SPECIMEN SENSATIONAL ROT.
In reference TO the election OF United

the Fort Worth Gazette says: Ii is not posi-

have the senatorial course entirely to him.

groomed for the race are being heard, and a

not few believe there lis something OF a

PROHIBITION.
We believe that if prohibition has failed
in such states as Maine, Vermont and Kan
sas, it would be simply folly for Texas to
try 1t; but the law has not only failed of ex-
ecutlon, but intemperance has increased in
those states which we have named
above. But aside from all this, such u
provision to our constitution could not
be adopted if it were proposed, but the fact
that democratic legislature had proposed
such an amendment would cause the oppo.
sitlon to make 1t an issue in the next polit-
lcal contest, and it might become more for
midable in the hands of republicans or in-
dependents than any matter of state policy
and hence we consider that prohibition in
Texas, when viewed from any standpoint,
is dangerous question, and VIC trust that
our legislature will not endanger the future
success OF our party by agitating such cues,

where it has been tried should be a suili-

where Tor six years he has grown in
influence, until he is now one of the
most solid men in that august body.
But the manner in which Mr.. Coke has
been reelected is one of the happiest
features in the result us demonstrated yes
terday. His election is unanimous, and,
when we say this, it means that every
senator and every representative cast bal
