Galveston is suffering from the exac-
lions of the fire insurance companies.
which bear heavy on the heels of the big
fire. San Antonio has always suffered
from fire insurance extortion. 1t is plain
fact, susceptible of statistical proof, that
our fire loss is probably the smallest of
any city of equal size in the union, and
yet the premiums charged are equal to
those IN cities that are periodically burned

The Austin STATESMAN came out in its new
form Tuesday morning, and with an en-
tireiy new dress. 1t is SO much of an inn

paper. Its appearance is very much i'm

proud of The STATESMAN, for it is good
and trusty newspaper and one that is quite
representative in ell respects The new
form is simply the demand of the times

The AUSTIN STATESMAN has clothed it
eight-page form. The Times has always
contended that THE STATESMAN had one of
the best fields in the state and is glad to
see it taking advantage of its opportuni-
ties. There is constant improvement in
the paper and its new dress and tasteful
appearance are not only good for its
readers, but will stimulate all who do
work upon it. The pencil men like to see
their work put up in shape that they
can feel proud of. THE STATESMAN is
thrice welcome in this sanctum in its new
form and dress.-San Antonio Times.

The Austin STATESMAN comes to us this
week in quarto or eight-page form and
in every respect shows vast improve
ment on its former self. Austin, as the
capital of our great state, has long felt
the dire need of frst-class daily paper
and The STATESMAN is the journal to fill
the vacancy. May success and good for
tune attend its efforts: Up alestila a dgq-

The Austin STATESMAN has at last as
sumed an eight-page form, and with new
facilities can put before criticising pub
