TEXAS journalism is an unknown
equation and as deadly as unknown. One
section cries out: "If Terrell gets left he
can charge it to the Statesman" another
says Galveston News" and the Waco
Examiner comes to the rescue with the
remark: "lf you want a man knocked
higher than kite or killed deader than
door nail just get one Of those journals
after him and he's a goner. Contrary
wise, all over the State the cry is heard:
The San Antonio Times has laid out
Ireland cold" and "Sul. Ross has ruined
his chances by the advocacy of the Waco
Examiner" II 1t can be conclusively
shown that these charges and counter
charges are approximately correct, then
these journals have deserved more OF
Texas than they have hitherto received.
such services to the State should not 90

ONE reads of the twelve Alderman OF
Gotham in 1884, the year that the ma
tional democracy came into power; ten
Of them are arrested, one surrendered,
one fugative, all held in S25, 600 bonds,
and one seriously questions whether the
advent of that same democracy had any
bearing upon the issue. The cOinci-
dence is suggestive, and the curious
will speculate upon the possible chances
these aldermanic thieves imagined they
would have, under the new regime, for
feathering their own nests. The demo-
crazy and the country are alike to be
congratulated upon the manner in which
these corruptionsts were brought to
book. Tweed was, but is no more.

Law and Order League in pursuing the
violatOrs Of the law to the bitter end.
There are other cities, not excepting
San Antonio, that might be prOtited by
the wholesome and wholesale enforce
ment OF the laws on their several statute
books on this subject. We have q
stringent law against selling liquor to
minors aud it should be enforced. Every
reputable saloon keeper in the city
would be glad to see it enforced, and
would heartily second every effort Of the
authorities to put 1t into execution.
Children and youths under the pre-
scribed age are only nuisance IN such
places, have no legal right there,
streets, and everybody would be much
better off were the law against their
presence in saloons rigidly enfol ced.
Were it so enforced one Of the very
strongest objections to the license sys-
TEN would be removed, and one OF the
most effective weapons OF the prohibi'
tiOnists taken out of their hands.
The Courier-Journal, forecasting the
possible defeat OF the Democracy next
congressional innings. says that 'it Will
be due to the fact that the people have
lost faith in the Democracy Ofthe Demo-
cratic leaders" We accept the Courier
Journal as good authority on the true

The tariff debate in Congress will con-

The President and his Cabinet are
somewhat seriously exercised over that
tenth section of the civil service act,
which reads as fellows:
No recommendation Of any person who shall
apply FOR Office or place under the provisions
Oi this act, which may he given by any Schu
tor or member OF the House ol Representa-
tiNcS. except rs to the character Or residence
OF the applicant, shall be received or cOhsld-
cred by any person concerned in making any
examination or appOlntm "nt under TINS act.
A careful examination OF the several
recommendations, 1.-The papers" con
corning which the Senate desired TO see
and were not permitted, might throw
some unwelcOme light upon the subject
of removals and appointments. 1t may
be that the refusal to permit the Senate
TO examine into said papers" has per
sonal side, which, in view of the section
above quoted, it were well to keep
hidden from the garish light of day. 1t
would be well for Congressman to keep
section No. 10" pasted in his hat, as ii
is well known that forgetfulness Is one
of the sins that our public servants are
heir to.
