Globe Democrat: The last Con.
gress cut down the appropriations
for the Federal courts below the
cost of maintenance, in order to
make false show of economy, and
now hundreds Of minor officials are
serving without pay, witnesses are
compelled to wait for their fees,
and the operations of those import
ant tribunals are generally en-
barrassed. Another instance Of
the way in which Democratic rule
makes trouble.
Globe Democrat: Now that the
income tax has been wiped out,
the Administration officials are in.
t1mating that the Government did
not need it. But the fact remains
that Democratic President
recommended it and a Democratic
Congress imposed it.
Globe Democrat: The great
need OF the country is more Repu-
blican prosperity TO offset Demo-
cratic deficits.
Globe Democrat: Carlisle's
sound money speeches will come
handy next summer for circulation
as Republican campaign docu-
ments.
Globe Democrat: The theory
that malaria is usually due to bad
drinking water instead of bad air Is
supported in pamphlet issued by
the North Carolina State Board OF
Health for general distribution. 1t
contains replies from the coast
counties, in which it is clearly
shown that the use of shallow
wells is connected with nearly all
the cases Of malaria, and that COM
munities supplied with rain water
in cisterns or from artesiau wells
are almost free from this form of
disease. Many authorities in
South Carolina, Georgia and Flori-
da are cited supporting this view
Of the case, and instances are
named in which outbreaks OF ma
larial fever have been ended by
avoiding the use of water from
wells or small streams. A more
general scientific investigation of
this subject would probably prove
important.
Fort Worth Gazette: The peo-
pie who fail to get homes in the
rush for land in the Kickapoo res
ervation can be accommodated in
Texas on better terms than they
would have got il they had been
successful in stalking claims.
Bracket News: We have
promised plenty of rain this year
and have advised the farmers to
put in seed all the land they could
cultivate. Thus far we have kept
our promise and have not raised
the subscription price to the News.
We started In to make this coun-
ty prosperous in the same ratio as
our fellow-citizens contributed to
our prosperity; we have done we'll
by each other and therefore all
around congratulations are in
order.
Bracket News: Lansing, the
parson, out of sight has sunk,
Since, lyingly, he spoke OF Cleve-
lands drunk!
So blindly used he his rhetoric
dagger,
He, not the President, began to
stagger.
There can be no religion in our
churches,
Until such foul birds are plucked
from their perches.
Two Republics: 1t seems that
the statements concerning the
number of Negroes taken to the
Tlahualilo property in Durango
have been greatly exaggerated. A
gentleman connected with the Tia
hualilo company stated a few days
ago that only seven hundred and
sixty-four Negroes had been i'm
ported from the United States by
his company and he expressed the
opinion in a somewhat uncertain
manner that majority of those
Negroes are still on the plantation.
Whether all or only some of those
Negroes have returned to the
States, enough have gone back to
"give very black eye" to Negro
colonization in Mexico. 1t is said
that the Negroes who remained
are doing we'll. But this circum-
stance will count for little or moth
ing now. Tlahualilo has been
given bad name.
Limestone New Era: The young
