A BLIND man will be able to reat
the ticket after the convention meets
at San Antonio. 1t will be Hogs
and Pendleton.
The Victoria Advocate asks: Il:
George Clark going to take the
stump To which the Bolton Jour
nal replies that he will take tree.
The Bolton Journal suggests that
the reason Mcdonald didn't state
why he withdrew from the race was
probably because he was too glad tc
get out alive.
THE anti-commissionists are 8
badly demoralized and ratified lot
1t is said that they have been writ
ing and telegraphing to Hon. R. @.
Mills trying to get him to enter the
race for governor.
BILL SHORTS open letters to I'm
Gle Dan1, of the Houston Age,
dated from the White House, and
published in the National Democrat,
make very interesting reading.
A RUSSIAN ukase has been issued
permitting the employment of women
on railroads. On the Trans-Caspian
line there are female station masters,
traffic managers, signal women, etc.
The question of extending the
charter of the lottery is receiving as
much attention at the hands of the
papers in Louisiana as the railroad
commission question is receiving at
the hands of the Texas press.
The Abilene Reporter is hard to
suit like an old maid. 1t says: ''Geo.
Clark is mentioned as coming anti
commission candidate. The Report
er does not want a commission but
it is about stand-off between the
commission and Clark"
JUDG1NG from the report of the
criminal proceedings at the present
term of the county court, there is al
together too much pistol-carrying in
Washington county, 1t should be
broken up by the imposition of the
heaviest fines permissible by law.
The anti-commissionists are agreed
that Hogg must be downed, if pos
sible. But their Intellectual efforts
to secure candidate to make the
race against him prove them as short
sighted as the rats that held a con-
vention and decided to bell the cat.
All the rats were too wise to under
take the job.
The New Birmingham Times says:
Johann Most, of New York, is
man of one idea. So is Mr.. Hogg,
candidate for governor" The best
thing that Mr.. Hogg's friends can do
Is to give that calf more rope and to
give such choice extracts the freesI
publicity and the widest circulation
without comment.
SHOULD the Mckinley tariff bill
become law it is claimed that it
will play smash with the republican
party in Minnesota. The president
of the Minnesota farmers alliance
says that the question as to whether
or not his organization will put out
a state ticket will depend on what
action the senate takes on the Nc
Kinley bill.
Why adopt Yankee blue as the
regulation uniform of the Texas
militia. 1t is the ugllest uniform on
earth and not calculated to heighten
enthusiasm. When Texas troops
won a worldwide reputation for
fighting qualities, they we're not az
rayed in goods of this color Better
''shuck" and parade in shirts
