Mr.. I. III. Julian, editor and pro
prietor of the San Marcos FREE Press
has witnessed the demise OF three
opposition papers in San Marcos, and
now finds himself confronted with a
fourth in the shape of joint stock
coucern, and in his usual straightfor-
way, makes them proposition to take
his plant and build mp one good pa
per, instead Of dividing a patronage
barely sufficient for one. His sug-
gestions are wise ones, and if every
embryo journalist could fairly esti-
mate the losses, trials and many dis
appointments that hover around
every venture in this field, papers
would be much less numerous than
now.-Houston Labor Echo.
0uronly apprehension is that we
shall not be confronted to any ser
ious extent on the fair and square
proposition we have made.

Blaine's Formidable Obstacles.
San Jose Herald.

James G.. Blaine is evidently to be
the republican candidate for presi-
dent, if the machine politicians can
make him so. But he will be oppos-
by many of the most powerful re-
publican newspapers in the country.
The Boston Herald does not want
him. The Philadelphia Press is
against him. The Springfield Re-
publican repudiates him. The New
York Times will fight him first last
last and all the time. Harper 8
Weekly will caricature him with the
rame relentless bitterness as before
The Chicago Tribune will attack him
with all Joe Medill's powerful battery.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat will
oppose him in the Southwest. The
st. Poul Pioneer Press will swing the
Northwest out of line for him. With
these forces against him it seems
hardly possible that Mr.. Blaine can
get the nomination, and if he is NOM
mated with such forces against him,
it is impossible to elect him.

At the downfall of NJ. Grevy their
hope rose somewhat, the expeciat on
that Jules Ferry would replace him

aspirations in this direction. the in

contest seeming to settle his chances

that their campaign has refrigerated

Made no Money.

Two gentlemen on the train few
days ago, were talking of the money
that is madc in Wichita in real estate
I listened awhile and then said, "that
money is not made in Wichita" They
wanted to know where else, then 9
friend of theirs bought lots for $1,000
and sold them for 500, 900, so he
made $4,000 in Wichita. I said No
tho other man made or earned the
$4,000 somewhere else, and your
friend simply euchered him out of it
by giving him a lot of Wichita dirt
for it. They looked ct me as if
were an escaped lunatic, out finally
admitted I was right.

In considering the responsibility
for the Reading strike, it must be re.
membered that the Schylkill miners
had received on Sept. first an advance
of s per ceht,, which has since been
paid to them, but which the company
intends to take off on New Years
day. As there are about thirty thou
sand employees affected by the order,
the grievance of the men is a very
substantial one, and in striking against
reduction of wages Mt this season OF
the year, they have the sympathy OF
the public. Y. Star.

Mr.. Tilden's outspoken estimate OF
Mr.. Cleveland, when he had OF last
made up his mind to cast his mantle
on him, may be interesting.
HE is inexperienced" said the
sage, but he Is honest, strong, and
makes an impression on all who meet
him. It is said he is a man of des.
tiny, per haps he is: I think he can
be elected. If so, he is wise, patriot.
ic, fearless and great worker He
will run the government and execute
the laws faithfully" I consider this
a great tribute for man then SO
young and comparatively obscure as
Mr.. Cleveland, to extort from Mr..
Tilden.

To the People OF the e5th Senatorial
District.

TO the PeOpie OF the -oth oena.oria'
District.
At the meeting OF the State Immi-
grafton Convention held ut Dallas on
December Goth, 1887, the undersign-
ed was elected chairman OF the 25th
senatorial district, composed OF the
counties Of Caldwell, Guadalupe,
Hays, Blanco, Llano, Comal and
Kendall. 1t was suggested at said
meeting that each district pay into
the general fund the sum of 500 to
be used in advertising each particu-
lar section. At the meeting held at
Dallas on the Goth OF December it
was suggested that $500 more be
raised by each district, to be placed
in bank subject to the call of the
chairman, to be used solely and ex-
clusively for the district contributing
it under the direction of the central
committee.
As it will be impossible for me to
visit the various counties in person, l
respectfully suggest that meetings
be held and contributions raised 30
that our district may take her place
among the others of the state.
Funds may be forwarded to me or
to Johnston and Lipscomb, bankers,
Luling, Texas, together with reports
of meetings held, If we would Sc
cure the benefits to be derived from
the movement just inaugurated, we
must do our share of the work and
and pay our part of the expense.

An Old Company,s Reunion.


KING GEORGE c. H., Va, Sept. 1S.-The
SOth day of August, 1855, will long continue
to be red letter day in the history OF Co.
K, 3Oth Regiment, Va. Infantry. The
remnant of that gallant company, which
had survived the shock OF battle and the
ravages of time, met pursuant TO an agree.
ment. made at last August Court, at Colo.
nia Beach, that agreeable watering place,
on the Potomac river, under the manage
ment of that hospitable and genial host. b.
Bossart, ESQ of the city of Alexandria, in
order to clasp hands aud look iuto each
others eyes once more in life and to revive
the recollectons and memories of the days,
that tried mems souls and to pay fitting
tribute to those gallant spirits of the old
command, who are numbered among the
unreturnipg braves. The day was all that
heart could wish, and we'll did the survivors
of old Co. K. enjoy it to the utmost. The
wives and children Of those who were boys,
in the dark days, graced the occasion with
their presence, while the hundreds of friends
of the noble old company gave their pres
enoe and sympathy. A reorganization of the
company was effected to meet annually,
and called Camp Chew" in honor of that
noble spirit and gallant officer, Col. Ro. S.
Chew, of Fredericksburg, Va. A number of
honorary members were elected, among
whom were Mr.. Henry I. Garnett and
Judge c. H Ashton, of King George. Upon
the previous invitation of the command,
about 8 O'Clock p. M, Judge Ashton ad-
dressed the command in speech unsur.
passed in eloquence and pathos. Well did
he hold his hundreds of hearers spell bound,
and the tear stole down the cheek of many
a war worn veteran, as he painted the elo-
ries of the undying days of the Lost Cause,
after which the company with their friend
did full justice to the choice and ample
spread of mine host Bossart. Many toasts
we're drunk and responded to. and many a
we'll remembered Gong of camp was sung.
which ended one of the most pleasant re-
unions that has taken place since the war.
