There are, again, men who seem to
be made OF nothing more substan tial
than cartilage and lymph. They
assent to everything and agree with
everybody and have no fixed opinions q.
Yes and no from their lips are words
without a meaning, Il conviction or a
purpose, except that of appearing to
be everybOdy's friend. They are
unreliable in all thing and as ipvari-
able as the wind.
Then there is the man who sneers
continually at everything and every
body, and finds his chiefest pleasure
in belittling men and things general
ly. Pride, selt-conceit and vanity eX-
ist in abnormal proportions in his
com position. He is thoroughly con-

1t is said the exportable crop of
Texas for this year will reach $780,
900, 600 in value. This is splendid
showing, till you recall to mind the
fact, that Texas will have to eXpend
more than this huge sum for meat,
flour, corn, oats, Wagons, ploughs,
hoes, hay, lard, butter and condensed
milk, etc. Texas must learn to pro-
duce everything at home, SO as to save
the proceeds of her cotton crop.

San Antonio alone has q
greater number of inhabitants than
fifty counties could boast of, when the
last appOrti onment was made, yet
she and Ell PasO are IN the same sem

Has the stampede of democrats to
the third party yet been stopped in
Texas?
The people of Dallas are excusabIe
for using tangle-leg whisky. as
drinkable water is not within reach.
Has any democratic orator wiped
up the floor recently with Harry
Tracey?
Tracey is pretty handy with his
tongue, and in catch-as. you can

victor. No sprig of county court
lawyer has any business monkeyIng
with Tracey.
