If the population of Texas were
100,000,000, and were a wall
erected around the state, thepeo-
ple could maintain the loftiest
character of civilization with a
complete system of industry with-
out calling upon the world for
supplies. On the other hand,
much would be produced both in
raw materials and manufactured
products which the world would
ba compelled to buy. With cot-
ton, cattle, grain, lumber, irun,
copper, oil, coal, wool, vegetables
fruits, and the products of lesser
importance, in sufficient quanti
ties, Texas would be independent
of the world, and the time will
come when 100,000,000 people
will dwell comfortably in Texas
and prosper.—Grand Saline Sun.

Ex-Governor Hogg is to speak
at the meeting of the State Far
mers' Union in Waoo next month
and already there is keen inter-
est manifested in what he may
have to say. Somehow there
seems to be an impression that
he will make an important pro-
nouncement as to state or politi-
cal issues on that occasion and
thus give the public some idea as
to how the oampaign of 1906 will
be shaped. People who profess
to be able to forecast ex-Gover-
nor Hogg's attitude say they be-
lieve he will be found supporting
Hon. Tom M. Campbell's guber-
natorial aspirations. The* Tri-
bune doee not know what Gover-
nor Hogg will say, or whether he
will touoh on political issues at
all. But this we do know: That
what he does say will be inter-
esting and timely and it will be
in line with the interests of Texas
and Texas people. The record
of the past warrants this predic-
tion.—Waco Tribune.
that Galveston firm ever did or
said or in any way whatever tried
to influence a single person to
spend 5 cents with this Elgin
house. Wonder if that Galves-
on firm ever spent one moment's
time or one 5 cents either in the
support of Elgin's schools, her
churches, or any public improve-
ment either for the benefit of city
at large or for any individual in
Elgin. Wonder if they ever paid
street tax or contributed to any-
thing that might help to bring
to Elgin trade. Lastly—Won-
der if there is not a firm in Elgin
who has done and is constantly
doing all of these and who could
and gladly would have printed
printed this job in the same type
on the the same paper and at the
same prioe and guaranteed the
work to be equally as good if not
better, and we wonder if a busi
ness house who sends off for stuff
they can get at home oan really
expect the same local support
that is given the man who spends
his money at home.—Elgin
Courier.
Journalistic Enterprise.
The Houston Chronicle Realty
and Building Company is the
name of a new corporation just
formed at Houston, Texas, com-
posed of stockholders of The
Houston Chronicle Publishing
Company. The new company
has purchased ground on the
main street of the city for the
purpose of erecting a building in
the next few years to be used by
the Houston Chroniole. The di-
rectors of the new company are
M. E. Foster, president of The
Houston Chronicle; C. G. Pillot,
H. T. Keller, Bryan Heard and
Sterling Eyer.
The Houston Chroniole was es-
tablished less than four years
ago, and in that time has grown
to be one of the state's greatest
newspapers, having a circulation
of just a little less than 20,000
oopies daily. It has been the
greatest success of any paper
ever established in the south, and
the fact that it ie already making
plane for a permanent home is an
encouraging feature and shows
that the paper hae been well
managed financially as well as
from the editorial end.
Stopped His Paper.
Not long since one of our Sub-
scribers came in and stopped his
paper, sayirtg he was not able to
keep it going; said he and his
family liked to read it but he was
not able That same day he
spent some three or four dollars
in the saloons, was arrested,
spent the night in the calaboose
and next morning paid the city
$8.70. The result is he could
have paid for his paper about ten
years in advanoe but now he has
no paper, nor anything to show
for his money.—West Times.
Twelve hundred suits have
been brought against the rail*
roads of the country which in-
volve the imposition of a penalty
of $400 in each case for an alleg-
ed violation of the 28-hour law,
which demands that stock be not
kept longer than twenty-eight
hours loaded and deprived of
feed, water and rest.
Nobody can enjoy the confi-
dece and esteem of a community
without paying their honest
debts. The public soon learns
who is trustworthy and places the
seal of honesty on th« man who
cancels his obligation by paying
for value received.—Ex.
The mountains of the interior
of Mexioo offer opportunities for
attracting immense tourist travel
from the United States and
palatial hotels are projected on
the peaks and some of the cav-
erns of that country.
England has withdrawn all her
battleships from the Chinese seas
and Germany is about to do the
same thing. Togo is said to have
figured conspicuously in this
movement.
Frenzied Finance.
The offioial statement that the
assets of the Equitable Life In-
surance oompany have shrunk
from $80,000,000 to one-eighth
of that sum shows the vast
shrinkage of the paper value of
the stocks and bonds that Wall
street holds as security for the
people's money. The incompe-
tent hands into which this great
fiduciary institution *has fallen
indicates that other corporations
of like natures may be also the
foot-balls of the votaries of
"Frenzied Finance." The fact
that such a state of affairs exist
shows either the incompetence
or something worse of the insur-
ance department of the state of
New York under republican par-
tisan control, and throws a simi-
lar shadow over the state bank-
ing department. How do we
know that the great trust corpor
To Kill Mites.
Take an empty quart bottle, fill
two thirds full of kerosene, add
four large spoonfuls of spirits of
turpentine, also four spoons of
camphor gum, dissolved in whis-
ky or aloohol. Shake well to-
gether; cut a small notch in the
side of a stopper (oork); insert
this tight in your bottle. Now
shake this all over your roosts,
walls, floor and sides of your
nests—not on your chickens.
Your mites will disappear as if
by magic from the premises and
the ohickens. You may have to
repeat the dose in a few days.
Generally one dose Is sufficient.
A number of wounderful oaves
