Washington Craftsman: The LabO
Council in Toronto has been very activ,
this winter In opposing assisted emf
grafton" and other reform measures.
Galveston Daily News: The State O
Texas is still here, and the people ar
still paying taxes, but what is the State
doing? Why are the people paying
taxes!
Paris Daily News: The Sherman
Register is screaming for electric lights
but it will never get them. People nevel
light up grave-yarLs with electric lights
nowadays.
Galveston Evening Tribune: With
Major Boone in the race and Houston
seasoning a nice fat club, My Policy
Stewards chances for reelection are
not particularly encouraging.
Fort Worth Evening Mail: Failure
TO aTbitrate the distressing labor diff
culties will have the effect of Fastening
the enactment of laws to cover the eX-
LICENCES of like cases in the future.
Houston Post: The Associated Press
is never at its hest except when report
ing prize fight. When two sluggers
|
the continent by pounding each other in
a ring, it has to be wired here at any
| cost.
Corpus Christi Caller: After a careful
perusal Of a number of issues, Of the
Houston Post we have come to the con-
clusion that that journal is for Swain
for Governor, first, last and all the time,
and that Mr.. Ross might as well take
back seat.
Dallas Times: Mr.. HoXie swears he
will never consent TO consultation with
Mr.. POwderly, yet he goes on TO say
what he would have done had there
been consultation. For n man who
don't want anything to do with Mr..
POwderly, Mr.. Hoxie is lengthy.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: Never
has Great Britain possessed SO radical
Parliament as its present one, and 1t
seems to be getting more radical every
day, for, frightened by Gladstone's Irish
policy, the Wings are dropping out of
the Liberal party, leaving 1t completely
in the lands of the Radicals.
Texas Stockman: 1t is we'll estab-
lished scientific faGt'' that when the
northwest wants Texas cattle the north
west always discovers that there is no
Texas fever lying around loose that year;
but if they have had pretty fair season
up there, -Ge-wilikins! how danger
GUS Texas cattle become!
ST. Louis Post Dispatch: Mr.. Laffoon
of Kentucky, has prepared a bill for the
construction of artesian wells on the
plains. This great and worthy
scheme; while the bill itself ia remark
able as indicating phonomensl
amount of attention bestowed BY ma
tive Kentuckian on the subject of pure
water.
Waco Examiner: The Statesman and
the Post tilt at unreal principles, while
great issues are safe from their anger.
In the Statesman's case the State House
ring stands ahead of Democracy. and
with the Post, Baker, the Independent
Republican candidate, against the regu-
lar Democratic nominee tor Mayor, rises
far above all party considerations or the
broader field of State action.
Washington Republican: An Ohio
editor edities his readers with long es-
say on mistakes in Dress" Some of
the worst mistakes in dress have been
noticed in this city when the cOntrivers
and beneticiaries of Ohio election frauds,
who should have been in penitentiary
costume at Columbus, have shown up
here in 'swelP' society in swallow tails
and other appurtenances of full evening
costume.
Austin Statesman: The time is COM
ing when nearly all range cattle will be
fed and properly fattened before being
marketed. Choice cattle fresh from a
good range, are often as fat as COrn-fed
cattle, bat it must be remembered that
very few such cattle come to market in
the course of year. 1t is positively
wicked TO waste so much good material
as is done every year by sending to
market thin, unfinished cattle.
Dallas Morning News: The Memphis
Avalanche asks, "Are we going to the
devil?" This is very proper question
to be asked by a great religious daily,
and it is the duty of the Sunday school
around the corner to settle the doubtful
question. Such a question by the Gov
ernor of Texas at this moment would
seem to be in order. but he seems to pre-
fer the attitude of patience on mOnu-
ment-grand, gloomy and peculiar"
Cincinnati Times-Star: General But
Ter shows from BentOn's reports of the
First Congress that Washington used to
complain of the Senators when they did
not ask reasons for his nominations and
ether executive acts; he wanted them t.
know all about it. But Washington
lived away back. The glorious reform
idea of pulling down the blinds in the
executive branch of the Government
never entered his head.
Fort Worth Gazette: Generally, the
Texas newspapers condemn the tone of
few of the personal organs of the aspi-
rants for Office, and it is an evidence of
their good taste. Personal insinuations
are out of place. They help no man to
