THE Galveston News has at last
caught up with the Blaine movementin

quite stale.
MAYOR MEANS of Cincinnati is I'M
like our mayor in one particular, he
believes in breaking up gambling hells
and bad houses generally, while "his
honah" lets them run the city. Mayor
Means says: "One of the first duties
of a community is to protect its youth.
Protect the boys first, and they will
protect the girls" "His honah' smiles

attack upon Mr.. Conkling, unworthy
of Scribner's Magazine. If first causes
are to be held responsible for Gui-
teau's crime and Garfeld's death, we
may 20 back to the ambitious rivalry
of Mr.. Blaine at Chicago, when the
old soldier, Grant, was beaten and Gar

nominated, Garfield might have been a

A SPECIAL correspondent to the Gal
weston News says of San Antonio:
San Antonio, with its old relics of
Mexican rule, religious work, queer
Skreets, abundance Of water, and high,
. pure altitude, is growing as winter re-
sort Mr invalidsi The hotels are
crowded t6such an extent as to awaken
the enterprising citizens to growing
needs in this regard. Inquiry regard
ing the project for large, new hotel
failed to show any settled plans. The
demand exists, however, and people
will continue to crowd into the city so
long as it gives such relief to sufferers
from affections of the lungs and throat.
San Antonio has the climate, water and
excellent medical ability. The urgent
need is a mammoth hotel located on
one of the spots whence view can be
obtained of the beautiful country.
THE news comes from Washington
that with the new year the sole remain
ing southern man in the cabinet
Hunt-wiH step down and out to be
replaced by northern man, W. E.
Chandler. There is no room in the
cabinet for southern man-not even
our Texas stalwart, E. J. Davis. This
is not complimentary to the republican
brethren in the south. 1t is not ex-
pected that the president should take
a democrat into his cabinet, but it is
hard, very hard on the republicans that
not one of them in the south is esteem
ed fit or worthy, by the president, to
take care of portfolio. But it is all
in the republican family, and they can
muse over it.-[Waco. Examiner.
Well, we do muse over it; and if
will continue to muse over it.
