THE NEWS AND THE LAND BOARD,
The Galveston News persists In be.
smirching Governor Ireland and the
land board, and writes sophistry for
logic, inuendo for accusation and non
committal generalities for defense and
conclusion. The course of the News
in assailing the laud board, and re-
fuslng to take up the gauntlet cast at
its feet by tho resolution of the board,
can hardly DO appiauded or even OK.

have to be made up by other taxation,

That IL Is better to have one gooa
town in a county than u half dozen

Kaufman it brought ~ cents per

REFORMS.
IL Is q matter ct mark, that Of tho
two Democratic State conventions held |
last week in Ohio and Mississlppl, both |
seemed TO DO inspired by diitrust of |
anything approaching an innovation |
IN men and measures. Hoadly, who |

sissippi, who Is just now completing a
four years term as governor, were both |
renominated with practically no oppo-
sition. Neither dove tind any material |
departure in the Platforms adoptod.
These two conventions represented |
IDEAS which had triumphed as Demo- |
cratic ideas IN two memorable cam.
paigns, and the thoughtful and con.
herVative party loaders resisted tho
pressure brought 10 bear by that very
respectable but impracticablee element.
