others, and others there be. we do not
deem any attempt to reOrganize the re-
publican party of Texas this fall wise
one.
THE Overton Sharp Shooter does not
consider it very wise proceeding for
the anti-acalde folks to go fOOling
around the old mans stable too prOmis-
Cuous'y. 1t insinuates very strongly
that they may find better racer in the
OZARK horse" than they care to make
the run against.
THE evening papers of Austin can dis
count that historical monkey and parrot
kind of time. They are as kantanker-
Gus a a Thomas feline on a garden wall.
THE cry for the organization of the To-
cal democracy is becoming agOnizing.
! Let the cry OF the organ be needed by
all means.
SOME faCetiOus states rights crank
wants Massachusetts and Maine to de-
clare war on Canaua, and let John and
Jonathan stand by and see fair play.
The down casters would soon make bait

lows down at the mouth of the gulf want
to secede from Canada anyway, and
would have little heart in fight for DO.
miniOn glory.
The democratic ring masters in Tex
as are nOn-plussed at the political out
look. They cannot count their chickens
now as in former years. The Knights
of Labor will not obey the crack OF the
party whip. but will vote for the best
men in the fields and who are most
friendly to labor The Farmers ALI
ances have put off the muzZle and. the
blind brides of the party hacks and will
vote like patriotic and sensible citizens,
who are deeply impressed with the i'm.
pOrtanCe of having good and pure men
in office. DemagOgues are at fearful
discount, and their supply of tafly is
likely to spoil on their hands; the ma
nipulatOTs of rings and the ward poIiti-
clans have lost their grip on the people,
and will be forced to stand aside; the pO-
litiCal bummers, hangers on and bench
men, are out of their depth and out of
humOr. The old party hacks cannot
inspire the least bit of enthusiasm.
Swain and Ross arouse no enthusiasm.
Breckenridge, as the president OF ma
tiOnal bank. would be less able to do so.
THE Ross racket keeps up and the in
fernal din has stunned the ears of Texans
This thing must be Dor ne now, but time
which brings its own revenges will
quiet this racket about convention time
and an afflicted commonwealth will
have peace.
THE fool killer missed his connection
last week on several occasions when he
should have got in his work The irres-
ponsibles who pirate about the working
mems organizations in general, and
the Knights of Labor in particular, as
dangerous dynamiters should receive
attention. Such men need an imme-
diate Inquest into their sanity.
The passage of the house bill taxing
OleOmargarine > cents per pound is a
specimen of class legislation, which is
not even first-class OF its kind. There
was not one iota Of evidence to prove
that the product knows as oleomar-
garine was unclean, unwhOesOme as an
article OF food or in any way deleterious
to the health or morals of the people.
1t is bill prepared and lobbied through
the house solely in the interests OF
class, and the last class in the world that
should lend themselves to such an in
iquitiOus proceeding, the farmers and
dairymen of the United State 1t is

and others not so poor, tax of five
cents per pound because they prefer to

food than the rancid butter, usually
vended for pure country butter, can
not be found in the whole range
of our food products. Butter making
has become Il fine art The bulk
of good butter is now made at the large
| creameries, and these creamery men con-
troll the price and force it up to gilt
edged price utterly beyond the purse of
the ordinary consumer. Not only is it
the case with the good, fresh, genuine
article, but the creameries buy all the
poor butter they can get and doctor it;
put 1t through their creamery process;
wash ID out with acids TO kill it's ran
cidity; wash out the acids, churn it over
and work it over and turn it out to the
consumer as pure creamery butter. It'll
