The Denison Esr<ld s4ss: III TIL
den forcloses the mortgage which he
holds on the D-uccratic party, aud
Grant takes hold of the Republican
machine, sn independent candidate
like Judge d wis would sir up things
tremendously"
HIRE is the way TIE editor of the
Gainesville HesperiSa gets on his muscle
in double loaded editorial: During
the vet ltions ofJay Gould, who as
every body knows is mean, Sinking
Republican. md 8 proprietor of the
New York Tribune, be has Ueeb port
ed as frequently taking occasion to ssy
that Gov. Seymour, OF New York, is
about going insane. 1, is black, false
and malicious lie. aud We care not if
Jay Gould 10 its author, it is neverthe-
less false"
The Dallas Tines wants the Demo-
cratic party to get strsigh: upon the
taxing of. liquor dealers. The Times
says: THE fact is, the Law Is simply
imDrsct!csble, in 50 far as its enforce
ment is Concerned. The experience of
one year has proved that it IL, as 10
many other thipgs, the Sixteenth Leg
islature was jlst slsshIng around-dU-
ing something that it thought particu-
lsrly smart, without any reference to
peculiar fitness for Texas. The state
Democratic convention will no doubt
put the party right on this issue. 1t
will favor the rcq lirement Of license
tax from every dealer engaged in vend-
ing alcoholic and malt lqlors; but
will not be guilty OF the sOsurdity of
leaving the dealer and bis customers
to tax themselves"
The Examiner properly enough wants
3 cOss: survey for Texas. Il saga there
are several Inlets, but it knows nothing
of the superior merits of any given
point. It says: "Some cry out for
Sabine Pass. GALVESTON claims her
haroor, the STATESMAN cries for the
mouth of the BrszDs, the citizens of
Cuero Slain Mstsgorda or Arkansas
bays as the great hcrto-, but nobody
knows. Every bay, lagoon and fab pond
on the Atlantic coast is covered with
cIiss-cross interlscing lines of trsngula-
ton, their literal currents, t'y forces.
tidal currents and all other like sub
iects, are matters of record, while west
of the mouth IF the Mississippi the
whole Thousand miles OF coast is q real
terra incoguita. What we need is
thorough and complete coast survey.
This is precedent to all hsrbor work
that will ever be worth cent to the
state. 1t is not wheezy dredge boats
that we need, but engineers, and If local
tiles would only let cur Congressman
up for while so that they could
bend their energies to secure for US the
coast line for such survey, the ques-
ton of Texas harbor would be set
tied. When once the people of the
State and Congress could be shown
from coast survey reports that great
'hsrbor on the Texas coast is possible,
and shown which that harbor is, and
what the plan, the cost, the time, that
harbor would become fixed fact.

On the evening of the seventeenth
an occultation of Mars by the moon

baths, the job will not be finished be-
fore s o'clock.

IT is thought that when the DISPOSE
tion of the United States. in the mat
ter of 9 canal across the isthmus, is
known in France, IL. de Lesseps will
be unable to secure loan for it's con-
struction. Since this may be the re-
suit, the United States should, of
course, fork over the cash. Then all
will be lovely, and Ammen, when
Grant dons the purple, will be vicc-
gerent of Panama, on a salary of 800,
0C0 year, with pIcklnRs on canal tolls
that would make Babcock hide his
face with chsgrin.

Mr.. GEo. w. BucKLEv, editor Of
the Bath Creek (ATiehigsI) Tribune, is
in the city. He is Masking the tour of
Texas. and is gong to travel sill over

to Grant, tbinks his election would be
the end of the Republic, and though a
Republican, knows that Bayard would
sstablish pure goverhment.

THE Republicans in Congress are be-
ginning to show signs of desire to
have Congress adjourn before the thir-
ty-tirst of June, the day of the conven-

to go home before attending the con-
