The Brenham Evening Press makes . YER,
suggestive hit in the following:
New orleans presents the decidedly rar
spectacle OF the local gas company havini
made three voluntary reductions in the pric'
OF gas to its consumers within short time

The Fort Worth Reeist., peeps into thu
future, and this is what It discovers:
The latest news from the cent OF political
war Is that our own ex Gov amor HoRg wants
to he the running mate OF bryan next year
form.
II Hogg succeeds in hvpnotizins tho next
National convention as effectively as he did
Tsmmany few days ago. there is NO telling
where he will land.
The Austin Tribune docs not want the pco-
pie to neglect living issues In a vain effort to
chase shadows. 1t says:
Haveemeyer is a real smart man. No ono
ever doubts that He is trying to flag the
attention Of the democrats 10 tho tariff cues
tion. and divert attention from the trusts. To
XIII the tariff would take manv years. and
the trusts. like the poor would be with us
always. First destroy the trusts and then
train the democratic guns on the tariff. Tho
trusts are the offspring the working colony,
so to speak. OF the tariff and they should
pc exterminatod first. We fear some good
democratic papers are going to be switched
on from the main issue. Hit the trusts first.

The Bryan Morning EaFje joyously screams
, sort of funeral dirge for King Cotton. and
gives II out that:
An enormous yield of small grain is report
% from Collin county. As much land was
devoted to wheat alone in Collin county rs
vas planted inf cotton to say nothing of the
'reat cotton crop. so the reign Of King Cot |
on Is broken in Collin county. Three million |
'ushes Is the estimated crop Of wheat in the
cnnty this year. 3.S00.Q00 bushels for the oat |
ron yield ard 100000 bushels for corn.
II these estimates are realized Collin coun-
v will be Strictly in 1t" tho coming fall.
The Eagle Pass Guides wishes are father
o the thought in The following:
With that new railroad to Eagle Pass that |
Gigantic irrigation scheme In operation ana

this Will be the most prosperous

The outlook Is certainly favorable. and !
