Between free trade and foreign i'm
migration to the tune of $4,000 per
month, the working men of America
will soon know, feel and understand
the benefits of pauper conditions OF
\ labor.
THE Galveston crowd to Arkansas
Pass are very careful to say nothing
commendatory of the region adjacent
to the Pass, or of the deep water posi-
bilities there, but they spread it on
thick when they get northwest of San
Antonio, and view the land towards
Kerrville.
THE republican senators will frame
tariff bill and present it to the SEN
ate for adoption. There will be no
lodging the issue. The country will
know exactly how both parties stand
on revenue, surplus, and tariff, as
their positions are defined in congress
siOnal action.
THE Dallas papers have not yet
tumbled to the racket of that adver-
tisement, standing for some weeks in
the Fort Worth Gazette, for republi-
can immigrants to settle up certain
sections of Texas. TIL ere was milk in
that cocoanut of which Dallas never
tasted.
THERE appears to be no more decency
in the action of the government party
in commons concerning Parnell and
the Times libel, than there is in a
bulldog which has setter by the
throat. The Irish party have no more
show than Salem witch had In a
court of Puritan investigation, two
centuries ago.
FORT WORTH does not seem to sue
coed very we'll with her water supply
system. Those who were accustomed
to the pure article as supplied so
abundantly to San Antonio were
driven to sore straits during the last
convention in the Panther city. The
I Fort must improve her water supply.
Democratic as she is she cannot get
along on sour mash exclusively.
GENERAL ALGER, ex-governor of
Michigan and defeated candidate for
the republican presidential nomina-
ton in 1888, has drawn his check for
500, 900 for the benefit of the republic
can national campaign fund. Gen.
Alger is like Blaine, too true repub-
ican to skulk in his tent, when the
title is on and the enemy are in
fol :.
Z THERE is great deal of sympathy
expressed for Ed. Braden the sue
cessful bidder for the erection of the
new city hall, inasmuch as the city is
already largely his debtor for work
on streets. 1t is not yet learned, how
ever, that Braden is himself kicking
to any considerable extent. Braden
and his honor may understand this
thing better than the sympathetic
press.
THE democracy were not particular
ly anxious to discuss the fisheries
treaties in open senate session, when
it came to the point. Sherman's mo-
ton to discuss was voted against by
every democratic senator. All the
same, the debate will be open and the
country will soon see more fully than
ever just how fully Grover has sold
out, through Bayard, the New Eng
land fisheries of this country.
THE disgraceful occurrences in
Kansas along the border of no-man's
land have aroused the state
authorities at last and troops have
been sent to restore peace and prevent
farther ,bloodshed. The delay &C.
Cured over the question of jurisdic-
ton, no-man's land not being under
the authority of the state officers, nor
yet clearly under United States
Jurisdiction. This was case in
which prerogative might very well
have strained a point, as necessity
knows no law.

theatre, while Master Willie Lee was
