The News will tako advertising with tho understanding that if it has not a larger lecal circulation than any daily paper published in Waoo, no charge will bo mado for the advertise ment, THEN AND NOW. In 1S90 The News was for Hogg and an appoiotivo commission. In 1802 it is for Clark and an elcctivo commission, Vhen tho fight waB on in lS9d and tho opponents of Mr. Hogg declared that he would, if elect od and tho commission amendment was adopted, be satisfied with nothing short of a plenary commission de signed to control absolutoly all tho railioad property in Texas without iviog the owners an equal chanco with other property owners in tho courts of tho country. The News defended Mr. Hogg and in its oolumns appeared editorial after editorial denying that it was the de sire ot Mr. Hogg or his friends to take the railroads out oi the reach of the courts, denying that a plonary com mission was thought of, certainly not contemplated, most assuredly not de sired. Mr. Hogs; was elected and the amendment was adopted. Before a week after tho legislature met at Austin thoso who supported Hogg on principle and believed ho was a safe leador, and a conscionoious Democrat began to observe signs of tho very weakness his opponents charged him with, viz: A willingness to utterly disregard Domooratio principles if he thought by bo doing he conld perpetuate his offioial power. He dominated tho majority of the legislature to suoh an oxtent that in framing the first com mission bill it was actually proposed to out the railroads oil entirely from the courts. This proposition mot with suoh a storm of indignant oppo sition" from the truo and tried Demo crats in both houses that it was appar ently abandonod, but tho provision madefor legal redressjunder the present commission law is almost equivalent to a bar from tho oourts. This is count No. 1 against Mr. Hogg. The commissioners were appointed and they went to work without any knowlodgo whatever of tho businoss, and the result is that almost tho en tire lumbor region of East Texas ia prostrated because the rates on lumber as fixed by tho commission would not permit tho lumber manufactures to competo with those outsido of the state. Tho next move that demon strates tho plemary character of tho present oommission waB tho visit of Commissionter Foster to the cattle men's convention and the arbitrary re. duotion of freight rates nearly 50 per oont without giving any notice what ever to the railroads. The next movo in tho samo direction was tho exemp tion by tho oommission from all oom mission tariffs for a period of threo years a proposed railroad from Sey mour west to tho Rio Grande, This is sufficient to demonstrate that the commission is not only possessed with absolute powers, but it does not hesi tato to uso them. Govornor Hogg demanded that they be given this power and is thcreforo responsible for it. This is count No. 2, When it was urged that the peo plo should elect tho commissioners Gov. Hogg objected and the legislature was given to understand that ho would veto any "bill that did not givo tho appointing power to the govornor. Tin: News did not ondorso tho bull dozing racket, but boliovod the com missioners should be made appointivo and so stated at the timo. Governor Hogg's enemies urged that tho gov ornor would uso it as a political mu chino and The News dofondod him again. Tho very first turn out of the box the governor showed his hand and The News thon quit tho defend ing business. Tho appointment of John II. lloagan so as to create a vacancy and then tho appointment of Horaco Chilton on purely persona' grounds was a shameful disregard of the rights of tho people. The most flagrant political movo on tho part of tho commission, however, was the visit of Mr. Foster to Fort Worth and tho agreementjie mado with the com mittee on resolutions of tho cattlomen's convention to cut tho shipping rates oo per oont. provided tho oommittoo would not report a resolution endors ing Hon. George Clark for govornor. This was followed by tho exemption of the Wichita Valley railroad from Soymour west, evidently dono to win the peoplo along the lino to Hogg as the action of the commission was in response to a petition from a country almost unanimously for Clark. This is eount No. 3. The News has many objections to Governor Hogg, and it would be impossiblo to enumerate them all in one edition. Tho forego ing three counts wo have charged up against him as tins committed just as his enemies said would bo oommittod, and as his friends said wouldn't. He mistook tho clamor of sooialism for tho voice of democracy, and in pandering to a misguided sentiment, ho has brought reproaoh upon tho name of the banner Demooratio state of tho union Tho Democratic party of Texas oannot afford to re-elect Governor Hogg. SOME CUPPINGS. The Brenham Banner says : "Hon. R. Q. Mills has consented to address the people of Abilene on the political issues of the day some time during the canvass. Dollars to doughnuts that he will support Clark and true Democracy." Of course, he will. Mills has never failed to come out boldly for what he believes to be right. The Cleburno Chronicle does not believe it was a part of the duty of the members of the legislature to foist Hogg upon the people of Texas for a second term. It says : "Texas has witnessed tho most barefaced impudence in the action of the legislature in organizing as a cam paign committee to boom Hogg for reelection. These incompetents were, elected to make laws, and are paid for their services; yet they take advantage of tho positions conferred on them by the people, and disgust all fair-minded men by emulating ward heelers in stead of doing their duty. They are a disgrace to Texas." The bloody shirt addresses eminat ing from the Hogg conference called by tho Hogg house will be a bar to the return of every one of thoso 65 members to Austin next year. The Temple Times wants Hogg elected on Clark's platform It says : "Give us Hogg for governor, with a reasonable or ,no alien land law with a just railroad commission, and Texas will at the end of two years, bo on a real genuine boom." Wo have tried Hogg two years and he is responsible for an unreasonable alien land law and an unjust railroad commission. He has condescended to allow us a reasonable alien land law, but will soon go on the stump to defend the unjust commission law his legislature gave us. There is no sort of.platform that will bring back confi dence in Texas with Hogg as govern or. If the Times really desires to see Texas boom it should help us elect Clark. Dr. Goo. P. Mann, dontist.
