red up and kept up by the Office
holders and office wanters, and not
by the people. Just now the peo-
pie are too busy with more i'm
portant and pressing business
that is, in efforts to produce some
thing for the country to subslst
upon-something more substanti-
al than windy politics.
Yoakum Graphic: II the fine
rains we are having are causing
the decline in the price OF cotton
how is it they do not cause a de-
cline in the price of corn? The
people hereabouts are now buying
corn for their home use, and would
like to have some theory by which
it could be reduced.
New Orleans States: Parnell,
the man-killing lion, the tirece
monarch of the African Jungle,
had his second fight with a Mex
lean bull at Monterey yesterday,
but he was so badly licked in his
encounter with the first toro that
he refused to fight the second one,
and continued to dodge and whine
until the bull cornered him and
gored him to death. We must all
now hail Ell Toro Mexicano as the
king of beasts. He is the toughest
Of all customers that walk on four
legs.
Galveston News: The Marquis
de Castellane, father of the young
Frenchman who recently married
an American heiress, declares that
we Americans "are not a nation,
but an agglomeration Of individu-
ais, reunion of men without an
cestors." Ii we are without an
cestors why did the Marquis de
Castellane bring his boy across and
marry him to one OF US.
Brennan Banner: The Missis-
sippi Valley Congress of Women
in allowing men to vote at it's pro.
ceedings, has heaped Goals of fire
on the heads of those Of the plain
sex who refuse the fair sex the
right of suffrage.
Galveston Tribune: The silver
extremists are really creating pre-
judice against the white metal by
their insistent demands for coin
age at debased values.
Fort Worth Gazette: Illinois,
Iowa, Ohio and Missouri are assur-
ed to the Bimetallists in the next
national Democratic convention,
which means that the administra-
ton candidate for the presidential
nomination will not get a half
dozen votes west OF the Allegheny
mountains.
Denison Herald: Wheat and
corn are making an unshakable
stand against the assaults of the
bears. Likewise cotton. Likewise
stocks. Evidence continues to
multiply that this is to be bull
year.
American Economist: The
Free-Trader was, and still is, full Of
what it terms the good things COM
ing to the people through the new
Tariff, but he is as silent as the
grave upon the attendant evils.
The reductions in the cotton sched-
ule alone are sufficient to wreck
the combined industries Of the
South and East, for many Of the
activities OF these sections draw
life and existence primarily from
the cotton industry. To affect it
seriously means injury to the
whole.
Manufacturers Record: There
is no doubt that Alabama has lands
of high grade of fertility, and we
believe no one would question the
fact that it is on a par with any Of
the other southern states in point
of agricultural advantages, but
Alabama has failed to do as much
"hustling" as Georgia in attracting
the worlds attention; hence Georg-
ia gets the people.
Galveston News: Ex-Governor
James Stephen Hogg, according
to a recent explanatory interview,
is playing missionary to benighted
eastern capitalists. He suggests
various methods OF removing
scales from the eyes of Wall street
money sharks. He has been read
ing the law to them. He no longer
proclaims license to tramp
marauders on railroad trains or
reads the riot act to Standard
Oil magnates. If an effective plan
is wanted to capture capitalists
nothing better could be done than
to tie, metaphorically speaking,
enormous powders about the necks
of a dozen windy Texas politicians
and drown them like a heroic small
boy browns a mess of surplus and
noisy kittens.
Laredo Times: With Cleve-
lands craftsmanship so sadly in
doubt it is the shallowest mockery
to mention his name for another
term. Even Chicago's Altgeld
would make a better campaign
as he would capture the strikers
and anarchists.
