whs truly follow his footprints will find
their lives also ascending until some day
some one searching for that life among
the low surroundings of its past and
mournfully conscious Of Its non-presence
will hear the voice Of the resurrection
messenger, saying, "He is not here; He
ia risen" This resurrection from our
dead selves into the life of better things
Ia the great resurrection act which these
Easter solemnties and festivities suggest,
and in which all may share.
SEVENTEEN cities have so far put In
their claims for convention honOrs.
The cholera is reported in Germany.
All Europe is growing apprehensive OF
that unwelcome Asiatic visitor, and
strict sanitary and quarantine measures
are being employed. America will not
fail to suffer more or less with the
scourge. Loss, II she be well and wisely
prepared; more, II she neglect those
precautionary measures which sanitary
science has placed at her disposal. Let
San Antonio lead Texas in this as In all
other good works. Make the city clean;
as clean as nature intended and made
provision for
WACO kicks against a four-mile-an-
hour ordinance for railway trains within
the corporation limits.
The Dallas Morning News tells
whopper, or 1t is itself whOpper, or the
other journals that incubate in that city
are not whoppers, we can't tell which.
The News says there are thirty-nine
journals published in Dallas, that three
fourths Of the News issue is carried by
express, that the one-fourth carried by
mail weighs more than the mail OF oil
the other thirty. seven combined. What
ever may be said of the News mans facts,
his modesty will not be questioned.
CONVENTION clatter still. continues.
The lightning Of the executive commit
tee has not yet struck.
ITIs u little confusing to pick up three
exchanges, all of the same date, and
reading in each the same article, find
one credits it to the SAN ANTONIO LIGHT,
another to the Express, and still another
to the Times The LIGHT is not particu-
Iarly anxious to stand sponsor for any
other journals utterances, and we pre-
sumo our good neighbOrs of the Express
and the Times are not aching to have
their good sayings credited to the big
Evening Daily" Put your extract
saddles on the right horses, please.
The Swain and Ross fight wsxes
warm. Dallas, Waco and Austin are
having a triangular wooling over the
candidates.
The Telephone Investigating Com

teresting information, not to say con-
fessions. The exultant cry that At
torney. General Garland has come out OF
the ordeal with clean hands, pure lips,
and lean pocket book is trifle pre-
vious, considering Mr.. Gsrland's own adj
missions. His own testimony as to what
he said to Atkins and Atkins to him is
decidedly suggestive. 1t seems Atkins
was anxious to have the prestige OF the
Attorney Generals name and influence

says Mr.. Garland, II told him that |

money except by law and poker-had

at law. was willing to go into this If
it offered any inducement." III this con-
fession does not leave the Presidents
legal adviser open to the charge OF gsmb.
ling in Pan Electric stock, on his own
confession, what DO his words mean.
Pan Electric was not law, he generally
won at that" it was not poker, The al
ways lost at that" 1t was, however,
a new game of chance into which he was
willing to go for money, even II he had
to gamble for it. There is no going back
on the Garland testimony in this thing.
1t is a very lucid revelation Of the quail
