The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-08-27
THE TEXAS PRESS.

-
ton Journal is at Atlanta, Ga, and is
writing very spicy letters to his paper
from the metropolis of Gooberd ON.
Mrs. Julia Truitt Bishop, whose
| talents gave to The Houston Post the
literary reputation upon which it has
since been travelling, is contributing
some very interesting sketches to The
Globe-DemOcrat, Philadelphia Times
and other great journals of the north.
The Waco News thinks "the Third
party will, in a short time, be COM
posed of very few men," Exactly.
1t will be composed OF cranks and
soreheads. The "men" will remain
in the old parties, refusing to follow
the Xperimentalists into the briar
| bushes.
The Iconoclast man has been telling
Fort Worth Mail reporter that he
will put the gaf1les into the brainery,
so-called, of the Dallas News next
ably put in his spare time now oiling
up his "livid language" and building
bomb proof.
The San Antonio Express warns
Chiffon, Mills, Terrell ct al. that Mr..
Reagan will be candidate for re-elec-
tion to the senate before the Twenty
third legislature, and adds: "When
that body cOnNenes, there will be no
railway commission, and Mr.. Reagan
is not the man to hold the bag for any
body's snipe."
The Houston Post calculates: "'All
the talk here is of Houston writes a
st. Louis man to a gentleman in Ibis
city. 1t is everywhere-they all see
it," And smell it. The back number
egg episode was the biggest ad. the
Bayou City has ever received. 1t was
great improvement on killings,
which long ago ceased to be a novelty
in that village.
phe Henderson Times says: "a
great many Democrats in Texas are
wrong, or the doctrine promulgated
and adopted by the reign of E. j. Da'
Wis is right" Yes; Texas Democracy
so-called, is becoming sadly impreg
mated with pateralism. With the
tariff question disposed of there would
really be nothing to prevent the able
editor of the Times and all other de-
tenders of the alien land law, from
drifting into Republican pastures.
Since Col. b. M. Nanderhurst part
ed with the Capitolian the press and
public have been anxious to know
where he will break out next. Van
will not be able to keep out of har-
ness long. He may never make a
great deal of money in Texas journal
ism; he is not polite enough, has not
enough toloration tor shams, dema-
gogues and ineptitude in high places.
But Van is always interesting, manly,
and whatever he writes is worth read
ing.
The Sea Gull, an afternoon paper,
spread it's pinions in Galveston in OPP
position to The Evening Tribune.
A fter a checkered career it sang it's
death song, and from it's ashes sprang
The World. That in turn came to an
end in just three days, and Editor
Burson is once more undisputed
master of the situation. There may
be cities in Texas large enough and
progressive enough to support two
afternoon dailies, but Galveston is
not one of them.
The Corpus Christi Caller, one of
the brightest little dailies in the state,
says: "The fact has been well circu-
lated over the Union that Texas is
going to have a grand exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. In fact she is being
held up continually as a model for the
sister states. Let her realize to the
fullest extent this expectation. TO do
so there is much labor to be done, and
it had better be begun with
vengeance. Let Nueces county act at
once.n Let everybody act. Money
must be raised for that big exhibit
building. Put up.
The San Marcos Star-Vindicato
edited by that talented woman, Mrs.
n. X. Mcpherson, prints the follow
ing, which is we'll worthy the consid-
Grafton of those farmers who are in
fected with the subtreasury heresy:
at is very rarely the case that farm
ers are benefited by holding back
their crops from the fall market in
hope of a rise in prices. In nearly
every case of storage there is more or
less loss, instead of the hoped for gain.
Farmers should make note of this in
connection with their consideration of
the national warehouse scheme.
The Dallas Times-Herald says:
"There were good and true Alliance
men in the Fort Worth convention,
men who place their Democracy above
any secret organization on earth.
These men were kicked out of the sub
treasury Alliance meeting now in
progress in this city. The Alliance
is not political. OF course not" Edi-
tor Gilbert finds it very convenient to
forget that there were "good and true
Alliance men, who attended the Fort
Worth cabal and were hidden to stand
down in the hall simply and solely
because they favored the subtreasury
idea and We're feminist the a iministra-
ton. Both branches of the Alliance
are in politics and in clear up to the
