X.ESTIME. The Eydrant Judjroahip Contest TO THE NKwa.1 April is to be a special meeting of thu 'board of aJdermen Tuesday night, at which 6uo of the most important questions to settle will bo whether ithe city osn afford to take and pay for moN hyrlrants from the water company for Ore protection. The city now hi'E ion hydrants, paying J100 per year for each, and: under contract for fifty years, of which oUy two years havo expired. Any other hydrants taken by the corporation must be, under the contract with the water company, hired for tho uuexpired term of the original agreement; whioh-in this casu is forty- eijht years, aud at the sariio jarice as now paid. The hydrants now oivned b'y the city can, properly distributed, protect the business portion of the town, while it would require a large number to give adequate protection to the residence property.

The aldermen have invited the citizaus to be present at the meeting next Tuesday night ana to express their vlon's on liho subject. One of the neatest and most compact httfo judicial districts the country portions of Texas Is that comiosod ot the country of Andorson, Henderson and Houston, and there will be an equally nice contest for the judgeship There is Counselor A. 'VV. Gregg, who would take the place and fill it ably too, but he will not go into any contest for nomination. Then iMstriet Attorney Robert McGlure would object, it is to adorn the bench in tbe court-house of this coUnty, nor in the massive structure in Houston county.

Judge Reeves, who formerly served on the state tn- prame bench, is also mentioned, but it is said he would nol; acoept. The veteran jurist is yet ic the full vigor of his mental powers, 'aud deservedly esteemed by dosses lu this community. T'here aro half-a-doifm other lawyem, whose na'inis wilj come to the front before long, when their natural modesty has been somewhat overcome. Whether there will bo a judicial district convention or noi will depend a. good, deal upon tlie action of tho Republicans in the district, who, before ths election, may have a word to sav in the contest, and, in that event, ths Democraoy had better be united.

With two candidates from the Democracy they could easily be beaten, as the vote in the Garfield election Bere it is: Democratic-- Andarson, J395; Henderson, 930. Total," sreS. Republican--Anderson, Houston, 1060; 344. Total, 24B1. And ft might be well for tho politicians to bear in that the radicals may be on the warpath fall.
