THE Brenham Banner ssnsibly observes;
"Many young men of the present day flip
PANTY use the word yankee as one Of con-
Tempt they apparently overlook the fact that
many Of the pioneers Of Texas, and some Of
the most honored men in Texas history were
natives Of the New England States, but who
became thoroughly identified with their
adopted States. Texas is to-day as cosmopol-
itan State as there is the Union. Her popu-
lation is composed of all natonAlides and
every State in the Union is represented. Good
and bad men are to be found in every State
and the place Of a mans nativity has nothing
to do with his character"

GOVERNOR IRELAND would, we believe, be
the last man in official position in the United
States TO call on the Government interference
in State affairs, particularly when the State is
abundantly able to settle them without assist
ance from such source. Davis did It, and
there was not Democrat in the State who did
not curse him for the act. 1t is highly inn
probable, even il Ireland were not a Democrat,
that he would court the curses which were
visited on Davis" The above is taken from
the Dallas Times. Any one, from reading the
above extract, could tell it was from Bour-
bon paper from its supreme Stiffness and
spiteiulness, the unfailing ear marks of that
style ofpaper. Governor Davis did more to
put down the spirit of lawlessness in Texas
than all the Bourbon Governors combined, for
he had the grit to do his duty fearlessy under
trying circumstances. Governor Davis like
wise organized the State rangers for a tempo
rary purpose, and although Bourbons de-
nounced him with copious billingsgate for it,
his Democratic successors, Coke, Roberts and
Ireland, regard them as essential tohe preseI-
walton Of order and have made them perma-
nent. When party venom dies out, men will
admit that Texas owes a debt of gratitude to
Governor Davis for taking lawlessness by the
throat and choking it into good behavior.
Fence cutting was not the order of the day
while E. J. Davis was Governor.

Of January, when the railroad system will be
completed between the United States and the
City OF Mexico, says: "With the exception Of
the connecting Of the Union Pacific and Cen
trail Pacific railroads, some IA or 70 years ago,
this junction will be the most important event
that ever transpired on the Amer
lean continent, since the first permanent
Judgment was effected by European adven-
turers, and the savage owners of the soil
brought under subsection to a superior civili-
cation. Just think Of II, New York and
every other city and hamlet in the United
States Of North America put in direct railroad
communication with the ancient city Of the
Montezumas- capital OF the Republic Of
Mexico; the most magnificent inland town in

to our sister Republic across the Rio Grande,

enee to editing paper-every man from the
nabob TO the tramp, from the genius TO the
idiot, from the sparkling wit whose mouth
drops pearls, to the dullard without an idea,
the mechanic and the farmer, the merchant
and his clerk, who never wrote 10 lines in all
their lives, are natural born idiots and able to
edit the most dashing daily in the world.
They always volunteer their advice 10 the
editor. To advise editors is part of their
mission, and advice oozes from them like
turpendne from a tapped pine, or vanity
from woman with pretty face. The editor
has hard time to get rid Of this brigade of
volunteer advisers. The LIGHT is run on the
plan Of train on the railroad-on its own
time table, and without any reference to the
adviccs of the advisory volunteer brigade. 1t
is the only way to run newspaper, or auy

soon showed himself to be useful

The quarrel soon brought all the

The mode OF combat WAS speedily ar

curely locked about their necks. A

For some days nothing Was known

srr Yesterday, however, Davis, very weak
and emac lated, returned TO camp,
dragging after him the lieless body

The story Mr.. Davis tells is rs
follows: "The fight began as soon
as We reached the bottom of the Can
yon. Being locken together, each
was always within reach OF the other 5
knife. after such deiiOeration as the
few moments during our descent per
mitted, | decided that unless the first
blow was fatal, the chances we're de-

to strike the first blow. He plugged
his kuiie into myisid,. As soon Ms

dropped the kuiIe. While he WAS
