Fort Worth is a variety show GEN.
tre." The bands parade every even
ing. The Gazette gives this advice:
"Join the procession, get out of the
way, or be run over"
The Gazette makes this predictions:
'The new Texas legislation, compos-
ed of large number of farmers, will,
among other things, amend the usury
law so as to make it effective. The
sharks who take advantage of
squeeze in the money market and the
necessities of debtors to exact aud
10 per centa month for the use or
money are furnishing pertinent texts
from which eloquent sermons will be
preached in favor of q usnry law that
will do its work. !"
THE McGregor Observer observes
jeff Davis county gave a majority
against Gen. Hogg. That shows
what manner Of people live in that
part of Texas.
Col. Barlow. of the Victoria Advo-
cate, wears the palm as the floricultu-
raj essayist of the Texas press, but
he's mighty poor judge of a fresh
news item. His papsr contains the
following:
"The assurance of MIR. Grover Cleve-
land, that he will be q candidate for
president in 1892, was flashed over
the country, from border to border,
from shore to shore, on Tuesday last,
and II was received with glorious an
ticipations by a good majority of Amer
lean citizens"
The Goliad Guard records the death
Of a noted character in an early day
of Texas:
"Colonel Phil Claiborne died at his
home in Bastrop on the Sth inst. He
was Texas veteran, noted lawyer
and one of the oldest citizens of Bas-
trop."
Says the Houston Post:
"The Texas prints propose to place
specimens of their work on exhibition
at the Worlds Fair. People who
imagine that Texas is land of hand
presses and "blacksmiths' might
just as well see to 1t that their breath
is securely anchored"

Mr.. Thos. ]. Hurley, in the Texas
real estate convention at Houston, de-
clared:
1t is the "home paper" the much
criticised, little-understood and too
often not appreciated home paper, he
holds, that is the lever to be used in
advertising Texas.
The Bellville Standard plays the
favorite in the speakership race and
predicts:
"Jeems" Browning, him of the
Panhandle, will be speaker of the
house of the incoming legislature.
The Bastrop Advertiser calls atten-
ton to an important fact:
The iron lands of Texas are attract

The truth is Texas has the finest iron
beds in the world, and their develop
ment is matter of very short time.

construction of a road to the Llano
fields, where much of her capital Is
already invested.
The Waco News got in line in time,
and from its coign of vantage says:
The boycott on the newspapers in
Dictated by the resolution at the close
Of the session of the National Alliance
has no terror for the News. This
paper has always printed everything
it could get its hands ON about the
Alliance and promises to continue in
the good work. We are afraid some
things it has published about few
Alliance leaders were not appreciated
by them, but if to warn the Alliance
against crafty leaders is alliance
news" then the News has fulfilled
the measure Of its duty.
