The Houston Post.

The Houston Post replying
to an article on Personalities"
published in the BANNER a few
days ago, says 1--WE desire no
quarrel with the BANNER, with
whom We have always cultiva-
ted courteous relations and will
go out of the way for a moment
to explain" 1t then explains
that it rejects many communi-
cations on account of personal
tiles and that 1t frequently elm
mates the letters of a certain
correspondent. We can truth
fully repeat the words of the
Post, with whom we have always
cultivated courteuos relations.
The Post says it knows the
party who writes its letters from
Brennan and will give his
name if demanded. His name
is generally known here. In
this issue appears the report Of
the grand jury to the district
judge. In that report reference
is made to a communication
published in the Post, and we
call the special attention of the
Post thereto, and would remark
that a correspondent who makes
reckless charges and assertions
in one instance, is liable to do
so in another. We have other
matters demanding our atten-
ton than looking after and re-
futing charges made in other
papers by anonymous cores
pondents. With this explana-
ton we propose letting the mat
ter drop. +,

A CLEMENT factory. at Wind

pacity of the mill for one day
is 1000 pounds seed cotton con-
vertcd into yarn. 1t employees

ton is worth three cents per
pound, making a daily expense
of $50; the expense of skilled
labor-engineer, fremcn, etc,
fuel operatives, and inciden-
tails, SI2.Io; total, s42.Io. The
product ofthc mills 500 pounds
of yarn, at 20 cents, $780, ~
bushels of cotton seed, at 10
cents, $500; waste ETC., 81 total,
S64.2o, which leaves a net profit
of S22.Io on the days work.
The interest on capital and in
sqrance and wsar on machinery
is not included in the above.
By operating the entire year
the profits, after paying all ex-
pcnses, will considerably exceed
50 per cent, on the original in
vestment. Several other fact
cries OF this kind, using the
Clement attachment, are soon
to be built in North Carolina.

PROF. c. v. RILEY, chief of
the United Safes Entomologic-
al commission was in St. Louis
last week; and, by invitation,
addressed the members Of the
Cotton Exchange of that city.
The commission has reduced
the cost of poison to one-fourth
what it used to be by introduce
ing, a year ago, London purple
as a substitute for Paris green,
and it has this year given quite
general satisfaction, The pres
ent year their experiments have
resulted in improved appliances
that will kill both the young
cotton and the young boil
worm and enable the planter TO
protect three acres with the ma
terial and labor that he has so
far had to put on one acre. He
expressed the belief that the cot
ton and boil worm vas virtual
ly conquered.

Newspapers and Railroads.

The Dallas Times, in its issue
Of the 25d inst, accuses the
BANNER of endeavoring to cover
up the short comings of the
Houston and Texas Central
railway, saying: at dares not
say ought against the manage
ment Of the Texas Central cor
poration. Very few, if any Of
the papers along that line ever
give an account of the frequent
wrecks and terrible condition
Of the road" The BANNER
has never knowingly withheld
the publication of the particu-
lars of accidents on that road
happening in this vicinity. The
Times should know that rail-
roads are close corporations
and that the employees on all
roads are pledged to secrecy
when an accident occurs, and
if the particulars are ever OBJ
tanned for publication, they
must be obtained from others
than those in the employ of the
road. The BANNER has pub
lished more against the Central
road than any newspaper in this
section of the state, and it is
under no obligations to any
company to withhold the publ
cation of any facts concerning
any railroad or its management.

that he had retired from pol

of his election, as the district is
reliably republican. The old

nominated Simon Barr, the pri-

PERSONALITIES.

alitics. 1t says "the Post can
never inaugurate personal dis
cussion, except it be Of COM
mandatory nature, and then
taste should rule The BAN
-.NER has no disposition to dictate
to its neighbor the Post, but it
is compelled to say it allows
some of its correspondents
very wide range in the matter
of referring to both persons and
things. As it says taste"
should rule, we presume the
publications made were suited
to its taste. Personalities in
journalism should be studious-
ly avoided. The public acts Of
public officers are legitimate
subjects of criticism as well as
are the utterances Of public
speakers, but indirect attacks
upon officers and wholesale
charges that can not be proven
or substantiated should be stud
iausly avoided. Nearly every.
man has real or fancied grew
ances, but he should never be
allowed to use the press as
means of venting his spleen, es-
pecially when he hides his iden-
ity under a nom de plume, or
perhaps writes his articles with
out any signature or mark what
ever by which he can be iden-
tilted. The man who has re-
course to this means of crafty
ing a personal spite is usually
an unpopular man in the COM
munity in which he lives. 1t
may be set down as an almost
iXfiexible rule that no man be-
comes generally unpopular or
obnoxious to a community un-
less he gives some cause. Al
most every town has a man or
men of this kind.
There is no established rule
as to the admissibility Of conf
munications ola personal nature
it is question of journalistic
ethics which each individual
editor must settle for himself,
hence as the Post says, it is a
matter Of taste. All well regu-
lated newspapers exclude mat
ter of this kind, especially if the
animus is apparent on the face
ofthe article; the writer ofwhich
usually calls it a piece" and it
is bad piece at that,
Hardly a week passes that
the BANNER is not called upon
by somebody who wants to
publish a piece" about some
body else, in which he propos-
es calling the offending party
names, that are in the language
of the law calculated to provoke
a breach of the peace; these
men want to sign their names
and pay for their advertisements.
For obvious reasons such adj
refreshments are inadlnissable,
if published for one, they would
have tobe published for all, and
it would only be a question of
time how soon newspaper be-
came a regular mud-mill en-
ployed exclusively by rival dirt
singers. II the laws ofthe coun-
try are incapable of settling the
differences between individuals
they must settle them personal
ly. The reading public demand
news and care nothing about
individual differences, but if in
dividuals allow their differences
to lead them into a fight and
