THE Fort Worth Gazette charges
the Galveston Press with very mean
thing in saying:
The Galveston newspapers suppress
interviews favorable to the Texas
Spring Palace. The work at the
Brazos' mouth goes bravely on.
The Galveston News is devOting
whole pages of it's issue, and solid
columns at that, to the report of the
doings day by day at the semi CEN
tennial, and it may be that lack of
space not lack of inclination prevents
the publication of interviews as COM

Mr.. BLAINE's mining ventures turn
out well and his large fortune con-
stantly increases by the growing val
ues Of his naming properties. Some
time, about two years hence, it will
be in order for his democrat critics to
arise and swear by all the names of
Cleveland that Blaine has grown sud-
ly rich by the corrupt use of his power
as secretary of state, and there will be
ten thousand democratic editors who
will catch up the,refrain and it de itall
along the lines from Maine to Mexico.
Please bear in mind, messeurs demo-
Gratis. that James G. Blaine is a large
stakeholder in the Little Hope silver
mine which has paid $4 800, 900 in div
dends during the past five years; that
he holds, also, large stake in the
Pride of Erin mine which pays the
stock 100000 in dividends
every year; that he is a stakeholder
in valuable iron mining and coal min
ing plants, and is a rich man who can
afford to give his time to politics and
national affairs, spend a fortune every
year and draw no salary from the
government were he so disposed.
Remember these things when the
charge of corruption is made against
him two years hence as it certainly
will be.

The Waco Day is one of the few
democratic journals in Texas that can
see any good in republican eNecu-
tive. For this expression of the Day
the LIGHT returns thanks:
"The president performed an act of
justice and a graceful and appropriate
duty in the appointment as postmis-
tress at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, of Mrs.
Emma Clayton, widow of Hon. John
NJ. Clayton, who was so fOully assas-
sinated a few months ago at Plum
mersville, in that state. 1t is pathetic
to know that a helpless woman has
been deprived of husband and pro-
tector by the base and cowardly deed
of a midnight assassin, but there is
some consolation in knowing that her
bitter struggle with the world has
been to some extent lightened by the
help SO promptly bestowed by friends
who were able and willing to help"

A London Newspaper.

The newspaper of London is a
great institution. Each daily runs
up its news in a big card placed in n
public position around the city-a
new placard for each edition-all
posted over the city like circus bills.
The London Times has one queer
custom. It costs six cents per num-
ber, the Others but one or two cents.
Large numbers subscribe only to
the ,endng of the Times a certain
hour daily. A carrier delivers to
his reader at IA certain hour, and
then takes it back and delivers it to
another reader. This costs but two
cents, and begins at six and ends at
twelve, noon. So one paper serves
six persons, and the carrier gets
twelve cents and has the paper left.
A carrier with twelve patrons makes
good living. And this is one of the
