AMONG OUR EXCHANGES

Houston P0St: some one de-
cided to erect three.story build
ing in Galveston and the whole
town seems to be excited over the
notable event. The local press is
playing the item for all it is worth
as an advertisement.
Fort Worth Gazette: The
Democratic voters, as distinct from
the Democratic offics-holders,
would thousand times rather en-
dure defeat next year than to elect
another Cleveland.
Houston Post: Desha Breckin-
ridge has decided that money won
on cards or horses is part Of a
mans income and must be render
ed for taxing purpose. Desha is a
collector now and knows which
side of the collectors bread is but
tered in Kentucky.
Two Republics: The city ordin-
ance ordering the enclosing OF all
vacant lots is not being complied
with as generally as might have
been hoped. A local paper desig-
mates an unenclosed lot which is
not only made a dumping ground
for the neighborhood, but it is claim
ed that it is resort for evil doors.
Such wisely conceived ordinance
as that in question assuredly do
serves to be strictly enforced.
Lower Rio Grande: Why don't

duce irrigating machinery, such as
is competent to irrigate few acres
of land only? Such machinery
would sell to farmers along the
river at fair profit, and it would
enable sufficient to be raised to
more than support the country in
the dryest Of seasons. 1t may be
years yet before systems Of irriga-
tion will be established.
Bonham News: The governor
of Arkansas, commanding the
members OF the Indiana legisla.
ture, would make a crack company
for the Cuban patriots now enter
tanning Spain. The United States
could spare them, too, for awhile.
Arkansas Pass Herald: Harbor
Island is undoubtedly the most
valuable piece Of unimproved real
estate in the United States. 1t, is
an infinitesimal patch on the zap
of Texas, comprising only 1000
acres of tide flats, but it will soon
be cobwebbed with railroad track
age, and fronted with docks,
wharves, warehouses, ele vators,
and other equipment for handling
a great commerce, and will be one
Of the busiest points on earth.
Philadelphia Stakeholder: A
prominent Eastern passenger
agent says that one of the most
remarkable things in the passeng.
er situation is the heavy travel

ing. He thought that for the next
five years the exodus to the South
would equal that OF the most noted
periods of immigration to the
West and Northwest. He said this
was largely attributable to the fact
that the Southern roads are now
following the tactics Of the Western
and Northwestern lines to secure
the settlement Of people on their
respective lines, many of the roads
having secured the services of men
who were successful in building up
this class of business on the North
western roads.
Houston Age: Whenever a re.
preventative and governor Of
Arkansas again have a question to
settle, the Age proposes that they
shall be stripped of all deadly
weapons and put in ring and re-
Quired to spit it out under Queens
berry rules.
Arkansas Pass Herald: South.
west Texas is almost the only part
OF the United States that has not
been doomed. 1t offers greater adj
vantages TO homeseekers than most
OF the sections that have been
doomed, and those who come early
get in on the ground floor.
Baird Star: West Texas was
treated to the worst storm last Fri
day that has visited this section for
twenty years. AS a result a great
deal of the soil OF the state shcool
land located on the plains may be
found two or three hundred miles
east of it's usual location. There is
nothing equal to sand storm in
starting a rise in real estate.
BRENNAN Banner: 1t is what
people waste and not what they
consume that amasses fortunes for
the producer. For example the
manufacturers Of prepared must
ards makes their profits on what
people leave on the edge of the
plate.
Galveston News: The uncon-
