what 1t is not; for what II does and what
1t does not do; for what 1t prom
ises and for what 1t will perform, and
for what 1t does not promise and cannot
perform. 1t swears that it cannot pass
the house OF representatives; that II IL
does. the president will veto 1t; that II
he does not veto it no written law can
compel a state to accept its provision,
and that granting such written law the
unwritten law which is higher than all
will present the carrying out OF the pro-
visions OF the bill should 1t become law.
Thus crates he BRENNAN oracle on the
matter:
"The Blair educational bill was sue.
cessfully steered clear OF the Soylla OF
the senate. but will go to pieces against
the Chary bdis OF the h use. III an I'M
seen Providence should guide it safely
through both OF these, there 10 the
spt ctre o. the presidential veto staring
II In the face. And even ifit should meet
with executive approval there Is no law
written or un itten that can compel q
state to accept its provisions"
The Banner covers entirely too much
ground for the sIzs Of Its hat.
The Galveston Tribune pays the fol-
lowing generous tribute to the memory
OF one OF its fallen foes:
"In the death Of DR.. David X. Locke,
of Toledo, o., the world loses one OF its
brightest humorists and ablest satirists.
His "Confedrit Y Roads" articles were
tinged with venom sometimes, but their
humor was indisputable. He has gone
to his repose and his political enemies
will soon forget the bitterness oil MS
thrusts."
This sentiment is In marked contrast
to some OF the journalistic notices which
have been flung like curse upon the
memory Of the loyal dead. 1t reflects
credit upon the Tribune and affords the
LIGHT sincere pleasure to so say. And
this the LIGHT does not hesitate to say,
notwithstanding the following which
appears Immediately after the above
notice In the editorial columns OF the
Tribune:
"Galveston Is always In the lead. For
years sea serpents having been reported
at famous sea side resorts, but these
stories were generally regarded as cook
ed up stories to attract visitors. A sea
serpent 80 fet long and having Isngs
like a San Antonio editor was recently
killed near this port"
The Tribune is only savage when Its
weather eye lights on San Antonio.
Has this city committed the unpsrdon-
able sin 10 making strong effort to look
after Its own financial and commercial
interestsP ESQ, the sins 1t has commit
ted are venial compared to those which
II intends to commit

The democratic journals that are
ready to exolaim, "Let Randall make
the platform and we care little who is
placed upon" plagiarize the old sentI-
ment, "Let me make the songs Of a peo-
pie and I care not who makes their
laws" Randsll's platform would be
merely protectionist bridge for free
trade president to reach the white house
over. This is political consistency.
