4 CONTEMPTIBLE INSECT.


Izaked IN his dictionary before taking
tfx BEE man TO task for saying the
RzGhs in Beeville last month were
s-efset" By an equal number of deaths.
f1Tset" is the proper word, according
tn Webster. the HERALD'S b. m. to the
ezntrary, etc.-Beeville Bee.
Zhe time was when the editorial
writer on THE HERALD would have
txken that little egotistical insect
Ey SIS Insignificant singer and with
eRe twist of the finger and thumb
pgt it out Of business. But he is
mere charitable in his sentiments
R8z and he is 10th to inflict pun
Izament on even the contemplate
gadfy that imagines itself a bee
and despoils the flowers of the
garden of the human mind by its
offensive deposits, instead of taking
Ftseif to the swamps and breeding on
creatures of lis element and kind.
e hen he first read the foregoing ex-
EgSct from the Bee THE HERALD
esfitor threw the paper into the
waste baket and marked the Bee
fran our exchange list, as paper
eyzfted by an egotiSt too contemplate
tS tie noticed by a selfrespecting
utIu. However, as other persons
Isaee also get the Bee and reminded
tiBs writer that the Bee had made a
r5zous sting on The HERALD, we
have concluded to give it what it
esTidently wants, viz, some free ad-
vcrtising.
It is not necessary to republish
TaE HERALD's criticism of the Bees
Use of the word offset" but we will
qaote Webster, which book, how
e7er, We had not previously con-
szlted. Our Webster says: "Offset.
To sit one account against an
ai5llor; to make the account of one
party pay the demand of another
IL accounts; a sum, account or
vx1oe set off against another sum or
as an equivalent" This is
xauple authority for our criticism,
Hod we repeat that the Bee misued
trle word when it said: "The vital
statistics for the month show that
Ee5rths were exactly offset by deaths"
Ego, the demand upon Beeville by
fSrths is fully met in the equivalent
81 deaths. Now if the Bee had
s-ansposed the words birth and
Death there would have been no
Eaom for criticism.
We do not believe there is an
NTaer person in Beeville so heart
hess, so dwarfed in soul, so niggard-
Is IN spirit as to exult with the
Bee in the thought that the birth
az child is offset, is balanced in
s3oount with the city's population,
kv the death of another. Beeville
EaQst be poverty-stricken, or its
citizens are so undesirable in nature
and social standing that the fact of
S>sl birth of one is something that
G1a be set off, can be balanced only
kv the death of another. Horrors
THIS is fendish! THE HERALD
wouldn't speak so disrespectfully
M dogs.
Now as to being the hired man
az THE HERALD" we will say shat
McCurdy, of the BeeviIle Bee, made
asa proposition before we came to
TaE HERALD, bat it was not ac-
ospted. And it IS fortunate that it
vas not. There was never a more
agreeable person than "the hired
ut1u Of THE Herald" but he IS
gentleman of reputable family con-
ueetion and had he gone to the Bee
and McCurdy had attempted to
Ierd itsever him in pompous man.
mex. as we now Judge he would,
there would have been serious

evidence of rather heavy realizing in
one or two stocks, which have been the
subjects of recent speculative buying,
and this added to the general tone of
depression. The character of the liqui-
dation and the violent decline nj Metro
politan Street railway and in Metro
politan Securities were causes of I'M
easiness and were accompanied by sem
sational rumors. The extreme break
III Metropolitan Street Railway which
resulted was is and in the Securities
company points. There were sharp
rallies in both stocks late in the day,
going over that short selling by bears
had been conspicuous element in the
decline. But the depressing effect of
the incident on the general market was
undeniable. The active profit taking
i'll Amalgamated Copper also left the
market without sustaining force The
sharp reaction in the price for the
metal in London and reports of large
decline in copper exports of this coun-
try for February wer the only news
development to account for the action
of the stock. Missouri Pacific in the
railroad list was notably weak and it's
action suggested a tightening of the
load carried by the pool in the stock
London was a seller here but not to
an important extent. The maintenance
of the Bank of England rate and the
stringency of money in London have a
depressing effect there. Sterling eX-
change continued to advance to-day
and was not offset by a corresponding
rise at Paris, thus narrowing the mar
gin from the gold export point. 1t is
not expected, however, that gold will
go out before Thursday Of next week
at the earliest, owing to transport con-
sderations The progress being made

| ing for remittances to pay the pur-
chase price for the canal. A light ex-

supply of exchange. The active bull
campaign in cotton is watched with in
terest in the financial district owing
| not only to the additional requirement

of the high price of the article upon the

CITY COURT ITEMS.

CII I COURI lIEMS.
The city court lasted but ten min
utes yesterday.
Patrick Boyle, charged with breach
of the peace against Margaret Boyle,
his wife, was sent to Jail for thirty
days.
The case of Joseph M. Robinson of
Ward street, charged with theft, was
nolled.
All other cases went over.
These included the theft cases of Sol
ONION Botwick, Raffuele Marotolli and
Grove Robbie. For some time valuable
dies have been disappearing from the
New Haven clock factory. In all, dies
valued at $3.50 were missed. The case
was put in the hands of the police and
all but one were finally recovered
from junk shops where Robbie, it is
charged. sold them for song. The
Junk dealers are out on $500 bonds, but
Robbie is in Jail.
The last case was that of Samuel
Warsharfsky of 300 Cedar street, also
charged with theft. Sammy is boy of
fourteen years and has made a short
but bad record.
