ADVERTISING WITH ( LOSED DOORS
The Dry Goods Chronicle contains an at-
tack upon Postmaster-general Dickinson's
position with reference to proposed mail
subsidies, and the article has been circu-
lated in a separate form. It would be a
long task to fully exhibit the important as-
sumptions and unproved assertions of the
Chronicle in all their necessary bearings. It
would really appear that the Chronicle im-
agines that all will agree that mail service
with foreign nations is for the purpose of
creating and building up commercial rela-
tions. Even if this were the case the gov-
ernment which puts serious obstacles in the
way of trade would be acting inconsistently
in trying by subsidy to build up such trade.
Between the different parts of this republic
trade is free. If domestic mail facilities
ever partake of the nature of subsidies they
at least are not neutralized by the economic
policy of government in other ways, but in
fact domestic service is had by competitive
bidding. If Great Britain gives any mail
subsidies she makes other channels
of trade as free as possible.
To do otherwise would be sowing
costly seed while refusing to allow
the ground to be stirred or refreshed with
the moisture which nature has provided.
The Chronicle makes such assumptions as
the following:
There are certain plain business propositions
that both democrats and republicans can afford
to join hands 011 tor the credit and prolit of tlie
nation, ami the carriage of tho ocean mails
through which an American commercial ma-
rine can be re-established is one of them.
Is it true that the American commercial
marine has been reduced to such a pass that
it needs re-establishing? It was magnificent
under the "free trade tariff" in 1859. Yes,
it has been practically starved by a system
for destroying one-lialf the foreign trade of
the country and, of course, laming the
other half. Is it to be re-established by run-
ning a few steamers? How, if the exporters
say that they can not produce much for
sale in the neutral markets? The Chronicle
makes no attempt to establish the correct-
ness of that position upon which its recom-
mendation hinges. If American manufac-
turers can now sell in tlia general
foreign markets they are grossly
imposing upon their fellow citizens
in claiming the need of tariff protec-
tion at their own doors. And The News
would also suggest that when they ask for
subsidy on the pretext of British examples,
they would please consider that England is
like an advertiser whose doors are open,
whereas under protectionist management
the United States is like a dealer with
closed doors. Way must be opened for
business by removing restrictions before it
can he even less than ludicrous to talk
about subsidies to give trade a start. A
sign of vexation in the subsidy camp is no-
ticeable in the ungracious statement that a
lawyer, meaning Mr. Dickinson, should not
be put in charge of a commercial business,
meaning the United States mail. But the
lawyer has shown proper business sense
and spirit. He says that he can get the
mail sent better and cheaper than by the
subsidy method, and that while it is his
business to get the mail sent he does not
want to be forced to divide his attention
and give part of it to holding the mail back
and settling at a higher price than the ser-
vice is worth. If the subsidy men care for
British examples they can find them in this
regard, too.
STATE OFFICERS AM) SALARIES.
The Austin Statesman wants higher sa-
laries for state officers, salaries commen-
surate with the dignity of the officers and
such as will "command men with talent and
probity suited to fill the offices." Men of
the ability and honesty to perform the
duties of those offices, the Statesman avers,
"are worthy of their hire, and it is a piti-
able attitude for the state to occupy, that of
a harsh and grinding taskmaster unap-
preciative of any service done." The salaries
of state officers, it is true, are not tempt-
ing, but these officers are not conscripted.
State officers are volunteers, having sought
tho service upon the pay tho constitution
fixes. They have been considered worthy of
their hire, and if they have been harshly
dealt with and over-tasked, no power can
deprive them of their constitutional right
to resign. Usually they solicit a second,
third and fourth term under the harsh and
unappreciative taskmaster. If it is claimed
and can be established that the class of men
■who eagerly seek tho state offices and freeze
on to them, coming forward term
after term with necks meekly bowed for the
heavy yoke of the cruel taskmaster, are not
up to the proper standard as to " talent and
probity suited to fill the offices," then, of
course, the public service suffers, provided
higher salaries would securo better
men. Of course, the state can well afford
to pay what is required for the best service,
and presumably this service is secured, for
the state pays its money and takes its
choice of available persons, as the corpora-
tions or the individual employers do.
It is purely a business transaction.
It follows that the state's business transac-
tion must be satisfactory to the tax yayers
if men of ability and probity suitable to fill
the offices are employed at inside figures.
'The press will not, merely for the benefit of
the volunteer official, advocate an advance
of Iiis wages when the people have the best
of the bargain. But the Statesman may in-
tend to convey the idea that the state does
not secure ability and probity suitable to
fill the offices creditably to tho officers to the
best advantage of the people. Many reflect-
ing persons will agree to this proposition.
It is usual to point to tho &25,-
000 to $50,000 salaries of rail-
way managers and great banking
establishments as illustrating the niggard-
liness of the states in tixing salaries-. It is
inapt and inapplicable. The railway mana
ger establishes his laws and appoints his
assistants and employes and is responsible
for the success of the business. The state
official is subject in every act to inexorable
laws defining hie duties in every respect.
He is responsible only in the small sphere
of his clerical appointments. He has no
management of the public business in
the sense of devising methods and poli
ci'ts. The public business is trans-
acted according to methods and
rules which govern his official
action. Unlike tho railway manager, he
can not ordinarily be held to any account
ability for the failure of the business in-
trusted to his department. If he obeys the
law the law is accountable for failure. The
man who originates policies and success-
fully executes them, who makes the rules
for the government of the business intrust-
ed to him, appoints and removes at will
those who are to serve in enforcing bis rules,
fend is held responsible for results, is in .1
position quite different from the state
official whose deficiencies in ability to devise
and manage are never discovered because
mediocrity answers the purpose. The chief
clerk in a state department is usually en-
titled to more consideration than the depart-
ment head. He is usually better versed in
the laws and responsibilities of that branch
of the service. In fact ho usually conducts
the department business. Often, and espe-
cially during the campaign, when the heads
of departments are seeking the favor
of the hard taskmasters by the
barbecue route, spending their small
savings from the meager pay of the state in
Journeys to this and that reunion and poli-
tical picnic, the chief clerks are conducting
the affairs of state upon much less pay and
with ample svccess. Just now Mr. Cooper,
Mr. Hall, Mr. Lubbock and Mr. Hogg are all
candidates for another term. If a better
man for anyone of their places is pointed
out The News will gurantee his acceptance
of it if tendered. If any one of these officers
is wanting in ability and probity, and if the
fact be shown by the Statesman, The News
will guarantee his defeat by a proper man.
If any one of them is dissatisfied with the
pay he has his remedy. It is true that
judicial officers of the highest courts are
overworked. Their tasks can not be trans-
ferred to deputies and chief clerks. What
is required is more judges, and not neces-
sarily higher wages. It is not doubted that
the present organization of the supreme
court is discouraging to the candidature of
the foremost lawyers for positions on that
bench. The supreme judge should be lib-
erally paid, if he is not, but what is wanted
is that the court shall be organized in such
force as to transact its business with both
dispatch and efficiency. This is required in
the public interest, and in the interest of
the judges themselves.
boulaxger has proved himself to be
neither an orator nor a soldier. He was
defeated in debate and wounded in a duel
by an old lawyer, all within forty-eight
hours. He had better let some one else do
his talking and fighting hereafter if he
wishes to retain the respect of even the
newsnoys of Paris. Had he come out ahead
in the chambers and wounded or killed his
antagonist in the duel his success might
have been dangerous for the peace and sta-
bility of the French republic, but as it is, he
is scarcely to be considered as an element iu
French politics.
Philadelphia Times; The tariff of 1789
was the first protective tariff. It was ad-
vised by Washington and Hamilton to pro-
tect our labor and establish industrial inde-
pendence, and it was at a time when our
industries were not merely in their infancy,
but most of them were unborn. The highest
average taxes imposed by that tariff were 17
per cent, and the general average was below
15 per cent. The Mills bill levies 40 per
cent tariff duties, or 85 per cent more than
"the second declaration of independence"
devised by Hamilton. If the Mills bill is in
the line of free trade, what were the tariff
bills of Hamilton in 1789, of Clay in 18-12
and of Morrill in 1861? Why not
tell the exact truth and the whole
truth about the tariff? People who are pay-
ing nearly 50 cents out of every dollar they
earn for taxes on many of tho necessaries of
life when the money is not needed by the
government, and who see our industries
crippled by high taxes upon their raw ma-
terials, will not be deceived by mere asser-
tion without facts, and why not give the
truth? If the Mills bill is a free trade
measure; if it fails to protect the wages of
labor; if it will open our ports to the prod-
ucts of Europe which we can produce at
home, it is a free trade measure and its de-
fenders should be overthrown.
Galveston's Poor Grab is the headline of
an editorial in the San Antonio Express of
last Wednesday. An anonymous wool-
buyer is being made to vent his opinions and
the wish of the good Express man being
father to his thoughts, he comes to the con-
clusion by twisting and turning the subject
to suit his purpose, that Galveston is alto-
gether an artificial wool market. The Ex-
press man is entirely too green if he hopes
to pipe the old flock back to the pen where
they have been so often shorn. Intelligent
sheepmen understand the question well
and their action in seeking a seaport as a
market for their wools proves they can not
be misled by fabrications such as the Ex-
press seems to take pleasure in launching
from time to time. The object is obvious,
but what does the country care for the
opinion of an interested person or the criti-
cism of the Express? People are guided by
facts and not by hallucinations inspired by
jealousy.
In tracing up the family history of Gen-
eral Harrison for the purpose of getting
good material to run the campaign on, the
republicans have found that the celebrated
crank, John Cleves Symmes of "Symmes'
hole" notoriety, was the uncle of his mater-
nal great grandfather. Just what Harri-
son's grandfather, great-grandfather and
Symmes' hole have to do with the political
questions of to-day it is hard to discover,
but republicans of the bourbon school seem
determined to make the fight on dead men's
bones as well as 011 dead issues. Foraker and
Ingalls raking up the war and the rest of
the gang raking up the dead Harrisons is
an amusing sight.

An Opinion About Lynch Law.
We will not undertake to say that execu-
tions not provided for by law must always
be regarded as murders. On rare occasions
it may become—in fact, it does become—the
duty of the good citizens of a town or a
rural locality to rise up and informally put
a monster to death. But in none of the re-
cently-reported lynchings has there been
any appearanco ot justification,
for there lias been 110 necessity. The
courts and all appliances of jus-
tice in Illinois and in nearly all the
states can be safely depended upon to pun-
ish all persons who are proven to be guilty
of crime. Nothing is more certain than the
punishment of assaults on women. The
only danger in such cases is that judges and
juries will be blinded by natural indigna-
tion and lean too strongly against the per-
son or persons accused. So strong is t he
sympathy of American manhood with
women, so intense is t lie resentment aroused
by a woman's story of wrong, that the best
proof of innocence is required to offset her
simple accusation. There are ten chances
of unjust conviction to one chance of. a
guilty man'sacquittaliusuchcases. [Wash-

The Two Breckinridgres.
There are two Breckinridges in congress,
Clifton R., who is the son of tho late vice-
president, and William Cabell Preston
Breckinridge. But "Mr. Breckinridge"
means W. C. P. invariably. Mr. Breckin-
ridge is a handsome, gray haired and gray-
whiskered man, not unlike Mr. Blaine,
although much shorter, lie has the beauti-
ful, penetrating voice of tho Prestons of
South Carolina, from whom he is descended
—a family of no great genius, but
who are all born orators. Mr.
Breckinridge's particular chum is his little
12-year-old daughter, who sticks to him
like a little chestnut burr. Tho greatest
frolic of the year to tho pair is New Year's
day, when they both go visiting together.
Little Miss Breckinridge wears a costume
of pure white, and her face is one broad
smile of childish delight as she swings on to
her father's hand. They first pay their re-
spects to the president. Then they go to the
few houses at which Mr. Breckinridge calls.
The little maid gets her pocket full of can-
dies, is petted by all the men and kissed by
all the ladies, and is the happiest youngster
in Washington. Her mother remonstrates
mildly at this unique performance, but Mr.
Breckinridge declares lie will have his way
about this, as he has to give it up in every-
thing else. [N. Y. Sun.
THE STATE PRESS.
What the Papers Throughout Texas Are
Talking1 About.
The Mineral Wells Herald says : " Gal-
veston will more than likely get the deep
water port." Keep back the information
until those 3,000 lots on Aransas bay are
sold.
Look out for first bales. The Beaumont
Enterprise says:
On Thursday we received a small package
of open cotton bolls from Mr. Gus Higby
of Sabine pass. The bolls are all open ready
open for picking, and a fair sample of the
crop, which assuredly must be a magnifi-
cent one. The cotton was raised by Cezar
Boyon and Lewis Floyd at Sabins pass.
The Enterprise has received the big squash
of the Sabine. It was a squash a little
larger than is generally produced here, but
not so much. It weighed 74 pounds. If
such a vegetable should fall on, instead
of to, an editor it would squash him more
ways than one.
In its description of Angelina county the
Lufkin Leader says:
Deer, wild turkeys, foxes, quail, or as
they are improperly called here, partridge,
ana squirrels abound. The "drive" is the
usual method of hunting the deer. A pack
of hounds is taken in some direction agreed
upon by one of the hunters, while the others
take "stands" at points where the deer is
expected to run out. Wild turkeys are
hunted iu "gobbling time" in this way:
The hunter secretes himself and proceeds to
"call" the turkey, and upon his approach
shoots him.
An article in the Houston Geological and
Scientific Bulletin says of the Nacogdoches
county oil region:
The best indications were found about
fourteen miles southeast of Nacogdoches,
where they occur at different places, and
are abundant over a tract of land seven
miles square. The first boring was done in
the spring of 1887, and the first well was a
success, securing a good flow of oil at sev-
enty feet. The second well did not prove as
good as the first, the next showed still less
oil. Those who were doing the boring,
however, were used to the vicissitudes of oil
prospecting, and were in no wise discour-
aged by a lew dry wells, especially as the
oil found proved to be of a very superior
quality. Thirteen wells have been bored,
some of them giving a mere seepage of oil,
others from one to forty barrels per day.
The actual shipments of this oil amount to
souiethiug over 1400 barrels to May 1, 18S8.
The San Antonio Express, with a coolness
that would serve for a refrigerator, re-
marks:
Tlie Austin Statesman says that the res-
olutions passed by the Fort Worth conven-
tion mean deep water for Texas. They do.
Deep water for Aransas Pass.
The San Antonio Express is riled because
the Weimar Gimlet remarks "that base-
ball is the only tiling that San Antonio can
beat Galveston at, except throwing rotten
eggs."
The San Antonio Light does not seem to
like the work of the Fort Worth deep water
convention.
The Austin Statesman says of the report
that the president will veto the river and
harbor bill:
If he should, there will be no great damage
done, insofar as Texas is concerned. Within
the last fifteen years there have been
$5,000,000 or $6,000,000 expended by the gen-
eral government upon the bars along the
Texas coast. The money has been applied
on the driblet diffusion plan, and the only
effect has been to help the fortunes of am-
bitious politicians or swell the maws of
hungry contractors. No, it might and prob-
ably would be a real advantage to Texas if
the president would kill the present bill,
because it would render tho concentrative
policy adopted by the convention of the new
west at Fort Worth a necessity, and force
Texas, as well as the other states that have
pooled their issues with her, to direct their
efforts towards opening one permanent and
commodious deep water port on our coast.
The News has received the first number
of the Dallas Evening Journal, a venture
exhibiting such confidence in its mission as
to compel respect. No city in Texas was
better supplied with good papers than Dal-
las, yet the Journal says:
Appreciating the need of Dallas for a
thoroughly live local newspaper, a number
of Dallas gentlemen have associated them-
selves together under the style of the Jour-
nal Publishing company to supply the want.
The Journal does not say that the want
has been long felt. The Journal has a
hard road before it, but faith is said to
overcome mountains.
The Columbia Old Capitol is a model
country weekly, if it does pitch into Gal-
veston and- work like a beaver for deep
water at the mouth of the Brazos. Its pic-
tures of the old counties of northern Texas
are masterpieces.
The Waco Day says:
The letter from Major Ernst of the United
States engineer corps, read at the Fort
Worth deep water convention, gives some
interesting data in regard to the most avail-
able points on the Texas coast for harbor
improvements. There are now, he says, four
points receiving attention from the govern-
ment, namely, Sabine pass, Galveston,
Aransas pass and Brazos Santiago, work at
Pass Cavallo and the mouth of the Brazos
having been discontinued. Comparing
these four points, he says the depth across
the bar at Galveston is Vi% feet, with an
harbor capacity of 1304 acres; at Aransas
8,'.£ feet, harbor capacity 60 acres, and at
Sabine pass 7 feet, harbor capacity 100 acres.
Brazos Santiago is not discussed in the
list, because it has 110 capacity for fur-
ther improvement. Thus it will bo seen,
says Major Ernst, that the natural advan-
tages which created Galveston and made
her the poincipal port of the state still ex-
ist to maintain her pre-eminence. She has
no rival. But while she is the only port of
any prominence, and must always be the
principal one, it does not follow that sec-
ondary ports can not be made and are not
needed. Aransas pass, in particular, is 172
miles from Galveston, and its railway fur-
nishes the shortest line to the const, for a
large part of western Texas. The improve-
ment of that entrance is desirable for the
purpose of creating a harbor of refuge in
addition to providing a highway of com-
merce. The same is true, though perhaps
in a less degree, of Sabine pass. This is the
view of a disinterested officer of the govern-
ment, and is here quoted for the informa-
tion of the Day's readers who may not have
read the letter as published. Galveston has
another important fact in its favor—it is
central to the whole state and especially
accessible by the great fertile belt running
centrally north and south, which coinpi ises
the true agricultural region of Texas.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
PRACTICE CF RESTORING DISMISSED
NAVAL OFFICERS OBJECTIONABLE.
Judge Abbott's Opinion Vigorously Kx-
pressed—Messrs. Mills and Crain Will
Stump the Country—Of Interest
to the Southern People.
Washington, July 15. — [Special] — Mr.
Abbott has made a report from the commit-
tee on naval affairs, in which he takes strong
ground against the practice of restoring dis-
missed officers to the navy by special act
of congress. It has been made on a measure
passed by the senate, which, as is well
known, is too susceptible to the social in-
fluence of the capital, and which, although
in an individual instance, affords the Texas
member an opportunity to record his dis-
sent to the too common custom of pension-
ing naval officers who have been cashiered
for cause by placing them on the retired
list with high rank, and, of course, big pay.
Judge Abbott uses the following
vigorous language.
"It is respectfully submitted that it
would be manifestly unjust to place said
Quackenbush on the same footing with the
many worthy and honorable officers who,
by long and continuous services and good
conduct in the navy, have deservedly earned
the care and protection which the govern-
ment extends to those whose names are on
the retired list.
"To pass the bill would be in effect to
pension this man, not for honorable services
in the navy, but for drunkenness find scan-
dalous conduct tending to the destruction
of good morals, of which charges he was
found guilty and dismissed from the
service."
texas politicians.
There are at least two members of the
delegation whose services will be in demand
during the coming campaign. Both Colonel
Mills and Mr. Crain have been notified that
they will be needed iu the canvass. In the
case of Colonel Mills it is not forgotten that
his health has been impaired by the severe
and long continued labors in the prepara-
tion of the tariff measure and his duties on
the floor of the house in connection there-
with. But it is expected that he will assist
in leading public sentiment in the
north and west in the direction of revenue
reform. As is known Mr. Crain has estab-
lished a good reputation among public men
as an effective popular speaker, and hence
he will be called upon for services on the
stuuip, and it is understood that he is will-
ing to obey the mandate of the party lead-
ers. This campaign will be unique in the
fact that southern orators will be utilized
to educate the popular mind at the north,
and, it can be added, none will be superior
to the representatives of Texas.
SOUTHERN INTERESTS.
The senate committee on claims have
under consideration a measure of a good
deal of interest to the southern people. It
proposes that the right of action in the
court of claims, under the provisions of tlie
captured and abandoned property acts, be
revived and extended for one year from and
after the passage of the act, including all
seizures under said acts or under color
thereof, either before or after Juno 30, 1865,
without regard to any statute of limita-
tions, and all claims for such property not
tiled in said court within that period shall
be forever barred.
As tho lapse of time would make it difB-
dult iu many cases to obtain oral proof of
the seizures made under the captured and
abandoned property act, it is provided that
all testimony now in the possession of the de-
partments of the government or of congress
relating to such claims shall bo good evi-
dence for use before the court of claims. It
is also provided that claimants may be wit-
nesses in their own behalf.
REIMBURSE INDIANS.
Representatives of the Chickasaw Nation
are endeavoring to have an amendment at-
tached to the sundry civil bill to pay these
Indians ?240,164 68 to reimburse the general
fund of the nation for money improperly
disbursed from said fund.
The lawyers and claim agents of this city
are having a hot contest over the several
millions recently appropriated for the
Clioctaws. It would seem from the many
claimants for a slice of the appropriation
that the Indians must have employed about
every man who was willing; to accept em-
ployment. As to'the services they ren-
dered that is another thine, and it appears
that the Indians are not disposed to put a
big value thereon. _
