is cLE1 ELAND IN IT,

Clevelands letter to the meeting
at Cooper Institute in New York
Wednesday night on the silver ques-
ton has proved a bombshell, made
the republicans jubilant and the
democrats wrathy 1t was known
that he was not q silver pan, but
that he should thus 6ppeihiiiy oppose
the free coina5e bill has hurt him
immensely with his party, holding
that If those were his views, there
was no occasion or necessity for
them being promulgated at this
time, and that he has ruined his
claims for the presidency by so do
ing Many of the State platforms,
Texas among them, declared in favor
of the free coinage of silver, and
Congressman Sayers says that the
Democracy could not consistently
advocate Cleveland after his express
sion of these views.
Clevelands views on the silver
question have been known all the
time, and because of his frankness
to express them, he being a frank
and honest man, should not alienate
his friends or the Democratic party
from him, and it won't except those
who were looking for an excuse to
look elsewhere for a leader. The
BANNER regrets to see Mr.. Cleveland
do anything that hurts him with the
Democratic party, and while we are
not pleased with his views on the
silver question, we think that upon
the sober second thought, when this
little breeze blows over Cleveland
will again be the favorite.
During the ripple that his views
have created, We shall read with in
terest the editorial comment of the
Dallas Times-Heraid, who will no
doubt be tickled immensely, for it is
iron in its soul for Cleveland to be
in the ascendency.

| The Dallas Times-Herald, in g
lengthy editorial, expresses the opin
ion that the same supervision should
be exercised by the state over build
ing and loan associations as is given
insurance companies. The building
and loan associations do the great
volume of their business with work
ing people, wage people, people of
moderate means, who avail them
selves of the excellent system of
these mutual building and loan as
sociations to save their monthly
earnings, or borrowing through it
the earnings of others to build them
home to be paid for by the matur-
ing Of their stock-aplan which is as
safe as convenient when in the
hands of our own people and con-
Quoted under our own state laws
and have no such means as the men
who patronize the insurance compa-
MES, who can consult commercial
agencies as to the standing of the
companies they are dealing with !:
hence there is a greater necessity
for protection by our state laws
against wildcat building and loan
associations than in insurance.
Some of these companies are good
and sound, but the average patron
cannot tell which, hence the neces-
sity for state inspection, and that
such as are not proven to be per
fectly responsible be prohibited
from doing business in Texas.
Such a measure, says the Times
Herald, would save to Texas thous-
ands of dollars sent out of the state
each month to bogus concerns. and
it hopes the present legislature will
pass an inspection law.
A WIDE difference exists between
the mine operators and miners and |
