STATESMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY.
"THE ICONOCLAST."

The above is the title Of very
handsome monthly just issued in this
city. It's mission is evidently to raise
arge quantities of sheol and make
good sized portion of the human race
wish that they or it had never seen
the light of day. 1t is verltable
"roasting MILL" "skinning ma
chinen with full set of knives and a
revolution like drunken buzz-saw.
1t strikes at pretty much everything
it sees and at quite number of things
that it don't see, but imagines it does,
and it strikes below the belt with both
hands, and does not scruple to use It's
teeth.
The Iconoclast is edited by Mr.. w
G. Brann, who has, for some years
past, occupied responsible positions on
some of the leading dailies Of the
state. That he is a writer of marked
ability no one can deny. He is per-
haps the most vigorous manipu-
lator of the English language to
be found in the entire South.
His logic is a stone wall, his
sentences clean cut as canoes and
his periods strike with the impact of
a solid shot. Sarcasm and ridicule
become in his hands veritable whips
of scorpions. But unfortunately he is
q misanthrope, pessimist, and takes
the very worst possible view of every
thing. He sets the standard too high
and then attacks with vindictive-
ness that is appalling everything that
does not come up to it.
The Iconoclast should bear in mind
that while it unquestionably has its
share, it does not possess all the wis
dom in this world by a very great
deal. It's editor is not the only man
furnished with thinking apparatus.
The Iconoclast speaks too much Gas
one having authority" 1t uses the
cap. OPP too much and is permeated
by an offensive air of superiority.
If it will keep its egotism more in the
background and use little more dis
elimination in alligning it's batteries
it will Gill a long felt want" and fill
it chock full. 1t is lulu.

The commission is working Oh the

cable on all the roads in the state with
Houston and Galveston as basing

Mr.. John f. Wilson, collector OF

tariff that is causing the American
agriculturist to work eighteen hours
a day only to succeed in losing his
farm but that it is scarcity of money.
If m.1ey is so scarce how does it hap
men that there are millions of dollars
living idle that would be gladly loaned
on good security at 4 or 5 per cent?
The tariff, the homestead law and the
alien land law, and not the lack of
pap is what is causing
the Texas farmer to wear but one gal
Ius and fasten it with a ten-penny
nail

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-07-30

The secretary of the treasury mana
ges to figure upa surplus gilmore than
$53, 100000. But he neglects to state
that the bank note redemption fund
has been squandered by the repre-
sentatives. This was trust fund
and according to the secretary's own
figures, there is not money enough on
hand by more than million dollars
to replace it. This is one way to hide
a deficit.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-07-30

OF course the Twenty-second legis-
lature paid no attention whatever to
the convention of business men and
taxpayers who demanded a million dol
lar appropriation for Texas exhibit
at the Worlds Fair, but the Twenty

as it once did, and it may now listen
to reason. Let us have a convention
to discuss the alien land law and de-
termine whether we need it or not.
