NOTE AND COMMENT.

Tho Post has lost it's reason altogether. 1t
tever had much in regard TO any galveston
nrcrosition. and now its loyalty to the Bumaio
Ip1ou project has nlade IT ridiculous. ms
soft OF petty jealousy will hurt Houston moro
i.,an Galveston. but this statement shouia not
lass without au answer.--dhlVeston irlpuhe'
No. you are mistaken. The Post is simply
dIsFusted with tho double dealing which has
come to light recently.

The legislatures OF Texas have passed laws
for pharmacists doctors and most every class

received no consideration on the iipel law.
mot fnr n s0 inquirer
While there ara hundreds OF thousands of
dollars invested in the newspaper business in
Texas strange To say 1t is the only great In
dustry that does not receive some reoogni-
ton or consideration in the way of statutory
enactment,
The New Orleans correspondent OF the CAL
vettou News has discovered distinguished
foreigner who believes that the entire COM
merc' of Texas should pay tribute to the Gal
weston Wharf company The News gives Mt
tcisncea OF the gentleman conspicuous ,ss display
satisfaction by stockholders of the aforesaid
wharf company. Port Arthur, Sabine Pass
nna other Texas ports Will, however, continue
TO do business at the same old stands.-Beau-
mont Journal
The people OF Texas know what the Calves
ton monopoly Is; they have felt Its sting. And
the siren songs" that are being sung now
Will not have the general effects anticipated.

There is no parallel In the two. The Federal
document is National in its scope and general
in application; the State constitution s do
nestle in character and designed on an GU
tirely different basis
