HoGG's ignorance of the constitu-
ton of the state OF which he is acct
dentally governor is phenomenal.
This ignorance was seen in his send
ing nominations TO Office for confirma-
ton by the senate after the legal limit
had expired. 1t was even more con-
spicuously manifested last summer
when he informed Knight, OF Car
thage, that he could not hold the
offices of district clerk and justice of
the peace at the same time. Concern
ing this holding of duplicate office
the constitution says: mo person
shall hold or exercise, at the same
time, more than one civil Office OF
emolument, except that of justice OF
the peace, etc, unless otherwise
specially provided" Hogg is in need
of another term of the governorship
in order to learn the constitution, but
it would be rough on the state.

THE speaker of the house was de-
clsred before his election abundantly
able to prevent any attempt of the
republican minority to put in force
any Of their obstructive tactics to
block the progress of democratic leg
islation. The abortive attempt of
that overwhelming democratic ma
iOrity to force vote on the tree wool
bill does not bear out the promises of
Crisp's friends. Mills can look on
from his seat il the senate and enjoy
the situation.

THE gnat that enquired Of the OK
on whose horn he was perched if he
was firing him, was not in it with
the editor of the Laredo Times in his
references to General Stanley. The
Times man is hot over what the
General has said at Washington con.
corning border matters, and charges
that General Stanley is either in his
dotage, or unutterably ignorant of
affairs on the Rio Grande. The Times
is border journal and yet it has not
learned the alphabet of what Gen.
eral Stanley has forgotten about af-
fairs on the Rio.

THE democracy have tried to
capture Rhode Island by dwelling on
the benefit of free wool to the manu-.
facturers of that state, but not word
about the reduction of duty on wool
fabrics, which is part Of the demo.
cratic programme. When they try to
capture Ohio they will dwell on the
reduction of duty on wool fabrics, but
there will be very judicious silence
on the subject of free wool. This is
the piecemeal politics; afraid to tell
the whole truth, and yet without the
courage to lie.

NORTH Texas is not yet in HOgg' g
pocket by any means. Clark has q
very strong following in that section
of the state, and his influence is not
on the wane where the heavy vote of
the state is to come from in the fall.
At present the odds are strongly in
favor of the dark horse, but from
what stable that uncertain animal is
to come remains the mystery of the
situation.

THE papers of the state are wiser
in their aphorisms than in their
practical application of them. The
very papers that are loudest in their
advocacy of Hogg remark that the
individual is nothing and the state
everything, and yet Hogg has made
the individual everything and the
state nothing.

THE uniform text book bill was
killed by the exceptions that were
provided for Ia the bill itself. The
bill in so far as it sought uniformity
in the school books of the state, was
all right, and would have received
the support of the state had itpassed,
but the exceptions defeated the very
possibility Of uniformity and so killed
the measure.
