1t IS remarkable that the New York

The New York Times and the New

this sIur of the Houston Post is not
warranted by the facts. The Bel
knaps deserved well Of their state and
tits little mean and ungenerous in
the Post to attempt to bclittle them at
home when they were truly honored
abroad. The Army and Navy Journal
made mention of no other save the
West Points Cadets and the BeIknaps.

AND still the fight goes on among
the republican candidates for Office
from Texas. Brewster and Jodon are
making a hot fight for the Corpus
Christi collectorship, and the intelli-
gent correspondent puts in Conductor
Fithian who is a candidate for the
Laredo, place as the dark horse who,
as Private Secretary HalfOrd's broth
er-in-law, is to knock the Corpus
Christi persimmon. The simple fact
is all gueSses are mere speculation,
and all prophets are at sea, and most
OF them Jonahs at that. The presi-
Dental mind on appointments is one
of those things that no fellow can find
out, and correspondents of the press
cannot give Information which they
do not possess. Their trade, however,
is to wire something and SO the daily
grist is ground and sent out east and
west and north and south and the
reader must decide for himself what
is brar. what is flour and what mere
mill dust.
THE Fort Woi tn Gazette makes
very neat point on Galveston in tie
following:
"The citizens of Galveston are max
ing elaborate preparations for a mag
nificent military and civic celebration,
to take place in that city June to -,
1889, in honor of the seml-centennial
Of the organization of the city gov
eminent of the city. 1t is intended
by the management that the delebra-
ton shall surpass in magnitude and
variety anything of the kind ever I'M
dertaken in Texas. Visitors to the
Texas Spring Palace will find Calves
ton delightful and lovely place. 1t
affords the Gazette pleasure to rec
ommend visit to the Galveston cell
ebiation, even if the Galveston papers |
cannot afford TO notice the Texas |
Spring Palace, which is intended to |
ard benefit all the state"
The Fort has secured the promise
of Governor Diaz, of Mexico, to be |
present if he can get the consent of
his legislature, and that consent he
has asked for. This will prove an
card, and it also proves that
Fort Worth does not allow anything |
to pass which can be utilized for her
benefit.

THE Paris correspondents fthe New
Orleans Times-Dem0crat gives a very
dOleful view of the situation pOlit-
zeal. He says, date of April p, that
no one attaches the slightest impOr-
lance to the vote in the Clarendon
municipal council election in which
Boulanger was defeated by two votes,
as deciding anything for the general
elections. His opinion is that if Gen
eral BOUlanger is allowed to stand he
will get ut least 100000 votes, and if
sentenced and banished there VIII be
a revolution in October, The CORE
spOmdemt has no love for BJulanger,
whom he says is worthless in record,
character and abilities, but con trasts
favoTably with those who now govern
France. A French gentleman, well
posted as to the situation, is quoted
as saying:
1T is heartrending to see Whist is
going on and perfectly incompre
hensible. The government had or
ganized a meeting of electors for
w III lbC vi blb
Orient hall and sent out up
ward of 5000 letters of invi-
tation, in which it was announced
that several important deputies
would speak. Well, / went. How
many people attended, do you think?
Just eleven, and out of those five
were electors. The same evening
more than 5000 electors of this section
were in attendance at different meet.
ings organized by the generals
agents. 1t seems as if France had
been stricken with madness, prior, l
fear, to her destruction"
In making a political martyr of
General Roulanger the French gov
eminent has put its foot into it and
the result may be disaster. Jules
Ferry is the most able man in France
today. He is sagacious and eloquent
but any attack he might make on
BOulangerism would only strength
en- it as Ferry is under the popular
ban and wOuld have no influence
with the masses against their popular
idol. France is in hard luck. Her
great foes are those of her own house
hold.

The death of Count Tolstoi, of Rus
STA, is made occasion for the following
from the Times of this city:
"Of all mankind, there is scarcely
one to drop tear on the grave of
Count TolstOi, the late Russian prime
minister. The mines of Siberia are
full OF people whose curses follow the
inhuman monster who was as devoid
of pity as he was destitute of virtue. -
Count Tolstoi was not prime minis
ter, but minister of the interior. He
was man of the people. One of the
most conspicuous of her great hearted
humanitarians and who entered unon
his work Of government most re-
luctantly. All his ideas were modern
and in sympathy with progressive
Russia. The world Of letters mourned
his death and the common people lost
friend in high quarters when Count
TolstOi passed into the silent land.
