FRIDAY JANUARY 24 1002.
Whitela Reid attends King
Ned's coronation as "special en-
voy." The report that the St. Louis ex-
position opening would be postpon-
ed until 1904 is denied. The man-
agers propose to have it ready on
time.

General Smith does not have to

stubborn delinquents.
The joint resolution for the elec
tion of senators by the people has
been favorably reported in the
house. The lower branch of con
gress will probably be largely in
favor of such a move but it re
mains to be seen how the dignified
senators will receive the proposi-
tion. The people generally believe
that they should fleet the upper
house as well as the lower.
It IS quite complimentary to the
press when such men as Mayor
Carter Harrison of Chicago says
that he would prefer being editor
of some great daily paper than be-
ing president of the United States.
Such talk as this is calculated to
make the follower of the newspa-
per profession a little vain until
he punches a hole in his pocket
trying to find a dollar. Loekhart
Post.
Corpus Christi wants the Katy
to come tlat way from San An-
tonio to Brownsville and the Ea-
gle states that some of the leading
citizens have addressed a letter to
the geueral manager of the road
urging that the proposed extension
be bnilt via Corpus Christi. The
way to secure a good thing is to
get up and go aFter it. The good
people of the Bluff City seem to
realize this and are to be com-
mended for not allowing the grass
to grow under their feet when such
an opportunity awaits them.
The British consul at the City
of Mexico calls the attention of
British manufacturers to the gains
which the United States is making
in supplying Mexico with articles
which it imports from foreign
countries. This is as it should be.
Its proximity alone should give to
the Unite?! States the lion's share
o MexieoJrade. And it should

it needs and the trade of both

When Lord Alfred Bruce Dou-
glas sailed from New York tht
other day he paid Uncle Sam's do-
maiu the following compliment:
"All that I will say is tliHt I am
very glad to get out of this coun-
try at.d 1 shall never come back
again. The country is God forsaken-"
This sounds harsh but
considering the source fhe conn-
try has canse to congratulate itself
that the speaker will not renin:.
Douglas was the boon companion
of the vile Oscar Wilde and the
fact that American society would
not receive him titled though he
be speaks well for the health uf
the moral tone pervadiug it. The
leading club in Washington refus
ed to admit him and good society
everywhere gave him the cold
shoulder. His dislike speaks well
for America and his departure is
well taken.
Canal Complications.
Washington D. C. It is believ-
ed the supplemental report of the
Canal Con mission will have no
weight with a majority of the Sen-
ators on the Committee on Inter-
oceanic Canals and that there will
be n majority report in favor of
Nicaragua md a minority in favor
of Panama. This is likely to cause
a squabble through the entire ses
sion of Congress and there is pos-
sibility of an'ournment without
any action being taken.
Texas Notes.
Robert W. Dowe of Eagle Pass
has been appointed collector of
customs. of that district to succeed
C. C. Drake who was removed.
Dowe is a native of Texas born
in De Witt county in 18G2. He
was shei'iir ot Maverick county
when appointed collector.

would-be assassins.
