~, REVIVING A MONOPOLY.
,1he galveston News has for the past
eight years at least been q consistent
ana persistent advocate of the pure
auu simple Democratic faith, az rep.
resented by the most prominent lesd-
ing members of the party. II is the
only Texas newspaper that has repu-
tatlon abroad and we shOu d sustain
aud uphold it and not try to tear IL
down. Meridian Blade.
There's richness Tor you. Demo-
cratic Mt least for the past eigh; years |!
But the richest richness is the idea
that because the News once enioyed
monopoly, it should be upheld in that
monopoly, despite the growth and new
demands of Texas, Is it to the inter-
est OF this grand commonwealth, with
It's diverse interests, that only one pa
per in 1t should have reputation
abroad? But that assertion reminds us
OF the time when the News could
boast that IL had larger daily crcula-
llon than all the other dailies OF the
State combined. That boast was
Haunted at the head of the News edi-
torial columns until it became "a
haunting lie." And the assertion that
the News is 'the only paper in Texas
with a reputation abroad" Is equally
false. We would detracC nothing
from the merit Of The News, but that
merit should not be made dependents
upon injustice to other Texas news
papers, nor an effort made through
misstatement to revive q monopoly
that ID gone forever Fort Worth Ga

HELP!
Elsewhere our readers will see that
the soloon-keepers have dropped the
Visitor The almost unanimity with
which this was done indicates COM
bined effort and intention to crush
this paper. Further indications
have thickened chat the auti.pro-
hibition elements ara combin-
ing for our destruction. And
why? Because we advocated cause
OF humanity. We seek tOsave our fell
low-men from the ruin of strong drink.
This is not the time to discusa the mer-
its OF the question but the fscts tina
arc tIanspiring. Hence 70 the point,
IL 10 this: II the friends OF temperance,
and OF morality, are willing for the
Visitor to die all they have to do is to
leave it at the mercy of the rum power
and its death is certain.
If they arc DESTROYS to SEQ it
flourish and continue to advocate
right they must rally to its support.
Its record is before them. Purity of
thought and sentiment has marked its
contents. The advocacy Of good to all
men, women and children, has been
its motto. 1t has published no line
that dying its editor would wish to
blot. 1t has claimed nothing that q
high standard Of rectitude can reject.
And yet it IL now tho object of COM
bined and determined opposition bent
on its destruction. Yet it cannot yield

a. X. C0ney, the Mexican Consul in
San Francisco, in an interview on the
subject of selling Mexican territory to
the United States, stated that the pub
lished reports on the matter were
without significance, as tho Mexican
administration will not dare, in oppo-
siiion to tho prevailing public senti-
ment, project the sale Of Ony portion
Of tho Mexican territory. Ho further
Rtate that there exists prohibition

The prohibition movement seems to
be on the increase. AS a moral reform
the agitation against the use OF alcohol
Is in every way correct. IL the friends
Of temperance wish TO accomplish any
good let them keep the issue within
proper bounds. " is not matter fol
