SATURDAY OCTOBER 24 1891.
The Campbells are coming are
coming are coming to grief—is a very
popular song in Ohio just now.
The foreign news budget is gen-
erally loaded down with false state-
ments and is most unreliable as a
guide to opinions concerning Euro-
pean affaire.
Baton Rouge journals arraign the
Louisiana state fair for Being too
much jocky club and too little state
fair. A possible predominance of
agricultural boss racing.
There is a limit it seems even to
the demands of old world socialists
and the crowd at Erfurth congress
found it ad visable to withdraw from
the assembly.
Watterson is ot opinion that
Campbell has the Salt creek route
before him. This opinion is more
prevalent along the Ohio than in
Texas.
Dallas Times Herald—ls the
mayor the boss or the servant of the
people? Had the Herald man lived
in Sau Autonio he would not have
asked that fool question.
The voting as dad votes does not
please Texas when it is done by
Ohio voters of the republican persua-
tion. Those Ohio fellows continue to
vote as they shot.
The Louisiana lottery seems to be
Aladdin’s lamp of that state. All
you have to do is to invoke its aid and
all that is required for schools levees
charities taxes et al seems forth-
coming.
The Picayune will save dignity and
dollars by withholding its bets on
Calamity Campbell’s election until
after the 3rd November. The Pic-
ayune has no pick-ma-ups on Ohio
that it is safe to bet on.
Parnell’s ghost haunts tne shades
of Irish home rule and proves an un-
judging from the influence
of his death upon Irish autonomy ot
feeling.
Senator Plumb has been working
like a beaver during the campaign
and his great work in Kansas the
most thorough canvass he has ever
made will be felt in the elections.
He has bearded the alliance in its
stronghold and planted his feet
squarely on the ground of old tried
and true republicanism. By this he
stands or falls.
The report is revived that Balma-
ceda is dead. No solvent company in
this country would like to insure his
reappearance all the same.
The democratic orators who know
what Blaine said and why be said it
better than Mr. Blaine does himself
will be unheard of after next week.
He will have fulfilled bis destiny.
Flint the suiciding express rob-
ber was the right kind of a thief. It
a man is going in for that kind of
thing and proposes to defy law let
him have the courage of his actions
and not squeal when it comes to tak>
mg his gruel.
Atlanta unveils a monument to
Grady but the state legislature re-
fuses to care for the splendid home
which his exertions provided for dis-
abled confederates. Will Georgia
ever forgive the alliance tor this in-
sult.
Gold is coming our way in good
shape and will continue to come. It
will come faster after the election
early in November. Republican vic-
tories always increase foreign confi-
dence in our financial soundness.
The Kansas Mortgagecrop is being
harvested. Sixty counties in east
and central Kansas show that the
crop is twenty-six per cent shortened
since June Ist; that is only seventy-
four per cent of it left standing. This
is what makes Pfeffer howl.
Chicago does not take kindly to
theidtaof closing the World’s fair
on Sunday and the windy city will
find it has dead loads of sympathy
all over the country in its effort to
open the exposition on the one day
in all the seven in which clerks
artesins and laboring men of all
kinds can attend without taking
bread out ot the mouths of themselves
and families.
The “diamond special” now run-
ning on the Vandalia line between
St. Louis and Cbicago covers the 290
miles between East St. Louis and
Grand Crossing Chicago in ten
hours. This is a very fair ttn as it
includes some fifteen st opsone of
them of ten minutes. The west is
coming into it in the matter of rapid
transit.
Roger Q. Mills and Crisp are the
prominent candidates for speakership.
The others will not be heard from
very prominently until after the hash
is settled between these two. Crisp
assumes to have more support than
he can show the papers for and mat-
ters grow strained between himself
and Mills.
The Sunday law of Baltimore is
old and very stringent It has never
been enforced until now and the pres-
ent effort is made to force its repeal at
the hands of the next legislature. A
kind of political doing evil that good
may come.
Every member of the Canadian
Cabinet has placed his resignation in
Premier Abbot’s hands pending re-
construction of cabinet. This leaves
Abbott free to act in selecting a recon-
structed body of ministers and in no
country Is reconstruction more neces-
sary.
Uncle Bam will not much longer
continue the attempt to deliver mall
by carriers in those cities where no
attention is paid to the naming of
streets and numbering of residences.
Already has the recommendation
been made by the inspector that
Houston be stricken from the list of
free delivery cities and San Antonio
may come next unless a remedy is
provided for the irregular numoerlng
of residencesand the names of streets
properly displayed.
Texas continues to grow and in
her growth takes on new forms con-
tinually as well as adds to the volume
of her old. In the increase and de-
velopment of this new side by side
with and necessaryly supplanting that
old lies the great hope of the state
for a future of unprecedented growth
and greatness Already the wheat
and corn and oats and vegetable crop
of Texas are ciming into importance
and the whole dependence of the state
is not In cotton and cattle as it was a
decade since. Each year will see this
change more marked and to diversi-
fied agriculture will be added manufac-
turingenterprise until the whole face
of thestate’sindustries will bechanged
and prosperity flood our channels of
trade through scores of feeders hard-
ly as yet brought into existence. Tex.
a has the raw material she has the
agricultural possibilities she has the
open door of a great ocean commerce
she has the climate and in the proper
utilization of her advantages she can
enter the lists with any state in the
Union any community in christen-
dom and successfully hold her own.
Texas is a great state. A state to be
proud of; a state which offers une-
qualled advantages to industry and
investment; a state which has more
outcome and in which the industrious
can reap greater income than any
where else on the A merican continent.
Thirty thousand dollars for Garza
dead or alive! A mighty poor specu-
lation for the mau who kills him a
mighty poor bargain for the govern-
ment which pays for his carcass.
Mexico appropriates $50000 for pre-
liminary expenses of preparing for
world’s fair this fiscal year. This is
practical and business like.
The Houston Herald delving into
things occult asks: “Are there Ma-
hatmas?” There are and they have
conveyed the intelligence from Mas-
sachusetts to lowa that Grover’s baby
cannot stem the tide of republican
triumph in the great states that hold
elections this year.
With Germany France and Italy
open to the importation of American
pork the pork makers of this country
will And a wider market for their
crop and the farmers profitable busi-
ness in raising corn and turning it in-
to pork.
The gin men are making noble ef-
forts to reduce the marketable quan-
tity of cotton. It does not appear
however to have much influence upon
prices.
Texas is making a move in some
counties towards raising her World’s
Fair funds. The ladies are turning
solicitors and trying to make up the
quota allotted the several counties.
Galveston and Houston are at work
and San Antonio will soon make an
effort. It is hoped that the ladies
who undertake this work will be
chosen from those whose faith re-
moves mountains.
Campbell says the republican
party is responsible for the national
legislation of the last thirty years.
This fs simply a confession that the
democratic party have accomplished
nothing In the way of national legis-
lation though in possession of the
national house of representatives for
half ef those thirty years. Campbell
says too much trying to say too little.
e The croakers against the scalp law
are mighty short sighted. If heavy
bounties are demanded by the neces-
sities of the case then the more need
of the law to destroy noxious animals
and the less cause for kicking. If no
bounties ot any moment are paid it
demonstrates less need for the Jaw
and minimizes the need of kicking.
The Galveston News takes excep-
tions'and justly to Senator Plumb’s
assertion that had the Kansas sub
treasury missionaries who visited the
south denounced the democratic party
instead of the republican party they
would have ornamented the nearest
tree. The Light is a living witness
to the freedom of speech republican
speech in democratic Texas. De-
nouncing the democracy is one of the
duties that devolves upon the Light
and it has not feared nor shunned to
declare the whole counsel of republi-
canism but it has never been hurg
drawn or quartered never been mo-
lested in sanctum or on stump for the
utterances of its political opinions and
feels just as free and safe in Texas as
it would in Senator Plumb’s owu dis-
trict but it feels awfully lonesome.
