ST. LOUIS is claiming the largest fall
trade for this season that she has ever
enjoyed. This would indicate a return
ing prosperity to the whole southwest
ern region. Texas is also hopeful of II
better day coming, and not very far from
her doors to-day.

The MAINE elections give cause for re-
publican confidence The plurality vote
Of the republicans this year over the
democrats verges upon 1900. During
the Garfield campaign it was only S,SGS,
and in 1882 1t was S,S72. A determined
effort was made this year to cut down
the republican majority by a cOmbina-
ton Of democrats and prOhibitiOnists, in
order that the dampening effect Of a de-
creased republican plurality might mill
itate against Mr.. Blaine. The attempt
was signal failure. The state which
elected OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
governor in 1880, by a majority OF lS9,
gives the republican ticket II plurality Of
1900 in 1886. This result will be taken
as an augury OF republican success in
ISIS; and in connection with the marked
republican gains In Arkansas, shows
that the spasmOdiC democratic success
of 1854 is already waning to certain de-
feat.
Projection, that does not protect
against foreign products but against
home competition. This is the prOtec-
tion that the free trade democracy have
extended towards American industry.
They cry free trade and open the ports
of America to the free wool OF Australia,
knowing that it will cripple one OF our
greatest industries, and then by way OF
n iuht nj In Of al tn
levy Il tax on the manufacture OF cleo
margarine In the interest OF small class
Of American producers to the disadvant-
age OF the consuming classes of the whole
country. This is fair specimen of the
principle that underlies the action OF Il
free trade democratic congress.
GEORGIA is suffering the consequences
Of the dishonest reputation OF her in
debtedness by her democratic Legislature
in 1874 When the republicans governed
the state, during the reconstruction per-
iOd, Georgia endorsed bonds of railway
companies to the amount of nearly 49,
10000 for the purpose of developing the
resources OF the state. Other bonds
were issued by the state to about an
equal amount. These bonds were sold
in Europe and the eastern states for
from 20 to % cents on the dollar. The
democratic administration of 1874 repu-
pudlated these bonds and the state voted
them unconstitutional. The holders
were left out in the cold. Now comes
the state Of Georgia INTO the money mar
ket desiring to place S3,5OO,OOO, new
state bonds; but the New York Stock
Exchange will not permit the listing OF
the bonds owing to the former fraud of
the state, and this action will seriously
cripple the attempt to negotiate them.
The savings banks of the state of New
York are prohibited by state law from
investing in Georgia state securities, and
thus an other avenue of investment is
cut OIL Georgia may find out in the
end that she would have done better had
she taken Alexander II. Stephens adj
vice, and not repudiated her bonds.

Orr astute city council have deter
mined in their wisdom to pave two
hlOCks on San Fernando street, leaving,
we suppose, n mud-hole at each end,
and will not make any improvements on
Commerce street. Along Commerce
street pass the loaded teams with heavy
freights for our city merchants. From
the |. q q. n. depot 10 the plazas this
street Commerce stree is in many
places impossible for loaded teams.
New wagons, with about two-thirds a
good load, are broken down, goods dam
aged, and packages broken, simply be-
interested In some impracticable scheme
for enhancing suburban property than
in providing for the actual wants OF our
business. 1t is high time that this abom-
Unable disregard OF public needs and
business necessities by the city admin
iStration came to an end. The LIGHT
has called attention more than once to
this utter neglect of the business neces-
stiles of the city in the distribution OF
street improvement funds. The council
at its Mondays session should repeal
their former acts governing the DISPOSE
ton of this street improvement fund
and see that it is expended in such
manner as to meet the needs OF our busi-
ness men. 1t is no credit to the council
that such thoroughfares as Commerce
street are left in an impossible condi-
ton, while thousands of dollars are ex-
pended on outlying streets where, for
the present at least, such work is not re-
quired. Let wisdom govern the council
in this matter, and just regard for the
interests Of the city.

A CITY reporter gives James p. New
combs opinion on the approaching
county convention, to the effect that the
''stralghts" will not be able to muster a
corporal's guard. The military expert
enGe of Mr.. NewcOmb surely is sufficient
to teach him that more than ''cOrpO-
rails guard have already been instruct
ed to vote first, last and all the time
for straight republican nominations"
Is it suspected, or expected, that these
instructed delegates will violate their
instructiOnsin convention? Precedents,
perhaps, might be quoted in favor OF
such course among Bexar county re-
publicans, but the delegates instructed
for straight ticket are not OF that
breed. The convention will show how
many and how few.

ST. JOHN, not st. John the divine, but
st. John the malign, did not get in his
Maine work as effectively this year as
he did his WOrk in New York two years
ago. His thirty pieces Of silver, or its
equivalent, we're paid him all the same,
and with this his small soul should be
content. st. John has never forgiven the
republican party its refusal to give him
another term of the Kansas governor
ship; the republicans have never for
given themselves the sin OF electing him
at all. The only uukind thing the repub-
licans ever did st. John was to give him
an incurable "big head" by eleoting him
governor of Kansas. A minnow before
that event, he has imagined himself
whale ever since.

In endorsing, as a good democrat, the
nomination of Sui. Ross. 1t believed
Swain to be the bitter man, believes so
still,and only votes for the poorer candi-
date because the majority Of the dem
oOracy OF the state insisted on such
course in the convention. Regulating
the Idea Of "crow eating" as persist
emily charged by the Waco Examiner,
the Statesman expresses the opinion
that the Examiner is not posted as to
what crow eating means anyway. The
Statesman must remember that at this
years democratic love feast it was the
province Of the Examiner to crow. To
decide as 1t we're upon the merits of the
crow to be crowed, not upon the crow
to be eaten. AS to the first, the Exam
liner proved itself connoiseur.

THE democracy have Issued their call
as every sensible person must have
known they would, for delegate con-
yention from the several precincts of
Bexar county to nominate full county
ticket and two members for the state
legislature. There is not a shadow Of
debut but that when the election comes
of next November the Bexar county
democracy win be found doing business
at the old stand as they have done every
year sine time immemorial.
The alliance business in state politics
has not PANIED out this campaign. The
anti-monopolists have concluded to ''as-
sist their partners" wherever the oppor-
tunity offers; the prohibitionist candi-
dates In several instances refuse to make
the trump; the greenbackers pass and the
republicans are the only ones left to play
their hand against the democracy. This
they propose to do, notwithstanding
their opponents have both bowers, and

 But we digress We said that some scan
 dal hits lightly and does not see the surface.
 If any does this should. The suppressed,
 concealed scandal is usually the worst, the
 most fragrant. Here is specimen. Last
 Sunday lady '.in good standing" tin the
 community was preparing for baptism in
 one of our city churches. She had attired
 herself for the occasion in her choicest
 robes. Her husband, rejoicing in the purity
 of his wife's domestic life, was equally sat-
 isied with his own high position as a mer
 chant of standing Tn the city. To the sur
 prise of the applicant for 'baptismal" hon. ors, when the hour of purifcation came the reverend dominic refused to perform the service. What could it meant The truth finally leaked out. Murder always will out" and some other things besides murder. It seems that one evening the week previous the lady in question had occasion to visit 8 warehouse in the city for the purchase of some useful household articles. Those on the ground floor did not suit, but a trip on the elevator to the top story and a darkened room brought out in rare display various articles of which she was in search, and from which she was to select. The sales man (the senior partner of the frm) made certain advances (not pecuniary) which were 'smore than pleasing Ina word the salesman and his fair customer proceeded to Hove not wisely but too we'll. ]" Another chance customer, coming up the elevator before the curtain was sfrung down. un- fortunately discovered the guilty couple en- acting the same drama for which some commentators say Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden. A letter to the clergyman who was to perform on the lady the sacred right of baptism the next Sunday was the result Hence neither nor immersion" took place We always supposed that baptism settled all previous accounts with sin. Perhaps we | are "oH." {American and Republican please copy.)

 It is said that this fellow, Thorpe, offered to furnish the management of the silk mill with work-girls for 60 cents day. Per haps he can. But we supposed he had ex- perience enough already, with that north ern horde from Canada. Evidently he has forgotten that little episode in that line which cost him the modest little sum of SIS.

 That rank bigot from the dark spot on civilization, Ulster, Ireland, the Rev. McNichol, is splitting out his vernon up here among the Connecticut hills, and many are properly disgusted. Any good cause is cursed with such an advocate.

MIDDLETOWN.

The excitement still continues over the situation at South Farms. It has been the cause of more public discussion of the La bor question than any thing occurring here for years. The people are all in sympathy with Mr. Hubbard's victims, unless of course some of the old fogies, who look upon labor as commodity to be bought and sold like bushel of potat9es or sack of four A man, you know, has right to hire as cheap as he cam MT. Hubbard imbibes strange kind of democracy when he strives to deprive his employees the privi. lege of association for mutual protection. There is little difference between it and the dictatorship of Russia. Twelve hours a day for women and children, and withhold ing two mouths pay, must be stopped, and the Knights of Labor of Middletown will not rest until it is. Two sets of horses, a big house, and large retinue of servants on one side, with $2.50 per week for a twelve hours day of labor, and no shelter but what's under tribute, on the other side, must not be the standard of civilization m this latter quarter of the 18th century, in this Hand of the free and home of the brave" Messrs.

 An esteemed friend of ours cannot get over THE EXAMINER. He thinks it throws mud.' Now he is away off from the truth. Nothing enters it's columns which is not the truth, or believed to be.
