LAG behind all Of the towns in the
state in the immigration movement !?
This question is asked because it
looks that way.
ST1tIl the counties throughout
the state are falling into line by the
scores and are organizing local i'm
migration societies. And yet what
has been done in this county since
| Col. Giddings made his report.
The Austin Statesman wants to
know where Henry George and Faith
Ell McGlynn are at present disport-
ing themselves. The one is quietly
working for the success of the demo
cratic party this fall, and the other
is busy attending donation parties.
The Austin Dispatch in its issues
of the 18th and 18th quotes editor
ials from other papers in regard to
the gubernatorial and senatorial sue
cession and attributes them to the
BANNER. Please be more careful
in future Bro. Moses. The BANNER
doesn't wish to father any but its
own opinions.
ALREADY, Judging from. the ex-
changes, the young men in some 10
calities are beginning to organize
societies for protection from the
wiles of the fair sex. Although
Brennan led the state in giving the
initial leap-year ball, the young men
of this city have not yet found it
necessary to take such steps.
A NUMBER of papers are saying that
Texas wants immigrants, but that no
socialists and no anarchists need ap-
ply. While the classes specified are
not desirable, it is to be believed,
however, that if they cannot under
the laws of this state become good
citizens, they can under these self
same laws be made good angels.

Houston had so many live and pro-

ell dispensed with electric. lights.

for Texas! The whole state should
take a holiday.
That was a graphic description of
blizzard-bound train in Dakota.
Six children strayed q few yards
away from the coach, and the loco
motives kept up din and blare
whistling and the bells ringing, while
the grown passengers took long
ropes and walked back and forth
fifteen or twenty abreast following
the tow to keep from getting lost
while searching for them.

that is published in its columns, but
