Doubtless the first jester was a

OUR RESPECTS TO Mr.. HEWITT

In letter published elsewhere in
this paper Commercial Secretary
Hewitt takes up the cudgels in opposi-
ton to selling "the east half of block
1885," which. by the way, is only quar-
ter of a block, and in conclusion he
asks if we are not converted to his
way of thinking. Without undertaking
to answer Mr.. Hewit's long and elab-
crate argument lin which he adduces
nothing new, we have only to say that
our opinion is unchanged. The con-
tention that so small spot, only 125
by 1875 feet, is fit for a camping place,
is not to be considered, even for the
comparatively few campers who spend
the night in Bryan. But as long as it
is used for this purpose it serves as
an excuse for failing to provide a
wagon yard such as the eXigencies of
the case demand.
While Mr.. Hewitt was keeping ac-
curate count of the wagons that have
camped there, if he aid used his eyes
and his nose-to the best advantage,
he would have seen that in its present
condition that little piece of ground is
the filthiest spot in Bryan, an eye
sore and a plague spot 1t is nothing
short of a disgrace to the town. The
city will not, and ought not, clean it
up because it is not available for any
thing the city needs 1t should be
sold to someone who will at least clear
away the rotten shacks and accumu-
lated filth With its advantages of To-
cation it ought TO sell for enough to
buy and fit up a whole block in more
suitable place for campers.
AS we have often said, there is moth
ing not already provided for that Bryan
needs more than a well equipped and
well managed wagon yard, and the
miserable excuse for one which this
little place furnishes is a hindrance to
the accomplishment of this object.

The cattle barons of West Texas
have again assumed to dictate to the
democrats of the whole country. This
is nothing new; they have been doing
this ever since the war. These same
cattle barons tried by every means in
their power, including murder in some
instances, to keep farmers out of that
country. But the farmers there are
now more numerous than the cattle
barons. The denunciation of Congress
