, dismay and anger prevails
throughout France. The cowardly
assassination of President Carnot
at Lyons last night is most heartily
deplored by all. Great anxiety is
felt in regard to the future, and
will not be allayed until a succes-
sor to the late president shall be
inducted into office. With all this
is the anger of France at the
assassin, Cesare Giovanni Santo,
the young Italian, whose deadly
knife has plunged a nation into
grief.
Telegrams of sympathy are pour-
ing in upon the family and upon
the government. The messages
of condolence come from all coun-
tries of the world, showing that
France is not alone in her sorrow
at the death of her president. The
newspapers of all shades of opinion
print leading articles deploring the
assassination of Carnot. Signs of
mourning are general to-day. All
the flags are at half-mast and the
public buildings are being draped
with crape.
Carnot was president of the
third republic in France since the
overthrow of Louis XVI, more
than a century ago. The first re-
public endured about twelve years,
Bonaparte's empire ten years, the
restored house of Bourbon sixteen
years, the Orleanist monarchy
eighteen years, the second repub-
lic a little less than five years, the
second empire eighteen years,
.. ,~wfaile~,tbe«4fei*d republic, dating
from the deposition of Napoleon
III, on September 4, 1870, _has
nearly completed its twenty-fourth
year of,life.
The Campaign.
The present campaign in Texas
is so far the cleanest on record.
With four candidates canvassing
the state, and that is no little job,
and each one getting enough in-
structed votes to give hopes of
ultimate success, and county after
•county holding primary conven-
tions, yet none of the candidates
or their lieteuants have in the least
indulged in any mud slinging and
the utmost coartesy prevails.
But how different it is in other
states. In Colorado the populist
governor indulges the hope of rid-
ing in gore up to his bridle, reins,
while his Adj't. General was re-
cently taken from his hotel at mid-
night and treated to a coat of tar
and feathers.
In South Carolina the senatorial
campaign has taken on a bitter
tinge, the result of some insinua-
tions- b}r Gov. Tillman that Sena-
tor Butler's supporters were carri-
ed free to the Yorkville meeting
by the Richmond and Danville
railroad, and that a corruption
fund had been raised in New York.
At Wednesday's meeting at Ches-
ter Senator Butler, turning toward
the Governor, said: "I say in
reply that if Gov. Tillman, or any
one else, makes that charge against
me he is an infamous liar." Gov,
Tillman made no reply, and,
though there was no dis
turbance, matter were at a danger-
ouscy high pressure for a few min-
utes.
And in this connection the Sav-
annah News says: "'One of the
latest and most interesting pieces
of political gossip from South
Carolina is the rumor that ex-Con-
gressman George D. Tillman will
be a candidate for Governor on an
anti-Tillman ticket. The state-
ment is apparently a paradox, but
it is perhaps correct. George Till-
man is a brother of Ben, the Gov-
ernor and the Moses of the 'reform
movement' in South Carolina, but
their political ideas are altogether
of different brands. George is a
Democrat of the Democrats, and
has no sympathy with or for new-
fangled political notions. He was
in Congress for ten years, and
would have staid there as long ab
he lived if he had not fallen a vic-
tim to the craze brought about by
his brother. It would be a nota-
ble circumstance if it should be
George Tillman who puts an end
to Tilimanism in South Carolina."
A Goodly Land of Abundance.
Take plenty of time and think
of it—Texas has raised this year
almost 6,000,000 bushels of wheat
and over 18,000,000 bushels of
oats! Reports from 238 neighbor-
hoods, representing sevent}'' coun-
ties in Texas, show the condition
of the small grain crop to be 9.6
above an average. The decrease
in wheat acrage is 1 2 per cent and
the increase in oats 5.7 per cent
as compared with last year. The
estimated wheat yield is 14 1-2
bushels per acre and the oat yield
37 bushels per acre. Taking the
counties reporting as a basis of
estimate for neighborhoods not
reporting, the wheat acreage of
1893 is approximately 400,000,
or 5, 800,000 bushels, and the
acreage in oats 600,OOo, or 18,150,-
000 bushels. We have never
heard just how many oats Carter
had, but if any of his friends want
to losa a hat on him almost any
patriotic Texan stands ready to
take him up. In addition to these
great crops of small grain it may
be added that the yield of hay has
been phenomenal and that a fine
crop of corn is practically assured.
The cotton crop promises good
results also, but it is yet too early
to assert just what it is going to
amount to. If there is any land
on earth with more bread or more
satisfactory prospects than Texas
it must be some undiscovered land
of which the hopeful poet dreams.

MIS ABSENT QUEEN.
To-niglit
Fast in my arms I hold thee,
Anastasia, mine,
My queen!
Fast in my arms!
And yet,
If but last night I'd held thee
Only in my hand—
How then, indeed, would you
Have been to me
A queen imperious!
For then,
Clasping as I did those other queens,
Those three right royal ladies
(And had 'em all the time),
With that king full that Bill Jones held,
You bet I'd stayed
And whooped it up
Until the cows came home,
And, like a cyclone revolving out to hustle
things.
I'd rake the pot—
That big, that opulent, that fat jack-pot—
And stowed it in my jeans—
If but last night I'd held thee
Just in my one weak hand,
O Queen!

Washington Gossip says: Since
his return to Washington, Con-
gressman Culberson has warned
his colleagues to go slow in criti-
cising the President. He has told
them that the hardest things the
Democrats at home are saying are
not directed against Mr. Cleve-
land, but against Congress. Judge
Culberson illustrates this by an
incident from his own experience.
He says he spent nearly an hour
telling Uncle Jeff, one of his con-
stituents in Jefferson, all about
the situation in Washington and
how faithfully the Democratic
party was working to try to better
things for the country. When he
got through Judge Culberson says
Uncle Jeff scratched his head and
simply remarked:
"Judge, I recon you fellows in
Congress have did the best you
knownedhow, but don't you think
it would be better for the country
ef you'd jest adjourn without any
more tryin' and let the old man
run things himself?"
Mr. W. N. Quarles and Miss
Florence Pitts, of Lamar county,

fice of the Justice of the Peace in
