WACO, TEN, Jan. 81, 1885,
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
The vain efforts of the Galveston News
to win from her city wholesale houses
some Of the patronage given to outside
papers is as ridiculous as it is transpar-
ent. After doing ill in her power to be-
little her town, and decry its trade, now
that the ultimate failure OF that sheet is
assured, she makes frantic effort to re-
cover lost ground when too late. Who're
is there drummer in this state who
pushed the sale of his wares with half the
assiduity that the Galveston usurper
grabbed for that Dallas bonus? She hung
like a hungry buzzard about carton to
the disgruntled faction who conspired to
stab the old Herald that made city out
OF Dengueville, and stood by Dallas when
in ITS weakly infancy. The commercial
men can well be pleased at the puerlle at
tacks of the moribund sheet "by sad sea
wayeu--for never did 1t champion man
or a party, that the downfall of that man
or party was not sure to follow. Never
did she attack or abuse either,
that success was not assured. The
writing is on the wall. "rhe field OF
Journalism" that was to be held for "all
time" has diminished to a corner lot, and
before long it will be in order for COM
mittee OF drummers to attend the funeral
of the garrulous old lady, which is rapidly
sinking into the grave she dug for her
self, and when the sheriff disposes OF the
available assets to secure some Moore

A Tribute to Maj. B.ethen From a
Fellow oct.

Every now and then the ST. Paul GLOBE re-
Alden j. Blethen, the manager of the Mime
apolis Tribune, but these references are
always in such playful vein that we are
forced to conclude that perhaps the GLOBE
does not really believe that Maj Bethen can
write poetry. We are not prepared 10 argue
either that the major has written poetry or
that the major can write it. but we are pre-
pared to maintain that the major ought to
write poetry, and this implies, We think, q
poetical ability on his part. Maj. Blethen is
no raw, uncultured Westerner; he was born
amid the refining influences of Maine civiliza-
ton. and his youthful mind was stored with
useful aud ornamental knowle 1ge Arriving
at maturity, he displayed so great
erudition and such unusual didactc
qualities that he was called to the
high and dignfied vocation OF pedagog :,
which vocation he pursued for number of
years with distinction, as many young men
now in the West, bat formerly his pupils, will
cheerfully testify. We have heard / u nDer
oil these young men say that tneI most
vivid remembrances of .aaj. Blethen's career
a al instructor was his apparent fondness
for the classical poets, as manifested in his
translatlOnS and versitcatiOns of the same.
According 10 the testimony of these enthusi-
aStic witnesses it was the major greatest de-
light TO put into vigorous Spondaic English
the elegant periods of the Eneid and TO
adapt into the graceful, insinuaIing vernacu-
lar of Maine the stately lines of tue Homeric
epIcs; the Ho"atian Odes came in, too, for
share of the majors versatile attention, and
for the edifcatiou of his younger pupils this
gifted scholar once put into Qaartrains
and set TO music the whole of An
drew's Latin Lessons. Our first acquaint-
ance with Maj. Bethen was when he was
conducting the business department of the
Kansas City Journal, and we became ut once
an ardent admrer of the scholarly style in
which he served up advertisements to his
readers in the Missouri valley. Through all
his announcements of the arrival of fresh
invoice of hosiery at Bullene, M3Ores Il Enl-
eryS; through his advertisements OF new
patent of pillow shams at Abernethy & Or
risons through his revised railway time
tables-in short, through every literary work
which he spread before the pubic i'll the adj
vertising columns of his paper there perco-
lated and trickled and medndered a vein Of
poesy as distinct as any creek put down on
the township maps of jackson county. We
made up our minds some time ago that a bird
sang in Maj. Biethens heart, and a pretty
steady perusal of his sc +"
and I'd Il f. contributions
to the Minneapolis Tribune has confirmed us
in this belief. Then again, the ma or's daily
life-his public and private walk before men
is poem in itself, and one which could be
studied with profit, we think, by his contem-
pOrarieS in the Northwest.

REDUCE TANES.

When such pronounced organ of Pro-
lection as the Philadelphia Times declares
in favor of tariff reduction we are prone to
pause and inquire: rs Saul also among the
prOphets?" One can hardly believe his own
eyes when he reads the following language
in last Thursdays issue of the Times:
I'VE are now eXtOrting from the industry
of the people some $50. 900. 900 which are
not needed for the legitimate expenses of
the government. Such excessive taxation
is not only unwise but it is cruel in its op-
preston. and an open invitation to profit
gate legislation. + Taxes must be re-
duced; both parties are solemnly pledged to
1t, and the party that most cOnspicuously
fails in the fulfillment of that promise will
be likely to lose the great battle of 1883. -
That is sound enough tariff reform doc
trine tor the West. The fact that it is
preached by the ablest exponent of Protec-
ton in the great protection state of Penn
sylvania is pretty good evidence that the
tariff reform move is making wide
sweep. And yet there are prominent Re-
publican politicians in Minnesota who want
to be elected to the United States senate on
high tariff platform.
