times is the persistency with which
prominent democratic journals attack
the present administration and make
war upon its shortcomings. When such
staunch incorporating democratic
sheets as the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, make daily onslaught upon the de-
partments as mismsnaged by democratic
incompetency, it shows an ingram dis
satisfaction with the present administra-
ton which must eliminate In it's over
throw. its friends cannot defend it
Whist must be expected of its enemies.
The Cotulla Ledger says concerning
the wool situation and other things
Herewith connected:
"Galveston's efforts to secure the trade
of south western Texas has had one good
effort, viz: Southwestern Texas mer-
chants and stockmen get San Antonio
money at 8 per cent, whereas before
they paid u per cent"
Like old Granny Bender. when she
thanke the Lord for the bread which

The FRENCH government seems very
much puzzled as to what disposition to
make of Boulanger. That he is the idol
of the army is not to be questioned, and
it is equally certain that he has a very
strong following among those who are
not in sympathy with the present ad-
ministration. No one seems to know
how far he represents the monsrchicsl
wing Of the chambers and this very un-
certainty invests all his movements
with that peculiar charm which seems
TO surround all unknown things. The
French government In its treatment OF
him is not unlike the man who had hold
of the tigers tail-uncertain whether to
hang on or let go. Having deprived
him OF his command, they are not pre-.
pared for the calm and dignified manner
| in which the depOsed general has met
! the gravity of the situation, and the ap-
parent resignation with which he sub
mits to what was intended as a public
humiliation. Boulanger is not without
many qualities which endear him to his
! countrymen and are allied to great
ness. France is very much more likely
| to hear more of him than less, before
she loses sight OF him forever.
