AMONG OUR EXCHANGES

Tyler Republic: The 100000
600 "yen," the indemnity demand
ed Of China by Japan, is worth S215.
100000 OF our money. A rather
hefty sum for as poor a fight as
China made.
Galveston News: The man who
believes in sound money must
either quit his platform and his
party and join the rebellious l6 to
l-ers or he must make up his
mind to fight populists.
Denison Herald: Denison's
water supply has reached stage
where all uneasiness for the future
may be set aside as an unpleasant
dream. There is a seven foot
depth in the reservoir and more
in sight.
Galveston News: Chairman
Dudley wants the executive COM
mittee to meet and set the soft
soap factory going. The demand
for this product is falling off every
day. The democrats of Texas are
sick and tired Of soft soap and
whitewash.
Galveston News: II the slick
fellows who hang around the towns
and cities, whittle down telephon e
poles, watch women and wear out
rawhide chairs were properly
utilized Texas would have a com.
plete system of public roads equal
to the Appian way itself.
Houston Press: The only safe
guard for the railroad companies
which have monopolized the carry
ing of passengers from and to the
suburbs Of the metropolitan cities
OF these United States is to go work
and build equip electric lines so
that the opposition will not reduce
their income to an Improbable de-
gree.
BRENNAN Banner: The Prince
OF Wales may come to this coun-
try this year to see the yacht race
for the America Cup. If our
society" people are to make them
selves fools over him after the
usual fashion when a titled foreign
er comes over, it would be much
better for the national honor for
him to stay away.
Houston Post: Dispatches from
Long Island says that ex-Gover.
nor Hogg has rented cottage at
Fire Island for the summer and
anticipates a grand, good time this
season. The ex-governor is being
"tOted" around in great shape up
East and is doing good work for
Texas while gaining in personal
popularity himself.
Waco News: The papers north,
east, south and west are filled with
articles discussing "sound money!
or silver and honest bi-metallism.
The presidents proposed campaign
of education is now fully inaugu-
rated. Its discussion was just what
the friends of silver wanted and
they feel grateful to Mr.. Cleveland
for forcing the issue now.
Del Rio Farm and Stock Record :
The Legislature has reduced the
per diem OF sheriffs from $3.50 to
81 per day for conveying attached
witnesses. Sheriff Jones of Val
Verde says he expects soon to have
to pay the state for the privilege
OF being sheriff. It's q mighty
small potato that hasn't a kick
coming at this Legislature.
Globe Democrat: Canada is re-
ioicing over the fact that her eX-
ports to the United States will be
from $60,000000 to SIC, 100000 great
or this year than they were in any
year under the Mckinley tariff.
This is interesting Information for
the American farmers, whose home
market is thus invaded by reason
OF Democratic legislation in favor
OF foreigners.
Sherman Register: Doubtless
there are some good and patriotic
men in the Texas legislature, but
this long session has clearly de-
veloped the sad fact of their hope
less minority. But little attention
has been paid to the platform de-
mands of the majority. But little
respect has been given the Texas
people irrespective Of party lines.
Ennis Review: The South has
reached that point Of development
and business acumen when bonus
hunters are not needed. These ma
ural advantages are sufficient
inducement for the location Of
factories, and the wise and honest
investor only wants elbow room,
moral support, share of business
and friendly legislation. The pro-
fits will come by judiciousNnanage-
ment.
Colorado Citizen: All IAws and
parts of laws to tax the rich to pay
