UNDER the head of "a firm foreign
policy desired" the Baltimore Ameri-
can speaks of the Republican national
ticket as follows: "The people Of this
Republic are proud Of 1t and believe In
It. They hate TO see themselves in an
apologetic attitude, or eating humble
pie. They love to see America repre-
scented at foreign courts by men who are
out-and-out Americans men with no
hankerings after aristooracy or royalty;
men who feel that they have fifty mill
ions of freemen behind them. For the
enemies of Blaine to attack him on the
ground that his foreign policy would be
"rlsky" will not harm him in the eyes of
the people There is very little danger
of war where men are simply firm and
positive in asserting the right. The
danger lies in the timidity which suffers
aggression to the point that it becomes
uncomfortable"

"MR. BEEoHER tells the Baptist minis
tiers that he intends to stand by the old
Republican flag, but not by Mr.. Blaine.
Well, II Is an impossible fact" says the
New York Tribune; "The Republican
party, acting through its fairly chosen,
fairly acting delegates, has placed the
old Republican flag in Mr.. Blaine's
hands. The postofllce address of the
flag will be the hands Of James G..
Blaine, until further notice. Hence 1t is
simply impossible for Mr.. Beecher to
stand by the flag without standing by
the llag-bearer. So far as this campaign
is concerned they are one and insepera-
BILE, and the man who holds differently
might us well say that he stands by Ply
mouth church, but not by Mr.. Beecher."

GENERAL BUTLER has formally accepted
for President, and in his letter defines
his position as real genuine dyed-in-the
wool Greenbacker of the most pro-
nounced type. The distinctive peculiar
ity Of your average Greenbacker, is that
he is always talking about the great
wrongs of the people and the burdens
they bear, just as if the country was
ruled by despot, and Mr.. Butler proves
the faith that is in him when he says:
81 am with you, and if there were but
two of us we ought to stand together
against the great wrong, and call upon
all true men TO stand with us, either in
side or outside. as the case may be, Of
one or the other Of the political organi-
cations which may aim to perfect other
measures for the good of the country.
The interest Of labor, the preservation
Of the lands of the people for the benefit
of the people, the control Of the agencies
created by the Government TO be used
for the good of the people to regulate
and control a system Of Interstate COM
merce, which shall control and cheaper
the transportation ofpersons and freight.
To protect all in their just rights and to
conflne all to their true duties, to the
end that there may be in this country
equal rights, equality of burdens, equal
ity of privileges and equality of the pow
ers of all persons, under the law, has
been the political rule of my life"

The movement now being made to-
wards the building of home road from
San Antonio to some point on the coast,
Is one that is of more than usual inn
portance to the city. San Antonio to-
day, and in the past, possesses and did
possess, a vast number of natural ad-
vantages, but because the tide of capital
and immigration came without any soli-
citation or effort upon the part of the
city, or the expenditure of money, much
that could have been improved was neg
lected, until not only has the interest,
so to speak, of our natural advantages
been squandered, but the capital as
we'll This fact is being realized alike
by all, and while it is not at all compli-
mentary to the enterprise of the city,
that it has so long neglected its grand
opportunities, yet this present railroad
movement will, in measure, atone for
that neglect. The road is needed alike
for the present and the future, and that
it can be built and made prosperous,
there is no reason to doubt. Every citi-
zen should give it his support and en-
enlargement, but the capitalists, the
moneyed men of San Antonio, should do
more. These men who receive small
fortunes every year from rents, who
have had riches thrust upon them,
through the enterprise of their neigh
bors, and who have reaped all the bene-
fits Of the booms of the past, should
make their subscriptions large; 20 men
men in the city should take 100000 of
the stock, and thereby show by their
deeds the faith in the enterprise they
expect others to have. This is the way,
and the only true way, to make it sue
cess 1t is an old saying, but 1t is worth
repeating, that 1t is good business man
who is willing to invest dollar to get
back a dollar and dime.

THE Democrats in different States find
difficulty in making their platforms con-
form to the demands Of the people. Two
delegates in California resigned that
honor because they were dissatisfied
with the State platform, and it is mat
ter worthy Of record that, us examples Of
political honesty, they stand without
rivals. Speaking of platforms, If all the
Democratic State jobs Of this character
should be taken to Chicago, with an
attempt to work them all up into one
grand platform, the great American
patch work quilt would be very tame
affair indeed in comparison with the
varied and positive contrasts which the
political job would display.

will be liberal one. He is the ablest
and most experienced public man to be
found in the Republican party, and if
the country is to have another four
years disqualification, we believe Mr..
Blaine will give more general satisfac-
tion than any other Republican. He
will at least fly the American flag over

that.
