The Bohemians of the evening
press never do anything like that"
Galveston Tribune: "Thepresent
city administration could embalm
its memory in the hearts of the
people by providing for an abattOir
and garbage furnace. These, to say
nothing of increased sewerage and
that fresh water plant"
Houston Post: "a prominent
paper offers twenty-five dollars for
the most reasonable and ingen-
ious theory of the Borden murder,
not to exceed twelve hundred
words. There's an easy pickup
for the artist who did the work"
Corpus Caller: Arizona wants to
become a state. Since passing a
law making train robbery a crime
punishable by death, Arizona has
become a very respectable terrific
ry and we see no reasOn why she
wouldn't be equally respectable as
a state.
Waco News "Advices from the
lower part of the county state they
had a good rain in that section
Monday evening. Though this
county is not suffering as badly
from dry weather as some of the
neighboring counties, still a real
good rain would be quite accepta-
BILE"
Galveston News: "Judge Rea-
gan and other free silver advocates
refer to the fact that Mexico is a
country of silver money. 1t is
needless to add that in Mexico the
masses are paupers and that Mex
leo loses a deep discount on every
dollar of her own money that gets
over the line"
Uvalde News: "With our silver
dollars worth intrinsically about
fifty cents, do the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at it's
present ratio? With the present
lights before them it would seem
that they should be patriotic
enough not to desire to bankrupt
the government"
Texas Farmer: ebay by day
our courts are becoming more and
mere anneXes to u large monied
corporations, and u executive
officers the collecting agents of
this sty lie of aristOcracy. Inch by
inch the power to protect them
selves is slipping out of the
peoples hands, and whatever the
people lose the corporations gain
BRENNAN Banner: "Notwith-
standing the talk of treason and
assassinations and the trial of con-
spirators, peace and quiet reign
in Honolulu. The preliminary
examination of the alleged conspi-
rators, Walker, Crick and Sinclair,
has been finished, and Judge Caver
has reserved his decision until
July 3, when he will hold the men
for trial before a higher court"
Velasco Times: "No one is sur
prised that VelascO has been Sc
lected as the terminal of the north
and south railroad which is to be
built from the Canadian line di-
rectly to the gulf, Velasco not only
has the deepest water on the gulf,
! but it is also the most promising
seaport in the United States. 1t is
but natural therefore that VelascO
should get this greatest Of all the
trunk lines. All good things will
naturally enter here in time"
Galveston News: at is under
stood In we'll informed circles that
the report of Major Miller to the
Ichief of engineers at Washington
shows that there has been a gain
of one foot of water on the bar dur
ing the last twelve months. The
report made a year ago gave the
depth of water at NEAR low tide as
123 feet, consequently the last re-
port makes it AZ feet. This makes
a good 16 feet of water at high tide.
The report further indicates, it is
said, that there has been a very
considerable cutting away of the
bar"
Texas World: "The Republican
National Executive committee
have taken measures to aid the
small fry of their party who have
political battles to fight this fall.
They begin with Gov. Mckinley in
Ohio, and we are wondering if his
