Henry Ryman was decoyed away
from his home last Friday night by
some unknown person coming to his
front gate and telling him that his
father, who lived about a half mile
away, had been kick by a mule and
his arm broken. Henry says he hur-
ried off to his father’s home to lend
his assitance, without inquiring
his informants name, and upon reach-
ing there found there was no truth in
the report, but when he returned
home found his house had been burg-
larized, his trunk broken open and
$19 in money missing.

To say that the exercises and tree
at the Methodist church Christmas
morning were a success, would be but
mildly expressing it, and the success
of the entertainment was due largely
to the untiring efforts of Bro. Hens-
ley. The church was decorated
throughout, and was lighted with
Chinese lanterns. The recitations and
the music were very good and the
audience seemed well pleased with
every number.

The El Campo Eagle, Wharton
Spectator and Richmond Coaster are
among the number of our exchanges
who did not get out papers this week.
Some republicans express them-
selves in such optimistic language
when talking on the subject of pros-
begin to fear for the
of
us
The edition consisted of
perity, that we
gouty laboring nun.
It is very evident that the late
General Lawton did not depend
the typewriter or the newspaper
terview for chronicling his deeds of
heroism, as some of his imitators in
the the Philippines do.
Editing an English comic paper at
the present time is not the next thing
to being on Easy street.
The southern delegates to the next
Republican National Convention are
likely to be a drug on the market.
Perhaps Geueial Bulier would have
done better if he had,, had a private
car equipped with a bath tub and an
administration to restrain him.
Oom Paul expressed gratitude to
his American friends, but he will i ot
neglect to hand out dum-dum bullets
to his soldiers right along. His
adage seems to be “Pray unceasingly
and keep your powder dry,” as well
as seeing that there is a liberal sup-
ply of cold lead.
The special Christinas edition
the Wharton Spectator reached
this week.
sixteen pages and was profusely illus-
trated.
The fact that an Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior, a man as close to
McKinley as the Hon. Webster
Davis is now on his way to the Trans-
vaal, si o Id not be lost sight of by the
public. It is claimed he visits that
country tor his “health,” but it strikes
the ordinary observer that South Af
Mr. Quay, no doubt, begins to be-
lieve the truth of that saying, “bles-
sings brighten as they take their
flight,” since that Senate seat is fast
slipping away. Brother Wanamaker
seems to have worked a
counter deal on it.
There appears to be very clear
evidence that postmasters in Utah
have been appointed by McKinley
u ho are charged with being polyga
mists, yet when an effort was made
in the House of representatives for
an investigation of these charges, the
republicans promptly voted against
it. Of course the proceedings to re-
move Roberts show no abatement.
The inconsistency of the republican
is thus made plain to the country.
The Civil Service reformers have
rigged up a fine argument in favor of
the merit system in reviewing the ad-
vancement of Gen. Leonard Wood.
But it must not be lost sight of that he
did not reach his present position
through his capacity to answer intri-
cate and irrelevent questions pro-
pounded by a commission.
Most surely the Senate will not
jriss the Mason resolution sympa-
thizing with the Boers. There is a
limit even to hypocrisy, and while we
are doing in the Philippines what the
Boers are preventing the British from
doing in South Africa, it behooves
the imperialists in the White House,
the Cabinet and in Congress to at
least maintain a simulation of con-
sistency before the world.
