There was very little populsm In Texas
before clevelandism began to destroy the
democratic party by attempting to sacrifice
democratic principle In order to please East
ern selfshness. SO soon as the party at
| Chicago returned to the defense of popular
rights and interests and cut loose from the
wing Of expediency and piutocratlc leanings
lust then the necessity for abandoning the
| democratic party in order to get into a
| peoples party ceased to exist, Thousands Of
old Texas democrats who had wandered
away came back. and they are coming yet
So long as the democratic party Is true to
itself and its traditions there will be no
populist organization in Texas worthy OF
note.

The big and iiltlo factories must do their
own bart In stimulating this very much de-
sired policy everywhere of patronage of
home industries. When home institution
turns out MS good goods and at practically
as CHEAP prices as can be obtained elsewhere
and let's the home public fully know that
fact it will generally be found that the
practical help from homo people is forthcom-
ing. Local patriotism. however. is never
very sentimental. and wants Its full dollars
worth.
The Record does not publish the crop re-
port OF Fayette county published by the
daily press for the reason that we do not
believe that they mean more than guess
at the crop. The reporter In nearly every
instance is man who lives In town and
knows absolutely nothing OF the increase VI
decrease OF crops.--Flatonla Record.
This would seem TO argue that n man can
not learn ANYTHING except BY ocular demon
stration. The CROP reports of the daily press
from time to time are of real merit and
value and are of course. based upon gen
orally reliable information obtained from
those who do know something of the in
crease or decrease OF crops," The guess"
is IN word n substantially calculated esti-
mate and makes useful reading.

And this refusal OF ''unlimted credit" will
doubtless arouse the indignation OF that
largs portion OF the public who believe that
newspapers are published simply for the fun
OF the proprietor. The hardest part Of any
newspapers career is that period when the
patrons and home public are being gradually
