The preponderance of pubic senti.
ment Is now against the customs and
i practices that few years ago made
san Antonio attractive TO "a large
class OF people, whose presence was
eourted, aud what was then tolerated
with mt least some degree of COM
pancy, is now revolving TO tue gen
erai sentiment. Of the people.
Andihc general sentiment Is what
all should defer to and
public sentiment is the only in
s,rumentality that can correct the
evil.
According to the Statesman the "Sa-
loonuticr OF Austin has an eye to the
main chance. That paper says;
The saloon men knew what they
were about when they mctamorphosed
the CAPT OF section Of Congress avenue.
The Dallas Times seems to have
responded of Dallas enterprise which
was 10 build an opera house and pave
the Sreets--and with moisture in its
eye, and on the end of its nose--it
says:
We sadly lay the corpses of the new
opera house and the bois dare pave.
inont side by side.
Meanwhile the work on the Fort
Worth Opera House goes bravely on,
and arrangements arc well-nigh
perfected for paving the streets.
The Fdnnin County AdUocote pre-
s,nts its readers with creditablo six
page Christmas edition, containing an
elaborate review of the business and
industries Of the entire county Ii
says, truthfully, shat:

martyr of Goliad Is one of the weslthi-
est. most populous and productive
tbuntItN III tiit llIOiQ oASit vi 4tAuS.

The BRENNAN Bouner usually very
accurate falls into very common err
ror that the legislature can revise the
homestead laws Of Texas. 1t says
Among the many things requiring
the attention Of the legislature is a re-
vision Of the homestead law, which is
now used by INSCRIPTIONS men TO

Tho Brennan Banner has a good
word to speak for der Drummer"

The same paper gives the six

paper, ably and intelligontly edited.
Tho Laerto Ecbo gives It's opinion ks
TO how paper should be edited, pfc
ferring, it seems, precept to example.

a newspaper should labor, nalnely:Ehe
decentralization of news and theI re-
Election of the views of the pebnle
whom it claims Ia represent.
