party, himself a possibly successful
contestant for that nomination.
Hogg is neither the one nor the other,
only the man whom all other candi-
dates dislike and who will be antag-
onized by them whenever the tug Of
war means. The probabilities are
that the next governor of Texas has
not been very prominently mentioned
in connection with this office unless
third term is on the carpet.
THE Democratic Dispatch of st.
Paul, Mimi. is not among the num-
Der of those democratic journals that
see cause for democratic commenda-
ton in the absconding Senator of
Montana. Contrary wise the Dispatch
most senslbly lays the back upon
shoulders so desiring correction and
says most truly:
sit is incomprehensible how such
a surrender of official dignity could
hope to receive public approval. Yet
tho conduct of the Montana democra-
tic senators has evidently been de-
cided on only after the fullest con-
sideration and in the assurance that
it will receive the approval of their
several constituencies. NO one OF the
Younger states of the union is as sad
iy in need of judicious legislation as
is Montana. Every valuable interest
in the state is suffering and has sur
fered since long before admission on
account Of the absence OF well de-
vlsed code of state laws. The scandal
which attaches to the state, as the
result of the prOtraCted political COM
plicatiOns are certain to result in
iuriously to it's development. What
ever be the outcome, on the other
hand, the interest of political parties
are OF small moment comparatively
with the vast concerns of the state
which are wantonly victimized by
| the foolish antics of unreasoning par
| tiZanship."
If there be any virtue and if there
be any praise let good democrats
think on this thing.

THE invisibility OF the visible as
Reed expresses the democratic quo
rum formula, can now be relegated to
the whenceness of the WHITTIER and
the utterableness of the too utterly
too.
THE city council and the citizens OF
the little city of Paris in Texas are
moving in the question of city sewer
age. and this is what the Paris News
says:
"The question of sewerage IS being
forced on us. No stronger evidence
of the city's growth and progress has
arisen than the fact that we need
sewers
If the need of sewers is evidence o.
city's growth and progress. ther
the evidences of city's growth anc
progress are bursting out of San An
tonic all over in spots; for, no city OF
the footstool of her population anc
Importance has taken so little real in
terest in the matter as has she
Grading and paving our streets with
out first sewering them is just al
much in keeping as 1t would be for
woman to array herself IN silk lace'
and diamonds for a swell party, wher
she had not taken a bath for seven
cen years, nor changed her under
wear since last soaking. Paris will
not do things that way, according t
the News:
THE city council propose to tax
the sewerage matter under careful
advisement before they make ar!
move"
This is just the difference between
the city councils of the little villag'
of Paris and the city of San Antonio
Paris council will take sewerage mat
tiers under careful Amusement; Sal
Antonio council will not take then
under adyisement at all.
