Uncle Daniel Of the Age doesn't pre-
pose that the country shall be bull
dozei by Spain's threat to withdraw
her concession in regard to sugar If
the treaty now under consideration be
not ratified by March 4, but sustained
by his unfaltering confidence in Texas
lie wraps the American flag about him
and rightly rays: If Spain should
build q wall of fire between her Cuban
sugar plantations and the United
States, the people Of this country would
still have sugar in their coffee and
cakes The sugar producing capacities
OF Texas, II fully developed and util-
lied, would supply sugar sufficient TO
meet the demand OF sll the people Of
the United States. We have probably
said something like this before In the
Age, but 1t is great truth and will
bear repeating.

or played out, but because he thinks

after he has attended school year or
two.
There must be an embryonic spring

porter. Last week he wrote about the
dwelling rosebuds," and this week

infant pig in the neighboring pen Is

The BRENNAN Banner is very severe
in It's criticitm of some OF the state
specials published by the Galveston
News. 1t gives point to its sarcasm
by referring TO q \ Svasota special

The Sweetwater Record "lights
square on both feetn and says: 1--WE
Will not publish any communication
in the Record unless the writer has
sand enough in his craw to stick his
own name to IL. An anonymous let
ter writer is half-brother to the assas
