That it would be good thing if some
society women and busy fathers would set
apart one day in the week when they
would receive their children.
That the average hired girl has ten
times as many cousins as there are tails
to n cat.
That if the Republicans do not inaug-
urate Southern question, there are
numerous able-bodied noble Old Rips in
this section whose hope of life without
manual labor will be gone.
That wedding presents of to-day are
very largely made up of useless bric-a-
brac.
That if the women voted prohibition
would be one of the laws of the land.
That if the opera house management
will continue to raise the curtain prompt
ly at S:l5, people will very soon learn to
be in the house at that hour, and that the
management would only encourage lazi-
ness by waiting for the people.
That the high hat at the opera house is
nuisance and seriously interferes with
the pleasure and rights of other people,
and that if the angels insist Oh wearing
them the men ought to wear their
beavers.

'Leess right hand. - After it he has
been known as his own right hand. In
other words, General James Longstreet
of Georgia has kept his beaming eye fixed
upon the main chance. The fieshpots of
Egypt have proven too strong for him.
The Express sincerely trusts that Mr..
HARRISON will shake hands with him in a

Texarkana Times: The next guberna-
torial fight will be hot one. There will
be a number of gentlemen in the field
and they win all have strong followings. :
As the matter now stands, it looks as if
Hon. Dick Wynne of Fort Worth, Hon.
Seth Shepard of Dallas, and Attorney
General Hogg will all be in the race.
Should there be deadlock, as there
probably will be if these three gentlemen
run, Colonel CulbersOn, John H. Reagan

Kaufman Review: The congressional
house is becoming the great American
forum; and there each state should de-
sire to concentrate all her wealth of
genius and eloquence, votes and int1u-
ence and craftsmanship. The senate
must wane in influence, the house wax.
Even now the speaker of the house is far
more potent in shaping legislation than
the president; he is, indeed, becoming
the most important officer under the fed
eral constitution Better one great I'M
divided, influential Texas than q litter of
five unimpqEtant whelps. Concentra-
ton, not division of resources, is the
dictate of common sense. No division,
if you please.
Corsicana Courier: While all else is
stagnant this subject should not be lost
sight of nor allowed by the rivalry of any
citizens to drop out of sight. Deep water
on the Texas coast is q matter of para
mount Importance, and must be had.
The matter has been so well aired that
it would seem 10 us that some definite
plan could be arrived at; surely Ameri-
can ingenuity and skill can point out the
way to secure for Texas II safe and conse-
quently invaluable seaport. This matter
should be settled without any considera-
ton of what is merely rivalry between
those who hope to make wealth in haste.
Let us not be led away by any of
these would-be money grabbers, but
let the question be settled on
the best and safest grounds that can be
ascertained for the general welfare of our
citizens ut large. Science can point out
and money effect what we want, but
money cannot effect what science and
common sense declare to be impossible.
The age of miracles has passed, and in
these days of utilitarianism we call scien-
tific men to our aid, and not the magi-
clan with his wand.

Colonel John s. Mosby announces

Democratic gains were made in the dis

Democratic losses were, with but. few ex-
captions, in the rural districts.
In other words, wherever the tariff
issue was thoroughly studied by the peo-

that Democratic interests demand and
Republican interests oppose another cam

That being true, such rot as is contained
IN the following quotation from the New
York Tribune may be accounted for on
another hypothesis than that which at
first blush appears most natural: that
the Tribune editor is an inexhaustible ass:
1t is taken for granted that Southern Demo-
Gratis are always ready to commit election frauds
because there has never been a time since recon-
strnction when large number of Southern
Democrats did not owe their seats in the house
to such frauds, because their control of number
of the Southern state governments is based
upon such frauds, because they have never con-
trolled either house Of congress except through
such frauds, because Grover Cleveland was made
president by such frauds, and was defeated for
reelection only in spite of such frauds.
The peroration of the Tribune's soul
stirring Grafton revives memories of the
late lamented Pinkston-Eliza Pinkston
Possibly the Tribune has heard the name
Here it is:
1t is taken for granted that Southern Demo-
Gratis ready at all times and in all places to
perpetrate frauds.
The Tribune also takes something for
granted with respect to Northern Repub-
licans; an assumption based, doubtless,
on the declaration of Carlyle that CEN
gland contains fifty millions of people
mostly fools, -
The intelligence of the South resents
the reflection upon the intelligence of the
North. This country is not a nation of
fools. The greatest fools are those who
act upon such belief.
The issue of the classes versus the
masses cannot be escaped by such meth
DDS. The fight of 1892 will be the fight
of 1888, with the exception, only, it is to
be hoped, of its results.

TEXAS OPINION.

Houston Age: The people of Texas
have much to be thankful for, and
among other things, their deliverance
from epidemic. For that deliverance,
next after Divine Providence, they are
indebted to State Health Officer Ruther-
ford and his excellent quarantine.
Dallas Journal: Hesitancy is spend
ing money, by those who have it to spend
in building up and developing city, has
caused many a boom to collapse and the
loss of those advantages that might have
been secured. The business men of every
city should by liberal expenditure of
their means encourage enterprises which
will tend to enhance the growth of the
city in which they are doing business. 1t
is penny wise and pound foolish policy
which tightens the purse strings when a
public enterprise is suggested.

ment has. kept the northwest unsettled,
and continued Ignorance of which will
keep it unsettled until doomsday:
1t is,a well known fact, proven over and over
again, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in
every4new country that has been settled, that it
is about all a new country is worth to settle and
improve it.
We may deceive ourselves and a few unsus
pecting individuals, but cannot delude the
shrewd men who are seeking investment for their
money, or country where they can locate pros
porous homes.
We would further state in this our petition as
the grounds upon which we base our demands,
that we believe if the land law be not changed so
rs to hold out greater inducements to the actual
settler that the Panhandle and West Texas will
remain unsettled and unccupied except
by large cattle owners. Strenuous eff
forts have been put forth by those
already settled, and large expenses have been
incurred to settle up the country under the pres
ent land law, and We must pronounce our efforts
a failure. Railroads have been built, towns
started, newspapers, postoffices, mail lines,
schools and churches established, but the settle
ment of the country remains about the same as
it was two years ago. While many have come
into the country, few have remained; some set
tiers that were supposed to be permanently To-
Gated, have gone, and others are going; some
have settled on the land and refused to ile while
others that have filed have let their land go back
to the state.
Shall the next decade show total in
crease in the actual settler population of
the. Panhandle of but $50? If not the
land system must be revised and liberal
lied.

THE esteemed San Antonio Express is
mistaken; THE GAZETTE does not believe
there is cause for Southern apprehension
that Harrison's administration will re-
mand the South to the condition of re-
construction days. THE GAZETTE be-
lieves that Northern money invested in
Southern fields will be potent
against all the Forakers and ingalls,
of the North. But THE GAZETTE says
that when such men as Joe Brown of
Georgia, (at whose feet the Southern
protection papers worship, express ap-
prehensions, the fears of the masses
ought to be treated considerably and not
with contempt. That all.

The American Girl.

The American girl is the phenomenon of
bound to win. Even the staid, old fash
Toned journalistic stage coach, the Lon

monial market her stock is always at a
premium and foreign duke or lord or
member of parliament thinks himself
specially lucky if he can get one for

pendent, diplomatic and, take her for all
in all, the best natured and most desir-
able creature on the face of-this earth.
