The watermelon cornea in early this
year and threatens to stay late. We
all love them.
There is seldom any color line drawn
around the man with a good load of
luscious watermelons.
The south is in the swim and Texas
has her choice of location in the great
natatorium.
Illinois had a rotten Legislature but
it did put a decent libel law upon the
statute book. .
President McKinley has to follow suit
and keep denying the fake interviews
published in London papers.
San Antonio wins out early in the
series with the pennant secure. Now
hump yourselves for the drill.
General Gordon could not resign at
Nashville. He will be Confederate
commander to the end.
Having made the other clubs in the
league sweat it was fitting to present
the boys with sweaters.
Nashville is full and running over
now and San Antonio will be next
month. Prepare to pucker.
Debs should have taken his colony
of Social Democrats to South Africa.
Rhodes wants them.
It costs no more to cross the conti-
nent this year than it did to buy a
square meal on the plains in 49.
The -wheat crop shows just as big
in Texas as it comes from the thresher
as in the shock.
The drift of this country is for the
annexation of Hawaii and the end is
eertain to be annexation.
The law that is upon the statute
book of Texas today making death by
mob violence murder In the first de-
gree and punishable with death is de-
stined to become a dead letter. There
are not twelve men in the state of Tex-
as who will consent to hang a man be-
cause he took part in punishing such
a crime as -was recently perpetrated
In Wilson county or the one in Tyler
county or the more recent one in
Kaufman county. The death penalty
that attaches to that laW will defeat it.
There is no defense of mob violence
in this statement but a mere declara-
tion of what every honest man in the
state will admit to be true. As to the
sections that remove an officer from
office for permitting the mob to* get
his prisoner that is more equitable.
There are very few Instances in which
the officer cannot circumvent the mob
and in concealing or removing his
prisoner prevent the threatened lynch-
ing. The law is a cast iron one and
will not be enforced beyond the re-
moval from office of the sheriff or dep-
uty whose prisoner is lynched.
British Vice Consul Burroughs at
Kansas City is in a peck of trouble
and the measure is running over. He
spread himself to make his end of the
jubilee a howling success. He asked
the Catholic clergy to pray for the
Queen and he did not ask the Protest-
ant Episcopal clergy to do likewise. The
Catholics refused and he got mad and
cursed them and the Celtic blood got
hot and made it warm for Bur-
roughs. The Protestant clergy were
sultry because they were left out of
the Invitation and they refused to pray
and raked Burroughs from stem to
stern. Then there are those who
know no better and curse him for not
flying the stars and stripes along side
of his British flag which as vice con-
sul it is proper for him to do or not as
he chooses. There is one consolation
for Burroughs he will be dead before
the next jubilee comes around.
Tuesday’s Globe Democrat contains
a little map of the Hawaiian islands
with distances to the principal ocean
ports of the Pacific laid down in right
lines diverging from Honolulu. The
intent is to illustrate how centrally
Honolulu is situated as a coaling sta-
tion and the consequent advantage
that it would be to the United States
to take it upon its own invitation. The
chart shows well. San Francisco is
distant 2100 miles; Victoria 2360; Yo-
kohoma 3440; Sidney 4300; Hong Kong
4893. There is no other island that
could be so utilized within 2000 miles
of the Hawaiian group. Uncle Sam
is making his calculations on occupy-
ing it.
Gomez says that the fighting in Cu-
ba is over for the season and that heat
and death will be left to do their work
on the Spanish troops for a wihle. This
does not prevent some considerable op-
erations on the part of the insurgents
notably the siege of Bayamo which
the Cuban forces have invested despite
the fact that it is a seaport. The Cu-
ban artillery command the works and
many of the guns of the garrison have
been silenced. Communications by
land are ail cut off and there is little
hope of its defenders escaping. They
number 8000 men as reinforced. t
Close calculation made by authorities
not unfriendly to Spain rendbr it cer-
tain that she is losing her troops in
Cuba too fast to replace them. Her
total army in Cuba from the opening
of the war to date is put at 158963
officers and men. Her dead and disabl-
ed and in hospital beyond hope of re-
turning to active service number near-
ly 46000 men or one-fourth of the en-
tire army and yet there has not been
a decisive battle fought yet. Spain
cannot long stand this.
It is reported that the late little run
that the Dauntless took in showing
the cruiser Marble Head a clean pair
of heels has disabled her machinery
and that she is on Indian Key. An
American war vessel has gone down
to try and capture her and her outfit
which is still intact. This will be
hard lines for the filibuster if true.but
that craft is foxy and this may be an-
other tale to deceive the elect of the
government and pave the way for an-
other successful run.
Boies of lowa is too good a financier
to be satisfied with the 16 to 1 foolish-
ness and too much of a Dem-Pop to be
satisfied with the middle of the road
crowd and too much of a free silverite
and free trader to chip in with the bi-
metallists. Looking for a place on which
to camp he has come out for the free
coinage of silver at the bullion value.
What will the silver $ be worth then?
Can it be more stable than the price
of the bullion itself? Ask Boies?
The Democratic press of the free sil-
ver persuasion reminds one of the
rooters on the grand stand at the ball
park when an unpopular player ad-
vances to the bat. The king bee in
this nest of political rooters is the
Houston Post but it is much of a fail-
ure there as in trying to engineer a
baseball nine to victory with San An-
tonio in the diamond.
Arkansas is generally accepted as a
little nearer sheol than any of the oth-
er states of the American union but
rushing the mercury to 109 in the
shade before the echo of her last hail-
storm had died out on the circum-
ambient was a little more than was
bargained for. Texas has sins enough
of her own to»atone for but she never
was caught in that condition and rec-
ognized.
Even the Democrats are beginning to
spell Protection with a capital P. It
Is some time since they acquired the
habit of spelling Nation with a capi-
tal N.
It would be interesting to note two
things; first how much gold the queen’s
jubilee has taken out of the United
States? Second how much in the way
of aids to American institutions those
who spend these millions across the
big water have given during the
past decade? The wealthy American
spends more abroad in one season
than he spends at home in three. It
is not right.
If that masked ravisher at Forney
is run down with bloodhounds and
there is no sheriff there and the brute
is found dead and no one in his vicini-
ty and no one squeals where is the
law adjudging his executioners worthy
of death to come in? Present punish-
ments do not cure that crime.
If Cleveland had continued in power
another term and he could have made
terms with the sugar trust which was
so fostered under the Wilson bill he
could have bought the earth before his
term expired. As it is he has preempt-
ed a claim to a good slice of paying
property at last.
It is not the criticism that is passed
upon the acts of administration before
they are performed that hurt. It is
the adverse criticism after the act and
which has a basis for its strictures. It
is with the judgment before the act
that the Democratic press is now con-
cerning itself.
Because one Democrat is on the com-
mission the Democratic press of Texas
thinks that the forthcoming codifica-
tion of the United States statutes Is
destined to be a glitering corruscatlon
of successes. One fly on a bald head-
ed man does not make a baseball game
by a long shot
There is one thing that can be said
about that jubilee that will not bear
contradiction and that is the quality
of the jubilee anthems. Better poetry
is thrown into the waste basket of an
American daily newspaper every day
in the year. Shades of Tennyson how
poor the stuff is.
Galveston News thinks that Presi-
dent McKinley Is soft. The News is
accustomed to judge all presidents by
Grover and in head and stomach he
can give any other man who ever oc-
cupied the presidential chair points of
softness. The one soft point William
has is in his heart.
The Galveston News may be right
In thinking that because Harvard
made a fool of herself ten year's ago
in L. L. D. ing Cleveland Princeton
is justified in making a fool of herself
now.
Hawaii and the United States are the
only principals in this annexation bus-
iness. The rest of the world and Queen
Lil are out of it so far that there is no
dusty trail in sight.
Foraker is not hand and glove with
Governor Bushnell even if they do
belong to the same political party.
Bushnell cannot be choked off from
the state government however and is
renominated.
There is confusion twice confounded
In the camp of the fusionists. The mid-
dle of the road gang announce very
early in the political morning that they
are going it alone next time.

The controversy between Bateman
of Maine and the Bryan-Allen crowd
as to the addition of Bateman’s name
to that little document is an interest-
ing one. Bateman is too heavy for Al-
len.
Senate concludes to stick to its com-
mittee schedules on tariff of wool but
it is not so certain that the House will
yield to the increase that has been
put on as the sheepmen do not ask it.
The drill companies that are muster-
ing for the fray in San Antonio are
looking out for their sponsors. Noth-
ing like a sweet sixteep sponsor to
give spirit and life to a company camp.
A plain American citizen in plain
American clothes was the most observ-
ed of all beside the queen in the great
Jubilee parade. Simplicity is the garb
that best proclaims the gentleman.
It would require a special judge to
draw the line of probable truth be-
tween the representations of Weyler
and those of the Cuban leaders. Small
pox and yellow fever draw their own
line. ■
In voting down a motion congratu-
latory of the British reign of 60 years
the Confederate Vets were wise. They
were not organized to taffy the work
of a great monarchy like Great Brit-
ain.
Senator Morgan has introduced a bill
for the acceptance of the offer of Ha-
waii. This will obviate the need of a
two-third vote and make it depend
upon a majority of both Houses of
Congress.
The average wealth* of the United
States escapes paying taxes as a rule.
What it cheats the home government
out of in this way It spends to main-
tain foreign show places and titled
paupers.
John Bull will subside after this week
for another 60 years. At the end of
that time there will not be so much of
him to jubilate as there is now. J. B.
decreases by comparison.
No serious accidents have occurred
during the Jubilee celebrations thus
far and on this account the queen and
her subjects are alike open to con-
gratulation.

The attempt to make out a stand
up and knock down and drag out fight
between Hanna and Foraker is outlaw-
ed by the recent declarations of For-
aker himself.
There is no discount on intelligence.
The most ordinary servant that ever
scoured at a scullery did the scouring
all the better if she mixed brains with
her scouring stuff.
Now that the Jubilee has been cele-
brated it is in order to look for them
golden slippers.
England prevented Greece from ac-
quiring Crete in 1830 and she is the
main cause of the present disaster
that has overtaken that plucky little
kingdom in the Levant False prom-
ises did it.
Every movement in the financial
world indicates the return of prosper-
ity.
Bushnell and Hanna have a clear
walk over in Ohio in so far as any
Republican combination against them
is concerned.
Spain is in a state of mind. She
neither knows what she wants or how
to go about getting it.
Nashville and London are the princi-
ple attractions in. the two English
speaking nations now.
The Republicans in the Senate are
not agreed upon the wool schedules.
Better have left those established by
the House to stand as they were.
Nothing puts fat on Vest’s ribs like
a free for all among the protectionists

Foraker seems to have a chip on his
shoulder for every one but the one
