JNO. L. WARD,
Whether the Lone Star line returns at
once or at all, it maybe set down as a con-
dition, to be reckoned with that Galveston
is too important a city and her trade is
growing too lusty for one line to coddle it
much longer. There is going to be a first
class wrestling match in these parts be-
fore long and there will be no gate re-
■ ceipts and no injunction to stop the show.
Every dollar put into the beach hotel-
park-auditorium project will be returned
to the community the first year?-
We are willing to take in or let go the
Philippines if we can get Galveston to
expand.
An average of 500 visitors from May to
October is not tco much to expect with the
triangulated beach hotel-park-auditorium
constructed and operated in first class
style, and that would mean over a thou-
sand dollars a day to the local trade.
With commendable patience Judge Bry-
ant is doing his best for the creditors of
the La Porte railroad, but we are getting
mighty anxious down here to see the
cover taken off the basket.

plete report of the cotton market in each

ing morning in ample time for operations

FIRST BANKRUPTCY CASE.
The first bankruptcy case since the new
law went' into effect on July 1 was filed
with the clerk of the federal court today.
It is numbered 636 in. bankruptcy and is
the petition of Louis Schlessinger of Hous-
ton to' be declared a bankrupt, as he
swears that “he owes debts, on. open ac-
counts, notes, judgments, etc., to the
amount of $14,072.76, and has no property,
real/personal or mixed and no choses or
rights in action, money or property of any
kind whatsoever.” In the list of debts he
owes are mentioned the names of two Gal-
veston firms, as follows: Miller Bros.,
Blessings often come in disguise. If for
the old Beach hotel Galveston shall have
a new hotel, an auditorium and a park,
the “boot” will prove more valuable than,
the nag in the swap.

DEMOCRATIC LABOR PLANK.
To The Tribune.
So Mr." John Lovejoy thinks the plat-
form. of the late Democratic convention,
perfect. While it does contain some fine
points, it is somewhat hard to understand
how any platform that has in it the 15th
plank can be termed perfect, unless that
.portion is regarded as mere humbug, and,
therefore, perfect when viewed from that
standpoint.
The typographical unions of Texas, sup-
ported by the great body of organized
workers of the state, presented to the
Democratic convention for its considera-
tion a plank to which they felt they were
entitled, the adoption and carrying out of
which they honestly believed would di-
rectly and indirectly benefit all the people
of the state, rich and poor alike. They
believe that it is to the best interest of all
the people (where possible) to have all
state work of whatever nature performed
within the limits of the state by Texas
capital and by Texas workmen, to the end
that home institutions may be built up
and home labor encouraged; they believe
that it is to the best interest of all the
people that home industries should be pat-
ronized, including the labor necessary to
carry on such industries, thereby keeping
at home money otherwise sent away;
they believe it to be to the best interest
of all the people that all work, public
and private, should bear the union label,
as it carries with it a guarantee of good
workmanship and fair pay; they are op-
posed to that narrow and selfish policy
that values a thing solely for its cheap-
ness and traffics in the necessity and
helplessness of the wage-earner like any
other Shylock or sweat-shop proprietor.
The organized workers of Texas have
long followed the banners of Democracy
to victory and defeat, and can but feel
this rebuff keenly. They asked for a fish
and were given a serpent; for a loaf and
received a bit of buncombe. The plank
as adopted means nothing and is an insult
to: the intelligence of the men whose votes
it is intended to catch as well as those
who offered it. Any business man who
would persistently send his work out of
the community in which he does business
solely on the ground of cheapness is a
traitor to himself and to his best interest;
and, any state that will pursue the same
course is a traitor to her citizens and
their best interests, and the Democratic
party in pursuing the policy it has and
does in those matters is guilty of treach-
ery to all classes.
The clause has been termed a “glitter-
ing generality,” but it is difficult to un-
derstand how anything so rotten and
putrid in its hypocrisy can glisten, unless
it be its brazen effrontery. It is not
enough that the Democracy of this state
should always by its policy bear down to
the utmost against the wage-earners, but
when recogniton is asked, that it should
arrogantly proclaim itself their stanch
and consistent friend, and in the same
sentence declare, in substance, in favor of
bringing her labor to the level of the
cheap scab shops of the north and east,
where the low cost of living renders com-
petition impossible, is adding insult to
injury. This stanch and consistent friend
of-labor has done well. This question of
questions—that of labor—the most burn-
ing. the m6st urgent, the one tha.t cries to
heaven for solution—has been solved in
one little empty whereas. The statesmen
and patriots of the past, who have wres-
tled with this problem, who have grown
old and gray in their efforts to untangle
it, would probably be somewhat ashamed
of the many weary hours and days and
years they have given to it, could they
only know how easily It was at last solved
—simply to adopt a whereas with a whoop.

’Hood’S Pills SK,
The railroads at Austin are making the
usual poor mouth plea against the pro-
posed reduction in cotton rates. The in-
creased railroad earnings of the last two
years seem to have had*no effect on Texas
lines. Yet they have hauled more stuff
into and out of Galveston than ever be-
fore, and the big crops this year assure
still greater business. Some concession,/',
is certainly due to the increased traffic,
because it can not be that it costs twice
as much to haul two carloads as one.
A regiment of United States engineers
has sailed for Porto Rico, through all
other military reinforcements have been
stopped.
This suggests a vastly important work
in store for both Porto Rico and Cuba,
and the engineers, it seems, are to begin
at once the great undertaking of making
highways, draining cities, cleaning out
harbors and improving the sanitation in
the West Indies. Just how far the gov-
ernment will go in this matter remains
to be seen, but it is not to be doubted
that the new possessions will be put in a
thorough state of utility and health.
The latter particular is of especial im-
portance to the southern states. It means
that the opportunity is now at hand for
cutting off the source of yellow fever in-
fection. With Cuba and Porto Rico put
in a state of thorough sanitation their
harbors may be kept open the year round
and the enormous expense of quarantine
at southern ports will be. reduced to the
minimum. The five days detention of in-
coming ships will be no longer necessary
and the blight of yellow fever scares will
be forever removed from southern com-
merce. As The Tribune has often re-
marked, this alone is worth all the cost of
the war.
Incidentally, the work of road building,
harbor improvement and sanitation will
afford an immense amount of employ-
ment to American engineers, contractors
and laborers, and a corresponding trade
to material dealers. It is none too early
for these occupations and departments of
business to get their lines out.

The proposition for a park and audi-
torium out at the beach, discussed some-
what in yesterday’s Tribune, has excited
wide interest in the city, and the retail
men are awakening to the. importance of
prompt and decisive action in the matter
of providing suitable entertainment for
visitors. The plan suggesting a pretty
park and public garden along the beach
front is taking root and on all sides is
being commended as a public necessity.
Inasmuch as the proposed park is to be
open to the general public, it has been
suggested that the city purchase the now
unimproved water front and convert it
into such a place of amusement as has
been suggested. Every person who has
been interviewed on the subject agrees
upon the great urgent need for action.
This morning several prominent retail
men were asked for their views.
Mr. E. D. Garratt said he was observ-
ing the developments with grfeat interest,
and he remarked that the matter is one
of vital importance. ‘"The old hotel never
did meet the demand,” he said. “What is
needed is a place of amusement with
grounds and attractions, where all the
citizens of Galveston and the strangers
who come here in great numbers can go
and be amused, and - at • slight expense.
The beach hotel was too expensive for the
crowd. A hotel that could accommo-
date all sorts of people—those who had
plenty of money to .sppnd and those who
have little—that is what the situation de-
mands. The suggestion about cottages
for families as adjuncts to the hotel is
also a good one.” .Mi'. Garfatt hoped the
project would be pushed to a speeuy real-
ization of thp plans proposed."
Mr. M. C. Michael was ijasked for an
expression. He'felt, as do all of us, that
the old scheme was a failure and that a
new arrangement must be made to meet
new conditions.. “There is po doubt,” he
said, “that the plan for a public park
and an auditorium—besides a hotel build-
ing-will exactly fill the -bill. -There is no
necessity for si*ch.an expensive and elab-
orate hotel building. Auxiliary cottages
can provide accommodations more agree-
able to private families and also cheaper
and draw people to this city in sufficient
numbers to make their coming a real
benefaction to the town and its people. It
is of the utmos,t importance that amuse-
ments and accommodadohs be offered
them at very rhodeftCtb pfit'es. I’ll tell
you how that hotel fund could be raised
in a jiffy—get up that ‘endless chain,” that
is everybody put in 10 cents and get sev-
eral others to put in 10 cents. It is wonder-
ful what great sums of money can be col-
lected by this device.” Mr. Michael leaves
tonight for New York.

TEDDY’S BAD BREAK.
Dallas Times-Herald.
Col. Roosevelt has challenged th'e ad-
miration of the country for himself and
the rough riders by their gallant conduct
at Santiago, but it is to be regretted that
he makes the invidious comparison of his
men being “three times as good as any
state troops in Porto Rico.” These bick-
erings are out of place just now, and
whether there be cause for his complaint
or not, they are unnecessary and calcu-
lated to harm rather than promote the
general good.

■ The Dor.ison Herald hits the nail on the
head in the following paragraph: “The
statesmen, when they assemble at A-Ustin
this winter, can do a wonderful lot of
good for Texas by giving the people of the
state a chance to change the constitution
for the benefit of the state and its future
prosperity. There are some changes that
all admit should be made and it will put
the state on a solid basis, which will in-
sure rapid development of her great re-
sources in the very near future.”

there is any force in the contention that
possession is nine points of the law Mr.
Hawley has the best of it to start with,
but the Tenth district is naturally Demo-
cratic and Judge Robson is a very effect-

In the afternoon the regimental flag ar-
rived. For some time it has been expect-
ed. Before the regiment left Galveston, a
generous citizen of that city, Mr. E. E.
Ephraim, donated $100 for it. It was or-
dered from a Philadelphia firm. Because
of the wet weather, it was not unfurled.
It is very handsome, being of dark blue,
with an American eagle in the center.
Above this emblem are grouped 13 stars,
beneath it is the name of the regiment.
The flag is six feet long and four feet
wide, and is made of silk.

HE SUCCEEDED.
Baird Star.
A writer criticising Gen. Shafter says no
general ckn inspire enthusiasm by leading
a charge In an ambulance. A general
weighing 350 pounds charging the enemy
in> an ambulance might not look heroic,
but it ought to be irresistible. Success
counts for more than heroic—and Gen.
Shafter succeeded.
PHILOSOPHY OF SCANDAL.
El Easo Times.
Remember that the man who tells you
that your neighbor is a grand rascal is
•the same fellow who assures your neigh-
bor that you are a contemptible scoundrel.
You never hear the real gentleman abus-
ing his neighbors when they are absent.

Mr. S. P. Mistrot: “No hotel is likely to
be a success out at the beB-'ch operated
as was the old one. In the first place, it
was not the thing to‘fill thteefieeds of the
situation. There was too; much money-
locked up in it and the prices were neces-
sarily too high for .the crowd. I believe
that if the citizens will provide a big
pavilion and grounds out there along the
water front the hotel part will take care
of itself. It would., seem that small ho-
tels, cottages and. boarding houses out
there could be more 'successfully oper-
ated than a great 6ig structure, and be-
sides it would divide the business and
profits between1 more local families. What
most concerns Galvestonians generally
and business men more particularly is
that attractions.be provided and provided
cheap. Comparatively few people in the
state can come to Galveston, for an- out-
ing and bring-their-families where they
have to pay from $3 to $5;a day for ac-
commodations.; Th,ere. arq.aj number of lit-
tle hotels along the Texas coast that are
crowded all summer every summer and
they make money, too, although their
prices vary from $8 to $12 a.week, gener-
ally about $10< They-charge a reasonable
price and get more business. If we are
to have people corrie here, ", we must do
something to induce 'them- Retail men
and wholesale men can and will get to-
gether on this, and they can easily con-
tribute enough every year 'Ito provide ex-
cellent attractions.. .The.mcney thus spent
is well invested, for it indtices buyers to
come here, and merchants take advan-
tage of excursions as well as do other
people, and here the wholesale men have
directly their inning, although of course
whatever benefits? “retailers indirectly
blesses the wholesale business at the same
time.
“I think the-city ought to acquire that
beach front on both sides of Tremont
street and develop it for the benefit of
the citizens and so as to fill’this void. The
city could buy the property for a low price
now, and, I-think, should: do so by all
means. With a little judicious spending
of private and. public money now, we can
make Galveston,.the blessed sojourning
place of people from -a’l -ovcr Texas, and
from other -states/ loo, Tor'all time to
come. It is necessary,, however, that the
matter be pushed.” Mr. .Mistrot intimated
that his firm would consider the expendi-
ture of several hundred dollars annually,
devoted to providing suitable amusements,
as money judiciously. Invested, and he
said he knew many other merchants felt
just like he did'aKou£ that.
M. Marx: “I am in full aOcord with Mr.
Ikelheimer’s plan^for building a hotel,
auditorium and park at the-beach. They
can have $1000 from me and more if neces-
sary. That is the best evidence of my
faith in the matter.”
