THE PROULEM TO SOLVE,

GRAFTON. If IL be a question or morals,
simply, we should bs able TO differ and
get along without disturbing personal
or business relations, for in morals
and religion 1t Is conceded, In this
country, that every tub must stand on
It's own bottom, and each may erect i's
own standard. Ii it is a political
question, and therefore to be decided

went against prohibition by mainritles
ranging from 500 to LOO In Smith
county the majority Is about LOO; in
Waller county $40: in Red River

BOOMERANG.
The attempt TO read tho euti-saioon
men of the late campaign out OF tue
Democratic party, win prove yerita,
le boomerang to the Selt-constitnted
authorities that assumed that ofhc
Coke and Mills were passing popular
in Milan, but st8unch old gdheren.s

supported have Deliberately rejected

STRIKES AND SPECULATION.
The erowiug frequency Of strikes
in this country brings us neerer and
nearer to government control OF the
telegraph and railroad systems. The

and instrumentS Of commerce shall
not be at the mercy of the knights OF
Labor or Of an obstinate general man

letters and thpy will ask That their
freight arrive When, by their invoices,
il ought 70 arrive. The business men
of the country con as little afford to
have their freight delayed weeks and
months at d time - they can afford TO

courage of Coke, Ross and Mills, aud

Gibbs in his interview said he would
oppose prohibition in any shape, but
the Democratic party could not be
made TO oppose local option, "a 1t was

and 81 Democratic birth. Gibbs pro
poses to fight the question on It's
merits as an Individual at least until
it Is forced on the party as an issue
Coke, Mills and Ross had to stitfen
themselves by dragging the party into
a local fight on local question. Waco
is not content with getting the offices,
but wants to use the Democratic party
through resi- dent leaders to serve the
selfish ends of the town. Gibbs COST
