candidate for renoniination for the presi-
dency. If the opportunity should present
itself for Mr. Cleveland to make a posi-
tive declaration on the subject, it would
probably be well for him to do so as early
I as practicable, so as to put an end to idle
speculation and contrary reports, but.
what excuse can he find for refusing
what has not been offered to him?
Maine Republicans say Reed needs no
platform. They probably think he is big
enough to be seen from .the ground.

GALVESTON TRIBUNE I
According to a Louisville exchange, 75
newspapers in Kentucky favor the nomi-
nation of Carlisle for president, while 25
prefer some other candidate, so far as
responses have been obtained to the
question submitted. Three of the anti-
Carlisle papers are published in Bowling
Green.
At the enterprising town of Lockhart,
under a call of the county judge, a coun-
ty road league has been organized to se-
cure good country roads and driveways
and to memorialize the legislature to ena-
ble county precincts to levy a special tax
for road purposes. Looks like Lockhart
people are in earnest.

DUDLEY’S CONCESSION.
Chairman Dudley’s latest official effu-
sion is a confession of error and plea in
extenuation.
I-t is a thinly disguised admission that
the hoped for recruits from the Populist'
ranks to the reinforcement of the free
silver Democracy refused to be beguiled
and that succor must be looked for else-
where to save the administration ship
from sinking.
A few weeks ago the disposition of Mr.
Dudley and his co-workers was fo purge
the Democratic party of all the elements
and influences opposed to their peculiar
views and methods, and open the doors
to Populists, invited to come in and take
the place of the expelled members. But
the Populists refused to come. They re-
alized their advantage and were satis-
fied to remain where they are. Mr. Dud-
ley and his co-conspirators, after realiz-
ing the failure of their experiment and
the necessity for -obtaining recruits to
make up the deficiency in their voting
strength, as a dernier resort, seek to
win back the maligned and discarded
“brother Democrats,” and have thrown
out the tempting offer of a “free ballot
and a fair -count,” such as had been be-
fore denied. As an inducement to the
sound money Democrats to participate in
the primaries, they will be permitted to
depart from the form of ballot prescribed
by the state committee for the purpose
of disfranchising them, and to employ
such ballots as will express their honest
conictions, and the promise is made that
the free silver returning board will count
■all such ballets if it “can be faily ascer-
tained how the party casting the ballot
intended to vote upon the question at
issue.”
It may be that enough of the sound
money “brother Democrats” win accept
the b'ait to save Mr. Candidate Dudley
■and the office seeking contingent of his
party from defeat, and to re-establish
temporary harmony and union in the in-
terest of office getting. That seems to bo
about all there is to professional politics,
anyhow.
It is again reported that Mr. Cleveland
■is about to write a letter announcing that
under no circumstances will he become a
Is the foundation of good health, because
the blood circulates to every part of the
body, supplying every organ, nerve,
muscle and fibre in the human system’

or is thin, weak and deficient, it will

Bl
Republicans Decide Not to Revive It
This Session.
Washington, D. C., April 17.—No action
toward a revival of the reciprocity
scheme will be taken by this house, ac-
cording to a decision made today by Re-
publican members of the ways and means
committee, who held a caucus today and
discussed the whole question. The reci-
procity scheme includes so many prob-
lems interwoven with the tariff that the
Republicans think it advisable not to
take it up until a general tariff revision
is begun.
HOUSTON A RESERVE CITY.
Washington, D. C., April 6. — The
comptroller of the currency today issued
finally the order designating Houston,
Tex., as a national bank reserve city.
This order has been expected for some
time, but it was delayed mainly by the
application of Dallas for' similar recogni-
tion. The comptroller had about made
up his mind to issue the order in favor
of Houston when the application from
Dallas came to hand and necessitated a
close investigation of the claims of the
rival cities. There has always been so
much rivalry between Texas cities that it
is easily understood how -each city
brought alt of the valuable influence pos-
sible to bear upon the comptroller
and what a quandary of conflicting in-
formation he -has been in for several
weeks past. There is no doubt, how-
ever, that the actual registration of
Houston’s population in the recent mu-
nicipal contest was the determining point
in her favor and it was so far ahead of
the showing made by Dallas that the
comptroller could but decide in Houston’s
favor.
The privileges enjoyed by the reserve
city, aside from the prestige that, such
a designation gives it, are set forth in the
act approved March 3, 1887, providing for
additional reserve and central reserve
cities.

The Fort Worth Gazette has taken off
its special new-s train to Dallas and dis- I
oil. tinned its special edition, which was
designed to cover the local field in the
north Texas meiropolis and, incidentally,
to- divide the subscription and advertising
patronage in Dallas with the local nows-
pa pei-s.
The so called Dallas edition devoted a
full page to- Dallas incidents and Dallas
interests, and it was claimed that the
Gazette bad a wonderfully large circula-
tion in the city at the head of Trinity
navigation. The sudden relinquishment
of the field, which was said to be prov-
ing so productive and profitable is ex-
plained bythe Gazette as the result of a
communication ■addressed to the publish-
ers and signed by the leading business en-
terprises in Fort Worth,” whereof the
following is the text;
Gentlemen: Believing that the Dallas
edition issued by you tends to depreciate
Fort Worth and its business interests, in
the estimate of the state at large, we
■respectfully suggest .that if you can find
it convenient with your interest to dis- i
continue said edition, such action would
be appreciated by the business communi- ■
ty of Fort Worth, and we pledge our-
selves, as far as lies within our power to
offset by our patronage any loss you may
suffer on this 'account.
From this it would appear either that
the Gazette is not capable of covering
two fields at once, of reaching out beyond
its local surroundings—that attention to
Dallas meant neglect of Fort Worth—or
that the effort to beard the lion in his
den. had proven stale, flat and unprofit-
able, and for the abandonment of the
contest some excuse was better than
none.
There is room enough in Texas for all
its respectable newspapers, but. not room
enough for any one that tries to grab
its neighbor’s natural field. Let each
reign supreme at home and fight it out
on the common ground between.
The date -of the state convention of the
Good roads leagues to be held in Galves-
ton is June 9 next, and it begins to look
like a great many good roads leagues will
be represented in that convention. With-
in the last few weeks good roads leagues
have been formed at various points in the
state and interest in one of the greatest
issues now before the country is every-
where being aroused. There ought not
to be standing room in the biggest con-
vention hall Galveston can possible pro-
vide for the coming good roads meeting.

cial question,! as it is seen from the ad-

cepting the invitation Mr. Eckels wrote

A RAILROAD INFERENCE.
What Prevents the Southern Pacific’s
Entrance Into Galveston.
A few days ago The Tribune published
a dispatch from Austin interpreting Mr.
J. Waldo’s position on the Southwestern
traffic association’s administration board
as evidence of the Southern Pacific’s vir-
tual backing of the Galveston, La Porte
and Houston railroad.
The point made is that Mr. Waldo,
president of the La Porte, a short line
between Galveston and Houston, without
known trunk alliance, would not have
been given a position of such importance
without the backing of powerful inter-
ests. The absence of a Southern Pacific
man on the board is also- significant, as
an interest so great as the Southern Pa-
cific would not likely be shut out. Mr.
Huntington is not the man to neglect his
right in this fashion.
The conclusion that Mr. Waldo repre-
sents the 'Southern Pacific is not only
plausible to laymen, but is accepted as
unquestionably true by railroaders on
the inside.
That representation is not a matter of
personal accommodation or mere personal
preferment. Mr. Huntington has no such
fondness for Mr. Waldo as would lead
him to place such vast interests in his
hands as a mere matter of personal con-
fidence, nor is Mr. Waldo so fond of Mr.
Huntington that he would serve him out
of pure friendship.
The arrangement is a business transac-
tion pure and simple, and it means that
Mr. Waldo stands for the Southern Pa-
cific because the Southern Pacific has al-
ready secured, or expects to secure, traf-
fic control or -direct ownership of the Gal-
veston, La Porte and'Houston.
This circumstance recalls a remark
made a few months ago by Col. Walter
Gresham, one of the owners of the Gal-
vesto® and Western, which has since
been sold to the La Porte. The Galves-
ton and Western was asking for a re-
newal of its franchises by the city council
and Col. Gresham said if the request
were granted, a trunk line would be using
the little (Susie terminals within 60 days.
But the franchise was not renewed and,
naturally, the trunk line could not ac-
quire the terminals which the action of
the council tied up in the courts.
Meanwhile, the La Porte has absorbed
the Galveston and Western and has con-
structed a first class line between Gal-
veston and Houston. ’Something like
$1,000,000 has been expended on the line
and, though the owners, Messrs. Waldo,
Gresham, Ford, Stewart and Boyles, are
pretty well to do, it is hardly possible that
they had that much idle capital.
Work has gone along steadily and is
progressing as rapidly as court complica-
tions will permit. 'The road bed is being
ballasted, new ties are being laid under
the Susie and a first class bridge, with a
splendid steel draw, is being constructed
across the bay and will be ready for
trains by May 1.
The incident of Tuesday night, when
the La Porte partly succeeded in crossing
the Galveston, Houston and Henderson
tracks to connect with the wharf com-
pany’s tracks, shows that the road is de-
termined. to push into Galveston and can
command a sufficient force of men to ac-
complish anything the opposition will
permit.
Several months ago depot grounds were
purchased on the bay front between 10th
and lGth streets and the right to run down
avenue A to that property was requested.
But it develops that surveys and litiga-
tion without end must intervene before
the La Porte can get its tracks on that
thoroughfare. Meanwhile, the road
asks permission to cross avenue A from
the end of its Galveston and Western
tracks on 9th street in order to reach its
■depot grounds by that route, while the
courts sift out the respective rights of
railways and experience demonstrates
the traffic capacity of avenue A from
the western yards to the wharves in the
east, where commerce is necessarily
drifting.
Naturally, the trunk line of which Col.
Gresham spoke some months ago, which
appeare to be the Southern Pacific which
Mr. Waldo now represents. in the South-
western traffic association, will not, in-
60 -deed can not, conclude, any negotiation
an
while the La Porte stops in the/western
part -of the city and must fight its way
through several years of litigation to the
wharves, and is held up on 9th aud ave-
nue A, a few blocks from its depot
grounds, by a minority of the city coun-
cil.
Meanwhile, as appears, elsewhere in
The Tribune, the Missouri Pacific lias
bid defiance to the arbitrators in order
to move grain to New Orleans; Galves-
ton’s natural allies are held in check by
some unaccountable ■ influeffice^-and the
prospect of at least dividing with New
Orlbans the powerful friendship of the
Southern Pacific is getting near the point
of abandonment out -of sheer exhaustion.
