The New York Tribune thinks
Henry George may be wrong, but
admires his "sincerity" and "reli-
gious enthusiasm." Hon. John St.
John and Gen. Neal Dow will bring
another consignment of sincerity and
religions enthusiasm into New York
state before long.
Don't lose sight of the fact that
Sherman's boom is about to swell,
enlarge and expand until it will en-
tirely overshadow and dwarf into in
significance all other booms ever
heard of in Texas or elsewhere,
Tna irony of fate was never more
forcibly illustrated than in the sad
ending of Cul. A. J. Hitchcock, who,
hft«r surviving the Goliad massacre,
lived to be roasted to death in a hotel
fire at Denton.
