THR Houston Post has the following to say
regarding its political position "a number
OF our exchanges think the Post should not
nail Democratic" to its masthead. Their
position, we think, is illogical. In this day Of
haste, when those who read must do as they
run, it would be a hardship to compel them
to purchase a paper and read it through to
find out its politics. The same objection
could be raised against drug stores for putting
out sign or against ship for carrying the
flag OF its nationality" The LIGHT is Of the
opinion that the most acceptable trade mark
that paper can have nowadays,is truthfulness,

One Of Benton's Sosnes In the senate,

+"
Inferior in intellectual ability to Web
ster, Clay or Calhoun, Thomas Hart
Benton had no superior as man Of iron
will and naughty disposition, during the
twenty-nine years and seven months that
he served continuously in the United
States Senate. Aggressive, bold and do
tiant, hewould occasionally strike out
recklessly at everything and everybody
about him, like the huge wild buifaloes
of the Missouri prairies, treading bis Oh.
ponents beneath his feet in bis angry
rush. His greatest display Of ungove,'w
able rage In the Senate chamber was
when, in an angry debate. he advanced
with threatening gestures toward Sena@
tor Foote, Of Mississippi, who, fearing
that he was to be attacked drew small
pocket-pistol The sight Of this weapon
made Benton uncomfortable, and, en-.
deavoring to shake off the grasp Of
friends who seized him, he shouted:
The cowardly assassin. let him shoot
me II he dares. never carry arms, and
he knows IL Let the assassin fret,
After quiet was somewhat restored. Clay
suggested that both Senators should on.
ter into bonds TO keep the peace, upon
which Benton arose and exclaimed: II
will rot in jail, sir before I will do itl
No, sir! Twill rot in Jail first" and he
proceeded to pour forth torrent Of
bitter infective on Foote before he could
be quoted. Even when he was defeated
in seeking reelection for the sixth
time in the Senate, and was forced To
accept seat in the House OF Represen-
tatives, Benton failed to display
chastened ambition or q softened heart.
