Prof. Hogg,


The Marshall Herald has this de-
served and complimentary mention of
a gentleman who has been referred to
by several other papers in the state as
a suitable candidate for superintendent
of public schools:
THE GAZETTE, aside from Its free
grass m,nia is decidedly Fort Worth advo-
cate, and 1t Is rare that IL misses or overlooks
an opportunity to "blow" the Fort. It's
then a little singular that IT has overlooked
one Of the chief features OF credit, honor and
advantage to the city, that is It's system OF
public schools, which have been brought to
such degree of perfection by the Jealous
and earnest efforts of superintendent Alex.
Hogg. While some OF It's prominent citizens
have been mentioned for governor and other
minor offices. 1t wouI i'd, seem a very lit thing
for THE GAZETTE tosbrlms forward Prof.
Hogg as a suitable man for the position OF
| state superintendent OF education. Then let
the question be with the people, through the
convention, whether the Office should be
filled by an educator or n lawyer

A Wall Flowers Antics.

Our sprightly contemporary. the
Dallas Times, has played the herd-law
fiddle until its music has got into the
heels of that ancient dame, the Her
aid, who Frances into the set and
capers about among the dancers as
friskily as a maiden in her teens. AS
this is leap-year 1t is perhaps permissi-
BILE for neglected wall flowers to put
themselves forward in the hope that
their decayed charms will make a
"catch;' but the hope must appear
Elusive to the antique female in this
case, who has passed her climacteric
and gone into desuetude. Like an old
belle, she must learn to bear neglect
while the attractions of more youthful
favorites charm the tickle throng.
Take the advice of one who respects
helpless old age, dear Mrs. Herald, and
don't expose yourself to ridicule by
kicking up your heels in this free-grass
dance. Powder and rouge and false
teeth do not deceive people, and your
authenticated rival with her natural
attractiveness has caught all the herd
law beauX.

and organs of the members OF that
board cried cruelty IT. and called us

that 1t was almost read out of the

made from the letter to all who will

The Next Legislature.

There is no more import mt question
to be settled by the next legislature than
the disposition of the public lands. Let
the voters in each county in Texas
send only such men to the legislature
as will represent the public will on
this vital question. If county wants

that county elect a man who will re-
fleet the wishes of his county, and then
properly represent it. No question to

men are elected who will represent the

candidate. Conventions may be
manipulated, but at the polls the voice
of the people is the voice of God.

Jones, Speech.

There is q curious fact about our
Representative Jones' speech on the
tariff question, mentioned in the
Washington Post, that the demand
fer it grows with the lapse of time.
Mr.. Jones has been compelled to have
it stereotyped, and the sale has grown
from 500 10 1000 each week. Blount
of Georgia says that Jones has made
the speech for the million. 1t Is of the
essence of simplicity, directness ard
naturalness, and its logic is irresistible.
Mr.. Springer is sending the speech
over his district, and Cox is distrib-
uting it through Tammany hall. Mr..
Jones finds it impossible to reply to
letters asking for the document, and
the honorable gentleman, it seems, has
made ten strike.

enemy, and can say harder things of
her than anybody else, though so
lately he deemed 1t heaven TO bask In
her smiles. Something Of the feeling
of rejected sultor must be the animus
OF the Houston Posts snappishness
toward Wash Jones. The types that
are now abusing Jones In the Post are
the same instruments that a few
months since were mads to fawn upon
him and plead his cause with the peo-
pie against the Democratic party.
Now Jones says to his late champion:
Hast thou not spoke like thunder on my

Been sworn my soldier? bidding me depend
Upon thy stars, thy fortune and thy strength
Ard dost thou not fall over 70 my foe?

The Land Lpase Policy,


The leasing of any public land in
Texas Is grand speculation for the
syndicates who have succeeded in ac.
quiriDg large tracts of land, as it takes
from them all competition of the state
school lands. The cattle men
lease the lands, and the man
who brings his family to settle
on farm must buy from the
syndicate. The cranky idea of leasing
lands and that other herd-law folly
has worked very serious iojury to

Plain Talk.

sembled at Colorado City on the Dist
inst, adopted the following resolu-
tions:

not be bound by political letters, but rs free
and Independent citizens will support the
rarty or men for Office in sympathy With our
cause and pledged to sur port such measures
as will give our industry the protection 1t re-
quires.
Resolved, that we oppose the present herd
law as in force against wool growers and de-
mand It's repeal.
Resolved, that we are not In favor of the
lease OF the school Ian IS, and advocate their
sale To actual settlers only.
Resolved, that we demand representation
In the legislature according TO populations
| and favor a constitutional amendment re-
During a census TO be ordered by the ne 1t
legislature, giving new apportionment to
| the state.
Resolved, that we protest against the rul-
ings of the land board in disposing OF the
public domain, that Its powers are unconsti-
tutional, therefore we favor the repeal of the
law by which Tins board was called into ex-
istepce.
Resolved, that the administration of the
general land office merits our disapprobation,
SO that the best interests OF the state would
be enhanced by change.
Really, it begins to look as if every
man in the Northwest. save q few
large land owners (who see the herd
law in the distance), are cattle kings,
free-grass barons and bullionaires.

OUR information is that some Of the
counties in Texas believe that if the
lease law is annulled they cannot lease
their county school lands. This is a
mistake. The right of the counties to

at all by the annulment of the law au-
