Bacon's Rival.

Two German clippings appear
among the items in a playwright
scrapbook. They are from a Wen
ma paper dated January, 1889, and
the first one, translated, says:
sWe strongly advise our readers
to see the amusing comedy, The
Merchant of Venice now being per-
formed at the Star theater. The
author, we believe, is Grillparzer."
The second clipping says:
sMr. Editor: Sir-Will You kind
~ state In an. early issue of your
valuable paper that The Merchant
of Venice was not written by Grill
parzer, but by me-William Shake
speare."
To this is appended an editorial
note:
Eve were wrong, it appears, in
attributing The Merchant Of Ven
ice' to Griliparzer, and we trust Mr..
Shakespeare win accept our apology
and correction"

IT need hardly be stated that all
Texans and more especially Texas
woman regret most sincerely the
deplorable dissension which has
marred the last two annual meet
fings of the Daughters of the Re-
spubIic. To the women of the state,
! both those constituting the mem
bership of that noble and well-ln-
.teutioned order, as well as those
outside, it must be peculiarly humil-
iating to witness such lack of
tact. and of ability, and of consid
Grafton as has been displayed by
large number OF the members of
the organization in their quarrel
over the management of the sacred
old Alamo. This charge has been
entrusted by the legislature to the
Daughters of the Republic, in the
belief that they, guided by true
understanding of the important
niche in Texas history that IS oc-
cupied by this Cradle OF Texas
liberty" and actuated by a genuine
love and reverence for the sacred
memories clustering about the old
mission, were thoroughly fitted for
the task of caring for it, and it is
to be regretted that they cannot do
so in harmony aud peace.

SANE OLD KNOcKER.

Nov that Gov. Campbell and
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Cousins have decided to pay a
personal visit to the Rio Grande
country to investigate the charges
made time and again that the pub
lie school fund allotted to that sec
ton was being misused we need
not be shocked if we should hear
of an exposure of grating the like
of which was never dreamed of.
There is much though in the
thought that within time the Rio
AGraude country and the Free
State of Refugio" will be annexed
to Texas.-Corpus Crony.
in reply to the above vicious
thrust at this section. THE HERALD
can only say that. if there be any
graft practiced in connection with
the school fund, in Brownsville or
Cameron county, the people are
unaware of it, and would be glad
gindeed to have the eagle eye of
Gov. Campbell and Superintendent
Cousins to ferret it out and expose
1t.
This knock from the Crony is in
line with its kind suggestion last
summer that probably the citizens
of Brownsville had rnasqueraded in
cast-off soldiers uniforms and out
ragged their own town. The Crony
has such good nose for seeming
the possible sins of the lower Rio
Grande country, it might be well
for Gov. Campbell to bring a rep
resentative of that paper along on
his nosing expedition.

HOW IT WILL BE DONE

Some doubt has been expressed
upon the part of thinking men, par
ticularly thinking republicans, as
to whether or not Senator Foraker
will be able to handle the next
legislature and secure his election,
even though Mr.. Donithen be elect
ed and the legislature have a re-
publican majority. These inquir-
fers are all right in their logic
'but they do not go far enough.
They do not look far enough into
THE future or consider what has
happened and what will happen.
They seem to feel secure in the
Thought that not all of the re-
publican members of the legislature
.are Foraker men. They know
isome of them are Taft men. or in
,other words are administration
!men and they feel inclined to place
security in this fact and 1t is a
Tact.
- But. let us take "a glance over
the situation. Let us see what has
been accomplished by the Foraker
