heads off some Of Tenelrs lies and then let
him 60.
MAxAMrLLIAN TERRELL is barking at Gov
Davis heels.
THERE is no doubt that Useless 5. Grant
was gratihed to l-arn firm Mr.. Spencer that
the practice of TAXI Tribes has not, as sup
posed, been recently born Of corruption, but
is venerable for its antiquity, being survival
Of one of the oldeS cu'om, known to man.
-[San Antonio Express.
This venal sheet never looses an opportu-
nifty to say something mean about Grant.
Gen. Grants good name and fame will live
long after all such little snarlers as the Ex-
press have persisted because Of the law OF
evolution, that will 6nallyilliminate the little
ness of the race.
THE Galveston News is very unhappy. The
Candidates for Congress in the 9TH and Ist
Districts are all for deep water and protection
which the News declares in compatible, that
their is no use of deep water if protective tariff
is to be maintained, we'll then it would be
good idea for the government to stop work on
Galveston bar and put its money in some
other Texas Seaport where they can officiate.
The republican idea of protecting home indus
tries are helping the foreigner to get into our
wharfs and take off our cotton, wheat, wool. etc
THE Express, of our city, pretends to advo-
cate protective tariff and support John Han
cock, the tariff for revenue only candidate.
The Times, with more consistency, opposes
protection, and says in regard to the WOOL
growers before the tariff commission:
If such is their mission then all protected
classes will be safe, provided their work is to
stand, but the whole thing will come before
congress, where the great battle in favor OF
the rights of the many against the expressions
should be on the side of the people, protec-
ton will 60 down, to rise no more.
The tariff is the only national issue in this
district. Every one who believes that our
material interests will be benefited by protec.
ton must support Gov. Davis.
TERRELL, subject of the late Macmillan,
has been 'sicked' upon Governor Davis.
OF course, the Hancock-committee pay to
have Terrell trumpet blown through the press
HIS speech is nothing but an impudent
false statement, so far as state matters 20, but
his charge that Davis ANNOUNCED but one
idea of national policy, and that was protec-
ton Of pampered industries by a tariff at the
oE he loh
only question of national politics at issue in
the contest, and as Terrell speaks as the
champion Of John Hancock we are justified in
assuming that the issue is complete. Davis is
for protection to extent Of building up our in
FAINT industries. Hancock is for free trade.
All this democratic abuse of Davis, about the
police and martial law is poppy cock; the PEG
pie are looking to the present and future and
Gov Davis will make them an able, honest
representative in congress.
The New York Times says of its experience
with the Edison light: THE whole lamp
looks so much like a gas-burner surmounted
by shade that nine people out of ten would
not have known the rooms were lighted by
electricity, except that the light was more
brilliant than gas and hundred times steadier
To turn on the light nothing is required but to
turn the thumbscrew; no matches are needed
no patent appliances. AS soon as it is dark
enough to need artificial light, you turn the
thumbscrew and light is there with no nause-
GUS smell, no flicker and no glare. The light
was soft, mellow and grateful to the eye, and
it seemed almost like writing by daylight to
have light without particle of flicker and
with scarcely any heat to make the head ache.
The electric lights in the Times building were
thoroughly tested in single evening, and
tested BY men who have battered their eyes
sufficiently by years of night work to know
the good and bad points of lamp, and the
decision was unanimously in favor Of the Edi-
SON electric lamp as against gas"
The Texas Observer, religious paper pub.
lished at Dallas says "a God-detying youth
named Conrad Terrell was killed on the 18th
of las, month by lightning" Considering
that the youth in question leaves hearth broker
relatives, the reference TO him is unkind, un
called for and unchrisrian. Such vindictlve
ness is far from becoming in protested rel
gious paper Brenham Banner.
