viable reputation as great sum-
mer resort. The place is crowded
with visitors, and the great rush
continues"
Fort Worth Mail: "The free
silver craze has about run it's course
and while it did run it scattered
financial ruin broadcast. There
are a few bull headed editors,
however, who refuse to see the
doom that awaits that supreme
nonsense, and attempt to bolster
up a crumbling cause by such eX-
pressions as congress has not yet
met"
& Dallas Times Herald: Each
congressman is now entitled to
clerk at 500 per month. Their
lordships in the senate are permit
ted to pay $3.50 per month for like
aid, besides employ clerks for their
various committees. This school
for young and aspiring statesmen
will open Aug. 9TH and probably
continue over three-fourths of
year"
Gillespie County Times: "From
the many train robberies which
are taking place now, it must be a
paying game and almost as easy a
way of making money at keeping
saloon or running a one-horse news
paper. Sometimes the train rob-
bers get shot, but then there are
unpleasant things in every bust
ness, and the modern "Dick Tur-
pins" don't appear to mind a little
thing like that"
Columbia Journal: Grover
Cleveland and Governor Flower
have given a word, which is ordin-
arily out of order and in bad
taste, a special place in our en-
phatic language, and we can use it
here as they did, and say that the
only high, true ground for an Off
Ger to stand upon is that which
enables him to say: "Where my
duty and honor are involved, the
office be ID"
New Mexico Optic: "The dying
vegetation for the lack of rain, is
nothing compared to stock on the
plains. Cows are deserving their
calves to die in their mad hunt for
streams or pools of water. Even
a hard-hearted Las Vegas butcher
was sickened at the sight he saw
near town the other day. In some
instances he could scarcely retain
from killing some dying calves
that lay by the roadside"
Oakland, Cal, Enquirer: "The
new king is always popular; the
coming prince is always a hero.
When Cleveland called Congress
together the price of silver went
up and stocks rose on the New
York market. This is human ma
ture; it assumes that political
remedy can and will be applied to
the ills of the country. Nobody
knows what it will be, and few can
agree what it ought to be, but
something good is looked for and
there is happiness in the auticipa
ton"
Canton Telephone: "Texas last
year sent out of the state about
$35,000,00O for bacon, lard, corn,
molasses and liquor to get drunk
on. The first four articles ought
to have been made in Texas, and
the last article should have been
left alone. The amount Of money
that might thus have been saved
would amount to about 500 for
every family in the state. With
cotton at present prices it is folly
to expect prosperous times while
there is such heavy drain on the
country"
Texas Farmer: "Roger Q. Mills
has made another speech on Jeffer-
sonian Democracy. Somehow, since
Mr.. Mills got into the Senate he
has contended himself with plati-
tudes. He said when a candidate
that the tariff was theissue; when
that was settled we could then
bend all our energies to obtaining
the free scoinage of silver. Mr..
Mills now is rather afraid we are
not to get free coinage. The rest
of the junta are opposed to it. We
offer to Mr.Miils a textlfrom Jeffer-
son that will do for thousand SER
mons. 1t is that the living and
not the dead shall rule"
