THE TEXAS PAPERS SAY.

bett, and then silence the actor
pugilist, drive him from the stage
and from public hearing, patient
populace will be graceful. Corbett's
conceit is worse than Sullivan's in
temperance"
"Railroad discrimination in the
way of COMPRISING cotton is the
only thing just now that hampers
Galveston's commerce, and IL the
railroad commission can not re-
move it another way must be
found-indeed, will be found. The
interests of the chief seaport of the
state and of the producers who
want market here cannot be long
"held up" in this manner"
Canton Telephone: "Local OPP
ton with crooked boundary lines
is Just as good as il the lines were
as straight as "bee line" Pro-
hibition of the saloon business is
the thing desired, and crooked
line is as good as a straight line,
Just so the saloons are closed. See
the point "
Arkansas Beacon: "The most obi
Gus of all characters, who with the
scent Of the sleuth hound and the
odor of the skunk, are those who 60
around nosing into other peoples
affairs stirring strife and striving
to establish for themselves the
character of the jackal in resurrect-
ing the putridity of dead mems
bodies. Such wretched creatures
are the foes of peace and good order,
and as such ought to be looked up
on and dealt with as public enc.
mics wherever they go. Let the
self.constituted English nosing
committee take due notice and gov
ern themselves accordingly"
Arkansas Beacon: at always
seems strange to us when we meet
with one so abnormally construct
ed, so preversely constituted, as to
always be on the rules Of contrari.
ness with everybody and every
thing. This disposition sufficiently
cultivated leads to species OF
monomania, in which the unfortu-
nate individual is never happy, or
rather in a bearable frame Of mind,
except when inveighing against
some person or thing, which, to
some people is most sacred, dear
and desirable. There are the kind
Of persons out of whom in ancient
times the Master cast from one to
a legion of devils"
Houston Herald: "The fanatical
3.party folks are now claiming
that Christ was "populist." What
sacrilege. With the back of the
Masters hand to them, how can
they expect to win"
"Why don't politicians Of all
parties "ring off" and let poor old
Tom Jefferson have a little rest,
aud time to drink his Virginia
morning ''eye-opener"
"There has been some beautiful
engineering done in Houston. A
two hours decent rain will leave
water enough on the average
| streets to float a flat boat. The
manner in which the Taxpayers in
Houston have been robbed in the
way Of public improvements in the
past, is simply shameful. Every
thing seems to have been done
with a view only to completing the
job and drawing the money there
for. Houston is a growing town
and when she builds, she should
build for the future as we'll as to
day. No shoddy, half way work
should lie permitted"
Palestine Advocate: che way to
do up the pOpulist is to make the
canvass both an active and lOgi-
cal one. Abuse is not argument -
a lesson we have we'll learned from
the Populist himself"
Ennis Review: "While our over
pious neighbors over in Europe are
entertaining and encouraging theil
duSky American damsel, Ida
Wells, and list 9ning to her doeful
accounts of how her people are
being maltreated, they should Sc
cure an exodus OF a thousand o.
the meanest of her race and extend
to them some Of their sympathy
and note how it is appreciated"
Tyler Democrat-Reporter: "Th'
Pollard woman having failed tt
strike any boom on the stage, has
threatened to write a book of he
life. 1t will not require a book
just an ordinary flyer will do"
