SWEET GIRL GRADUATE.
How sweet girl graduate is dressed
and how she looks on the platform
when she reads her vsledictory, will
be noticed and long remembered.
How she rates in scholarship and how
she will live when pspa fails in bust
ness can be considered at LEISURE

Il, PROHIBITION,
Let the people elect no man to the
Il Legislature next year who will not
pledge himself to do all he can to make
the "using OF tobacco penitentiary
o1ense,' and also to stop t. 3"eating of
meat" except on Sunday. If the Pro-
hibitionists can't regulate fellows
appetite, the FIT. would like 10 know
who cam Paris Free-Tongue.
NEW GINNERIEs WANTED.
There seems to be decided want for
new ginning machinery, for the "flne
cotton" which requires different sp-
plication of mechanism from anything
in the market. The new gin must be
able to produce longer fiber of cotton,
or Clint" than the saw gin is capable
OF handling.-l Denison Herald-News.
The discussion of Indiana stone has
brought out the fact there exists as
fine building stone in Texas as can be
found in any part of the Union. 1t be-
comes, however, a matter of the ex-
pense OF quarrying and transportation
that the contractors have taken into
consideration, rather than any love for
native Texas stone.-[ Denison Herald

TAKING 1T CooLY.
The Banner is in receipt of q circular
letter from Messrs. A. ii. Belo n Co.
publishers of the Galveston News,
stating that the management OF that
paper nave determined upon the issu-
ance OF new paper at Dallas. We
have alluded to this matter and have
nothing TO add to what has already
been said on the subject Brenham

BAD BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.
Thirty millions of land contributing
no revenue! That is the condition i1
which Texas is placed. These thirty
millions Of acres properly managed
would stop taxation for the public
schools; would make the State Uni
Yersity "of the first class" as required
by the constitution, and would give
something to the asylums.-I Austin
Statesman.
ADVICE TO CANDIDATES,
The Galveston News asks why the
senatorial campaign in this State
should not be opened. Certainly, WHY
notY Ii any newspaper has any grudge
against any aspirant for the place, let
1t urge its claims this year. There is
nothing like premature boom TO kill
OH candidate. The wise man is like
Mark Twain's darky-he win clay low
and SEQ what is gwine to come outen
it."-[Waco Day.
ONE LAWYER IN HEAVEN.
There is said to be one lawyer In
heaven. How he got there is not pos
1tlvely known, but it is conjectured
that he passed himself Off for an editor
and slipped in unsupported. When
his dodge was discovered, they
searched The realms of felicity in all
their length and breadth for another
lawyer TO draw up the papers for his
ejectment, but they couldn't find one,
and OF course ho held tho fort.-[St. j o

THE PRIDE AND HEART OF TEXAS.
A poor excuse is said to be better
than none, MessTs. Swain, Walsh and
Templeton say there is nothing in
either the law or the contract for tho
capitol building which requires the
use OF Texas stone, There may be
nothing in either the law or the con-
tract, but there is in the pride and
heart OF tho people VI Texas and these
three accommodating politicians will
realize II sooner or later Galveston
Tribune,
NOT ROOM ENOUGH,
AS we have had occasion TO remark
before, it IS departure in journalism
the success Of which is not by any
means certain, even under the man
agement OF the enterprising propri
etors of the News. We believe, con
sidorlng the present population and
development Of Texas, that there Is not
now room for another paper of equal
enterprise and ambition OF the News.
And, in addition, North Texas has al
ready several dailies that are not to be
passed by unnoticed.-lMilam County

GIVE Us GRANITE,
The Times at Laredo has started
boom that should meet with hearty
response from all the State, when 1t as
serts that blue granite Of sufficient
quantity and size can he obtained at
tnat point for the purpose of building
the capitol at Austin, Sentiment and
business do not always mix, but If
there is in Texas stone that can be
used and will snawer for that purpose,
1t ought to be used, and is a sentiment
that is pardonable at all times, no mat
ter how cheap and satisfactory Indiana
stone is San Antonio Light,
DERILICT LEGISLATURE,
Ii the State of Texas-and we mean
the Legislature-had provided for the
use Of granite in the capitol building,
even by an extra appropriation Of ST.
100000, the Burnett quarries would
have boon opened TO furnish stone for
hundreds Of other public and private
buildings, not only in Texas but in
other States. IL would have been o
new and permanent industry, yielding
q fair dividend on the investment OF
Some syndicate and distributing
thousands of dollars among laboring
men and the railrOads.-lWacoD DEM

WHAT WILL THEY DO ABoUTIr?
What are those capitol contractors
going to do with the State House? 1t
is about time they should go TO work
on tho building, or otherwise step
down and out and lot other mon COM
plete thestructuro. All this talk that
the Texas capitol will never DO built
unless these Chicago follows get il up
Tor us 81 idiotio bosh, while the state
ment that the native material 10 innde-
ouato for the undertaking, and that
we have TO import limestone from In
diana to carry on tho work, is simply
Islander and an injury TO The State.-

KEEP COOL,
Tho Fort Worth papers say they ex.
peot everybody in Texas there at the
reunion in August. II is possible that
they arc going TO pay the people their
money back that tho Investment Com
pany swindled them out of last year.
[Greonvlllo Appeal.
A moanor and moro contempt
ible fling never found place
in newspaper. Tho Fort Worth stock
holders in tho Investment Company
paid dearly for their connection with
the institution. All of them lost
heavily, and in no way did they wrong
any man. Tho animus of the Appeal
