San Antonio Express Plans on
an immense scale for a colony for
the cure OF consumption are being
put into execution near oaxaca in
Mexico The founder of this colo
NY DR.. NJ. Damourette, one OF the
leading physicians of Mexico, was in
San Antonio few days ago and
stated that the colony would com.
prise 5000 acres with all the build
ings and improvements and will cost
when completed, S1,O0O,000. An
extensive organization in Southwest
Texas is preparing to make a fight
in the next legislature for a similar
colony in the name Of state santa
rum somewhere in the Texas noun
tains northwest of San Antonio and
Austin. A bill for the establishing
of such an institution passed the leg
islature, but was vetoed by the gov
ernOr for lack OF funds, but there is
81, 100000 surplus now in the treas
ury and II is believed that this HUI
name measure will pass.

1t Is to be supposed they will be-
have themselves, and that question
may be dismissed at once. The Nc
kinney paper adds, however that
they will be welcomed provided they
vote the Democrat ticket. The Daily
Panhandle hopes, too, they will vote
the Democratic ticket; yet the peo-
PIE OF the great Panhandle extend a
welcome to this new citizen his wife
and his "23" with much fervor and
sincerity regardless OF whether he
votes the Democratic, Republican, or
any other recognized ticket.
The people OF the Panhandle look
not upon mans political or re-

clean, moral human being, and with
a good supply OF energy and ambi-
ton in his makeup. All classes OF
political elements find a happy rest
Ing place and a welcome on the great

other in politics out this way, as is
the case over all the republic of
America, yet we are one in mind
and heart in the work of making the
great plains greater.

invitation to the new arrival at New

Cleburne Enterprise: II the peo-
pie OF the United States expect to
ever be free from graft and plumber,
they will have to purify themselves,
No laws will compel people to be
good when in power, unless they are
pure at heart. The trouble is that
nearly every man in the United
States would do just what the trust
magnates are doing were they by
fortune suddenly elevated to a like
position Of power. Il is impossible

lily believed to be spurious, but
which Mr.. Cleveland's executor at
irst said was genuine. II a forgery

VI which thought II was buying

punished for getting money under

Ar, Jerome, says, wrong doing of this
particular character In the midst OF
heated political coStest might af-
Get the result seriously. II Is de-
ireablc that campaign forgeries
Would be discouraged.
The only campaign forgery which
her had a perceptible effect was the
liorey letter OF 1880. II purported
% be written by General Garfield to
| nonexistent Massachusetts, manu-
lecturer and expressed pro-Chlnese
abor sentiments highly distastefm
70 voters on the Pacific coast. The
handwriting was clever imitation
N Garfield's. The letter was lltho-
lraphed and widely distributed on
lac eve Of election on the west coast.
H. authenticity was promptly denied,
lut It cost Garfield five OF the cleo
bral votes Of California. 1t might
lave beaten hint the vote had been
ute close. The author Of that for
cry was never detected.
It ought to be possible to fix the
responsibility for the Cleveland ar
icle. II is hardly likely that the
nan who sold It made II up entirely
mt OF his own head. II Is barely
ossible that the article is based in
art upon conversations had with
hr. Cleveland. In some particulars
certainly represents his views. But
hat does not lessen the guilt of the
han who stole the name of dead

locket. The living can speak for
themselves when their names are
,isused, but the dead cannot. The
Ulcers OF the law must act for them

EXCHANGE COMMENT.

With the generous land do
nation offered by j. c. Mont
gomery for city park, there is
no reason why Memphis should
not have one Of the most beau
tlful parks to be found in the
Panhandle and at a very small
cost Our citizens will be proud
OF II, too, when It has been beau
titled, and not one would Sell
their undivided interest therein
at any price, and be compelled
TO forego the pleasure of visit
Ing II during the summer
mouths.-Memphis Democrat.
Memphis is one of the most inter.
esting cities In the Panhandle, and
while Memphis people are thinking
about commercial victories they
should heed the Democrats advice
for that natural>park at once. Many
towns and cities in America have neg
lected this question to their sorrow.
Memphis could take no step just al
present more important to her future
popularity than to see that the at.
tractive land offered Is beautified-
not made into a fuss and feathers
affair, but arranged conveniently and
pleaslngly with as much of natural
beauty left untouched as possible.
Memphis should take over that park
and not waste any time about 1t.

In ursing Il the editor OF the Brand
gives out the following sage advice;
There has never been better or
more opportune time for the organi-
zation OF hSYoung Mems Christian
Association for Hereford. The fine
feeling that exists among the young
men as we'll as the elders should be
taken as the tide to launch out into
larger things for the city. But be-
fore this step is marked there should
be given due consideration as to the
full meaning OF the work of such an
organization.
1T is not a political organization
set out for the control OF the city
government or any other division
OF the state, II Is not a business club
where credits, freight dissertations,
and bOy-cots are discussed
"Such an association Is not suppos-
ed 10 foster any one thing In psrticu-
lar, but TO enable men TO enter into
their business and political life with
that confidence In their fellow men
which viii make them see the good
In everyone, act with true manhood
In every transaction an dadd that
success to their life which comes only
from full consciousness OF having
done their duty
Such an association should give
us pTer politics because It will make
purer men; such an order should
give us more business confidence, be-
cause II makes honest men, This
should be the purpose and nothing
else"
San Angelo Press-Ncws Many a
farmer owes much OF his success TO
his wife. She labors Just as long
and hard as he does. She markets
from her own efforts enough poul-
try, butter, eggs and garden truck
not only to buy all OF the groceries
needed, but clothes for the children.
The farmer who has an up-to-date
wife is certainly to be congratulated
and II he Will do his part there will
be peace, harmony and prosperity on
