l two brothers murdered by tn
Mexicans.
The executive committee of tn

appointed Feb. II 1892 as the da.
for the different states to holt
their conventions on the presiden
tial question.
A good way to cut hay stack is
to drag 3 or 4 hundred yards o.
barbed wire through the stack
We don'nt guaranteed this but
would like to hear from the exper-
iment.
The Fort Worth and Denver
railroad refuses to haul lumber
under the rates established by
the Railroad commission. What
will be done is yet to be decid-
ed.
State geologist Tumble who
has Just returned from his Europe
an trip, gives highly pleasing
report of the test made of Texas
iron and coal. Texas will some
day supply the world.
Mills will get there. Then when
Cleveland is elected the Democrats
will kinder have a corner on Con-
gress. We are strictly opposed to
monopolies, but we would not care
if the Denis, monopolize congress.
If the Gov. would Just leave out
the Text book bill, and devote the
time to improving and regulating
the convict lease system, it would
doubtless prove time worthy act.
As the Text book bill is at present
in its best condition.
If San Saba county depended
upon a railroad we might under
the present circumstances feel sad.
But we by no means depend upon
a road. All that is needed is to fix
up little for our needs, pleasures
and comforts and we will all be
happy any way.
The Governor says that the is
sues upon which he will call the
special session or the 1os:Siut9ss
are, the Alien Land law, Reappor-
Constitutional Amend

fore the Text Book bill is reached.
Some are urging an early demo-
cratic convention in 1892, while
others are in favor of deferring as
Iong as possible. We think the
most acceptable time viii be just
after the adjournment of congress.
But it does not matter much as
Cleveland will get there all the
same.
1t is secretly whispered that the
New York delegation will support
Crisp for speaker. But is New
York so mighty big that she must
say who is to be speaker and who
is to be president. Texas is nigh
~ big too as to area. In fact if
New York was just in good eli
mate and a convenient place Tex
as might rent II FOR a garden spot.
We hear of another sharper who
from a rural inhabitant
800 and gave as surety check for
$1,000 on the first National bank of
Dallas. When the check holder
went to present his cheque, he
found there was no such bank, he
then went to find the sharper, but
the sharper was too sharp and
could not be found. It is strange
that people VIII bite at these tricks.
Ii some people would devote as
much time to their own business
and in hunting for their own error
that they do to their neighbors
business and to hunting their
errors. They might in
course of time be able toreach the
limit of their own Ignorance and
discover a host of errors of their
OVID.
While Texas is trying to get re-
lief, on the freight rates. How
would it do take the money allow
