His Loss was Her Gain.

"Well ma,lam," said q fashionable
physician to wealthy lady patient, "if
YOU don't like my prescriptions, perhaps
you had better try Parker's Tonic. or
some other qusck stuff" "You don't
mean it Doctor" she answered, shut
your advice may be good for all that.
Sometimes what you call 'quack stuff' is
the best and most scientific medicine,
after all" She got bottle Of Parker's

Sam Honston's Inaugural.

The Texas Congress once took excep-
tions to President Sam Houston's habit
Of giving them his messages orally, and
insisted that be should write them out !
that tue habit OF delivering them orally
was highly dictatorial, and lacking 10
respect for Congress. Houston agreed
to conform to their wishes, and, as the
next day was the one set apart for the
delivery Of bis inaugural, be made his
appearance in the halls OF Congress With
q roll OF paper in bis hand tied with red
tape and marked ia large letters "lnau-
eursl." He addressed them with the
roll in his hand, waving It gracefully
that all might see it, and. on concluding,
handed It with low bow to the clerk,
and strobe out OF the chamber. % be-
ing opened it was found 10 be q roll OF

In his illusions to Galveston as the
only and peculiar place where deep wa
ter can be had, and to its general desir-
ability Of location, Mr.. DAUauHRTY re-
minds one of the reference In PRooToR
KNeTT's speech to the ideal Duluth.
III" said the Kentucky orator, "gen-
demen will examine it, they will find
Duluth net only in the center of the
map, bat represented in a series of con-
centric circles 100 miles apart, and some
OF them as much as 5000 miles in diam
eter, embracing alike in their tremen-
dous sweep the fragrant savsnnas of the
suRiit south and the eternal solitudes
OF snow that mantle the ice-bound
north. How these circles were pro-
duced is perhaps one OF those primoidial
mysteries that the most skillful pateolo-
gist will never DO able to explain. But
the fact is sir, Duluth is pre.eminently
central place, etc." Duluth wanted
an appropriation Of a few millions and
SO does Galveston. The only difference
Is that Duluth wanted some of the
money to be awarded her state, whilst
Galveston and EADs want it all.

Did Galveston ever lift her hand to-
wards Dallas without dagger? Has
she not invariably in political conven-
tons, in the Legislature and through her
News" stabbed at her most vital in
terests? What was her position as be-
tween Fort Worth and Dallas on the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe business?
And yet we are called upon to relinquish
our hopes of getting deep water at con-
vcnient point because Galveston wants
to gobble up the sum total of possible
appropriations. If the people or even
the Merchants exchange are guilty Of
suoh truculency, they deserve to wear

any scheme that would drive all these
products away from this city and insure
them market in other localities. No
man can show whero deep water at Gal
