ions of a law looking to their pro
lection against the importation OF
the product Of the foreign convict
system be rigidly enforced. The
Age-Herald hopes to see the day
when convict labor will not be
brought into competition with the
honest free toiler of our land.
Houston Age: AS neither San
Antonio or Fort Worth seems dis
posed to celebrate the fiftieth an
niversary Of the entry of Texas in
to the Union with a semi-centen-
NAL fair, that duty may devolve
upon Houston, and 1t is hardly
necessary to say that at all times
and under all circumstances Hous-
ton will do her duty.
Waco News: II the rebellion in
Cuba is crushed as Spanish authori.
ties say, then why is it,Gen. Campos
has cabled to Spain for 10000 addi-
tional troops and asked the home
governmnt to get $4,000 more in
readiness to sail. A real live,
plucky energetic war correspond
ent couldmake his "jack" by in
vading the little island and telling
the world the plain truth about the
war.
Beeville Picayune: One thing is
certain: Grover Cleveland's name
will go down in history as that OF
the greatest man of the nineteenth
century, or the most consummate
scoundrel that ever held political
power, or else future generations
will know him as the idiot presi-
dent.
Sabinal Sentinel: The disinte-
grafton Of the Democratic party is
coming about faster than the most
populistic Pop ever dreamed in his
widest flights OF fancy.
Yoakum Graphic: Yesterday
the dispatches told us that the Gu
ban war was about over, the rebels
having been entirely vanquished,
but today it is exactly the reverse.
The insurgents have won several
victories, and everything looks fav-
orable to their final success. 1t is
very evident that newspaper re-
porters are getting in their work.
Fort Worth Gazette: The dis
pute between Russia and Japan d.
reefs attention to the startling fact
that Monaghan race is at the van
guard progress in Asia. II it were
possible for the armies Of Japan to
penetrate to st. Petersburg, the
benefit to civilization would be
quite as great as from their trium-
plant march 70 Pellin.
Houston Post: People who,
when a chicken coop was dragged
and hauled up to Dallas, went wild
over the grand opening Of the Trim
ity river to navigation to all parts
of the world, can not be expected to
know much about sure enough
navigation. That great Trinity
navigator, Attorney Freeman, Of
the Texas Pacific, should come to
the Reunion and while here take a
Oiip uo"h ilouStOh SltdU "dOti
way to the sea and revise his igno-
rance and rectify his malice.
Galveston Tribune: When an
orator talks to you about the de-
monetization Of silver pull out one
of the big cartwheels you have in
your pocket, which is good for it's
face over the countries of the world,
and tell him the kind OF bimetal-
lism you want is system that will
keep that dollar on a parity with
gold. Then ask him il he is prepar.
ed to guarantee that his method
will do the business.
Boston Journal: British foreign
trade increasing? or course it is.
And American foreign trade
shrinking? OF course, also. What
was the Wilson Tariff
for, anyway? In connection it may
be remarked that under the
"odious" Mckinley act the relative
drift Of things in the two countries
was exactly opposite.
