FRIDAY JULY 14 1893.
The idea of a Populist governor
in Texas is a popular delusion.
Evictions are about as unpopu-
lar in Panama as they are in Ire-
land.
That gold reserve keeps within
speaking distance of the regular
$100000000 mark.
Congressman Hayeks knows
enough to keep his mouth shut on
the silver question.
Texas is not grumbling* at the
place in the procession that the
fates have assigned her.
Austin and Nalle have a regular
Kilkenny eat fight of it. Will
they chew each other up.
The cholera reports are suffi-
ciently alarming to suggest the
bast possible preventives.
The ticket scalpers will make
up a test case to try the constitu-
tionality of the new law.
Of the ten clearing houses in
the country that show July in-
crease four are in Texas.
How does that proposition for a
German house of lords strike the
Socialists of that empire?
The reopening of the Sunday |
closing question by Wanamaker
caught a sudden collapse.
The rapid transit lines of San
Antonio have built up her suburbs.
No city has better service.
Houston’s Saturday market is
an attraction. San Antonio needs
an attraction of that kind.
The Houston Herald thinks that
the Populists will have a walk
over in this state next fall.
These are the halcyon days of
the silver crank and he airs his
views to the public disgust.
Austin gives San Antonio an I
object lesson in the way of a water
works fight. Keep it there.
A ten per cent tax on French I
theatre tickets yields over ten mil-1
lion dollars for her paupers.
Jodie Sayers knows better than
to attempt to tell what he does not!
know. He learned it lately.
Texas condoles with the Fort
Worth Gazette on the poor marks-
manship of her bank officers.
Gladstone looks forward to the
dissolution of parliament and his
from Midlothian.
The silver kings threaten to set
up a western empire of their own.
Rememeber the years 1861-5.
Knoxville Tennessee Sentinel
publishes a special edition without
specially tooting its own horn.
This is Bastile day a kind
Donnybrook fair day for France
general and Paris in particular.
David Hill is reminding the
country that he said that silver
would take precedence of tariff.
Bonham’s mayor signs the ordi-
nance against horse-trading on the
streets and is the first to break it.
Speaker Crisp is not volunteer-
ing any opinions on the silver
legisgitation expected of congress.
When the South Carolina courts
make up their mind on that state
saloon question they will tell Till-
man.
If Governor Jones of the
Choctaw nation locks horns with
the United States he will get a
tumble.
Texas has very little interest in
the dedication of that private club
house built by public contribution
and called the Texas World’s Fair
buildin g.
Governor Tillman of South
Carolina has not knocked the chip
off the shoulder of the Charleston
liquor dealers but it is expected
that it will go whirling in a few
days.
It will not be known how many
1 >st lives in that Chicago holocaust
until the sea gives up her dead
and the roll call of those who have
perished by fire is called on the
other shore.
Dallas Times Herald is try-
ing to seduce that county into a
million dollar experiment in the
way of macadamizing. Better try
it in homoepathic doses until you
get used to it.
If B ind should climb the gol-
den stairs between now and the
meeting of congress it would sim-
plify matters wonderfully for Crisp
but Bland is too loyal a silveriteto
take that route.
Hill is handicapped by his New
York constituency or he would
dearly love to make a point against
Cleveland on this silver question
but he will not do so at the risk of
political suicide.
That bank failure in New Zea-
land for $22000000 is one of those
gigantic collapses that makes the
hair on the head of an ordinary
American banker dance the can-
can under his hat.
Siam may be little but she has
grit enough to order the French
vessels to keep out of her waters
even if the order be construed as a
declaration of war. This is the
size of it just now.
It is a supreme satisfaction to
the business and the finance of
this country to know that Mr.
Cleveland is a Republican in his
fiscal ideas whatever else he may
be in other matters.
The gold reserve in the treasury
keeps about as near the hundred
million point as the thermometer
does to the hundred notch in south
Texas this weather. Near enough
for practical purposes.
Th ere are more prominent Dem-
ocrats in Ohio and lowa that do
not want a nomination for gover-
nor this year than the past history
of parties in those states discloses.
Wise or modest which?
The press dispatches change the
location of that Corbett-Mitchell
fight every other day. When the
mill actually comes off if it ever
does it may be that the truth as I
to the place will be'told.
The churches are vigorously
pushing their boycott against the
World’s Fair because its gates are
not closed on Sunday. With these
sons of self and God the other
thousands.do not count.
There is little or no doubt that
the city can do its own lighting
and watering cheaper than a cor-
poration can do it or at least
cheaper than they will do it. The
city has no profit to make out of
its citizens and will furnish sup-
p ies at cost but a corporation
must have its profits.
There is no politics in this sil-
ver question. Republicans and
Democrats will be found in con-
gress fighting both for and against
the proposition of repeal. Lines
will' not be drawn that way.
Dallas is contracting for locks
and dams in the Trinity. When
she builds them she will lock
horns with the railroads for freight
and damn because she cannot cor-
ral it by way of the Trinity.
The San Francisco “Highbind-
ers” are using air guns with deadly
effect and there is no end of vio-
lent deeds and secret murders in
Chinatown owing to hard times
and loss of revenue by blackmail.
It is cruelty to animals to insist
that Crisp shall define his position
on the silver question before he as-
certains on which side of that
question the majority vote of the
lower house is going to be cast.
Once that fact is ascertained there
will be no doubt or with
him.
The demonetization silver will
not effect the Texas farmer. If it
reduces the price of his product it
will reduce the price of all other
products that which he buys as
well as that he sells and the pur-
chasing power of what he sellswill
be as much as it is i!ow. Don’t be
scared.
If it is possible to consolidate
all the iron interests in Mexico
and R. H. McCracken of this city
will do it if it can be done it will
give an immense impetus to the
iron industry over on the other
side of the border. The ore is
there and all that is needed is de-
velopment.
The voting of that S24O(KM) in
instalment notes to meet the pres-
ent indebtedness of the city does
not add one dollar to the bonded
debt of the city. It is only a meas-
ure of reaching a result that is de-
sired by the city ; the payment of
a present matured indebtedness.
Vote for it. \
There is no African in the
woodpile. That proposition to pay
the old debt of the city in instal-
ments $60000 a year for four
years at reduced interest is a pro-
position that all the taxpayers
know is for the interest of the city
to accept. The only acceptance is
to vote for it.
The Anarchists may love Alt-
geld for the enemies that he has
made of respectable citizens but
Altgeld will find in the outcome
that those bomb-bursting friend-
ships will blow his future political
hopes higher than the Haymarket
police were blown by the fellows
he has pardohed.
The Denver silver convention
evidently employed Rider-Hag-
gard to draw up their picture of
the disaster that would overtake
this country if the silver producers
were debarred from taxing a whole
peonle for the benefit of their spe-
cial industry. They have not yet
converted congress.
The Silver Kings of Colorado
and their {courtiers from some of
the other states have issued a royal
proclamation to the country and
it is a milder mannered and
smoother spoken document than
was expected from the incendiary
and revolutionary speeches that
preceded its promulgation.
The police officer who is - too
smart to answer a civil question to
a reporter concerning an arrest; is
altogether too smart for so slow an
office as a city policeman and
should be given a rest. When the
servants of the people are too big
for their boots they should be
given a pair of walking brogans.
The Denver assignment will
not affect the properties in which
the Chamberlin Investment com-
pany is interested In this city and
in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth
Gazette says that the property
there Arlington Heights is self
sustaining. The difficulty arose
largely out of the peculiar con-
ditions in Colorado incident to the
I silver question and do not affect
the values in Texas.
It is exceedingly funny to hear
the democracy charge the heavy
importations to the McKinley bill
when only a few months ago they
declared that the McKinley tariff
was so high that it was virtually a
prohibitory one instead of a pro-
tective one as it claimed to be.
Any port in a Democratic storm.
It js no- index of general busi-
ness one way or the other that
railroad earnings for June are in-
creased because that is the. natur-
al and inevitable result of the
World’s fair. At the same time
the evidences from other sources is
abundant that the general busi-
ness of the country is not suffer-
ing.
Gladstone throws out all of the
ninth clause of the Home Rule bill
that discriminates between the
powers conferred on Irish members
of the Imperial parliament and
English members. Anything short
of this would have been an insult
to the Irish contingent and Glad-
stone is wise to avoid anything
that would expose him to the at-
tacks of his Irish allies at this crit-
ical period.
There is an unwonted increase
in the coffee acreage of Mexico
with indications that a much larg-
er increase may be expected in the
coming season. The purchase of
rich coffee lands in Chiapas by
foreign capital continues new
sales being reported every month
and all these lands are to be
brought into immediate cultiva-
tion. The cofft* lands of the re-
mblic across the Rio Grande will
irove to her a far greater source of
wealth than her silver mines.
The program that is most likely
to succeed in congress will be the
repeal of the clause of the so-called
Sherman bill that calls for the
purchase of silver by the govern-
ment without any attempt to un-
conditionally repeal the other
clauses of the bill. There is no
longer any doubt that the attempt
to unconditionally repeal without
any guarantee to the silver men
will evoke an opposition that may
endanger the success of the sus-
pension of the clause making pur-
chase compulsory.
In the midst of all the uncer-
tainty and secrecy that surrounds
the movements of the Catholic
hierarchy this much is certain:
Father McGlynn returns from
Rome in higher esteem than before
his temporary deposition and
stands so high in the estimation of
the Pope and his Apostolic dele-
gate in the United States that his
elevation to a bishopric is very
generally discussed. In the event
of such an elevation his reverence
would feel nothing but the most
profound satisfaction as such a
vindication but how would his
eminence the archbishop who
silenced him feel?
The penitentiary board of the
state is in session and its acts re-
mind Texas most painfully of the
lamentable want of humanity and
horse sense displayed by the late
legislature in its. legislation on
affairs pertaining to the criminal
classes of this state and particu-
larly in disposing of the prisoners
under sentence in the state peni-
tentiaries. The intelligent public
read with disgust the leasing of so
many convicts to so and so for so
much a month. There is not a con-
vict camp in this or any other
state that is not of necessity the
hot bed of cruelty insubordina-
tion vice and slow murder. The
state leases these men to private
gain for all that greed can grind
out of their blood and muscle and
bones and in doing so it has vio-
lated every equitable considera-
tion making itself a party to an
injustice which can only have the
most demoralizing effect upon the
prisoners.
