THE Mobeetie Panhandle, regarding
the fence-cutting question, signif-
cantly says:
Many of our stoclzmen are commit
ting a grave error in not placing a suf-
ficient number of gates along the
lines of their fences. Even where
there are no roads, there should be
gates every mile or two, as in that
way may be averted the establish
ment of such a precedent as cutting
through. We have no fence troubles
in the Panhandle, and none is appre-
hended; but it would be well to give
due consideration in time to the
chances.

THE authorities of the United
States mint, under authority, of
course, of the United States treasury
department, seem determined to keep
gold coin out of circulation and to
render it simply a medium for the
convenience of banks. This is shown
by the fact that out of total gold
coinage of S23013,590 in the ten
months of this year, seven-eights was
in twenty-dollar pieces, a coin which
is too large for common use.

LET DEMOCRATS CONSULT.

THE STATESMAN gave only quasi
endorsement to the proposed citizens
nomination for the mayorality. 1t
has learned by experience that such
nominations have not that strength
required for success, and while it ac-
quiesced, conditionally, in the move.
ment, it did so with the expressed res
eryation, that Democratic organiza-
ton and nomination by Dem
ocrats would be the best
course to pursue. Mr.. Castleman
was suggested as the candidate at
the citizens meeting and now it ap-
pears that he will not make the race.
This fact shows what little thought
was expended upon the acts of the
meeting. Its work simply falls to the
ground from its own lack of substitute
ture, and amounts to nothing. THE
STATESMAN still wishes that Demo
cratic action could be taken. The
Democrats of this city would name
only a strong and capable man for
the mayoralty, and while it may
be hard at this late day to effect an
organization, it is, as we think, worth
the effort. How would it do to hold
a consultation of Democrats on Sat
urday night next, to decide what may
be done, or what it is best not to do.
There are many wise and cautious
Democratic heads in Austin, and it
would be well to have expressions
from them. A meeting would
by no means hurt the
part y in our midst. 1t has already
been hurt by too little consultation,
interchange of opinion, and now
could do no harm. 1t might do, in a
time Of great need, vast deal of pub
lie good. What say our Democrats
to consultation? Will some of them
speak out and give activity and
strength to our suggestions.
