WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Fort Worth Mail-Telegram ::
"Ex. United States Treasurer
George S. Boutwell,, in the October
number of the North American
Review, has an interesting article
on the financial problem, entitle d
Changers of the Treasury" AS a
relief from the present embarrass-
ment he suggests that Congress
pass a bill requiring all import
duties to be paid in gold, and
when silver certificates once reach
the treasury that they be cam
celled and in their stead certifi-
Gates be issued which should not
bear the legend or export duties.
He also suggests that the coinage
of all silver be continued, and that
when bullion is deposited in the
treasury that silver certificates
not receivable for import or ex-
port duties be issued for the value
of such silver bullion in gold and
3 per cent additional. By such a
law he contends there would be
accumulated in the treasury
GOLD reserve sufficient to meet all
gold obligations, and make our
financial affairs in healthy con-
dition."

investigating Englishmen who
seek to find all about mob law
against negro rapists is still in
the United States, their attention
is respectfully called to the state
of Ohio, where in the past there
has been denunciations without
and against the south on account
of such law. Probably in Ohio the
committee can learn all they wish
to now without coming any fur

Tyler Democrat-Reporter: "The
people generally are too busy pick
ing cotton to give much time and
attention to politics; nevertheless s
as many of them as possible can do
so ought to 60 out and hear the
Democratic county nominees at
their various appointments over
the county. Barbecues, big dinners
ETC., ought to be gotten up all
around the circuit too, and let the
opposition know that we have not
lost our interest in good home
government. Politics out of the
question, the barbecues, basket
dinners and the coming Of the peo-
pie together does untold good in
social and other ways. We all
need to know each other better,
and then we would perhaps like
one another better"
Laredo News: "Just as might
have been expected, the ambiguous
terms of the state platform on
finance is beginning to breed dis
sensions in the party. The men
who have declared for the 16 to l
ratio are talking about trying to
squelch the honest money men"
Paris Advocate: "'Cyclone'
Davis makes a labored argument
to prove that he is Democrat
and then proceeds to denounce the
Democratic party for all the mean
things in the decalogue. Wonder
full man that fellow Davis"
Bolton Journal: "Oil and water
won't mix. A sound money con
tention is out of harmony with
fiatism. The Chicago and Omaha
deliverances on the currency are in
direct antagonism. The candidate
for office who undertakes to recon
cile divergent principles is trihinl
with his constituency.
