THE TEXAS PAPERS SAY.

Houston Herald: "All thinking
people seem to be Of the opinion
that it has been costing too much
to run our state government. On
this subject, Hon. John B.Schmitz,
reform Republican candidate for
governor, in his opening speech at
Dallas said: ga remedy is what
the people want, and they don't
want it in the shape Of increased
taxation either. | think there is
too much extravaganza INDUCED
in,in the running OF this state gov
eminent 1t is also believed the
expenses of enforcing the criminal
laws can be reduced between $780,
600 and 100000 per year and at the
same time give greater efficiency
to the enforcement OF our laws, and
thereby increase the general regard
of law and the certainty Of it's en-
forcement."
Gen. G. A. Culberson, the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, was
the first to declare himself on this
important question, and no one
doubts that he will do what he
says he will after his induction in
to Office"
"The cry of the Democratic par
ty is for cheap goods. Cheap is a
detestable word, unfit for the use
by an American. 1t is the badge of
poverty, it is the signal of distress.
Statistics show that when things
are the cheapest men are the poor
est. Times are the best when
every body gets a good price for
what he has to SELL"
Victoria Advocate: "Mustang
grapes are now being gathered for
vintage, and as the crop is very
abundant, there will be hundreds
of barrels of wine made in Victoria
county this autumn. There are
fortunes in the manipulation of
the Mustang grape in Southwest
Texas. Thousands of bushels of
these grapes are suffered to decay
every year for want Of energy to
convert them into merchantable
wine."
ga party of about seventy-five
immigrants of the better class,
mostly Swedes, from Mcpherson,
Kan, came over the Victoria divi-
sion of the Southern Pacific yester-
day. The special train train that
brought them into the state con-
sisted Of eleven box cars filled with
live stock and agricultural imple-
ments, one baggage car and two
passenger cars. About one half of
the immigrants stopped at Ell
Campo and the other half went on
to Port Lavacca. County receiving
such additions to their population
are fortunate"
Corpus Christi Caller: "The Cue
70 Star, the personal organ of the
Hon. V. Weldon, in speaking of it's
master, says: "He will get nearly
the full Republican and Populist
vote and will be elected by safe
majority" Thus it will be clearly
seen that the only hope of the gen.
tleman who claims that he was
brought into the race by the indie
pendent Democrats is in the vote
of the Republicans and Populists.
A sweet scented Democrat is the
Hon. V. Weldon, to be sure.
Texas Globe: George H. Noon
an, the Republican candidate for
Congress, is a staunch believer in
sound finance and protection to
home industries and should re-
ceive the united support of all Re
publicans and all who desire the
prosperity of our country"
BeeviIle Picaudne: "The paper
that the people take and read is
the paper for business men to ad.
vertise in"
Houston Age: ain the time al.
lowed for registration the law is
very liberal, and if any citizen fails
to register and on that account
looses his vote, he has nobody but
himself to blame for it. That any
citizen really intends to fail to reg
lister, and to loose his vote, is not
at all probable, but one sometimes
does from negligence what he
would not do Intentionally. To
