PRESS OPINIONS

TeXarkana Workman: We seldom
hear OF any name besides that of John
ID. Mccall mentioned ia connection
with the Gomptrollership. He is so far
ahead of all opposition that any other
candidate would be losing time to at
tempt TO race against him.
Coleman Voice: We do not have to
ransack the State for good timber for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS If the friends OF
Judge Il. b. Wheeler could prevail on
him to make the race there is no better
material.
Sabine Pass Times: Most of our
Texas exchanges are working vigorous
ly at Governor making. Possess your
souls in patience, gentlemen. In due
time the Democratic State Convention
will name the right man. Some of you
are cooking for yourselves a pretty mess
of crow.
Paris News: The Mccall boom, like
the spirit of John Brown, goes marching
on, and refuses to down at the bidding
Of those who would not reward true
merit. Mccall will be the next Comp
troller of Texas.
ColliLsville Times: When the western
horizon is tinged purple by the autumn
nal sinking sun, the people ofthis ample
State will have chance TO choose a
proper one TO govern them. This they
should consider we'll. In 50 doing think
on Swain. He is gallant Swain.
Philadelphia Inquirer: There is a
striking similarity between the stories
of the ex-Aldermen arrested in New
York and the Apaches captured in New
Mexico. In both cases, BY singular
coincidence, the only innocent ones in
the lot are the ones who happen to be
caught.
Philadelphia Press: If Geronimo sur
renders again If might be wise thing
to take him out and hang him to cot.
t0nwood tree as All assurance of good
faith. 1t seems that something of the
kind should be done to restrain the
cheerful old cut throat fro 1 the palpa-
BILE inconsistency of surrrndering one
day and running off the next.
Dallas Times: The Paris North Texan
declares that il George ashington were

Lagrange Journal: Hon. II. II. Boone,
of NavasOta, will be candidate for
nomination for Congress in the next
Democratic Congressional Convention,
to be- held in the Sixth District. He will
make it very lively for Hon. Charles
Stewart, if he does not beat him.
Philadelphia Ledger: Pension Com
missioner Black is added to the long list
of men with more knowledge than pru-
dence who have been taught by exper-
fence that 1t is far easier TO make a
sweeping accusation than to back any
part Of it by specific particular proof
That lesson is good for all of US who
write and print,
Galveston Tribune: The proposition
to call conference of all the American
governments to discuss measures of
reciprocal interest should be encouraged.
Such conference could only result in
good to all concerned.
Chicago News: If it is overwork that
has made Attorney-General Garland
sick, we could suggest a remedy that
would meet the appreciation of the peO-
pie Of the United States, excepting, per-
haps, one or two of those who live in
Arkansas.
Providence Star: 1t is certainly to the
credit of New York to put official thieves
in the penitentiary. But it would be
much more to the credit of the city not
to have elected thieves to be official.
Philadelphia Call: If Morrison will
only produce bill to horizontally scale
the Utah MormOns, he will be backed by
popular support.
