George CUrlc says he is in favor of
the railroad commission but it is
strange to see all the opposers of the
commission two years ago fighting for
him now. They undoubtedly expect
'urn tc Jdll the force of it somehow
Gonzales Inquirer.
Two years ago the commission was
an issue in the campaign this year it
is not. The people voted for the
commission two years ago and it has
been established according to their
Wishes. There is not the slightest
danger that it will be disturbed by any
governor who may be chosen this year.
The commission is as safe as any oth-
er part of the organic law Houston
Post.
All the same the Hogg managers
have succeeded it making lots of peo-
ple believe that the commission was
an issue and in consequence have
bagged a great number of votes for
Gov. Hogg in the primaries that he
would haveuever'received but for the
fear that the commission would be
lost.
While other sections are devoting
all the.r time and attention to political
matters the Bruwnwood country is
buy making the finest crop of grain
corn and cotton ever seen in this part
of Tcxa. When the harvest comes
our barns and warehouses will be
filled. DrownWood Bulletin.
What's the matter with the Abilene
country? There is no section of the
state that can head it oifwhen it comes
to crops.
The Times in its write uji of the
mafnage of Mtss Eko?a Guide to
Young Mr Peoples party is at a Joss
to know why the issue should attack
Judge Cockicll The cause bf the at
tack if such it otn be called lies in
tho fact that the judge struck the first
blow and said enough to provoke any
otle. We-believc In the old Latin
nlaxim: No One strikes me with impor-
tunity. Eskota Guide.
It must 'be Hogg Latin; we never
heard it before. You certainly must
mean "incomprehensibility" that is a
much longer word if not more appli-
cable than "importunity."
The third party vote was so very
light in the ipatter of electing a con-
gressman to fill Mills' place that they
were hardly in it. The third party is
mostly fuss and feathers. Coming
West.
Ah! there Richard you don't keep
posted. The democratic majority has
been reduced from about 13000 to
about 2500 in the district spoken of
and if the gain to the third party con
tinues from now until the election this
fall the democrats will have to get a
move on themselves to beat them. It
is just as well to look the danger in the
face and be prepared to meet it.
The Grand View Sentinel a paper
which ruiis the msyttcal tetters "N.
R. P. A." at the head of its columns
says: "The Sentinel longs to see the
time when farmer's wives and daugh-
ters won't have to work in the cotton
patch. The sub-treasury plan will
not only release them of the hoe but
will send their children to school."
The Statesman knows a better recloe
than the sub-treasury for emancipating
women from the cotton patch. Don't
have any cotton patch. Austin States-
man. Still better don't have any wives
and daughters.
Senator Quay has never been
known as a very ardent friend of re-
form in the civil ceivicc but his ex-
perience at Minneapolis has it is
said convinced him of the necessity
of a law to keep federal officials from
participating in nominating conven-
tions and it is hinted that he pro-
poses introducing an amendment to
the civil service taw that will accom-
plish that purpose. If he does an
amendment will be offered to amend-
ment to prevent senators and repre-
sentatives in congress being delegates
to nominating conventions. Both
amendments would probably prove
popular with the people who might
then try their own hands at running
the nominating conventions for a while.
Elgin Courier.
The truth is congressmen should
under no circumstances be delegates
to conventions for they put in more
time looking after their fences than
they do in selecting a candidate that
the people want.
Did you ever think what a nice
large bag west Texas has been given
to hold hy the eastern portion ot the
state. East Texas gave away whole
counties in west Texas to obtain rail-
roads and when west Texas wants
roads now. having no land to give she
has to put up good hard cash to get
1 hem. This isn't the least of the hardship.
The population obtained bv these rail-
roads gives that section the lions share
of the school money which is taken
from wist Texas in the snape of lease
money or in other words Ve are labor-
ing under the most approved sort of
absentee landlordism. San Angelo
Standard.
And yet some of the counties have
profited little by past experience as is
evidenced by those counties that have
said by their convention they want two
more years of Hogg rule one ol which
is Tom Green the home of the Stan-
dard. The records of the state department
show that from July 6 1889 to De-
cember 31 1890 European moneyed
companies embracing the enormous
capital of $102700000 took out per-
mits to do business in Texas. This
was during Gov. Ross' administration.
Gov. Hogg and his legislature took
possession of the state government on
Jan. 1 1891. The people must re-
member the effect of the influx of for-
eign capital as it made money cheap
in the way of reducing the rate of inter-
est and they must remember too the
effect of the passage of the "alien land
law" by the regular session of the last
legislature as it drove the foreign cap-
ital out of the state and made money
not only scarce by increasing the rate
of interest. The supporters of Gov
Hogg contend he only made a mistake
in approving the alien land law which
earned so much injury to the prosper
ity of the sta'e. Ic was a serious mis-
take and as he made such a mistake
is it not reasonable to suppose that he
is likely to make another serious mis-
take to the injury of the people? We
need a governor too wise to make mis-
'takes and injure the prosperity of the
state This is no time to experiment
with doubtful measures of legislation
and as Gov. Hogg has shown that he
was not capable ol cool reflection and
exercising wise statesmanship it would
be best not to continue him in office
for fear he will make other mistakes
to the ruin of the people Alvatado
Bulletin.
There is food for reflection in the
foregoing. The records will also show

that west Texas is particularly the suf-
ferer in the withdrawal of capital and
how any county in this section can
support the present administration is
past belief.
Fence Bail Philosophy.
I frequently meet with a chronic
grumbler who explains his want of suc-
cess in life by saying: "It's getting so
now that there's no chance Tor a poor
man in this country. The big fish
will eat the little ones every time.".
''Very well" I say to him "then
why not be a big fish? Isn't it more
agreeable to eat than to be eaten? All
fish were minnows onee and those that
became big fish in most cases had no
better opportunities to become big
than the little ones."
So if a person is a little fish in life it
is because he did not improve the op-
portunities for making himself a big
one.
A man who is small because he
can't help it is simply unfortunate
but if he is small bf cause he stunted
himself in his youth by neglecting the
means of self-development he is not
unfortunate but is a self-made failure.
The declaration of independence
affirms that all men are born equal;
and so they are in the resources by
which life is made a success or a fail-
ure. The mental and moral qualifications
that make success in life are the result
of intelligent development.
Last year as a matter of experi-
ment I planttd two kernels of corn.
They were from the same cob exactly
alike in every respect so far as I could
see. One I planted in a deep rich
well pulverized soil and the other in a
poor hard clay soil. They both
germinated and were ready for the de-
velopment of cultivation. The one I
planted in the rich soil I left to take
care of itself but that I planted in the
poor soil I took special pains with. I
loosened up the earth so that it could
get all the benefits of the sun and rain.
I fertilized the soil and I raised the
destroying hand against every weed
that appeared. The little puny plant
soon began to respond to these devel-
oping influences and from a weak lit-
tle stem it became a strong healthy
stalk. When the harvest ttme came I
found three finely formed ears of corn
on the stalk; and manv little a kernel
of corn although planted in a poor
soil with circumstances against it was.
by intelligent development made a
perfect sue cess.
But how about that kernel that was
planted in the deep rich soil that was
neglected? Why it grew nicely for a
little while but some weeds started
up by its side that were better soil
feeders and the natural result was
that my poor stalk of corn having no
friendly hand to remove the weeds
was systematically robbed by these
enemies. When I visited the poor
thing at corn cutting time I found a
little puny stalk with one wee nubbin
of corn on it. I called the attention'
of the calf to it and she swallowed it
at one gulp.
Now I see just such human plants
every day. I see two boys "born
equal" so far as manual strength is
concerned. One may be planted in
the rich soil of wealth and the other
in the barren soil of poverty. But the
poOr boy may fertilize his mind by ed
ucation and cultivate it by study;
while the rich boy may allow vice to
choke out all the good in his nature.
The life of the poor boy is made a
shining success that of the rich boy a
dismal failure and from the same
causes (hat made one kernel of corn
produce three ears and another one
insignificent little nubbin. Western
