WINS THE MEDAL.
1t has for long while been moo "a
point rs to whether the St. Louis Globe
Democrat or the Chicago Inter Ocean, when
81 king of the south, was capable OF the
most vigorous mendacity. But the point
may now be regarded IA settled. The Inter

NEW LAND LEAGUE.
An organization koown as the Land Lea
que, has been formed in Brown county.
The object of this league is to secure such
legislation as will prevent land monopoly
in Texas. Just how this is to be brought
about their constitution does not say, and
We presume that no one but members OF
the league can elighten the people Com-

WAITING FOR RISE.
There was a bale of cotton stored in
Bryan, by Mr., Burlington, nine years ago,
waiting for ric3 OF fifteen cents per pound.
1t has not yet been sold and the storage
'ootJ up the sum of $50. There is just
about as much business sense in the above

o. WITH THE DANCE.
The British house OF commons is making
great efforts for the FOOLS belt in the pro-
tracted Bradlaugh feud. Mr.. Bradlaugh
has no claims TO distinction. Without
special merit of any kind, his mediocrity
is further deprecated by his pretense of
being an atheist. Yet the foolish
commons have made him a great man.
He has again been elected 20 his
seat and, with the strut of some Eastern
Bishaw. announces that he "has refused
the offer OF some thousands OF his supper
'ers TO come in procession To the Palace
Yard and demand admittance." There is
no way in which that body can more efiec.
tualy sicken the English people with par
liaments, and put spokes in the republican
wheel, than by thus making itself the sport
