The condition of the situation no
doubt is similar to that of towns a

Doubtless the Julians, in their
zeal to kill the Cresset, made a very
strong case against the editor of that
paper before the grand jury. The
trouble about the bill lies in the
fact that the third newspaper man

who, with sublime self-sacrifice, did
their duty only.
There are unnamed heroes every-

la obscure places, where few eyes sea

or heralding them. More often they
are heroines, gentle women who meet

deep chest breathing, as well as in-
flectionsof the voice, the long walks,-
the calisthenics, all are popular, as
the age demands health and well
developed muscles, as well as train-
ed mental faculties.
Even our girls are taught these
things, and they shoot at ten-
nis, beat their dumb bells, ride,
boat, walk, even practice gymas-
tics in order to develop their deli-
cate muscles and strengthen their
nerves.
With all this care of the body
indeed in every view of Monterey, this
rugge 1 background is ever before the
eyes, distance being almost annihilated
by the rarefied atmosphere of the moun-
tains.
To the new-comer, especially if escap-
ing from the rigors of a Northern
winter, the first night in Monterey
oilers a scene of enchantment. The
narrow streets, with their dead-walls of
massive masonry, flat roofed, para-
peted houses, with balconies and
windows barred with iron gratings;the
si niching groups of loungers at the
street corners, wrapped to their eves in
gaudy serape, and shaded by sombreros
of immense dimensions—all have a de-
lightfully foreign look. Even the ex-

The Cresset takes a more roseate
view of the situation than portray-
ed by our correspondent Melrose
Home. In the rough and tumble
scuffle for the top round of the lad-
der many wrong are worked. How-
ever the ladder remains
firmly planted against .the wall of
progress and past wrongs are right-
ed and new wrongs inflicted and
the world moves on and on.
As the fight between the Knights
of Labor and the Gould system of
railroads has p- ogressed the public,
regardless of whichever side had
their sympathy, have been impress-
ed with the fact that they were the
greatest sufferers. As the com-
merce of the country is dependent
on the constant movement of trains
such action should be taken by the.
general government as will pre-
clude the possibility of a recurrence
of the present entanlement.
Let’s see;—would it pay to build
a large, well apportioned, well ven-
tilated hotel? The number of visit-
ors now will average 30 per day.
Can this number he increased to
200 or 300? We think it can
in the summer months for
gradually the people of Texas and
people beyond the confines of the
state are learning that here at San
Marcos nature has set her seal* of
royalty and given a climate that
makes the place a sanitarium. This
should he the picnic ground for all
Texas, and a health resort for every-
where. Will it pay to make "it so.
Business and professional men of
Galveston, San Antonio, Dallas,
Houston or Fort Worth of our own
state now come to San Marcos for
rest and recreation. They are de-
lighted with the mountain breezes
and the mountain scenery; they
are enchanted with the river; hut
they miss the hotel ease and ele-
gance of cities and roomy comforts
of pleasure resort hotels. They
abridge their stays to get back to
quarters where there is plenty of
ventilation and room to kick off
slippers without at the same time
kicking overa chair or upsetting a
table. Let these people once know
the best of hotel accommodations
for all who will come can be found,
the result will be almost magical.
What will 200 daily vistors mean?
Say on close figure $600 spent in
the various channels of trade. More
than this it will add to the dignity
and character of the town and in-
sure the success of our Chautaqua.
Such a hotel will cost completed a
good deal of money, but will prove
a paying investment for the town
and money in the pocket of its
manager. The hoard of trade is
working in the right direction in
insisting that all roads leading to
San Marcos be put in thorough re-
pair. They will also he directly in
line of progress in considering this
hotel question.

years where it is. Once a large family

and its mistress was a Lady Bountiful,
and its master otic whom men praised
and children clung to. But times have

how many of its rooms are vacant.

and some one must give the care.
It would be easy for this girl to de-
spond and to have started back from
responsibility and the work; to have
said, "1 cannot do it: it is sd a
woman's task.” B t so she has not
done. She has taken up the burden
-and she 'boars it cheerily from day
to day. She ovaPmUy does not think
it a burden. Her face is bright
and I hear her cu et singing as She
goes on her war ro did the house. She
directs everything, provides for every-
thing, but with a sunshine of good na-
ture. 1 hear wrfrctful word when an-
noyances press upon her—arid that is
almost every day; I hear no whisper
ot complaint, nor the semblance of an
expression ot weariness or dissatisfac-
tion. She does not seem to think that
she is doing anything out of the usual
line of things. She is not old; she is
young enough to enjoy the pleasant
things of life, and she does enjoy them.
She does not seem to feel cut off by
the multiplicity of her carei from com-
pany or amusements. Somehow she
contrives to mingle them in with the
routine of her life, and to get more out
of them than others without a tithe ©f
her occupations.
Now, there is nothing extraordinary
in all thi3. There, are ail over the land
thousands of j fist such girls. They are
found in every "city and hamlet, and
this girl is in no w.ayvsoperiorto anyone
of them. They 14a vq widowed mothers

lips and no murmur seems to to be ia

hearted women, j
Yet they are hefbjncs, more of hero-
ines, when o-ve comes to measure it all,
than if on some battlefield they helped
the wounded, or by some river risked
life to save a downing child. Battle-
fields are not f<»ul every day nor even
every year. These great occasions
come only once jn a great while, and
to the most of people never. They can
never display courage or unselfish de-
votion if these are the only fields for
them. But the ordinary days, as they
come and go, make opportunities for
almost every one to display these high
qualities. Life is made up of small
moments and small things, but great
qualities can be shown in them. The
steady pressure of Care, the everlasting
round of humdrum duties, the small
worries and frets of life, make them
In these few the mo ;t of us fail. We
do not see just, where the great oppor-
tunities open. We do not see them
great, or our opportunities at all.
But what is more noble than to meet
them courageously and cheerfully, to
take up their burden with a song and a
snufe? The cheery silence or the quiet
song sf this girl, the patience and the
steady endeavor, that make up the his-
tory of ©very day, seem in this light
heroic.
Perhaps these lines may fall under
the eye of some one more than half
weary with the cares that do not ceaso

duty whose tread is a perpetual round,
till you are tempted to grow sad and t©
feel that life has but small moaning in
it. Do not yield to the thought. There
is heroism iu your daily bearing and
doing, there is a nobility in your life
when with smiles and rippling songs
you do the work that lies just in front
of you. There are unseen eyes that

Let us see to it that such men are
selected to make our laws, and con-
trol our political system and gov-
ernment.
Party feeling should never actu-
ate one to vote for a man whose
record is not pure and honorable.
It is a sin against one’s own chil
dren, present or future, .to send an
unsound or untrue man to help
make our laws, and control our
government, In the present criti-
cal outlook, it would be well to be
doubly careful in this respect. These
are true men in the world; sound
honorable and patriotic men. Let
such be selected as our leaders, and
the outlook will be less unsettled.

MARTINDALE.
Editor Cresset:
Thinking a few dots from our
little burg might be appeciated by
the readers of your paper I jot
down the following points.
Mr. Geo. Autry, from Staple’s
Store, has been over in our county
collecting delinquent taxes.
Mr. William Crunk and son have
gone to Concho county to look
after their horse interest in that
section.
ensigned member's of priesthood who
formerly constituted the most pictur-
esque figure of Mexican street life,
have disappeared before the laws of
reform, together with the contents and
monasteries that gave them shelter.
While the Church has thus gone to de-
cay, the State is nourishing at its ex-
pense, for soldiers ai*e to be met with
everywhere, and uniforms are as com-
mon as iu tbo strongest garrisoned
towns on the Continent. Hardly to be
distinguished from the regular troops
are the city police; clothed in a sort of
undress uniform, and a little brief au-
thority, armed with a rusty old Toledo
in lieu of the regulation locust club, they
are a veritable terror to evil-doers, and,
in truth, a most formidable body of
men. To them it is due that Monterey
is to day the most quiet and orderly of
cities; indeed, more so than most towns
of its size in the United States. Then
there are the cargadores, or porters,
who. numbered and licensed like drays,
of which they are the only sub titute.
may be seen bending under the most
tremendous burdens. Provided with
only a straw pad to protect the head,
they will move piano-fortes and other
heavy articles of furniture from oho end
of the town to the other, and this with
apparent ease, and for the most trifling
compensation. Another interesting-
character is the screno, or night watche-
man, who is always going about with a
lantern, though, unlike his famous pre-
decessor, looking for a dishonest man.
In storm or calm, throughout the long
watches of the night, his shrill voice
may be heard calling oil the hours, with
the monotonous concluding formula of
‘Vy loelo es baeno" (and all is well—a
custom brought down through force of
tradition from the old Moorish times in
Spain, when every city was an armed
fortress, and its inhabitants lived in
constant dread of being surprised by
the turbaned mosleml—Frank R.
