WEDNESDAY. APRIL 8. 1S03.
The oil strike near Gonzalez is
& taking effect. Land which would
probably have brought not more
then $20 an acre a month ago has
been sold lately at $200.
a The San Antonio Fair Asso-
tion has determined to have the
usual racing events at the fair
despite the new law prohibiting
betting on race?. There will prob-
ably be less enthusiasm than usual
overt the races but true lovers of
Ho'rle.flesh cannot but feel the same
thrill in witnessing a contest of
speed between fine horses whether
ihey have anything at stake or not.
H will tend to make the race-track
more -respectable in any event.
It is said that Cuba will have the
-jrreckkof the Maine raised ai her
wn expense to clear Havana
harbor of the obstruction. Should
" it be done it is thought that the
mystery- of the explosion which
destroyed the warship and which
probably decided tbe fate of Cuba
may be partially explained. It
Bas always been believed by Amer-
ican naval men that it was caused
tty the explosion of a mine or tor-
pedo underneath the vessel while
the Spanish are of the opinion that
ft was destroyed by an internal ex-
plosion of her own magazines per-
haps caused by spontaneous com-
bustion. If it be shown to have
Seen an external explosion it will
probably never be known by whom
She diabolical plot was laid and
iow it was executed.
Susan B. Axthoxy accuses the
South of being slow and non-progressive
which conclusion she
arrives at on account of the com-
jaratively small following of the
R-oman's suffrage cause in this
section. It may be lack of progress
5n Miss Anthony's eyes but the
the Southern people regard the gen-
eral indifference of the women of
tJie South to the cause as a result
cf contentment on their part with
lhe existingorder as it affects them.
Women are perhaps more highly
honored in the South more warmly
cherished by the men and more
protected from contact with the
world than in those other parts of
the world where the woman suf-
iragisl rubs elbows with the woman
"whose highest aim appears to be
to take care of her poDilIe dog. Love
ol home and home ties are still the
strongest sentiments in the South
and we are content to have it so.
3Iay Heaven protect us from
progress if it means that our women
shall feel constrained to clamor for
the ballot and the political
privileges ? which arc still mo
nopolized by the men in nearly all
f the states of the Union. Perhaps
some things in that line might be
tetter done should the fair sex
undertake them but thtlossin
other rfspects which the country
might suffer through such a change
nonld probably far outbalance the
tain.
