HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

one OF the mOSC cruel uecepIlOus
ever practiced upon the unwary and
unsuspecting. The Post has been
in the habit of publishing lot of
second hand stuff which it passed of
for news. The Post is spicily ed
tied paper in which considerable
ability is displayed. Its editorials
are at all times breezy and refresh
ing, and there isn't paper in the
state whose editorial page is read
with more interest. But, as re-
marked, the Post has been in the
habit of publishing secondhand
matter habitually, and the worst
part of it is that it claims a copy
right on this stuff-that is, that it is
especial" to the Post. Among other
things, the Post occasionally pub
fishes synopsis of the opinions of
the supreme court. These reports
are invariably published at least a
day behind the Galveston News, I'M
der such heading as the following !:
"Hlgh court decisions; synopsis of
decisions delivered at Galveston by
the state courts of last resort during
the present sitting in that city, and
especially reported for the Houston
Daily Post" The News growing
tired of being daily denounced by a
paper which SO persistently drew on
its columns to furnish its subscribers
with reading matter, went deliber-
ately to work and set trap for the
Post. In reporting certain decis-
ion of the court the News inserted
in brackets as kind Of explanatory
foot-note short sentence in Vola-
puk, which the News passed off as
an old Norman French maxim, and
which read, "La etsy amt sopeht
shit" By a very peculiar coinci
dence the same volapuk sentence
was injected in the same synopsis
especially reported for the Houston
Daily Post" 1t was cruel enough
in the News to pass off volapuk on
its unsuspecting-not to cay un-
sophisticated neighbor-for Norman;
but the worst of it is that the News
discovers that the sentence beng
translated by being spelt backward,
reads. "This the Post may steal"
Our friend, the Post, must pardon
US for making mention of the way in
which it was led into the trap. 1t
was too good to keep. But while
the joke is on the Post, and while it
is the worst case of being victimized
on record, yet it is case of the pot
calling the kettle black. Printing a
lot of rot and slush and columns of
post-dated matter weeks old cab
baged from Northern metropolitan
exchanges, which is frequently Ia
beled as especial" and always palmed
off as fresh news, is a practice in
which the News is no SLOUGH itself.
1t is deception and fraud, and
newspapers which do it ought to
rank as not more honest than gro

An Effort Being Made to Get the Two
Foot Ball Teams Together.
New York, Nov. "A quiet movement
is on foot to bring the Harvard and Prince
ton foot ball teams together. When Har-
ward withdrew last year from further par
ticipation with Princeton in athletic events
it was supposed that such move was final.
But some the graduates have taken the
matter in hand, and they desire to heal the
breach between the two colleges.
The idea is to get the two foot ball teams
together by Nov, Is, somewhere in New
York. II that is done, the Harvard faculty
must pass resolution giving permission TO
us loot pail team to play outside Of New
England.
1t is q recognized fact that Haryards
eleven is about the best that ever repre-
sented that college and is in splendid con-
dluon, while, on the other hand, the Prince
ton eleven has not shown UP i'll any way as
strong as her rival. Still the Princetons
are DESTROYS Of having game with her old
time antagonist. It is not generally known
that Capt. Cunnock of Harvard and Capt.
Poe Of Princeton have had several confer
ences on this question, but it is fact new
ertheless Both think that previous actions
have been somewhat childllke; in fact, the
expression OF the leading followers OF the
two colleges is IL the dead bury the
dead, and let the past be forgotten"

base bail and football teams will he Tor

D. Clark was on the Lockout for the express.
The latter was on time and, as the head
light OF the engine came into view, it
flashed through Clark's mind that the
switch was open, and thai if it was not
closed the express would dash into
the coal train. No sooner did the
thought enter his brain than he dashed
out OF the door, rushed to the switch and
swung it over. Then he realized, but too
late his mistake. AS the switch was
