7 HE WEEKLY BANNER,
J.G RANKIN, Proprietor.
9. h. p. GARRETT. Editor.
Thursday, January 5, 1888
The Houston papers have an is
sue. The question of increasing
the mayors salary is under discuss
ion.
The Austin Statesman is on 6
cold trail. 1t has just now come tc
the conclusion that the pistol law
must go.
The San Antonio Express favors
the Blair bill. The democrats op,
pose it. Therefore the Express
choice of positions is not strange.
DR.. LYMAN ABBOTT, an eminent di-
vine, discusses the question of go
ing to theatres in the current issue
of the Epoch, and concludes that
there can be no harm in attending q
good play.
The BANNER is not prophet nor
the son of prophet, but it predicts
that in 1892 the grand old party of
"reminiscences will appear in the pc
itical arena as the tail to the prohi-
bition kite.
A NUMBER of republicans, white
and colored, are stumping Louis
lana in the interest of Nichols and
reform" This is reason sufficient
why the other fellow should receive
the nomination.
An Atchison, Kansas, man re-
Gently acted as a ,pallbearer at a
funeral and as usher at wedding
the same day, which is an exemplif-
cation of the adage, that in life we
are in the midst of death.
SENATOR REAGAN is loading him
self for his maiden speech, and is
announced to deliver a six-hours
one on the Blair bill right after the
holidays. He has written to State
Land Commissioner Hall for school
statistics.
The Tribute paid the late Secreta-
ry Manning when his remains were
consigned to their last resting
place was a touching one. Few
more distinguished men were ever
gathered together in this country as
mourners at funeral.
An esteemed contempory up in
North Texas just received informs
us that congress has adjourned to
January 5th." With such bright
and wide-awake exchanges to sharp
en- its wits against, the BANNER ex
poets in time to distance the field.
If the national democratic con-
yention should be held in New
York it will not be upon invitation
nor at the bidding of Tammany.
The democrats in the country at
large love Tammany like Gen.
Bragg, of Wisconsin, loved State
Senator Grady.
DURING the recent cold spell the
town clock in the courthouse tower
froze up and stopped striking. 1t
has proved such great convenience
and citizens have been so thorough
ly accustomed to regulate their hab
its by it, that any arrangement of
the works prove great drawback.
A PROMINENT Hungarian politician
says that peace is now probably as
sured since the Russians have dis
covered that the Teutons are not
afraid of them, So, no! it has all
along been bluff game, and these
great powers have been acting in the
role of small boys at outs over a
game of marbles?
HowE's great American circus has
been confscated at Monterey and
its attaches imprisoned because it
did not show all that was down on
the bills. While the arbitrary meth
DDS of the greazers are not to be adj
mired, yet it would have salutary
effect if the great only original and
