WITH Attorney-General Hogg to
vitalize it, the constitution of Texas
is not such dead, lifeless thing nor
such sad piece of patchwork after
all, as those who have been demand
ing new one would make believe.

CHICAGO HERALD: The republicans,
in their haste to assume that the
democrats are less intelligent than
they are, have jumped at the Austria
Ian system as an innovation which
would be sure to reduce the demo
cratic vote. But how do they like
system as far as they have got? Up
to the present time every reform in
the interest of honest elections has
Injured to the good of the democratic
party instead of their own. Let the
good work go on, and may it spread
from Maine to Texas before 1892.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch says
that: "The power of the secretary OF
the treasury to control the money
market was clearly shown by Senator
Plumb in his speech on his bill Tor
the disposition of funds now held in
the treasury. The power is a danger
Gus one and may be used to the tire
mendous injury of legitimate bust
ness interests and the benefit OF
spectators"

A NUMBER of villainous looking
cuts have been running through the

create theimpression that they repre-

ONLY three towns in the state ex.
tended invitations to the Texas vet
Grams to hold their next annual re-
union with them. They were Bren.
ham, Temple and Lampasas. They
should have received invitations from
every town and city in the state, and
it was no doubt a piece of thought
lessness that they did not receive
more. That the veterans will soon
all be gone is shown by the fact that
when the roll was called at Fort
Worth the other day the voices OF
forty who had answered at the last
preceding roll-call were silent in the
grave. They are fast passing away
and while we have them with US we
should treat them with unbounded
hospitality.

The Chicago Tribune, a republican
paper, is one of the do-as-I-say-and-
not-as-I-do kind. 1t appeals impa-
tiently to the farmers as follows:
How long will our farmers persist
in a delusion which leads them, while
complaining of their forlorn condi-
ton to throw away $46,0O0,O00 a
year in the cost of their wooden wear
and blankets? And will they sup
port an increase of S1O,000,00O on
the cost Of their woolens on the fool
ish supposition that the higher
duties on wool will recoup them7 If
they do they are fooling themselves
The Tribune had an opportunity
in the last national contest to help
elect an anti-tariff robber president,
but worked for the other man.
