TEXAS CRITIC or TEXSA

TEXAS CRITIC OF TEXSA
Farmersvlle Times: Texas is increasing
in population, Notwithstanding the evil
effects of tho Dial and Gals ISLANDERS upon
the fair name of the State. The vote Of
the State has increased over hundred
thousand since the 1894 election. This rep
resents an increase In population Of 500 40
in Two years.
Cumby Rustler: Tho Dallas News and
its correspondents should take course Of
calomel and get the bile worked off. They
are sore and lose no opportunity to SIAN
der and ridicule everybody and every
thing connected with the opposition. Sun
day, Mr.. w. C. Moore, In Aftermath" col
umn. INDUCES In ridioule Of country ed
tors that is not only false and insulting
to any decent man. but reflection ON the
good sense OF the paper containing 1t.
Among other things he says: when
country editor is properly hit with the sack
he can be knocked end over end distance
Of forty feet without injury. As
a raker of other peoples crestnuts out of
the political fire the country editor is
screaming success. How he ladies
out hogwash for the man with the sack,
etc.
The country editors Of this State, as
sisted by The Post, have again buried
the News with its fusion scheme under the
old time majority and of course the load
is pressing heavily 1t may vent Its spleen
upon the country editors and the Southern
people generally. but as moulder OF pub
lie opinion It is likely to continue a row
of 100000.
Clarksville Times: II the South isn't
good enough for the Dallas News. the Dali
las News should leave the South. Fraud,
crime and outrage are not confined to the
Southern section of our Union. There is
too much Of 1t here. God knows, but the
News course in persistently calling at
tention to conditions in the South which
are equally prevalent in the North, East
and West is unworthy of really great
journal While we Texans are possibly too
prone to assume an independence we nave
not and to take to ourselves somewhat
exaggerated air of importance and broad
ness. still we are really sufficiently indie
pendent and broad to be displeased win

But the News has chosen its course and
