time serve God Almighty and the devil.
That is not precisely the language, william,
but the meaning may be the same st,

God and Mammon." Mammon, according
to the unabridged, is the god OF riches.-Gal.
weston News.
THE GAZETTE is profoundly grateful
to the Times and to the News for so
constantly advertising the size of its
roll to the world. 1t takes money to
build up newspaper and people like
man who has lots of money. Back
of THE GAZETTE are 100000 cattle
and $2,500,O0 in very hard cash, and
no man need be afraid to pay his years
subscription in advance. But what
shall we say to the people, 1.-THE dear
people," to allay the suspicious which,
for some xplained reason, the Gal
weston News has sought, on more than
one occasion, to arouse? Now, the
Dallas Times doesn't want "the dear
people" to put faith in THE GAZETTE
because this paper finds it a numerical
impossibility to provide suitable holes
for all the political pegs in Dallas; but
what is the motive of the Galveston
News? We may not say, but we do
know that the News once had large
circulation in the territory where THE
GAZETTE is now so eagerly read.
Yes-THE GAZETTE is rich, very
wealthy, bloated capitalist. 1t has
Goodies" of money. We never should
have mentioned it, because the rich
should not boast of their wealth, but
we cannot deny the soft impeachment.
This mine was contributed by less
than dozen of the enterprising BUSH
ness men of Fort Worth, who, looking
far beyond the needs of this city, saw
that the whole state needed really
first-class newspaper, and they put up
the money to fill the long needed
want. They have lost $50, 900 in sup
plying the people of Texas with the
most popular paper in the state; but
> that's nothing, mere bagatelle. Any
twelve men in the Fort can afford any
day to whack up $4,000 for the good
of the town and state; that's what
makes the difference between thi:
city and Dallas; or, between this city
and Galveston. Fort Worth doesn't
, waste its energies in running for of
n flee or petitioning congress for deel
i, water; but it goes down into its poke
to sustain an enterprise that furnishes
:, and reflects credit on the state and ex
!, cites the jealousy of esteemed ant
~ more slow-going contemporaries. TIL
10 first thing new bank does when i
= opens up in Fort Worth is to put 800,

Ia soon as free-grass baron sells rancl
y at 10000 per cent. profit he sends TIL
a GAZETTE check for half n millio
greenback dollars; when new "cattl
- king" is crowned he RENTS to TIL

p. S.-Concerning the views an
opinions of THE GAZETTE on state an
national questions, they are printed |
,er- bold, clear type, and may be easil
ere read. As the people are not fools, an
or have minds of their own, they ca
ks. judge whether they approve or di

mi. IL they cannot approve to the exter
in of paying subscriptions Invariably 1
ces advance), 1t is very consoling to

.or- we are backed by national banks an
in shall not starve.
of N. B.-Our travelling solicitors an
ter local agents need not flag in the
otc efforts because of our modest confessio
nd of great wealth, as our subscriptio
i'm and advertising lists will admit a fe
net. more names, and, as In the past. Il
the cash must accompany all orders.
