GaLveEsTon, Tex., Feb. 19th, 1897 ‘The editors spent four days in Galveston, and it was the expres- ‘gion of a'l that the National ‘Editorial Association had never ‘been mere royally entertained than io this city. The forenoon of each day was devoted to the business sessions of the Associa- tion, the remainder uf the time being given over to sight seeing and attending entertainments and excursions given by the citizens of Galveston. The business of the Association no‘ being of in- terest to our readers we make no reference to that except to state that Denver, Col., was selected as the next place of meeting. +The Beach, where most of the editors took quarters, is a charm: ing place. It is a magnificent building located immediately on the gulf, surrounded by broad’ verandas and fronted by a beau- tiful park. This hotel is to Texas what the Atlantic at Morehead is to North Carolina, tho great sea side resort of the State. We mentioned in a former letter that the street. car strike hit the city about the same time the editors did. Well, the news- paper folks did not mind such a little obstacle-to transportation as this. Most of them were accustom. ed to doing lots of walking in their ay dL es a cong iN NH) | " + hi Warninc To CONVENTION : OQURING CARP STRIKE. \ aily hunts for news, and the ‘Way they tramped merrily too and from the convention hall showed the ‘Texans that they had a crowd of good pedestrians in their midst.

Levi, of Galveston, made them a very witty speech. He said it was the custom on occasions Of this kind to’ present a medal to the cham- pion oyster eater; that a commit- tee had been keeping “tab” to see who was entitled to the prize, and they found that Mr. B. B. Herbert, of Chicago, had broken the record by eating 1990. oysters. That gentleman was called to the front and an 8-inch leathar medal tied around his neck. Each of the others present were given a souverpir shell on which was marked the number of oysters eaten. The REFLECTOR old man gota shell saying heate 503. We were inclined to doubt it, but the committee had that number on us and no kicking or going behind the returns was allowed: All the same we were puzzled to know just how we got away with 503 oysters at one sitticg.

One evening recently there was a gathering in both places. It be- ing too warm for comfort indoors, the editor set on the veranda and took in the situation. This is what he heard : “Let us pray—ail sa:ute—we beseech thee to join hands and draw near—circle to the left—lis- ten to us—first forward and back —as we all promenade—kueel be- fore thee and balance all—present our petition—graad right and left —for Christ's sake—seat your partners.” The editor was more than sad- dened at the degeneration of the village and went off and joined a baseball club in order to be neu- tral.—Press and Printer. The Norfolk Pilot thinks the appointment of Hanna to the senate a “shame to Ohic, to the senate and to the incoming ad- ministration.” As to the senate we agree, but astate which kept John Sherman in the senate so long can’t be disgraced by send- iny Hanna in his place.

Notwithstanding the advanced ideas Mrs. Cotten ex- pressed in her paper, she is herself emphatically a ‘home body,’ and, what is certainly unique in this day of manifold women’s clubs, she does not be- long to a single organization aside from ker church.” — wm narrate So it seems, after all, that it was not Mr.-Cleveland whom the dusky ex Queen wished to embar- rass with her presence, but that she intends to sit on the doorstep of the new President with the persistency of a Hindu creditor hauntirg the bungalow of his debtor.
