Texas shows her wisdom in in
cressing her corn crop acreage and
decreasing her cotton culture. Her
wisdom would have been more
conspicuously displayed had the
increase been more marked. that
decrease Of nearly sixteen percent
in cotton planting is o. K. but the
increase Of eleven percent in corn
acreage is not sufficient. 1t would
have been all the better for the
state had 1t been at least double
that, for the price is good and the
crop prospects out Of sight

There Is no doubt UnaJ much OF
the spleen that is uttered against
the blanket-sheet newspaper is to
be referred to the fact OF the bile
ducts Of the critics being clogged,
but outside OF this is the general
complaint against such spreading
blankets for news sheets. That
they are in their decadence in the
east is certain, also that the years
bring continually near the demand
for condensed ne vs. matter. The
sheet that can crowd the most real
news into the smallest space is the
one in growing demand. The three
volume novel has not more surely
gone the way OF all the earth than
the forty page blanket sheet is on
the wane. Life is too short for
such perusals, eyesight too pre-
CiOua.

The wonderful genius for I'M

that; Reed, Mckinley and Allison

have strained his diaphragm in
making that announcement. There

there been for months. Harrison
is not a candidate in the common

There is a growing conviction in
the minds Of the people Of this
country that the double standard
of money is the proper caper, that
all bills OF small denominations
should be retired, that no gold
coins Of less than ten dollars
should be minted, thus making
silver the money in all amounts
under ten dollars. With this con-
dition and the proper ratio estat-
lished between silver and god
there would be nothing to COM
plain OF, and the grumblers would
be discounted. That could be
norma.

The New Election Law.

Since the passage of the Werts Ballot
Reform act no more important law regu-
latlng elections has been put through the
Legislature than that just passed
The distribution and preparation of the
ballots was al first placed in the hands OF
the county board Of elections, but now is
regulated 10 the county clerks, as at pre-
sent provided for; in fact, the county
clerks duties are the same as provided for
In the Werts law, except that he is tquir-
ed to act as the clerk TO the county board
of elections when il serves in the capacity
of the county board of canvassers, but he
receives no extra compensation for the
services rendered 10 that Office
The district election boards are compos
ed of four persons the poll clerks being
dispensed with-and their compensation
Is $25 for each member; So a day for
three registry days and $40 on election
day. The county boards of election are
required to sit at their offices on the Sat
urday preceding election day. and also on
election day, to place on the registry list
the names Of any voters whose names
have been inadvertently or purposely left
off such list
The other features OF the bill-provid-
ing for recount in ten days after cleo
ton, the granting OF the right to vote to a
voter whose name has been voted upon
by repeater, the penalty for obstrucling
or interfering with voters at the polls, a
heavy penalty for mutilating registry lists,
and the power TO remove chalcugers who
neglect their duties or abuse the privileges
conferred upon ihem-are not altered
from the original bill.

1t appears from statements made by
the Mayors friends that his reason fol
suspending policeman Morse, who was
acting as constable in the jury trial of 6
case for the violation Of the excise ordi-
nances, was that his permission was moi
first obtained. So it seems that the
Mayors " dignity" must be maintained
even If the law mscarries and law-break-
ers escape punishment
We are not inscnsble of +" the dignity
which doth hedge about ?" our Mayor. He
ought to be provided with a coach and
four and outriders 10 proclaim his com.
ing, but as the city is too poor at present
to afford this, our mayors viii have TO be
content with that dignity that comes from
q just performance of duty and the en-
forcement of laws against wilful wrong
doors. To mayor who not only winks
at but covertly assists law breakers, there
will not only be loss of dignity. but OF
respect by all people whose respect is
worth having.
