Our Ep:srprisiUg M orning Paper.


1t is q disagreeable thing to criticise the
shortcomings of the San Antonio Express,
the only morning daily of our city-and pa
per that pretends to be 6rst-class newspaper,
but now and then that paper is guilty of such
gross imposition upon its pa'rons and the pub
lie that we cannot refrain from comment. For
instance, in this mornings paper appears
what purports to be report of Mr.. Healey's
speech at Turner hall last evening, in which
language is, attributed to Mr.. Healy. which he
did not utter, and we were astonished to know
how the Express could have made up the re-
port without having reporter present, until
we glanced at the Galveston News of the sd
inst. and found the report Of the speech of Mr..
Healy as reported in that paper, delivered in
that city on the sd inst.
The Galveston News report opens in this
way:
Mr.. Healy was received with prolonged APP
plause, and returned his thanks for the warmth
Of Texas, her greatness and her future pros.

deal, as Ireland had, by newspaper misrepre-
sentation. To know Texas is to love it, and
for all that false statements had gone out
about her, he yet knew that here there is free
dom of speech and of action. He discussed
the newspaper reports concerning the Irish
agitation, and maintained that the associated
press reports give stress only to the record of
crime in that country.
The Express report opens in this way:
Mr.. Healy was received with loud applause,
and returned his thanks for the fervor of the
welcome accorded. He spoke briefly of Tex
as, her greatness and her future prospects,
and said she had suffered good deal, as Ire
land had, by newspaper Misrepresentation.
To know Texas is to love it, and for all that
false statements had gone out about her, he
yet knew that here there is freedom of speech
and action. He discussed the newspaper re-
ports concerning the Irish agitation, and main
tanned that the Associated Press reports give
stress only to the record Of crime in that
country.
And so on, throughout, the enterprising ed
itor of the Express literally flched from the
News report Of Mr.. Healy's speech at Gal
weston and gave it as his speech in this city.
A newspaper with no more enterprise, decen-
ey or spirit than this, ought to be kicked from
every enterprising mans door.

NEW YoRK, March 1O.-Sales of
stocks so far have been at fractionally
higher figures, and the tone of the
market is frmer, with better foreign
demand. Yesterday insiders in the
management bought St. Paul and
Chesapeake & Ohio currency bonds,
which have advanced three points on
good buying.
Gould said yesterday that the de-
prassion this week had been greater
than he expected. The city Of Berlin
bought more stock and more Erie
seconds than was looked for, and the
bears put out a great deal of short
stock. There was now, however, a
strong interest on the bull side, and he
did not think that the bears would
gain such another advantage. The
market might not 80 up very
decidedly until the April corner has
been turned. There were large
disbursements to be made by the gov.
crnment and by corporations for the
redemption Of interest, and dividends
would make the money market ex-
tremely easy after the first of April,
and he expected then to see good
bull market. If the bears became
frightened and began to cover, it
might set in sooner. Sage and Van
derbilt talk bullish. The latter is
said to have made a purchase of an
other large lot of governments. The
prediction of higher and lower prices
for Louisville & Nashville and the
coal shares are about equally divided.
A statement is made that Gould will
receive dividend of twelve million
dollars on Missouri Pacific.

some Of the leaders of that party after
the introduction of the 1908 bill in
the Legislature, was disgusting beyond
measure. The 1908 bill was never
mentioned during the canvass for
Governor, and the attempt to fasten so
odious a thing upon the people was
ridiculous in the extreme. There
we're some papers that opposed its
passage, declaring it to be obnoxious
to the best interest of the people, but
after its passage they desired that the
people should submit to it. If it was
obnoxious before its passage, what was
there in it to render it less obnoxious?
And if it was not less obnoxious after
its passage, why should the people be
required to submit to it? Surely. the
gods have crazed the peoplel Long

Considerable Increase Since

New York, March 10.-R G. Dun

failures for the last seven days at 143,
against 129 last week. The Eastern
States had 20, Western 81, Middle q,
Southern A, Pacific 10 and New

failure in New York City is William
Rutner & Co., an old and respectable
house in the leather trade. The stop

which cannot compete with American
goods, and the business has been eat

IT is understood here that both the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tees are to meet sometime next week
in Nashville. not together or on the
same day, but each one on its own
accord. Whether or not this will lead
to oyertures from either side for re-
union and a call for a Convention rep
resenting all the Democrats of the
State, remains to be seen. That such
a course would be practical and sensi :
bic, no thoughtful man in the party

A GRAY-HEADED CLAIM.
Major ID. M. Piatt, of COvingtOD,
Pursuing Congress for a
Claim Originating in the
War of 1912.
Special to the Courier-JournaI. ]

Special to the Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, March 8.-Major B,
NJ. Piatt, of Covington, KY, had a
hearing to. day before the Senate Com
mittee on Claims, on an old bill for in
terest due from the government,
which has history almost as long and
curious as the Mark Twain beef con
tracts. His uncle died in Washing
ton trying to get his pay for supplies
furnished the army of the Northwest
during the war of 1872, and for sixty
years the heirs have been after the
balance. The claim is now presented
on behalf of Hannah G. Granditt, a
surviving sister, and since the promise
of President Monroe to pay it, has
been before every President and every
Congress, and the principal allowed by
the Court of Claims. The interest
which the heirs have been deprived of
amounts to over $13l,000. A bill
allowing it has passed ten times in one
or the other houses, but has failed by
some slip or delay of Incoming a law.
The last payment of the principal was
not made until about ten years ago.
