The BANNER is in receipt of pam
phlet sent out by the New York
Evening Post, containing reprint
of editorial articles published in that
journal against the Blair educational
bill, which it terms "a bill to promote
mendicancy." The BANNER doesn't
happen to be in need of any enlight-

porary on the subject, and therefore
prays to be excused from reading it.

The Waco Examiner wants to
know which one of the papers first
started the paragraph which has
been going the rounds Of the press
as an editorial without change of
verbiage, in regard to the drunken
bees that patronize the still in'Rap-
pahannock county, Va. If the Elk
aminer really desires to know, it is
hereby informed that the BANNER is
the first paper in the state to pub
lish it, and is not responsible for
its exchanges adopting its verbiage.
As WAS anticipated, the president
has nominated Gen. Bragg, of Wis
consin, as envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to the Mex
lean court. The cause of the delay
in sending in his name to the sen
ate is understood to beo account
of opposition from Secretary of
State Bayard. While Gen. Bragg
is a good, clever fellow, and a demo
crat to the core, he is impetuous and
utterly lacking in diplomacy. This
was the ground of the secretary's
opposition. s }ss IL +
W. A. F1TcH, of Eagle Pass, was

In recent issue of the, Dallas
News Mr.. Fitch writes sensible

h Rev. BURcHARD, who was among
the callers on the president several
weeks ago when the Evangelical Al
lance held its meeting in Washing
ton City, is now one of the most az
dent and enthusiastic admirers of
the chief executive, and even goes SO
far as to assert In an interview the
other day that it is his firm belief
that Cleveland is president IN accor-
dance with divine appointment, and
that God chose him (Burchard) as a
feeble instrument to work the divine
will by prompting him to get off that
famous double back-action rum,
Romanism and rebellion" alitera-
ton.
In ITS issue of Friday morning the
BANNER had an editorial on the Texas
pineries.. In yesterdays Galveston
News there was a Dallas dispatch
announcing the presence in that city
of DR.. W. o. Culp, a wealthy citizen
of Davenport, Iowa, who represents
the Chicago and Rock Island road,
which he states desires connection
with the Eastern Texas pineries, and
says: II am certain that the pineries
of Texas will soon be the source OF
lumber supply for all the great
prairie belt comprising Kansas, Ne
braska and all other Western states.
The BANNER was not far off the
track.
