SANCTUM SCISsoRINGS.


it would to have it slaShed by
sane man.
Gonzales Inquirer:
Though McGaughey may be
cleared of the charges against him
by the legislature, the charges
against him will ever cling to him
like Banquo's ghost.
Lockhart Register:
Why does not President Cleve-
land appoint Mr.. Watterson to
some important position: 1t is the
current opinion, that he has more
sense than Cleveland.
Southern Toiler:
BY the way, brethren, be cautious
about this wild cat state bank
money. Don't be deceived by this
dodge. There is danger in it. 1t will
be attended with all the evils at
tending the national bank. One is
national, the other local and I'M
safe. 1t will be manipulated and
controlled by local spectators, to
your danger. We want the gov
eminent to insure control, and be
responsible for the currency.
New Orleans Daily Item:
The apparently irreconcilable
views and interests concerning
belt railroad are further shown by
the protest of the Public Belt Road
association, addressed to the city
council, against the Schneider belt
road ordinance. In the meantime
while considering the conflicting
projects, the Item again reminds
the council that the order of the
Federal court restraining them
from interfering with the prior
rights granted to one of the trunk
lines still hangs over the their
heads. Let this litigation be set
tied, then clear way to securing a
proper betting system may be
accomplished in the face of Judge
Pardee's injunction.
Waco News:
The st. Louis Republicans found
a way to detect with unerring GER
tainty the repeater at elections.
They call into play the kodak and
photograph the miScreant while in
the act of voting. \ kodak well
used might enable the public to see
who pays out the money and who
receives it, with which votes are
bought. The kodak may yet be-
come useful.
Sherman Register:
Mr.. McGaughey was in Sherman
when the county convention was in
progress last summer and some adj
mirCr of his moved that he be in
Vited to address the convention.
The motion was hotly fought and
Whiskers did not speak. He should
have spoken as he will likely never
have another opportunity.
Brennan Banner:
The country is safe. General
Thomas Paradise Ochiltree, the red
headed ranger of the Rio Grande,iS
once more upon the sacred soil of
his ancestors and has told a re-
porter of the New York Herald
that he will never leave the United
States again, but will spend his de-
cling years and be gathered to his
fathers in the land of the free.
Dallas Times Herald:
OF all President Cleveland APP
pOintees, the TimeS-Herald ven
lures to say none will enjoy the
hOnOrS more or wear them with
more credit to the mother country
than Hon. Alexander w. Terrell,
as minister to Turkey. Mr.. Terrell
is one of the brainiest and most
brilliant of our public men, ac-
complished in all the languages,
an eloquent speaker, fine CONVEX
and altogether well
qualified for the position to which
he has been appointed.
Two Republics:
The British make the proud
boast that on the Queens dOmin-
ions the sun never sets, but recent
Iy compelled statistics go to show
that on the central and most i'm
pOrtant parts of those dOminiOnS it
seldom rises. Mr.. George w. Bell
told the Royal Botanical society
the other day that during last year
had had 1911 hours of
out of possible 1880,
and that, he said, was better than
for the last five years past, of which
the average was 1887 hours. He
related as a remarkable fact that |
one day recently the sun had shOne |
in the society's gardens for eight |
and a half consecutive hours, an
almost unprecedented thing at this |
