NOTE AND COMMENT.

When Bryan passed through Taylor the
ot1tr day school wac suspended ns II TOT
holiday and thousands turned out TO h"ar tne
great ono-idead spouter, AS Y the presl-
Dental campaign was In full blast and the
country had to be saved again. The Houston
Pests front page was full OF Bryan and 'nu-
man liberty" aud from the west fork Of the
Brszos to the northernmost part Of No Mans
Land. and from the Rio Grandc to the piney
woods of East Texas people howled themselves
hogrse. and bowed before the millennial KING,
the only savior OF the masses and the only
ranacea for Accent cotton. As we behold THIS
spectacle we wonder how much these people
woLld gain II they spent as much time attend
ing to business trying TO make hons beauti-
full and raising something to eat and improV-
inc their stock instead Of running mad after
tho greatest fraud who ever offered hnssf
az a presidential candidate. -velssco World
when Mckinley was swinging around the
circle visiting Omaha, Atlanta and other
places, and people were falling over each

Houston is not on the right side OF the
fence In her opposition to the separation OF
the management OF the public schools and
pclltics. The interests Of the schools in all

60 and prayed for. The Houston Post is TAX
ing ground against the opposition that mas
intoligently for that city.--San Antonio Light.
Houston simply let the matter go by de-
feult a. Austin.
