THE DAILY BANNER.

OuuCl ti4C ldllllOH vi SCI-
centrated Meanness" the Gal
weston M'5gS describes how a
subscriber, who is the proprie-
tor of a corner grocery, is beset
each day by an innumerable
h erd of newspaper borrowers.
All grades, from a colored poll
tician to a washerwoman, are
not too proud to send for the
loan" of the paper, and among
the free gratis subscribers is a
certain alderman.
The BANNER is a happy and
contented paper; it disikes to
complain, but, in this instance,
it follows the example of its
large neighbor, the Meas, and
remarks that among its bust
ness subscribers, there are quite
a number who have regular
customers for the morning BAN
NER. Several merchants are
regularly visited by their poor
er neighbors, merchants, who
read the paper yet never think
of subscribing for it. This is
paobably because of their cx-
IRENE poverty. Without being
egotistical, we venture the as
sertion that there is not a bet
ter read newspaper, in
proportion to the size of the
town in which it is printed and
the papers circulation, than
the BANNER in or out OF Texas.
Everybody reads it, leastwise,
everybody finds out what it has
to say. In view of this fact,
we think the borrowing mer-
chants might strain a point and
subscribe. The publication of
daily paper, small though it
be, is attended with no little
trouble and expense; papers
arc published to make money,
not for fun; the BANNER is no
exception to the rule. 1t has
been the aim of the publishers
of this paper to make it lively
and interesting. If it had a
more liberal support the read
ing matter could be measurably
increased. AT present we are
giving as much as our patron
age justihes. The publication
of a daily paper here has done
much to bring BRENNAN promi-
nently into notice, and has been
a much greater help to the city
than many would suppose.
These remarks are not made in
spirit of dissatisfaction, as we
have no right and do not COM
plain at the amount ofpatronage
now being bestowed upon US.
We, however, are willing to
have more and shall so conduct
the paper as to deserve it. In
this connection we would state
that as a medium for local adj
vertising the BANNER is unex-
celled; it is read every day by
hundreds ofpeople who come in
from the country as well as by
the town folk.

some doubts of Judge Han
cocks Democracy, and, in an
editorial, it demands to know
whether the Judge stands fairly

not in hearty accord with his
party it is his duty as an honora-
bic man to withdraw; if he is, it
is his duty and interest to let it
be known"
