SATURDAY JUNE 1 1895
This Is the last day in the after-
noon. Tomorrow opens wide the
doors of a new week. One in which
San Antonio will marshal all of
her forces to do honor to the enter-
prising fraternity which has hon-
ored her by accepting her splendid
hospitality. It will be a week long
to be remembered and a season of
each hustling for places as the old
Alamo City has not witnessed since
her bornin.
The man or woman who has re-
sided in this city half a score of
years and then departs for any
cause hails a return as Noah’s dove
hailed her returning flight to the
shelter of the ark. There is some-
thing wonderfully attractive about
this quaint old town. To live in it
once is to love it forever.
Tho Commercial Apostles who
make this town their home next
week will advertise it to the ends
of the National domain. What
will the nature of that advertiseing
be? Just what we make it. This
town is not so good a town as all
its lovers make it; nor is it half so
bad a town as strangers mostly
take it; but whether good or bad
next week depends on how the
drummers make it.
Michigan yearns a soulful yearn
after the unattainable in passing
an anti-treating law. It is a pity
that it is unattainable for the
habit of treating is the one most
fruitful of all sources of excessive
drinking. When men drink only
what they pay for themselves there
will be little drunkenness.
Gresham is no more and if no
more is heard of the foreign policy
of which he was the exponent it
will be all the better for the coun-
try. While dropping a sympathiz-
ing tear for the man it is not in
the power of an honest American
eye to weep over the removal of
such a Foreign Secretary.
If these memorial day services
do no more than proclaim with
trumpet tongue the demonstrated
impossibility of the peaceful sepa-
ration of these federated states
they will serve a useful purpose
and may well be perpetuated for
that alone for another generation.
After that it will be considered so
senseless a thing to attempt to di-
vide the republic that no monu-
ment of its unity will be required.
Houston had her reunion in
memory of the dead and their llv;
in g comrades and the victories of
their past. San Antonio has her
reunion in memory of the hustlers
of Che living present and their vic-
tories on the unbannered field of
peaceful endeavor. There is not so
much fuss and feathersand parade
made over these trade triumphs
but they fill the bill of the Na-
tion’s needs all the same and point
out the way of greater progress
and a more splendid achievement
than was ever struck out in the
bloody conflicts of horrid war.
There were no end of boys in both
blue and gray who made splendid
records in the field of martial con-
flict who could not hold the fort an
hour in the contests of trade with
this grand army of commerce that
marches on San Antonio next
week. The rank and file of this
army are hustlers and there are no
commissioned officers in the host.
The reports of wash outs on the
railroads multiply in southwest
and west Texas showing that the
unprecedented drouth of the past
semi-decade has been split up the
back as far as its collarbone. This
Is matter of great rejoicing not-
withstanding the chronic kickers
will insist that there is too much
rain and that crops are irretriev-
ablydamaged. Itwill be found in
the last analysis of the crop situa-
tion that these damaged crops will
pin out more dollars to the acre this
year of grace than they have done
in any one year since the last United
States’ census was taken and the
takers thereof turned up their toes
to the daisies. These kicks are the
only signs of life that these chronic
fault finders have to distinguish
them from the great body of the
defunct. The kick does no one any
harm. Put this down and under-
score it. Southwest Texas cannot
have too much rain.
The “sooners” were the bane of
the white settlement of the opened
territories. They are the curse
and destruction of the regular
political parties. Wait for the reg-
ular convention wagon and we’ll
all take a ride. These premature
conventions are like the premature
blast in the mine they knock the
stuffing out of the fellows who
monkey with them. Let them
alone is the best way to treat
them.
San Antonio will smile her
usual beaming smile on the ladles
from all sections of this vast E.
Pluribus Unum who set their dain-
ty feet on this far away soil and if
she sheds any tears while they are
in her midst it will be because the
roses are largely out of bloom and
the city is not robed in her usual
beautiful garments. Such tears
will be excused but they should be
few and dispensed with extreme
caution.
That Ohio convention of Republi-
cans wh|ch assembled this week
struck the key note of the finan-
cial music that the great party
of sound money and resumption
will sing as their national anthem
in the next campaign. It is for hard
and soft money paper issues and
coin bimetalism in short for all
kinds of good money each kind the
equivalent of the other and all
backed by the nation’s wealth and
honor. This will be about the size
of the financial plank. It is sound
on the goose.
San Antonio had much better
pay her debts and transact all of
her business on a cash basis. The
necessity for this is imperative.
The bonds to secure funds for such
payment should be Issued at as low
rate of interest as they can possib-
ly be floated at and for as short a
time. All back taxes as fast as
collected should go into a sinking
fund for their redemption as the
debt was incurred through neglect
to collect these taxes. The proper-
ty can afterward be taxed an an-
nual rate for the retirement of such
bond as are not redeemed by the
back tax fund by the close of this
century.
If there is anything in the larder
that the T. P. A. want while they
are in this city and do not see It
let them advertise for it in the
Light and they will be certain to
make the connection. It goes
without saying that if the Light
Is thrown on the search there is
never any failure.
The spinning mills in the south
are spinning more than double the
amount of cotton today that they
did when the last United States
census was taken. They will double
this one more time before the next
census is had. Texas should get a
move on herself and come into the
ring.
Many of the bottom lands of the
eastern section of Texas are cov-
ered with water. Some damage to
crops will naturally result but it
cannot be helped. Southwest Tex-
as must have a show once in a
while and this year it looks as
though the turn in the wheel had
come and this section is to have a
show twice in a while. This is all
that she needs in order to get there
with both feet.
There is a general cry for muni-
cipal reform. This reform would
do well in many instances to begin
with the reformers themselves.
The need of refom is apparent but
there is no apparent necessity for
the hangers on in the camp of re-
form who cry out with the hounds
and run with the hares.
These hot muggy sultry sticky
clammy steaming perspiring
sweltering stifling days are not
common to this section but they
give the natives a fair idea of the
hours between the frequent sum-
mer showers of that great north-
ern belt where it scalds you in
summer and freezes you in winter
salving your hurts by an occasional
day that is the realization of all
that is pleasant in the way of tem-
perature. For steady diet those
regions are not in it with breezy
balmy blessed Sanantone.
The annual meetings of the great
religious bodies of this continent
are about over but it does not ap-
pear that the freethought of the
churches is any more restrained
than one year ago. It is apparent
that the organized enemies of free
biblical criticism are not gaining
ground. ‘
The weather clerk has little re-
spect thus far this spring to the
engagements of the San Antonio
Jockey club but he is warned to
touch lightly the garment of the
“trade missionaries.”
There is not a doubt that the
turn of the card has come and that
the trade conditions of the entire
country are looking up. This is
peculiarly so of the South.
The man with a good stand of
corn this season is in it clear up
to the hub. It may or may not be
so with the man who has his ever-
lasting all in the cotton field.
Moral: Plant more corn.
The weather clerk is respectfully
notified to hold on to his sprinkler
after today and allow the city to
dry up before the Missionaries
make their trade rounds. There
are ladies in that crowd.
Formosa does not take kindly to
the taking of the island by the
Japs but they will take it all the
same. Formosa may as well shake
hands with the inevitable. It sel-
dom fails to materialize.
There is a growing disbelief in
any of the dispatches from Cuba in
which the death of either a Spanish
soldier or an insurgent is men-
tioned. That revolution is not
making corpses its business.
Governor-Hogg-that-was is tell-
ing the people down in New York
that it never rains too much in
Texas. Hogg has a pretty good ac-
quaintance with the state.
There is little accomplished by
argument beyond the demonstra-
tion to tho other fellow that you
know less than he thinks he does.
Better save your breath and cool
your soup.
Foster seems to have slipped a
cog in his prognostics for May in
this southland. He is not in it
when it comes to foretelling wet-
ness but when he foretells drouth
he is a jim dandy.
If Beeville and that coast coun-
try would establish a pneumatic
tube line for sending watermil-
lions through to this city in their
season it would be an immense
thing for this melon loving town.
bee: see.'
Our prices on buggies carriages
etc. are and must be in every in-
stance as low or lower than are
quoted elsewhere on equal qualities.
We make no mistake upon this
point we watch it most carefully
and are al way prepared to em-
phatically prove it.
