hapS, for the purpose OF posting up on cur
rent or recent political events. In a CONVEX
sation about the alien land law he said that
ne considered the principle of the bill. that
is the idea of prohibiting alien ownership of
land. a good one. But the bill went TOO far
in excluding alien money. That was an evil
in the bill that could and should De cured.
He was disposed 20 attach less significance
TO the third party or Sub-treaSury movement
than is claimed for it by its adherentS
There is. he thinks, 4 certain percentage Of
men so constituted that. when the condi-
tons are favorable, they will 90 off al a
tangent. and indulge the natural bent OF
eccentric or Unbalanced minds. Usually
they are loud and boisterouS, and when 9TH
ers are quiet, they are
vOCIFEEATING AND HowLING
in such way as TO create the impression
that they are far more numerous than they
really are. The frenzy soon eXhauStS itself
and the status quo Is reached once more.
he does not think that the minds of the
people can be seriously or permanently i'll
fiuenced by an idea that is so preposterous
on its very face, but believes that Demo

ergies to the attainment of this one great
end, in which they recognize great future
benefit to themselves. Is it wise. said he,
when such movement towards the eStab-

capitalists with money TO invest, that she

filthy lucre?
How can Texas hope TO gain the favor of
foreign traders and merchants and utilize
her expensive harbors under such I'M

bill. but felt that the law should be modi-

REAGAN on QUAY.
Judge Reagan talking yesterday about
Senator Quay whom he knows very well,
said that when a young man. Quay spent u
year or two in Texas in the early days of
the state, down at Columbus perhaps or
somewhere in that REGION. The Judge said

looking and nothing in his looks, manners
or conversation indicates that he is any
thing more than an ordinary man. He is no
speaker at all. Asked if the now fallen
chief did not owe his political elevation and
success to the shameless audacity with
which he committed fraud. the judge
smiled and said that it might be so.
