THE following, from the San Marco,
Tex, CreSset gives us fresh and
breezy conception of editorial cour-
tisies in the Lone Star State. Editor

over into Mexico and disturbing the
pious meditations of those sun-kissed

TRE EXT CONGRESS.

There seems to be a good deal of indiffer- ence concerning the coming contest for the control of Congress. Neither party is appar- ently making any great effort in this direc- tion It has not been unusual at the elee- a new administration for the party in oppo- sition to make gains. Perhaps the Republi- cans will gain this year.
 As the Brooklyn Union points out, the Republicans could secure a majority of the next house with proper effort. The Demo- cratic majority in the present House is forty three. It would, therefore, require the cleo ton of Republican congressman in twenty three more districts than the Republicans now hold to secure control of the next House. But there are twenty-four districts each of which the Democrats now hold by 8 plurality, in 1884, under the spur of 8 Presi- dential contest, of less than 1000 votes, and eighteen of them were carried by smaller plurality than 500. A change of less than 300 votes in each of these districts would add eighteen members to the Republican side of the House. On the other hand there are twenty districts which the Republicans carried in 1884 by pluralities of less than 1000 votes each. There are, therefore, for ty-four districts wherein the plurality of the successful party was less than 1000.
 Good nominations and hard work are what are needed to make the desired change. The Republicans have made excellent nomi- nations in Connecticut and the Republicans of the State should heartily and effectively supnOrt them
