A FEW CLIPPINGS.

Inc Marlin Democrat says
To The Waco News: "Go soak
your head"
THE News does not follow the ex-
ample of its Marlin contemporary
which wears Hoggshead without
brains.
The Mexia Ledger says:
"The Legislature spent a good deal
of the peoples money in that debate
on the resolution to instruct our rep.
resentatives in congress to vote for
the free coinage of silver-especially
since they are all already unequivo.
cally pronounced in the advocacy of
the measure"
If it had not been for Mills vote
the silver bill would have been killed
the first pass out of the box.
The Hallettsville Herald says;
Judge Terrel's speech at Geroge-
town shows that time has not impair.
ed the judges powers of virile and
vigorous utterance."
Virulent and vicious would better
describe his powers as shown by that
speech.
The San Antonio Express thinks
honors are even. 1t says
"Clayk in his early canvass has taken
no advantage of the governor. If the
campaign from the executive mansion
has been neglected, it has not been
Clark's fault, nor Hogg's either. The
greatest disadvantage of Hogg is in
Hogg.'
The Tyler gang do not think so, be-
cause they claim all the advantage is
in Hogg OF Tyler.
The first number of the Texas Icon
oclast has arrived and shows no dis
position to allow single fly to alight
upon the present gubernatorial in.
cumbrance. 1t says:
Governor Hogg prides himself
upon being a great constitutional
lawyer. yet that parti-colored instru-
ment has been falling atop of him ever
since he blossomed out as attorney
general"
And again
"a Contemporary says that "Judge
Clark is not the only able and honest
man in Texas" Quite true; but he
is the only one SO tar heard from that
will enter the Gubernatorial race with
fair prospect of defeating james
Stephen Hogg, and removing the
hemp halter that is slowly strangling
the state. Either Clark or Hogg will
be the next governor. Papers that
are beating the brush for other can
dldates are playing into the hands of
Hogg-. and know it"

rs 1T TYLER OR TEXAS.

The speeches of John NJ. Duncan
and n. Webb Finley at the Chiffon
obsequies were illustrative of the
Tyler methods. These men make the
issue one of get there Tyler the state
Of Texas be damned. They are will
ing to sink Texas to hold the Offices
in the grasp of Tyler. The spirit of
intolerance which prompted Finley to
demand paddock for the mouth of
every man in Smith county who dared
to enter a protest against the Tyler
usurpation, would stiflle opposition in
every county IN the state if it had the
power 1t is objectionable presump-
ton in the eyes of the Tyler milk
maids for any Texas voter to deny
the right of Tyler men to hold all the
offices or dispose of them as they see
fit. The idea that Texas should be
represented by any body not of their
choosing seems to them preposterous,
1t is the Tammany idea, transferred
from the slums of New York to the
offices OF q coterie of railroad attorneys
in Texas principally in Tyler, nour.
ished by the love of spoils and pro.
tected from the, to it, chilling blast Of
public disapprobation by the police
mans club. This is not exaggera-
ton, for the demand that every Tyler
man shall subscribe to the Tyler
creed or leave the country means the
same thing. There has never
been word uttered by any one of
the Tyler gang as an argument tend
ing to show that it would be to the
interest of Texas to retain Governor
Rogg and his minions at the
helm of state. Their attitude
from the first has been one of inso.
lent self assertion raising no question
save that Hogg is governor, Tyler his
home and Texas his meat, and they
resent, as piece of impu-
dence any effort of the people to give
anybody slice who does not wear
the collar of the Tyler gang. They
do not attempt to disprove the asser-
ton that Texas is tainted with the
foul breath OF the Tyler
demagogue and that the
savory influence of craftsmanship has
not been applied, and that as a conse-
quence the material business inter.
ests of the state are for the want of it,
almost in q state Of decomposition.
They assume instead that it is the
duty of the people to accept the Tyler
methods though the hair and feathers
come off. 1t will take the purest
craftsmanship to save Texas from the
political putrescence that results al
ways to the body polite from failure
to apply the principles of Democracy.

The Kansas City, Mo-, daily papers are
complaining at what they are pleased to
term the unreliability of reports sent out
of political meetings in this state. That
would be rich piece of humor to Kan
sans if it were not based, frequently, upon
aggravating misrepresentation, made
in almost every such case by "special''
correspondents of those papers, and &C.
casionaliy by an alleged Associated
Press report that by some mysterious
means gets into the dispatches. When
the complaining Missouri papers require
their special correspondents to cease
their exaggerations and tell the truth
they may expect a cessation of the griev-
ance they allege against Kansas. But
we apprehend the complainants usually
get what they want in the way of newsC0
from this state.

MOSQUITO PREVENTION,

| A correspondent at Siam of the Sci
entific American of the 10th inst, says
that the people there throw an iron nail
in vessel Of water to prevent MOS
quitoes. The rusting of the nail pre-
vents the development of the mosquito,
after a few days. This is fastened by
heating the nail red hot and throwing it
into the vessel. A few drops OF kero-
sene has the same effect A barrel of
such oil set leaking at the source Of
nonds and marshes will protect a large
neighborhood against the pests. A few
drops spread over great surface Of
water, and the wigglers never can rise
to the surface so covered. Once the
source of all the surface water is found
any place can soon be guarded from
mosquitoes.
This is gratifying information of the
prospective sort, but if the correspondent
or the periodical quoted would earn a
place in the everlasting remembrance of
present sufferers from the little winged
tormentors, let him or it prescribe some
thing that will paralyze the singers of
those that escape the other methods of
prevention. Homeopathic prevention is
better. but in its absence alopathic cure
will have to do, and will be gladly &C.
ceDted.

LAND VALUES IN WESTERN KANSAS.

Salina Republican: ''This is a great
year for the Kansas farmer. In western
Kansas their wheat is bringing them as
much as the land that produced it is
worth. In southern Kansas they have a
good crop and corn will command high
price, while man in Jefferson county
reports that his watermelon crop is
yielding him 500 per acre net. Kansas
beats the world when she has fair
chance" The EAGLE quite agrees with
the Republican in the foregoing, except
in its reference to the value of the land.
The wheat crop of western Kansas is no
doubt worth as much as the land upon
which it was grown cost its owners, but
to say the crop is worth as much as the
land is worth is saying too much. In
some cases the proceeds of the crop may
be enough to purchase the land produc
ing it, but even this Is not fair estimate
of the real value of the land. The fact
is, most of the wheat land in the western
part Of the state is next to invaluable,
and is so held by its owners.
