It is a pity that a writer of such versatility of talent and such range of literary culturo as ex-Sen fit or Ingalls should bo content with th reputation of a brilliant phraseologist in os- eays of incoherent dogmatism without the ox ouse of an honest hobby. In.

his rocont article on tho political parties in this country Mr Ingalls ovincos 8 fatal deficiency alike in. phil oBOphioal discrimination and intollectua candor. "Political parties," be, eayn poets, are born and not made. They ar neither partnorshipe, nor incorporated sooie ties, nor joint stock companies, nor artlfJum beings created by law. They grow by an interior vitality and are not planuod nor con etructod.

They havo no architects nor bull ere, and when their forces are spent and thoi functions performed they disappear. A party IB a social solidarity, a natural group in tho state, composed of men of common mooiurieo, kiudrud COLL victioue, eimilar sympathies, interests ant aspirations upon questions affecting tho civi and political rights of its members and tho continuance of tho national life." Hero ho presents an abstract idea of parties enlarged without improvement from a definition parties by Edmund Burko. Then he proceeds to run this abstraction Into a review partita as they appear in fact and in history. Thus ho plunges into palpable contradictions thst Dorplox his theme and weary tho rsador. An instance of absurd discrepancy between his abstraction and tho reality as ro- gurds party alignments is soon in his remark about tho uroaont condition of tho democratic party with reference to dangerous emergencies confronting it.

"How," ho says, "tho homogeneous and undisciplined (democratic) majority in congress, at war witli themselves nnd the president, can copo with these purita will bo disclosed at tho September session. In this description av2 attar antithesis of a putty as "a social solidarity, a natural croup in tho fitato. compoBod of men of common memoriae, kindred convictions, similar sympathies, interests and aspirations upon questions affecting tho civil and political rights of its members and tho continuance of tho national life." It evidently Buitu tho purpose of Mr. In calls to no to and acueutuato tho differences of our parties an theoretical eocts in politics, rathor than to study nnd explain tbcir resemblances as collective, orgnaio mid inoro or loss predatory appetites. Had ho addressed himself to tho latter task ho could havo shown that between the two old parties, as expressed, not in their idealities but in their actualities tins country is suffering tho throes of Tory expensive and Konorally spoliatory civil war.

Ho could havo shown tlmt again and again these adversaries in their war maneuvers had exchanged their abstract contentions or camped upon tho eamo theoretical territory. Thid wtir eimU thu peuplo directly nt least $500,000,000 a year. It buQles arithmetic to calculate how much more it costs them Indirectly. It isacontost for thospoils by two opposingoolloctivomoimrcha-two old political parties. Each hoa its methods of impos ing benevolences and penalties and of distributing favors and bribes to influential clansman nnd party chiefs.

It is mostly a cowardly war for pl'ju-'er in which bribery is a common resort. Thoro is no danger for tho wary gouorals, who all risks whilo thoy bleed the people more and more during a timo of so-called peace. Tho favorites in these grand armies of extravagance and plunder are BO numerous and exacting that in order to satisfy their demands it ia considered necessary by both aides to extort from the people moro and more each year and moat of the generals in Uiosw armies do not dare to oven suggest such a thing as economy or appreciable reduction of the great war fund. To do so would bo to lose tho support of many of their faithful beneficiaries. Tho question with tho cormorcnt loaders of these clans is how to raine moro money to pay off clamorous lieutenants, who aro ready at any time to tako to tho party that pays the best prices and offers the softest places.

Tho idea of reducing expenses has nover occurred to most of them nt all. To do this would, in their judgment, moan disaster to the nppoti- tive interests and aspirations of thoir party. Parties organized and maneuvered in this spirit consist practically of greedy woll-pon- nionod officiate whose pny coiner at last out of tho thoroughly disciplined privates with glass eyos and corks in thoir oara. It is encouraging to observe signs of growing dofooMon in tho ranks. Tho people are tired of konpmgup standing armies of intestine rapine in timo of pence.

Tho privates threaten to jump tho bounty. Even certain lenders of ono of these armies hnve dared to suggest as a remedy for tho country a reduction rathor than an in- civ-aso of tho monoy uxlurUid from tho rank and file. Mr. Cleveland's enemies in bin own party hold against him thia very thing. Thy i bin ideas of economy.

Thoy do not think that tho amount of revenue extorted from tho people should bo reduced. Thoy contonl that It miit bo largely increased. They want tho Animal domnnds of tho army bill augmented BO that tho party may buy lU way into tho cDictn and Hpoils for nt loHflt twonty-itvo yonra to come. They maintain thnt: thr enhosivu powor of public plunder bhould bo Uflotl on rigid party linos of bribery and bounty. Thoy doapino civil wrvico reform.

They do not consider uny man a good democrat who hesitates to use the offices nn party or personal rewards. They would koop up their army ftvon if it bankrupt tha pooola to do ec. Tbn headstrong young kaiser of Germany iu hi extravagant army bit! has novor demanded tho people as much the load lug spoiUmon of tho republican and domovrntlo parties thia country roqulro of the tax pay lug poo of tho XTuitod Statoe. is teas (turtug to loom that tho doinauOu of this ox travogant youug monarch aro likely to bo disregarded.

L- WHY NO UOXDS. Less is heard now about an issue of bondi than Bomo mouths ago. While tho detormi nation of ttio Washington administration eooma to have removed that subject from th front place; thin has been done, doubtless, un der tho conviction that such issue would hav to Bomo extent a situation which it would not have alterac for tho better except temporarily, flnd wouli at tho samo timo havo complicated it by fur nishirjg cues for partisan opposition ready tc resort to demagogic methods. The Clevolont ilduiiuibtration ia far from wishing to ISBUI bonda. It can not bo natural for the United States to go in debt at this time, and tho ad ministration would not go in dobt to tompora rily avoid the development of a situation whici has to Bo understood and dealt witlh.

No om knows precisely what the resjlt of Bellini bonds would bo. It might induce a system milking the treasury by creating a drain tho newly acquired gold until nn enormous dobt was the result. Meanwhile tho govern mont would Boon have a surplus of silver or notes on hand if it were to pay out gold received from bond ISSUCE and accumulate othor moneys taken as revenue, tho political opponents woul question tho legality of such accumula tion while tho people would bo distressed ovoi its policy as taking money out of circulation. On the populist side agitation must increase under such circumstances. A a of money juRtifif.3 brind issues, but plenty of tnonej nnt oic-js" t.nvn.

Th? indeed furthur nnd hold that tho Sherman law, in authorizing tho secretary of tho treasury to coin as much of tho accumulated silvur shall bo necessary, intended that it should bo used before borrowing, nnd that would bo tt nnturni inference woro there nothing in the public policy of maintaining all tho moneys nt a parity, Ono can not but think that tho wiser course has thus fnr boon pursued in refusing to issue bonds, thus keeping tho underlying situation clear before tho public mind for discussion without antagonism of partisan or factional character having fresh chances to confuse tho politico-financial question. THE idea of drawing the lino against married women, single women or any othor class in selecting toachora la utterly ridiculous. What tho people waut is tho most efliciont teacher, tho very boat sorvico. Whether tho applicant is married or single has nothing to do with It, Tho schools aro neither political conventions nor charity hospitals. 110 A QA VES'l'ON POLITICIAN PROTECTS HIMKKLV.

Tho labor ordinance passed by the recently outgone Galvoston board of nldormon provides that "no pordou shall bo elected to any otllco or bo employed by the city of Galvcttton or by nny contractor under the city unices euch person is a citizen of this stnto and shall have boon a bona fido resident of tho city of Gnlvcstnn for not loss than ono year, pro- 'ided thnt tho requisite labor cun bo had in thu city of Gnlvcfli-on ut a fair rate of wages, not loss thnu $2 pur day." In addition to tho rank odor of selfishness nud greed that tnnkos ridiculous provision smell to lionvon, it is fuihmittcd tlmt its effect if it should bo cou- ilnnod and put into oxocution would bo to build around Galvoston 11 Chinese wall by which Inhnring people, ontwidn thn pmtnofiv.j and monopoly circle would bo generally and oiloctimlly oxuiudod.

In Galveston as oxpoct- inta of somo city employrriuut whilo this ordinance- was in forco thoy would buvo to rout on ours for at least ono your.

It is quite clear tlmt this means absolutely shutting out all capable ana enterprising laborers who aro unnble or unwilling to fold thoir hands nnd mit for timo and tido to qualify them to earn a penny. It will bo observed that this ordinance albo deprives tho idler of tho right to told any oflico or to take employment under ho city as a contractor. Tho gentlemen pasa- it proceeded to protect theniselfoo whilo landing resident majority of prospective bonoficiarics. Tho only privilege oh the ordinance loaves to tho recent nr- rivnl, if citizon of Texns, is to sit round md vote. When it comes to the jobs ho is not it.

It is a good thing for hero- tics that they aro no longer burned. The liockdale Banner writes this characteristic story of tho law's delay In caaea where the criminal has money: Tom Varnell murdered old man Jonas Land in Hill county in March 1882. He then iled nnd it was several years before he was captured and brought to trial. Finally he convicted nnd given nine years in the penitentiary. Thu caae waa reversed by the court of appeals and a ban go of venuo to Ellis county secured, which when the case was Orst culled resulted in mistrial.

After tbis he secured several continuances. More than two years ago ho was convicted ant given twelve years the penitentiary, when the case was again appealed and waa not decided until about two months ago. Then i attlrmod by the court of appeals. There was talk of appealing the case to the United States suptferna court. Siuce his sentence 1ms been affirmed ho by somo unknown menna made his escape from the Waxnbachio jail, but was capturci the next day.

Now comes another chapter in this now notorious cane which is explained by tho following telegram from Waxahachto of June 12: Tho sheriff received a telegram today from P. Walton, clerk of tho criminal court of appeals at Austin, saying that the mandate of tho court ordering Tom P. Var- noil carried to tho penitentiary wns Bent by mail to tho distnot clerk May 27. District Clerk Cooper- says the document has never boon received horo. Notice of the fact was wired to Clerk Walton immediately and an- oflier ordor is looked for to-morrow.

It is moro than passing strnngo that the mandate this especial CQRO should bo lost in the mails, when there nro of others sent by tho Bamo inonns overy year nnd you hoar nothing of their ia tho United States mails. Thu mandate afterward turned up and Tom is now on his way to the pen. See item in today's NEWH. The Bellvillo Times-Standard says: THE GALVEBI-OS NEWS quotes President Cleveland ns saying "damn." We thought bettor of tho president than that. Tho father of his country only swore on special occasions, but some othor presidents, particularly old Zaok Taylor, sworo without occasion.

Tho Soguin Enterprise saya: Tha regatta at Austin's big dam woe nessed by multitudes of people. To uso a popular phrase, it proved good drawing card for Austin. To say that many turned away disappointed speaks the sentiment correctly, but this wns owm'g moro to the lack of conception on thoir part of tho term "regatta" than any lack of effort on tbo part of Austin to make tho occasion a success.

Tha Baotng Dow boy WACBAU, June All thd sve registered and departed for luu oast i THE COLORED CELEBRATION HOW THE ANNIYEUSAET OF EttAK- OIFA1TOH WAS OBBBBVUD. OpUootor Ouuey at Granger's Ordw Putting the in Force, Tho colored population has celebrated June 19, or Emancipation day, as it IB called with tho regularity of clook work since 10GO.

Many persons labor under the improssion that tho day observed is thoaanivuwary of thedato of the emancipation proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, president of tho United States, but this is an error. At tho time President Lincoln issuod his proclamation Texas was afitato in the southern confederacy; was hold by thb foiceeof that government, and was not occupied by the federal forces until Juno 18.1865. On tho 19th Major General Gordon Granger, commanding the department of Texas with headquarters at Galveston, issued general order No. 3, putting the emancipation into effect In tho following words: QESKKAIj GQANGBlt'fl OEDKM. "Tho people ara informed that in accordance with a proclamation from the executive of the United States, all slaves aro froe.

This involves an absolute equality of paisonal rights and rights of property between former masters nnd Glaves, nnd tho connection heretofore existing between thorn becomes that between employer and hired labor. freed men aro advised to remain nt their homes nnd work for They ara iu for mod Ihut thoy will bo allowed to collect at military pusts, and that thoy will not bo supported in idleness either thero or elsewhere." UATUKIIED THBM IN. The situation at Galveston at that time was thus described in a lettor written to THE NEWS, printed at Houston at the time, under data of Juno 21, 1805: ''Last Sunday tho people of Galveaton wore astonished at tho number of colored individuals, of all shades, congregated here. The like has uot beon soon sinco tho war began. The dress, air and swaggorof the motley multitude would have dono credit to tho shoddy aristocracy of the north.

Tho good timo so long promised to thu darkies had evidently ooine. Liko old Uncle Ned, thoy had laid down tho shovol und the hoa, and wero to have no more work. It appears that many persons in the country had allowed thoir slaves to take the emancipation ball aa thoir first hop, and meet thoir deliverers on tho threshold. The arrangement was opportune. With tho proclamation of freedom camo a practical lesson iu its duties.

"On Monday morning a guard of federal soldiers scoured thu streets and picked up every loose nocro that they could lay their hands on to go to tho country and cut wood, man steamboats, or assist in such labor as was necessary fur tbo army.

On ftio 28th of June General Granger issued tho following circular iu relation to former slavos: "No persons formerly Blnvos will bd pormlt- to triivui upon tho piiuiiu thoroujjhfarua without pawos or from tboir employ- era, or to ooogrotfAto in buildings or camps, or ndjucDUl tu uuy military pont or tuwn, Thoy will not be' subsisted in idleness, or in any way except as employes of tho government, or iu causa of extreme destitution or sickness, aud iuiiueh cuaoa the ofllcora authorized to order tbo imues shall bo judgos ns to tho justice of the olnim for such subsistence. Idleness is said to bo productive of vice, and humanity dictates that employment bo furnished those people, while tho in- teront of the common wealth imperatively demands it, In order that the present crop may be uouured.

The first idea has boon proven erroneous by tho statistics of the census bureau, mid the second proposition has also boon shown to bo fallacious, for although thero aro numbers of idle and dissolute negrooa, as well as tlioro avo idle nnd difwolute white men.

Ono of our wide awake exchanges has the following to say respecting the agricultural situation in tho south: "One of tho greatest drawbacks to successful farming in tho south is the old style of doing busmeas on tho credit system.

Tho practice still prevails to a very Inrga eilontof buying on credit aud settling up once a year. As long as this system prevails farming will bo unprofitable. In the first place, when tho planter buys on credit, he is apt to buy more largely and uso loss economy than whon ho puts his hand into his pocket and payacath tor what ho gets; and in the next placo ho pays from 25 to 50 per cent higher prices than when ho pays cash. As long as this system is pur. suod tho planter is buund to be in bondage.

His growing crop is mortgaged, and whan it is harvested he must immediately put it OBI tho market, be the market what It may. "Thus there throo causes which oporate directly find powerfully against his prosperity. It would be far bolter for the planter to go to tho bcnk and borrow tho money, making his nouds as ns possible, rather than pay tho oxtra prices chnrgod by the storekeeper for a few months' accommodation. The credit system is at tho bottom of most of Iho ills from which southern agriculturists have suffered for lo, thcBO many years." Tliose remarks are just and sensible, but ara only partially explanatory of tbo truo condition of ntfaira.
