THE editor Of the Two Laredos a few days
ago wrote an article on "Border Journalism"
which was very much like Satan rebuking sin,
so far as relates to the border. We forgive
him the "gal" displayed because Of the fol-
lowing sensible paragraph; "Be independent,
and either in assaiing or defending, whether
it be your 'chevalier Of the chaparap with
his spurs, revolver and sombrero, or your
banker with his broadcloth and title, your
laborer who bronzes in the sweltering sun, or
your merchant who cools himself in a well
filled store room, deal in squal and exact JUS
tice to all. Be on the aggressive and destroy
the cause before the effect can reach you Of
any damaging matter. Antagonize yourselves
against every move that could possibly result
disadvantageously to your community. Stoop
to no individual, ring or clique, and our word
for it you need no outside pap to keep things
in healthy running order"

Mr.. JOHN ROACH, the great American
ship builder, in resuming his testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee on Education and
Labor in New York, last week, vigorously
denied the story that he had testified that
ships could be built as cheaply in this county
as in England. lie said that the materials
for ship building are as cheap here as in Eng
land, but that the cost Of labor is greater. lie
also stated that he had an unwavering conf
dence in protection that without protection
no industries except farming and mining
could be carried on. In the case Of three
mmodites-cotton, wooden goods and iron
the average value Of the yearly importation
for the last 10 years was ST,I7S 900, 900,
which fact Mr.. Roach considered as a very
dangerous sign, especially as it existed under
the present tariff laws.

UNDER the head Of "San Antonio's Loss
and Waco's Opportunity" the Examiner has
an article advocating a railroad project TO
Corpus Christi and calls upon the business
men Of Waco to seize the opportunity, organ
ize a company and invite capitalists to inyes-
tigate the advantages Of the line. II Waco
really wants a railroad boom San Antonio has
one, but little used, that no doubt would suit
their purpose. or course our boom isn't
quite as good as new, but it has had so little
wear and tear in its brief existence that it is
really bargain at most any price. But our
advice to Waco is that when they get their
capitalists on the string to be sure and muzzle
those other fellows who will come forward
with better or bigger scheme, in some other
direction, and then they won't have no second
hand boomlet on the market. II is a fact
that when a paper railroad falls fiat it is as
hard TO lit as an iron one.

The State fair will open at Austin on
October 10 and end October 81. It is State fair
by courtesy only, but as local fair for Austin it
no doubt will be creditable exposition. The
Statesman says Of 1t: 'Tf the people of Texas
will give this enterprise approval, they may
even hope through it 10 see the semi-centennial
year Of Texas independence celebrated in a
manner to satisfy the highest pride Of Texans"
Whenever they get set Of managers for that
enterprise who are broad-guaged enough to
appreciate the i'm portant position they fill, it
may become matter pride to the State at
large as State fair, but not til then.

INA RECENT issue of the Age of Steel
appeared an article, under the head Of "The
Independent Voter" of which the following
is an extract; "If the independent voter had
personal advantage in view, as the political
manager has, his first impulse would be to or
ganize. But he is a dissenter only, and re-
fuses to act with those who fail to represent
him. And he is generally possessed of enough
intelligence not to be deceived by the specious
appeals Of partisan warfare. But his courage
and patience are often put to the hardest test;
for it is no common trial, even for the best and
wisest, to stand aloof from active workers.
But let it be understood that this is his strong
hold. His dissent should be open and manly,
and be made to appear in the interest OF de-
cency and right. lie should let it be known
that he will not cooperate with those who
use dishonest means nor with men of a
low tone of political morality. We may con-
hdently assert that men who steadily maintain
such position are not influential. The poll
teal manager may sneer at them for a time
and cling to his own mercenary devices, but
the desired reform does not long delay its
coming. The independent voter is the only
safety OF our political system"

MEssRs. MEAD & Son, the proprietors of
the Corpus Christi Critic, have but recently
located in that CITY, having come from Kansas
City, Mo. A few days ago the Critic con-
tanned an item complimenting the Texas
Mexican railway management for the great
energy it had displayed in repairing the seri-
Gus damage done the track, bridges, ETC., by
the late rains, when some one, who evidently
hadn't brains enough to last him over night,
wrote communication to a contemporary,
telling the Critic folks that they should not be
SO fresh on so short an acquaintance, as
newcomers were not yet eligible to such
privileges. The great State Of Texas is made
up Of new corners, and they built the railroads
and the towns and cities that represent the
States progress and advancement, and no
one but a most terrific fool would ever mention
newcomer except as a representative of the
great improvement and new order Of things.
The Critic, however, "did the fellow up"
in very neat manner and promised to drop
everything and at once get acquainted with its
patrons and the people generally.

THE era Of cheap newspapers seems to have
arrived. The New York Times, Herald and

shelf should be without them"

PHILIP GILBERT HAMILTON in his admira-
BILE papers on intellectual Life" thus talks
to the man who stopped his paper:"
Newspapers are to the civilized world what
the daily house talk is to the members of the
household; they keep our daily interest in
each other; they save us from the evils OF
isolation. To live as a member of the great
white race Of men-the race that has filed
Europe and America, and colonized or con-
quered whatever other territory it has been
pleased to occupy-to share from day to day
its cares, its thoughts and aspirations, it is
necessary that every man should read his
paper. Why are the French peasants so be-
wildered at sea 1t is because they never
read newspaper. And why are the inhabi-
tants OF the United States, though scattered
over territory u times the area Of France,
SO much more capable Of concerted action; so
much more alive and modern; so much more
interested in new discoveries of all kinds and
capable Of selecting and using the best of
them 7 Its because the newspaper pene-
Tates everywhere; and even the lonely
dweller on the prairie or in the forest is not
intellectually isolated from the great currents
ofpublic life, which flow through the tele-
graph and press"
The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1883-09-28

SAYS the Albuquerque Journal: "While
every kind of advertising helps, more or less,
it is new regarded by all intelligent business
men as a settled fact that the local newspaper
is the best of all advertising mediums, and
gives the merchant and the town a better re-
turn than any other for the money invested"

THE Brennan Banner says: "The Texas
and Pacific is preparing car load of Texas
products to be forwarded to Boston, to be
placed on exhibition at the Boston fair. The
exhibition will be better than ever before,
although it will be too late for any of the fruit
and vegetable crop, and will be confined to
staple productions"

GoATs.-One peculiar trait of the com
mon goat has created very strong preiu-
dice against the whole goat family, and tha.
is, their habit of getting over fences They
are adopts at Jumping or climbing. II has
been left for a Georgia Ex:Congress,sdn
Farmer Gambler, to devise remedy for this
evil propensity. He has tried trim ming
their toes, and other methods without sue
cess. He has discovered that no two goats
are of the same mind at tho sane time
Hence, by coupling two together with
chain, when one wants to 90, the other
doesn't. Already a grateful people are
talking of elocting him President-of the
State Agricultural Society.

Sleep obtained two hours before niduight,
when the negative forces are in operation,
is the rest which most recupcrates the sys

glow to the cheek. The difference in the
appearance of a'person who habitualIy re-
tires at ten o'clock, and that of one who
-:-- -r all t~ot-o, Is quite remarkaole.---
The tone Of the system, so evident in the
complexion, the clearness and sparkle of
the eyes, and the softness of the lines of the
features is, in person Of health, kept at
concert PITCH by taking sleep two hours
before twelve o'clock, and then obtain
ing the beautiful sleep of night. There
is heaviness of the eyes, a sallowness of
the skin, and an absence of that glow 10
the face which renders it fresh in expression
and round in appearance, which readily
distinguish the person who keeps late

came in from Atlanta long sandy bearded
man h'pped down the steps OF the second
class car and planting his feet firmly on the
ground he took up position like base

carpet satchel under the other. The rcso.

made her exclaim as her glasses dropped
from the bridge of her nose "Mercy on
me, John-look out for the children =! and
he looked. They kept coming out of the
car as fast as he could land them aud when
at last three little faxcn haired girls as
much alike MS three peas came out, the
fond parent breathed sigh of relief as he
helped them down and turned to the old
woman with the remark "Count 'em,
Molly, and see if they are all here, and let's
march" The old lady carefully scanned
the crowd and feeling satisfied that none
were missing, signiied her willingness to
move on. There were just thirteen chill.
