stated, s'left precisely as if this procla-
nation were not issued.n Those who
had been slaves were slaves still.
Such is brief chapter of history.
The colored people who give them
selves up to rejoicing to-day may con-
sistently do so, for freedom is a boon
the acquiring of which is worthy OF
being celebrated: but let not the devil
have more than his due. 1t was not
for love of the negro, or to carry out
the abstract principle of liberty, that
slavery was destroyed. 1t was to
weaken and embarrass the enemy in
the field. This shonld be kept in mind

words of grateful acknowledgement Of
the Unreasonable debt the colored race

tention: if he has not given satisfaction
he should not be retained. This con-
test is a peculiar one; the applicants
are Professor Hogg, who was displaced
by Professor White, and Professor
White, who was displaced by Pro-
fessor Carlisle, and Professor Car
Isle, who. asks second term. OBJ
viously it would appear that if Hogg
gave satisfaction he should not have
been displaced by White, and if White
gave satisfaction he should not have
been displaced by Carlisle, and if Car
Isle has given satisfaction he should
not be displaced by either of the two
men formerly displaced. Conceded
that merit and the interest of the
schools have governed heretofore,
would it not look queer to reverse past
actions9 If the board goes back on it
self, SO to speak, would it be strange if
people criticised the past action as po-
litical-or the present action? Either
Hogg should not have been put out, or
he should be kept out: either White
should not have been put out, or he
should be kept out; if Carlisle should
not have been put in he should not be
kept in. And if Carlisle should not be
kept in should those be put in who
have been put out?
Has the board no choice but one of
evils? If neither Hogg nor White nor
Carlisle gave satisfaction-what then?

sUPERFLUous GRATITUDE,

Our colored citizens will celebrate
this day with rejoicing because of their
emancipation from slavery. The eman-
cipation proclamation of President Lin
coin was dated January /, 1863. The
act of congress in pursuance of which
it was issued was passed on the 9th Of
June, 1852. The selecting OF the 10Th
as the day to celebrate is therefore as
inappropriate as the celebration by US
of the 4th of July, when the Declara-
ton of Independence was agreed upon
in congress on the ID of that month.
But, nevertheless, this is the Day of
Jubilee with them, and probably it al
ways will continue to be so. Great
crowds of them will congregate, and
speeches will be made congratulating
themselves that they are now living in
freedom, extolling Abraham Lincoln
as their iberator, and proclaiming
their undying gratitude to the Repub-
licau party that abolished slavery.
II the participants in to-day's festivi-
ties knew more of the history of eman-
cipation, their gratitude would proba-
bly, be in some degree curbed. The
Republican congress and President
Lincoln have not put them under such
a load OF debt that it can never be re-
paid. Emancipation was not for the
purpose of freeing the slaves, but
to embarrass the Confederacy. 1t
was an incident of the military situa-
ton. There were few Abolitionists
in congress at that time-Sumner, and
Stevens, and Wade, and some others of
lesser note whom one might count on
the fingers of the hand-who urged
emancipation for the sake of freeing
the slaves, but the great majority of
the Republican congress took up that
measure as military necessity, land
President Lincoln was at pains to say
as much in his proclamation. by
virtue of the power vested in me,", so
it read, 'iand as fit and necessary war
measure for suppressing said rebel
lion," the slaves in those states or parts
of states actually in rebellion against
the United States are freed. Note the
language. Only these states and parts
of states as were at that time in actual
rebellion were affected. In other states
where slavery prevailed, and in GER
tain parts of the states in rebellion, the
emancipation proclamation had no eff

st. Patrick's Church.

1t was decided when Bishop Brennan
was in the city that it would be advisable
to borrow sum of money large enough to
so far advance building operations on the
grand ediice as to malleit its early occupancy
possible. The Catholics in this city have
acted on the matter and have proposition
to loan S25, 900 TO the church at Z per cent
interest. The matter will be laid before
Bishop Brennan, and if he approves it the
loan win be made and the work pushed.
The plans which are being followed in the
construction of the church contemplate an
editice TO cost over S100, 900 and a consider
able portion of this amount has already
been expended. The members OF the
church here take the ground that practical
charity gives work TO people when they
need it, and for this reason they wish to
give all the labor they can to skilled me-
chanics during the dull summer months. 1t
is hoped to hold Christmas services in the
new church

MCKINLEY has been nominated for
governor OF Ohio by the Republicans.
He made speech. Adversely has
taught him nothing. He still has a
fathers fondness for his little Bill, and
he is going to stand by it. if it did
wreck the party. That is the kind OF a
man we admire. Beeizebub, over
thrown and cast into hell, would never
acknowledge that he had done wrong,
and kept up the fight, even when he
could do nothing but plot. Who doesn't
like pluck of that kind? Mckinley has,
at least, the virtue of Beelzebub. and
that is more OF a compliment than most

LET THE TRUTH STAND.

The charge made some time ago that
t. the Galveston News was under contract
with the Texas railroads to advocate
their cause is receiving some ventila-
ton before the International investi-
eating committee.
In THE GAZETTE'S report of the in
vestigation yesterday Col. Lowe OF the
News is reported as testifying that the
News never had any advertising con-
tracts with Mr.. Waldo, or with the
Texas pool, and that he knew of no
annual tax of $4,000 on the roads to
be paid to the News. Col. Lowe also
testified that the News had contracted
for advertising with the roads separ-
ately, Independent Of the traffic associ-
alton.
Receiver Bonner testified on cross
examination that.
HE wrote to Belo & Co in good faith,
and was acting in good faith when he asked
Duncan to file exceptions to the masters
report. After the return of Eddy, and when
he told Eddy about the matter and the lat
ter opposed an investigation, the exceptions
were withdrawn. There was an agreement
between the traffic association and the Gal
weston News by which the railways OF the
state were TO pay the paper under the head
of advertisement Sl2, ZOO per annum, but the
main purpose of the contract was to secure
the influence of the News in shaping legis-
ton favorable to the railways
The demand OF the News and of the
press and Of the railroads and people
should be for thorough investigation
of this charge. AT its close no sus-
picion of ''whitewash" should remain
to bear out the too frequent charge OF
corruption against the press. The
News has an opportunity 10 do its guild
an inestimable service by challenging
the fullest investigation. Mr.. Bonner
is reported as testifying, TO a sale OF
influence Col. Lowe testifies TO a
contract for Legitimate advertising
made-not with any man or associ-
alton but-with the roads independ-
entity. Let all the roads be summoned
Let Mr.. Waldo be called. IF printed
assessments on thefroads were issued,
let copies be produced. Let Col. loves
testimony stand as the honor of the
press; or let Col. Bonner's testimony
stand as the humiliation of the press.
Let the truth be made clear for the
sake of the press.

THEREupoN Col. r. G. Lowe, vice-presi-
dent of 4. II. Belo & Co., was put on the

with no other consideration expressed or
implied. His complete testimony viii APP

The fame of Texas and her bountiful

the numerous letters received by agents
here, asking about Fort Worth property

Of visitors and probable investors TO take

York, Missouri and Tennessee, but there
are scattering letters from many of the
other states. Real estate agents reasonably
look for good trading and think by Septem-
Der the market will show decided revival.

Investing Here.

A very heavy sale has recently been made
of Arlington Heights property to an East
ern syndicate. Capitalists of Massachusetts
and Connecticut have bought twenty
blocks, not for speculation, but to improve
it BY building a good class of houses which
will be sold on easy payments. Some of
this work is already under way and will be
continued right along. Mr.. H. W. Tallant
of the Chamberlin investment company
said yesterday that every dollar of the
money that would be expended would come
from the outside. The syndicate has formed
an improvement company to carry on its
operations
