DISCOURSING in sober mood over
the location of the democratic state
convention, the Galveston Evening
Tribune says:
Fort Worth is working hard to &C.
cure the next democratic State con-
vention. Among many of the in.
ducements offered is the tempting
bait thrown out by the Journal Of
that city: we have the purest of
water and the best of other fluids
San Antonio will have to invent q
plea more enticing than this or she
will get left.
San Antonio will turn loose the
amber streams from the largest and
best breweries III the state; will trOt
out the best brass band in the Lone
Star; will open wide the doors of the
finest pavilion in Texas, situated in
the most beautiful park in the South;
will welcome the convention with
open arms to the most hOspitabIe
city in the world; will corral amuse-
ments and bottle up the police during
convention; will unchain the tiger
and put him through the motions if
desired; Will present the freedom O
the city three times every hour in "a
cup of ice cold lager, and put demi-
john under each delegates seat; will
give better hotel accommodation and
show more to interest than any town
: between the Nation and the Rio
Grande; and, show the bachelor
members more beautiful ladies than
they ever dreamed of since they
dOnned long pants.

THAT DANA hand has not forgotten
it's cunning in showing anti-Cleveland
quill lsvery evident from the reply re-
Gently made TO ali enquirer from Kan
sas into the reasons OF the SUMS hos
tility to the first democratic president
since 1856. Dana is in his element in
making his rejOinder in which he
diagnoses the anti-democratic symp
toms Of Mr. Cleveland, and prOnoun-
ces him undemOcratic in spirit, in his
conceptions Of democratic principles,
in his administration Of government
aud in his selfish disregard of all that
makes for anything outside of his own
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Dana en-
larges his reply TO include eight
charges, the last of which is here re-
produced:

could lead anything but the schemes
OF his own ignorant, narrowed and

A BRUTAL POLICY DEALER
He Caryes Up Two Men who Tried
TO Prevent His Beating His
Wife and Child.

August Kochler, a butcher Of Pine and
Maple streets. heard great outcry last
evening coming from Maple street near
his place Of business. In company with
John KaehIers his tIfteen-year-old brother,
and William zindie, he ran to the spot
from which the cry proceeded.
Then the three men saw Charles F0rs-
ter, who is better known as "Stove''
Forster, and is said to be policy dealer,
beating his son, q mere boy They called
upon Forster to desist from his cruelty.
He complied with their request, and
leaving them began to beat his wife, who
was standing by begging him to let the
child alone.
This was more than the KoehIers could
stand and they undertook to put an end
70 ForsteF's brutality. A fight ensued,
during which Forster bit August Kochler
on the hand severely, and as john Koch
Ter was trying to get out OF his way Fos-
ter cut his ear in two with some sharp In.
strament and inflicted q large wound two
inches in length on his head
He also cut William Zindle on the arm
and nearly severed his thumb from the
hand Foster was placed under arrest
and taken to- the Bergen Hall Station.
Young Kochier was very weak at half
past eleven o'clock last night and his re-
coYery was considered doubtful.

JOE WARREN'S CIGARS.

They Were Presented to Him by Mfr.
Frazer and they Raised Storm
When Ex-Finauce Commissioners Fra
ger and Warren were colleagues in the
Board they were warm friends, and when
Mr. Warren sailed for Europe recently
Mr. Frazer presented him with box Of
fragrant cigars as slight token of his
regard and esteem.
The vessel had hardly passed the Mar
rows when joe tried one of the cigars
ana found them to be Of most delicious
fragrance. He induced ex-Treasurer Nj
gent, who was a fellow-passenger to try
one of the Havanas with the result that
Mr.. Nugent became enthusiastic In his
praise of their fragrance.
One morning while several of the pas
sengers were in the smoking room dis
canning upon the merits of their favorite
brands, Mr.. Warren declared that he
had the finest brand of cigars on the
ship" OF course this declaration was
received with incredulous looks, and Mr.
Nugent, anxious to prove his assertion,
produced Mr.. Frazer's present and
passed them around. The passengers
took the cigars and lighting them laid
back in their chairs to indulge in 1.-THE

They took several wl.iffs. and looks of
approval began to steal over their faces,
when suddenly there were NUMBER OF
sharp reports following each other in
rapid succession The smokers started
back, and hastily flinging the best cigars
on the ship to the floor. stamped upon
them with vigor.
None of the smokers were more aston
ished than Mr.. Warren, and he was pro-
fuse in his explanations. His excuses,
however, were useless. The passengers
looked upon him as the perpetrator of a
heartless cruel joke, and for the re-
mainder of the voyage he was social
