decade to come. No man having eat
en- cream cheese straightway desires
a hickory, skim milk.
LET the weather clerk quit mon
keying, give us as fair fair deal as
he gave Dallas and San Antonio will
have laid the foundation for such an
exposition in 1890 as will distance all
competition.
THE positions are taken, the pick
cts are stationed, the guns are In
place, rations are served and the
forces are ready for the engagement
which opens Tuesday. The republi-
cans are booked to win.
THURSDAY, Novembe %, Is the day
set apart for National Thanksgiving
by his excellency the president Of the
United States. Turkey day will be
generally observed this year. The
Thanksgiving due for the results of
last November's election will be in
creased by the results of the elections
this year. The republicans are CIV
ing thanks, and so is the country.
THERE is a slight difference of
opinion between the president and
the postoffice department over the
appointment of the Kansus City post
master. The president favors the ap-
point ment of his old friend DR.. Frank
Nofsinger while Wannamaker and
Clarkson recommended Col. Jewett,
the regular party candidate endorsed
by Warner, Bulline and other repub-
lican leaders. What the outcome
will be is as yet undecided. Jewett's
commission was made out Tuesday
and sent to the president, but as yet,
so far as heard from, it has not re-
ceived the presidential signature.
The longer the matter is delayed the
more favorable are the chances for
Messengers appointment.
MEXICO shows a determination to
keep fully informed in all matters in
the United States. She will not take
her impressions of US second hand,
hut will hear with her own ears all
that we have to say concerning her at
Washington. To this end two of the
official stenographers of the Mexican
Senate will be sent to Washington at
the opening of congress to report the
debates in congress. Their contract
insures their presence in our national
capital for at least three months, No
vember, December and January.
Mexico by this means will have
very clear conception of the American
way of doing business and will find
out much that will be of value to her
in definitely fixing her trade relations
with this country. 1t is a long stride
forward that Mexico has thus taken,
and it is a practical one, albeit an
unusual one.
THE presence of the Pan-American
immortal Lincoln would be fitting
subject for fine historical picture.
1t was no idle curiosity led them to
that con secrated ground, wherein the
mortal remains of the great martyr of
the republic lie. Every heart was
filled with reverent feeling and every
eye moistened as they stood uncov-
cred in the presence of the simple
majesty of one who was more than
royal in all the grandeur of his I'M
pretending manhood. The scene is
we'll worthy the pen of poet, the
brush of the painter, the chisel of the
sculptor.
THE Austin Globe, the new evening
daily, does not bank heavily on the
energy and business sagacity of the
Capital City, judging from this speci-
men:
A the rate Of progress Austin has
been making for the past two years,
in two years more most of our streets
would be suitable to raise oats on, the
travel would not be sufficient to injure
the crop. Shall We build up the city,
or shall we send for Carter and go TO
raising oats? Lot the people answer
by their votes on the End of December.
