THE Galveston Neaes publishes proposed
congressional apportionment for Texas, which
gives the opposition one Congressman and
only leaves 800 Democratic majority In an
other district. Not much gerrymander In
that, considering the $4,000 Democratic ma
Jority over Republicans and Greenbackers
combined.-i0st.
Ifthe Post will sit down in some quiet
corner with map of Texas in one hand
and Tribune almanac in the other, it will
soon find that the counties in Texas which
give heavy Republican and anti Bourbon
majorities lie together in such fashion
that it is impossible to carve out eleven dis
tricts without giving the Bourbon opposi-
tion at least one district and making two
OF three more doubtful. The Critic has
seen the proposed apportionment and must
confess that it is very able gerrymander. 1t
IL, however, highly probable that the Demo-
cratic Legislature will not apportion the
State at all this year, but will elect the
entire delegation of eleven on a general
ticket, whereby the Democratic majority Of
75,ooo, more or less, will have "fair''
chance.

Admiring the bold and fearless manner In
which your lively sheet exposes the "doings

which may be Of interest especially TO those
directly concerned: II VIII be remembered at
the time OF the wholesale discharge at tho
Yard IL was stated that a son Of the superln-
tendent was retained while others had TO go.
This was corrected as II was ascertained no
was alss "bounced" The son, who is a first
class moulder (or at least receives the pay for
such), on his exit from the Yard was, through
the agency Of said superintendent, appointed
hs machinist In the Fish Commission by tho
Al appoinlee employed 10 make such appoint
ments' The said mechanic never handled
steam engine before, and now he Is employed
20 run steam launch in the Commission
The attention OF Professor Baird Is respect
fully called 10 the loose manner in which in
competent men are employed by his agent 10

Tor this class Of work are always examined as
TO their ability 10 perform, but We must note
an exception In this case. man who cannot
tell a safety-yalye from a steam-gauge, or the
back-pressure In the cylinder from the Initial
pressure In the boiler, leave TO the editor
and the machinists of this city to Judge OF his

1T is FINE that the Foreign Affairs Com

THE Sunday Herald has come to the res
cue of the court-martial that tried and con-
demned Mason. 1t justi6es the court in
its findings as being according to law and
in giving Mason all the punishment posi-
BILE. IfMason is a sane man, he should be
punished because he violated law, but it is
not customary to punish such violations so
severely. THE CRITIC has no doubt that
the court violated the law in assuming to
try Mason and that the latter will soon be
released, notwithstanding the additional
judgment pronounced by the Herald.

THE CRITIC will tomorrow show how
easily members of Congress can be imposed
upon, and, by few lines inserted in gen
eral bill, cause parties to be relieved of liza
bilities to the Government of about 100000,
incurred for Government money expended
In violation of law. Members of Congress
are specially requested to read that article
when it appears.

IT APPEARS that Shipherd was able to
carry on a conversation, as well as con-
duct correspondence, all by himself.
Evidently the great mistake of Shepherds
life was his abandonment Of the pulpit.
He was apparently destined to found a new
sect, but missed his calling.

The bill reported from the Judiciary
Committee to fix the salary of the Supreme
Court reporter and to print and sell the
reports at small advance on cost should
be passed. Another bill to regulate the
fees Of the clerk of that court would be
right. As the matter now stands, the
clerk, a subordinate officer of the court, re-
ceives yearly more pay than the salary of
three or four of the Justices

THE CIVIL SERVICE reformers who up.
held President Garfield in removing Mer-
ritz to make room for Robertson, make a
poor show when they condemn President
Arthur for appointing Worthington to sue
ceed Beard at Boston. But hypocrites al
ways do make poor show.
The Evening critic., 1882-04-10

THE New York Mail aud Express de-
clares that President Arthur is not taking
any hand whatever in the politics of the
Empire State, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. We presume not. Proba-
bly, Mr.. Arthur is giving his whole atten-
tion to the politics of the Pacific Slope.

THERE is still abundant room for sus-
picion that the agents of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company knew what they
were talking about when they boasted-
during Carl Schurz's late visit to Wash
ington-that they chad got the land-grant
bill where they could handle it." The
Judiciary Committee seems to be studying
the problem of How not to do it.

THERE is an old adage which says,
Liars should have long memories
We have received copy of the " Hotel
Advertisers Guide" for 1892 in which We
find an advertisement of the EUeaiag Su,
in which it is stated I" its circulation on
April was 2l,594 copies" Turning to the
Gle Of that paper, in the issue of Monday,
April 3, we find at the head of its editorial
column, just bonoath another manifest lie
that is kept standing in black type Ito the
effect that the Star has more than treble the
circulation of any other daily paper in the
city,, this statement: " The circulation of
last Saturdays april y issue was 2o3s6.'
Here is discrepancy of !, ,40S copies in the
two statements of the circulation of tho
same days issue, which proves the truth of
the adage quoted above. The star has been
lying about its circulation so long to mis-
lead its advertisers and patrons that it
would possibly be asking too much to re-
quest it TO quit, but as ardent admirers
of its talent for lying, we do hope it
will try TO be consistent in its lies

Death and Destruction.

The destructive messenger has under
peculiar circumstances twice within the
last year taken off two of our own.
Whether this is the result of an assassin or
from natural causes we cannot definitely
say. The first of these, young Thomas,
suddenly died about year ago without
any previous warning to those who daily
saw him.. The second, young Taby. as
suddenly and mysteriously as the other
passed away on yesterday morning after a
short attack of fits and convulsions. These
two domestics were excellent mousers and
particularly valuable to us for the whole
some fear which their presence impaired to
the rats and mice which heretofore came
in droves around our premises.
If this atfliction comes from mutual
causes we meekly and humbly submit. But
if it is the result of human interference we
cantlidly and honestly believe that any per
son who would premeditatedly and with
malice aforethough5, poison poor cat the
property of another, would do the same
thing to their fellow man if it were not fol

anniversary of MIR and Mrs. Buforl's
wedding day. The guests marched to the
residence anil presented to the host and
hostess numerous presents selected for the
occasion, after which they all repaired to

had been specially prepared for the occasion.
After all had partaken freely of the good
things of the table, and number of appro-

evenings exercises were concluded by a
short time spent in dancing.
