Convention it is to be. Our pref.

party, first, last and all the time.
We don't want to grumble or COM
plain. Now for our reasons for pre-.
fering primary: This township is
very close, only few majority for
the right tparty-which Is democratic,
of course. A great many democrats
will not attend the convention, and
the query now comes in whyl Thev
They will say, "what is the differ.
ence won't get my choice" Then
when the contest between the two
parties, in the fall, comes off, they
will say, "well I could not get my
man, will stay at home-not vote
tor any one;" hence the RAIDS have a
grand walk-over. 1t IS strange but
true that every American prefers to
do his own voting.

A VEXATIoUs SUIT.
How a Sharp Galveston Firm Wanted
to Enforce an Unjust Claim in
the CITY

A very peculiar suit was decided recently in
Justice CrawtOFd's court under the style of
$. Alexander, senior n Co, versus Marcus
strive. The suit was instituted TO recover
the value of 1--WE thousand cigars alleged to
have been sold and delivered tOthc defendant.
The facts Of the case as developed are as fol-
lows: The defendant ordered from the plain.
tin : drummer, five thousand cigars, for one
of his saloons, aud when the cigars were de-
iycrCd the business of the said saloon had
been sold to A KrOpp. The plaintiffs were al.
viscd of the matter and transferred the cigars
to kropp. holding him to be their creditor
Subsequently they collected part value from
paid. The plantiT sued KrOpp In the district
court and obtained judgment against him, but
rs there were no assets the result was practi-
cally nil The plaintiffs then demanded pay
mcnt from the defendant who declined to pay,
dIsCiaiminV liability and then he was sued In
the justice court. After hearing evidence the
Justice at once gave Judgment for the defen.
dant.
Thus far, so good, but Mr. Strive has incur
red considerable expense, about $50 and lost
much valuable time, in defending a claim
which ought never been brought against him.
and Hs the law now stands he has no redress.
There is no question that in this way the law is
defective, and an amendment Is required de
erecting that in all cases the losing side should
pay the costs of both parties, unless the cir
CumstunCCs of the case are such as TO demand
division Of the costs. This would simply be
IA measure of justice. and would prevent the
courts being troubled so much with fictitious
and doubtful cases

Paving For Suppers.

A party of four men, three Of whom were
prominent citizens of this city, and the fourth
Il pseudo colonel of Austin, were the actors in
a disgraceful row at the Elite restaurant and
saloon last night. The colonel took the gentle
men into the restaurant and ordered fine
supper for the party, and discussed IL with
great gustO. After the supper was devourcd
they started out through the saloon, when one
of the proprietors,in charge of the restaur rant,
stopped them and asked who would settle for
the supper. I'm Col. So-and-so," responded
the Austin man, "and Ill be responsible for
it," The proprietor insisted that he wanted his
money, that he didn't know the gentleman.
The colonel then began to grow very abusive
and the whole thing ended by the little propri-
etor pitching in and pitching the big colonel
into the street and playing Yankee Doodle up
on his nose. No arrests took place, owing TO
one of the party, the alderman, being "a
friend" Of the colonel.
