SATURDAY DECEMBER 5 1891.
The California wine crop will be at
least one third lees than last yearbut
San Antonio beer will sell for the reg-
■ latlon price.
It was a wise provision of dates
that arranged to have thanksgiving
precede the extra session of the next
legislature.
Waco News suggests that Macune
and McDowell be used as footballs by
Yale and Princeton. What have Yale
and Princeton done to be Insulted in
this style
The two ull.uuces are an accom-
plieued tact. One is an organization
for industrial benefit and the other
for political profit. Industry will
down rutabaga politics mrery time.
The coffse growers of Mexico can
find encouragement in the present
distracted state of Brazil. It is an
ill wind that does not blow favorably
for somebody.
The Keeley cure of the New York
doctor is noway related to the Keeley
motor. The cure goes for money the
motor does not go for any considera-
tion.
The Belleville Standard damns
Hayes for what it calle a foul occu-
pancy of the white house. The
Standard flings its colors to the breeze
a long way in the rear of the proces-
sion that is inarching today. Damn
David Davis and not Hayes for 1877.
The Democratic State committee of
New York have memoralized Hili to
serve out his full gubernatorial term.
Hill intended to do so anyway buj
the request was not untimely it
helped save appearances.
The more sensible of the democrat-
ic papers realize the inipotency of all
efforts to draw’ Mr. Blaine into any
avowal of presidential intentions and
c include that he and the President
ti derstand each other. It is a wise
conclusion and might be profitably
followed by some anti-administration
republican papers.
The strong indications discovered
by the Fort Worth Gazette that the
B aine and Cleveland campaign of
1884 is to be fought over again will
prove a mighty weak reliance. It is
the Cleveland and Harrison cam-
paign that is to be fought over again
and that means in 1892 as in 1888 a
republican victory.
In the Kendrick jubilee at St.
Louie while all honor is being done
to the venerable archbishop it is not
forgotten that he would have been
cardinal long since had not his im-
mortal letter against the declaration
of infallibility marked him as too in-
dependent to be elevated to that dig-
nity. It was a sublime act ot con-
scious self renunciation in a spirit of
true loyalty to mother church.

The Galveston Tribune is rabid
and as it makes its round snarling
snapping and frothing it bites at eve-
rything within reach friend and foe
alike. Such a journal is fit only for a
general football. Every one gives it a
kick.
City of Mexico press is making a
raid upon the exorbitant bakers of
that city and a clean 208 per cent
profit is figured out against them.
This in the face of the prevailing
scarcity of breadstuffs calls fora little
regulation.
The Chicago Haymarket affair was
the death of anarchism in Chicago.
Since that wholesale hanging the red
rag crowd have neither heart nor
head for bomb throwing. It was a
severe remedy but a necessary one
and it has no doubt saved many
Ilves.
New York and Indiana are put
down as the great battle ground of par-
ties in 1892. Yes. and the republicans
can lose both and still win the elec-
tion despite the solid south while
the loss of New York is sure death to
the democracy and Indiana aimost
as necessary.
Corpus Caller mourns unnecessarily
over the burning of a San Antonio
brewery. Our beer factories are all
in good order and turning out the best
amber in Texas or the south. It was
a depot of St. Louis beer that was
burned out. San Antonio breweries
were not born to such hard luck.
The democratic journals are appar-
ently disgruntled because the repub-
lican national committee was not re-
organized antagonistically to repub-
lican interests. The democrats are
rather exacting in this matter just
now but they will be less so after
they are pancaked in 1892.
Flower swears that hfs election
only cost him $5000 but he does not
say what was done with his first
check for $50000 drawn for campaign
purposes. Thecountrj believes Flow-
er but it believes that he is a mighty
forgetful naan when it comes to foot-
ing up his election expenses.
The Dallas Times HFRALDgrows
hot in the collar because tne Light
denies that lowa has gone over to the
democracy and charges that the
Light is a force-bill organ. The
Herald is forced into a very tight
place when it lias to raise the cry of
mad dog against a political opponent.
The Herald can get a dollar a line for
every quotation from the Light that
it will reproduce favoring the force-
bill.
It must be a relief to her gracious
majesty Victoria Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland and Empress of
India to know that none ol her royal
sons or grandsons are involved in this
Russell divorce scandal. It seems as
though there must be a little mistake
about it. A scandal in the circles of
the English nobility and no royal
finger figuring In it seems unnatural.
The Ohio courts are after Brice’s
faxes and suits for the recovery of
nearly sixty thousand in back taxes
and penalties have been brought
against him. Brice refuses payment
on the ground that he is not a resi-
dent ot the state. This suit may have
some bearing on his senatorial seat
betore it is finished.
The democratic journals of Texas
do well to stand solidly for linger Q.
Mills. He has attracted more atten-
tion in the national congress than
any man who has represented Texas
there for the past twenty years. Free
trade bourbon as he is the republi-
cans of the country recognize his
claims upon hie party and he has
their best wishes in this contest.
The foot bail furor seems to indi-
cate that the national game is‘going
to have a f irmidable rival. The inter-
collegiate matches of this fall have
been most stubbornly contested and
they have awakened an enthusiasm
seldom accorded a base ball field.
England may find in Yale a foeman
worthy of her best kick when she
meets the American champions on
the field. The foot ball game has
this advantage over base ball—the
kickingis done with the feet and not
with the mouth.
The president’s message will be
occupying the attention of congress
and the country next week. It is
certain that it will not recommend
any monkeying with the silver ques-
tion and w’ill congratulate thecountry
on the effects on the McKinley bill.
It will be a business document com-
mending itself to the favorable con-
sideration of business men but will
be everlastingly censured by the
democracy as a partisan document.
The King bee of the “mound build
ers” hives has been exhutued ar Chil
lloothe Ohio. The (.’blllic >the
mounds have always excited great
interest among archaeologists aid
explorations have unearthed much
that throws light upon the domestic
concerns and warlike weapons of that
mysterious people the mound build-
ers. A recent find in a mound on the
Hopewell farm is the most important
yet brought to the light. The excava-
tors unearthed at a depth ot fourteen
feet from the crest of the mound a
skeleton eucased in complete copper
armor. The skeleton was massive the
mouth filled with genuine pearls large-
ly decayed while a necklace of bear’s
t eth studded with pearls encircled
the neck. A smaller skeleton that of
a female was found by his side. It
Is estimated that the skeletons have
been in the ground for at least 600
years • The excavators think that
they have found the king of the
mound builders as no other skeleton
found so far bears any proportion to
this in the richness ot his burial sur-
roundings.
The Princess of Wales paid $250 for
a tabby cat. And yet there is not a
San Antonio Thomas or Mariar that
cannot give that tabby points iu an
area concert on a mo unless night.
If Mills is defeated for speaker it
will be simply because his party is
afraid to go before the country in 1892
on a Mills platform. There is a world
of significance in this tight against
the stalwart Texan and it proves
how fearful the democracy are of
fi/hting the battle of 1892 on the old
lines of defeat laid down by Mills In
1888.
Two Republics maintains thst
there is corn enough and beans
enough in Mexico to feed the people
and that the high prices of these ar-
ticles is owing to speculation and not
scarcity. If this is so then very er-
roneous opinions are entertained con-
cirning the food supplies of thatcoun*
try and the telegraphic dispatches
sent out need supervising.
The Aransas Pass deep water com
pany have called a meeting of the
friends of deep water at the Pass to
consider matters connected with the
removal of that bar. Had work been
pushed on bar removal Haring the
past two years as vigorously as real
estate speculation has been there
would be no bar now and real estate
would sell itself anywhere within
twenty miles of the pass without ef«
fort.
France does not propose to throw
open her doors to foreign artisans arid
a tax is proposed upon all foreigners
who come into the country plying
their trade. This tax assumes the
form of a license which each foreign
artisan must receive before he can go
to workand it is made an offense pun-
ishable by fine to hire such artisans
unless they show their license. This
is practical protection. It is a pro
tection of the native workman against
his foreign brother.
Mills says he is confident of a favor-
able result to his efforts for the
speakership.
