carer to New York had been avail
able, Texas nor Dallas would ever
have been thought OF.
Houston Press: 1t devolved
upon the supreme court of Illionis
to kill the whisky trust, but it
killed IL deader than a door nail
1t is now hoped that all the trusts
will learn a lesson before civil
death overtakes them.
Pearsall News: Our governor
is holding his peace regarding the
matter OF prize fighting in Texas.
He possibly realizes that in some
instances "silence is golden" And
that our State Is provided with
laws that cover the case.
Waco Tribune: 1t is a fact
worth careful weighing by those
who have the fate OF the Cotton
Palace in their hands that this
same Cotton Palace, the hope Of
seeing it rebuilt, Influenced the
votes of thousand or more men
against local option. 1t was really
one Of the most powerful factors in
the result.
Waco News: The contention on
this subject Of silver has now re-.
solved itself into war between
that faction in the United States
which advocates the free coinage Of
silver by our government at ratio
OF l6 to l and that which proposes
to rest satisfied with the present
status OF affairs until an interna.
tional agreement can be entered in
to by the leading nations Of the
world for the purpose Of establish
ing world-embracing parity be-
tween the two metals.
Galveston Tribune: From tax.
ing all of mans income above a
certain amount to taking all uf his
property above a certain amount is
only step and a very short step
at that. Yet this is the frank prin-
ciple OF graduated income tax,
which is proclaimed and applaud
ed at the free silver convention.
A great many conservative men
have no objection to a uniform in
come tax, even with an exemption
below certain limit, upon the
same idea that household property
below a certain limit is exempted
from taxation, but when it is pro-
posed to limit what a man shall
earn aud what he shall own, the
proposition becomes dangerous, for
1t is nothing less than downright
confscation.
Houston Post: That is the
secret of poor government-selfish.
ness! Public officials and citizens
who have elegant yards see no
necessity for parks; those who
have clean streets around their
homes and the premises OF rich and
cleanly people near them see no
necessity for any additional sani-
tation; those with cisterns do not
care fig how deadly the city water
may be; the saloon or dance hall
is all right so long as 1t is next to
somebody else; the street car SER
vice may go to the dogs so far as
the fellow is concerned who has got
buggy and horse, and public
schools are OF no interest to the
man who educates his children by
private instruction or abroad.
Greenville Herald: George
Gould has filed an objection to thu
personal property Of his father,
estate at $10,000,0G0 on the ground
that the Vanderbilts are assessed
at only $4,000 each, and Sage
Huntington and Carnegie at le-'
than 100000 each. This may not
be a good objection in law but il
certainly justifies kick.
New Orleans States: The ire
