It is a mighty hard thing to run
a paper without making some re-
marks, in fact a paper that never
made any remarks would be a sor-
ny puper anyhow. Now il is high
ly probable that some may become
offended ct some remark in pa
per that was in nowise intended to
even wound their most tender
feelings. However in all cases we
viii grant space for anyone who
imagines that he has been wrong
by any ofthese off land remarks to
yentilate his thoughts. But we in
no case viii promise that 1.-THE last
condition shall be even worse than
the first

There may be some laws on or
statutes that are peculiar in their
tendencies, and fail to subserve
the purpose for which they were
intended, but as long as they are
laws, and as long as they are on
orr statutes they should be re-
specsed and enforced. The inter-
lest Of every well meaning citizen
demands this, and it is the duty
Of the public to see that the statu-
tory laws are enforced and obeyed.
If any law fails in It's intent or
works effects other than what was
intended, the proper steps to take
is to have that law repealed. The
public good depents upon the en-
forcement Of laws.

Ask your Congressman of the
5000 stationery fund set aside foI
his use how nuch he drew ont il
cash? If he says none, write to
Washington city and find out. He
is footing you. They frank their
letters, pay their stationery bills
out of the general fund, and then
draw the 5000 and pocket it. They
don't give in the name of any Pri-
vate Secretary, but draw the pay
and pocket the money. These are
all schemes to boodwink the farm
er whose children go barefooted
to pay these fat things. Put the
screws to this kind of political
cattle; turn your backs ON their
strikers; bring ont honest men to
beat them. Common honesty de-
mands it of you. Democracy must

Citizens Of our town, why not
mediate on the practicability of
THE Santa Fe tap. 1t has been re-
ported here thatif we were to con-
struet the road to the Santa Fe
that read would operate the tap
for us. But times have undergone
Ia mighty change since then. til
reasonable to believe that the San
ia lie would now operate the tap
road. San Saba needs a railroad
and this tap is within our reach.
a good honest effort is about all
thatis needed. How San Saba
can hope to compete with Its
ne;ghboring railroad towns is in
deed a wonder At least get to
thinking about this road anyway.

The men who compose the peo-
pies party in Texas worried with
the old rotten hulk called the
democratic party for a long time,
but finally despairing of correct
ing the abuses under which the
party labored, took the ark of dem
ocratic principles with them and
went out from among them. =
Peoples Voice.
Yes. they may have taken the
ark, but they sure left the princi-
pies behind Now here, what is
the use of all this useless mud
singing? These people that CON-
pose the peoples parts became
dissatisfied in The democratic party
because that party refused TO in
graft into its platform certain
principles or demands that these
people wanted. They then sprang
off and formed a political party of
their own with these principles
or demands as the basis of their
platform. And like all other
branches that sprang off from the
main stem, they claim that the old
original went astray; while the
new party or branch came along
and took up the original and true
principles. And how ridiculous
ly absurd it is to say that all the
purity Of the old democratic party
went out" leaving the corruption
and impurities in the old party.
There are good men in all parties
and in all creeds, and there are
also some corrupt ones too and
don'tyou forget it. Did you, dear
brother, ever observe the tender,
true and lasting love of mother
for her child? Did you ever OBJ
serve that no matter how disre-
spectful that child would speak of
its mother, or how bad the child
may be, nor what evil it may do,
that mother still loves her child,
and ever cherishes fond hope
for its welfare. Just so with the
democratic party towards its
child, the third party. The dem
ocrats still loves You fellows fondly
and tenderly, and cherish a fond
hope for your welfare. Don't
speak disrespectfulIy of your fond
old mother.

The State Bankers association
at San Antonio, May Is, passed
the following resolutions:
"Resolyed, That this associ-

act should be repealed.
That this association is opposed
to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. vote unanimous.
That this association thinks flat
the best interest of the PEOPLE
woule be subserved by adhering to
the single or gold standard. .
The people? Do you raise
cotton or corn or anything that
grows in the ground and sells in
the market? Doyou use the saw
and hammer? Do you drive q dray
around town, OF chip rock in the
quarry, OF delve in mother earth,
or make shoes, or run a freight
train, or toll in blacksmith shop?
Do you keep store or traffic IN
merchandise! Do you live by
labor and not by loaning money
If so you are not "the people a.
bout whose welfare those gentle
men are solicitous. A gold
standard means the least possible
money volume. The man who
lends money wants the greatest
possible interest on it; the scarcer
money becomes, the greater de-
mand thereis for it, and there are
but two resultant classes-the lords
and the serfs. Which are the
people.-Liying Issues.

San Saba, Texas,


Dear Sir:-Yours of the 9th inst
came duly to hand, and l beg your
pardon for not answering sooner.
Our grand jury, after subpoenaing
between four and five hundred of
the best people of the town, came
to the conclusion there was moth
ing in the case. Think the matter
was started Just for the fun there
was in it; or atleast that is what
one of the members of a Euchre
club told me as some of the men,
bers of the club took quite an ac-
tive part in prosecuting some crap
shooters, and this member happen
ed to be one of them that was
caught shooting craps. So he gave
the matter to the grand jury about
playing for prizes at Euchre Par
ties. 1t created quite a stir here
for awhile, but has about died out
now.
Let me know how your cases
terminated. Respt.

SAN SABA. TEXAS. JUNE ,, 1873.

A few thoughts from Sam Jones
Sunday sermon at Dallas.
Some Of the best men in the
United States are drummers, but
If you eau scare up a dirtier crowd
than some of them you will have
to take up a fine toothed comb and
rake them out Of perdition. They
are not only little but are mean,
and are not only mean, but some
of them stink.
1t makes me sick at heart for a
man to sit down with the fumes of
a ginhouse emitting from his
mouth ard say 81 have the best
mother God ever gave life to"
You need cow-hide, you low
down old hound you, and some of
you are going around saying Il
have the best wife in the world.
The Lord did big thing for me
when he gave me my wife" Yes
anu II / was Il decent woman, I'd
rather sleep with a wet dog than
to sleep with your sort.
Some of you country people
can't come to town without bring
ing your jug with you, and when
L get after you you look at me and
say IF l want to drink, it is none
of your business or anybody elses."
You are a liar. 1t is the business
of your poor little wife and inno-
cent children.
The biggest trouble in Dallas
to-day is the down right Infamous
hypocracy in the churches of this
town.
Just as morals stand above man
hers Just so high does a dog stand
above a swearing man for a COM
panion, or a hog above a drinking
man for companion.
Girls that dance may be as pure
IS the morning dew, but what
kind of cattle do they dance with?
You take the average ball room
buck in this town and amt he
dandy? [ wouldn't let my yearling
run with him. Every where [ go
the little ballroom bucks and dudes
get on their ear and say IN whip
him! I'll kill him. If 1 live uu-
til little ballroom dude kills me
Methusaleh will be a plum baby
by the side Of me. A crowd of
dudes once got around me and
talked like they were going to down
me. l said. IF you fool around
me Fllspit on you and drown you.
You spit on crowd of dudes and
if they can't swim you've got them
right there.
The quarrel that l make with
young ladies is, that they are not
half so particular as the boys are.
Take one of the drinking and cuss-
ing and immoral boys. You'll 90
with him when yon know he
drinks and is unclean. But if you
would walk into a saloon and get
a drink that very fellow wouldn't
be seen with you. He is more
particular than you are.
