■ Commenting u pi i^Evening Tribune’s
criticism <4 Mr. Z. L. Wuhe's article on
Western Journalism in Harper’s Mohthly,
the San Antonio Express says: “When
Mr White says the Galveston News is the
only Texas daily known outside the
state, he commits an error. If he bad
said ,that it is most widely known, he
would not have been far wrong. The
rea-on for this is not very far to seek.
The News is a very good paper, and is
as good now as ever. It has been in ex-
istence for forty years, and at one time
was in the plenitude of its strength and
power when other Texan dailies were
struggling for existence. The reputation
gained then clings to it still. It is not at
all difficult even for a young man, to re
member the period when the News was
the journalistic Panjandrum of the state
Other morning papers have gradually
worked their way forward, with a couse
quent decrease in ibe patronage and pow
ers of the News. The paper now represents
simply its own section instead of Texas
as was once its proud privilege. Thi.-> s
ibe inevitable. If Mr. White visits Texa-
five years hence he will find several dailies
worthy the attenion of any vriter, even
though he does get $10 a pige for a mis
representative article in a leading maga-
zine. The value of Mr. White’s article
may be judged from the binders so clearly
pointed out by the Tribune. He has not
given a lucid description of “Western
Journalism,” but he has indisputably
established the fact that he knows noth-
ing about it.
The Emerson Upright Pianos
Have attained such a high degree of
perfection as to astonish the musical
critics of the land. The individual
praise of comp tent musicians, coupled
with the high enconiums of the musical
papers places these p anos at the head of
Ml rivals. Come and see them in plain,
burl-walnut, mahogany and ebomzed
cases. qThos Goggan & Bro ,

QUARANTINE MATTERS
State health officer, Dr. R. Rutherford,
says that during the last ten days he has
visited the entire border of the state,
and that Texas has at the present time
the best organized and most complete
quarantine defi nse that was ever known
during any previous year. He further
states that it has bi*en the hardest year to
hold and prevent refugees from entering
the state. From Sabine station there
have been 178 persons turned back who
ca'me from infected districts. He feels
much indebted to officers and citizens of
cities on the border line, in their aid and
co-operation in enforcing the quarantine
laws. Io speaking of Mr. S. M. Brooks,
of the firm of Brooks & Com er, of Paris,
Texas, be stated that Mr. Brooks, with
his wife and a young lady had come from
Huntsville, Ala , stopped in Decatur, got
off the train in Arkansas, hired a convey
ance and drove to Boston, twenty miles
south of Texarkana, and went from there
to Paris. They were apprehended on
September 28, and were landed at the
quarantine station on the 29th, where
they are at present.

T D. Wharton, editor of the Sporting
South, of New Orleans, is trying to ar-
range a meeting of representatives of
leading Southe-.-n cities in New Orleans,
October 22, to form a Southern Base
Ball League for 1889. He says: “With
a better understanding of the require-
ments of the game in this section than
ever before and with the chance of the
dawning of a brighter era through the
reforms to be adopted by the convention
of minor leagues to be held in this city,
the outlook is encouraging for the estab-
lishment of a Southern League for the
season of ’89.”
It can be set down for certain that the
Texas cities got enough high priced base
ball during the season just past to last
them for several seasons to come. Texas
loves base ball — she dotes on it, but her
cities have not yet reached that point
where they can afford to pay exhorbitant
salaries for second-rate players. It re-
quires no more skill or time to become
an expert baseballist than an expert car
penter. and just why Texas should put
up from $100 to $250 a month for indif-
ferent ballplayers, when she can get
good carpenters for $70, is one of those
things which she is as yet unable to com-
prehend. Let the proposed meeting be
called and s eps taken to organize a
Southern league, as Mr. Wharton pro-
penes, but let us cut our coat according
to our cloth and not enter into competi
tion for high priced players with cities
who count their population with seven
figures Good ball players can be had
from $75 to $100 a month. It is
enough, and if the ball playing which
Texas paid to see during the past season
be a criterion it is vastly too much. Let
us have base ball, well managed, moder-
ately salaried clubs that will keep sober
and attend to their knitting.

JUVINILE CH CKFN THIEVES.
Con Driscoll 1ms been on the trail of a
party of young chi ken thieves for some
days past and to-day rounded up two of
the gang-, Ernest Radford and Monk
Wicks, two colored kids, and is hot on
rhe trail of one or two more. These
youngsters have been engaged in the oc-
cupation of relieving henhouses of their
feathered tenants and selling their plun-
der to not overly particular small grocers
for sometime past, and many good people
mourn the loss of favorite biddies Con
will also look pretiy sharply after the
grocer who has purchased the chickens
of these enterprising juveniles.
One of these pieces’ of property is the lot
and building on the northwest corner of
Strand and Twenty-first street, which,
the petition alleges, is worth at least
$15,000, and that Mr Wheeler is offer nt
it for sale at $12,000. The other piop
erty is on Mechanic street, between Tenth
and Eleventh, which is estimate i to be
worth $1200, and some other real esta e
down the island has its value fixed at
$1500. The case is on trial before Judge
Stewart to-day.
DAMAGE CASES.

The petition alleges that there are tnree
pieces of property belonging to the estate

at a price considerably less than this sum. ‘

UNFINISHED BUSINESS. (
Under the head of unfinished business ‘
the ordinance laid over from last meeting,
providing that no private meat markets ,
shall be allowed within a radius of seven ;
blocks of the new markets, was taken up
and passed.
The resolution submitted at the last
meeting, fixing the rate of stall rents in
the new market, was also called up. This
resolution provides that stalls in the First
ware market shall be rented at not less
than $50 ■ ach per year
In the city hall market-house all stalls
are to be used as butcher or bread stalls,.
and shall be rented at not less than $200
each per year.
In the Third ward fish and vegetable
market all stalls used for the sale of fi h
shall be rented at not le s than $200 each
per year. All stalls used for the sale of
poultry, vegetables and game shall be
rented at no les than $200 each per year.
A resolution wasalsu submitted pro-
viding these stalls should be sold
by the collector on Monday, October 15
On notion fiction on th°.t portion of
the resolution fixing the price of stalls in
the vegetable and fish market was de
ferred. lhe other portion of the resolu-
tion applying to the m<atan> bread mar
ket was adopted.
NEW BUSINESS.
Aiderman Fordtran desired to call the
attention of the council to the fact that
the contracts with the Gas and Electric
Light companies for lighting the city
would expire next April and May. As
these two ci.mpanies were now consolid-
ated, the city wou'd be completely at
their mercy in renewing the contract it
the matter was not taken up in time to
pHimit of the establishment here of some
competition.
Aiderman McDonald thought that the
city should adviriise fur bids at once for
lighting the city for a peri- d of from one
to 'h e<' years, so as to give time for the
placing here of a plan: by which the con-
tract could be complied with.
Aiderman UHmann thought the time
should be from one to five years.
Aiderman Reyrmrshoffer sdd that the
city could provide her own light as cheap
as anyone else could provi ie them for
her, by running an electric light station
at the water works station. Service at
the station was the greatest cost attached
to such an enterprise after the original
co t of the plant, and in this he city
would have the advantage of hsving one
force to run both the water a d light sia-
t on. He ’bought by this means the city
could save from one half to three qu»r-
teis of the present cost of light and have
a better service. He knew of light com
pmies that were furnishing lights at 47|
cents each per night and making 50 per
cent, profit on the contrac .
Auditor Selkirk, on be'ng applied to
for information, s idhe had made some
investigation of the subject, the result of
which being that the city could put in a
plant and run it for a vear at the cost of
the present contract, and get three times
as much light as she is now getting.
After some further discussion on mo-
tion the mayor appointed the following
committee to make an investigation i f
the subject: Aidermen Reymer.shoffer,
Fordtran and McDonald, to which Aud-
itor Selkirk was also added.
After the transaction of some minor
business the council adjourned.

are opposed to the tax for the reason, as
alleged in the petition, that the tax levied
and collected by the state for the support
of free schools is amply sufficient and de-
frays all reasonable expenses for the sup-
port of said schools in the city of Gal-
