THERE Is no semblance of reason why
San Antonio should not grow steadily in
the future, when the Arkansas Pass rail-
road and the northwest extension shall
have been completed. She will then be-
come one of the railroad centres Of Tex
as and will have the trade Of large ter
ritory poured into her lap. The truth is,
San Antonio Is on the eve of boom
that will rest upon a solid foundation.
The surrounding country is destined to
be rapidly settled up, and agriculture
will supercede pasturage, thereby in
creasIng not 5nly the value OF lands, but
the trade of San Antonio. Formerly, it
was the foreign trade that enriched and
built up cities, but the tide has changed,
and 1t is now the inland trade that causes
cities to grow and prosper. Cities situa-
ted on the sea coast soon dry up unless
they enjoy an inland trade. San Anto-
MO is bound to draw to herself the trade
Of wide area Of territory.

CUTTING no doubt feels bitterly re-
sentful towards Mexico, and the feeling
is natural under the circumstances. but
he should not endeavor to involve the
United States in war to crafty his
private resentment. He would act I'M
periodically in attempting to fan the
embers Of the late trou BILE into the flames
Of war. Diplomacy must now settle all
matters of dispute between the two ma
tions and appeals to the war-like pas
sions Of the people are out Of place and
harmful.

The storm of last Friday blew out all
the cotton that was open in the path
that it traversed, and must have dam
aged the cotton crop fully 25 per cent.
Without this disaster, the crop would
have been short on account of the pro-

SAN ANTONIO is by long odds the best
winter resort in the union for consump-
tives. There are no fogs here and the
dryness OF the atmosphere is the charm
of its climate. San Antonio is well
supplied with hotels and boarding
houses, and invalids can find every &C.
commodation they desire. We repeat
that as a winter resort for consumption,
San Antonio proposes superior sdvan-
tages to any town or city in the union.

The Democracy of Texas seems "to be
held together by the cohesive power of
the public plumber" to use John G. Cal
houn's definition of what constituted
democracy in 1899. The Express, the
Houston Age, ETC., are in favor of a pro-
tective tariff, whilst the other papers
bitterly oppose protection, the Fort
Worth Gazette denounoes the Galveston
platform, and wants free grass; the other
papers approve the platform in toto.
Prohibition also is bone Of contention
between democrats. But one and all
love the loaves and fishes and will do
well nigh anything to get a nibble at
them.
