Arkansas Press: "Between the
gold bugs of Wall street, and the
silver mine owners of the west, the
country is in bad row Of stumps;
but there is financial policy be-
tween these two extremes that
should be adopted"
Washington Post: "The contest
in the courts of South Carolina over
the cOnstitutionality of the Till
man dispensary law has culminat-
ed at last in an issue between the
circuit bench and the supreme
bench, and the outcome is involved
in doubt"
Texas Farmer: off Crisp has
agreed to sacrifice silver to appease
the Unsuitable greed of the gold
bugs, he should be beaten for
speaker. The Chicago platform
must be carried out and bi-metal-
ism be reestablished, and traitors
to that platform need expect no
mercy from the people,"
Cincinnati Post: "a good illus
-tration of the way the price of a
commodity is regulated by the de-
,mand and supply is found in the
fact that the Louisiana planters
have made no more money out of
their enormous rice crop of 2,OOO,-
1000 than they have heretofore
made from their average crops of
100000 bags"
Galveston News: "Artful adj
.jectives and cloudy parenthetical
clauses will not avail the great
men of our country in the present
emergency. They will have to
make known to the people just
where they stand this year. The
ordinary double meaning of the
platform and artful lodging on the
stump will not satisfy this time"
New Orleans States: "The south
is deeply grateful for the assist
:ance which the senators from the
silver states gave her and which
enabled her to defeat the force
bill, but at the same time the
south cannot pay the debt she
owes to Colorado, Nevada and two
or three other western states by
voting against the repeal of the
. act which is bringing disaster upon
the whole country"
Floresville Chronicle: "The feud
between County Judge Mcdaniel
and Attorney Templeton, at WaXa-
hachie, has been settled. Temple
ton was fined 5000 in the county
court, and the judge would not al
hi 70 in nj
until the fine was paid. Temple
ton sued out writ of habeas cor
pus before Judge Hurt, but before
it came up for hearing, friends in
'Serfered and peace was made"
Houston Post: "There was much
disappointment in the audience at
fthe pOstponement of the Shaw
hanging for a week. Some had
been standing around the Jail for
twelve and twenty-four hours and
were mad at the governor for post
poning the performance. Shaw
himself had appealed for short
respite, and in matter of life and
death seven days is not long to
wait. 'Put yourself in his place."
Corpus Caller: at is rumored
that the Houston Post is going to
purchase the Fort Worth Gazette
and that the two papers will be
run under the same management.
If the rumor turns out to be cor
rect, the two Newses will then
have strong opposition at both
ends of the line. The success of
the Post since it has been under it's
present business and editorial
management has not been short of
phenomenal and it has now
reached point which places it in
the front rank of Southern jour-
nalism."
Cleburne Chronicle: of this
country does not need a bankrupt
law surely it never did Bad in
Uestments, speeulations, vicious
and internal legislation by dema-
gogues and ignoramuses have
ruined thousands of men through
out the country. Among the class
whose energies for the present are
paralyzed are the projectors of
public enterprises, the construc-
ton of railroads, factories, the
bailding up of towns and cities,
the, class who when they made it
circulate, they should have
chance to wipe out and COM
