MANY of the Texas papers are out
spoken against dark horse candidates.
From present appearances there will be
no danger Of dark horses. Any horse
who could possibly limp through guber-
material race will have been mentioned
by "many citizens" long before the con-
vention meets.

IT IS charged BY the Knights OF Labor
that the going into the hands of the re-
oeiyer was scheme on the part of the
Texas and Pacific Railroad Company to
rid itself Of their domination. This is
probably an idle and groundless asser-
ton, but suppose even it is true, it is
legal and legitimate, looking at it from
an unbiased standpoint. "Everythingis
fair in love and war" is undoubtedly the
principle acted upon by both parties.
The Knights attempted to control the
road, and the stockholders wished to re-
tain it. Atpresent the stockholders are
on top in the sight.

A WRITER in the Proof Sheet" in an
article entitled "A Plea for the Press"
says: "Champions OF charities, laborers
Of love, increasingly exposing shams and
encouraging enterprise, the better part
of newspaper men are the most constant
in teaching right. Reporters have the
lions share of abuse Their lot is often
hard one. Few people take into con-
sideratiOn the temptations that beset
these gatherers of news and the difficult
ties that they must encounter. Poorly
paid, Over-worked night tOilerS, these
beginners in journalism as rule have to
pass through a bitter apprenticeship.
Boys OF all work, the strain put on
them is tremendous. Their range
reaches from the palace to the
| slums, from hell to heaven; they are
everywhere looked upon with sus-
| picion. 1t is strange, then, with so
many obstacles liz the way, that they
sometimes make mistakes? 1t is Won
derful that they commit SO few. De-
| spite all these disadvantages, despite all
the condemnation that Is heaped upon
| them. reporters are Il band of talented,
sprightly, generous men Of spirit,
mostly straightforward, quick to resent
insult and grateful for kindness. No
profession embraces so large a proper
| tiOn of tyrOs with intellectual grasp.
The political position of newspapers is
also apt 10 be misjudged. If strongly
partisan, the editors are charged with
interested motives; ifnOn-partIan, with
lack of conviction. Why should you be
less fair to them than to your neighbors,
whose opinions You are ready to respect,
and whose motives you do not impugne?
Demands from an ideal newspaper are
perpetually dinned in editors ears.
Their appreciation of the need of
Improvement 10 keencr than that OF the
public, but they are powerless. They
have experience, and know that this
need must await a civil millennium.
When civilization shall have reached the
hlSuNel tuCu luCul udllN
newspaper. as still the true reflex OF life
will become both profitable and possible.
Attempt after attempt has thus far
failed, mainly for lack OF pscunisry as
sistance ard moral support of the mon
eyed classes, who are prompt to criticise.
The grandest mission conceivable be-
longs to the newspaper. With made
guate financial or moral encouragement
the press keeps apace with he times, in
fact, keeps ahead of them. Always a
grade better than its surroundings, the
best type OF American newspaper will
surely fulfill its high mission, the en-
lightenment ofmankind, and the realIza-
tions of tine brightest dreams Of all true
disciples Of progress"

The Times Of Saturday says:

"As the EVENING LIGHT seems DIS
posed to agitate the question Of city
printing, il might be well TO examine
some OF the contracts under which that
paper has heretofore done suCh city
work. 1t is very natural that the LIGHT
should wish to hold on to the city print
ing. 1t had good thing, but 1t couldn't
keep ii. Hence these tears, but the tax
payers are rot doing the weeping. The
LIGHT bled the city treasury long enough.
The less it says about the matter, the
better tor it,"
The LIGHT has heretofore had the city
printing because it was awarded to 1t
on an open and square bid, just the
same as all bids and contracts should be
let. The LIGHT has always given the
city value received for every item IL re-
ceiyed pay for, and It's books are open
for inspection. And as regards the ad-
verlisng contract, which was recently
let by which the Times becomes the
city organ, the LIGHT has no objections
to make. The Times could afford to do
the advertising cheaper than the LIGHT
could. and therefore the Committee did
what they should do, and awarded that
paper that part Of the contract. What
the LIGHT objects to is tho way the
Finance Committee ignored the
greater part of the LIGHr's bid
on job printing, where the price
was given for printing pamphlets,
ordinances, and in fact the cream OF the
work which the mayor trusts the
council could leave to him to give OUT
The statement that no bid was given
for pamphlets, on account of mistake
of the clerk. is very thin. The finance
committee will either have to say that
they did not examine the bid Of the
LIGHT or that it was ignored. The
LIGHT is not complaining because of a
loss OF the printing, but because Of the
apparent lack Of fairness on the part OF
the mayor and finance committee in this
matter. The LIGHT made specific bid
for pamphlet work, and the mayor in
open council said: mo bids had been
received for pamphlet work"
