The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1885-12-17
TEXAS TIDINGs.

MAN thinks "Uncle Daniel" is not familiar
with. But "Uncle Daniel knows a warm,
lucious, juicy, fresh, plump lip, from a
lip that is cold and dry, and hard and
sharp, as well as he knows hawk from a
handsaw.-Houston Age.
Uncle Daniel must have journeyman
who runs the Age when the old man is
absent.
Ex-Mayor Grace of New York has sued
the World for 100000 damages. If he
gets judgment for that sum, the Worlds
leading editorial will be, so, to Grace how
great debtor I'm constrained to be-
Fort Worth Gazette.
That is gem of paragraph. If you
think you can excel it, try it.
The Austin STATESMAN calls the Paris
Balance Wheel the "Blanco Wheel" We
are glad there is a mistake.-The Star In
dicator.
The STATESMAN is not. The compositor
made the mistake, and the editor did not
notice it until it was too late.
The Austin STATESMAN says an enter
prising evening paper is help to morn
ing paper in more ways than one. 1t
might have added that morning paper

the Post and the Age, of this city, would
have illustrated the truth of the observa-
tion.-Houston Age.
Your first proposition is eminently ker-
rect, as some evening papers would feel
lonely without one in their midst. No re-
Election on the Age, neither is this a
threat.
The party to whom "Uncle Dan" gener-
ously loaned his overcoat and umbrella
during the rainy spell is requested to re-
turn them, especially the oyercoat The
weather is getting cold, and Uncle Dan"
needs it in his business. Marlin Ball
Served your "Uncle Dan" right. No
place outside of Houston should have an
"Uncle Dan," and the sooner yours freezes
to death the better.
Vanderbilts death scarcely creates
ripple in the hurry and buzz of the bust
ness world. He was not an enviable lire.
A man who could amass such an immense
fortune, while witnessing such misery
around him every day, deserves to die
Houston Herald.
W-h-e-w!!
Since the Houston Age was boycotted
all the ladies in Houston send it a notice
for its "birth" column as often as they
can. The Age is in clover now.
The Austin STATESMAN says all men have
followers, but some men are only followed
by the police Houston Age.
The STATESMAN says heap of things
you fellows should heed.
The Austin Daily STATESMAN has made
its appearance at the Chronicle Office as
an eight page paper and rugged out in
handsome new dress. 1t is now one of the
handsomest papers in Texas, and takes it's
place in the front rank with the best pa
pers in the state.-Cleburne Chronicle.
The STATESMAN will have to do its level
best to merit all the compliments bestow-
ed. 1t will, however, try and prove equal
to the occasion.
The STATESMAN, under its new editorial
management has improved wonderfully,
and now. with its new outft, it is the peer
OF any daily in@he state Long may It
thrive, is the honest wish of the Register.
= sherman Register.
AS the Register is one of the leading
weeklies in this state, it's praise goes

plimepts our ''Walkabout' in this wise:
DR.. R. R. Gilbert is the member of the
STATEsMANs staff, who is regular
"Walkabout' when he writes.
The Waco Examiner says it "has but
one desire, and it is this: to serve the
largest number of people, the good of the
greatest number" There is a big differ
ence between it and the Mail, for the
Mails desire is "to confer the greatest
possible good upon every man without
detriment or injury to a single one."-
Fort Worth Mail.
The STATESMAN has two desires. Desire
first: To give its patrons all their money
calls for. Desire second: To make money
for its proprietors. 1t means business
The Austin STATESMAN says, $50 the
general shops for the Gould system in the
southwest have been commenced in Hous-
ton, with force of 1000 men, and $780,
600 are to be expended in their erection.
This brings Houston to the front some
more"
The STATESMAN is mistaken, it is the
Southern Pacific company, and not the
Gould system, that will erect their shops
here. Work has not yet been commenced

Waco has got another No. 1, Vol. 1.
This time it is 7x9 prohibition sheet It

The Laredo Times paragrapher is so
full of philosophy it is continually oozing
out, like gum from cherry tree. Here is
specimen:
The wind is unseen, but it cools the
brow of the fevered one, sweeie1s the
summer atmosphere and ripples the sur
face of the lake into silver sparkles of
beauty. So goodness of heart, though in
visible to the material eye, makes its
presence felt, and from its effects upon
surrounding things we are sure of its ex-
istence.
As that is 'leaded" in the Times, and
