Geo. Freeman, w. F. whurs,
Alutant. Commander.
Kvkky honest man should bo wil-
ling to have Hogg's administration
tried fairly by Its results : his oppon-
ents ask neither more nor less.
Wonder what they paid him for that
letter advUoiy to its policies in re*"
as? it turns out a whopping adver-
tising scheme and insurance compan-
ies generally pay for what they get.
Other insurance companies say it was
worth $25,000 and it was signed by
Holilngsw jrth as Texas commissioner
of insurance. What did he get for
it? _____
Hon. J. L Humphries, ex-County
Judge of Erath county, died at Ste-
phen ville Sunday morning. He was
in th<' prime of III", a man <if strong
individuality, a prominent candidate
for the district judgeship, had a liost
of friends and was honest in his po-
litical conduct, frank to friend and
foe and will be mourned by many of
Erath's best people. The Enquirer
knew him for ten years and never
had to guess where to find him on
any issue.
All this time has been flickered
away by the It. R. commission in
making or approving 225 tariff sched-
ules for one little thing after anoth-
er. They have not touched the vast
comodlty known as "general mer-
chandise," in which every person in
Texas is interested. They promise
to table it but for the present they
are writing defences of what they
have done for newspapers or junket-
ing in a Pulman car in Mexico.
Not many years ago John H. Rea-
gan in a speech in congress against a
railroad commission said that the
people knew It would be much easier
for railroad companies to buy out
three or seven commissioners than
for them to buy out a whole congress
or legislature. Reagan was an hon-
est democrat then and we'll bet he
still believes in the truth of his then
honest assertion. In fact, he ought
by this time to know exactly about
it. He has had experienced.
WOLFISH.
To the boys : When the campaign
opens this year you will hear soine-
Tws New York Herald nominates t|ling ailflre<l "wolfish." Just put
Henry Watterson, of the Courier- your ear to the ground and hear
Journal, for president. There is no
man for whom The Enquirer would
more gladly vote.
When a public official become in-
solent towards opponents and intol-
erant of press criticisms you may
know, by <>atlins, that his political
star is setting out of sight.
Accohdiw to Commissioner Fas-
ter the commission has, since Janu-
ary 10, 1891, approved 225 changes in
tariff schedules and made and issued
ten schedules of their own. Not one
of these affected the freight on gen-
oral merchandise—the most impor-
tant matter to all the people. Rea-
gan was right when he wrote that
the commission had not doue any-
thing much in general, but he neg-
lected to say that the little done had
hotter been left undone.
things "drap." We live in the age
of trades, schemes and combines.
RBAGAN RIDB8, THE BOYS HOE.
To the boys : Two years ago The
Enquirer told you that your wished
for railroad commissioners would be
riding over the country on railroads
free, drinking railroad champagne,
etc., etc.,. while you hoed. The En-
quirer did not suppose they would
ride out of the state, liut Iteagan
is'Hying over Mexico in a free Pull-
man of the M., K. & T. R. R.
It seems from recent developments
that Commissioner Hollingsworth is
using his official position to serve a. «*• -- -

PRESS SHOTS.
The endorsers of the Finley letter
now say they are glnd Mills was de-
feated, for Speaker of the House of
Representatives. They are evidently
in the "soup," and it makes little
difference what they endorse. Poor
fetlpws.—Hosijue Citi/.en.

The sam< crowd are glad for many
other and stronger reasons. They

Just wait, Bro. Geers, until Judge
Clark opens the campaign here In a
speech that will take the hide off.
The Weatherkori Enquirer,
usually a very fpir journal, in Itscom-
rnenU, speaks about the "combine"
supporting Old Dave Culberson for
United States Senator. What com-
bine does The Enquirek allude' to?
—Bosque Citizen.
The combine that involved the
chairmanship of the railway com-
mission, the United States Seua-
torship, the defeat of Mills for the
Speakership, the knitlng of Cleve-
land, the abandonment of tariff re-
form, the indefinite postponment of
silver legislation, the purchased con-
trol of railroad commissions, the sale
of democracy to corrupt Tammany,
etc., etc. Let the Citi/.en ask us
something hard.
Such booms as that given to Mr.
Mills at Waco will kill his prospects
faster than the grip. The Ledger is
for Mills for the Senate, and not to
down the administration.—Runnells
County Ledger.
Poor trusting soul! You are so
green you would have to be hung up
for years to dry before the political
fires would even scortch you.
The Fort Worth Uibbsette says
George Clark will be a candidate for
governor, and that he will make fun
for the newspapers. He would prob-
ably make it funny for the Gibbsette
and its gang, should he make the
race.—Waco Day.
No It won't be funny, but it will
be all-flred skinning. There are sev-
eral political hides in Texas that
won't hold shucks when the coming
campaign is ended.
Hon. Lee Riddle, representative
from Hood county, thinks Culberson
and Mills "wolfish" for wanting to
beat Chilton for the short term in the
senate. Lee was one of the freaks
of the Twenty-second Misfit, and his
opinions are always interesting.
Hon. Lee Riddle, of Hood county,
has not decided whether the consti-
tution makes the election of a sena-
tor at a special session obligatory.
When he decides he should let the
people know: they are waiting.—
Waco Day. ,
The "brilliant young statesmen"
are standing together, you know, and
several of them will hereafter stand
outside of the procession.
Mrs. .Jefferson Davis i* rightfully
proud of the naiiie of her deceased
husband. But when she signs her-
self V. Jefferson Davis she makes the
public tired. The Elder Weller's ad-
vice to spell the name with a "we"
could well be disregarded in this in-
stance.—Waco Day.
Say, Byrne, you jumped cle n over-
board. Look up the matter and then
you'll not feel'so "tired."
TnE Weathereuro Enquirer
man has gone daft on "combines."
He is a fire-eating Mills man and
thinks all who oppose him are In
some kind of a combine to defeat
him.—Wolf City Sun...
Your innocence is to be admired—
your ideas would do for food for ba-
bies only. 'Bless your innocent, un-
suspecting soul. But dear innocent,
please learn the meaning of "fire-
eating" Or take wings and fly away.
This polit ical world is no place for
you.
