EDITORIAL OPINIONS.

| 10 EDITORIAL OPINIONS.
BRENNAN Banner: Hon. Joe Bailey
will make a few red hot Democratic
speeches in Indiana, and render what
assistance he can in an attempt to
defeat w. S. Holman for reelection
to Congress.
| Sherman Register: The music of the
saw and hammer in Sherman contrasts
livery pleasantly with the music of the
celebration band upon which some 9TH
er towns we could mention are relying
upon to attract attention.
Ell Paso Herald: Insurance against
loss by i'll health has been introduced
by an eastern company. The insur-
ance will not cover death, but will car
ry a weekly indemnity of $25 on each
policy of $1,000 principal sum and for
a period not exceeding twenty-six con-
secutive weeks.
New Orleans States: 1t will perhaps
take a year to test the machinery of
the new bill properly. If it runs smooth
and grinds out prosperity, well and
good. If it does not do this political
bills are experiments. The people
must wait with patience the test of
this.
Galveston News: Perhaps it is just
as well for England to be kept fully
advised of the Monroe doctrine, and
every opportunity for such discipline,
including the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton, to awfully important to that
country all of a sudden, only preserves
the United States in healthy fighting
trim, automatically speaking.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The new
senator from Tennessee, according to
a Memphis paper, is 80 high above all
manner of opportunism that he could
not stoop low enough to reach the
loftiest peaks of scheming." The
airship that passed over Kentucky the
other day must have stopped at Mem
phis to take an editor on board.
Houston Post: Turkey, Japan, Spain;
or ANY other country" finds a ready
and sympathetic listener in Emperor
William-particuar if there is COM
plant against the United States. We
have been making such a draft upon
the population of Germany during the
past twenty years that the emperor
does not look upon US with the kind
| lest eye.
Seguin Anchor: Charge of Six Hun
dred." An enthusiastic admirer of the
laureate at all times did not hesitate
to set this at the head of every head
of all verse of it's kind. This fervent
praise brought some amused assent
from others, one of them remarlIing
that the rhythm reminded him of roll
| ling pumpkins over a barn floor and
laughing at the attempt to rhyme the
words "blundered" and hundred"
Galveston Tribune: There is now alb
solutely nothing in the way of pros
perity, and If 1t doesn't return in a
reasonable time all the powers of earth
can not defeat the silver crusade, with
free trade plank movement, in the
next national election. But it is
hardly likely that any extraordinary
powers of persuasion or resistance will
be required. Prosperity is already
visible and tangible.
Leavenworth, Kansas, Times: Lon

Hey, the British promoter, is now or
ganizing another vast pool this time

lporteTs of Australian mutton. for the
