The Galveston Tribune ia disposed to apol-
oE'ze for Senator Hoar's Inconsistency in
denouncing republican policies and al the
same time supporting the authors OF such
policies. The Post can appreciate an honest
rarty consistency and even admire the brass
collar man who wears his collar willingly
and because he sees detriment to the coun .
try or thinks he sees H. in other principles
than those Of his own party faith. But Mr..
lioar stands on no such ground He pro-
fessed from the viewpoint Of Hottest patr-
otlsm to see tho Republic going straight to
imperialism through his partv's polic es. and
vet is ready TO 70 with It rather than SCI
the establishment 81 an administrative
financial policy which ne does not himself
claim would destroy republican institutions.
He is a brass collar. as The Post said with
out Il man In tia PARTY man without faith
in his party and. with due respect 10 the
Tribune's acute reasoning and condescend-
ing references to The Posts broader" view,
lately" Of party questions, ia lacking in
that very element Of virtue Of party con
sistency' which lenders the ordinary brass
collar man loyal and respectaoe-an honest
though may he. blind faith In the REQ
titude OF his party and the sanitary effect oil
it's principles and administration. We feat
that the Tribune is only too ready to ex.
cuse any republican Inconsistency that JUS
tines itself through an apprehension OF bi.
methllism.

covered with tiSsu" paper. The stems
are manufactured of wire covered with

good. especially in the case OF oranges.
which are copied with singular acru-
rncy. The cost Of the raw materials is
tritlinE no, more than three or four
cents for Il small orange branch with
liv" or six fruits. These sell easily for
sums ranging from H. to - cents. and
ar" eagerly purchased by the middle
classes and even the working people

by the women and the girls. while

cOntented themselves by kicking a

another. The play became so rough
