TY-FIFTH YEAR.
THE CANAL SCHEME.
Senator Morgan keeps pegging
away at the Nicaraugan canal.
There is more in the canal scheme
than most of our people think.
This government can afford to en-
dorse its bonds and will be per-
fectly safe, for it will pay a divi-
dend. The Suez canal paid from
the start, and this would be even
a better investment, for it will not
cost so much. Few think how
much it would be worth to the
people of this country. The ship
canal which the city of Manches-
ter has recently opened cost half
as much as this wonld aud yet it
only affected the trade of one city.
The distance saved by it to our
people and the people of the old
world woald soon enable it to pa>
for itself. In our domestic trade
It would pay its cost soon.
From New York to San Fran-
cisco at present by ship is 14,840
miles. By the canal it would be
4946 miles, a saving of 9894 miles,
or nearly 20,000 for a round trip.
It woald save nearly 10,000 miles
between Galveston and San Fran-
cisco. From Liverpool to Hong
Kong it woald be 1265 miles nearer
than by the Suez canal and would
insure that trade.
If the Suez canal with its lets
saving of distance pays so well, the
Nicarauguan enterprise would cer-
tainly pay better. The cost, $70,-
000,000, is a light matter for our
government and it would give a
new impetus to our commerce and
prices:

ernor
standpoint no better selections
could have been made. Yet some
better men for that work could
have been found.
Judge Reagan is old bnt per-
haps knows more about the busi-
ness than any of the others. He
will also be acceptable to a large
class of very good people through-
out the state, who have great con-
fidence in his integrity and ability.
Governor Storey is a sound law-
yer and an able and pure man and
will make a good commissioner.
Texas holds no more high mind-
ed or more honorable patriot than
ex Governor Snl Ross.
But Governor Ross is not fitted
by training and experience for the
work which the third man on the
commission should do. He ought
to be a practical railroad man who
is familiar with all the details of
- ^Iip work. Yet Governor Ross is
put new life into our people, a man of excellent common sense
It would be better to do this at and will soon catch on to the
once and save ourselves the hu- ^or^- incorruptible and
the people will know that there is
! no bribery where he works.

PUSH IT THROUGH.
The gold reserve is l>einir taken
ont by the million every day and
in a little while more bonds will
be called for. Of course if the
secretary would only do what the
law allows and pay out silver, the
trouble would stop. But the
cuckoo song that this would create
trouble can not l>e changed for
more than two years yet, and
something else must be tried.
Mr. Carlisle's banking scheme is
the only thing in si^ht now, and
all good democrats ought to aid in
pushing it through. The free sil-
ver meu ought to help it, because
it in no way interferes with the
coinage of silver unless it be to
create a demand for it. It pro-
vides that no bank bills nnder the
size of #10 be issued. This will
force all the retail business and
smaller transactions to be done in
silver.
The bill will also materially in-
crease the currency iu circulation
and take ont of use a good part of
the greenbacks and Sherman notes
which are now used to draw gold
from the treasury. At any rate
something mast lie done or the
treasury will be bankrupt. If (he
lemocrats fail the republicans will
not, bat we may not like the
remedy they will propose.
.Better all hands join in and
posh the Carlisle plan through.
Last Sunday's Houston Post
was a hammer. It had 44-pages
sion could have been made
stronger, yet we readily see how it
could easily have been made much
weaker.
There will lie little complaint at
these appointments.
There are now #6.000,000 of

Cheap cotton may bless us yet.

Money Is the Lever Whieh Moves the World
Take'it for granted and call at the Gainesville Jewelry Store and
"lever" little money and see what a lot of nice Christmas goods you
can move away with it. Don't be monkeying around until it is too
late and you wish that somebody had kicked you into the Gainesville
Jewelry Store before yon spent all your money and nothing pleasing
or lasting to show for it.
