A Unjust BUI.
We have received a circular
giving an extract from the new
postal bill now before congress
in which is a provision that no
newspapers shall be delivered
at letter-carrier offices or dis-
tributed by carriers unless pos-
tage is paid thereon at the rate
of one cent for each two ounces
or fraction thereof. There are
nearly one hundred letter-car
rier offices in the United States.
The injustice of this law is at
once apparent; it applies not
only to newspapers published
in cities where there are letter-
carriers but it affects every
newspaper published in the
United States There is hard-
ly a paper published in the coun-
try but what sends more or less
papers to the cities. Should
the bill become a law it will
require every paper to pay the
present rate of postage on tran
sient newspapers yhen sent to
subscribers or advertisers in
cities where the free 'delivery
system is in force. Instead of
bciriga free delivery asatpres-
ent the result will" be that it
is a very expensive luxury. The
bill is a very unjust one; not
only to publishers but to the
pub'lic at large. The rate of
postage would be almost pro-
hibatory. The press of the
jentire country should protest
against the passage of this very
Unjust bill. .-

The sleeping citizens of Bren-

the thundering peals of artillery

the various roads leading to the
city were crowded with people
in carriages buggies wagons
and on horseback all coming
to towubent on pleasure and
recreation. A little later all the
principlal streets were literally
thronged with an eager and
expectant multitude. The cause

TURNERS.
A gold medal was awarded

by the president who stated
that Mr. A. was not only the
best he had ever seen in the
State but the best ever seen out
it. A prize of a medal was giv-

ham Greys as the best shot

About one o'clock Col. P. H.
Swearingen being loudly called
for was introduced by Capt R-
Schmerbeck and made an ele-
gant speech complimenting the
the Volksfest association in the
highest terms. At the conclus-
ion of the address the colonel
was highly complimented by
many of the audience. About
three o'clock it commenced
raining and continued until 9
o'clock at night when the rain
cloud passed over. The dan-
cing pavilion was placed in or-
der and by .10 o'clock a large
crowd of ladies and gentlemen
had assembled and dancing was
begun lasting until 5 o'clock
next morning.
The display of fire works was
really splendid and added much
to the festivities and plepsures
of the evening.
Nothwithstanding the fact
that the rain in the evening de-
terred many from attending the
second evening the Volkfcst
was an entire success in the
strictest sense of the word.

: --.. ..i: r. It behoovcj
the Democratic party to look well
selection of candidates for the 72Sfl!
State offices who shall be fully j:f'tor-
Jcfierionian standard. "Jj-ife honest is he
capable!" .
At a time like this v.lien the Democracy
constitutcan oerwhelraing majority of the
voting population of our State there is cer-
tainly no occasion for casting about for
candidates whose chief if not their only re-
commendation shall be their supposed
political influence their ability to attract
to the support of the general ticket careless
or indifferent voters or the disaffected fac-
tions of opposition elements.
In the light of the past three ) ears' ex-
perience we arcjustiftcd in directing espe-
cial attention to the General Land Office.
The chief of that department should be a
man of superior intelligence and adminis-
trative ability famihar with our peculiar
land system; and the laws in relation to
land claims of every character; such a
knowledge in fact as could be acquired by
a personal acquaintance with the origin
and history of our State and its institutions;
and in addition to these qualifications he
should bear a character above reproach;
of invincible pluck and determination in
the discharge of officailduty; doing right
at all hazards; the tool of -no clique or
party; but an honest fearless and incor
ruptible public servant bucha man we
take to be Capt. Martin M. Kenney of
Austin county ;. modest and retiring in dis-
position he has not sought preferent; quiet
and unassuming in manners he has attrac-
ted no public notice; concealing beneath
a plain exterior all the noble sentiments and
excellent qualities of a chivalrous gentle-
man. Capt. Kenney stands tcwlay the
peer of any pnblic man in the State of
Texas for sterling worth superior moral
and intellectual attainments and above all
for that St'AVITER IN- MODE ; FORTITUR IV
RE that should be characteristic of every
Tpublic officer.
Although Capt Kenney is entirely ig-
norant of any mention being made- of his
name in this connection we ue confident
that if the nomination were tendered him.
if wotild be greatfuliy accepted; and if
elected the State of Texas would do herself
credit by the selection of an officer eminent-
ly qualified to serve her public interest and
at the same time pay a just tribute to one of
the worthiest of her noble sons.

The San Francisco pub-
lishes a biographical sketch of
Mr. O'Brien the dead million-
aire. He was born In Ireland
in iS26;came to America atvan
early age and went to Califor-
nia in 1849. Nothing of note
marked his early career in the
the new El Dorado. In 1S56
the firm of Flood & O'Brien
liquor dealers was established;
a saloon was opened which in
after years became the favorite
resort for mining men and stock
dealers. Here the firm commen-
ced speculating in stock in a
modest way. In 1868 the sa-
loon was sold out and the firm
engaged only in the mining
buisness. In this as is well
known they were very success-
ful. Mr. O'Brien left a fortune
of fifteen or twenty millions.
He was a quiet unassuming man
who was highly respected by
his friends.

may be inferred that Judge Ire-

a count of noses is made there
is found to be a sufficient num-
ber to justify bringing forward
his name.
