All editorial in Tk Nkws Bating forth tho necessity of removing tho thrco spoilsmen, Hill. Gorman ami Brice, from the head and leadership of tho Democratic party, provokes this criticism from tho San Antonio Ex press: "About u year ago this same pa per had tho warmest words of praiso for Senator Gorman's masterly fight upon tho foroo bill. It think that in saving the Mew York legislature to tho Demooraoy, Governor Hill has done most valuablo 6orvioe. When Colonol Brice, a resident of Now York, was olectcd senator from Ohio, The Mews could see nothing wrong in it. Tho present outburst is caused by two facts. One is that aftor repeat ed ballots in the Demooratic cauous Mr. Mills was defeated for speaker Tho other is that Mr. Mills wa not offered the chairmanship of tbs coni mitteo on ways and means Tint is tho whole story " That is not tho wholo story. When Mills was dofeated The News was ono of tho first papers in tho stato to at tribulo the res alt to tho superior skill of thcCriEp men in what it believed at that time to have been purely a personal contest. The News was heartily for Mills and was sorry its candidato was defoatcd, but refused to believe that his defeat had any political significance until tho Now York Sun, the Atlanta Constitution tho Express and other protection pa pers came to us filled with editoral rejoicing over tho triumph o tho pro tection element in tho Dernooratio party followed by The assignment of the committees by Speaker Crisp. Then The News was oonvincod that tho ohargej that Hill, '.Brice and Gorman, each of whom are protection ists and neither a member of tho houso of rcpreser tatives, were tho real man agers of tho Crisp campaign was true. It was a deliberate Bohomo to cbook tho growth of tho tariff reform senti ment in the Domooratio party and thwart tho will of tho pnoplo. It ij not that Mills tbo man was rofused an office. Texas can and will givo him a bettor ono. no wont down as tho acknowledged representative of a prinoiplo dear to the hearts of nine tenths of tho Dernooratio voters of this country and when ho wont down the great principle for which he stood j went down with him for the time bo ing. "Tho do f oat of ono man is noth ing, but the defeat of a ijroat oauso is everything." As to tho fight Mr. Gorman made against tho force bill, TnE News is happy to accord to him its hearty thanks and approval, but that fight, gallant as it was, and of suoh valuo to tho South, did not licenso Mr. Gorman to cntor into a triangular intrigue to defeat tho will of the Dernooratio party which was almost umtod against the protec tive idoa. An overwhelming major ity of the Domocrutio party is oppos ed to protection but notwithstanding that fact Hill, Gorman and Bnco by their adroit scheming made it impos sible for the party in tho present oon gross to fight it. That's what Tin: News is kicking about, and that is just tho condition of things tho Ex press as a protection paper desired to see. We will meet you at the con vention. Has Lieutenant Governor Pondle ton tho time to attend an extra session? Senator Tyler and Hilling P. Robin son aro depriving him of a great deal of his time. SOCIETY LEAP YEAR UKHMAN.
