The Fort Worth Gazette builds the
following sensible sermon from an item
in the LIGHT to the effect that this city
"needed Peter Smith" The Gazette
says; "San Antonio needs Peter
Smith, is the groan of the SAN ANTONIO
LIGHT. The admission tells the tale. 1t
is liberal, far-seeing, progressive men,
who have means and the nerve to spend
money, who build up cities in this prac-
teal age. Natural advantages pale in
to insignifloance when confronted with
human energy; capital reverses the con-
dltions imposed by geography; dozen
live men in any community, actuated by
common spirit to push their town, can
accomplish wonders. If they will show
their faith by their works, they will in
spire the whole community to cooperate
with them, and there grows up local
sentiment that is irresistible and ever
progressive. The San Antonians need
go no further than Fort Worth for an H.
lustration. Take 1t five years ago and
to-day. What II is is solely due to its
people. We hope to see better spirit
prevail at San Antonio. 1t ought to
have $1,000 population right now and
100000 10 years from now. 1t is rich and
amply able to carry out schemes and
measures to promote its growth and
prosperity. If it will spend money in
building railroads, grading, sewering
and paving streets, inducing manufac-
turing enterprises to locate there, etc.,
the big, fine stores will speedily be filed
with stocks of merchandise, the empty
residences will have occupants, and San
Antonio will prosper as she has never
yet prospered. But as certain as the sun
rises her local capitalists must lead in
this work II they wait for the renters,
who are the consumers in any town, and
therefore the basis of its prosperity, to
furnish the means, there will be little or
no improvements. We have a kindly
feeling for San Antonio, and wish with
the LIGHT that she had Peter Smith.
Perhaps one will rise up"

THANKS to the prompt and energetic
measures taken by Mayor French San
Antonio la to-day one Of the cleanest
cities in the South, both as regards the
streets and the premises Of citizens, and
the following from the Boerne Register
is published simply to show outside
opinion: "Cholera is reported on Its
steady way westward. 1t has reached
Paris, Russia, Italy and Roumania. Its
march is slow, but sure and deadly.
Nothing in the shape Of quarantine can
arrest its infection. The germs are In
the air and feed and multiply wherever
filth abounds. Its only eilectual enemy
is cleanliness and thorough sanitary
regulations vigorously carried out, and
Is the only reliable quarantine that
cities can depend upon. When II will
have reached this. country and strikes
such cities as San Antonio, without
drainage and with its lazzaroni quarters,
II will be utterly impossible TO arrest
the devastating scourge.'

Ir MUST be some satisfaction to the old
wheel horses Of the Democratic party,
who have grown grey battling in its
cause, to know that the New York Sun
sizes Mr.. Cleveland up to his real stand

tent to I'LL the high position to which he
has been nominated. The Sun says:
"Between Blaine and Cleveland we sim
cerely prefer Cleveland, not because we
think he is qualified or deserving, but
because we can't stand Blaine, and be-
cause the Republican party ought to go.

mistake in printing the cuts Of Cleveland

well. This is an instance where the tail

UNDER the head Of hint to San An
tonic, the Corpus Christi Caller says
"If San Antonio should make Corpus
Christi the gulf terminus Of her pro-
posed railroad, 1t would get the cattle
shipping Of this entire Southwestern
country. If any otherpoint is made the
terminus that great extent Of stock
country lying between this point and
the Rio Grande would still be without
the needed transportation and would
leave the path open for a competing
stock road with the San Antonio road.
The shipments of cattle from this sec
tion will cut large figure in railroad
traffic in the future, and will be such as
to encourage direct outlet by rail.
This, together with other advantages Of
Corpus Christi, mentioned elsewhere,
should convince San Antonio that this
point should be the gulf terminus Of the
road. Make this great Southwestern
cattle territory tributary to your road
and your enterprise will be a success
from the start. If Corpus Christi is
made the terminus large number Of
stock men will subscribe literally, 9TH
erwise they will not"
