iHE MiKER wants every one of its readers to express his or
her opinion on the leading issues of the day, and to that end we
print a coupon on this page of this issue, which we wish you
would cut out and use to enlighten us on the question of how we
all stand on the tariff and silver questions. Every one knows
how 1 HE MiNER stands on those questions. Now, THE MiNER
wants to know how its patrons think. You may vote anony-
mously if you wish, but we would like every voter's name sub-
scribed to his vote. The result will be announced in due time.

WARM davs this week.
Now i r is the cultured Bostonian who finds his Pantata gone
wronn.
Dio any of you have any corn last week? 'Twas a good thing,
and made many a home happy.
CONGRESS will pass no tariff legislation this summer. What
difference does it make whether the people suffer or not, Democ-
racy don't care a fig.
THK\ say that the best remedy for preventing a broncho from
bucking is to feed him grasshoppers. This will insure the stuff-
ing being kicked out of him.
I t seems to be an unending job to nominate Democratic Con-
gressional candidates this summer. The hardest rub. though,
wilt be in November. Just wait and see.
"who toil not, neither do they spin" (they skin, though). Come,
gentlemen, be honest with the people—how do you stand? Are
you "wid us or agin us?"
NOT much profit in being an United States Senator this year,
or Congressman either. Five thousand dollars don't go far in
Washington hotel bills—when you pay 'em.
THE cotton crop seems to be in great danger of destruction bv
vermin. What a vast fortune awaits the man who willl invent a
way to prevent drouths, washouts, vermin, etc., and who will in-
sure a rich harvest by his invention.
Now THAT China and Japan are getting down to a fight to the
finish, silver goes up a peg. They both want the white metal.
Can't we induce Russia and Germany to do the elegant? '^hat
will help us along better yet.
lo THE editor of the Dallas News: Dear Sir—Don't you
know that the people of this state are tired of having "livers and
lights ' thrust before their eyes all the time? If you are so pressed
for ideas that you can find nothing to do but refer to that un-
pleasant subject, just call around to THE MiNER office.
THE MiNER is pleased to announce to its readers that the can-
didacy of J. C. Lowdon of Abilene for the Republican nomina-
tion for state treasurer will be unopposed in the convention. His
only adversary, Mr. Ed Anderson, has withdrawn from that race
and shied his castor into the fight for superintendent of public
instruction.
M. EDMOND iHiERv estimates that the whole production of
silver of all the mines in the world from 1493 t° 1893, four hun-
dred years, has been equivalent in our money to ten billions,
three hundred and eighty-seven millions, two hundred thousand
dollars, and ot gold eight billions, five hundred and twelve mil-
lions, eight hundred thousand dollars.
THE Assistant Democrats have a full ticket in the field now.
It is simply wonderful how many men, supposed heretofore to be
sound mentally, have joined the Lily Whites. Of course it is not
a Republican organization, and does not claim to be, but the idi-
otic followers of their banner think it is. Well, lots of good men
have gone wrong before. Many a prohibitionist has imbibed.
WE are pleased to note that the Fort Worth Gazette publishes
financial news in the place where its editorials (?) used to appear.
It is quite a relief, and no doubt adds largely to its circulation.
By the way, which Fort Worth paper has the largest circulation
now? The matter seems enshrouded in mystery, even since the
perjury trial is over. Will some kind sympathizer enlighten us?
THESE are days that try men's souls. Politicians must de-
clare for free silver or against it. There is no middle grour d.
You are either a friend of silver, hence a friend of the masses
who toil; or you are a friend of gold, hence a friend of those
THE American Economist declares "the most mischievous man
in the United States to-day is President Grover Cleveland. He
is mischievous because he is always insincere; he is mischievous
because he is tricky; he is mischievous because he is deceitful; he
is mischievous because he is a pretender; he is mischievous be-
cause he is ignorant; he is mischievous because of his assump-
tion of knowledge: he is mischievous because he is a coward."
"WHILE the house committee on commerce has taken no formal,
action on the subject, opinions expressed by its members indicate
that a bill along the line of that introduced by Representative
Brickner of Wisconsin, providing that all interstate railroads shall
own or control by lease all sleeping cars run over their lines, will,
sooner or later be favorably reported to the House. If such a
bill be reported an attempt will be made to add an amendment
regulating sleeping car charges."—[Washington Cor. TEXAS
