KAUFMAN AND RUSGE's DILEMMA.
II is to be feared that the statement OF
Nessrs. Kaufman 4 Runge, with reference
20 the circular issued by their German
agent or correspondent, will not meet the
measure Of expectation In commercial
circles. either in Galveston or throughout
the state. There is begging of the aues-
tion that will not escape criticism brought
down to tangible point, the Galveston
firn virtually concede they had impaired
their We've unreservedly to the correspon.
dent at Chemnitz, and on these views he
predicated the circular. Here is the tacit
admission that kaufman Il Runge felt
warranted in CHASING interior Gotten men

will not be denied that the firm had
and has perfect right to hold this view II
they see proper to do so. But the justice
and reliability Of such a view is very diff
ferent matter, and there need be no aston.
ishmeHt at the indignant resentment Of
may expect to be paid in coin of their own
minting. The Examiner rather regrets the
phase the matter has assumed. When al
luding to II yesterday we had not come in
possession Of the Galveston firms state
ment, and INDUCED the hope that satisiac-
tory explanations would come very
promptly. Perhaps IL is not too late yet
although il is difficult to see where any
remedying facts can come in after what the
Galveston merchants have voluntarily
stated. As the matter now stands they do
not occupy either an enviable or credit
able position. Waco Examiner.
LEGAL ADVERTISING.
The practice which prevails in Texas OF
advertising sheriff's sales by posting writ
ten notices on the court house door, or In
other unfrequented ana obscure places, has
been abolished in nearly all of the older
states. 1t Is calculated to work injustice to
the debtor, whose property Is sacrificed for
want of sufficient publicity to attract the
attention of bidders. In all other forced
sales the same principle is involved. The
fact that newspapers might be benefited
by the advertising should not influence the
legislature in correcting so palpable an
error. The practice of posting legal notices
originated In new countries before newspa-
pers were established. Is 1t possible That
our Legislatures are composed of men who,
have not kept pace with the progress Of
Texas?-T Corsicana Observer.
INDIGNANT DALLAS.
Dallas is indignant at q circular
letter purporting to have been
written by Kaufman e. Runge,
OF Galveston. The letter asserts that cot
ton buyers in the interior of the state are
unreliable In business matters, and that
they are men who have been compelled to
give up the business at the large cotton
trade ports. The Dallas Cotton Exchange
met yesterday and appointed committee
to inquire OF Me. srs. Kaufman ~ Runge
whether the letter is genuine or forgery.

THE GOVERNOR.
Governor Ireland has gained in popu-
larity since he became the chief executive
OF the state, but he has lost quite number
Of personal supporters. Multiply the num-
Der OF offices he has, or had, at his disposal
by twenty-five, and you will arrive very
nearly at the loss. II is strange how many
men think an administration will prove q
complete failure II they do not secure the
particular office they happen to have their
eyes on.-[San Antonio Express.
