| There will be a heartiness in the
Republican THANKSGIVING this
year that they did not possess a
year or two since.
There will be less rabid silver
talk in the Congress of this country
for the next two years than there
has been in the past. The leaven
of a sound bimetalism is getting in
it's work.
Japan has any idea OF selling
the Hawaiian islands she had bet
ter send out preliminary inquiry
into Uncle Sans feeling on that
point. Japan is not dealing with
China in this matter.
To the Galveston county election
fight at the polls succeeds the
fight over the count. There is no
prospect of settling the question
short of the district court, and
then only by compulsion.
Japan is too small and wears
the wrong kind of clothes to girdle
the seas with her conquests, and il
she IS wise she will not ask i'm
pertinent questions Of any of
Uncle Sans wards.
John A. Reagan as permanent
cy on the railway commission does
not seem to be greatly relished by
the good people of Texas, even by
those who clamored most loudly
for Reagan and the Commish.
Potatoes in the north are prov
ing much more profitable crop
than wheat, and to the southern
farmer the corn and truck patch
will prove what the potatoe patch
does to the northern agriculturist.
The man in the south who
markets his small grain in the in
side of his beeves and sends his
cattle to market in prime condi-
ton is going to come out ahead
when the years returns are all in.
The New Orleans States has it in
for the leaders of the Democratic
party, most of whom it brands as
traitors. Another two years and
the States will turn the whole
party out Of doors.
The Democrats in this section of
the great vineyard are rejoicing
that the party was not fatally
shocked last election. Only electro
cution could be worse, and that is
certain to occur next time.
The Manufacturers Record con-
tinues to preach the gospel OF
southern Industries and the need
of their protection in all ears,
whether the free traders will hear
or forbear.
North Cardinals experiment
with the working Of convicts on
the public road is sufficiently sue
cessful to induce like experiment
in Texas. The LIGHT has been
praying for it for years.
Missouri Democrats, like those
of the Twelfth Texas district, lay
the flatering JUNCTION to their souls
that lightning does not strike
twice in the same place. But it
does all the same.
Colorado should have bottled up
Waite when she had a chance.
To turn him loose to ravage an en-
tire continent is too great price
for Colorado's relief from the gov
eminent Of such a crank.
Robert Lincoln is slated for a
try at the senatorship of Illinois.
His father made more capital as a
candidate for the senatorship that
he did not get than would suffice to
set Bob upin state.
Chicago, Rock Island and Paci-
fic have evidently made up their
minds to build to the Gulf, but
just in what direction they will
push their constructions is not at
present definitely known.
Fort Worth Gazette has an arti-
Gle GAIL About the Southern Girl"
1t would take more paper than the
Gazette uses in year and 1t would
bankrupt its imagination to tell
all about the S. G..
Houston has the races this week
and you will hear Of no kicking
from the denizens OF the Bayou
City. They take everything
straight that goes on in Houst on
and swear by it.
Any attempt to christianizt
those heather Turks is so much
sweetness wasted on the desert
air. II a fear of hell will not deter
J them from their atrocities it i!
