The arms that were once clutchod in
this community now hang as limp at
the side as if the bewldering grip had
been lost when the last Ptolmy shut
up shop. So much for that swarthy
little Georgian called Sam Jones.

BEAORE EXPLICIT.
The Houston Post, in commenting
on some paragraphs in the Ball, has
twics insinuated that bargain exists
between Gov. Irelend, Sui Ross and
tho Waco Examiner. The Post doesn't
say so in so many words, but it leaves
such an inference. The Post should
be more explicit in It's remarks and
not contine itself so much TO innuendo,
10 which an open. frank statement is
always FAR nero preferable. Il Marlin

INDIANA STONE.
Texas really don't need a 5000, 900
capitol building. But the proposition
to have that much money spent in
Texas by capitalists In erecting fine
building that would advertise the
State, and the whole job to paid for
in idle lands, looked tempting enough.
We get the fine building and the lands
still remain In the State to be deyel-
oped and improved But If we send
to Indiana for stone to build with, 1t
will be an advertisement that will do
Texas no good. Suppose the stone is
hauled from Indiana to build tho
Texas capitol, won't it kill Off great
deal of eioquenCe about "the glorious
resources Of Texas" The voices OF
patriotic legislators in years to come
will sound rather old, If they have to
echo and re-echo III gorgeous halls
built with northern stone, especially
when 1t is remembered that several
