KiitTiKjdKM ieem to lie going for tlie
people up niuonff the frranlto hllla of
the East.
Caniiidatfj for municipal honors urn
slow about coming to the front but there
will be a tolerably fair scramble nil the
tame when the time approaches.
Tim colored Xatlonnl committee will
hold a meeting In New Orleans on De-
cember 17 "to consider the situation of
the colored people under the Demo-
cratic party."
A new charter street Improvements
sewer Improvements and a now city hall
are what will give San Antonio n splen-
did boom In the coming year and should
be advocated early and late by all public
spirited citizens.
"The only dlllerence" say the Abi-
lene Quill "between Jones and Ireland
Is JoneB has a head of hU own and Ire-
land has some other man's" which sen-
tence lithe conclusion of an article In a
controversy regarding the late election.
"Giivr-sTON bar" soya the Corpus
Chrlstl Caller "could show only 1 1 J feet
of water to Captain Kads with tho tide
very high. This Captain Kads and sup-
porters will use at an argument against
the present government plan. A more
unfair advantage could not be taken."
Alltiik country between San Antonio
and the coast on the line of the proposed
railroad U very much alive to tho Im-
portance of the enterprise nnd every
day or to delegations arrive In the city
for the purpose of consulting with tho
officers of the line. The San Antonio
and Aransas 1'ass railroad Ii n good
scheme for San Antonio.
A niuiisTiuTiON law for cities of the
first and second class thould be passed
this winter by the State Legislature.
Galveston wants such n law San An-
tonio needi tucb a law and In fact
every city In Texas would at once see
the great benefits of such a law nt the
llrst election held after Its passage. Col-
onel Thompson who represents the
"people" or Bexar county should try
hit hand on such a measure.
Hon. William M. Evakts nnd Hon.
William D. Kelley have each sent SW to
the Alexander II. Stephens .Memorial
fund. The former says In hit letter that
lie was long agreeably acquainted with
Mr. Stephens. The latter taya he sat In
the House 30 years with Mr. Stephens
and always entertained for him the
highest regard. "He was a noble ex
ample of a statesman; in fact I never
met a man who was to pure In public
life."
" Mn.'AiiTiiun Is having an easy life of
It these aJtumn days" says the lloston
Advertlser'a Washington correspondent.
" Host dayt It It near noon before he ap
peart at the White House and by 1
o'clock he la always on the way to the
Soldiers' Home where none but ht per
sonal menus venture to iniruuo. ms
cottage tbero It a handsome two-story
wooden house with large rooms open
llres and pretty furniture. He has the
tame cooks and servants as nt the White
House and hat each day at pretty a bill
for dinner as Delmonlco could serve."
TimltoclportTranscrlpt Bays: "Now
tlnce the excitement of the election It
over those Interested In the San Anto-
nio and Arantat Past railroad will re
sume activity In that enterprise. The
nfllclal report of Captain 0. V. l'olk
Chief Engineer was not completed nt
latt account. The western survey Is de-
cidedly tho shortest etock Interests
greater and It as practicable; but the
country through which the enttcrn sur-
vey extendi promises greater Induce-
ment! In tho future as Its agricultural
capabilities nrc far superior to the west-
ern lection."
Tub Georgia l.eglslaturo recently
elected Joseph K. Drown to the United
States enale with but two dissenting
voices. Speaking of this subject tho
Waslili i ton Crltlo lays: "This Is of
more than ordinary Interest In connec-
tion ullh prlvato Information received
here from tho State of Georgia. That
Information Is to the effect that tho pco-
plo of the South nre not near at hungry
for olll.-u nt they nre generally repre-
sented to be. Tills It especially tho ease
with tho people of Georgia where It Is
raid they do not at all relish tho title or
'hungry hordes.' Hut they do want rep-
resentation In the Cabinet. And the
portfolio that they would llko to be rep-
resented by tho South Is that of the
Department of Justice. They want n
Southern man In that place becntise they
believe that they hnie for 20 years past
been persecuted under the election nnd
Internal revenue Inm. They want n
cessation or what they call the Injustice
that has been heaped upon tlie'n nnd
believe It could bo brought about by
a Southern man being mnilo Attorney
General. And Senator Joseph K. Drown
Is frequently spoken of ns being emi-
nently titled for the position."
"I'i.n successful business men says
tome modern philosopher were asked
when In their Judgment It would do to
slop ndycrtlslng and tho answers mid
advlso nrc given ns follows: "I. When
the population ceases to multiply nnd
thcgenerntlons Hint crowd on after jou
nnd never heard of you stop coming on.
2. When on have convinced everybody
whose llfo will touch yours that you
have better goods nt.d lower prices I linn
they can get anywhere outside of your
store. II. When you percelvo It lo be
the rulo that men who never advertise
are outstripping their neighbors in tho
same line of Inislnom. I. When men
stop making fortune right In jour very
tight solely through the direct uc of
(Ills mighty ngent. .1. When Jon can
forget the words of the shrewdest and
most successful business men concern-
ing the ninln cnujo of their prosperity.
0. When every innn lun become so thor-
oughly n crcnlure of habit Hint he will
certainly buy this year w litre ho bought
ast year. 7. 1 hen younger and spunk
ier and fresher concerns In your lino
cense starting up and using the news-
papers in telling tho people how much
better they can doit Ihnn you cm. p.
hen you would rather have your own
way and full than take advice nnd win.
It. When nobody elso thinks It pays to
advertise. 10 Judicious nnd persistent
advertising Is the kcjsloue or success
therefore don't stop or olheis will get
nhead or yott."
L'ummkntim! on an article In the I.hiiit
tho Corpus Chrlstl Caller says: "There
nre few towns In Texas that can a II or d
stand still. In fact they can not
stand still; tlicy must cither go forward
or retrograde. There Is no tnlddlo
ground for new towns In a new coun
try as vast as Texas. If one set of peo-
ple turn the cold shoulder to an enter
prise It finds n new Held In.n neighbor-
ing rival which has tho vim nnd push
that will certainly eclipse the sleepy
town. Corpus Chrlstl Is in very much
the samo condition as San Antonio
Those of us w ho nre not nsleep have lost
hope and are as helpless as babes. I.Ike
JUcawber wo are "waiting for some-
thing to turn up." Instead of turning
It up ourselves wo nre nursing the hope
that some lino morning wo shall awake
to find a mushroom of prosperity lifting
us to a place among cities without any
expenditure of labor brains or money
on our part. San Antonio and Corpus
Chrlstl will never realize suoh a pretty
dream. To make tho anticipation real
they must go to work with brains
muscle nnd money. These urn the mov-
ing powers of the world. They have
built cities mado harbors won bullies
and plnced a net-work of railroads
nearly over the entire globe. If you
have a railroad to build build It. If
you have a horn to blow blow It; orehut
tip your wind Instrument and ac-
knowledge you are a nonentity. There
Is no respectable middle ground. Go
forward or retrograde. "God helps
thoso who help themselves."
Burial ol a Gypsy Maiden.
The Union Drldge (Md.) Index de
scribes the burial of a Gypsy girl In a
grove of ttately plnea nenr Johntvllle
on Friday of latt week. Tho corpse
was carried to the spot selected by male
members of the tribe and the women
followed clad in bright colored dresses
nnd gay shawU. One of the men re
pealed In a deep toned voice unlntelli
glble sentences one of which sounded
like "Allah oh do Allah!" Almost
immediately the band hand In hand
began circling about the corpse after
mo insuion oi cniiuren playing
nround roses" at the tame momen
men and women beiran cLantlnc a tad
refrain which filled the surrounding
WOOdS Willi llvlnir echoes. After con.
tlnulng t lie chant awhile the corpso
iva cuvereu wnu maw is anil sur-
rounded by the women while the men
went diligently to work digging the I
grave. In the meantime the remnles
bowed their heads sorrowfully and
swayed back and forth. The body was '
ntterward carefully deposited nt the hot- I
torn of the roughly scooped out grave
on it uuuru cusiiioneu wnu ienves. Alter
each of the women had thrown some
uselul article Into the aperture prin-
cipally thlmblct and other small trlnk-
ett the men began filling up the hole
and the women and children trooped
back to the wagons apparently as happy
nt children nt their noontide recess.
