| " HeH Ine NATIONAL democracy
shall have succeeded in raisin;
revenue by reducing it's source
and cutting off its supplies, ther
will they have solved the problem
of daily eating and drinking to tn,
satisfaction of those who eat MOI
because they have not.
How many of the Texas papers
will fall meekly into line behind
that bond issue of the Democracy
who would have outsworn the ar.
my in Flanders over the iniQuity
of it had the issue been by Repub.
lican authority. 1t does make all
the difference in the world who
does it.
This congress is amusing the
country and worrying itself in the
futile endeavor to reverse the re-
lations of cause and effect. 1t is a
costly experiment to the country,
but the people wanted the fun, and
if they are ready to pay for it
whose business is it.
That dust nuisance, arising from
sweeping the streets when the
people are returning from the
opera in the evening, should be
vetoed by the council. The nui-
sance On Monday night was in
tOlerable.
The LIGHT that is published in
this city is like the path of the
lust; it shines more and more I'M
to the perfect day. Let her shine.
To this intent was she born and
for this purpose was she ordained.
The city fathers will find that
the most popular movement that
they can now make is a general
one for the improvement of the
streets and the surface drainage of
the principal thOrOughfares.
Good times may come in despite
of the Democratic attempt to pre-
vent, but if the Democrats had on
ly oiled the wheels of prosperity in
stead of sanding the track how the
wheels would have revOlved.
Selling bonds to pay Democrat
ic war debt was the resort of the
Republicans, but selling bonds in
time of peace to meet the deficien-
cy caused by their own fool policy
is Democratic eXpedient.
When a Republican candidate for
United States senate can poll 80
majority over his Democratic op-
ponent in the Iowa Legislature it
looks as the Hawkeye state was
returning to her mOorings.
Selling bonds for the payment of
the expenses of the government in
times of peace is something so I'M
usual that it is no wonder that
the country does not cotton to it
very enthusiastically.
This whole southwest country is
in bloom, and it will pan out i'm
mense fruit crops if Jack Frost is
only modest and does not insist on
printing his kiss on the cheeks of
the blushing blooms.
Workman seems to have cinch
on the state treasurership. Texas
has been fortunate in filling this
office with more honest men than
the other solidly Democratic states
have chosen.
Liberty begins with personal
freedom and ends with the free
dom of the nation from the bonds
imposed upon it from without.
There is no other freedom worth
fighting for.
"a new source of wealth for the
South'' is the caption of an article
in the last Manufacturer and Re-
corder. The best way to create
wealth for the south is to make it
Republican.
Modification has had it's day in
this country, hut Willis thinks
that it is in order to try it on in
Hawaii. He will find out that he
has incorrectly read the signs of
the times.
The blowers are making long
and numerous their burrows in this
southwest, and with abundance OF
rain a generous harvest will bless
their labors and fill their horns OF
plenty.
1t is a question in the mind of
tho T,aradO TiuaS which draws the
