THE STATE CAPITOL.
Mr.. TAYLOR, contractor for building
the state lpitol left Austin in bad
humor, declaring that Texas had no
stone suitable Tor any such work.

LOCAL OPTION.
To Z, zee the question of local ortion
on the people of Tarrant County Is
simply proposition - permit Tar
rant County, - vote on the g lost!on OF
loca, option for the city OF Fort Worth,
for local option now prevails In every
p-ecic Il in the county, except tho one

natural consequence would be an OPP
portion that would OK md 70 the

the adoption of every device possible
TO elect men to the Legislature who
world vote against the sub
the constitution prohiling the sale
OF alchoholic liquors in the State.
There is nothing optional about the
present movement, so far rs this CITY
is concerned, and rather than see such
a movement end in success there are
numbers of men who would destroy
the prohibition now enforced in those
precincts which were permitted to de-
eide for themselves whether they
wanted local option or not. III the is

THE COMING PARIS.
Work on the iron bridge OF the
| frisco Railroad across the Arkansas
River at Fort Smith is progressing
day and night. 1t will be completed
early in the fall, when a grand for
ward movement on Paris is expected:
We do not think we are "blowing"
when we assert that Paris has brighter
railroad prospects than any other town

| STATE ENCAMPMENTs.
While we are having the commerce
of the country regulated by inter-
state legislation, it would be well to
regulate the militia of the States, so
that they might have some sort, of a
federal orgar 'zation. If we have
State encampments, why cannot we
have o general encampment Of repre-
sentatives of all the States, and COM
petition aroused that would lead to ex-
cellence in drill and an emulation be-
| tween the States3 The expenses
would be tritling and the interest
would more than repay the trouble.
AS an investment it would be profit
able.-TDenison Herald-News.
