STATE PRESS REVIEW.

The Lewisville Head Light is indignant Of
the repeated falsehoods published about
Texas by northern journals, especially the
Boston papers. 1t copies from the Boston
Post the following paragraph;
The entire population of Texas town
turned out to escort man into the place.
And vet he didn't rejoice at the honor.
They wanted TO lynch him.
And then il comments thuswise:
Now, that is model paragraph. Neither
tho name of tho man nor his crime nor the
name of the town was giun. So, of course,
the Post has it all its own way. There can
be no refuting such Q charge, which does
moi contain sufficient wit to pass joke.
Does the Post know that only few years
ago, Eli Perkins lectured all over Texas, and
was listened to with respectful attention
Could anything of this kind happen in any but
alswsbiding community Not only that but
Eli promises to come again this summer and
repeat the dose, and yet there is no outburst
Unpopular violence. 1t Is barely possible
that the Post is joking. Ifso, all such jokes
should be cOnsplcuousIy labelled, to prevent
mistakes. 1t would be a good idea for the
Boston editor, when he fixes up one of these
Jokes, to pattern after the schoolboy that
drew the picture OF q horse; write under the
words, "this is q horse" Then II will kinder
do. Texans are getting tired of these outra-
geoas lies, and cannot be blamed Tor raisings
muss If the thing isn't stopped pretty soor.
What does the editor Of the Headlight
propose to do to stop these wholesale SIAN
ders? Is ne thinking Of going up north and
cowhiding few editors! Don Quixote once
charged windmill with lance at rest but he
didn't make nything by the rash act. Let
them alone. They are only gnawing file,
for mendscity always reacts.
The Denton Daily Press gives bit Of news
that is news indeed. There 10 no one that it
will astonish more than Mr.. Paul Bremond.
It ssys:
Old Paul Bremond, tho Oldest railroad man
In the state, and now the grand tycoon of the
Galveston, Houston & Henderson road, Is
going to throw the iron rails away on said
road and replace them with steel rails. Paul
Bremond is the father Of the Houston s.
Texas Central, be was the leading spirit in
that road for many years. ARd be is almost
the sole owner and builder Of the Galveston,
Houston & Henderson road.
Mr.. Bremond has no more 10 do with the
Galveston, Houston & Henderson railroad
than the tycoon of Japan has, and further
more, be never did have anything 10 do with
It in any shape, manner or form. He owns
the East s. West Texas narrow gauge rail-
road, every foot of which he has built at bis
own expense, and it is completed now
something near hundred miles east Of
Houston.
The Denton Monitor discusses the exodus
question in practical and sensible way
saying:
The last programme of the republican
party is to settle New Jersey with southern
negroes, in order to overcome the small
msjority which the democrats have in that
state. This has been sharp trick which the
republican party has resorted to 10 carry all
the doubtful northern sTtes, and while 1t has
worked we'll as political scheme, in enabling
them 10 carry Indiana, Ohio and New
York, We fail to see that tho Iegro will be Of
any benefit to these states. only to be used as
Htool by the republican party. The negro is
indoent aud of an inferior race, and he will
have demoralizing effect on any commun.
ity In which be is placed, and we sincerely
believe the north cannot do us any greater
permanent good than to relieve US Of the
worthless negroes in the south and take them
TO themselves. All the negroes who are
worth having 10 the south lave sense enough
10 know that the cotton field is their proper
place, and the southern people their bes,
friends. II is true this exodus movement
causes some inconvenience 10 our planteri
for the time, but the great advantages which
the south has over the north rs spoor mani
country will soon cause the thrifty laborerl
from the north and from Europe 70 take tn,
plsce Of these shiftless negroes II thu
Yankee can utilize the negro, we say let hin
have him. The south and especially Texas
can we'll afford 10 exchange him for the In
telligent immigrants that sre now hocking II
from all parts Of the globe.
The Waco Telephone copies from III
Galveston News the following extract fror
dispatch said by the Telephone to hsv
been sent from Dallas:
But for his Incorporate speech and attemI
TO bolster up the senatorial charge Of politics
intimidation in the south, he would have bee
installed, his competitor, Judge Good, hA'
/, ing refused TO contest his election. Dali
prides herself not only on the freedom
speech, but ON the license of abuse, whiC
ehsracterizes her public speakers Of all pc
ltlcsl compilations
The Telephone then proceeds to commo
and reassn upon the extract as follows:
A reading of the first four lines
tho above extract does not look very muc
as though dallas prides herself on Il
freedom Of speech" allowed speakers
all political compilations" Stone was eth,
eligible or inelieible--t could be no mil
die grounds-aud whether he made an iii
temperate speech" or emainsd silent sbou
not have afforded excuse for rejecting
accepting him a. mayor. From Whist v
have read Of the matter II appears that
was clearly ineligible, ON account of 4
residence qualification and that
rejection was ominently proper.
10 hard 10 believe, though, that dsmocra
were going TO permit his inaugurstio
knowing him to be ineligible. had no not o
hibited the indiscretion Of making ian Il
temperate speech" And yet the News 90
respondent deliberately asserts that this W
the secret Of the protest which resulted
ousting Mr.. Stone. The republicans At Da
las could not ask for a more valuable cal
paign document In the next local conte
than the News dispatch.
