AN unfRItNDLY ATTITUDE.

The course pursued by the Galveston
'ews for the last several months h such
! 70 leave no doubt that II ID bitterly
oslile 10 every interest aud policy Of
orth Texas and simply because u Is
lorth Texas There are several reasons
or this, prominent among which are
hese Since the railroad ago has
lawned upon US, wa have nany easily
accessible markela open 10 ua, and arc
no longer compelled 10 pay tho enor
nous por oeniage Of tho good old OK
cart days 10 the merchants Of Calves
ton, We need no longer aubmlt our
cotton and other outgoing productions,
IN we'll as our imporiatlons 10 the OK
cesuye aud almost prohlbltory rates Of
her giant wharf monopoly
While the NelOs brayely batlled with
that, We were inclined to tho theory
that whatever dalyestons balelul policy
was, that paper was not party 10 IT,
But since the appearance OF the whole
column advertisement In the paper
il has been az silent IN the grave
To tho evils wrought by these excess
I've charges, Apparently tho Naos
has gone over 10 tho snemy
aud thus sanctions the Wholesale
robbery Of the producers OF Texas
This weight falls more heavily upon
us ofnorth Texas, because No ara the
heaviest producers and our merchants
the heaviest importers, Another cause
for this hostility iai The railroad age
has brought with II lta own proper
handmaidon and illustrator, the telc'
graph, and our people noed no longer
send their money 10 Galveston for the
news,
Our own north Texas papers have
grown with tho development Of the
country, and ara equal 10 the Nelos ~
mere nows mediums and VASTLY supc'
rior to II in being fully in accord with
the people politically and in tho way
of business, and arc besides u whole
day In advance with Geographic intelli-
genoe from tho outside world, The
handwriting on tho wall 10 becoming
so plain that even the wllIully blind
are being forced to read, and SEQ, The
conviction is rapidly forcing itself upon
the people that the city and her great
exponent are both at last thoroughly
united in n crusade against the inter.
eats of people who, since the first
settlement of the country, have kept
themselves poor by paying an excessive
tribute to the Galveston merchants, and
who have at last been driven away by
this uniriendlness
When our rapidly increasing imporN
lance demands increased judicial iacili-
ties, and when the bar of Galveston,
following the lead of the paper, array
themselves squorsly against us in the
matter upon no stronger base than
that the establishment of the court
here will enable our citizens ito be
sued, without the right TO sue in res
turn" no more is needed to establish
the charge OF hostility, Notwthstand.
ing this, we have another instance of
this veteran hostility in tho covert uns
demanded opposition to the candidacy
of Governor Throckmorton by the
NeeS, because he is representative
man of northern Texas. We would
have nothing to complain Of if only
the fight were openly waged But we
submit, if it is not too much for human
patience, when nothing better than the
New York HcralTS rehashed political
fables are hurled at the deienseless
head OF our candidate. OF all the
modes of death by which mon are re,
lieved of the burden of life, to be
thumped to death with rotten eggs and
rotten pumpkins is about the most of
fensve and unsavory.
When the Ns'cs opposes our desires
in regard to the federal court matter
because no democrat can get the ap>
pointment, one is compelled to hold his
breath ut this bold exhibition of Bour.
bonism on the part Of paper never be-,
fore accused OF even mild degree of
pure democracy. The wonder only is
that this rabid democratic paper toler,
ates republican in the custom house,
or that it does not open trenches before
that institution, and drive it Oft the iss
land, or force Mr.. Hayes to remove the
republican collector and appoint
democrat in his place Is it not strange
that with all this indisputable array of
hostility to our section that our people
yet countenance and support the pa
per which is tireless in its efforts to de.
feat every enterprise, and throw every
obstacle in the way of our progress
