AMONG THE EXCHANGES.
\ oakum Times:

Yoakum means increased trade for
our merchants, employment to large
mum Der of men, patronage for local
hotels and money for the progressive
men who are at the head of the enter
prise.
Karnes County News:
The hip-pOcket movement seems to
be more general in Dallas than the
movement in real estate. A town that
permitsssthe former cannot hope to
nave the latter. The pistol tOter and
the developer of the country don't go
we'll together.

| duriDg the fiscal year were $40, 74S,-

| Texas Home Corner:
Austin has received q temporary
| backset this week in the decision
handed down in the Dam injunction
case, but nobody believes it Is more
than temporary. Ii Is the general be.
lief that when the case goes back to
the lower court for trial the city will
WIN; and the only damage 1t can do
| will be the EN- barrasment that comes
from long delays. and the tendency
the decision may have to destroy the
city's credit.
| Pearsall News: -
We learn that q scheme Is now on
| foot to form new county out OF the
adjoining portions of Uvalde, Bande
ra, Kerr and Edwards counties. A
meeting OH the subject has already
been held in Uvalde. It is not likely,
however, the promoters will gain
their point, as the opposition is very
strong.
| Corpus Caller:
Instead of building expensive re-.
formatories for the suppression Of
crime, it would be better to build 8
| few more school houses. Education
| will do more towards Graduating
crime than all the prison reforma-
| tories in Chrlstendom.
| Waco Day:
Holding the views he does about
the constitu tiopality appropriating
public money for Texas representa-
ton at Chicago, Governor Hogg's
course in the past is rather surprising.
He has been diligent in unearthing
illegal deeds of years agone and In
shutting suits to recover land, TO
squeeze the water out of fictitious
bonds, etc. 1t Is q wonder he has not
| instituted suit against somebody to
recover that $40, 900 Texas spent on an
| exhibit at the New Orleans EXPOSE
ton when Ireland was governor.
Dallas Times Herald:
| All reports from Austin are that
Senator r. @. Mills will be re-
elected without opposition. A few
extaemis 8 want to see him defeated,
but they will not be grstified. Dallas
county and district did her full duty
in sending five votes to Austin in
struct ed for Mills.
Abilene Reporter;
The churches at Terrell are greatly
worked up over the attempt of the
| city fathers to legsliZe gambling
houses aud houses of ill fame. Rev.
II o. Moore told his congregation
that he was soliciting contributions
for foreign missionary work, but that
If the benighted beings for whose
benefit this collection was being
taken up were aware of the action of
the city council they would refund
the money with the request that it
might be devoted to chris tianiztng
that body.
Yoakum Graphic:
All good citizens OF Texas do not
approve of such labor and the appeal
of the people for the total repeal of
such a measure of licensing convict
employment should be given immedi.
ate atten ton. When q man receives
punishment by confinement, for of
lenses against the peace and dignity
of the state and its people, he should
suffer confinement and not be allowed
to compete his services with those
whose honest toll is their resource
and family bulwark. Down with
convict labor. 100,

The country Is not going to the
devil so fast as some of the croakers
would have us believe. The records
of ali the clearing houses in the Uni
ted States for the closing week of last
year show that the volume of money
passing through them was 1888, 525,-
272 greater than In the same time the
previous year, and nearly 20 per cent
