applied to the management of the fi-
nancial affairs of the government
What The Critic Says.
The more we know of Texas Demo-
cratic history, the less we esteem the
subjects of it
Every fool knows how often he has
been a rogue, but every rogue does not
know how often he lias been a fool.
Patriotism, liberty, reform and many
other good things have got a bad name
by keeping bad company. If Jefferson
had never been a Democrat his great-
ness would have been immeasurable.
When a knave sallies forth to deceive
us, he dresses up his thoughts in his
best words, as he does his body. He
doesn't believe in either clothing his
thoughts in cheap words or his body
in rags, Col. Hogg to the contrary.
There was very little rythm but
much prose in Joe Savers' Brenham in-
terview, too much prese, In fact.
A prodigal starts with ten thousand
pounds and dies worth nothing; a miser
starts with nothing and dies worth ten
thousand pounds. It has been asked,
which has had the best of it? I should
presume the prodigal; he has spent
a fortune, but the miser has only left
ono; he has lived rich, to die poor;
the miser has lived poor to die rich,
and if the prodigal quits Ufe in debt
to others, the miser quits life Still deep-
er In debt to himself.—Laoon.

the heart In another; but as most of
our vices are compound, so also is
their punishment
In naval architecture, the rudder is
first fitted in, then the ballast
is put on board, and last of all, the
cargo and sails. It is otherwise, how-
ever. in the fitting up and forming of
man. He Is launched into life with his
cargo of faculties aboard, and all the
sails of his passions set; but it is the
long and painful work of Ufe to ac-
quire the ballast of experience and to
form the rudder of reason. Hence it
too often happens that his frail
Is shipwrecked before he has laid in
the necessary quantity of ballast, or
that he has been so long in completing
the rudder that the vessel has become
too crasy to benefit by its application
when the ship becomes uncontrollable.
Attempts at reformation, when they
fail, strengthen despotism, as he that
truggles tightens the cords he does not
succeed in breaking. This is the pen-
alty that attaches to a half-hearted at-
tack on corruption.

to light the foundation stones of our
false money structure. It lifts the
mask of hypocracy from our law mak-
ers and shows the infamy of aU bond

line of thought and facts never pre-
sented by any other writer.
Col. S. F. Norton says: "It is a pow-'
erful and unanswerable argument."
Gov. Frank Birkitt, of Mississippi,
says: "It follows a Une different from
any other reform work and its very
novelty makes it the more attractive."
W. S. Morgan of the Buss-Caw, says:
"It is one of the best things that has
been written along that line;" Rev.
D. Oglesby, D. D., says: "It contains
the essence of the great conspiracy that
is enslaving the world." Thousands
are speaking of It in similar terms.
