Mr.. Bannon and the Record.

Mr. EDIToR:-One day last week
wrote a short communication to your
paper calling in question the inconsist-
ency ofthe Recordin it's present opposi.
ton to Mr. Bannon, and inferred that
it was subsequent loss of patronage
withheld by Mr.. Bannon that innu-
enced the Records course now. NV
right to do so | presume is unques-
toned, and if | had fallen into error,
the editor could easily have set him
self right But he makes no such at
tempt. He tells how many times be
opposed Mr. Bannon from 1875 to
1883, as if that would explain away
the singular coincidence referred to in
my first letter, viz: that when through
bis influence Mr.. Bannon give him a
good bowl of pap, the Record was his
most obsequious henchmen, but when
Mr.. Bannon withheld that influence
aud the Record was left Quit in the cold,
the learned editor went out of his way
to get republican authority to endorse
his abuse of Mr. Bannon. That is all
said, and have nothing to take back.
With the vile abuse he heaps up
some imaginary writer of my ar
ticle, | have nothing to do, as black
ardism is not in my line. But
when man descends to that sort Of
defence, it is fair to infer that nv
shots told home-at least it looks so
to A MAN UP A TREE.

A UNITED STATES FAIR.-Mr.
George Wallace Williams has writ
ten q very interesting article for a
New York paper on the advantages
Of 9 United States Fair, and sends
the CAPITAL q marked copy. Our
limits will not permit US to copy Mr..
Williams article, or we should be
glad to give our readers the benefit
of his cogent reasoning. He believes
congress should make or appropria-
ton for the object, and thinks an ex-
preston from those interested in ag-
riculture on the subject Of which be
writes, should be had.
The farming industry Of the coun-
try is the principal source of all pros.
perity. Manufacturing and all other
enterprises combined constitute but a
comparatively small part Of the ma
tons wealth and business.
More than two-thirds Of the voters
of the country are tillers of the soil.
In their intelligence and patriotism is
the security and strength of the Re-
public, as we'll as its greatest wealth.
It is true, as stated By Mr.. Williams,
that comparatively little has been
done BY the Government in the way
Of appropriations from the public
treasury for the promotion Of agricul-
tnre. On the other hand, the people
Of late years have paid much atten-
ton to their public lands, and the
distribution of the same in small plots
for the development Of agriculture By
individual farmers. The days Of their
reckless disposal il vast areas to cor
poraEions and others for speculative
purposes, we trust are past Il may
bo that the time has come for Con-
oress to do something in the way sug
gested, for bringing together in one
place Is many Is possible OF those IN
terested in agriculture. What have
chose most interested 70 say about il !

WE have received a copy Of "Por-

Egnew, real estate agents. which
shows that that comparatively new
city of the west is wonderful city
for business, little less in magnitude
than that of old New York. One of
the secrets of the success of Kansas

THE Record of this morning has
devoted half column of its valuable
space" to heaping iusolence upon the
CAPITAL and one of its correspon-
dents. The CAPITAL is an indepen-
dent paper, and its columns are open
to all well-written communications of
q public nature. If the course of
the Record calls forth criticism, it
must not hope to escape. It's "con-
slant good words and uniform cour-
tesy" towards the CAPITAL, is remem.

not expect the CAPITAL to protect it
against the censure of bis political OPP
ponents on that account.

The j. G. Stuttz Dramatic Company
played here Friday and Saturday nights of
last week to full houses. Friday night the
tradgeio-comedy kathleen Mavourneen"
was on the boards and we believe was cred
itably rendered. After the conclusion of
the play very pleasant little hop was had
by votarles of the "light-"etc. Music by

Saturday night the comedy "Joshun
Whitcomb" WAS played to an audience in,
which the ''bhoys" very appropriately
prodominated. The play contains much
much mirth- provoking humor and many
laughable adSurdities producing roars Of
laughter at every turn, but the humor was
often exceedingly bread, more in keeping
with tho sawdust ring than the footlights,
and by q cultivated audience would be rele-
gated to the realm of slow comedy" We

The Tablet welcomes its now com
petitor into the field of journalism ut
Navasota, and says there is class OF
business there that has never been

new venture can succeed in drawing
it it out, will add to tho general pros
perity of the place. Pretty much the
same state of affairs exists in Hunts
vile, and we are rather surprised
itinerant adventurer does not try his
hand. The patronage hero that is
not given the tom, if given to some
onterprising chap with tho get up and
get, about him, would enable him to
get out paper that would compare
favorably with any country paper in
Texas, and be credit to Huntsville
There is some force in the above,
which we clip from the Huntsville
Item, and it is not altogether inappli-
cable to the situation in this place.
There is certain element here which,
for reasons best known to themselves,
never did favor the FREE Press. They
may do better by tho other papers OF
tho county, but if they do, it will DO
no loss to us, for the reason just sta
ted. Nor have we any objection
we are rather pleased to see them
road something. But unfortunately
for their newspaper favorites, there
are not enough of them to do much
towards sustaining paper.
