Brennan Banner:
The public school question will re-
ceive a large share of attention and
many amendments to the present law
will be offered, one especially in re
gard to the mode OF distributing the
funds to the different sections of the
state, which now takes $1,000 after
it has reached the treasury, says the
superintendent's report.
Kansas City Journal:
The pOpulist leaders are not reform
ers. They are poils-seekers-as sell
| fish, ungenerous and hungry as ever
were leaders of the old parties, whose
\ greed they condemn so loudly. The
principle that the office should seek
the man, lettered on their banners, is
ignored and violated by them in every
case where there is an office to be
filled. The treatment of Mrs. Lease
Is only one of the many evidences
that reform" politicians are no bet
ter than any other sort.
Waco Day-Globe,
Taxpayers and parents are wheel
ing into line in favor of . board of
trustees. elected by the people, to
manage the public schools in Waco.
An aldermanic candidates cannot es-
cape questions about their views on
this Important matter.
Boerne Post:
The most unique determination that
Texans ever saw was that of Cover
nor Hogg aud Harry Tracy, OF Dallas,
and Col. r J. Sledge, of Kyle, the
Populist leaders, going on fishing
excursion. The boat in which they
sailed was named "Formality and
Hypocrisy" and it never did, nor
never could, make the harbor OF
Felicity"
Topeka Capital
To hear the leaders of the popuIists
talk, one would think they owned
the United States, and especially
Khnsss. And yet even in Kansas not |
one.third of the state are populists. /
It lie doubtful whether they cast l00,- |
600 votes at the last election. They
have neither honesty, brains nor
numbers to establish their erurlous
claims.
Baird Star:
Always pay your subscription be- |
fore you stop your paper. In the great
hereafter, no matter whether you
land In Heaven or Hades, you don't
want to have the ghost of some pub
Usher that you have defrauded ia
this mundane sphere, hunting you to
lessen your joys or add to your mis-.
cry. Yes. It's better to pay all your
dents and especially the newspaper
fellows If you want any rest in the
hereafter.
Austin News:
The News is a democrat and it is
not an alarmist; but it has sufficient
foresight and sagaCity TO see the drift
OF things and it solemnly warns the
Texas democracy in advance that If
the twenty.third legislature makes
monkey of itself IS it's predecessor did
the next governor Of this state, along
with many congressman, will be
elected by the populists.
FL Paso Herald
And now comes the news from the
state capitol and through the medium
of the governOr's paper, the Houston
Post, that the past will not be en-
CURED iuto and that peace is desired
ia all hands. How gratifying this
news must bs to the democrats Of f!
PasO, where, with q maj ,rity of near
| Iy 900 in favor OF Clark, Charlie
| Davis and VIII Burgess are credited
| with being the only democrats VINO
| did not vote against HOgg. 1t re-
| moves cloud of suspicious unCsr-
tainty from the reputation of the
average I'll PasO politician. And then
100, how il must relieve our state sem
| atOr and our representatives., for their
| preference in the late campaign, if
such there was, remains buried IN
dark Oblivion aud need not now be
dragged forth to the light Of day.
New Orleans Item:
But the day for legaliEing lottery
in this state has gone Oy-not to re.
turn during the life of the present
generation perhaps, even in the pros
posed modified form of strictly state
lottery for strictly public purposes.
Still the unlawful games appear to be
more cOrrupting and demoralizing.
Tyler Democrat Reporter:
A great many men pretend that it
ID very necessary for them to carry
pistols in Texas at this late day
There is not q word of truth in it. un.
less q man creates the necessity him.
