DR.. McGLYNN and Henry George are
bOlstering up their anti-poverty society
ideas with the words Of no less an au-
thority than Cardinal Manning, who in
a recent public address said:
Il answer that the obligation to feed the
hungry springs from the natural right OF
every man to life and to the food necessary
for the sustenance Of life. So strict is this
natural right that it prevails over all positive
laws Of property. Necessity has no law. and a
starving man has a natural right to his neigh
boris bread"
The whole force OF the question here
raised, In the answer thus given to some
other enquiry, is thls-How far does the
cardinal carry his application Of this
which he asserts to be a natural right?
Carried to its logical conclusions, it con-
cedes all that the socialists of the wild
est wing have demanded. The right to
food and the right to the necessaries of
life prevail over the positive laws of
property, says the cardinal. Does it
then follow that the law OF property is
sbrogated whenever 1t comes into con-
hiot with this law Of personal rights by
necessity. This question ia not an
swered by Cardinal Manning, nor Is it
likely to be, and yet it ia just the ques-
tion TO be determined as the basis Of the
whole series that shall follow. The ruin
Gus results OF an affirmative answer
preclude the idea Of such answer, even
though actual starvation IN Isolated
cases result. Society exists under law,

parisOD, and II possible, give an object
lesson. San Antonio possesses what no
southern California city does. viz: The
finest and most abundant water supply
OF any place in Texas, and for beauty the
valley Of the San Antonio river cannot
be surpassed. DO you know what Cali
fOrnians would do then? It will tell you;
they would throw half that water sup
ply along those hills, so that people could
beautify their homes; they would run
street cars all over the city, and motor
lines to all suburban resorts, and where
there were good locations new resorts
would be established, transportation
would be made cheap and rapid, those
streets would be severed, graded
and paved, at least one or two large
and commodious hotels would be
built to Invite the tourist and the
pleasure seekers, built on those hills not
down In the valley. or course these
things would not be done just for the
pleasure of those coming and going, but
because the investment would. under
wise administration, yield big dividend.
Such course would send San Antonio
of on such rapid strides Of improvement
that it would take the breath away from

PIE Oldest inhabitant was on his men,
DRY yesterday, ciphering out how much
colder it was, how much more disagree

was ever known In San Antonio before.
AS usual there was no little discrepancy

WAS a general opinion that San Anto-
Mo got there with both feet. What the
situation In north Texas must have been
does not appear, but when San Antonio
Is treated to such generous section of

To the really observant mind, the dis-
appearance Of all colOred blood from the
national house Of representatives does
not prove that the colOred race has not
the elements Of leadership In 1t, as as
serted by democratic journal OF this
city, so much as it proves that the
cOlored vote OF the states, in which COL
Ored votes predominant, is not counted.
This fact is too notorious to be com
mented upon. II the colored votes of
South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama
and Florida were counted, those states
would speedily prove that cOlored mem
bers are not excluded from congress for
lack Of quality, but by the mysterious
process of counting out which have be-
come so common In all the heavily pop
ulated negro states since 1876.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of sufOcation
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache: to know that no poisonous, putrid mat
ter defiles the breath and rOts away the dell
cate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to
feel that the system does not, through its
veins and arteries suck up the olson that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed q
blessing beyond all other human enjOyments.
To purchase immunity from such fate should
be the object of all afflicted. But those who
have tried many remedies and physicians de.
spair of relief or cure.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages. 1t
is local and constitutional. Instant in reiev
ing permanent in curing, safe, economical
and failing.
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CA
TARRHAL SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED IN

tise and directions, and sold by all druggists
for Sl.00.

SENATOR SHERMAN thinks that those
claimants against the United States
treasury who were kept out OF their
cash, because the last deficiency bill
failed to become law, should receive six
per cent interest upon their approved
claims. from the time that the last def
clenoy bill failed Of its passage. Why
not? Uncle Sam should pay his debts

ONE finds a nugget OF wisdom OCce-
siOnally floating around without any
known owner or author. The following
is sample stone from that quarry:
There is one thing that the property
holders Of every city should bear in
mind. 1t is that what lie good for the
whole city is money in the pockets of
the property-hOlders Of that city.
Then, contributing to any enter
prise that will benefit the city, is
enhancing the value OF their prop
erty. This may come in the form
Of taxation on the property, or by direct
subscription, but the rule holds the
same. So do not fail to seize ever Op-
pOrtunity to push your city to the front,
and by all means do not be kicker
against anything necessary to the i'm
prOVement Of your city. Do not be a
mOssback."
San Antonio will do very we'll for her
self IN needing this admonltion. There
are no end OF signs that abe Is mastering
the letters OF that little lesson and will
have it all committed to memory some
OF these days. When she practices 1t,
prosperity has come to stay.

is reached by street cars, Coronado ferry

all over the state and on every incoming
train for weeks, and excursions from
San Francisco and Los Angeles ar
ranged for ht low rates. When the day
came a great crowd had come to be at
the sale. transportation was free eX-
