NEw YORK, May 2S.-An Albany special to
the Evening Post states on the authority of
Well Informed persons: It seems now practi-
be re- elected. The failure of the opposition
can occur only In two ways: First, through the
Inability OF the administration men to unite on
proper candidates, and second, on the ability
and Willingness OF the Conkling men to secure
democratic aid.
Mr.. COnkling Lectured
m the Albany special to the Commercial says
This morning The Express comes out with a

enter the field for reelection to the Senate. ana
proceeds to read Mr.. Conkling q lecture for
taking part In the contest He can AFFORD to
himself In the way OF being Inundated. THAT

regarded as OF great significance, as showing
either that an irresponsible editor has made a
great mistake or that Gov. Cornells promises
are like pie crust, only to be broken. The

The Feeling i'm Albany T0.day-NOt
Quite SO Positive About Defeating
the Resigned Senators.
ALBANY, May 23.-But very few members of
tne legislature remained here over Sunday and
they are greatly confused by the uncertain
and indefinite reports sent out from New York.
Those here, who thought last week that there
was not the slightest chance for the return Of
the reS1gn1ng Senators, are not now quite 30
positive, and say 1t largely depends upon their
own wish and desire.
Some OF the state officers. among them GOV.
Cornell, are reported as saying. that II Conk-
ling wants to be reelected It ia the duty OF the
republican majority OF the legislature to re
turn him, and thus save themselves from stulti.

disposition or Intention OF their wing OF the
party.

Bruce entered upon his duties as Register of

for clerEships would have no more weight now
than when he was private citizen. MT. Bruce
has been overwhelmed with applicants for
Office, but he says he cannot make any changes
and iJ would be manifestly improper for him to
be the medium OF pressing applications upon

Powder Magazine RrownUp.

Bridgeport, Connecticut, April 26.-The
Powder magazine belonging to the Union
Metallic Cartridge company, of this city, To-
Gated at Old Mill Green, exploded at twenty
minutes past 10 o'clock this morniDg. The
magazine is three miles north of this city.
Most of the plate glass in the city is
broken. and the damage will amount to
thousands of dollars. The explosion is sup.
posed to have occurred from careless shooting
BY two gunners while out shooting. No
persons were killed, and only two are
reported as wounded. The shock was felt
ten miles away. Great damage was done not
only in this city but for Males beyond it.
Glass was broken and the report heard
across the sound at Fort Jefferson, l.. /.

three miles north of the city. They con-

Three hundred kegs were stored ia the house,

feet from the n%eighboring buildings. The

troyed, but the powder remained unframed.

London, April 26.-The Tunis cores

French consul, had been necessarily pressing
him for over q year TO accept a French

accept. His troops have occupied the

There vas therefore no show of excuse for

The Contractors of n T. & P.RaiirOad
Kick Against the Sale of Liquor
Along she Line.
DR.. Fitzhugh of Fort Worth, who was
arrested by the U, S. authorities and brought
TO this city, was arraigned before U. s. com"
missioner Burford yesterday, to answer to
the charge of selling liquor without license
The court took his own personal recogniz-
auce to appear before the Federal court. II
appears that DR.. Fitzhugh has an agent who
is running a saloon for him, moving II along
with the extension of the road. Lie had a
license to sell at a point near Colorado river,
and when the road pushed o. he applied to
collector Ludlow of the 3rd district, for a
transfer of license to Big Springs, which
was granted the first of March 1881. After
this, 10 order to keep constantly at the head
of the extension, he again applied to nave nj.
license transferred indefinitely that he might
keep constant pace with the extension, but
the collector wrote him that it could not be
granted, vet notwithstanding this it seems the
saloon was moved to Colts camp. near
section 3I1, where the ardent was dealt out
without the proper license to authorize its
sale. On learning this Collector Ludlow
ordered the arrest of DR.. Fitzhugh. Wnether
or not the saloon was moved at the instance
of DR.. Fitzhugh remains to be seen.
As a rule the contractors along the line
are very much opposed to liquor being
sold and make it a business to watch and
report any discrepancies on the part OF
saloonists who may violate the revenue avs

Blue Grass i'm Texas.

A citizen of Dallas, in March, 1880, sowed
in his yard seed of the far-famed Kentucky
blue grass. The ground Is a close, sandy,
post oak coil, shaded considerably by post
oak trees. The experimenter having been
born on blue grass ground in Missouri, believes
that lift would grow anywhere in Texas il
would on such land. II was sowed on the
natural, unplowed surface. The seed come
up, grew and lived through all of the sum-
mer, remaining green until the hard freezes
of January. Late 10 the fall he again
scattered the seed on the vacant places. The
result is that now the grass Of last years
growth is going TO seed at q height
of from ten 70 fifteen inches. The seed sown
last fall has come up and rs from two to four
inches high. 1t is forming q compact sod

the trouble goes on. Cowles has q we'll os-
tablisbed newspaper and considerable char
acter. and in the end no will certainly trl.
umph over his ASSISTANTS. In n majority Of
cases whers attempts have been made In this
country to establish newspapers on an absurd
bases of values, chantage or blackmailiDg has
been one of the chief sources Of supply. The
difficulty of producing a paper and placing 1t
before the public ut cost, or less than cost,
naturally forces the publishers into devious
ways and all sorts of disreputable chemes.
There are some honorable exceptions among
the cheap papers of the land, for 1t is posi-.
BILE for a journal Of this class, after 1t has
secured Autonomous circulation, to live fairly
and d%ecently by legitimate methods. Take
the Chicago News for instance, with its
great circulation Of 70, 900 per day, and the
New York News, with its 100, and it is
plain that a very handsome profit can be
made by these journals from advertising
if not from circulation. But in nearly every
prominent city of the land there is
a blotch upon journalism in the shape Of Il
cheap paper, which from physical reasons
and lack of brain and character, never can
achieve circulation enough to lift it above the
bread and water condition of things. These
papers stsrve their employees and struggle
and die without even disturbing the junk
market. In lite they are strident, offensive
and virulent, mistaking course sensation.
alism for enterprise, and when their
extremity comes they are as unrelent-
ing IS the daughter Of the horse
leech in their Matchmaking schemes.
The more money they lose the more vicious
and venomous they become toward those who
are supposed to stand in their way. II is
almost possible to Judge by the virulence of
these papers the measure of their credit at
the banks. As their funds are exhausted
and their hopes dashed their crooked natures
are revealed, even as tho beggars sores
show, through his tatteret garments.
1t is to be regretted that a profession
which holds out such brilliant
inducements 10 men of talent, which wields
should be weighted down by this species of
fungi, but the legal profession has its sbysters,
the race-course its "welchers'' and the guild
of the Zingari its thieves. 1t is for the public
t. Judge between honorable journalism and
that which seeks by adventurous
means to attain ends which
are alone the recompense Of honest am
bition and properly directed effort. To
the credit of the public be it said that its
discernment is sharp and keen. The sea of
journalism is strewn with the wrecks of pi.
ratical penny crafts dashed to pieces by the
fierce winds of public diGapprobation, and
its shores are whitened with the bones OF men
allied in attributes, and instincts to just such
social offenders as have been shipped from
NeWgate to Tyburn at tn. tails of carts, or
have swungin gibbets from time immemorial.
