run the city of New York under Dem-
ocratic management.

clout army. The are not hampered

o
Bland is not likely to see another
Democratic convention and will be
saved another betrayal.
o
Houston is told one more time that
•the work on that Buffalo bayou is to
•commence instanter.
o
Work on the barge for dredging out
the Buffalo bayou is ordered at once.
What will it cost?
Waco covered the earth with her
real estate discussions and lapped over
on the edges a bit.
Rapid transit to the fair grounds
and plenty of it to care for the crowds
is to be provided.

If there is going to be anything per-
manent in that fair business the track
should be made a mile.
o
All of the east is burning up with
•drouth but southwest Texas is green
as a field of freshness.
East Texas has had a touch of the
drouth but west Texas has had her
share of the moisture.
After the ten years of drouth the
ten years of wetness and plenty are
due in this southwest.
• - o
Havana takes her turn at the screw
and now quarantines against South
American fever ports.
o
That yellow fever in Vera Cruz is
not only virulent but it is violent and
cases increase daily.
Corpus Christi does well to consider
the need and wisdorti of quarantining
against Mexican coast craft.
o
The president of the French republic
is more of a man than was thought
-when he was elected.
O-
The body of the French people will
stand squarely with Loubet in his loy-
alty to the republic.
o
Washington waits on London as to
Alaskan settlement but Uncle Sam is
giving nothing away.
The cry of race war is foolishly rais-
ed whenever and wherever a white and
a black man scrap.
Those little West India islands not
bigger than an American truck patch
are all rasping on reciprocity.
France is In the list for reciprocity
arrangements (with United States. She
can be accommodated.
Reciprocity goes with anything and
everything that can be made to bene-
fit the United States.
San Antonio is goYig to work this
time to lay the foundations of a fair
that twill last for years.
The heart of the nation bleeds at the
repeated disasters from wind and flood
that are reported.
There is semething more than ap-
pears on the surface in that declara
tion as to Nicaragua canal.
Panama canal is to be considered as
well as the Nicaragua route and a
full report submitted.
There are a thousand influences at
work in two continents to prevent
Nicaragua canal construction.
San Antonio needs every cent of the
revenue that is justly hers to carry
out her Improvements.
The late rains have saved what of
the corn crop is savable but in some
sections this is not much.
The .veather clerk has been in a
tenderly tearful mood of late. May
he remain so for a season.
New York City has water supply
enough for months to come but
Brooklyn is not so fortunate.
Between cyclones in the northwest
and drouth and barrenness in the
northeast the north is not happy.
Good street cleaning work will al-
ways pay. It pays to bathe and
smarten yourself up anyway.
The Missouri State fair announces
itself in need of funds. They are all
built on the same plan.
St. Louie is crawling up toward that
$5060000 mark with commendable
celerity. It is over $4600000 now and
most of the big real estate operators
have not been heard from as yet.
The heaviest taxpayers on real es-
ate in St. Louis are just now being
•anvassed for the fair.
San Antonio baseball club Is forging
slowly and laboriously nearer and
nearer to Galveston.
o
There is a slight rise in the cotton
and wheat quotations and these hurt
no one appreciably.
Corpus Christi asks for a quarantine
officer as the coast boatmen coming
up from the Mexican ports are liable
to bring with them the seeds of yellow
fever and plant it for a crop.
Governor Sayers' suggestion for a
conference among the governors as
to trust legislation is meeting with
a favorable response from Missouri
Arkansas. Illinois. lowa and other
states.
The Democratic journals are holding
their sides in wonderment of what will
occur when Reed again breaks into
the speakership ring. Those Demo-
crats are always wondering at what
never happens.
Reed's law partners are not among
the number of those who think that
Reed has designs upon Congress. His
last word to them was that he should
tender his resignation on his return
in August.
The state health officer having found
all right along the docks at New Or-
leans can now turn his attention to
the banks of the Colorado and see
how to avoid a pestilence from the
dead fish and live stock.
There is not a Democratic conven-
tion on record that has stronger anti-
trust planks framed by it than the
Republican conventions have framed.
Will the two parties work together
here.
There is not a discount to be made
upon the money supply of the country.
It is abundant and never more so.
What is wanted is something to put
out for the money and the cash will
come.
Taxation of franchises is certain to
come and it may be said to be already
here but what is needed is some uni-
form method of levying these taxes in
all the states and their municipalities.
The immediate preparation of the
fair grounds down at Riverside park
is expected. There are no more months
between now and the opening of the
gates than are required for hustling
work.
Mark Hanna says truly that the
trusts are not an issue for that only
is an issue that is in controversy and
as both Republicans and Democrats
have denounced in unmeasured terms
the trusts and pronounced against
them what is there in the nature of
an issue on that question.
The Denison Gazetter is of the opin-
ion that the vast proportion of the
people of Texas oppose the action of
the government in the Philippines.
The Gazetteer is all by its lone In a
contention like this it only the poll
was taken. Trne Texas will go it
blind on almost any Democratic pro-
position. but there is no certainty that
Texas Democrats are American Ta-
gals.
The unity of the Democratic party
in its next national convention is al-
most past praying for. Where will
Gorman and Bryan find a common
ground of action or Altgeld and Har-
rison or Stone and Tammany.
Sharkey will find that Jeffries has
no love for him personally when they
stand up together. It will be a slug-
ging match for all that is out and
there Will be no stealing the award.

Prerident McKinley was the right
man in the right place when he pre-
vented Secretary Long from setting
Dewey back and advancing Watson
over his head and sending him to the
Pacific station.
There is a commander of the army
and navy who Is quietly supervising
the whole business and there is sub-
stantial .'ustice being done all around
the circle of army and naval move-
ment.
Captain Nichols of the monitor
Monadnock was as truly slain in bat-
tle as it he had been struck by a
poisoned arrow from the natives. He
would stand at his post in the heat
until he died.
Stone and Bryan are running the
machine at present but when one is
in the way of the other which will be
the one and which the other? Stone
is not to be trusted around the poli-
tical corner.
Bryan is coming up to time aparent-
ly but is he really? When the Free-
silveritce have had their innings and
the sound money men of the party are
heard from where will Brya'n be at?
There is no doubt that the freesilver
wing of the Democratic party is bet-
ter organized than it was tour years
ago but the freesilver danger is also
more plainly seen. It is a conundrum.
Colonel Dreyfus has been in solitary
confinement so long that he finds it no
trouble to keep his tongue to himself.
This is no sign that he is not doing a
deal of thinking over the situation.
It is creeping through the wool of
the objectors that President McKin-
ley’s recent civil service order is in
the line of the same civil service that
Cleveland botched.
United States is exporting l some gold
but not enough to prevent the ac-
cumulation of the yellow metal in the
vaults of the treasury. So long as
this continues free silver is not in it.
There is nothing in the success that
Henderson has met with to justify the
charge that the west is sectional. The
time had to come for the west to se-
cure' the speakership that is about
all.
Director Merriam of the census is ob-
stinate and will likely stick to his
declared understanding as to the ap-
pointment of census enumerators and
supervisors. Congressmen have a
hand in.
There is nothing in the curses that
the Democratic papers have hurled on
Hanna to discourage him. He has
thrived and grown fat on them. He
is master of the situation for the pres-
ent.
There is nothing in the record of
either President McKinley or the Re-
publican party on the extension of
the civil service that they cannot safe-
ly appeal to the country on. State
the facts.
Secretary Gage has overestimated
the expenses of the government and
underestimated its revenues and now
there is a probability of a hundred
million in the treasury in excess of es-
timates.
Arkansas Kansas and Missouri coal
men have put up the bars and in spite
of the legislation against combines In
those states are running the hardest
and tightest trust in the country.
There can be but one issue to a fight
such as the indomitable president of
the Transvaal is putting up. The Uit-
landers outnumber the Boers now and
they will have suffrage or fight.
Corpus Christi is doing a much larg-
er business in market garden ship-
ments this year than ever before and
the end is not yet for much of her
produce in yet to reach the market.
Mayor Fly of Galveston thinks that
he is the whole shooting match when
he can beat the mandamus of the
court the veto of the council and the
fees of the lawyer. He knows much
too much.
Ten regiments of colored troops as
good as those now in the United States
service would be of wonderful utility
In Luzon at present. Twice that num-
ber should be raised easily. There is
nothing that really suits the colored
man better than the drill ground and
the garrison.
Georgia would rut a pepper in the
hands of every woman in the state and
teach her how to use it if all the wo-
men who are thus to be taught are all
right but if otherwise?
Bermuda thinks that she ought to
dicker for the entrance of her onions
into the United States free of duty.
Not the least need in life. Texas can
grow onions to feed the whole coun-
try.
Hanna is tiot in the lead with the
street car strike at Cleveland this time
but it 1s a wonder that he is not charg-
ed with the responsibility of that busi-
ness by the Democratic press.

The kidnapper of little Marion Clark
is going to set up the plea of insanity
by way of defense. As the little one
is down with measles contracted while
unlawfully in Barrow's custody he may
have to answer to the charge of man-
slaughter. That the whole miserable
business is the result of a desire to se-
cure sensational news tor the press
makes It still more to be regretted. As
for the insanity cf Barrow that may
not be so hard to establish for since
a very severe illness that affected his
head 12 years ago he has been subject
to insane impulses.
That real estate convention at Wa-
co has a most elaborate program before
it and it almost covers the earth. It
the convention digests half of it there
will be good discussion done.
Once more the cyclone 1n the north-
west comes dawn ca the innocent peo-
ple as a wolf on the fold. There seems
to be no human prescience can turn
aside the destroyer when he comes in
such a guise.
The distress cry is heard from Me-
nardfille and San Antonio should re-
spond heartily. That stricken region
is in this congressional district and
prompt measures for relief should be
at once undertaken. The people need
food clothing household utensils and
all else that those who have passed
through such a disaster must need. A
public meeting should be called
or some measures at once taken to se-
cure what our people are ready to con-
tribute and forward. The member of
Congress ' from this distirict might
properly interest himself n this mat-
ter.
The delegates at that peace confer-
ence are making a virtue of necessity
and opening the proceedings to the
press. The members found that there
was a leak somewhere and that the
proceedings were in part given to the
public and so thought that all might
as well be published. The only strange
thing about it is that it was ever
thought necessary to keep the work of
the congress secret for it 1s not diplo-
matic in any proper sense and is such
as all the humanitarians at the world
are deeply interested in. The days for
secret conclaves are past.
There Is a set back to the fad for
election of United States senators by
the people in the action of the
Virginia State Democratic committee.
That committee is about right in its
act.
Vicksburg is fearful that the build-
ing of a new levy on the lines proposed
will damage the Yazoo river canal
and enters her protest to the United
States government. If the new work
is carried out it may leave Vicksburg
high and dry miles away from the
deep water of the river.
There is a hunting in the pigeon-
holes of the desks for the licenses on
which business is being done in this
old town. The city officers are look-
ing very closely after the returns.
Governor Hogg that was is in St.
Louie. He expresses his sense of the
situation in saying that Texas wants
more money and less taxes opposes
the trusts and favors Bryan and his
16 to 1 policy above all else. This is
pretty nearly the size of it. The
more money is coming just as it has
come to all the other states since ttie
Republicans returned to power. The
16 to 1 is just four years farther away
than it was when Bryan astonished
the earth in 1896.
The government of China is not like-
ly to be usurped by Great Britain but
there will be the British lion at the
door of the China shop to see that the
Russia bear does not attempt to close
that trade opening. The government
at Westminster is severely criticised
at home for a policy that has added
nothing to her prestige abroad or to
her credit at home. This is the penal-
ty that is paid for attempting to pro-
tect the interests of the nation and
ever will be.
Talk is cheap when it comes to vent-
ing splenetic opinions on acts of gov-
ernment. but when a deliberate at-
tempt is made to discredit a great na-
tion and all its foreign acts as is be-
ing done by the Democratic party in
arranging for the next national cam-
paign. there is going to be a speaking
out on the part of the people that will
be heard from Alaska to Florida.
What the government has been natur-
ally forced to in Cuba and the Philip-
pines will be endorsed.
There is not one serious doubt that
the government could get a hundred
thousand men for service in the Philip-
pines were it necessary but it is not
and the country is assured that a call
for troops will not be made unless it
is absolutely necessary to make such
a call. The administration at Wash-
ington is not rattle-brained and is in
close touch with the best elements of
the people. What it Is determined to
do. will be tn the line of the general
desire.
Mr. and Mrs. Hanna are going to
Europe for a season but if he is alive
Mark will call the next Republican
convention to order. After that he
will take what place the convention
says.
