| SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM.
Qnite number OF Senagambia's repre-
sentatlves have been in attendance upon
the district court the past week. 1t is a safe
estimate to say that three-fourths of the
crimes committed in this country is the
work OF ignorant negroes, and nearly the
entire remaining one,iOurth the deeds of

| WORTH CONSIDERING.
While our Legislative solons are labOring
| with the school land problem, IL might be
| wise for some one of them to secure the
| adoption OF measure authorizing the state
| to have its mineral interests deyelOped by
leasing mineral lands for long term of
| years, say forty years. for a per cent of re-
turns from their development, 1t is only
| by such means that the resources of the
mineral regions may ever be developed.

While the Times regrets the existence of
| such state OF Ghngs in Galveston county,
IL IS not necessary for one TO go away from
this city in order to find bosses, indeed we
thlpk that San Antonio is as well supplied
with bosses as Galveston, but their inau-
ence cannot last much longer In this CITY.

have the right to vote, can do so with per

we have government by the people.-TSan

IRRESISTIBLE LOGIC.
The boss" reason for not wanting the
insan easylum branch at Fort Worth, is
given by citizen OF thai place in a letter
TO the press, over the signature of "D."
lie says the institution would consume all
the butter and eggs aud vegetables in that
section. That writer is no doubt bemoan-
| ing the fact that Fort Worth has become a
lively little city, because it makes property
and rents so high, and rushing business
wears out the streets and sidewalks so fast.

EVIDENTLY APPRECIATES HIMSELF.
AS the Age is in q large measure respon-
sible for the appointment of Jeemes New
comb to the San Antonio postmastership
1t very reasonably feels anxious that Mr..
Newcomb shall be dillgent and careful IN
the performance Of the duties of the oiiicc,
1T was on the recommendation of the Age
that Mr.. johnson was made postmaster at
this city, and the postmaster.g general, in Il
letter to the editor Of the Age, assures us
that there is not an office in the United
States with the management of which he is
better satisfied. He also says, that, recon-
mendations of the Age are always treattd
with distinguished consideration in his de.
