THERE is still little news from
Washington to indicate what action
the senate will take with reference TO
the omnibus admission bill. 1t will
in all probability be rejected by the
senate and it will then go to con-
ference committee of the two houses.
If the representatives on the COM
mittee from the house side do not in
sist upon too much the senate will
doubtless be disposed TO accept the
bill with certain amendments that
will be insisted upon. A letter re-
ceived in this city a few days ago from
prominent senator who is a member
OF the committee on territories and
who has taken a deep interest in the
subject of admission for several years,
states that republican senators are
disposed to accept the bill provided
the house shows o reasonable dis
position in the premises, but that the
senate will not yield all that IL has .
right to insist upon. In the mean
time it is apparent that there is grow
ing preference in the territory to wait
for An extra session rather than ride
through in the crowded Springer ON
nibus. A prominent citizen remarked
the other day that he would rather
see Washington remain out of the
Union for years yet than 10 90 in now
without North Idaho annexed.

ago. As the coming servant of the people
his conduct has been in perfect accord with
his character as a private citizen. 1t has
been. as always before, guided by modesty,
propriety and the dictates of intelligence
and high character. To the conditions of
the territory and its need, subjects already
familiar to him In their general aspects,
he has been giving close study In detail
The habits OF diligence which have made
Mr.. Allen 80 eminently successful as a citi-

and it Is not too much to say Ct him that

other of it's SOC, 900 citizens: Mr.. Allen is
now at his home at Walla Walla and will

THE London strikers in refusing 10
accept the terms secured for them
through the arbitration of the lord
mayor and bishop Temple and car
dinal Manning, have rendered them
selves liable - a change of sentiment
on the part of the great body of the
London people. Hitherto the SYM
patty has been with the strikers, it is
now turning from them to the dock
companies, as the general feeling is
that the heads of the strike have not
kept faith with those who arbitrated
in their behalf.

SOUTH and Central America import

amount the United States do not fur
nish $50, 100000. This country by TAX
ing proper measures could supply
full half of this $3.50, 900, 900 at round
profit. Nothing prevents it but the
apathy of the government, the insane
prejudices against steamship subsi-
dies and the crankiness of American
manufacturers who will not pack and
consign as the South American mer-
chants desire. These things should
change and these southern and GEN.
trail republics should be made the
market for the manufactured product

THE fair will be held. That affair
is settled. The next business is to
make the fair success. This fair is
pre-emin entity San Antonio's fair and
every business man and every pro-
ducer should see to it that the pro-
auctions and business of this center of
trade are fully represented. The
great need of last years exhibit was
a full presentation of the hOrticul-
tural and agricultural productions of
southwest Texas. County exhibits
also are much needed and there are
only eight weeks remaining in which
to get everything in place for
the opening, when the fair man
agement should have had as many
months. Elect in haste and
repent at leisure. All the same the
| fair has been determined on and
every agency must be enlisted to
| make it success. Even in eight
| weeks q vast amOuntOt work can be
accomplished by united systematic
effort. These eight weeks can OF
work miracles but they can work
great changes and the fair manage
ment will leave no effort unmade, no
measure promising results untried,
to make this fair a success. In this
every citizen Of San Antonio is also
interested. Show your interest by
your energy, your faith by your
wor ks and results creditable to the
city will follow.

DIVIDING THE RANGES.

The arabic lands of Texas are des-
tined to come under tillage and graz
ing will be confined to such sections
and tracts as are not fitted for cult
walton. Already has the change
commenced In northwest Texas and
each year will see it more marked.
When the great pastures of the pan
handle become cut up into wheat farms
new era of agricultural and COM
mercial prosperity will dawn upon
that section of The state. The Curtis
pasture in Wichita county has recent
ly passed into the hands of Kansas
parties and has been cut up into one
hundred farms of one hundred and
sixty acres each. These farms are
now on the market at eight dollars per
acre, One-fourth down the balance on
time, and the probabilities are that all
will be disposed of before spring. The
addition to the wealth and pOpula-
ton of this state that would result
from such a change in every agricul-
tural county in Texas would be enOr-
nous. Southwest as well as north
west Texas would greatly add to her
revenues aud to her commercial i'm
portance by turning some of her large
stock ranges into wheat, corn and
cotton farms. No more fertile lands
are found any where than those that
lie between this city and the gulf
along the lines of the s. A. P; be-
tween this city and the border along
the International and Sou thern pacific
lines. The future market gardens
of this state are certain to be found
in this region and the change which
the next twenty-five years will
make in the character of South
West Texas tillage will be something
incredible. The movement for this
change has already begun. In Will
son, De Witt, Atascosa, Medina, Bee
and other counties land owners are
breaking up their large tracts into
convenient parcels for small farms,
large market gardens and fruit Or
chards. Colonists are being hunted
out in the older states, men practical
ly familiar with the culture of fruits
and vegetables, and in short time
very many gardens and fruit farms
will be sending their products on
every line of railway communication |
between here and Memphis, st. Louis,
Kansas City and Denver. San An
tonic, in the future, will be the GEN.
ter of a fruit and vegetable supply |
which will add millions to her yearly |
revenue.

ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS IN THE AZ
FAIRS OF HUMAN LIFE.
A Lecture delivered before the Young Mems
Christian Association of Rockville, by
Rev. JOSEPH WALKER.


The elements of success in all hu-
man enterprises are in their origin sub
jectiDe. They are latent forces in the
soul, which, when excited, actuate all
the organs and functions of the body.
The power to arouse and develop these
mysterious potencies, SO as to utilize
them in the business Of active life,
seems to depend largely on man himself.
Hence, if wanted theme for lee
turc to young men. or to men Of any
age, could probably find nothing bet
ter than king David's advice to his sou
Solomon "Be strong therefore, and
show tbyself a man." As if he would
have said "Prove by wise use Of
your mental and moral endowments
that you belong to the human race I;
that you stand at the head of all terres-
trial creatures, and but step below
the angels of God in the spirit world. "
This is mans true, though high position
in the scale of living existences. He
poses midway between animated beings
below him and spiritual intelligences
above him. Yet on earth he is but a
dual machine comnosed Of matter and
Of shirt The snirit sunnlies the life.

LIES TWILIGHTs.

When the lingering hours were ladencd
With the spells of summer day,
And wreck of light and beauty
On the far horizon lay; sr..
When the sky grew soft with twilight,
Ere the stars began to throng,
She passed me lightly humming
A snatch OF a school-day song;
And the dream still moves my fancy,
That dreamed with heart agow,
As she tripped away to the sunset,
To the sunset long ago.
AS lovers part we parted,
Where the winding paths divide;
When the evening clouds were golden
And the day grew dreamy eyed
Her face was bright with bushes,
And eyes with smiles and tears,
While the sunlight fell around us
Like dream of coming years,
And the air seemed hushed with music
That whispered soft and low,
AS she tripped away to the sunset,
To the sunset long ago.
There's spot where silent, shadows,
When the sun is brightest, lie;
There's grave beneath the naples,
Where the wild winds sink and sigh,
And there l often wander,
With saddened heart, alone,
When the dewy night wind murmurs
Ofthe noisy day that's flown,
And recall the dreams cherished
Ere the world grew dark with woe,
When they bore her away to the sunset,
10 the sunset long ago.
There are shadows falling round me
And the darkness soon will close,
For my star is swiftly sinking
TO the night from which it rose,
And | often hear the whispers
or lowering spirit bands
And the weird and airy music
That floats from spirit lands.
Yet each dream in my fancy fingers,
That | dreamed so long ago,
AS moved away to the sunset,
To the sunsets dying glow.
