AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Seminary and DR.. Parkhurst says
it was a silly thing, and the doctor
is no doubt right. The boycott is
a weapon that more often hurts
thoes who use it than those that it
is aimed at.
tort Worth Mail-Tel.: 1t would
not be a bad idea in view OF scenes
enacted during the session OF the
last Texas legislature for the state
to build an annex to the capitol to
be used as a lodging and boarding
house at cut rates for the benefit OF
the legislators; either that or the
people should elect a different class
of men to make their laws.
Houston Age: The United
States Supreme Court is just now
deciding some questions OF inter
national as well as of national in
terest. 1t has just decided the
amendment to the Chinese ex-
clusion law constitutional, that
makes custom collectors judicial
officers and requires them to arrest
intruding Chinese.
Galveston News: One of the
most significant utterances OF Cen
eral Wade Hampton in his speech
over the confederate dead in Chic
ago was this: "Of the 5000 con-
federates buried here not one was
an officer. All were privates and
in no way responsible for the un-
happy war which brought woes up
on our country" War is especial
ly hard on the private.
Ell Paso Herald: What remains
from the proceeds Of the $4,000
artesian water bonds should be
used in boring for artesian water.
The proceeds of the $4,000 bonds
should be used for providing the
city with a good system Of water
works at once. II artesian water Is
obtained it can soon be connected
with the water system. The peo-
pie voted the bonds for these pur-
poses and their proceeds should be
used accordingly.
Houston Post: The consul gen.
eral for Japan in New York is en-
thusiastic over the growth Of cot
ton mills in Japan. He says:
"You see, labor is so very cheap in
Japan that we Ia manufacture cot
ton cloth at comparatively small
expense, and / look to see cotton
goods, made there from the raw
material shipped from the South,
returned to this country and sold
at a profit. The cheapness Of our
labor will render this possible"
The cheapness Of labor in Mexico
is the important factor in the large
profit OF silver production in that
country. And so it Is in all silver
countries, the labor does not re-
ceive its fair share Of the profit of
production.
New York Evening Post: When
President Cleveland last summer
assumed the power to order feder-
al troops into a state, without a re-
quest from It's governor, and even
against the ~latter's protest, in order
to stop obstruction of the mails and
interference with interstate COM
merce, Judge Cooley of Michigan
expressed the opinion that "a
great and valuable lesson in con-
stitutional construction has been
settled for all time" This opinion
has been justified by the unani-
nous decision Of the United States
supreme court in the Debs cas yes
terday, fully indorsing the course
taken by the president, and assert
ing the supreme power OF the fed
eral government in such an emer-
gence.
BRENNAN Banner: 1t is not
the men who have need Of money
that are the best collectors, but it
is the men who have the strictest
sense of business tidiness. These
men do not feel that their book
keeping is complete until every &C
count is balanced by payment.
System makes them better coliec-
tors than necessity makes others.
Greenville Herald: Dissatisfac-
ion is contagious. The American
people are becoming a great army
III Kickoff. lue HAL WHO WON
get upon his hind legs and howl
sn't in the fashion. 1t is true that
here is much just aus for COM
blaint, but it is also true that i'm
kgination is running riot.
Corpus Caller. The Caller fears
here is going to be trouble again
It Laredo over local politics il the
people there are not careful.
there are said to be something
ike eight little Mexican papers
unning there now full to the brim
With local politics. One of these
bapers came out a few days ago
alling very hard names, liars, rob-
|ers, etc. The election is near,
leven months of, and we think
he papers should let up for a while
t least until next winter.
