What (lie Interior Papers Hay.
The Willis Index remarks:
The management of The Galveston Nicwa,
r.ot satisfied with publishing; the best paper in
the Btate, have determined to duplicate their
excellent journal for the benefit of northern
Texas. The Dallas issue will, in the main, be
irade up of the general and special matter
collated for the Galveston paper, and la bmnd
to fill a lorg felt want in the journalism of
north Texas.
The Orange Tribune moves that the name
of the bfgh school at the capital be changod
to that of Austin university, and gives its
reasons, as follows:
Not that we are at war with the school, for
no paper in the State has shown a warmer
friendship for higher education than the
Tribune, but that the high price for board a'
Austin makes it impossible for anyone outside
/at that city, unless he be a bloated bondholdor,
to give his children the advantage of free
tiiitTon in the university. The school is not un-
popular; but as loDgas it is possible for stu-
dents to be tent hundreds of miles away and
gft as good, or better, tuition than they can
get nt Austin for less money than the
coet of board and washing at Austin,
it is net probable that the classic
halls of the free university will be crowded.
1 he mess hall system would seem to otter some
relief for tbo young men, yet we have grave
doubts of its ever being adopted by a sufficient
number to make any appreciable difference in
the attendance, while young ladieB of limited
means are forced to look elsewhere for educa-
tion—all on account of the excessive prices
charged for board by the Austin people. Hence
we insist that it muBt develop into a local high
school, only available to th« wealthy and to
those living within sight of its lofty towers.
The Cleburne Chronicle says:
The fields of Texas now need, and will need
for fifty years to come, more labor than can
possibly be obtained, and theWew convicts in
no way affect the demand for farm labor or
the pi Ice of it.
The Chronicli' twits The News for its alleged
habit of taking the unpopular side. There is
nothing to be ashamed of in sympathizing with
the under dog in the fight. The News might
say that it imitates the Irishman's way of
driving the pig, by pretending to try to make
It go in a direction contrary to that desired;
but such is not its policy. It only points out
the right road, and leives those who refuse to
take it to their own ways. It is easier to give
good advice than to make people follow it
Mankind are proverbially prone to take the
wrong course, even when they see the right
one.
The Abilene Quill remarks:
It is remarkably strange that some of the
pretentious journals of the day never indorse
any side of an issue or agitate a question till
they ascertain which is the popular side. Is
this leading or following journalism?
Follow the crowd should be the motto of
some papers.
Galveston drummers are again reporting to
interior papers. The I. p's would make tham
all the more welcome If they brought adver-
tisements.
The Bosque County Blade asks: "Who Is
Horace Yammer?" This shows how hard it
is for the interior papers to appreciate the
public characters of Galveston.
W. L. Malone announces his retirement from
the tripod of the Fort Worth Gazette, and
cays:
Mr. George B Loving, the general manager
of the paper, assumes, in addition to his other
duties, that of the editorial management.
Preparations continue to be made for the
heavy business of the coming season. Tha
Edna (Jackson county) Progress says:
A special train of sixty cars was run over
the road between Wharton and Victoria on
Friday, distributing 10,000 or 12,000 ties, to ba
inserted in the place of old ones. The roadbad
of the New York, Texas and Mexican shows a
nf JteiaSt" (W6 OF tl.3a
ffiicnths. Both the New York, Texai and
Mexican and the Morgan roads evidently ex-
pect heavy cotton shipments this fall, as the
roadbeds of these lines aro undergoing con-
siderable improvement. At several of the
bridges of the Morgan road, between Victoria
and Cuero, new piling is being put In, and tha
bridges generally put in good condition.
The Progress reports the boss rattler of the
summer:
Tuesday evening Mr. P. P. Putnam left at
this cfllce a stuffed rattlesnake skin which
measured six feet in length without the rat-
tles. head, and about six inches of the neck
part, which would have made it full seven and
a half feet. It measured, very loosely stuffed,
as it was, with hay, over twelve inches in cir-
cumference. The snake was killed the day bo-
fore by Mr. Putnam, at his pasture gate, a faw
miles above town, on the Lavaca, and those
who have surveyed its snakeship pronounce
it the largest of tbo kind they have ever seen.
Its age is said, by good judges, to have been
about 15 or 16 years.
Referring to the reduction of 35 per cent, on
tbe valuation of live stock assessed for taxes
this year the Ban Antonio Express remarks:
The assessors furnish a surprise in their as-
sessments nearly every year; in fact, the
assessments form a continuous surprise to
these who compare the value of tha holdings
of rich men with the assessors' figures. The
constitution declares that taxation shall be
equal, but the man with $1000 worth of pro-
perty, generally assessed at or near its full
value, pays at a rate nearly double that of his
rich neighbor, who manages generally to de-
preciate the value of his property about 50 par
cent, when the assessor comes around.
The Ban Antonio Times remarks:
The Houston Post intimates that the Austin
correspondence bureau ought to change its
course. By this, we presume, it means the
bureau ought to abandon simultaneous so-
called interviews, quit sending out marked pi-
pers and clippings pulilcg Indiana limestone
and the majority of the capitol board, and
quit writing letters in behalf of said majority's
candidate lor governor. If this is what the
Post means, it has at least taken a sensible
view of the situation.
Several other papers make remarks to the
same effect, some of them even going so far as
to intimate that the correspondents have been
influenced by private considerations.
There is great rivalry and detraction be-
tween the local editors of the Luling papers In
regard to their talents as serenaders. It beats
cats a-fightlng.
The [Sherman Democrat is not poetic. It
sajs:
The doggerel, the Last Battle, in the Fort
Worth Gazette, is just one turn more of tha
grindstone than we can stand. Gush if you
must, but do it In prose.
The Mexla Ledger says:
Mexia will pay as high for cotton this fall
as any place in the State. Her inability to do
so during a part of last season was due to the
cutting of rates by the narrow-gauge. This
road was represented In the recent pool at
Galveston, which decided to adopt uniform
rates and divide profits, thus putting an end
to the damaging fluctuations of last aeaion.
This will eave thousands of dollars to Mexia.
The following is from the Elgin Times:
Tbe present libel law of Texas Is the greatest
outrage on cur free and unprejudiced press
ever enacted, and seems to have been framed
as a shield to corruption. fnE Galveston
News, one of the best journals in the South-
to which the people aro mostly indebted for
information of the corrupt practice so com-
mon throughout the land—seems to be the tar-
get at which shots are directed under the law.
Muazle the press by law and the country's
freedom is lost.
The Waxahachie Mirror continues to be one
of the handsomest and very best weeklies of
the interior, though there are many well-
printed and good papers in Texas.
The Waco Day says, and the Gainesville
Hesperian-Times repeats:
A revision of the present libel law of Texas,
at) construed by the high courts in its applica-
tion to newspapers, ought to be made an issue
in state politics. It is a question which affects
tie people, for whatever may be said la other
iespects of newspaper!, the fact remains that
bey are tbe source of public information In
regard to tbe actB of public officials and
crookedness In high places, If their voice is
suppressed by fear cf suits for damages, tha
rings, cliques and combinations to plunder the
State will have full latitude to work out thalr
unscrupulous plans in secret, without immo
diate danger of exposure.
The Rockdale Messenger says:
What to do with the large number of young
lawyers who are wanting to be United States
senator without serving one apprenticeship in
statecraft, is getting to be a puzzling question.
* * * It is only the lawyer candidates who
want their speeches inflicted on the people In
print.
The English government should pay m >re
attention to tbe advice of Texas papers. The
Dallas Herald states that:
England is going to mako another blunder
in Central Asia and India. Wolseley is to be
placed in charge cf the defensive measures.
This will give Russia a complete waikover.
The Moscow Pinery remarks:
Pluck and energy will win, and the manage-
ment of The News is lacking in neither.
The Glenroce Citizen asks:
From what creed, law, precedent or natural
reason has government acquired tho right to
tax the industrious, sober citizen to protect
and support the idle, drunken loafer I
It would seem, from the long existence of
the evil, that it is founded, like the libel law,
on tho imprescriptible right of precedent, the
fortress behind which many other abuses and
wroDgsare intrenched.

Houston, August 2.—People who live on
Washington street, in the Fourth ward north
oppose any movement toward graveling that
street. The Echo, published on that street,
commenting on the subject, uses the following
language: "The Echo would dislike to be-
lieve that A Resident, writing to the Herald,
in favor of graveling Washington street, was
actuated by selfish motives, but it looks like it.
There is a large number of people living along
Washington street whose little homes are their
sole possessions, and the passage of any act
which would compel them to dispose of their
homes in order to settle enormous graveling
bills assessed against them, would be little less
than robbery, whether the act had the sanc-
tion of the city council or not."

Tbe Herald, this evening, published the fol-
lowing very complimentary notice in connec-
tion with the gentlemen whose names are men
tloned below:
" Mr. George B. Dealey, the genial an ' effi
cient business manager of The News at '>us-
ton, will to-day retire from the position 'io has
so long and faithfully filled. He w.ll 1 - suc-

will leave for brooklyn.
Frank Kavanaugh, of Harrisburg, has been
notified to appear before the naval examining
board, to stand an examination for the posi-
tion of foreman of the foundry department.
Mr. ICavanangh is now in charge of both tho
foundries of the Southern Pacific system, at
Harrisburg. His chances for a position in the
Brooklyn navy-yard are very good. For
some time past he has been experimenting
on the melting and mixing of steel and
wrought iron by the ordinary cupalo and has
met with decided success in producing good
sound castings. Old foundrymen have been
of the opinion for years that this could not bo
accomplished. While Mr. Kavanaugh is a
master of bis trade in every essential, he is
also one of the party now in power. Those
who know him well appreciate him for his in-
tegrity and sterling qualities of manhood.
for state senator,
The following item in relation to the posi-
tion of Btato senator from this district wa3
published in tho Herald of yesterday evening:
"Mr. J. W. Mitchell is mentioned as a
probable successor to Senator J. W. Jones,
from this district. Mr. Mitchell is a rising
young lawyer, thoroughly identified with the
young Democracy of Texas, and if he should
decide to enter the contest he will be bard to
beat."
Mr. Mitctell is a young Virginian who
Bettled here a few years ago to praticce law.
During the period of his residence and prac
tice in Houston he passed through a journal-
istic career, and has also appeared before the
public in a literary character, and also that of
a public speaker. In all these capacities he
has been well received. His warm personal
Democratic friends will no doubt boom him
for the place now held by tho talented J. W.
Jones, of this city.

conducted with a clearness and dispatch that

For a Mfe-Tlme,
I liavo suffered for years with an eruption—
breaking out at intervals all over my body. At
times my hands would be useless, which were both
Gainful and annoying. All other remedies had
een exhausted, when my merchant here, who
hnndlf s 8. B. S., induced me to try Swift's Specifle.
I tried one bottle, and could see that the sores on
my hands were drying up. After the use of sev-
eral bottles I was entirely cured. My skin is now
ns fair and smooth as that of a new-born babe.
This eruption was hereditary, as my father was
similarly affected. He had also been entirely
cured. I take great pleasure in recommending it
to others who are similarly affected. I can vouch
for it. It is all it claims to be. I consider it a
God-send to this generation, and my house shall
never hewitnout it. J. D. ROSS.
