COmanche Chlef: "Ine elgnt or
nine little silver states of the west
cast nearly fourth of the vote of
the Federal senate. No equal popu-
latiOn anywhere exercises so much
political power. And yet they are
being fearfully prosecuted, to let
them tell it.
Waco Day Globe: "The national
bank system can never be abol-
ished in this country until the fed
eral government is ready to issue,
endorse and regulate every dollar
of money (metal and paper that
circulates in the United States"
Columbia, S. c., Journal: THAT
promised 100000 to accrue to the
state, through it's liquor business,
does not seem likely to eventuate.
An unbiased correspondent says
that the state will be lucky if the
cost of the experiment does not eX-
coed the present appropriations"
Arkansas Press: The people of
the south are fools if they let the
creditors of the north bluff them
into a repeal of the Sherman law
without a substitute that will pro-
vide for them more money. Let's
trade with them. Reduce the tariff
and strike off the 10 per cent bank
tax.
Memphis Public" Ledger: 1--WE
are grieved to say that courts are
losing, in the worlds eyes, caste
and power and dignity. They
used to be honOred and even re-
vered, and lawyers were masters of
society and leaders in government
and monopolists of offices. This is
not as true today as in the by-gone
years, and courts and lawyers are
only incidents of the public meet
ing, and products of DEGREES of the
masses who undertake the discus
sion and disposition of all public
questions"
Two Republics: "a revival of
placer mining is NOTED in Color
ado and a production of gold for
the year considerably in excess of
that of last year is reported. The
eeep pold-producing mines are al
so increasing their activity. 1t is
altogether likely that similar re-
ports will soon be coming frcm all
the mining states. in case the pres
ent depression of silver continues.
They have already been heard
from Nevada. Miners and prospec-
tors will continue to find fields for
their enterprise"
Houston Post: "NOthing ever
did so much for this state as the
Texas Car Exhibit on it's northern
and eastern tour, because it show
ed the people what Texas had.
Think Of the thousands who would
see these products in the State
building at Chicago. The Post
would like to see the people gather
up these exhibits and send them to
Chicago, with money enough to
make it possible for the ladies to
maintain the building as it should
be done. The state has been dis
honored by this long apathy on the
part of the people,"
Tyler Democrat-Reporter: "Wa-
co is ordering her melons from
Smith county. Peaches are being
shipped by the carload to Chicago.
Say, Dallas News, listen: the fruit
of all kinds received from Tyler
and Smith county this year, equals
if it does not surpass that shipped
from California. Savoy. And note
Dallas News: why is it that no
fruit is ordered from Dallas county?
Can't you raise anything but navi-
cation? Well, don't worry, but
keep on in the work you have be-
gun, and we will raise all the fruit
your navigation company can
ship"
Galveston News: "TeXas feels
very kindly toward Colorado and
all the great west and will hope
that all their industries may be
able to maintain the highest state
of prosperity consistent with JUS
tice and the general interest. At
the same time it is obvious that
discretion in the use Of prediction
is the part Of prudent business
men when looking to their home
interests. There are many prob
lens which look forbidding but
are not so bad as time develops
other circumstances. The wise
man will rarely utter his most de-
spondent thoughts and the good
man will rarely listen with both
ears to the suggestions of such
thoughts. There are at least some
blossoms of hone on every cloud
