Globe Democrat: The wab-
bling wing OF the Democracy think
they are realigning the party
when they drop its best principles
and emphasize its worst. The
moro they realign on this plan the
higher the Republican majorities
climb.
Lower Rio Grande: Every once
and while we are assured that the
money in the United States is the
equal Of $50 per head Of the human
family, but the assurance never
goes out that all OF this money is
in the hands of few gold bugs and
that the human family has barely
dollar. Nor is the assurance ever
given that this condition will con-
tinue so long as the gold standard
lasts, but it will nevertheless. The
bankers can corner the gold of the
world, but when the peoples
money gets in circulation there will
be a change in all financial trans
actions. Then there will be silver
money and instead of boarding it
as gold is, it will be seeking invest
ments in railroads and all kinds OF
public improvements. Then and
not before will there be railroads
leading to Brownsville from all
directions.
Fort Worth Mail-Telegrsm: Ex-
Governor Hogg figured In a trans
action lately that may prove
Of much usefulness both in a bust.
ness and political direction. In
trying to place some Texas rail.
road bonds in New York a financier
engaged in an object lesson in this
wise: "Here Is gold dollar. You
want me to lend 1t in Texas and at
the same time are trying to turn
over this government to those who
promise to pay back not this gold
dollar, but this" and here the bro
ker held up fifty-cent piece. Ex-
Governor Hogg had a rare OPP
portunity to compare the Populist
view of free silver with the real
money basis calculations of the
centres of control. AS a lesson it
should strike home very deep.
Globe Democrat: When Presi-
dent Cleveland speaks of the
Democratic party as "the party of
the people," he manifests an easy
forgetfulness of the latest election
returns.
Globe Democrat: The lynching
Of rapists is practice of Southern
origin which the people of the
North find it necessary to adopt in
cases where Governor stands
ready to pardon all sorts Of GRIMM
ais.
Globe Democrat: An esteemed
evening contemporary opens long
editorial yesterday with the re-
mark that, "Like Davy Crockett's
device to bring down the coon,"
etc. What device did Davy Crock
EFT bring to bear upon any econ
that history knows Of? None what
ever. Itwas Capt. Scott in obedi-
ence to whose presence the historic
coon came down. OF Davy Crock
EFT it is known that he said, "Be
sure you're right, then 60 ahead"
but he didn't say this to a coon.
Globe Democrat: Franz Won
Suppe, the composer who died at
Vienna the other day at the age Of
70 years, was best known by the
Poet and Peasant overture, which
has probably figured in more
piano-thumping than any other
one piece Of modern music. He
was also the author OF the light
operas, Boccaccio and Fatinitza,
and he contributed much to the en-
joyment OF those who are candid
enough to say that they prefer SIM
pie melodies to grand opera.
Globe Democrat: Altgeld's
pardoning propensities received a
terrible rebuke early on Saturday
morning in the lynching Of two
ravishers at Danville, Ill. Such
acts of violence always come in the
shape Of public protest against
the laws delay or the laws nom
execution. Altgeld's pardon Of the
anarchists is still bearing fruit,
and the double lynching at Dan
vile is only small part Of the
crop.
Houston Post: A story was
printed some years ago about
woman who was standing just out
Of the gate OF heaven, when she
saw her husband about to enter.
She at once set up protest and re-
monstrance with st. Peter at his
readiness to admit him and told
how in spite of all her own good
ness her husband had failed in this
way and that way and the other
way to be what he should have
been and had at times, in the very
midst of her gently adhesive and
persuasive way "cussed and swore"
and so, she went on TO the conclu-
sion-in the midst OF Mysteries
that those within the gates ought
not to be contaminated by his
presence. st. Peter listened and
