MONDAY DE EMREH 7 1891
“What I know about Japan” will
never boost silver tongued Dick Hub-
bard into the governorship of Texas.
Texas will be represented in the
World’s fair forestry exhibit by the
pecin tree. A worthy representative
of a worthy constituency.
It is not capital so much as it is
manufacturing instinct that Texas
needs. It takes a people s nue little
time to get out of a purely agricul-
tural groove into a mechanical one.
It cost Paris Figaro $5OO to open a
subscription for the fine imposed on
Archbishop of Aix It was probably
worth that amount an advertise-
ment not to reckon the fun of the
thing.
. Bob Burdette becomes; a salaried
writer on the editorial staff of the
Ladies Home Journal afrer January
Ist 1891. Bob always was at home
with the ladies from the days when
be made the Burlington Hawkei e
the most famou“ journal In Texas.
The democracy are interpret ng
Blaine's silence to mean consent to
the presidential candidacy just as
the man who kissed tbedumb woman
interpreted her silence to mean con
sent to bis matrimonial propositions
He found bis mistake when she
snatched him bald headed.
The alliance men in Texas not the
politlcaLsub-treisury-boy-oottlog - al-
llance-tor-offlce crowd but the real
alliance the organisation of farnurs
for industrial benefit—this alliance
ha» a rocky road to travel In Texas
when it moves and a hard row to hoe
when it works. All the same it l» in
tbe right highway and will stick to
the legitimate track. In tbe end this
course will win
Diptheria is becoming alarming-
ly prevalent in many of the northern
cities and Is by no m «ans unknown
in New Orleans and other southern
localities. This dieetse only less
violent than small-pox and cholera
thrives on imperfect ventilation
filthy tenements damp yards and
moist dwellings. The conclusion is
evident. Kr-ep dean in person pre
mlees and quarters; ventilate
thorougly and expel all dampness
from the living and sleeping rooms
and avoid actual coatict with the
disease as far as practicable.
There is no such thing as plenty
of money without plenty cf that for
which money Is paid. Money is but
a medium of exchange and that
which is represented by money must
be for’hcoming or there can be qo ex
change. Business legitimate busi-
ness consists In the exchange of that
which actually is and which actually
is the property of tun seller. Specu-
lation consists in the exchange of what
is supposed to be but which really is
not the property of the seller. Mul-
tiply all that a people has to sell and
the money is multiplied. Scar-
city of money means practically
scarcity of salable products or
which is the same thing scarcity ot
market. The evident wisdom is to
watch the market and prepare to sell
that which is tu demaud. Glutting
the market as is the case in ail over-
production destroys demand and is
equivalent to non production. To
create and to sell to pioduce and to
dispose of that which is produced is
-the end of all business enterprlz9. In-
flating currency does not and cannot
make money easy. It cheapens
money and renders its purchasing
power less. You have more of it but
cannot buy more with it. Production
is the secret production of that for
which there is a demand
The Danas Times Herald grown
tired of the atrabilarious mouthiugs
of the Galveston Tribune replies to
some impertinent queries of the Tri
butieas follow-:
“The limes Herald has no* 11 con-
st ierable property” in Velasco; but
-uppo-eit had? Has not the Times-
Herald er any otter paper embraced
atnoiig tho-e whicn have incu red the
Tribune’s displeasure as much right to
own p operty in Veia.-co mb the Trib-
une has to own real estate or a print-
ing press in Galveston? tSucb insinu
■itiotiß do not make the water any
-Teeper at Galvestou or more shallow
a 1 Velasco. Echos of deep water at
Velasco in the Texas press are as ter
rible nightmares to the Tribune.”
The Tribune has undertaken a
mighty big contract in endeavoring
to regulate the expressions of Texas
journals on the deep water question
The Tribune is too much balloon and
too little ballast to carry canvas for
such a voyage. Could it ever be
taught a knowledge of its own limita-
tions it would be a more liberal edu-
cation than it has yet acquired.
An intelligent French priest who
has epent twelve years on Chinese
mission stations discredits the re
ports of Chinese massages and rebe'-
llou as published. He says that
t >wns reported captured and sacked
are defended by large bodies of gov
eminent troops armed with the latest
Improved rifles and that they cannot
hive fallen into the hands of the
rebels as reported without resist-
ance. This view is confirmed by late
Pekiu dispatches which state that
।he facts have been greatly exagger-
ated and that the uprising is a local
ailiirof no national Importance.
Eugene Wake derlnei a Kansas
hell as six years of Piefl’er. Accord-
ing to the Topeka Capi tai he puts it
thusly:
“When I was young we called it
“hell” and mentioned it with
fears;
Then changed the name to “hades”
then “sheol;” now in tears
We’ve got anol her newer name. It’s
“Peffer-for six-years.”
The war cloud that threatened
Europe seams to have rolled by for
the present. The cry for bread grows
too loud to be drowned by any
clamors for war and the rulers ate
too busy providing bread for their
starving millions to pay attention to
the commissariat of an army in the
fl-Id. For the present Europe is
etatved Intopeacs.
The democratic papers outside of
New York state are calling attention
to the fact the Empire State cannot
afford to go into the national conven-
tion with a divided delegation. It is
• ground bog case in 1892 with the
democracy. They must win New
York or perish in the attempt for
they will perish politically it they do
not win it.
Depew emphasizes the assurances
of harmonious 'eeling and perfect uu
derstanding between President Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine and says
that there will he but one name before
the convention. Of this fact all post-
ed republicans have long felt as-
sured. ________
Cotton and stock raising will first
give way to diversified farming and
then manufacturing will follow. Th ■
s:ate has the raw product end the
natural market t > make her tbe first
manufacturing state in the union.
And the lottery iles called for a type
writer and he wrote saying—"H s
name la Samuel Douglas McEnery tl o
next governor of Louisiana.
The credulity of tbe democracy la
illustrated by the fact that notwith-
standing the McKinley bill saves this
country nearly $75000000 annually it
is believed by the democracy to be
an unequal and extortionate meas-
ure taking money out of the people’s
pockets.
So long us the supposed correspond-
ents of the Kansas City Sunday Sun
are tarred and feathered so long will
that paper enjoy and receive a patron-
age entirely independent of its mer-
its. Persecution only means adver-
tising in a case of this kind and
public sympathy always goes with
the victim of outrage.
The democrats are in the ascendant
in New York and whatever republi-
can legislative seat they make up
their minds to steal will be seques-
tered. The man who stole a meeting-
house was a child at appropriation
compared with that Tammany crowd.
The Sichems rule the Empire state
and will permit no rival near the bal-
lot box.
The English royal family are in-
teresting themselves in the matter of
British exhibit f>r the World’s fair.
Her royal highness Helena Augusta
Victoriathird daughter of the Queen
accepts the presidency of the English
Ladies’committee on woman’s woik
for the Chicago fair. Where royalty
leads nobility will follow and that
woman’s exhibit will be a magnifies nt
one.
It is confidently expected that De
Giers’ visits to the governments of
Germany and France will' have a
marked effect in disabusing the minds
of those governments of whatever im-
pressions they may have erroneously
had of Russia’s hostility to a pro-
longed peace. It is thought that on< e
the cobwebs are blown out of the
royal and presidential brains the war
clouds themselves will be dissipated
“Tales From Town Topics” No. 2
has made Its appearance with all the
airy self-satisfaction that distin-
eui-hed the birth of the first volume.
Possibly a real nice young lady should
not read the book. Rsal nice young
ladies should not read de Maupas-
sant Gautier Byron or Swinburne
and perhaps the publisheus of “Tales
From Town Topics” have given as
little thought to the sensitiveness of
real nice j’oung ladies as the writers
named did when they went into liter-
ature so boldly. The stories poems
and witticisms contained In tbe vol-
ume are evidently selected with much
discrimination from the files of the
well-known society journal. Tbe
volume issues from tbe press of the
publisher 21 West 23d street New
