THURSDAY, APRIL l., 1890.
THIS city is bubbling over with
business enthusiasm and daily pre-
sents more good openings for business
than any city in Texas.
THE British government will need
all its votes on the Irish land bill. if,
as is estimated in the dispatches, the
the whole opposition unltes agains
it. A defeat would cause a Gladston-
ian smile to creep from John OIiroat's
house to Lands-End
THE democratic journals are worry
ing awfully over the situation. Let
them worry. For this end was a
democrat born and for this cause did
he come into the world, that he might
worry over the inevitable destiny
which C0mpels him to march III the

the convention meets is uncertain.
Mcdonald is probably the best man
mentioned, but it is very doubtful
about his getting there. The best
man in democratic convention. like
the "best man. at welding, always
gets left.
CABLE dispatches state that Stan,
ley will get the cold shoulder in
Paris because some years since he
wounded French susceptibIlities by q
speech he delivered in the FrencI
capital. Just wait until the returns
are in and see if any European city
does the great explorer more honor
than Paris. She is too great to be %
small.
