SENSIBLE.
II is said that Major Burke, of the New
Orleans hmes-DemoCrat, has abandoned
ms intention of starting another daily AT
Dallas. He Is sensible, AS we can't see no
he can very well improve on or supercede
the HERALD, which ranks with the best
dailies OF the south Bonham Advocate.
LUCKY.
Some of the states nave laws sending u
person to tue penitentiary for trying to
commit suicide. Such laws are supremacy
ridiculous. What does man care for hu.
man laws when he has decided to take his
own life' The Legislatures that passed such
laws were lucky in escaping the fool.

DON'T THROW AWAY THEIR MONEY.
1t is an unjust conclusion to suppose that
advertisements axe merely TO excite atten-
ton without rontai ing truth. No reliable
firm Will do such thing, and 1t Is an mex

| SUGGEST A REMEDY, THEN.
| The present railroad lobby at Austin pre-
sent so many plausible arguments against
railroad legislation that the Legislature has
become muddled. II is u selfevident tact
that railroads charge no more for freights,
say from Houston to Denisol, than to in
| termediate points, no matter how shorlthe
distance, which shows that stroug neces-
sty exists Tor remedial legislation, yet the
railroad lobbyist comes along and has some
thing to say about "long hauls," shows the
net earnings of the road to be lar behind
the gross receipts, talks elegantly about the
progress of the Empire State ofthe west, and
how damaging it would be to stop railroad
building, and all such buncombe designed
to prevent legislation that would force then
