THE MARYLAND FgRRY.-A committee

OF the Maryland ferry, last night appeared
before the Gos0ce committee to urge The
Importance Of such a step They stated
thar The steamer Virginia, formerly of that
lac, vas nov too much out of condition to
be repaired, hat that her machinery, at a
comparatively small cost, could be repaired
aad placed in anoher boat which could be
tui.t fer abou; g 900 They said the cost
of new steamer, tho construction OF slip
on thu opposite shore. etc. would cost about
$1,000 and thought that if Council would
near oae-half the expense the remainder
could oe raised among tbs merchants OF the
CITY. rhay set forth the advantages of
having closer connection with the people Of
Maryland aud told ofhcw much trade this
city was nov losing BY not having ferry.

sent the matter TO Council.

Special to the Gazette.
DENTON, TEX. March 18.-The board
of trade of this city met last even
ing in the Paschal hall pursuant to adj
journed session from last Saturday
evening. The organization was COM
pleted by electing Judge ]. A. Carroll,
president; Capt. T. W. Abney, first

visible in almost every part of our

TRUSTS AND PARTIES.

An interesting but somewhat unnecessary
dispute has sprung up between our es-
teemed cotemporaries, the Chicago Inter
Ocean and the New York Times, as to
which party the trusts belong to. The
Inter- Ocean having asserted that the Stan
dard Oil Company is definitely identified
with the Democratic party" and that the
dressed beef combine will follow its ex-
ample, the New York Times retorts by
quoting Senator Payne's assertion that nine
tenths of the stockholders and all the
directors of the Standard are Republicans,
and asserts that certain features of the Nc
Kinley bill will inure to the benefit OF the
trusts. All of which leaves the subject
matter of the dispute about as near settle
ment as it was in the first place.
Our friends could save themselves the
e1ertion involved in this dispute if they
would study the rule of action laid down by
Mr. jay Gould before trusts were known, but
when the guiding principles of corporate
plunder were the same when brought in con-
nection with legislation. Mr.. Gould testi-
fed of the Erie management: 1--WE were
Republicans in Republican districts and
Democrats in Democratic districts" We
can assure our Chicago and New York
cotemporaries that the same charm
ing impartiality governs the political
action of the trusts to-day. The
Standard can support Democratic candi-
date for Senator in Ohio, and Republican
candidate for Governor in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t will purchase legislation from
either Democratic or Republican legis-
latures, as it needs, without political
prejudice; and the same ability to
rise above party lines will govern the action
of every trust where its interests are con-
cerned, unless those interests are fully
guarded by the policy of an especial party.
This absence of party ties in the trust
policy is not without its light on the course
of the parties. Our esteemed contemporaries
should perceive that the doubt will be re-
moved when either one party or the other
sets itself energetically and sincerely to
wipe out the trusts. Then there will be no
question but that all the trusts will belong
to the other party.

WORK FOR HUMoRISTs.

The uses Of humorists, like those of ad-
versity, are developing unexpected and
especial attractions almost striking enough
TO warrant the Shakespearian simile of the
toad which wears a precious jewel in its
head. The latest example in this line is the
application of sharp discipline to street
car conductor who relieved a fit of bad
temper by swearing at the passengers. The
particular target for his obiurgations was a
humorist of no less standing than Mark
Twain; and the latter laid the matter before
the officers of the corporation in an open
letter which resulted in the conductors dis
charge. This is much more appropriate
function for the humorist than is presented
by the Wisconsin idea of making governors
and political leaders of them. If the aspi-
rants to the rank of professional funny men
in Pittsburg can succeed in establishing
the rule of polite manners on transit lines,
they will establish their rank beyond ques-
ton
