retaliation. This WIS very wrong how
ever, as we do not believe That the owntfi
OF farms aro the ones causing the trouble
As n general thing feDce-cutters are the
Ahlltless, lazy vagab0pds OF the country
who own no property and are jealous be-
cause some OF their Deighbors are more In
lustrious and prospefous.-t5a Antonio

THE tPEAKERsuIP.
Itis said that Colonel Culberson will sup
mort Randall for speaker. We trust not
vet should he do so, II will doubtless be in
what he deems the hes. Interest OF his peo
pie. This will be his last term In congress
and we scarcely think he would mark his
farewell term with an obnoxious course
unless he knew he was better acquainted
with the real interests OF his constituents
than they were themselves Texarkana
Interstate.
MAKE ITwHAT 1T SHOULD BE
One week from to-day the Capital State
Fair association begins its ninth annual ex'
hibition. For nine years this organization,
composed of but few of our citizens, has
labored for the organization and perpetua-
ton OF an institution highly creditsble Ia
this community, and Tor these nine
wears business men and laborlng men Of
Austin have been benefited by its existence
while the stockholders OF the association
have never received dollar in return upon
investments. Thousands of dollars worth
of building material has been purchased in
Austin, and large sums OF money have
been spent and continue to be spent, an.
nually, in the employment of artisans and
IL e.. In, 70 re-
Hotel keepers and livery men have received
rich rewards, while every man who has run
any sort of passenger vehicle on the
made money. To trades people
these annual fairs have been q
source of much profit. Fair week has al.
ways been looked forward to as sort Of
holiday. Everybody has prepared for 1t,
investing in new clothes, new hats and
boots and shoes. new buggies and carria'
ges, or they have had old ones renovated
They have bought new horses and harness
and the grocers assert that annually it has
been season OF decided profit to them
since everybody entertains visiting friends
Every local business is III some way bene.
fitted, since even in the professions the oc'
casion brings lawyers and clients, agents
and employers, together. Such is only q
superficial view of the effect produced on
business by these annual exhibitions, and
such being the etfect.-[Austin States

THE TEXAS UNIVERSITY.
Attention is called to communication,
regarding an error committed Dy the regents
of the university, which could have been
and ought to have been corrected before
now. There is not a particle Of doubt that
numbers of students are kept from matrlcu
lating because they have been led. by the
preliminary announcement OF the regents
to understand that students can matricu'
late only after they have been subjected to
q rigid examination in studies, set forth IN
that announcement as requisites fol
matriculation. Not q moment should be
lost in correcting this false impression
Had the preliminary announcement not
gone forth, conveying the false impression
il is reasonable to presume there would al
this time be two students In attendance on
the university to where there IS now one.-

CARLISLE FOR SPEAKER.
The Galveston News advocates the cleo
ton of Hon. ]. Q. Carlisle, for speaker. II
the News will look over the proceedings OF
congress, it will find that he was one of the
bitterest opponents of the river and harbor
bill-whicE of course, if his views were car
ried out, would have defeated any appro-
priation for Galveston. Randall is a charm
ing fellow in private life, as well as in many
other respects, but for all that he would
prove bad speaker for the west and south
and this juncture.-[W Waco Examiner. Why
