The excursion to FloreSviIle on Thurs
day, over the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass Railroad, is more than picnic in
every sense possible. For more than -
years this line has been talked about,
and its advantages to San Antonio fully
discussed. The opening Of one-tifth Of
the road, more than proved the early
predictions. as shown by the business
done by it, San Antonio can rejoice
with Floresville that they are connected
by line that will in time prove to be
one of the most important in Texas.
The weather permitting, there will no
doubt be large attendance.

"Ir T. often stated and generally be
litycd." says the Chicago Inter Ocean
"that the prices charged by retail deal
or, i'm various liues of trade are excess
siyc. This view is shared by the pub
lie. and writers on economies sometimes
advance the same opinion, based, as
they claim. upon the difference between
the wholesale and retail price paid for
goods such us groceries, meats, dry
goods. et1 Some 20 50 far us to Affirm
that the most grinding monopOlies are
not the sO-callcd great Institutions or
systems or corporations, but rather the
retailers who make it SO expensive to
live by their nigh rates for various ar
ticles of household consumption. How
ever this may be, a statistician has been
investigating the subject and calls at
tention to several points OF Interest
which are set forth in the American
Grocer OF recent date. Attention is
directed to the value Of the service de-
manded Of the retailer. its cost and risk,
and comparison is suggested between
these and the investment of the time
and money Of the banker, the manuiac-
turcr, the professional man, and persons
employed in the civil service. 1t is con-
tended that the gross profits of a retail
grocer average the country over not
about IL per cent, of which per cent.
ia required for the cost Of the service.
This is averred to be particularly true in
the larger cities, rs shown in the increased
cost Of supplying rich families over
poorer ones, Involving palatial stores,
educated clerks. calling for orders, de-
livering goods, q greater variety Of the
stock Of Injuries, etc. And attention Is
directed TO the bulk of the retailers
trade being made up of perishabe
goods, -uch as dairy products, eggs,
poultry, fish. vegetables, fruits, etc,
while the staples are sold at cost or
nearly cost, and the profit must come in
somewhere else, or on the fruits, spices,
fancy groceries, and luXuries generally.
1t is held that the retailers capital and
labor yield an income much below what
is received for a similar Investment of
time and money in almost any other
reputable trade or calling. The state
ment Is adyanced.that the sales OF a ma
jority of the retail grOcers in large cities
will not reach $4,000 Il year. If his
net profit is per cent, based on the
cost Of the goods, his income would, on
that amount of sales, be 5000, out of
which ne must live, meet bad debts,
keep up and increase his business, etc.
1t is shown by this shrewd statistician
that a dealer who sells $4,000 worth
of goods year has an income of $S2S,
which is equal to the salary Of a chorus
girl in an opera company; if he sells
$4,000 worth his income is the same as
that of policeman; and if he should
do business of 100000 a year he will
have a salary equal to that of French
cook

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is in favor Of
preserving the public lands for settlers.
Theoretically, such policy is 4 good
one, but the average statesman does not
step to consider that in nine cases out Of
ten the settler on western lands came
from farming communities. Kansas ana
Nebraska quarter sections were home
steaded by farmers sons almost cNclu-
sively, and it has never been shown that
labOring men, as laborers, became pio-
Deers.

THE ROckPort Transcript, speaking o.

Major G. II. Butts, United States In

says: IF deep-water harbor is what
the people Of the State want, 1t can be
most speedily and most economically Sc
cured at Arkansas Pass" The total APP
propriatiOns for Arkansas Pass aggregate
but $4,000 and Of this sum about S3O,-
900 was expended on the end OF Mus
tang island which was being washed
away By the action Of the waves, ana
other expenses to the amount OF about
$4,000 more was incurred, says Major
Butts, improvements necessary on
theshore, and in repairs rendered neGes-
sary by damage during stOppages while
waiting for appropriations, which would
probably reduce the amount expended on
the jetty work proper, and which only
could have effect in deepening the chan

have received the $2JO,OO0 crumb which
Galveston refused to eat and brushed it

hundred thousand dollars. The Traps
Cript asserts that there il not place on
the cOusl Of Texas which has exhibited
such vast improvements as that effected
at Arans Is bar; and that, too, with APP
preparations which aggregate only $500
900. The above facts clearly demon
strate that AransQs Pass deserves recog-
milton and should receive the S5DO,WOO
appropriation asked by Colonel Mans

thoroughly investigated every thing

The death Of Or. j. |. Lighthall. will
probably spread the senseless smallpox
panic. Owing to the prominence Of DR..
Lighthall it will be telegraphed to the
wide world, and will to a very large ex-
tent create the impression that the dis
ease exists here in a dangerous form.
This will be great injustice to this
city, as 1t is not warranted by the facts.
Under the circumstances it is no sur
prise that DIR. Lighthall took the dis
ease, quite to the contrary, it would in
deed have been one had he escaped. His
free treatment invited every poor vaga-
bond to solicit the doctors services, and
daily he rubbed and pulled teeth for
hundreds. If there was any smallpox
in existence it would be among the
very class who would apply to a
free street doctor, seeking relief from
the premonitOry symptoms. The dis
ease is confined to the very outskirts Of
the city in neighbOrhOods removed from
the benefits of the water-wOrks system,
and among the very poorest Of Mexicans.
sporadic case of smallpox amOngthese
people is quite common, and no cause
for alarm. There are now very few
cases in existence, and they are well in
hand, with every precautiOn taken
against its spreading. If these facts
could be made known to those who read
In the dispatches Of the death Of Or.

various parts of the State indicate
that the "third party" prohibition
vote will be lighter in Michigan this
fall than it was two years ago. There
have been gains in some towns and
heavy losses in other towns-gains
in some places where the prohibition
vote was very light two years ago
and losses where the vote of that
party was then strongest. The out
look of the "third party" is not very
encouraging to its ambitious leaders.
The success of the temperance
movement has been so much greater
in those states IN which the question
has been kept entirely out of politics
than 10 those states in which it has
been forced as a political issue, that
the temperance people begin to get
their eyes fairly open to the fact that
the "third party" scheme is failure.
