gin to feel the effect of the Chick
asaw and Choctaw appropriations.
Denison has good reason to crack
her heels together. Things are
coming her way"
Waco News: "The editorial ut
terances of leading English papers
on the Siamese ENHANCEMENT wired
yesterday, breathes threatening
spirit. If the British cabinet should
partake of the same spirit England
may have a use for her fine armOred
ships other than ramming each
other"
jefferson Jimplecute: "The A
merican czar is cash. Congress
and all the churches hadn't power
enough to prevent the opening of
the Worlds Fair on Sunday, but
as soon as it was ascertained that
the attendance on Sunday was not
large enough to pay expenses the
doors were ordered closed"
Houston Post: "Houston is the
great gateway and distributing
point of all the great highways,
and commerce will go from this
point to the place offering the best
advantages for shipments. 1t is
not situated Immediately upon the
Gulf shore, but at the head of tide
water, and is something of sea-
port Itself, and commands them
all"
Sherman Register: "South Caro-
lina's new liquor law is encounter
ing many obstacles. a district
Judge has refused to issue papers
for the search of a liquor mans
house, claiming that if such a
course was followed no citizen
would be safe. Gov. Tillman has
evidently an elephant on his

Galveston News: at is to be
hoped that the premonitory SYM
toms of a bloody European war
may pass away, and that the world
may be at peace; but if war
should come on, involving France,
Siam, China, England, Russia and
the rest, it is safe to predict that
American wheat would run up to
at least 81 per bushel."
Eagle Pass Guide: "Hay is at a
premium throughout Europe, $50
and $40 gold being the price, with
the demand practically unlimited.
There are sections in Mexico where
excellent hay crops could be put
in and harvested within ten
weeks. This crop would be a
much better medium for the pay
ment of interest and sinking fund
of Mexico's foreign debt than the
deprecated silver dollar"
Globe Democrat: That dead
and discredited force bill will not
raise up any allies for silver.
Many Republicans opposed that
measure who were antagonistic to
free silver, and who are today
champions of silver law repeal.
The Southern Representatives and
Senators who will vote against re-
peal in the present eXigency are
those, and only those, who would
do so even if the silver states had
supported the force bill.
Velasco World: "Texas has
more coal area than Pennsylvania,
! more iron than Alabama, more
granite than New Hampshire,
more oak than West Virginia,
more prairie than Kansas, more
corn land than Illinois, more cot
ton land than Mississippi, more
wheat land than the two Dakotas,
more sugar land than Louisiana,
and more rice lands than South
Carolina. 1t contains as many
rivers as any other five states and
as much coast as any 9th er three"
Two Republics: "a local con-
temporary has discovered the
cause Of the present crisis in Mex
leo. According to that authority
it is not the drop in silver, as
everybody had supposed, but the
railroads subsidized be the gov
eminent. This contemporary does
mot suspect for moment that the
increase of Mexico's expectations,
importations, general commerce,
industries and property has any
connection with the construction
of railways. Yet the nations trade
amounted to little before the rail-
ways were built"
