The Man With the Hoe

From the Dallas Times.
According to the tax rolls and data
in the comptroller's office, there are
only fifteen thousand bullionaires lit
tie and big, and when they buck up
against three hundred and seventy
five thousand taxpayers who are pay
ing taxes to educate the children of
Texas, when the school land should
Weld one-half this revenue, they will
find it the Iiveliest roundup they ever
engaged in. The mau with the hoe
and the man with the handsaw are
slow at figures, but when they do see
a "pjnt" their spinal column gets aM-
full stiff. When he gets thoroughly
aroused the man with the hoe can
turn up in more different places and
phazes than ever did the wandering
Jew. They will be at the Houston
convention.
