EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Burgess, OF Seguln, the boss gerrymander.
THE Missouri newspapers are coming to us
ladened with Texas. The Missouri editors
have reached home.
If the Brennan Banner man doesn't look
out he will argue himself out of the democratic
party. Every step towards pure reason,
patriotism and common sense leads away
from that party.
THE Waxahachie Mirror man thinks
Wash Jones vote to seat Lynch, the negro
congressman, did not do him much good with
the democracy. Why, Hucklee, Chalmers
has turned independent sine he was turned
out ofcongress.
A "sHEEP man. asks through the Ban
dera Bugle what is the cause of "warts on
sheep?" Warts on sheep are triAing affairs,
but if "sheepman" will give his flock dose
of tarif-for -revenue-only-democracy, warts
will disappear-with the flock.
THE Fort Worth daily Democratic Advance
gets to discussing the political outlook and be
this summer will be early and hot. Yes, your
democratic wire-pullers will find the wires
heated this summer, and don't you neglect it.
THE Waco Examiner calls the sheep inter
ests the "golden hoof," and intimates that it
has somehow got planted in the neck of the
democratic party, because it may be that il
the tariff is revised it will be revised where it
will hurt the democracy most and the republi
cans least. Quite natural-there is heap Of
human nature about these republicans.
'IF l believed, as is charged, that the
creation of this commission is for the purpose
of, and would result in an unreasonable and
unnecessary delay in the revision and reduc
ton OF the tariff, would vote against it. p
Upson's speech.
Mr.. Upson's constituency wont delay and
don't want revision or reduction and Epson
has attempted to straddle the republican
and democratic horses in the circus at the same
time and his legs are too short.
EVIDENTLY Mr.. Scott, the gentleman who
delivered the address at the opening of the
Wool Growers convention, has little faith in
the democratic party coming into power, for
he says: Il am among those who do not be-
lieve that any man in this convention will live
to see the day when free trade will completely
triumph in America and ruin the many fos
tered industries which are to-day making US,
as nation, great and rich"
A. S. BoyNToN got II cents for his clip Of
$500 pounds. The income from his flock Of
1894 sheep this year is over $4,000, with an
actual outlay of not more than $Iooo.-Hico
Times.
Take off the tariff and Mr.. BIS wool will
drop to IaH or even less, and yet tariA-for-
revenue-only democrat gets BIS vote for con-
gress For reckless, liberal fellows our Texas
sheepmen beat the world; they'll risk their
whole flock of sheep on democratic NOM
inee.
THE AVERAGE American official would be
likely to make sensation in Japan where the
office holder must be a very seedy patriot. A
bulletin of the total annual amount of expen-
ditures of the government shows it within $2o,
ooo, ooo-a sum which our Congress would
get away with in an afternoon. 1t might not
be bad idea for government immigration
bureau to import few Japanese statesmen.
Let it spread circular placard over the walls
of Yokohama addressed to that heather, and
bearing the legend $50 west young man.
the Japan exile is not celestial fraud.
MAJ. Tom OcHILTRRE puts the situation
in the following pointed way to correspond
ent of the News: "This administration ought
certainly to be respected and esteemed by the
people of our state. Think of how we came
up here begging year after year during the
dominance of the democratic party in the
house, and glad to get from their reluctant
hands the merest triblets in the way of appro-
priations. and now the first year of the return
of the republicans we get fully one-tenth of the
whole river and harbor appropriation. We
have asked for years for a public building
commensurate with the vast increase of our
business, but Sam Randalps eagle eye never
caught the 'Mr. Speaker ola Texas member
to grant US One."
