TIE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

The constantly growing circulation of
the Weekly GAZETTE is evidence that the
effort 10 furnish first class paper de-
voted TO the interests of the people is be-
ing appreciated.
The Weekly GAZETTE is a twelve-page
paper, containing summary of the news
of the world for each week, and is flied
with choice literature and miscellaneous
reading matter, which must prove in
structive and entertaining to the young
as well as to the old.
The Agricultural Department, edited
by Professor Stelle, recently introduced,
commends the Weekly GAZETTE to all
Texas farmers and contains matter each
issue more than worth the price of the
paper.
As an advertising medium the Weekly
GAZETTE is incomparably superior to any
published in the Southwest, and offers
unequalled facilities 10 all who wish to
reach the people of Texas.

Galveston talked deep water for q
quarter of q century until Fort Worth
took hold of the matter, called a deep
water convention and set in motion ball
that has rolled through Denver, Topeka
and all the Union. This deep water
movement has brought men and money
to Texas and given an impetus to the en-
tire state.
And it all started in the Fort Worth
deep water convention.

table shows that for the eight months
ending August 81, 1890, Fort Worth
leads all the cities of the Union except
Tacoma alone in rate of increase over the
bank clearings for the corresponding
period of 1889. Only three Texas cities
find place in the report, viz: Fort
Worth, Dallas and Galveston. The rate
of increase for each of these Texas cities

Mr.. BLAINE's letter to Minister Miner
announcing his recall has created some
surprise. On this coast the general opin-
ion was that the Minister had defensible
case. At Washington precisely the con-
trary opinion appears to have been enter
tanned, and there now remains but little. if
any, doubt of the soundness of the position
taken by the Administration. There is
one great good growing out of this and
similar questions by reason of their public
discussion, and that is the broadening of
the intelligence of the people upon such
matters. 1t is evident that the heightened
debate of such affairs as that of Barrundia
and Samoa have had the effect of greatly
informing the citizens of the United States
upon international law, the relations of
nations to each other and the rights Of
citizens and American interests abroad.

STANLEY agrees that the Congo country
cannot be settled by whites, because in
three years in that climate the white man
expends ten years of vitality, while white
women cannot live there at all and re-
tain health. He believes, therefore, that
emigration Of southern negroes to the
Congo section is desirable To them the
climate offers no special objection. Land
can be had for the asking, and even the
slightest cultivation results in wonderful
production. With negroes populating the
Congo Free State, he believes its great re-
sources would be rapidly developed and it
would soon take its place as a nation. In
this connection he raps American mer-
chants sharply over the knuckles for fail
ure to take advantage of the splendid OPP
portunities the Congo region offers for
large and enormously profitable trade
Mr.. SANKEY'S opinions on these subjects
are entitled to great respect. No man,
probably, better understands the subject.
and he is known to be slow to Judgment
and cautious in expression. His advice,
therefore, is not that Of the enthusiast, or
the result of nervous anxiety to see the
Congo State settled.

A. c. WALKER, in his recent paper on
Boucicault, has written the best criticism
of the dramatist that has been penned.
The sum of it is, that Boucicault had the
genius, as London Assurance" proves, to
write dramas, especially comedies of high
merit, addressed to the best thought; but
he saw that the age does not demand and
will not maintain play-houses that present
that class of work. He therefore at once
dropped the role Of dramatist and took up
that of the caterer and later of the show
man. Others were the creators of novel
situations, of characters, of plots. Bouci.
eault was the man, of all others, to put
ITEM upon the stage. He was not the
architect-he was the carpenter. But he
was master workman.

The violent and apparently permanent
division of the Irish Parliamentary party
emphasizes the folly in any political
scheme, of adhesion to men as leaders
rather than to principals. So long as any
considerable number of the party refuse
to follow ParnelPs leadership, it is the
part of wisdom to change leaders. A
divided party, while the division is upon
merely personal issues, is incapable of sc-
complishing anything effective.
