STATE PRESS OPINION.

in. the lower country who have des-
titute people in their midst that if
application is made to the Relief
Committee here-D. Hirsch and II.
Clark, the appeal for assistance if
vouched for by some responsible per-
son, will be promptly responded to.
The committee has car load OF corn
for distribution among the sufferers
and If there are any needing aid in
the surrounding country it should be
made known at once.
Galveston Tribupe:-Ex-Governor
ireland declines to take any part In
the present gubernatorial canvass,
saying that las both men are DEM
ocrats the people should be allowed
to chose betw cen them without out
side heIp.n From this it is to be in
ferred that a man whe has been twice
governor is no longer one of the
people," but, like the ancient gods,
lies beside his nectar on high OIym
pus and looks down upon the trials
OF mortals with but dreamy inter-
est.
Bonham Times:-The third party
leaders declare that the country is
ruined. that the people are oppressed
with weighty burdens and distressed
beyond measure. How much truth
is there in such statements? 1t is
not q fact that the great majority of
the industrious, working masses of
Texas are better off than they were
five years ago? If not, why are tax
able values so much greater than
then? The fact is that there is much
more Gemagogy than truth in the
statements of the so-called reformers
This state, taking it as whole, is in
a prosperous condition.
Blossom Bee:-Unless Gov. Hogg
makes q better impression elsewhere
than he did in Fort Worth last We'd
return to Austin, chang his harp on
the willow" and prepare his traps,
for his return to Tyler. The more
that is seen of him the less people are
inclined to endure another term of
his administration and Hoggism.
Bracket News:-For our brothers.
benefit we state that the commission
is q law, and it can only be done
away with by the people. Mr.. Clark
wishes the people to elect the mem
bers of the commission. Mr.. Hogg
desires to appoint them himself.
This is the issue. If our brother of
the Sun desires Governor Hogg to
appoint the members of the commits.
zion, why does he not wish him to
appoint other officials as well?
Houston Post:-In making his war
on the homes OF the farmers of Texas
Governor Hogg has not even the ex
cuse OF the an I'll squatter argument.
These Texas settlers have bought and
paid for their homes. They have the
patents of the general land office
bearing the great seal of the state as
guarante of good faith and the va.
lidiry of their titles. Until the dawn
ing of Hoggism these were regarded
as the very best titles to land possible
to hold, Are we to have the Wyo
ming rustler ana Iowa eviction wars
repeated in Texas?
Velasco World:-The Gregg County
Clarion says France Is anxious for q
modification of the Mckinley bill,
and that she is now watching the
presidential election with great deal
ofinterest. Free trade Germany is
watching the election with interest.
So Is free trade England. All of
these free trade countries want free
trade in the United States. The
most unfortunate of IL all is that we
find a whole lot of rain bow chasers
in America aiding and sympathiziDg
with our foreign enemies of our great
country.
Houston Herald:-Candidate Hogg's
chances must indeed be growing des
perare when Gen. w. K. Handy and
other bankers of Austin feel com
PEELED to send $500 to Houston fol
the avowed purpose of seeking to de-
bauch those whose manhood and pc
litical principles are for sale. Honest
citizens, what do you tbink of such q
cause and such a candidate? A slusf
fund OF $500 to debauch the Floating
eIementw
Galveston News:-The democrat,
majority in congress has succeeded
admirably in rendering the election
of q democratic president so uncertain
that even Mr.. Cleveland may lose
he lie nominated. The democrati
party is weaker than it was whel
congress met and seems to be utterl,
unable to get itself together"
Velasco World:-The Rockdal
Messenger Gays that the Republics
editor who attempts to reconcile tn
platforms of New York and Colorad
State conven tions Is either q yer
courageous man or q candidate for tn
insane asylum. Breeding might loo
at the different Democratic platform
and find two or three crazy quil
make-ups.
Breckenridge Texian:-It is 81
premely ridiculous and inconsister
for county to resolute in favor VI IRE
