INCIDENCE.

Incidence, 1aziness and ignorance
makes slaves of US all; slaves to
public opinions, to our superiors
and a slave to wealth. Why won t
YOU be free. man? Because you
sleep while others work; you sit
down In idleness and let the golden
moments 60 by. You gather neither
substance nor knowledge, therefore
YOU must bow to the will of your
superiors and go down to your
grave unhonored, for two reasons:
Because YOU were too lazy to work
and toe indolent to think. The
brow that might have been crown
ed with the civic wreath, the hands
that might have fashioned great
temples of art, made the canvass
talk and the marble to breathe,
goes down to oblivion forgotten
and unhonored. Man why will you
not be a freeman? Why will you
not be a tower of strength. rather
than a vassal or a cringing slave'

TRUTH rs. FICTION.

The utter disregard some news
papers have for facts, when they
think a prejudice may be aroused
to strengthen some political scheme
or purpose, is well illustrated IN
tha following editorial utterance in
a late issue of the Tyler Courier in
its effort to destroy any chance Of
a Southwest Texas citizen becom-
ing governor of Texas. It says:
Jim Wells wants to be Governor.
He was Lieutenant Governor
when the five big consolidation
bills were before the Legislature.
He went home (dodged) and re-
NAMED there until they were rail
roaded through the Senate in vio-
lation of all precedent, and then he
returned to Austin and proceeded
with the regular order of business.
Just how a paper can expect to
retain the confidence and respect
of Its readers, by giving utterance
to 50 palpable and gIaring a mis-
take as the above, IS hard to even
imagine. It does seem though,
that any school boy could have told
the Courier editor that there never
was such a name as Wells among
the list of Texas lieutenant gov
ernors. So far as those assertions
and reflections upon that distin-
guished citizen James B. Wells of
Brownsville are applicable, IS best
told in the fact, this gentleman,
except for y months, when he was
district Judge, has never held any
public office, and has always re
fused to acceptone Laredo Times.
