LESSON FOR WOMEN.
East Texas News.
1t is very difficult to get any definite
report of the good accomplished at the
recent Cattlemen's convention in Denver.
Nothing was publicly done on either the
trail or quarantine questions. but it is
claimed that sort of personal under
standing was arrived at, that cattle were
to be permitted to pass, unless 1t was
positively known that the herd was in
fected. Texas had Al per cent, of the
representation at the convention, and at
ter this was settled beyond question, this
great advantage was voluntarily sur
rendered, and the representation cut
down to 20 per cent. This generous act
of the Texans created a favorable impress
sion, and made them many friends, which
may stand them in hand yet, some time
in the future.
Corsicana Courier.
The Times says ''Dallas, having secured
the Santa Fe, and the biggest part of the
earth, is now after the democratic state
convention" What else does she wantY
Why don't she get down on all tours and
squeal for the trough like all the rest of
the little pigs do?

There is nothing so much needed in
Austin now as a first-class hotel and the
one now in course of construction cannot
be opened any too soon. Lack of good
and ample hotel Accommodations has always
kept the city back, and another hotel in
addition to the one going up, would no
doubt be good paying business. AS a
health resort Austin is equal to San An
the latter place is because they can be
better taken care of there than at the
former.
The Sun.
OF the two leading candidates for gov
ernor, Swain and Ross, heretofore appar-
emily about evenly matched, the former is
now said to be rapidly "rising on the tide
of public favoritism." The Plano Review
says Swain is the choice of the leading
daily papers of Texas, and also of the
country weeklies. The Review openly de-
clares for Swain and promises to give him
its cordial support.

With r. Q. Mills squarely in the arena
for Senator Maxey's successorship, the

Witnessed in Texas politics.

Comptroller Swain believes that the
masses of the people of Texas have some
rights which the cattlemen, who are pay
ing no rent, are bound to respect.

of Philadelphia, has sent out an appeal
to the whole country for contributions to
erect monument to the memory of Gen.

VIRGINIA TO THE FRONT.
Mrs. Malone, at one party, last month,
wore more diamond ornaments than any
other lady has had on at once at Washing
ton entertainments during the winter.
They included necklace, pendant brace
let's, ear rings, brooches, and other orna-
ments in her hair, all of diamonds.
Fort Worth Gazette
great temperance revival has struck q
West Virgiaia town, and the inhabitants
haze bought up the stocks of whisky kept
in the saloons and emptied them into the
cutters. Whisky, wine and beer literally
run like water. When the reaction comes,
what curses and groans will rend the air
as the quondam temperance people think
of that good whisky that they turned out
to the ground.

Dallas News.
Riddleberger was disposed to tackle Ed
munds during the discussion of the reso-
luton asking the president for his rea-
sons. The stiff and severe Vermonter
just looked over his spectacles as if to say
he never had much use for Malone and
his followers in their strongest and palm
lest days anyhow, and went on sending
seeds to his constituency.
Sherman should have added "Burn this
letter." He failed to do it when he wrote
if Smith had lived Grant would have dis
appeared from history. Still he does not
feel any worse than Blaine did, though he
added the words to his famous letter.
