The Austin Statesman, speaking Of the
temperance wave, says
A temperance wave is sweeping over this
country. and, although the Texas legislature
lodged Il the other day, 1t seem, probable 1t
may yet return with relentless force. Many
Of the states are already engulfsd 10 tho wave,
and the surf is rising high about the hearts
Of the people of Canada. The Catholic arch
bishop Of Montreal has entered the crusade
against wnisky. In the meantime many OF
our Legislators are at homo trying to make
peace with their people.
The probabilities are that from the in,ensi'
~ fthe movement. il will have burned out
by the time the legislature o. this state meets
again in regular session, two years hence.
The extreme Of legislation on this question in
Kansas and perhaps other states, has injured
the cause.
The following from the San Antonio Ex-
press is pleasant resdiRg. The great des.
ideratum with west and north Texas for q
full development Of their various resources,
aud now that both sections have found coal,
they certainly should be congratulated:
The special dispatch published in our
telegraphic columns this morning from
Professor j. L TAFT, telling Of the discovery
ofextensive coal fields northwest from Fort
Davis Is of great importance to western
Texas. That coal ofgood quality is 10 be
found In western Texas has been the belief
Of many explorers of our own western wilds,
but this Ia the A st Authentic information We
have received Of the discovery of such coal
fields within reaching distance The location
of these coal deposits Is near the proposed
line Of the Southern Pacific railroad and
the western extension Of tho Sunset road
Goal of good quality in such a location will
DO available In northern Mexico ~ well as 10
tho Mining regions Of the Climate mountains
and Of New Mexico. Such coal can so be-
delivered in this city at much less cost than
the Indian territory coal, and If suitable Tor
tho manufacture of gas will have tho ten
dency to reduce the cost of gas in this city,
besides supplying manufacturing enterprises
here with the needed fuel.
Tho Oorsicans Independent is evidently
grandly impressed with the abilities and gea'
ius of Lord Beaconsaeld, and pays him the
following glowing tribute:
Hourly bulletins are issued about the con-
dition of Lord BsaconsAeld. What change
from thirty years ago. Then "Llttle Ben "
was only known to the public as bitter, UNI
compromising conservative who had no
more influence In the councils of her maj
esty's government than twelve year old
school boy, and whose attempts at speech
making were received with boots aud deri-
sive laughter. Now nation stands tip.toe,
and with bsted breath, trembles lest the
lightniDgs wave should ut any moment lash
the terrible lidings that death had "clamed
him as It's own" England has no brighter
name than his on her blazing scroll of
honor, and when his sun sinks behind thu
hills Of eternity, the light, which for more
than two decades has s'eered her ship of
state safe frjm the breakers that 80 often
threatened to engulph her realm, will have
paled into a midnight darkness more terrible
for Britain than the devastatiOns of internal
war. Tho world has known but one DIS
raeli. and will never know another.
The Waco Telephone assumes that the
Bernhard. has playei out and that Fore.
paushs $4,000 pretty woman must DO taken
up by tho pres. As this $4,000 beauty
once lived In this city, and other places in
Texas If we are not mistaken, che is ro'
likely to create much Of Juror in our state
The Telephone says:
Bernhardt has faded from Wow, and the
correct thing now for tho papers to do in the
interviewing limo is to SEQ Forepaugh's prize
beauty AMI get her views on current topics.
The "besuty" was interviewed no less than
six cen timesin Philadelphia last week to the
tune Of column and half each time, and
nearly as often In Washisgton. Being
merely beauty she wa, not very laxative,
and the reporter had to confine himself
principally to discussion of her charms.
The "beauty" was evidently pleased with The
attention, she received, and coolly suggested
that Bernhard was played out, and sho WAS
the coming woman.
The Morris County Banner sounds tho
keynote Of good s'nso and justice in the
following rebuke 10 one Of our society
short.cc mings aud gross wrongs. Irs moral
izng on the subjec. in question, is well
timed and we'll spoken. 1tsays:
In certain village, not a thousand miles
from Daingera,ld, young lady was deceived
and ruined by u handsome young man. She
10 now in drgrsce cooking for living,
spurned from society, distressed and art
broken, but this same young man, this sheep
in VOLTS clothn., Is received into tho hes,
society, petted and honored Ms though he wa.
as pure rs an angel. But there is u day of
vengeance. Society 10 partial, corrup, and
unjust In such matters but I'D knows where
the guilt lies, and II He has not black
record page against the destroyer of virtue,
Of happiness and all hope in this world then
we don't know what Justice Is. How long
will society curse womrn and csress msn
when the latter 10 ten.fold the most guilty!
The Calvert Democrat has he following
pleasant words to say Of Franklin, the new
county site Of Robertson county. I, /, a
funny idea though, that art can at all com
pare with nature in the beauty Of the ar.
