SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. July |, 1885.


! purchased in this city a package OF Prof.
HOrsfOrd's Self Raising Bread Preparation
and submitted II TO a chemical examination,
and tind that the same is composed OF pure
and nOn-pOisOnOus chemicals.
The idea OF Prof. Horsford was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread. and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-rasing preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.
| can only Join In the endorsement given by
the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron V.
Licbig, to this preparation In saying: 81 con-
slider this invention as one of the most useful
gifts which science has made to mankind"

TEXAS needs little quickening to the
axles Of her progress. 1t would be well
for her to begin with n little quicken
ing OF her railroad speed. The pulse Of
business beats responsive to the move
ment Of the railway trains. Let our
trains take . reef In their moderation
and increase their speed an average OF
say five miles an hour. 1t would be q
great Improvement. The usual passen-
ger train speed through this state is
forty per cent. below that OF nearly
every eastern and northern state.
twenty-five miles an hour Is very
moderate speed and might very adyan-
tageonsly be maintained in all trunk
lines. The schedule time from here to
Austin for instance, should be reduced
to three hours and a quarter. Texas
trains are mighty slow.

SWAIN has no cause to be particularly
disheartened at the result Of the Harris
county convention. The attempt TO in
struct for Ross was q failure, and the
vote to instruct for Swain only lacked 8
votes in total OF 1856 from carrying. or
SWANS plurality in the convention
there never was a question. The dele
CATION to the state convention is largely
a granger delegation, and as they go I'M
instructed there is only one more card
laid face down on the convention table.
There is no certainty rs to the result.
The issue Is not as easily guessed as 1t
was month ago. 1t Is the worst mixed
and most lnextricsbly involved affair
that the democracy OF Texas have ever
had to deal with. There will be more
democratic sore heads metaphorically,
If not literally, when this convention
closes than have been seen in Texas
since 1874. The delegates to the con-
gressional convention were Instructed
for Stewart, first, last and all the time,
and in this alone was the convention
agreed. Will there be harmony at Gal
weston, can there be, when the convcn-
tions have been the scenes OF such gen
eral discord?

THE Waco Examiner is six-mule
team with gilt edged driver when 1t
comes to whoOping it up for candidate.
The work Barlow has done for Sui. Ross
Is immense. No such constant, unre-
hitting. ever recurring boosting has
been done by any journal for any candi-
date In Texas, as the Examiner has
done for Ross. Not the minutest act OF
Ross life that could be tortured into
yielding a point in his favor has been
passed over, matters relevant, irrelevant,
and Indifferent have been seized upon
and utilized for the purpose Of creating
a public sentiment favorable to him.
On the other hand. not II stone has been
left unthrOwn that could possibly
be raised from the quarry Of circum-
stances wherewith to wound or cripple
his opponents. Earth, air and sky; his
tory, profane and sacred; childhood,
youth and manhood; public acts and
private ways-sll have been made to
yield their silent results in blackening
the character OF Swain and Martin.
