for sewerage, circumstance which Ia
entitled to no small weight since they
will have to pay the largest taxes for
the redemption of the bonds. We think
the bonds can be paid without trouble,
or oppression, inasmuch as 20 years from
now San Antonio should have 5000 in
habitants, and quadruple the value of
property at present assessed. The con-
struction of the sewers will give en-
ployment to number of working men,
and in that way be God send to them
during the present dull period. Aspoor
men and their families cannot fly from a
city, when sickness breaks out in it, like
the rich, they are really more deeply in
tereeied in sewerage than any other
class, and should look at it from this
standpoint The hopes the PROPOSE
lion will receive n unanimous vote, as
there should be no diversity of senti-
ment upon the question of preserving
the health of the city.

of this talk about editors being "malig-

The people of San Antonio should

Its untarnished reputation as health

exemption from malarial diseases. All
are interested in shutting out mslarial
diseases as well as in the continued
growth of the city, and should evince
such interest by heartily supporting
every rational scheme of improvement
which is devised. The men of wealth

The Fort Worth Gazette, in its COM
ments upon our reply TO Mr.. Richard
Nelson, betrays either q eat ignorance or
great unfailness, and 1t may take either
horn Of the dilemma. 1t asseIis that
the same qualifications which are re-
quired from voters entities one to hold
office, an assertion without any founda-
ton in fact or truth. The big, preten-
sious papers pay small attention to ac-
curacy and indulge in hardihood of as
sertion. A man may vote at 81. but he
Is not eligible for Congress until he has
attained the age of %, nor for the United
States Senate until he is 80. A foreigner
who has been naturalized can vote for
any and all offices, but he himself is not
eligible for President. In Texas men
can vote but they are not eligible for
various offices unless they have resided
here two years. A person who had
never read law would MOI be eligible fol-
Supreme or District Coult Judge though
he was legal voter, nor would persons
unable to read and write be eligible TO,
Collector of Customs, Postmaster, etc.
though legal voters. The Gazette and
Its party saw no harm either before OF
after the war in illiterate white mer
voting, but they are Mortified wher
llllterate negroes vote, proving thai
iiiiteracy is no objection, but merely
color and race prejudice. An illiterat,
negro is as competent to vote as ar
illiterate white man.

MoRRIsoN's tariff bill was still-born.
1t pleases no one except Morrison. 1t
reduces the duty on foreign wool two
cents per pound and will delight Texas
sheep growers. 1t removes all duties
from foreign iron and copper ores, and
proposes TO reduce duties on duilable
goods and articles "a per cent, and to
substitu e, partly, ad valorem duties for
specific duties. 1t is botch and blum
der. Even the donkeyism of Frank
Hurd, Of Ohio, leads him to give Morri-
sons baby kick. Sensible men, of
course, oppose the brat.

THE LAND OF DREAMS.

Oh, land of dreams Oh, beautiful land which
borders the unknown shore
Whose realms are filed with the loved and
lost, whom we meet on earth no morol
Land where the weary and worn may rest
where the king and the serf lie down;
Where the serf may walk in realms as fair as
he who wesreth the crown.
With the loving and loved Of our youth we
wander by golden streams
We reck not Of care, of wealth or loss, in that
beautiful land of dreams
The maid whom we loved in halcyon days,
whose bed lies under the snow,
Fits back and forth in the land Of dreams
with the beauty of ''long ago;n
Her bright eyes shine with the sparkling
glance of the olden happy days
And our hearts again renew their youth
meath the radiance of her gaze.
We live whole years Of joy at once as the
sunlight on us CLEANS,
Whole years of joy that have nc night, In the
beautiful land of dreams
The love, the hopes and the knowledge vast
that we yearn for in waking hours
we gaJher In When we onuer Inere as bno
earth drinks in the showers;
We climb the hills of the unknown land-the
land by no mortal trod--
Behold the palace wherein our home, whose
builder and maker is God
And brightly its walls of jasper shine as the
sunlight on it CLEANS;
Its gates of gems and its streets Of gold that
-, we see in the land of dreams.
Oh, land of dreams Oh, mystical land be-
tween the known and unknown,
There reigns no king in thy vast domain, each
dream is king alone.
He knoweth naught of the mystic realm,
cares not where its confines end
He asketh not, for upon its shores he meeteth
his long-lost friend
Oh, land of dreams oh, beautiful land, where
the sunlight ever CLEANS
May we enter the unknown land named
Heaven from the beautiful land Of dreams.

WISE WORDS.

Wear a cheerful countenance. If your
mirror won't smile on you, how can you
expect anyEsody else will9
Public discussion is an intellectual
stamping mill, where the worthless quartz
is crushed and the pure gold set free.
1t is much easier to find a score of men
wise enough to discover the truth than
to find one intrepid enough, in the face
Of opposition, to stand up against it.
Great talent for conversation should be
attended with great politeness He who
eclipses others, owes them great civili-
ties; and whatever a mistaken vanity
may tell us, it is better to please in con-
versation than to shine in it.
IT is of the essence of resource that it
usually lies dormant, and often unsus-
pected, until necessity awakens it. It is
a draft pay able on demand, the very de-
mand being essential to create the assets.
In word, it needs the power of the
moment to evoke the 'power of the
man."
The supreme gifts of the gods can
neither be discussed nor deserved. Be-
lieye in happiness; expect it; make room
for it in your life Have faith! Faith
moves mountains. And happiness is of
the swift-footed immortals, and descends
only on the garlanded altars of her wor-
shippers.
Intelligence and energy and conscien-
tiousness, all united, can never evolve
true justice if sympathy be absent from
the heart. This is no merely abstract
and impractical idea. 1t lies at the root
Of moral education and self-culture, for
it declares that just conduct depends
upon right feelings, and cannot be de-
veloped without them.
To feel with and for others-what
glorious widening out and enriching of
ones life that is How it increases our
joys because of the pleasure that we take
in the joys of othersl How it renders
selfish brooding over our own woes i'm
possible because of the sympathy we
must give to the sorrows of others Not
generosity only, not d-heartedness
only, nor courtesy, nor unselhshness, nor
keen perception, nor quick understand
ing-it is all these and more than these.
We should never estimate the sound
ness of principles by our own ability to
defend them, or consider an objection as
unanswerable to which we can find no
reply. 1t is an absurd self-confidence,
especially in young person, to abandon
his principles as soon as he may find him
self worsted in argument There is no
defence against fippant sophistry so eff
fectual as an intelligent modesty. In
deed genuine frmness of mind consists
greatly in an habitual recollection of our
own moderate powers and requirements.
