If that newspaper expedition to
the north pole find that pole what
particular persimmon will it be in
order to knock down with it. To
what end is the waste of energy
and adipose tissue made?
The Democracy of the state
make all sorts of fun of Governor
Hogg, but they are not able to
checkmate any of his moves. The

Cleveland has actually ceased to
monkey with Hawaii, and his di-
rection of war vessels in the Pacific
has reference to Behring sea fish

Even he learns wisdom.
If this Democratic Congress had
kept faith with Cleveland after the
special session had declared against
free silver they would not have
had this veto to hit them in the
face like a boomerang.
Coxey is the worst fooled man in

ested in his movement beyond the
curiosity it has to see how many

The Waco Day Globe thinks that
either George Clark or Sui Ross
would fit into the seat in the United
States Senate, to be vacated by
Coke, as a ducks foot would fit in

Texas cattle come out of the win
ter poor and thin in flesh, but the
losses have been far less in South
west Texas than was feared when

tackled on to the tariff bill make
his excellency, the President, cav

prickly pear under the saddle

From the looks of the river above

cleaned of rubbish.
That seigniOrage bill was the
most unfortunate measure that the
Democrats have tackled this Con-

1t is toss up between the ar

Contractors should be scratching
gravel on that Gulf Shore road be-
