A cHARAcrERrsTIc OF TIM GAZETTE is
that IL gives both sides Of every ques-
ton. Unlike some Of contemporaries,
THE GAZETTE does not exclude from its
columns every bit Of opinion that does
agree with its policy and belief. The Sc
rles Of articles now being published under
the head OF "NationaI Problemsp arc not
required to conform to any standard.
THE GAZETTE does not pretend TO indorsc
those articles, or the principles they adj
vocatc. They are written by men emil
nent in the department OF which they
treat, and are worthy OF study, but they
only represent the views OF the writer's
and people who agree with them. Many
OF them take opposite sides OF a question,
as the articles In favor of free trade and
those in favor Of protection 1t would
be as absurd TO hold THE GAZETTE re-
sponsible for the protection articles as to
blame IL for the expressions contained in

seems disposed TO do. Sometimes the
opinions of an adversary furnish good

declared in his favor to assure its favor
sble consideration there, in spite of the
opposition OF Logan and other implaca-

then the justice that brave soldier has

from the Galveston district in congress,

from this hub of the state, moved to
strike II out aud substitute big sum for
the Eads plan. Congress struck out the
appropriation to carry on the work under
the government plan, but, somehow,

A MORE lnsolent attempt at usurpation
was never made than the effort of GER
tain Republican senators TO take away
the Presidents right Of removal, by de-
mandlng to know the "rcasonsn for sus-
pending officials. Not even the uncon-
stitutional interference with the presl-
DENTS rights by the senate during Andy
Johnson's administration surpasses this
action in its baselessness. TO refuse to
confirm aperfectly Sit nomination because
the president refuses TO communicate In
formation as to the causes of removal
which the senators have no business to
know, is to take an unconstitutional po-
sition. When the people come to under.
stand the nature of the war made on the
president, they will send a senate to his
support.
