THE TEXAS PAPERS SAY.

berries never come singly, but in
punches. We are to have the circus
and Populist campmeeting at the
same time"
"The farmer who spends his
time talking politics while his
crops are being overrun with weeds
and grass, is usually the man who
complains loudest Of hard times"
"The Populists are down on cap
italists, and yet we have never yet
seen a Populist who would not
like to be a capitalist himself. Con-
sistency, however, is not strong
point with the Poppies."
Jefferson Jimplicute: "The pass
ing of Breckenridge will probably
bring about a revision of the opin-
ion long prevalent at Washington,
that personal morality does not
effect the popularity OF public
man.
Yoakum Graphic: "Bacon and
hog meat of all kinds are again
skyward in prices. Bulk pork is
retailing at IL to IL cents a pound,
and merchants here tell us they
expect it to be IA cents in a little
while. All of which says to Texas
farmers "plant hogs"
"The San Antonio Express has
discovered that the politics Of the
city council of San Antonio is Re-
publican. If the Express will now
make search for it's own politics
it will perhaps not be very much
surprised to find they are about on
the same line"
Fort Worth Gazette: "The fell
low who thought he could accom-
plish more by writing the songs
than by writing the laws of the
country did not count on the ma.

of his vocal effort"
1.-TWO squaws of an Usage brave
killed with knives white woman
who testified in court against their
husband. Here is touching and
| conclusive proof that the Indian
has lost none of the fidelity that
has been so conspicuous in his
character since the days Of Pow
haitian"
Fort Worth Mail: "Fort Worth
is always willing to aid any de-
serving enterprise that needs as
sistance, but the people of the city
are too we'll posted to be led into a
scheme to pay a man to induce
him to do well. If any enterprise
wishes to come to this city and
can dowell by coming, it is not
the business of our people to- pay
for the location"
Houston Post: "There is a
croaker in town who is kept con-
tinually lodging to avoid being
run over by the band wagon, and
he finds some satisfaction in pre-
diction that the band wagon is on
the eve of going to smash"
Galveston News: "Some short
sighted partisans are still scuffling
with the idea that is necessary to
keep up the old-time boisterous
campaign boasting and lying in
order to elect the Democratic can
didates in Texas. The Demo-
cratic ticket can be elected with
out such foolishness, and if it can
not it deserves defeat"
Canton Telephone: "The Tele.
phone has many friends who are
strong anti-prohibitionis and
we hope to retain their friendship,
but we can not do so at the ex-
pense of endorsing the saloon bust
ness. We will be true to our con-

"But few towns in Texas have
come out of the kinks as Canton
has in the last two years. At least
thirty elegant residences have been
