The Gould Monopoly.

The Houston Post of last
Sunday hasa thoughtful edi-
torial on the consequences of
the purchase by the Gould syn
dictate of the ST. Louis and San
Francisco railroad. 1t is alleg-
ed and truly that by securing
control of this road Gould )effec-
tually cuts off the Houston and
Texas Central and the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
roads from any and all connec-
ton with the great trunk lines
of the union and reduces them
to mere local roads, depending
entirely upon the Gould monop-
oily for any outlet, and also be-
ing subject to meet terms as he
may see fit to dictate. The re-
suit anticipated is a rise in the
price of freights to which the
people of Texas will be compel
ed to submit, being powerless TO
resist. The Post asks are the
Texas companies going to sub
NIT to this circumscription and
relegation to a subordinate po-
sition? Are the people gener-
ally content to place their necks
under the yoke of a monopoly
The Post depends upon the
Texas railroads for an answer
and says that in order to write
freely on the subject it has not
consulted with the officers of the
Houston and Texas Central
who have their headquarters at
Houston. 1t can see but one
way out of the dilemma, and
that is, the construction of an
independent line of railway
notrh to a connection with the
great trunk lines going east,
To do this would cost a vast
sum of money, and when done
the Gould combination would
put its rates down. A few days
ago there was a meeting of rail-
way freight agents of Texas
railroads in St. Louis to agree
upon a freight tariff and as the
Gould combination owns all
the roads leading to Texas, it is
quite probable that they made
the rates to suit Their own inter
ests and.convenience. Accord
ing to the Post there is no ex-
trication from the dilemma ex-
cept by extraordinary effort
and heavy expenditure.

The Flatonia Argus thinks
that the governor ought to be a
lawyer because he has to care
fully read all acts of the leglsla-
ture and pass upon there con-
stitutionality before signing
them. 1t has no objections to
farmers filling various offices,
but it wants the office holder to
be thoroughly qualified to hold
the position and does not want
him elected simply because he
is a farmer. The some rule
applies to all other trades, oc-
equations and professions.

Saccharine Matter.

The Brennan Daily BANNER
is not quite as large as some
daily papers in the State, yet
according to the size, it contains
as much news as any of them,
and in the matter of brief edi-
torial comments, and bright
paragraphs, it has no superior
in Texas. We make up most
of our State Items column from
the BANNER.
The above highly compliment
tary notice from Texas Siftings
is fully appreciated by the BAN
NER, especially as it is a free will
offering from thorough news
paper men who know exactly
what they are talking about and
than whom none are more COM
petent to judge of the merits of
a newspaper. Tafy from such
a source must of necessity be
ofsuperior quality.

In the Guiteau case on Satur-
day Judge Cox overruled the
motion for a new ttial and SEN
fenced the prisoner to be hang
ed Friday, June 80. 1882. When
asked by the judge if he had
anything to say why the SEN
tence should not be passed up
on him he replied, II am not
guilty of the charge set forth in
the indictment" 1t was Gods
and not mine, and God will take
care oft. and don't let the
American people forget it. x \ y
l am here as Gods man, kill
me if you want to. ! am Gods
man, and l have been from the
start" The prevalent opinion
at Washington is that Guiteau
will certainly be hanged at the
time appointed, unless he sui
cides or is killed. He will ap-
peal, but the finding of the lower
court will be affirmed.

BARRIsTER, writing to the
Galveston News, under date OF
January goth. from Washington,
in this county, says that he has
carefully investigated the facts
of the killing of DR.. Moeller by
ALI. D. Gee, and learns that DIR.
M. had threatened his, Gees,
life and also that Moe1ler had
armed himself with a pistol and
had a shot gun conveniently hid
in a store in the town. The
BANNER is not prepared to con-
tradict the statements of :"Bar-
rister," neither has it any desire
to prejudice the public mind
against Gee, but from all ac-
counts received here the killing
of Moeller was wholly unjustifi-
able. The facts can only be
developed by a judicial investi-
cation, and that can not be had
unless Gee is captured. Public
sentiment at Washington con-
dennis the act.

All, ha! The Brazos Pilot
comes to the front and says that
the people do want politica
newspapers. When the BAN
NER refers to political newspa-
pers it means those that make
a speciality of politics, or in
other words, the strict party or
gans; the papers that fully and
unequivocaIly endorse the ev-
cry act of the party they favor
and as unequivocally condemn
every act Of and every man be-
longing to the opposition. A
conservative newspaper may be
either democratic or republican
and yet be just and honest to-
wards its political apponeats.
1t will discuss mel and meas
ures fairly and impartialIy and
at the same time give a reason
able amount of local and gener-
al news.

The Gainesville Register says
it is in favor of and will support
the nominee of the democratic
party for governor. The de-
mocracy is a party of principles
more than of men. and having
faith in the party the Register
feels justified in pledging itself
in advance. 1t mentions Han
cock, Reagan, Ross and De-
vine as being acceptable. Rob-
erts is honest and faithful, and
if none of the younger leading
men can be had it prefers him
to scrub"

The Politicians.

The Galveston Journal says
the actual practical truth about
professional politicians is that
they devote their lives princi-
pally to cultivating the society
of corner-grocery men, ward
bummers and political strikers,
with a view to corruptly influ-
encing electors and thus buying
their way into official positions
which they are unworthy to
fill.
The Journal does not miss the
mark very far in its description
of the professional politician,
but the professional it describes
is more of a hummer than a
politician; he is the man who
does the preliminary work in
the way of paving the road to a
convention that will nominate
either the professional Office
seeker or some man who will
do the bidding of the outside
party managers. The profess
sional politician proper is usu-
ally a man ofmuch shrewdness;
he is not particularly numerous,
there may be half a dozen or a
dozen of him in a county, and
long before an election is to
come off the professional politi-
clans are busily engaged, in the
work of fixing up a slate on
which are the names ofthe men
whom it is proposed to elect to
office. Delegates to conven-
tions are elected for the occa-
sion and before half the people
know anything about what is
being done a ticket is before
them for their votes, and two
chances to one it is composed
of the very men selected by the
professional politicians months
in advance. Very much the
same plan is followed in regard
to state elections. These poll
clans have managed things in
their own way for so long that
the intelligent portion of the
people are beginning to think
and investigate, and now it is
by no means uncommon to hear
the most intelligent men express
themselves in this manner: 81
have always been a democrat,
and am a democrat yet, but I
am going to vote for the man
who is best suited to fill the po-
sition, 1 don't care what party
he belongs to-. That this SEN
timent is steadily gaining must
be apparent to every one who
observes current events, and it
will continue to grow until the
professional politicians take
back seat is also clear. This
feeling is not confined to the
democratic ranks, but is also
manifesting itself in the republi-
can party; the republicans in
Texas have been under the most
thorough and complete party
discipline, but the rank and file
of the party is beginning to
chafe, and in localities where
they are numerically the strong
est a party nomination does
not by any means assure an
election. The independent
will in all probability
prove more formidable than the
Bourbon leaders anticipate at
this time. Coming events cast
their shadows before. The de-
mocracy OF Texas has it in its
power to maintain its supre-
but in order to do SO a
liberal and conservative policy

IT seems that the mob at
Logausport, Indiana, got ahead
of the law. They hanged a
tramp for outraging a lady, and
then cremated his body, reduc-
ing it to ashes; they gathered
the ashes together and turned
them over to the coroner.
There was nobody to be iden-
tilted and nothing could be
made out of the ashes; there
was a coroner's jury and no
corpse; all the jury could do
was to disband.

IT is stated that the sheriff of
the county in which Mississippi
City, Miss, is situated and in
which the prize fight took place
Tuesday had important business
in another part of the county
requiring his personal attention,
hence no one was on hand to
put a stop to the brutel exhibi-
ton. Sheriffs have been known
to be called away from places
where their services were re-
quired on more occasions than
one. 1t is a way they have.
