There is not one sound argument
that can be advanced for the at-
tempt to place those sewer bonds
among our own citizens in small
denominations. The San Antonio
workman or clerk who has a hun-
dred dollars to spare can get better
interest on his money than five
per cent. It is not as if these
bonds could be paid for in instal-
ments and draw interest on the In-
stalments as paid in they must be
taken at once or largely so. paid
cash down for probably at a pre-
mium the money would be tied
up years to come and the holders
who might want to use their
money otherwise would find them-
selves unable to command it at
sight. There would not be ten per
cent of these bonds taken by those
who would purchase a $lOO bond or
lessand after being hawked about
town to their detrimant would in
the end have to be disposed of to
the man with capital who makes
a business of such investments.
These bonds cannot be made to do
duty for a savings bank and it is
useless to attempt It.
Argentine Republic had 60000-
000 bushels of wheat for exporta-
tion last year and the increase of
acreage this year is not less than
20 percent over last years crop area.
If the yield is the same it will give
that country at least a hundred
millions of bushels to dispose of to
foreign countries. In this view of
the case it is not wisdom but its
reverse that cries out continually
for the increase of the wheat areas
of this country. The American
farmer is suffering from overpro-
duction today and now that the
Democrats have opened the door
to all the products of Canada and
the British possessions In North
America it goes without saying
farm produce will rule lower than
it ever has. This is the goal of
Democratic ambition and they are
reaching for it with both hands.
The Republican party has made
it its business for thirty years to
care for the colored brother and
has lost flesh in the operation. Let
the party look to its own upbuild-
ing for the next thirty aud see how
it will come out. If it sticks to
business it will not know itself in
ten years and in twice ten years
it will be monarch of all it sur-
veys.
Dame Britannia’s fat boy over on
the other side of the Niagara drops
down on his marrow bones to
thank the Lord or is it the Lord?
for the privileges of running the
American farmer out of the home
market. This iniquity also will
come to a perpetual end when the
Republicans resume rule.
The Devil knows that he has
achieved a streak of good luck
when he succeeds in having one of
his own faithful ones chosen an
officer In the House of the Lord.
It is the traitor within the camp
who of all enemies is the most
dangerous.
If there is any real intention on
the part of the council to put out
the sewer bonds in small denomi-
nations let them make a double
issue reserving $50000 for that ex-
periment and offering these in as
small denominations as they
choose. Having these reserved for
home issue let the other $450000
be advertised for in the usual man-
ner in denominations of thousands.
The Democratic platform is
sound on the leasing of convicts to
private contractors. It would be
all the sounder if the matter was
not all sound and was put into a
practical legislative act making
all such leases null and void and
prohibiting the farther leasing of
such parties. There are a hun-
dred and one valid reasons against
the practice and a doubtful money
consideration is all that can be
urged in its favor. This is not suf-
ficient to justify the growing out-
rage of it all.
Judge Reagan is too old a sol-
dier to skulk in his tent because
some younger officer has been se-
lected to parade the troops on state
review. The old man will be
found fighting like a kid whereever
the ranks are in danger of being
broken. He has made hosts of
friends during this campaign by
his open fearless honest method of
meeting the situation. There is no
crab about John.
There is no manner of doubt that
a vote taken on the squarely
avowed principles of the Republi-
can party would return for these an
overwhelming majority through-
out the nation. It is a question if
even in Texas the platform would
not be accepted. It is the Republi-
can and not Republican principles
that are objected to in this state.
Be wise then and put the party on
a new basis to meet the existing
conditions and the additions to the
ranks would multiply like lies in a
state campaign.
There appears to be an irrecon-
cilable difference of opinion in all
eastern circles whether there is a
war in progress between the Japs
and the Chinese or whether it is a
skirmish for effect. The Japan
minister to this country says that
war has not commenced in earnest
and he ought to be posted if any
one is. If the press correspond-
ents can get in their work so well
on a mere skirmish what may not
be expected when they get down to
business and actually fight. The
lies that will then wing themselves
to this western world will certain-
ly astonish the natives.
No matter what any candidate
before the people no matter of
what party may pledge himself to
on the stump he cannot deliver
any goods that do not carry the
party stamp. He must fall into
line with his party or out of line.
If out of line he puts himself out-
side of the help of his party for
any work that he may desire in be-
half of his district and Is useless
to accomplish anything. If he puts
himself in line with his party then
he Is bound by the caucus and de-
cree of his party and cannot travel
outside of these to redeem any pri-
vate or personal pledges ho may
have made. There is no use of
monkeying it is tote straight with
party or bolt. There is no wisdom
with in selecting a man who has
to defy party to work your inter-
ests when those interests can be
more certainly and surely served
by those committed straight out
to that work. The wool man then
who is looking for help to restore
wool to its protected condition
would be a fool to seek such help
in the camp of the freetraders.
There Is no use in religion or in
politics for the straddlebug.
There has nothing that has
occurred in months that ha s so
so well advertised Texas as the
bid of the competing lines of rail
for the travel to Washington. It
shows that the railroads are alive
and that there are enough people
in this remote Lone Star State to
make it an object to catch their
travel. No better rates were eve r
given 'anywhere than the Texas
roads are now offering.
Short hours mean better work
work with more heart and soul
and purpose and result for the
expended energy and time than
long diours. This should not be
lost sight of b.y those who contract
for labor. It works both ways and
is as advantageous to theemploy-
er as to the employed. Good pay
for short day’s work will fill the
bill better than longer hours with
lower pay per hour.
Compulsory education is as much
a necessity as the provision for the
education of the children of the
people at the public expense. Why
make the provision and then let it
remain inoperative simply for lack
of wisdom sufficient to compel a
use of the educational privileges it
confers ?
If when the public and private
schools and academies of this city
open this fall all the street colleges
and primary schools and kinder-
gardens could close It would be an
immense gain to the intelligence
and morals of the kids of this city.
Cannot the street school be dis-
missed?
Library advantages are increas-
ing in this city from year to year
for the benefit of the reading pub-
lic but the present facilities are
only as the shower before a needed
deluge. To the public spirited
citizen there is no end of opportu-
nity opening in the direction of an
endowed library.
The Houston Post assumes in
the density of its ignorance that it
will be impossible for the Repub-
licans to elect a president in the
year 1896. The Post can put it
down as the one fact of the politic-
al future concerning which there
is no question that the days of
Democratic rule in the White
Ho use are numbered and that the
su m of them will be told in the
spring of 1897. Not only so but
the Republicans of Texas are not
without hope of capturing the state
government In the election of two
years hence. This is not confident-
ly predicted but the party have
hopes.
The city should pass an ordl*
nance keeping little children oil
the public streets especially in the
business centers after a specified
hour in the evening. There Is
more mischief educated Into these
little ones on the street that can
be educated out of them In a life-
time by all the processes of the
courts. They stand peering into
the doors of saloons and listening
to all kinds of conversation only to
repeat all that Is foul in it at the
earliest opportunity. The sharp-
ness of the street gam mln Is pro-
verbial and It is owing to the fact
that he sharpens his tongue on
every file that he gnaws in his
nocturnal ramblings. The evil Is
not confined to the he kids either.
Just let the Republicans of this
state elect two or three congress-
men and what a stampede there
would be from the regions of the
frozen north of this state of peace
and plenty and summer temper-
atures all the year round.
Blessed 1s that man who hath no
itch for office and to whom the
•‘ways that are dark and the tricks
that are vain” of the man hungry
for pie are not known. When he
stands before his mirror he shall
not stand in the presence of a mean
man.
The man who poses as a patriot
and assumes to serye party while
serving only self is the man of all
others most dangerous to good gov-
ernment and yet he is always pres-
ent like the incarnate spirit of
evil preventing by malicious coun-
cils the good that others would per-
form.
Consistency on the part of the
state legislature demands the elec-
tion of a United States Senator
who will stand squarely on the
platform adopted at Dallas. Chil-
ton cannot do this with one foot.
Free trade is the Utopian dream
of industrial wiggeries and it is
degenerating into a nightmare.
