the people are becoming stronger
and more independent in their pc.
litical opinions is enough to run
an old-time campaign overseer
wild.
Waco News: 1t Is practically
decided to transfer the splendid
exhibit made at the California
Mid-winter Fair year ago, and
which cost 100000 to Atlanta. II
this is done, and the south does
not equal or excel this wonderful
display, the result will be favor.
able to that state at the expense OF
the south.
Paris Advocate: President
Cleveland cannot deceive the coun-
try into the belief that the tariff
will be the coming national issue
by stating that he believes Mr.. Nc
Kinley will be the Republican
nominee for president in 1896.
Finances overshadow it. r-,,
st. Louis Republic: There is
no longer any doubt of the con-
struction of a break-water and
other harbor improvements at
Arkansas Pass, Texas. The contract
calls for twenty feet of water over
the bar by 22d of next January
and thirty feet when the work is
completed. This will give st.
Louis and the southwest q new out
let for their export trade to Mexico
and Central America.
Gonzales Inquirer: The Cuban
patriots are haviag a rough time of
it. 1t is now reported that the
Spanish are preparing to send
out convoy of provisions poison
ed, and cartridges loaded with bull
lets but no powder. AS the Cubans
have been in the habit of capturing
their supply trains, they hope to
get even with them in that way.
That is civilized warfare with a
vengeance.
Yoakum Graphic: The News
and Post published a long list of
independence celebrations through
out the state. We will venture a
large sum of money that there
were not one half the number of
people present which the tele-
grams represented, except perhaps
at Yoakum. If there had been,
there would have been none left
at home to rock the baby.
Breham Banner: Schools in
other states have commenced ad-
vertising in Texas. Citizens of this
state should take much pride in
schools and they should send their
children to home schools. Today
Texas has as good schools as any
state in the Union. Any boy or
girl can learn all they need in the
line Of education without their
parents paying out enormous sums
to schools else where.
Blanco News: The darkies
down in the colony are developing
quite a talent for debate. At their
celebration on emancipation day
part of the program was q pub
lie discussion. The question de-
bated was (Which is the most
beneficial to US, the lawyer or the
buzzard?" The umpire decided in
favor OF the buzzard. We are told
the question was thoroughly dis
cussed; all Of the strong points on
each side were brought out.
Abilene Reporter: Texas is be-
ginning to hang murderers and
the sooner the law is generally car
ried out the better it will be for the
state. The idea that a man with
money can get out of a murder
case has not gotten into the minds
OF the people without cause or rea
son. There are number OF
men in Texas who have been tried
and acquitted, on whose hands
rests the blood of their fellow man,
who should have stretched hemp
or been confined to the states
prison for life.
Fort Worth Gazette: "What is
the matter with Fort WORTH"
is question that has been put to
us.
"There was time," says an in
quirer, "when every proposal look
ing to the advancement OF the
city's interests was promptly con-
sidered and executed. Now moth.
ing seems to get attention except
strictly private business. Other
Texas towns are moving. Fort
Worth has apparently lost its old
time force, unity and ambition.
What is the matterw We refer
the question to any body who can
answer 1t.
Two Republics: Periodically
the municipal council grants some
especial privilege to an advertising
scheme; at last Tuesdays meeting
of the council such privilege was
granted. II the council, or any
| member of 1T. will inform the
