One ofThe "Vets."

Father Charles Hanson, who is now
publishing the "True Democrat at
Cieburne, should look with more care
to the inner pages of his quantity in.
teresting Journal. On the first page of
the paper it is the "rrue Democrat"
dated at Cleburne, Texas. On the in
ner page the head and date lines read:
1.-The Dawson Banner" Dawson, Ma.
varro county. The patent publishers
look after the inside pages, and they
have played this joke on the editor.
Father Hanson is one of the oldest and
certainly the most migratory OF the
Texas journalistic guild. We have
been told that he published a paper on
Galveston island earlier than the Civ.
ilian, which dates back to '3S. Since
thea he has flung his banner to the
breeze, IA newspaper publisher, in
more than twenty Texas towns. He

THE Minnesota state prison was
burned a few nights ago. The copfia-
grafton brought out the fact that SEN
ator Sabin of Minnesota, who Is also
chairman of the Republican national
executive committee, Is largely inter
ested in convict contract labor. He Is
the president OF the Northwestern Car
company, which had its headquarters
in the prison and worked convicts.
And vet this same senator, in behalf
of the Republican party, talks feeling
ly of the regard his party has for
home industry-honest American Ia
Dor. AS high tariff man he would
protect American manufacturers and
laborers from the competition of the
'pauper" labor of free-trade England.
But when it comes to protecting the
honest laborer Of Minnesota from con-
Wet competition, Senator Sabin desn't
show up at all. This is n monumental
illustration of Republican consistency.

stockmen. The cattle kings ana IAN"
monopolists have suffered less, IN pro-
portion to numbers, than smaller anu
more dependent persons. II pig pas
lures, as alleged furnish the grievance
1t is unaccountable that they suffer 80
little, while it is just as inscru'ao'e
that small stockmen and farmers
who are charged with sustaining the

ance upon each other.

A Simple Question Of Justice,

Republicans think it inconsistent
for Democratic congre ssmen and sena-
tors who were in the Confederacy to
vote upon the resolution to give Fitz
John Porter justice. They say it is
purely matter between the Union
lists, and ex.Confederates should keep
out of it. We do not see that the posi-
ton of parties twenty years ago has
anything to do with giving justice IL
man who has suffered the stigma OF
of an unjust sentence for the third OF
lifetime. Republicans may not think
so, but it is fact that representatives
are sent TO congress to vote upon al
matters that come before that body
that concern them.

THE ''slate-makersn who place
Senator Kaxey in the list of aspirants

the present incumbent, figure with a
recai4ssness that is absurd. What in

induce Mr.. Maxey to give up four
years yet due him in the senate, to be
governor in Texas two years? The
theory Is too ridiculous for considera-
tlon.

SOME surprise has been expressed
that Rev. Abram J. Ryan, the poet
priest of the Soutn, was passed over in
the recent selection of n bishop for the
diocese of Mobile, Ala. He lives IN
Mobile, and has ever been an ardent
worker in the ministry Of the Roman
church. 1t is to be doubted, however,
If "Moinan desired or would have ac'
copied the crozier and inter. His
tastes and aspirations do not run In
that direction. AS n bishop he would
be circumscribed In many respects,
and would necessarily find 1t inctm'
bent to foreso many privileges he now
enjoys in the way of writing, travel
ing and lecturing. AS for distinction
he has all he desires

Give Help Where it Will be Most Helpful

Give Help Where it Will be Most Helpful.
The statement is made and it is
much commented on, that there is
deeper water on the bar at lndianola
than mt Galveston. For all we know
to the contrary the statement is liter
ally true. But granting its correctness
the fact should not operate as damp
er upon the aspirations OF Galveston to
national aid in the work of deepening
her channel. Galveston is the entire
pot of the state. She is the virtual
seaboard terminus of the 5000 miles OF
railway in the state. She has capital,
commerce and population. Ifby some
act of providence, the channel at In
dianola were to be deepenei to.mor-
row TO twenty-five feet, it would not
avail Texas anything. Capital to the
extent of millions of dollars would
have to be concentrated there; addi-
tional lines of railroad, costing mill
ions of dollars, would have to be built
all this to supply facilities already
existing at Galveston. The greatest
good to the greatest number is the
principle that should govern appropri-
ations, and this principle will be vim
dictated and observed in
helping Galveston. 1t is n
matter that is too urgent and pressing
to wait and see what can be done at
Pass Cavalo, Arkansas, Velasco or Sa-
bine Pass. Deeper water at Calves
ton il present concern. The other
points along the coast can wait. What
Texas wants is to load or unload the
heaviest ocean-going vessels ut Texas
port, saving the tax that is levied,
upon exports and imports alike, III the
shape of lighterage charges or the long
haul of several hundred miles by rail
to reach deep water at New Orleans
The GAZETTE, AS it has stated in other
articles on this subject, is not overly
sanguine as to the early realization of
Galveston's I'VE may say the state's)
aspirations to congressional aid but
we do not lose sight of the Importance
of the matter, and to the extent of our
ability we shall endeavor 70 as. list in
impressing congress with the fact that
this question is not at all local in its
nature. The action of the Legislature
last week put the stamp Of statewide
approval upon the measure.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
Bellevue, January 3O.-The Bellevue
land league that was organized few
days ago Is being signed rapidly by
the farmers of this part of the county,
there being about 40 members enroll
ed. The name of this league is Belle
vue Land League, and has its charter.
Their petition goes to the legislature
to-day. There is not much hopes for
them this legislature, but they will
surely send men to she legislature after
this that will represent them. AS the
stOckmen only have been represented
heretofore, ii is to be hoped they will
be successful, for such land grabbing
as there is in this part is as bad as
wire-cutters and would prove as dan.
gerous to the settlement of our coun.
Try.
