Our Drive.

Uur Drive.
In speaking of the city drives said
prominent citizen yesterday "The
recent action of the. common council
in designating and setting aside San
Bernard street as a public drive -ex-
empting said street from the provisions
prescribed by the city ordinance, greg
ulating fast riding and driving"
wise in the extreme and will supply
long felt need, especially among horse
men and horse owners. The everlast-
ing cry of" No place to drive" will
soon be thing of the past, and her
after there will be little excuse for
reckless driving along our crowded
thoroughfares."
San Bernard street is situated three
blocks west Of the new university
building north and south,
and is really the only straight, level
street in the city. 1t is free from
rock and stone, and the character of
the soil is such that little or no dust
will result from continual or excessive
USE The street Is of sufficient length
for driving purposes, is properly situ-
ated off of the main Travelled road,
hence speeding thereon will in no way
interfere with the general travel.
These are but few of the many reaS-
ons that could be given Sh owing the
wisdom aud pfopriety of tue selection
of the street, above all others, as
the one most admirably suited for the
purpose. San B"rnard street is des-
tined, in the Lear future to become
the resident street of Austin. Values
have appreciated over one hundred
per cent. in the last year, and continue
to advance. Every lot on the west
side of the street, from one end to the
other, have found ready purchasers at
increased prices. No less than half
dozen elegant dwelling will be erected
the coming summer. Among the prop
erty holders now on the street we
might mention Perry Day, Walter
Graham, G. A. Starlight, J. S. Muir,
Ed. Christian, George Sampson. f. w.
Turner. DIR. Fisher, Judge Dibrill,
Mr.. Mathis and many others.
A subscription list is being freely
circulated among the property owners,
hCr5emen and citizens generally-al-
ready literally signed. The funds thus
obtained to be devoted to grading and
otherwise improving the street and
putting it in proper shape for driving
purposes. 1t is expected several hun
dred dollars i'll be raised in this man.
ner. and that the city fathers, when in
position to do so, will sub stantially
assist in making this drive second to
none in the south.

The TwO-Thirds Rule.

IL 1on U 1DIOS50bCu co.
1t is not going to be either.
The assulting column is too light.
The democrats understand too
clearly its many advantages.
They remember it's glorious services
in the past.
They have not forgotten the record
of the assailants.
They will never forget that.
The democracy of Texas is not COM
posed Of escaped lunatics.
If adhering to the old and well-tried
principles and policies constitutes
mossbackism, then the Texas demo-
cracy must plead guilty to the News
charge.
Only accepted democrats have a
right to voice in fixing the rules of
the party.
The News is not an accepted demo-
crat.
Neither is Hal. Greer.
Nor yet is the Dallas Herald.
And neither is the Houston Post.
1t must win it's spurs ere it may as
siSt at reconstruction of democratic
rules.
| is a hard task for us to draw this
rule against the Gazette.
But we didn't make the rule.
And neither did we form the Ga
Zettes policy.
1t must stand from under-either
come under de 'brellar or stay out in
de wet.
The News has been telling us of
those who are opposed to the two
thirds rule.
1t does not name those in favor
of it.
Coke is in favor of it.
Maxey is in favor of it.
Mills is in favor of the rule.
So is Lanham.
So, too, is John II. Reagan,
Throckmorton,
Jones and
Culberson.
These, together. about one hun
dred thousand majority of the rank
file, it is hoped, will be sufficient to
prevent the introduction Of the pro
posed entering wedge of disintegra-
ton.
The two thirds rule is measurably
safe.
The Waco meeting did not put en-
thusiasm into hearts of the disinteg-
rators.
They are dazed, and
The News would flop if only there
was graceful opportunity.
Let no friend of the two thirds rule
feel the least alarm.
1t will be retained.
1t ought to be retained.
Its retention means harmony.
Its abrogation would indicate the be-
ginning of the end.
Stand by the safety valve of demo
cratic ascendency in Texas.
Miss MAY WITT, that most charm
ing representative of that charming
paper the Sunny South, is the ne plus
ultra of solicitors. There is that in
her bright eyes. sparkling face, and
in her musical voice which just knocks
the average Texan out in jiffy. She
takes scalps and subscriptions with
equal certainty. Don't try to get
away from her. 1t is impossible.

THE old alcalde seems coming to the
front in a quiet sort of way which
promises immediate results. Because
man keeps still one mustn't jump to
the conclusion that he is dead. Now
the old alcalda isn't dead, and but for
his announcement against the two
thirds rule would be one of the very
best factors in the politics of the
state. 1t is astonishing the hold "the
old mpn1 has on the people of Texas.
TlIF Gazette is trying to keepstroke
with the News on the anti-two-thirds
racket. This was ever wretchedly
bad thing to do on any question, but
more especially one affecting party
policy. The News win lead the Ga
zet.e out into deep water. and then
abandon it, with as few compunctions
as the cook decapitates spring chicken
with. The charm of the serpent is
never SO powerful as when he means
to make q breakfast of the victim. Let
the Gazette never forget tn awful
truth.

THE ERASPING LOCAL BANK.
1t Refuses to Accept Any More Paper
and s'Snch Trash,"


The local bank refuses to discount
notes. This places some people in a
very embarrassing situation. Hereto.
fore, thanks to the banks leniency,
they would run up bills regardless OF
consequences, and when dunned
would give their notes. When these
notes fell due they would take them
up with new ones. One party or the
other would pay the interest, and
everything would run smoothly until
the next settlement. TO be sure, it
went against the grain of some to even
pay the interest on their debts; vet
all managed to get along somehow.
But. TO and behold (as Congressman
WOODBURY., OF Nevada, would OK.
claim the avaricious bank has come
down like wolf on the fold, aud pos
't'vely refuses to take any more paper.
Even the newspaper men will have to
pay the hard coin or its equivalent in
currency!
This cannot long be borne, and II
the bank does not soon recede from
its position, the newspaper men OF
Wood River (more or less so-calledA
will have to start bank OF their own

public, why, there appears to be aoth.

The Land Suit Against Mr.. Eikins.

New York, July 1.-The suit of the Land
Company of New Mexico limited, against
Stephen B. Elkins and Others to establish its
title to aone-fifth interest in the tract of land
in New Mexico known as the Mora tract or
grant, came before Judge Lawrence, to-day, in
the Supreme Court, upon motion to continue
the injunction restraining Elkins from making
any conveyance or from transferring to any
other party any portion of the land in dispute
about $4,000 acres It is claimed that Elkins
had acquired more than two-thirds Of
the property, and was seeking to absorb the
remainder, and was threatening to sell the whole
tract Tor seventy cents an acre, which is below
its real value. By consent Of counsel, the motion
was postponed until the first Monday in Septem-
Der. When Judge Lawrence was informed Of this
he suggested that it might be better to postpone
the motion to later day, as Mr. EllSins's busiest
season would be about September. BY the order
entered adjourning the notion the injunction is
continued except that it is modified SO far as not
to prevent or restrain Mr.. Etkins from making
any conveyance or disposition he may desire of
his own individual share or interest in the land
in so far as he would be at liberty to do SO had
this suit not been brought
