TEXAS AND THE AMERICAN HOG.
Texas Is more of u beet Than pork-rais-
ing section, bat the Texas delegation, we
note, has enough national pride to rsIy To
the defense OF the American hog. Mr.. Res.
gan made n very neat little speech on this
subject last week, coniendinS that II France
aud Germany DO not cease their proscrip'
tive policv re,aliatory measures WILL be war
ranted. -[DPcatur Tribune.
THE EMPIRE of TsNis.
What an empire Texas will be in the early
inture. Though it has organized sixty
eight new counties within the past year II
has terr tory still uuWganized larger thsu
the great state of Georgia. Its taxable
property has within year increased Sl3),
COZ, 900 and the number OF Immigrants has
been very great. Texas has room enough
and productive capaci,y enough for she
home OF forty million people. And 1t
~ill have them within the lifetime OF
men now living. -[Colcmsn's Rural World,
PERPLExING PROBLEM.
4 Texarkana darkey borrowed gua on
the Arkansas side and came over into
Texas and sold II. He was arrested hut
the lawyers are In quaudtry 70 know
where the fraud was committed. Whether
IN borrowing the gun or selling II, or
whether 10 was double.barrelled fraud
begun in Arkansas and concluded in Texas,
and IL so how can crime be divisible and
states? Texarkana is fruitful OF such per
picking problems,-[Deca'ur Tribune.
ONE OF THE BEST.
By their resolution endorsing the admin
istratiop of Governor Ireland last week I,
our legislature have expressed the senti-
ments Of at least ree.tourths OF the .peo-
ple OF Texas, ard We think thai they have
resolutions at the present time. Governor
Ireland has proven himself worthy the
trust confided to him BY the people. He
has the back bone, and is to-day the best
governor that Texas has ever had, and his
majority in November for reelection will
prove him the most popular.-fColorade

The San Antonio Light advances the
opinion that the fenoc.cuttiDg business Is
likeiy to eliminate in an incurable split in
the democratic party OF the state, and to be
followed al no distant Gay oy q division oil
the state. The Light being republican
would Of course be delighted 10 see the
democratic party divided. A division Of
the state y not party question an We
honestly baiieve that large msiorify oi
the people ef Texas are opposed to anv sdch
notion. Fence cutting will die q natural
death and the democracy will hold Us own.

MOTIONS PENSION.
On the Sth OF January Congressman
Tn rock morton introduced u bill granting q
pension to A. b. Norton, former postmaster
at Dallas. As the bill was introduced on
the anniv, rsary OF the battle OF New
Orleans, Congressman Throckmorton must
have sso.rtained that Norton 10 the only
survivor Of that great battle. Old Throck.,
a. he 10 familisrly called in Texas. was
born within less than o hundred miles oi
TIE home OF Old Hickory, and the old
soldiers of that grand old democrat will
ever find friend in the Texas congress
man.-[Graham Leader.
DEATH TOO SEVERE.
We should guard against everything pre-
venting the enforcement OF law,
or inAicting OF punishment ioi
due process Of law and through the estsb
lished courts. The death pensity is toe 81
we're for the ofIenss of 6nce-cut,ing. \
tentiary would stop Il. for the man who
would cut . fence under such . penalty
would do % under any penalty, even that
Of death. Law abiding people, However,
while not approving the measure under
consideration, % Q Law, will applaud the
sentiment that actuated its suther.-lSsn
