few individuals will accomplish
nothing, but intelligent work by
an organized body OF men, similar
to the one in Georgia,wil do much.
Houston Age: At a meeting OF
the Southern Wholesale Grocers'
association in Atlanta last week
one OF the g~rocers' said that Cleve-
lands salary ought to be 100000
a year, and the remark was ap-
plauded, but the Age does not join
in the applause. Twenty-Five
thousand a year was all that
Thomas Jefferson received, and he
made a very good president.
Yoakum Graphic: Now our IA
nous supreme court is to take up
the constitutionality OF the state
laws requiring railroads to furnish
separate coaches for negroes.
Whether or not that court could do
anything to surprise anybody is a
question OF grave doubt.
Globe Democrat. The refusal Of
Missouri's Democratic State COM
mittee to call a silver convention
is the worst defeat the free coiners
have met this year. They will get
accustomed to defeat by the end
Of 1896 and won't mind them.
Ell Paso Herald: In 1888 Carlisle
criticised Hon. John Sherman very
severely. Today he sees that John
Sherman was right and he should
come out and tell the people what
made him change his mind. No
man who is intimately acquainted
with the great Ohio financier can
believe him to be wrong at heart
and few car help agreeing with
him.
Laredo News: A sufficient an.
swer to the chronic howl of hard
times and oppressed people, is to
be found in the immense throngs
of visitors who assemble from
far and near at the hundreds OF
entertainments and shows pulled
of during the spring and summer
months by the cities Of the union
in general, and Texas in particular,
Globe Demodrat: One Of the
laws passed at the recent session
Of the Massachusetts, Leg stature
requires that manual trailing be
incorporated in the high school
system Of the twenty cities in the
state with a population exceeding
10000 each. These cities contain
100000 people, so that the new
law provides manual training for
half the population Of the state.
Galveston News: Congressman
Grain makes himself very clear in
his responses to three questions
propounded to him by the New
York World. The World asks
"Do you favor the single gold STAN
dard or free coinage? Do you
favor further tariff change? Do you
favor the principle, of the income
taxi" To which Mr.. Grain re.
sponded as follows: ~ favor bime-
tallism at ratio which may main-
tain approximate equality in
value. Don't think 16 to l will do
that. Against tariff changes I'M
less necessary for revenue de-
mands. l have no objections to
an income tax that applies to all
alike, without exemption or dis
elimination. Every man ought to
pay for protection to his property
in proportion to the amount pro-
tected."
New Braunfels Herald: Cattle,
horses, cotton, wheat, corn, Oil, iron
ore, wages-in many sections-and
silver have all materially advanced
within the past six weeks. Re-
covering from a panic is always
slow, as compared with the
original precipitation Of the affair,
but we have seen the sound reason
for believing that we have seen
the worst of the panic Of 1898.
Galveston Tribune: Memphis
is to have another money conven-
ton. The next one is to be on
June 13, when there will be a gath
ering of the 16-to-I-ers to counter
act the influence Of the late sound
money conference. Meanwhile the
doctrine Of stable finances and hon.
est currency Is speeding its way.
Brennan Banner: Japan has
placed an agent at New Orleans
to look after her commercial inter-
ests in the purchase Of cotton.
This indicates the activity Of her
cotton manufactures, and it is a
futher hint that Great Britain
must step around lively to prevent
being distanced in this field Of in
dustrial operation. Bound hand
and foot by the gold standard, she
is no match for Japan in open in
dustrial combat.
TAKE THE BEST.
