lot OF u country newspaper is not the
best, but II publishers would run theii
business just like other business men
and demand pay promptly, they would
get along much better.
TIM "clique" Is what the Express
terms H., and the Express ought to know
But II was really Mexican rule, and con.
siderlng the fact that that element took
about an even dozen OF all the offices al
the disposition Of the convention, gives
soricr bilious look to the straighoui
part of the Democracy OF Bexar county
The edition Of the Blanco Star Nindi-
Gator says: ave noticed while In San
Antonio that Notwithstanding the gen.
eral cry Of hard times among the bust
ness men, there Is n steady improvement
going on. New houses were being
erected on every hand. which shows
that the growth OF the city Is healthy

TuE burden of Mr.. Hendricks speeches
Ii that there should be a change. That
ut the end OF 20 years there ought to be
n change Of political management, and
that no party ought to stay In power
longer than that. Considering the fact
that Mr.. Hendricks Is n Democratic can
didate for Vice President this Is exceed
ingly modest In him.
" TIE Austin people want to make n
success of their "free" University, they
will have to cause grand tumble In the
prices Of students board, and an appeal
TO the balance OF the State for contribu-
tlons to permanent fund, is in very bad
taste. Austin gets the benefit Of the
University, and 1t should make II equal
to other institutions Of the kind in every
particular.
"AT one time" says the New York
Sun, 1--WE thought II possible TO support
Mr.. Cleveland as u candidate, still later
we thought he should be preferred to
Mr.. Blaine; but now we see that both
these views Of him were mistaken. lie
ought not to be supported. Grover
Cleveland should be withdrawn as n
candidate by the indignant voice Of the
deluded and outrage Democracy"
Tnrpeople of Cleveland are very much
troubled by incendiaries, and already
property has been destroyed amounting
to millions, with n daily record of fires
that is appalling. A sire bug" can
hardly be olassed as human, and all the
country would quietly consent II the
authorities should arrest and make an
example Of few of the parties who are
writing anonymous letters telling bust
ness men that their stocks will be In
ashes. 1t is u reign of terror from which
Cleveland will not recover until she or
naments a few lamp posts with the
bodies of few OF the miscreants who
are doing the damage now.
The Austin Capital, abiding to the
statement that Fort Worth was
u city OF charters. says: 1.-The moneyed
men of Fort Worth seem to have conf
dence in each other, and are not afraid
to associate their capital In pri rate or
public enterprises. With them 1t Is
only necessary to make 1t appear that
there are private profits In venture, or
outcome for the city in an improvement,
to bring them together in corporate
bodies. They assemble on the first call,
and hesitation is not one Of their meth
DDS. Subscriptions are promptly made
by the people, a charter Is obtained, or
ganization takes place and the boom
rises. The corporation law of Texas ID
most liberal in aflording facilities for
the association of capital in all branches
of business, as well as for the protection
of stockholders against assessments and
liabilities in excess of stock subscribed
and no community in Texas under
stands Its advantages OF its dangers bet
ter than the shrewd, intelligent and far
seeing merchants and capitalists of Fort
Worth. BY utilizing 1t they have built
great city, and amassed many private
fortunes, and they have not exhausted a
life time In the achievement" This Is
the secret of 1t all. Confidence In one
another and in their enterprises, with
desire to push them forward at all
times. San Antonio could well profit
by.the.example.
A WRITER on "Men and Things" in
the New York Tribune says: "Mr
Blaine's nomination has been produc.
tive of the most extraordinary results on
our people ever known in Presidential
election since Llncoln's time. 1t has de.

ers who perceive that this contest is q
fight for our American system which
has made the whole country rich and
put 1t out of the power OF any nation In
Europe to cram its doctrines and goods
into the Republic. What would be
thought in England, for example, of the
people, If they when at the summit o.
prosperity brought about by bold
and stable line Of policy, were to turn
