W* have received a very ex-
oeedingly kind and magnanimous
offer from the republican national
committee. The offer is one to
famish us with an abundance of
editorial matter for eaoh issue of
our psp«r. Kind, isn't it? It
aleo gives ua a very good pointer
on the souroe of the editorials in
a large number of the republican
sheets of the country.
Fbom all reliable information at
hand Bryan and his immediate fol-
lowers, as well as the free silver
heresy, have sunk into complete
oblivion. But it is really strange,
in that cass, that the republicans
ahould commence their deception
and misleading statements, and in
fact the regular campaign for 1900,
•o soon, as they have. It would
aaam as though they would take
lile easy.
Tse San Antonio Expffsa oh-
jeots to Chairman Blake calling
the state democratic executive
committee together, and says it is
too early, etc. Some of these
papers tbat read themselves out
of the democratic party last vear
are either afflicted with elephan-
tiasis of the gall, or are trying
mighty hard to break into the party
again.—Houston Post.
The Express, in again attempt-
ing to meddle in democratic af-
Jhirs, is acting as nearly consist-
ent as it is possible for tbat class
of newspapers to act. However,
the stage of amusement has passed
and gone. Disgust is what one
isels now on reading suoh stuff.
Ths silver forces, it is said, are
looking for a new leader. The
idiosyncrasies of thoss who lsd the
silver o iuse to defeat last fall are
growing so rapidly that the people
who are spending money to keep
the silver cause before the eountry
have oonoluded to make a ohange
III leadership. It is understood
that this was the real cause of the
Chicago gathering, in which "sil-
ver repu'lioan party'* was organ-
laed, and that the work of this or-
ganisation will be to push a new
man to the front to displace Bryan
as the leader of the stiver move-
ment—From the rot sent us by
lito ropublioan national committee.
This ia a most remarkable piece
oi deception in view of the plain
ffcet that Mr. Bryan is every day
growing in popularity and gidning
more and more the confidenoe of
who voted for him and a
good many millions who were in-
timidated ont of voting for him.
The committee appointed by
4ha house to tee tbat nothiog but
good sectional or orthodox
teaching la dished out to students
of the university has reported, and
the report Is merely another windy
ohapter in an untimely faroe.—
Galveston News.
The News knew that it was
merely indulging in its mania for
misrepresenting a democratic
legislature when it printed the
vile Insinuation contained in the
foregoing paragraph. The inves-
tigation was not on party grounds
at all. It was a queetion of South-
em history and sentiment that was
involved. It was a matter dear
to the heart of every true bora
Southern man who has not be-
come a traitorous scran to his sec-
tion. Ofoourse the News could
not sympathise with suoh an in-
quiry. The News is edited for
the pur pos s of being quoted
against the South by Northern re*
publican sheets. It fills the plaoe
in journalism in the South that the
informer fills, for example, in
Irish seoret societies. Still the
Post oannot allow suoh contempti-
ble mendaoity to pass without re*
futing it.—Houston Post.
In order to save our friends the
lsborious effort necessary in asking
the question, the Coaster editor
desires to publicly state that it is
sufficiently hot to suit him and
it will so continue the remainder of
the summer.—Riohmond CoaBter.
A KENTUCKY CRITIC.
Rtclimoud Ooaster.
The Galveston News last week
published a letter from a man in
Lexington, Ky., criticising the
Texas legislature for sdopting a
resolution demanding an investiga-
tion of the report that the State
University is presided over by a
professor who íb endeavoring to
teach anti-Southern sentiments.
The writer stated tnat he had de-
cided to purohase a farm in Bra-
zoria county, but if the resolution
voiced the sentiment of the Texas
people he wauld forego that great
honor to the state. Now, had that
letter been received by any true
Southern paper the gentleman in
Kentucky would have been politely
requested to go to the infernal re-
gions and be dad gummed. The
News, however, in conformity to
its established practice of slauder-
ing its own people and catering to
every eenimeut having it* org u
in the North, proceeds at iengta to
apologise for the aotion of the
legislature and to brazenly assert
that it is not the public sentiment
of Texas. In effect, it urges the
gentleman not to believe that the
people of Texas would dare to ob-
ject to having tbeir children taught
that the South was wrong—dead
wrong—in ts sentiment and his-
toric lore, and that despite a mis-
fit legislature they crave an influx
of Northern people who will raise
them from their standard of igno-
rance by explaining what ingratos
they are to even imagine they, are
the equals of their Northern
brothers. On the people of Texas
who know the News the article re-
ferred to will have no effect, ex-
cept to add to the disgust generally
felt for ite utterances, but to the
man in Kentueky it may oonvey
the impression that his kind are
wanted here. But suoh is not the
esse. Texas has millions of acres
oi the best land in the world whl h
it desires good people to oocupy.
It offers in addition a genial cli-
mate and good treatment, but it
doee not want people of this Ken*
tuokian's stripe, who think that
the establiahed customs ot an en-
tire people ahould be revolution-
ised to suit their own little narrow
opinion of what should be. Texas
is a Southern state, and always
will be. A man's politios is reoog-
nised aa hie own individual right,
but ite people do not purpose to
change its views to please those
who aocept its hospitality, and the
beat thing for Texas and this par
tioular Kentuckian is for him to
stay right where he is. Texas
doesn't need his sort, the News to
the oontrary notwithstanding.
Barb wire fenoe is beooming a
nuisanoe. It may have been a ne-
cessity when fences were inolaimi
and few, and stock of little value,
but it is out of date now. Every
lane (and in thiokly settled por-
tions all highways are lanes) is
bordered with barb wire on eaoh
side, dangerous alike to men and
anímala. We do not objeot to
these bristling feneea on the great
atook ranches of the West, but in
the densely peopled seotions,
where animals are of muoh greater
individual value, barb wire is a
barbarous nuisanoe. There are
many plain snd woven wire fences
just as oheap, just as durable, and
entirely free from the objeotions
urged «gainst the barb wire.
Everywhere oan be found animals
killed, mutilated or soarred by
these bristling terrors. As near as
we oan estimate from the ourrent
news, there are in Texas between
14 and 20 human lives lost from
this oauae every year, end a far
gréater number seriously injured.
The barb wire fenoe is too costly
and injurious a luxury to be toler-
ated much longer.—Texas Farm
and Ranoh.

The fusion in Iowa of the nilvf-r
republicans and a portion of the
populists with the democrats,
upon a platform reasserting free
coinage of silver as the paramount
political issue ot' the timeB in this
country, ia but another dem .nitra
tion ot the fact that the great bat-
tle ot 18% is to be fought over
again. Those hopeful gentlemen
of the goldbug camp who h ive
he.n declaring that silver and
"Bryanism" were dead, were first
rebuked in Kentucky the o her
day and are again answered b\
this aotion in Iowa.
Every western and southern
state will follow with an unquali-
fied indorsement of Bryan and an
uncompromising declaration in be-
half of silver. American devotion
to a party principle can not be
conquered by one defeat at the
polls. As in Kentucky so in Iowa
there was unbounded enthusiasm
and the exhibition ot a superb and
supreme confidence in a final vic-
tory. It is significant that the re-
port from Iowa declares that
-'there was no quarter given to the
gold democrats." Ii is reoognised
that the next fight will fornish no
time nor opportuity for temporis-
ing. Those who are not with ua
will have to be against us. The
demooraoy came near winning be-
fore, when there was a complete
fusion between McKinleyism and
the gold demoorats and before the
republicans had sprung their tariff
monstrosity upon the country, and
the ohanoes for suooess against any
possible coalition against them
next time grow brighter for the
silver foroes every day.
A change of 25,000 votes would
have ohanged the result in 1896.
Possibly without exaggeration, it
can bo stated tbat one hundred
timee that number of men, who
voted for MoKinley laat year, are
already aiok and disgusted with
their bargain. Not a man who
voted for Bryan in the laat cam-
paign hsa had reason or excuse up
