SATURDAY OCTOBER 21 1893
ABATE THE FIRE-TRAPS
The fire last night was a costly
sermon on the danger of permit-
ting such old tinder boxes as that
fookerv to stand in the heart of
the city upon her principal busi-
ness thoroughfares. That Alamo
plaza fire-trap caught on German
day and a great conflagration was
only averted by the prompt oc-
tion of some persons in the imme-
diate vicinity. The tire commis-
sioners should not permit the re-
pair of those premises. Nothing
less than a substantial three-story
stone or brick should be erected in
their stead something as near fire-
proof as is possible. There is no se-
curity for property so long as tl ose
tinder boxes exist and the
business part of the city
is full of them. This
is the second time within a yi ar
and a half that the entire busintsi
side of Alamo plaza has been en-
dangered by the flimsy character
of the structures that have already
stood too long upon it to threaten
with destruction the surrounding
properties. The same is true of
Soledad street when* tire has
greatly simplified the work of the
fire commissioners by cleaning out
the old buildings. This Way of
getting rid of them is a very ex-
pensive/one and it would be bet-
ter rigidly to enforce the ordi-
nances covering the erection and
repair of buildings within the first
fire limit. The tire last night had
gained great headway before the
alarm was given and was raging
through the entire length of
the building occupied by
the laundry from front to
rear when the department ar-
rived. Had it spread to the liquor
Stored in the adjoining building
on the north there would have
been no possibility of saving much
between that and Crocket street.
San Antonio has every reason to
congratulate herself on the efficien-
cy of her fire department and the
abundance of water for fire extinc-
tion. It is hoped that she will
soon be able to compliment the city
council on the rigid construction
and application of the fire ordi-
nances particularly as to the con-
struction of buildings on the plazas
and the main business streets.
With all the elements of a great
}>eople within our own control
producing our own raw material
and all that is needed for the sus-
tenance of our people dependent up-
on no foreign power for the means
of living in comfort and luxury
consuming nine tenths of all that
we produce it is not to the credit
of our independence and patriotism
that we permit our financial and
industrial policies to be dictated
to us by foreign nations. Every
consideration of national pride and
every interest of the people would
naturally suggest that we be more
independent.
It is alleged against the politics
of the country that it is dividing
the people into creditors and debt-'
ors. It would be interesting to
note what kind of politics it would
be that would make all of the
people either one or the other of
these classes. Debtors and cre-
ditors there must be so long man
live and exchange commodi-
ties and labor and buy
and sell and get gain and
sutler loss and do all else that is
business. These glittering gen-
eralities are glittering bosh.
Every year there is greater in-
terest taken in American sports.
This is a change from that old time
absorption in business that was
prematurely’ sapping the founda-
tion of the American constitution
and making the Sons of this west-
ern empire a degenerate race. Al-
ready’ the benefits of the new de-
parture are apparent in the im-
proved physiques of the native
Americans the vital statistics of
the country showing that there has
been a decided improvement in
both height and weight during the
past decade.
That midwinter California expo-
sition is going to draw a vast num-
ber of people to the Pacific slope
this winter. San Francisco has
made every preparation fora crowd
and will lay herself out to enter-
tain them. Iler presentation of
herself in such good shape at Chi-
cago was a big advertisement for
her and she will reap the natural
benefit of it this winter. She al-
ways devises wisely.
The farmers of Texas are paying
more debts this year than in any
one year since the state was set-
tled and this despite the drouth
and the panic. They are booked
for big business when the tide is
once turned. A rainy season and
a Republican administration would
be twin blessings for Texas.
The great congresses that have
been held in Chicago during the
progress of the World’s fair have
been of great benefit as educators
of tlie millions who have attended
them. The discussions upon al-
most all conceiveable subjects
have been provocative of thought
and will lead to good results.
Every dollar that has been ex-
pended in advertising this city’
has resulted to her benefit not-
withstanding that most of that
work has been done without the
least intelligent adaptation of
means to the desired end. If some
judicious advertising were done
the results would astonish.
It was not necessary to garble
the record or misconstrue the facts
in the ease of Hogg’s order as to
tramps in order to make out a case
against the governor. There is no
need of detracting from a single
good tiling that he has ever done
to make out a bill of particulars
against him.
If the majority of the Senate
cannot constitutionally’ force a
vote on any measure then it is
time to force such a constitution
upon that Senate as will empower
it to take a vote when a majority
of its members so deccide.
Senator Sherman is old in the
harness but he has seen more ob-
structive methods in the American
House of Lords during the past two
weeks than in all his former expe-
riences combined. Live and learn.
The Republicans of the country
are not sulking in their tents.
They are ready and willing to take
advantage of the opportunities
that are ofTered thom by the Dem-
ocratic disagreement and dubiety.
When the congress of this coun-
try cuts loose from the leading
strings in which the country has
become accustomed to be led it
will mark the beginning of a new
era of industrial prosperity.
The democrats in Jerry Simp-
son’s ball wick go back on the sock-
less and ho will soon be without
any constltsency. Thus does
Bleeding Kansas show signs of
returning sense.
The nomination of the infamous
Maynard to a seat on the Supreme
Bench of the State of New York is
resented by the decent Democracy
amt will greatly aid the Republi-
cans to carr.v the state.
If patriotic sentiments were not
clean gone from among those silver
senators they would yield to the
wishes of the country so universal-
ly expressed and consent to repeal
the purchase act.
All things work together for the
success of the Republican party
but the Grand Old Party does not
like to see her restoration to power
predicated upon the destruction of
national industry.
It is useless to ask that the Sen-
ate be Hooded with demands forac-
tion. The Senators who have no
respect for themselyes will have
none for the expressed wishes of
their constituents.
The silver barons have a ring in
the nose of Voorhees and lead him
around as the monkey attachment
to Stewart’s organ. Not a very’ ed-
ifying sight in the face of two con-
(tinents.
The Duke of Veragua is not the
first old world impecuniosity that
the charity of this new world has
' put on his pedestal nor iA he like
jlyto be the last. American snobs
die hard.
New York city will give her old
city’ hall to the Tilden library
trust and erect a magnificent mu-
nicipal building. The pickings
and stealings on this job will
feather Tammany’s nest for a de-
cade.
The college that encourages or
even permits hazing is encouraj.’
ing mob law and violence for these
students will carry out in practical
life just what they’ learned in
college.
The separate coach law works
as a rule no hardship on the col-
ored man. It is the railroads and
the white travel that is incom-
moded.
This is the place for those with
line stock to pass the winter in
and after the races there will be
several good stables settled here
in quarters for the winter.
The Mexican bull fight is too
much a national past time to be
knocked out by any’ considerations
of a humanitarian character. It is
like the prize fight in old England.
The country’ expected nothing
from Vice-President Stevenson
when he was elected and the conn-
try is getting just what it ex-
pected.
Those street signs are an im-
provement on nothing but there
might be an improvement on the
signs.
The universal interest that a
while since surrounded the Na-
tional Senate has turned to dis-
gust.
There appears to be no law in
the national capital for abating a
nuisance else Senate would be
abated.
That frost in the cotton bolt
should have beeen corraled in
Brunswick.
The farmers of Texas never were
in better condition to push their
fortunes than they’ are today.
Nature intended these United
States to largely go it alone. They
are built that way.
The United States is not depend-
ent upon any other country’ for i
single necessity’ of good living.
Llano is busy with her ore de-
velopments and her bessemer out-
put increases.
The peons in Bolivia are as free
now in name as they have been in
fact for some time.
October will discountany month
of any year for the number of its
railway accidents to date.*
The Austrian Reichsrath is try-
ing to improve upon the lessons
given by the United States Senate.
That Rockport saloon keeper
who proposes to use Sam Jones as
an advertisement is a daisy.
Texas is enjoying the luxury of
lower fares on the railroads this
year than ever before.
Far west Texas is fat and flour-
ishing. East Texas is dry dusty
and burned up.
The one rate fare to the San An-
tonio Jockey Club meet is the
proper caper.
The devil has a mortgage on the
Democratic Senate and he is wicked
not to foreclose it.
The wheel of political fortune Is
turning toward the sun of a rising
Republicanism.
The Jockey club .meet next
month in this city will astonish
Texas. •
Illinois and Mississippi should
take lessons of Indiana in dealing
with the whitecap.
Grover is determined that the
Sherman law will stand as It is or
bejunconditionally repealed.
The Dallas Fhir was a great
horse show.
Russia and France are cooing
like a pair of summer-resort lovers.
Every thing Russian goes i n Pari s
just now. It is a Russian season.
The whitecap gets its quietus
under the black cap.
