painful sickness to robust health marks an

THE Galveston editors are a little
sore on the libel law question, and
keep pounding away at the nuisance
called the present law in good set
fashion. The Tribune, after a column
of false statement libeling this city,
and which there does not appear to
have been the least provocation for,
says:
"The News continues to hammer
away at the Texas libel law. If it sue
ceeds in securing the adjustment of
this Ubiquitous piece of one gallus leg
islation it will merit the thanks of
every honest, fair-minded man in the
state.n
AS "Old Granny Bender" said of
the loaves of bread the wicked boys
threw down the chimney in answer to
her prayer: "The good Lord sent it
even if he sent the devil to bring it,"
1t matters little by whom the bring
ing in of decent state libel law shall
come, saint or devil, so long as it
comes. The present law is a premium
to fraud and blackmail, and should be
speedily abolished.

good opinion of San Antonio, and for
reasons, The Chronicle says:
"We are in love with San Antonio;
we lived there fourteen years and are

NOT VERY CHARITABLE.

NOT VERY CHARITABLE.
1t remains for our neighbor down
the road, the Beeville Bee, to say the
only discourteous thing that has been
said by the press of southwest Texas
concerning the fair and this city in
connection Herewith. 1t was this:
"The San Antonians had fair. Be-
ginning with its opening it began to
rain. The fair continued. 1t still
rained. The fair closed. The rain
stopped. The coincidence looks bad
for San Antonio. It's a bad town."
If the drone who does duty for a
honey bee in the hive down below,
will refresh his memory from the files
of the St. Louis, New Orleans, Kan
sas City and other metropolitan pa
pers, as well as from the Texas jour
nails he will find that somebody else
beside San An tonians were interested
in that fair. If he would read the
"good book" he will find something
about Pharisees and also that the In
finite causes his rain to fall on the
Just and the unjust, the evil and the
good alike. Rainy weather and
misfortune are no sure sign of wicked
ness on the part of those who suffer
therefrom, and among civilized peo-
pie the misfOrtunes Of whole cOmmu-
mites and the discOmfOrts to thou
sands are made occasions of commits
seration and not for drawing self-right-
eous conclusions concerning the mo-
rality of immortality of others. If ac-
counts are correctly rendered Beeville
had much more rain than San Anto-
Mo during the fair period. Is it there
fore te be concluded that Beeville, the
blessed, is a more nngodly town &C
cording to size than San Antonio? !

boring townsmen in this, but COM
mends them to the charity which
thinketh no evil.

THE Republican majority in the New
Jersey Legislature about two weeks ago
passed high license-local option law
over Governor Green's veto. They sup
posed at the time they went through
this performance that the Prohibition
lists would be so delighted with the
me isure that enough Of them would
vote the Republican ticket next No
vember 10 defeat the Democrats in the
State. General Canton b. Fisk, of
that State, who was the late Prohibi-
tion candidate for Governor, was in
Philadelphia near the close of last week.
and when asked what effect the high
Iicense-local option bill would have on
the Prohibition vote in the State, he
said II do not think it will have any
effect on the Prohibition vote. While
the Prohibition party is willing and
anxious to work side by side with any
party which will advance its cause, il
will not be satisfied with anything short
OF Constitutional Prohibition. The
can &c: the Prohibition vote. Our par
ty is not for license, high or low, and I
regard high license as purely Republi-
can measure Thers is no doubt the
New Jersey Legislature was forced
into the measure by the strength de-
yeloped by the Prohibitionists but SO
far as influencing the Prohibition vote
is concerned it cannot and will not have
the least effect upon it," The Prohi-
bitIon party in New Jersey" continued
the General, will poll anywhere from
-, 600 to $1,000 votes at the next Gen
eral election. OF this vote about sixty
per cent. will come from the Republi-
can party. The Prohibitionists Of New
-rsey are united to a man and have a
we'll equipped and powerful organ!za-
tiOn."

AT Mount Holley. 5. c., DR.. Byrd and
party of hands were at work in the woods.
While some of the men were chopping log
1t suddenly began to move toward creek.
and the negroes fed In terror. As the log
reached the creek and fell into it the source
of It's power of locomotion was revealed in a
most astounding manner. Hundreds OF
kissing serpents leaped forth from their
hiding place in the log, and darted fo-th in
different directions in the water. The
snakes were of the genuine water moccasln
species, varying in length from that OF
buggy spoke to a hoe handle. DR.. Byrd
and others stood by watching the snakes
depart, and their going consumed fully 80
inmates. Three of the negroes who fed
when the log began to move have not since
been heard from.
The famous Stack O'Hara casels at
length settled after seventeen years of liti-
CATION. Father NJ. p. Stack, who was pas
tor of the Church of the Annunciation in
WilliamspOrt. was removed from his posi-
ton in 1871 by Bishop O'Hara. of Scranton.
Claiming that the removal was illegal and in
opposition to the canons OF the Church,
Father Stack carried the matter into the
Civil Courts. He was successful in the
lower Courts, but on Bishop O'Hara's ap-
peal the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania re-
versed :he judgment. Father Stack recent
ly made three months retreat at St Bona
ventures College. Allegheny, n. Y, and
then sent in to his Bishop an hamble letter
OF submission and regret for his contumacy.
Bishop O'Hara accepted the submission, re-
stored the priests faculties and then gave
him letters dimmissorIal, or an Great, recon-
mending him to the kind consideration Of
any right reverend Bishop who might be
| pleased to receive him into his diocese. 1t
is understood that Bishop O'COnnor, of
Omaha, Neo., will accept the services Of
/ Father Stack in the event of certain requir-
ed conditions being fulfilled.

Are They Free Traders. 7

The EUeRiRg Telegraph, one of the
aolest Republican journals of this CITY
and one of the most consistent aud earn
est OF the Pennsylvania advocates of
protection, demands the fuIdlment of
the pledge or the Republican party TO
give the country tariff revision and
revenue reduction.
The EUeninJ Call, another positive
and aggressive Republican and protec-
tion journal, reminds Republicans in
Congress tina: 1.-THE people are think
ing" on the question of tariff revision.
and that ''nu iugglery with the tariff
will be tolerated" It plainly blurts
out the truth whsn il says that 1.-THE
tariff as now constituted, is for the
benefit of the monopolists ard the pro-
lection Of trusts"
The Harrisburg telegraph, Senator
Cameron,s home organ, and one of the
Republican journals that have hereto
fore howied free trade at every demand
tor tariff revision, now declares that the
Republicans must present a bill, because
There are inequalities and crudities in
the present tariff which ought TO be
corrected"
