AGRICULTURAL reports WITH tags
bearing the name OF ex-Congress-
man w. II. benson OF Alabama.
Business is considered business by
the average bugbook statesman.
Let US raise our eyes like dying
calves and thank heaven that they
have not sold the dome of the capt.
toll for henhouse.
Waco News: Out of fifteen
members of the Democratic party
who have expressed themselves, one
favors Governor Matthews, of In
diana, one G. S. Thomas, Of Denver,
one w. C.'Whitney, two Governor
Boies and. nine are for Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson. Stevenson is the
coming man. He is all right on
the silver question; is not afraid
to talk it and is true enough to
stand by the people ifelected. Hur-
rah for Stevenson.
Uvalde News: There are none
now to do reverence to the income
tax law. Those who have opposed
it from principle are still opposed
to it, and those who were wild.eyed
to catch the mOnopolist and the
coupon clippers are disappointed.
The next congress will probably
kick it of the stage Of action.
Fort Worth Gazette: The pro-
posal to nominate Southern man
for vice president on the next ma
tional Democratic ticket has the
earmarks OF scheme to secure the
Southern vote for another mono
metallist for president. The bait
is not large enough. The South
would repudiate Southern nomi-
nee for president, standing on the
Cleveland platform. 1t will vote
for measures, not men, in 1896.
New Orleans States: The fake
story to the effect that John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln, is alive
and we'll has been revived. 1t is
about time,we think for managing
editors to post a notice in their
respective offices warning their
telegraph editors not to use the
hoary old story under penalty Of
an immediate discharge.
New Orleans States: The cheap
money organs are heading a dis
| patch announcing that the Secreta.
ry of the Treasury will address the
sound money convention to be
held in Memphis. Secretary Car
Isle will address the Gold Bugs at
Memphis on Sound Money" In
the same high strain of courtesy
we reply that when the free and
unlimited silver apes hold a con-
vention no doubt Dickey Bland
will address them on the advant-
age of rotten money.
Fort Worth Mail Tel: With
Moody and Sankey and the COM
mercial travellers in our midst
Fort Worth takes high position
in the religious world. With the
evangelists and the "angels" with
us we are safe.
Waco News: Like the bird freed
from it's cage the dust scars aloft.
Our city dads" snuff it, our city
dudes breathe it,our city bellies get
it in their eyes, and cover their
elegant toilets, our city children
are stifled with it, and still we all
wait for Jupiter Pluvius to settle
it.
The Temple Tribune: The re-
former is not always the fellow
who holoos the loudest and who
is always shouting "there goes the
wicked rascal" Get right close to
this fellow and see if he mistreats
his wife and babies; see if he is a
good, kind husband and respector
OF the rights Of others. This is a
better standard than his much
talking.
Texas Stockman: The new irri-
cation law recently passed by the
present legislature, is already bear
ing good fruit. Conformatory to
the provisions of this law the city
of Brownwood has just organized
C new irrigation company to pla ce
reservoir on the Pecos river. This
plant will irrigate about 10000
acres OF land.
American Economist: The far
mer probably feels most sensibly
and keenly any impairment Of
domestic industries. The fields
are dependent upon the factories.
They work together and usually
benefit each other. The foreign
. market buys now from six to eight
per cent OF our farm products,
while the slurred and despised
home market consumes from 80 to
"a per cent. The more this home
market is protected in its varied
sources Of vitality, the better it is
for the farmer. He has no chance
in Europe except in times of war
or famine.
Waco News: We note from a
paragraph in the San Antonio
LIGHT that it has "Brains" on its
table. We have known for som @
time it had "brains" az its editorial
