A DISPATCH to the HERALD stated a
rumor was current in Fort Worth that
company was talked of there to estab-
lisa another daily journal in Dallas. A
new newspaper enterprise now in Dali
las would be as great a novelty as il
would be a bold enterprise. The HER
AID, with the kindiiest courtesy, would
try to give II the full benefit of long,
though not an intsxicatingly golden ex-
pcriencei In publishing first-class paper,
and If the new candidate for favors
should prove an initiative cuss many an
additional thousand Of money would he
dropped in this community most ac-
ceptably to business circles and in the
nick Of time in the present depression
Of trade. If nothing else should come
Of 1t, the new company would soon be
covered with glory and experience at
least. But we won't promise anything
more substantial until after il Is sold out
and has changed hands three or four
times.

AWAsuINaToN correspondent of the
philadelphia Times, writing "a to how
the BLAINE scandals received In WASH
ington, says: at is bluff game, but Il
may hurt u.s." was tho conclusion OF q
little knot of Democrats sitting under
the awning at Wizards Hotel to-day
and discussing the BLAINE libel suit
against the indianapolis Sentinel.
"BLAINE In shrewd and knows how 10
make apoint," said the chief spokes-
man. "Why didn't he bring an action
against the Chicago Times, which pub
hshed the story some time agoi Simply
because he docs not think he needs
votes in Illinois. In Indiana he does
not need them, and by this suit TO pun
ish a defamer of the honor Of his wife he
will excite the indignation OF every
mother in the State. The leading Dem
ocratlc organ of Indiana has done bad
thing for the party. Republicans, as a
matter OF course, all agreo that this
prompt belligerent action of BLAINE
viii have widespread effect In his IA
vor lis the general opinion that the
suit must be tried promptly, MS delay
until alter TIE election would cause a re-
action and suggest that II is in reality a
game OF bluif.

THE New York Sun is very unfor-
tunate in its advocacy of candidates for
President. For weeks and months it
Kept the name OF Mr.. HOLMAN in its
columns as the only proper man to be
nominated by the Democracy. 1t did
not succeed in winning over single
man in the whole country to its views OF
that gentleman's eminent fitness for the
position. Its support of BUTLER will
prove equally as unfortunate, for Mr..
BUTLER will not carry single State in

THE Texas Investment company ad-
vertised a paid-up capital of 100000; it
was said to be conducting very profit
able business when it became the owner
of the Gazette and Live Stock Journal
The latter paper was reported to be pay
ing handsomely. The company is now
reported to be in debt $l5O,OOO. If all
these current reports be true, the effort
to put the Gazette on paying basis as
first-class paper has cost not less than
100000 to $25O,OOO. And yet there are
great many persons who want to engage
in the newspaper business, thinking
every paper is a bonanza or little tub
mill for the proprietors.

THE Memphis Appeal, in speaking OF

twenty years to the knowledge Of BLAINE

years ago, and the facts sooner or later
will be elected by the libel suit he has
instituted. They may not he correct in
every particular and as damaging as re,
