resented at Memphis in the sound
money meeting of southern dele
gates. Very few southern men are
silver mine owners.
Laredo News: The people Of the
lower Rio Grande valley will be
glad to have q railroad along the
river, no matter on which side it
may be built.
Pleasanton Monitor: II San An
tonic will do as much for herself
now, as nature has done for her, she
will reach the 100000 mark before
the year 1900.
Paris Advocate: The only re-
greet the Advocate has that Mr..
Cleveland wrote that gold stand
ard letter is that it will probably
bring forth an interview from the
Honorable George Clark on the
subject. And we are not pining to
hear George just now.
Houston Age: Senator Jones Of
Nevada says the silver question is
greater than all the other ques-
tions; and so it is no doubt in that
state, for in Nevada silver is about
the only article of value the people
produce. But Nevada is a very
small state, small territorially and
small in population.
Greenville Herald: 1t is a safe
bet, says the Houston Post, that
Governor Hogg would himself have
vetoed an item in an appropriation
bill for the purchase Of portrait
in this time of enforced economy
in state finances. Pictures can
wait. Governor Ross, than whom
no man Is more popular in Texas,
paid for his own portrait.
Galveston Tribune: After more
than 100 years it would seem that
we ought to know what the federal
constitution means, but we don't.
We keep on passing laws that vio-
late the spirit Of that instrument,
and we have to pay for both max
ing the laws and annulling them.
Our lawmakers are lot of smart
Alexis.
Houston Age: A disturbance Of
the tea supply by the war in the
Orient it is thought may develop
a capacity in South Carolina for
the production Of the tea leaf. II
that be so, let us get up war be-
tween Cuba and Brazil and see if
it will develop a coffee yielding
capacity in Texas. The coffee
berry does excellently well on the
other side Of the Rio Grande. Why
not on this side?
San Angelo Enterprise: Arkan.
sas grand juries are indicting So
ciety ladies for giving prizes at
fashionable euchre parties. Evil
IDENTIFY gambling has been so thor
oughly stamped out Of that state
that good morals are shocked by
even the semblance Of it in the
shape Of harmless game OF cards
which often gives the winners a
ridiculous "booby" prize which is
of little or no value and is only
eagerly sought by the fun loving
participants as means of further
enjoyment. While these "outrages"
on the majesty of the law are being
indicated, poor Arkansas goes on
with record breaker for murders.
Galveston Tribune: Southern
Mississippi shipped its first crate
Of strawberries yesterday and is
Dragging about it. The Texas coast
country has been in the market
two weeks. That's the difference
between this section and other
southern fruit sections.
Arkansas Pass Beacon: In due
time we shall have deep water at
Arkansas Pass. Possess We your
souls in patience, until the Beacon
in the near future, shall announce
the fact, that work is progressing
on the bar. The enterprise is pro
ceeding satisfactorily and its sue
cess, we believe, is now beyond a
reasonable doubt.
FL Paso Herald: We believe
that both metals are commodities
and any ratio established between
them except by international agree
ment will as surely result in mono
metalism as if one or the othel
was declared illegal for money pur
poses at any price. The extreme
silver people are advocating meas
ures which would as surely drive
gold out of circulation as green
backs drove both gold and silver
out OF circulation during the war
There can be no such thing as BIZ
metalism except by international
agreement.
Lower Rio Grande: This legis
lature will hardly get down to the
level of four cent cotton and wool
but the next one will. The idea
seems to be to keep salaries up t.
the old standard for present in
cumbents, without any regard or
consideration for the thousand!
with equal capacity who would
like to take the same places fol
pne-half of present salaries. Uni
Versal harmony, though, "is COM
