-, HOW IT GAME ABOUT
The Galveston News, for wears the
leading newspaper OF Inc city, grown
lat and arrogant from the virtual
monopoly 1t so long enjoyed. did more
10 "eaken confidence in Galveston
anu galveston enterprises than any
other factor IN that nefarious direC-
lion. The manner IN which iS sought
TO promote the Eads Job was disas-
trous IN many ways. Day after day il
blaZoned to tho world that without the
passage OF the Eads bill Galveston
would become failure. In this way
II strove to silence opposition while IL
WAS working as special pleader for
private enterprise for fee. The State
watched and the world watched, con
tent that Galveston should be Judged
Dy us own oracle, The result came:
The Eads project failed and tho yer
dlcC went forth that Galveston was
DEAD. Every business man in Calves
ton felt the effect of those pecultRr tac-
ties. The false position into which
Galveston had been plunged by its
morning paper was intensified soon
atterward by the arCtul query as to
| Whutb or Galveston was still doing
business at the Old stand? Whatever
of loss there had been OF business had
been IS much due TO tho course Of the
News as to any other cause, and vet
the question was asked, aad was soon
followed by an announcement that the
| News had sought another domicile.
The News and the IlttlO clique of mar
| plots revolving around it nave, how
ever, fallen short OF "rule or ruin"
aim, and Galveston still lives, and will
live and prosper long after its foreign
and domestic onomies have been for
| gotten.- Galveston Tribune.
THE SANTA FE KICKS.
Tho discrimination by railroads in
the freight traffic is subject that has
excited general interest both in and
| outside or railroad circles, and several
attempts have been made by tho no ads
to harmonic these determinations
and adjust their conflicting interests
on an equitable basis. With view to
this emo, railroad conference at Gal
weston has just closed three weeks
session in fruitless effort TO arrive at
3 satisfactory solution of the trouble.
But liJtle has been said, in fact but
| little known, Of the deliberations of
the conference, but IL seemg an effort
I was made TO form a Texas traffic asso-
citation, and that tho rates ana speci-
| tications for conducting the business
OF the association were fully matured
| and agreed upon, bnt tho Santa Fe
| kicked against tho time the pooling
| agreement was to continue in force.
The conference had agreed upon five
| years, with the exception Of tho Santa
Fe, which insisted on only one year as
the duration OF the compact, and as
that road would not recede from its
/ dapngnh. thn al Oh
without final action, and the three
weeks session ended in smoke. 1t is
very evident that uniform rates for
hauling cotton was one OF the prime
objects Of the conference, and tho
Santa Fe knew very well that the
| agreement would divert cotton from
Galveston by direct rail shipments to
| the East, and az IL could defeat the
| object OF the conference IN no other
way, il decided TO kick against the
| five years feature OF the pool. The
| traffic association would have been
largely to the advantage OF the bust
ness interests of Texas, but II was tina
Santa FEES business to look out for
Galveston, ana we have il to thank
/ for the failure Of the conference Bel

ONE OR THE OTHER,
| The blighting curse that mas hung
ominOusly over tho Democratic party
in recent years has been dissll6ction
in the party ranks. The blow OF a
friend with the right hand, extended
in scanning fellowship, is harder TO
| boar than the stab OF an enemy. FL
| deity TO friends, fidelity TO party is
| the hOliest, most sublime trait in tho
/ human character. Without it party
friendship, governmont is myth-a
| thing 10 be juggled about for ones
own self GggrandzemGat. a littls
close scrutiny viii show that most of
| this disaileCtiOn within tho party
comes not from Tho hiEh-m.uded mon
/ Of principle, but from those eoli-styled
/ Democrats, woo, with weak political
convictions, crowd into tho ranks 20
accomplish their own selfish ends. In

the sooner they are made o take n

HIS DEMOCRACY,
| Did j. IL. Davis, or methodist jim"
as some choose 20 call him, acquire the
superior and digniiied title OF "Judge"
FROM any combination of Democratic
forces? Was he not elected and re-
elected Judge Of the Franklin county
court as q Greenbacker by Greenbsck
votes? Who says he WAS not? Since
he is an applicant for Democratic pat
ronage, the public should know all
/ about it, BOsque County Blade.
Isn't the BLADE little rough ia The
above? L. Ia true that the Judge sup
ported O'Neal, Greenbaoker, for con
gress against Culberson, Democrat;
but it should DO remembered that AZ
that time tho prospects OF tho Green
| hackers were very rosy, 70 those
whose penohant for Office oVeT-ruled
| their judgment. With the death OF the
Greenback party and the election of
Cleveland, who has many offices TO
dispose of, we don't think his Democ-
racy can DO quostioned.-.G reenyille
