FORT woRTH's PLACE.
~ must be understood right here
4 and now, that Fort Worth is not a
small plea town. The newspaper that |
essays to represent the life, aud push,
( and energy, and business thrift OF
Fort Worth, must not imagine that it
can take rear position in the general
procession. Fort Worth's place and
that Of her representatives, is Mt the

FORT WORTH CITY NATIONAL BANK,
The action OF Colonel j. II. Britton
and his associates has been most man
J ly and commendable throughout the
embarrassing and unfortunate clrcum-
atances whicn eliminated in the tenn
porary suspension OF the City National
bank. Whatever feeling OF unjust sus-
p<cion may, at first thought, have at
tached To him has been dispelled, and
he stands before this community sans
peur sans repr0che, without stain
upon his character or roputstion.-

q PROHIBITION BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

THROWING UP THE sPoNaR,
General Ross falls into line Ia oppo
tition TO prohibition. so many OF the
leaders of the Democratic party in
Texas are arrayed against prohibition
that they remind us of tho story OF the
miner who was playing poker against
a lot OF gamblers. The miner had
drawn one card, which he left face
down on the table. The confederate
OF his antagonist was anxious to see
this card, az the betting was already
very high and the miner'1 hand al
most invinoible, AT length he raised
the card, and the fellow who wna
watching him commenced to hum
"And another one fell In too, bOys.n
Tho gamblers threw up the sponge,
and so might the prohibitionists.-

rwO PARTIES.
"a IL the question continues TO DO agi-
tetod, tho time Is near at hand whom Il

Side will DO = Democratic party and
on the other q Prohibition party. The
Banner does not desire 20 see the issue
presented IN that shape. it would b.
potter TO Keep IL out or politics, at least
until the tarih question IS settled.
The tarln problem has already been
pushed ASIDE aud kept in the bacl,

abolitionism, reconstruu,ion and the
financial problems Of the country. IL

CBlTICIsIHC MILLS.
Coke ana Mills are getting some
vtry severe aud juht criticisms Tor
thor interference in tho MCLonnan
county local option election. Mills
Claims that local option Is anti-Demo-
cratic. But ihsps nothing astonishing,
coming nom Mills. We heard him IA
nstump speech la Grimes county In
1878 declare that the Groenback plat
form WAS In iull accordance with his
own Vows on money, except that no
would gO a step further than
the Greenback platform, IN that he
was IN favor of a tiet money; and no
then read rom French authorities 10
show that othOr governments had, and
this Que could make Cat money. Mr..
Mile speech opened the eyes OF the
Democrats ana encouraged the Green
hackers In their separate organization
10 that extent that thoy refused TO CO
operate With the Democrats In a white
mans campaign against tho negro
party, which resulted In the success OF
tho negroes. MIR. Mills possesses Rbll-
ity, ana manages somehow 70 main-
tain his popularity. but 10 il quoer,-
