A GALVESTON special to the Fort
Worth Gazette says that Major
Mansfield, of the United States
army, who for six years past has
resided in Galveston and has had
charge of the government river
and harbor improvements along
the Texas coast has asked the war
department to relieve him from
duty in this district. The special
says that considering the meagre
appropriations for this coast dur
ing his term he has done good
work and SUCCEEDED in every under
taking to the fullest extent admit,
ted by the appropriations. Now
while all OF this may be true, 1t is
admitted that the channel at Gal
weston has not been materially i'm
proved, and it is strong argument
against making small appropria-
lions for harbor work; the only re-
suit heretofore has been that the
money is spent and the only per-
sons benefited are the contractors.
Appropriations should be large
enough to accomplish some good
within q reasonable time.

THE SENATORIAL RACE.

1t is we'll known that the Gal
weston News has no especial love
for Governor Ireland, and it rare
ly misses change to say so. 1t
SAYS the Laredo Times and the
San Antonio Times have for some
time been working up an Ireland
boom for the United States Senate.
The boom has not doomed TO any
appreciable extent and the News
advises its esteemed contempora-
ries to boom Ireland for the presi-
dency. So far as the BANNERS OBJ
servation extends the News boom
boom for Terrell is not making as
much progress as it might. 1t ap-
pears that q new paper, the Texas
Weekly News, published at Austin
is also booming Terrell. The
legislature that will elect Maxey's
successor IN the Senate will not be
itself elected until next November,
and the various aspirants for the
United States Senate will have
plenty of time between now and
tie election to present their claims
before the people, the Legislature
being direct from the people will
be recreant to their duty if they
fail to elect the peoples choice for
United States Senator. The BAN
NER thinks that Senator Maxey has
proved useful working member
for the State and the country, and
several other newspapers are of
the same way of thinking, however
it will be perfectly satisfied with
Whoever may be elected. Messrs.
Terrell, Ireland and Marcy are all
old stump speakers and in due
time will let the people hear from
them by presenting their claims.
While the BANNER thinks that Mr.
Ireland has made us fairly good
and honest governor 1t tails to see
that he hss established, by his
ability, any claims to the Senator
ship. Mr.. Terrell is q brilliant
man and statesman and if the
of Marcy falls on his
shoulders Texas will be we'll and
ably represented in the Senate.

st. Louis Republican; With n
wheat crop last year OF some 500
900, 900 bushels, and part OF the
surplus of the yesg before left over,
one might seppose the supply of
this grain was ample, and more
than ample for all legitimate pur-
poses but 1T seems that it actual
ly falls short two-thirds of the
amount represented in the sales in
1855. The receipts Of wheat in
New York last year were 24,OOO,-
900 bushels, but the sales amount
ed TO 1908, 957 900 bushels-ten
times as much as could have been
delivered if delivery had been call
ed for. And this does not include
the nearly equal amount of sales
made at Chicago and other points.
The transactions In stocks were
larger, still. The sales of stocks
in New York alone. amounted to
over nine thousand milllons--wbich
is twice as much as all tie railroads
in the country are worth.

TaE Dallas News comes TO The
defense OF calss OF men who are
to be found in every community,
and whp are denominated as moss
backs; it says the mossbacll gener-
ally is q man who has accumulated
property by industry, economy
and strict attention to his own
business. Such men are safe and
conservative, and If they do not
take much part in public improve
ments and modern progress, most
of them pay all debts they con-
tract. 1t takes all kinds OF men
to make the world, and so long as
the mossback attends to his own
business and does moi prevent the
progressive portion of the commu-
nifty from going ahead he is all
right.

THE CROAKER.

I Tho New Orleans Times-Demo'
crat gives this advice to tho PEG
pie of its city:
"Stop croaking. Intelligent
criticisms and resolute work will
accomplish wonders. DyspeptIc
growing will accomplish nothing,
We cannot attract capital To New
Orleans by advertising it as a city
of numberless woes. Let our peo-
! pie exert themselves to utilize the
unsurpassed advantages of our po'
sition, and all will be well. One
day of real work is worth years OF
aimless croaking, which nobody
takes much TO heart except the
croaker."
There is nothing new or original
in the above, but there is Il great
deal of truth IN it, and truths that
those who are addicted to croak.
ing completely overlook. The
man who gives way to croaking
usually has little time for anything
else; he devotes almost lis "a ire
time and attention to croakI"-. aud
if he can hear of anythin@ wrong
or of any contemplated improve
ment, he loses no time IN lnyc>tl-
eating it, having in view solely
the object of ascertaining the pos
sibilIties OF its utter failure, and
he then spends his time in cndcav-
oring to convince everyone who
has the time and patience to listen
to him that the enterprise must of
necessity prove a failure. Mr..
Croaker is ubiquitous; he can be
found in every community,
town and city. He Is not a
desirable citizen, he frequently
talks of moving to some other
place, but rarely has the time or
the money necessary TO carry out
his plans. Happily the Croaker
family is not very large, but still
it is large enough to do consldera-
bic harm. Every town and city
has Its destiny in its own hands,
and upon the exertions of its own
citizens depends its future success /;
the live town that is full of enter
prising public-splrIted men goes
ahead at an astonishing rate, and
by its progress it attracts 1.-Two men
from other places. The wide-awake
business man when he starts out to
look for . location will never be
found going to town that is noted
for lack of enterprise. The more
pluck and enterprise exhibited by
a town or q city the more likely it
Is TO attract the attention OF men
who have capital to invest. The
individual or the town that cannot
keep fully abreast of the car OF
progress must be content to lag
behind and take the chances along
with the other stragglers.
