TUESDAY OCTOBER 13 1891.
The model in the “Clemenceau
Ca*e”was not dressed for northersbut
she came in on time.
Governor Hill as an unmarried
man had nothin# to say on the recent
Cleveland episode.
Uvalde Fair is on and it is a good
one and a decided credit to that
county. San Antonio is paying its
fair debts this season.
Those who think that Blaine is ab-
senting himself from Washington
until after the ejections for reasons
connected with the presidential
nomination do not know the “man
from Maine.”
Foster’s cold wave and storm pi*-
dictions for this week do not seem to
be verified. Texas is not suffering
from any excess of atmosphere dis-
turbance.
The man wtio puis Ocala platfoim
first and democratic pl ’ttoim after-
ward will walk a plank when the
parting of the political ways is
reached.
The purgation of the democratic
party will bring to view a vast deal
of ancient crow. That party is con-
tinually discarding what it accepted
as unadulterated political grub in the
dead past.
Silver tongued Dick Hubbard is
again in Texas having faithfully and
acceptably performed his mission as
the linguistic exponent of the vast
resources of the Lone Star state.
President Harrison aids the at-
tempt to break up the New York
Tammany ring $5OO dollars wcrth. It
is au evidence of his good will if io
more.
The owner ot Nelson is busy ix
plaining how Allerton came to do it
“just wunst;” but Allertonis ready to
do it again.
When Texas plauts enough pork to
supplant cotton as the king crop of
Texas it will be a better day for
farmers in the Lone Star State.
The alliance like other martyrs and
reformers is more cruelly persecuted
in the house of its friends than else-
where. When it is finally crucified
it will be by its reputed friends and
will hang between theOcalo and Free
trade thieves a spectacle for dais
legislators in days to come.
Parnell is buried and the animos-
ities that embittered his last hours and
which have given such deep pain to
all true friends of Ireland should be
buried wltn him.
Governor Boies is banking on 90
per cent of the Get man vote of the
state. Boies cannot drink beer
enough to float him into governorship
again if he swallows a barrel a day.
MOVEMENT IS NEEDED.
That the south is m the industrial
current and that this current
broadens deepens and grows more
rapid from week to week is very ap-
parent to every one who devotes
even casual attention to the growth
of southern industries. Every week
shows an aggregate of a million in-
vested in manufacturing enterprises
in a region that thirty years ago was
practically outside the pale of manu-
facturing possibilities. The rapid
development of such industries as
have created the wealth of Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio in the states of Vir-
ginia Tennessee Alabama Georgia
and other southern states has taken
the north by surprise. This develop-
ment has naturally directed atten-
tion to the inexhaustible resources of
the south her vast ore beds and their
superior quality the cheapness with
which creative industries can be car-
ried on the ready market formal!
such manufactured goods and the
ease with which she can com-
pete with all the older manufacturing
districts in feeding the metal markets
of the world. It is inevitable destiny
that the states and the sections of
states as well which lead in this race
for industrial organization will out-
strip those who lag behind in the cen-
tering of population capital trade
and wealth within iheir borders. It
is not the more distant north and
the still more remote New England
that Texas has to fear in planting
manufacturing enterprises and so
providing a market for her raw ma-
terial profitable employment for uon-
agrlcultural labor and a home market
for agricultural products. It is the
nearer and more dangerous competi-
tion of southern states where the ad-
vantages are more nearly ballanced
and where a good lead in the race
counts for much in the final
outcome of the contest. Other
states not entitled to lead Texas
either by virtue of commercial post
tion or natural facilities for manufac-
turing are leaving us behind and it
is not to our credit or to our ad vantage
that this is so. Other sections ot the
state too no more favorably placed
if as favorably as are we at the head
of this beautiful valley in the very
center and seat of what should be a
manufacturing and commercial em-
pire are leading us in the march for
industrial place. Already have we
as* a city lost millions in the way of
investment that would have been
placed in manufacturing plants in
fids city had we been as alive to the
needs of the hour and as ready to em-
brace opportunity as we soould have
been. The greatest steel ore fields of
this continent have been asking our
aid in opening to them an outlet to
the carylng trade of the slate and
asking for years in vain. The invita-
tion which we c have disregard-
ed has been heeded elsewhere
and now what might have
beeu exclusively our own becomes to
us at the best but a divided empire
and our share in this divisional terri-
tory is not as yet assured. Cotton
wool and paper manufactures have in
turn solicited our aid all have been
coquetted with but with none of
them have we made common cause.
This thing cannot exist for long. The
attention of the whole nation is being
directed towards Texas as it never
was before. This winter and next
season more prospectors will turn
over the probabilities of successful
ventures iu Texas manufactories than
were ever dreamed of a few years ago.
The community that has made a be-
ginning will find capital always
ready to second its efforts. Manufac-
tures are sociable institutions. Where
one is established more are ready to
tike root. One successful brewery
here made two others possible and
all enlarging their plant and growing
more and more profitable. It will be
the same with all other manufactures.
Now is the time for San Antonio to
move and to move energetically. To
move for Llano and manufactures.
“It is easier for a rich man to go
through the eye of a needle tbau it is
for the Ohio Campbell to be defeated
by the McKinley bill” says the
Houston Post. The Post Is not cor-
rect in its scripture quotation. It is
easier for a rich man to go through
the eye of a needle than for Ohio to
swallow a Campbell.
Grand Rapids’ ministers met to
denounce the opening of the World’s
fair on Sunday and got a slap in the
face from one of their own crowd who
openly advocated the freedom of all
museums art galleries aud libraiies
on Bunday. That man may have east
pearls before swine but they weie
pearls none the less.
Frances has a very pretty baby
no doubt the very image of its paw
but it will never be mistress of the
White House until it changes its
name.
New Orleans tailed in the final
outcome oCthe Mafia cases to fasten
any connection with Hennessey’s
death upon O’Malley.
The democracy have not performed
the anaconda act in lowa nearly as ef-
fectually as their friends in Texas
imagine. Boies will know better than
to monkey with the Wheeler buzzsaw
after November.
Those who fondly imagine that
Baby McKee is not in it now had
better take a trip to the White Houte
this winter and see. Baby McKee
holds the fort and is likely to for five
years to come.
Texas is in it. The railways find
that it will pay as well to make cheap
excursion rates to the Lone Star state
as to California aud Florida and
thousands of tickets are being Fold
for this tall and winter. Texas will
bi the objective point for more in-
vestors and home seekers during tbe
next two years than she has been in
the past ten.
The republican and democratic
journals with non-political impartial-
ity are advising Grover how to be-
have in that new sphere of life into
which it has pleased providence and
Frances to call him. The journals
are officious even if kindly so. This
is a matter in which outsiders should
not intermeddle.
The Dallas Times-Herald heard
McKinley’s squall over the castiga-
tion Campbell gave him clear across
half a continent; but it safe to bet
dollars to dimes that the Herald will
be deaf to Campbell’s groan in
November when McKinley drives
him out of the state house. Queer
ears that Dallas Herald has anyway.
Maine is one of the oldest prohibi-
tion states in the Union and yet Con-
gressman Milliken ot that anti-
whiskey state is such a soaker the
prohibitionists being authority that
his constituents demand a total absti-
nence pledge as a condition of his re-
turn to congress. By their fruits ye
shall know them.
The campaign is red hot in Ohio
and Campbell does not relish the
way his business record is handled
by some republican newspaper men
and he sues for damages. Campbell
cannot sue his way into a reelection
and the damages he will sustain at
the polls will lay over every thing
he will sustain at the hands of the
press.
Inspector Byrne relented at the
eleventh hour and Lena Dohbert
married by proxy iu New York lias
gone on to Milwaukee as the wife of
Carl Van Hoff instead of going back
to Europe as a pauper.
Premature not over ripe but
born out of due time was that report
of the Galveston News of San An-
tonio German Day. The Island City
knew that it must commence days
ahead to come up to the San Antonio
procession.
