Harrison has gone to New York,
where he will spend two weeks at
the Fifth avenue hotel. This is
enough to turn Governor McKin-
ley and ex-Speaker Reed green
under thei gills.
Fort Worth Gazette: A cipher
letter from Cuba relating the story
of the late victory Of the revolu-
tionists over the Spanlards says
that the Texas Rangers were the
first to break the Spanish ranks.
The ranger can always be counted
on to shoot true for civilization
and progress.
Seguen Anchor: While the An
Choir believes that every man in
public office should have a general
knowledge OF law, it does not be-
lieve that Governor Culberson act
ed wisely in appointing all lawyers
on the railroad commission.
Galveston Tribune: Illinois
free silver democrats propose to
read out of the party all who will
not subscribe to their dogma. 1t
follows that IL the sound money
men are in the majority the iatists
must consent to walk the plank.
The split is getting wider all the
time.
Yoakum Graphic: Corn Is sell
ling in Yoakum at 20 cents a bushel
and not, a bushel of that sold is
raised in Dewitt or Lavaca coun-
ty. This mean that a good corn
crop next fall will be worth much
to the farmers Of these counties
Beeville Picayune: Reports
from various portions OF southwest
Texas are conclusive that the
severe freezes in January and Feb
ruary did not destroy the sharp
shooter, and that its ravages upon
the cotton are already apparent,
Several years ago portions OF Next
co were so badly infested with this
pest that the culture Of cotton had
to be abandoned. There seems to
be no remedy for this ~plague,and as
they entirely destroy the crop wher'
ever found, would it not be wise in
the farmers to pillow up the cotton
and plant sorghum, beans or peas
instead, and not cultivate the land
for nothing.
Houston Post: These expedi.
lions, without the restraint OF the
strong arm of a provisional gov.
eminent in Cuba, are apt to degen.
crate into mere baEditti, and the
United States, under the neutrali'
ty laws, are responsible In dam
ages for the conduct and plumber
in which these predatory American
bands indulge. To take service
under the enemies OF a nation with
which we are at peace removes the
protection OF citizenship or the flag
from such adventures. The inter
ference Of strangers Is especially
distasteful to any government and
short and certain will be the
bloody end Of Americans in Cuban
ranks who fall into the hands OF
the Spaniards.
Paris Advocate: Every line OF
business necessary to peoples eX-
istence is represented in Paris, and
by men who live here, pay taxes
here, and as g rule sell cheaper
than the travelling fakir, quality
of goods considered. This craze OF
Spending of" after something is
what keeps the people of America
poor, both as individuals and as a
nation.
Beeville Bee: The reported ap-
pearance Of boil weevil IN the cot
ton fields of Nueces county, is SER
ious information to the cotton
farmers throughout the south. II,
as appears to be the case, this pest
has not been destroyed by the
snow of last winter it is only a
question of time, and a very short
time at that, before it will be i'm
practicable to raise cotton not only
in this section of the state, but in a
considerable portion Of the south.
Waco News: No town ever de-
veloped into a city save by the
united efforts Of its citizens to that
end, while, per contra, it may
with equal truth, be said that no
town ever failed to achieve great
ness conditions permitting, where
such effort was intelligently put
forth and continued.
Eagle Pass Guide: One Of the
pleasing features in the present
political situation is the develop
ment OF the civil service reform
idea in the large cities. In New
York the elimination of party
politics from the city administra-
tion Is doing much to popularize
the ideal of good service as the
chief qualification of a public SER
want. In Chicago a similar de-
velopment of healthy public
opinion is manifest.
Manufacturers Record: Nearly
100000 is now in sight for the
Baltimore Southern Exposition
of 1897. The city council has voted
