II Is possible that there could be too
much of good thing in the regulation
OF certain establishments In a sanitary
way, and correspondent in the LiGn1
yesterday alluded to the matter. If these
little soap factories were located In the
heart OF the city, and the population
was dense around them, there might be
some reason to regulate them, but when
they are so far on from the centre OF
population and business as the lower
end of South Laredo street, there Is
possibility that there is an overlooking
of more important infringements to get
at something not absolutely necessary.

liz TIE editorial correspondence Of the
Corpus Christi Caller, il the following
on the subject OF sewerage; "a stran-
ger notices at once that the cutters OF
the principal streets will not drain the
water the distance Of square. The
streets are Of low grade and cutters
have no fall at all. Filth and dirt gather
and can he removed only by carriage.
1t Ia allowed to accumulate till It dries,
when 1t must be removed with a pick
and shovel. Digging the cutters out
with pick is not an uncommon sight.
Were 1t only matter Of Identifying the
streets, the agitation of the question Of
sewers and paved streets during the
hard times would seem unnecessary
and probably unreasonable. But the
health and the lives Of 10000 people de-
mand that the city have clean streets
and perfect system Of sewerage. Now
Ia the time to do the work before the
hot summer comes to breed out OF the
filth fsvers and disease. San Antonio

his unfortunate comrades. by Mexican
authorities at Goliad, on March q, 1886.

It is about the highest monument in the

W. l.. Hunter was present at the COM
pletlon OF the monument. He is one Of
the only two living survivors of'the
massacre. The other is John G. Duval,
who is now believed to be somewhere In

old hero that his life was spared to wit

The New York Tribune says: "Sena-
tor Eustis' criticism of the admlnistra-

good deal OF dissatisfaction in Demo
cratic ranks. The old war horses do
not relish being laid aside 10 please Sec
rotary Bayard's obscure friends. But so
far as the grievance of Senator Eustis Is
concerned, 1t calls for no sympathy from
Republicans. lie is the product OF the
worst ring Of politicians that ever dis
graced the State OF Louisiana, and that
ia saying COED deal. Had that ring
not committed the most outrageous
frauds, Senator Eustls would not be
serving term in the Senate. His griev-
ance arises from the fact that the Presi-
dent chose for naval officer Democrat
whose sense of deoenoy was enough to
lead him to vote for II Republican in
preference to ring candidate"

OK THE subject of gambling, the Fort
Worth Gazette says: 1.-The action OF
County Attorney Bowlin will meet the
cordial approval Of every man who adj
vocates enforcement OF the law. The
law to prevent gambling was made to
prevent gambling-not to offer cities an
opportunity to compromise with and
profit by what the law forbids. II pub
lie sentiment does not approve the law,
let the people elect men to the Legisla-
ture who will repeal the offensive law;
but MS long MS the law Is on the statute
books let it be enforced The views Of
men as to the effect of gambling on the
business of town need not be consi-
dered; nor do the views OF individuals
as to the proper and most practical treat
ment Of gambling by the law avail any
thing. The one question Is, shall the
law now on the statute books be en-
forced? And we must believe that every
man who favors the enforcement OF the
law will sustain Mr.. Bowlln's course
and lend approval to his discharge of a
sworn duty"

THR Pail Mall Gazette says: "One OF
the ablest and most philosophical
writers of our day discourses in the
Quarterly concerning the hollowness of
our so'called age of progress. The con-
clusion at which he arrives is that there
Is very much of a muchness in man, ana
that the heir Of all the ages in the fore
most files of time differs but In a thin
veneer from the aboriginal savage. Says
this melancholy moralist: Like the saw
age, the Englishman, Frenchman, or
American makes war; like the sa rage,
he hunts; like the savage, he dances;
like the savage, he INDUCES in endless
deliberation; like the savage, he sets an
extravagant value on rhetoric; like the
savage, he is a man Of party, with a
newspaper for totem, instead of q
mark on his forehead or arm, and, like a
savage, he is apt to make of his totem
his god. He submits to having these
tastes and pursuits denounced in books,
speeches, or sermons; but he probably
derives aouter pleasure from them than
from anything else he does"

POLITICAL ITEMS.

Our distinguished senators have had
quite craze lately upon the subject Of
bouquets, and when any senator is SO for
tunate as to be presented with flower,
some flowers, or even green leaf with
which to adorn his political button-hoIe,
he is the envied and observed member.
Senator Thornton seems to be the lucky
one, but it must be his fascinating ways,
instead of luck. which makes him the
recipient of bouquets and baskets Of
flowers ...
Senator Tate can boast Towering plant
which stands upon his desk, and was the
gift of fair maiden, while Senator Grit
tenden wears quite regally the Aowery
honors showered upon him.
Senator Crockett, the gentleman whose
blood is so blue, is the Chesterfield of the
senate, while our particular friend, Senator
Hicks, for his pleasant way, is jokingy
called by the younger members, the
f" dudel"
The two bachelors of the Senate, Sena
tor Smith and Senator Williamson, occupy
a seat together, which unfortunately is 50
far back the gentlemen can't be seen from
the gallery, unless their ideas are opposed
in regard to a bill, the Free Pass Bill for
instance, when in the heat of argument the
champions, for and against, step boldly into
view.

MISS JEAN L0UGHB0R0UfH.

In spite Of the sleet and storm Of Mon
day night, the ladies Ct the First Presby-
terian church held their Martha Washing
ton tea party with colonial picture gallery
in the chapel, and the tiny Martha and
George greeted many friends during the
evening.
Mrs. George Washington was imperson-
ated by little Miss Kathleen Jones, young
lady Of five years, and her costume, which
was white satin petticoat, with crimson
velvet court train, square neck with high
ruff and cap was smilingly worn by this
wee maiden. Towards the close of the
evening, when their shyness had some
what worn off, George and Mrs. Washing
ton we're lifted up on platform, and
Martha, with her hand tucked confdingly
in Georges arm, sang in the sweetest baby
voice, with the dearest little lisp, Aud
11dtie 31he.
The Father of his Country was Mr.
Prescott Beidelman, a young gentleman of
tender years, who wore the white wig and
queue most gravely. His costume was the
conventional knee breeches, dress coat with
lowered vest and silver shoe buckles.
The picture gallery was thing of beau
ty, and the powdered beauties of ye olden
time were wildly brought before the audi
ence, making one think of the time when
crinoline was worn to courtesy in, and the
brave old gallants of the colonies made
such stately obeisance to the danes.

fuse perspiration, followed by cold wave
radlatlng from the region of the Potomac.
WHAT BRINGS JOY TO THE DEMOCRACY.

We assure the administration that one
days joyous bouncing of the Republican Of

FOR FOREIGN CONSUMPTION ONLY.
Springfield Union.
The English Conservatives who are wor-
rying over what Mr.. Hendricks said about
equal rights and fair play in Ireland, should
take notice that he produces such sentiments
solely for foreign consumption. He doesn't
crate volubly for equal rights and fair play
in this country.
BUT LIKE THE LATTER HE WILL CONTINUE
TO BEAT HIS RECORD.

In the first eighth of President CleveIand's

cause the present satisfactory rate of prog

THE SHADOW OF A COMING EVENT.
Philadelphia Press
The Washington correspondent of one of
the foremost Democratic journals in the
eountry-the Cincinnati Enquirer-quote
President Cleveland as saying to Democrat
ic office-seeker: "Just have a little patience.
Have little patience and we will get at it
again and go along quite as fast as you
want" This would seem to foreshadow an
early attack of civil service reform.
POLITICAL PROBABILITIES.
Chicago Herald
There is strange mixture of forgetfulness,
ignorance and impertinence in the resent
ment shown by English newspapers at an
expression of sympathy by an American citi-
zen with the Irish struggle for homerule.
The inordinate amount of taffy admins
tered by Mr.. Lowell and Mr.. Phelps seems
to have left the British stomach in a super
sensitive condition. The sole ground of the
irritation now betrayed is the fact that Mr.
Hendricks, who happens to be Vice Presi-
dent. permitted himself to avow at meeting
in indianapolis his satisfaction at the pros
pect of lreland's obtaining the same measure
Of self government as is enjoyed by the in
habitants of one of the United States or of
the Canadian Dominion. Even if there were
anything improper or offensive in such dec
laration, it would not lie in English mouths
to call us to account for it.
The Portland daily press., 1885-09-15

For some years past the women of Boston
nave enjoyed the privilege of voting for
members of the school committee, but have
not very generally exercised it. This year
there appears to be a prospect of quite large
vote. For some reason the Irish have become
interested, and there is strong probability
tnat considerable number of them will go
the polls. The cause of this sudden
awakening is not quite clear. The OBJ
yious explanation seemed to be that the Ro-
man Catholic clergy were at the bottom of it:
but Archbishop Williams says that such is
not the fact, and that heis opposed to women
taking part in politics under any circum-
stances Other members of the clergy ap-
preached on the subject make denials similar
to Archbishop Williams's. Another expla
nation is that the Irish had been influenced
to register by foolish story set afioat to the
effect that it was the intention of the school
board to remove all teachers of Roman Cath
ole faith. But whatever the explanation it
appears to be a fact that considerable num-
Der of the Irish female population intend to
participate in the next election for school
committee
