The next legislature of Texas will
have grand opportunity to distin-
guish itself.
IT still appears to be nip and tuck
between Klgore and Hubbard in
the congressional race.
ABOUT dozen more counties have
instructed for Hogg, and none for
Cook, Hall or Wheeler.
SUPPOSE the papers all join in agi-
Eating the enforcement of the
vagrancy laws for a change from the
discussion of politics.
GEN. HoGG closed his campaign
for the governorship at San Antonio
on Saturday night. He will rest
until the convention meets.
The anti-eommissionists will not
be compelled to eat crow at San
Antonio. They may have their
choice of this bird or Cooked goose.
Has the Waco Day hoppeda 1t
says it lis fain to confess that Gen.
Hogg's boom is a big one" We
thought it would be sorry confes-
sion.
OMAHA WoRLD-HERALD: Harrison
has scored SIX vetoes! Go it, old
mani Keep your wind and don't
get ratified, and, above all, look out
for low balls.
THE San Antonio Times, although
rather late about it, announces in a
double loaded editorial that it will
henceforth be found supporting
Hogg for governor.
The political outlook in the Pal
metto state appears in a considerable
muddle. But if the federal election
bull becomes law it will very quick
ly shift the situation and rally all
white people together.
The paragraph going the rounds
that VIM. Green, a colored man from
Kyle, is running for congress in the
Sth district, seems to be a mistake.
It is probable that VIM. Green, a
white republican farmer from Austin
county, is the candidate alluded to.
THERE are a few inconsistent gen
tlemen hereabouts that claim to be
in favor of Hogg for governor but
opposed to instructions, and yet
were very anxious to have them
selves and their friends instructed
for county offices in the primary
conventions.
The Galyeston-Dallas News OF
Sunday rears up on its hind legs in
a fit kof rage and utters a howl
against the reptile crew. which it
accuses of conspiracy to bring it into
odium. The News politics is enough
to bring it into odium among all de-
cent people democrats or republicans,
without any conspiracy.
The New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat says that Sir Edwin Arnold has
been offered 100000 for his new |
poem of 5000 lines. The I'D.
doesn't say what the proposed pur-
chaser wanted with the poem, but it
is presumed that he is a philanthro-
pist and wanted to buy the poem to
keep it away from suffering humanity.
ANYTHING for an excuse. The man
ufacturers of false teeth have ad-
vanced their price fifty per cent
They claim that they are forced tol
put up the price because the price
of platinum has advanced so per
cent. But platinum is only used for
the little pins that fasten the teeth
to the gum, and if platinum had ad-
vanced 500 per cent it wouldn't have
necessitated such an advance in the
price of artificial teeth.
The board of directors of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college
have rendered the presidency of that
institution to Gov. Ross. to take
place from the expiration of his term
as chief executive of the state. No
doubt the institution would be !
greatly benefited by having Gov. |
Ross at its head. But as all of the
members of the directory of the col
lege received their appointments
from Gov. Ross and are his creatures,
as it were, it appeas to US it would
be in bad taste for him to accept the
annointmnnt until another hoard of
