to Mexico; all their interests are
identical; they have a common
destiny and speak the language Of
Cervantes, and with such a union
they would be respected and re-
spectacle. Johnny Bnll would then
not dare to lay violent hands on
any Of their ports.
Temple Tribune: Imitation is
said the sincerest flattery and IL
there is anything the Negro race is
given to 1t is this quality. FASH
ion, customs, manners, religion and
societies all come in for a share Of
the initiated. Lodges have been
having controversies innumerable
in regard to the institution Of
orders among the Negroes and now
they are forming circles Of Kings
Daughters and literary clubs. As
yet we have heard of no Negro wo-
men suffragists and but one pro-
fessional tramp.
Brennan Banner: Gov. Ma
thews, Of Indiana, says he would
accept the Democratic nomina-
ton for the Presidency if it were
offered to him. He probably
weighed the Importance of that"if"
very carefully before committing
himself.
Two Republics: 1t is remark
able fact that the policemen OF this
city are invariably much more sue.
cessfnl in capturing men who have
been robbed or murdered than in
the capture Of the robbers or the
murderers. This is not exactly the
kind OF policemen that are desired.
Robbed men and dead men do not
need capturing. Now that the po-
lice force is being reorganized, it is
recommended that men be employ
ed who will pay their respects to
robbers and murderers, instead Of
their victims.
Tyler Dem. Rep: Money that
will pay debts and buy what you
want is good money, according
to the best of our knowledge and
belief.
Galveston News: Notwithstand-
ing a substantial increase OF school
taxes by the legislature, Superin-
tendent Carlisle insists that ain de-
termining the increase of local tax
necessary you should be certain
not to calculate upon too large an
apportionment from the state"
He adds futher that at would not
be safe for you to assume that the
law levying school tax of 90 cents
for this year and Is cents for the
subsequent years will increase
your apportionmentfo for next year."
The meaning Of this is that in
crease made by the legislature is
not to stand in the way OF an addi-
tional increase by local taxation.
Houston Post: 1t is a source for
regret that the monarchical govern
ments, that is the reputable con-
stitutional governments OF West
ern Europe, daily give evidencesof
greater efficiency aud honesty in
public officials than we find in the
United States. 1t is not that there
is more honesty and efficiency in
Europe than in America, but more
bad men get into power over here.
II the decent classes and the best
men would determine to control
the public service in America, mat
tiers would be different. We could
get the worth of our money and de.
ficits would not stare US in the face
on every balance sheet.
Galveston Tribune: The Sound
money democrats at Waco were not
very numerous, but they were pow
erfully in earnest and they don't
propose to be showed out Of the
party either. The fight is on.
There is one consolation: 1t can't
be- any hotter than the cam
paign OF 1892.
Laredo News: Why send off
thousands Of dollars every month
from Laredo to secure articles
which with little enterprise, home

San Angelo Enterprise: The
people OF the Empire state are de-
cidedly inclined to make Texas de-
serve its title. Judges and colonies
are we'll enough, but somehow they
don't seem to sufficiently convey
an idea of nobility as nobility goes
among crowned heads, and to get
around that difficulty we now have
the "King's Daughters and the
"Princes of the Orient" Next in
order we should have the kings
and the queens, and thus a COM
plete royal family in a republican
Farm and Stock Record: The
interest which the south is taking
in matters relative to the fine arts
is made manifest by the erection
of the beautiful art palace at the
Cotton States and international
