THURSDAYS Galveston News pub
lished over page of stuff which it
pretended was a refutation of the
charge that it had been bribed by
the railroads to oppose the railway
commission amendment and to adj
vocate railroad interests. The Ban
NER has never accused the News of
being bribed and does not do so
now. But we must say its alleged
refutation of the charges is awfuIly
weak. The News claims that its
refutation of the charges is in vindi-
cation of reputable journalism as
much as to clear its own skirts.

An Estimate of the Amount Now
Available.
In its weekly review of the wheat
market, the Market Record says that
the receipts in Minneapolis for the
week were 609.730 bushels, with ship
ments of 97,100 bushels, against receipts
of $40, lao bushels and shipments of &c.
200 bushels for the week previous.
1t is claimed that the mills have ground
considerable more wheat than farmers
have drawn out of their granaries dur
ing the week, making stocks out of
farmers hands smaller by the difference
of consumption and shipments of wheat
out of Minnesota above farmers sales.
1t is difficult to judge closely even as to
the approximate difference, but it is
probable that farm deliveries have not
more than equaled one-half of the mill
ing consumption and shipments.
There is quite a large amount of
wheat to draw from in the Non Invest,

An Expression of Opinion Re-
garding the Americans Affairs.
A gentleman whose name at the bot
tom of a check makes it very desirable
property gave vent to some facts and
feelings yesterday in the presence of
reporter, the burden of which was that
he failed to perceive whereupon the
public examiner based his opinion in
regard to the American Building and
Loan affairs. He could not see why
that concern should not be allowed to
continue. THE official has said plainly
enough that he saw no evidence
of croookedneSs," he went on to
say, land the present management
is certainly cleared of any suspicion in
that respect. The books and accounts
were in the best possible shape, and the
associations business affairs otherwise
ably managed. Now, see here. Pve got
1t pretty straight that Mr.. Kenyon has
stated positively that he has no idea of
charging the alleged deficiency to mis-
use of funds by the officers, or that the
loan fund had been improperly handled.
The association has shown, according
to his statement, difference of S75,0O0
between the stockholders money and
the available assets. He fails to show,
however, that the discrepancy is not ae-
counted for in the disbursements made
according to law and the shareholders
contracts.
''In regard to the other building and
loan associations, whose business is
local, 1t is question if he has compared
their relative position IN the commu-
nifty. don't believe he ever has. These
companies are generally started with
out having any fixed capital. The
profits for the first few years are away
under the expense account, but this is
fully made up by the largely increased
profits of the later years.
'There is no denying that Mr.. Ken
yon should have taken into considera-
ton the principles which govern the
local concerns in forming an opinion.

A OINOH ON THE CITY.
At Heart 1t Looks as If the EN-
plOyment Agents Have One.

The action of the employment agen-
cies in petitionlng the council to refund
certain moneys paid in accordance with
the requirements of certain ordinances
held to be void by Judge Mahuney,
has been variously reported. The
facts of the case are as fol-
lows: In 1885 state law was
passed, establishing license fee for
employ ment agents of 500 for an indefi-
mite period, and requiring $4,000 bonds.
In 1887 the council passed an ordinance
disregarding the state law, and making
the license 500 annually. and reducing
the bonds to $1,000. Last spring the
present council passed repeating
ordnance. making the license
the bonds to $1,000. AS a result each
employment agent doing business has
paid into the city treasury about $4G0.
Judge Mahoney, Of the municipal court,
has decided that the ordinances were
void, being in conflict with the state
law, which prescribed the entire
power of the city. The employ
ment agents, therefore. claim
they have thus paid In $500 too much
since 1885, and the petition to be pre-
sented to the council will ask the city
To retain only the $l0O provided for by
the state law, and issue a license for all
indefinite period. Attorneys who have
looked into the matter say the only
ground that the city can es-
cape refunding the amounts asked
is upon the bubble that the money was
paid in by the employment agents with.
out legal protests. The contention Of
the employment agents is that they
have always protested against the pay
ment of license fees exacted by the sew
eral ordinances passed. and especially
last spring when Moore & Co. finally
brought test suit which is now pend
Ing in the supreme court. Since Judge
Mahoney's decision that the ordinances
were void the city has gone back to the
state law, but the city attorney advises
that only $50 be returned, claiming that
the state law contemplates tnat the
license fee of 500 shall be for the term
of one year, although no period for the
life of the license is stated in the law.

KICKS ON KiLVfNGTON.
One Of the Most Vigorous Come,
From Dr. Martha q RiD,ev

One OF the Most Vigorous Comes
From Dr.. Martha G. Ripley.
The protests against Kilvington's
new inspection" scheme are still COM
Ing In. One of the latest, and also one
of the strongest, comes from Dr.. Martha
q. Ripley. DR.. Ripley, in her charac-
teristic manner, speaks her mind fOrci-
bly,. She say that 'Quarantining dis
eased women will only partially pro-
tect men in sinning." She says Kill
vington's innovation amounts to prac-
tlcally further step in the licensing of
houses of prostitution.
DIR. George W. Emery has al 40 mad
his mad raised by Kilvington's PROPOSE
ton, and says, on this point: 1.-THE
board of health has decided that they
(the men) should be protected in life,
liberty and the purSuitof their tdevilish)
happiness at query cost, while these un
fortunate women should he bounded
heilward as unconcernedly rs possible.
For one citizen desire TO enter an earn
est protest against this action as I'M
just, unrighteous and nefarious, and
one which has ever proved failure
wherever attempted to be enforced"
He also wants to publicly debate the
question with Kilvington, or any men,
Der of the board of health, and believes
that he can adduce facts and figures to
prove his position.
Kifvington has nothing to say as to
Emery, but he has on DR.. Ripley. He
says that there is to be no discrimina-
ton between men. and women. He
proposes to treat all cases In
the same manner. No system
attic inspection will be attempted.
But whenever case of disease is re-
pOrted,as required by the health boards
new rule, that case must be quarantined
the same as any other infectious OF con-
tagious disease.
On another point Of DR.. Ripley's pro-
test. /. g.. that notifications Of the new
rule were not mailed to business men,
he says that the board will meet the
doctor halfway. If DIR. Ripley will
furnish list of men who should be
notified, he says he will see to the rest.
