The suggestion Of six-years term Ia
not without merit. Every four wears

It Is An Issue.

Free grass Is an issue. A month ago
THE GAZETTE told the organs of the
| land syndicates and the pasture princes
that the Houston convention would
have to face the music, but these self
constituted organs of the dear little
school children declared with one voice
that the people had nothing to say
about the disposition of the public
lands, that the legislature in its wisdom
should and could decide what was
best, that it was question of legisla-
tive detail merely and that The GA
zE1-rE was an organ of the bullionaires
anyhow.
The Republican party, realizing and
appreciating the popular demand,
placarded their convention with free
grass, and the undergraduates organs
at once attributed this action to the
people of Fort Worth because the Re
publican convention met in this city,
and some even insinuated that THE
GAZETTE was going to bolt the Demo
cratic party and go off after Indepen-
dent or Republican gods. just what
free grass has to do with the national
issue that divides the two parties no
one has yet explained, but it is deemed
necessary to prejudice the public mind
against free grass and THE GAZETTE,
and truth or falsehood Is all the same
for the purpose in view.
Now, we would like to ask men who
are not afflicted with mental jaun-

merits Of free grass have to do with

What a Newspaper Did For Bank.


There is such thing as carrying
newspaper humor too far. Practical
jokes may do on the first of April, but
they are unreasonable at other times.
AT least this is the unbiased opinion
of the officers of the Norwalk Savings
bank in the town of Norwalk, Conn,
who have just had to tread the wine
press because OF the local papers PEN
chant for practical joking. Last Fri
day evening week ago the weekly
paper at Norwalk came out with a
lugubrlous article headed, "a Norwalk
Bank in Trouble The Norwalkers
read, discussed 1t, and then grew ex-
cited. Saturday morning when the
NorwalN Savings bank opened its door
a line of eager depositors, with checks
In their hands, stood on the sidewalk.
They were frantic for their money,
aud one by one they were paid until
the teller had handed out S27 900 over
the counter. The hank officials were
astounded and could not account fol-
the run. Then the editor of the local
paper appeared on the scene, and
standing on the bank steps, told the
crowd how his article was all a joke
and referred to the gravel bank in the
edge of the village. The depositors
dispersed and the run was over. II
was close shave for the bank, though
and to their dying day the officers will
utter hearty Amen. to the sentimen,
once expressed by now distinguished
Texas congressman, "D-n the news
