NEEDED--A UNION DEPOT.

No resident of San Antonio return
ing from even short trip from home
but comes to his little depot in this
city impressed with a sense of the
smallness of things as compared to
other places that he has visited. At
first he finds it little difficult to ac-
count for this sensation, but it is soon
forced upon his attention that San
Antonio lacks central stopping and
starting place for the railway
passengers, that, having no union
depot, no real conception of her
passenger traffic is had and
the impression of littleness is
created. Other cities and towns with
less actual travel make four times the
show that San Antonio does in this
respect, because their travel is con-
centrated at one point. Nothing so
impresses a traveller passing through
a city or stopping off at station for
the first time as the numbers around
the station, and upon the platform.
If only a few are seen the idea of a
dull unbusiness place is created and
it takes time to correct that impress
sion, when as in the case of this city,
it is an erroneous one.
Fort Worth has gained immensely
in having her union depot and so has
every city that has made such pro-
vision for the comfOrtand convenience
and economy Of the travelling public.

not only with the deserted
of our railway stations, but
at the inconvenience of transfer
across town to take other lines of
travel. 1t is now considered the thing
for railway lines to accommodate the
people in this matter and the old idea
of transfers is giving way to the mod
ern one of union depOts. San An
tonic will gain from this thing
a great deal more than she would
lose and she is so placed that her
railway depots could quite easily be
con solldated. All the lines now
entering the city come quite close
together in the southern part of
town, and the location of the union
depot somewhere in that region
would now be quite practicable. The
city could we'll afford to denote the
ground leaving the railways inter-
ested to erect the buildings required,
under certain stipulations. Thegreat-
or accommodation of such a
union depot can not be ques-
toned for a moment, and it
would be decided gain to the repu-
tation of this city if she had such an
as this would soon be-
come. Every one passing to and fro
would be struck by the busy appear
ance of things and the throngs around
the depot. Take the people at the
l. & G. n. the Sunset and the Aran-
sas Pass depots in any one day and
group them into one, with their bag
gage, and the express business and
all else, and it would make a good
sized crowd, creating the impression
that San Antonio was lively place
and one we'll worth stopping off to
see, even if the traveller had
no previous intention of doing so.
Our own people returning from
a broad remark the need OF union
depot; strangers making transfers |
here particularly remark it; people
passing through gain no adequate
idea of our importance as a city UNI
der the present condition. We
should have union depot.

THE attempt to discourage colored
immigration into Mexico will fail. The
men who will go down to the republic
on our southern border have tried the
forty acre and mule plan and do not

the plan is loaded. Those who are 80
busy discouraging this immigration
scheme might have made capital had
they discouraged the shot gun and
Winchester policy which has made
the immigration of these men ne

three things: surrender Of political

WACO, like San Antonio, is some
what interested in street car motors,
and the Day presents the following :
"Harper's Weekly has presented a
careful estimate of the comparative
cost of running street cars with horse
power and electricity. 1t takes for
the purpose OF comparison a line run
ming fifty cars. The result is that
such line costs IN running expenses
when horses are used 1903. IS and with
electricity $3.50. The difference is
1921. 25 in favor of electricity, or S4.62
per day on each car run. Whether
these figures, if correct, apply to
smaller systems outside the larger
cities, is not stated"
The great trouble with electric sys-
TENS is that all save the storage
methods are unpopular and insight
ly, and heretofore the storage cars
have been so heavy that their weight
has been virtual EN- barge upon their
employment. Later inventions prom
Use to remove these objections and
then the storage system will come
into general use.

To Owners of Hides, Cotton and

AS it is important that the owners
of produce in San Antonio and the

prices on hides, cotton and wool, l
take this method of Informing all.
Good hides are worth in San Antonio
from to 10 cents a pound. Only

The Boston Herald seems to be
little put out at the delay in filling
Tanners place as commissioner of
pensions and criticises thus:
IA bout all the ex-commanders of
the Grand Army Of the Republic have
now been men toned for the pension
commissionership without accom-
plishing any perceptible change in
the situation. Perhaps it might pay
to venture outside this charmed cir
Gle. There are q great many good
friends of the soldiers outside of the
Grand Army"
The PENSIONS commissionership
has been offered to but one person
since the resignation of Tanner and
he did not accept. The Herald will
wait until President Harrison finds
the man he wants.

UNCLE SAM is beginning to be re
cognized as an important member of
the great national family judging
from this from the London Spectator.
mo State, however powerful, will
again do with ease anything to which
the American rebublic is strongly
opposed. There is not a dlplomatist
in Europe who does not know this,
or who does not hold that Napoleon
III. was only sane in quitting Mexico,
and that Prince Bismarck showed
his wisdom when, rather than quar-
rel seriously with Washington, he
abandoned all pretensions in Samoa"
All that America has done IN the
way of influencing foreign policies
or in maintaining her place with
foreign nations has been through
peaceful means. Arbitration and
just regard for the claims Of others
have been her methods.

THE latest developments in the
Cronin case, if true as reported, lead
to the inevitable conclusion that the
defense have no case and feel them
selves hopelessly in the clutches of
the law. The revelations are to the
effect that the officers of the law are
themselves parties to wholesale
schem of bribery, and are offering
venire men from $1,000 to $1,000 each to
get places on the Jury and Obligate
themselves to stick for an acquital.
Only deep sense Of quilt and the
danger of conviction could tempt men
to so desperate a course. and justice is
to he congratulated that the conspira-
CIV has been unearthed.

THE st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat is
true to good republican traditions on
all occasions and finds an application
of them possible under all circum-
stances. This is case in point:
"The Tvpothet9 took sensible ac-
ton on the subject Of internationa
copyright 1t pronounced in favor
of the scheme under law compelling
all copyrighted English works to he
reprinted in this country. This is a
protective policy in a practical wav.
and should be Endorsed by all good
Americans. Under this law the Eng
lish author can be paid for his work
without filling this country with Eng
lish made books"
This will guarantee the English
author a proprietary right in the
work of his brains, and gives the
American bookseller a right to con-
troll his home market subject only tc
the lawful competitions of American
| rivals.

The Uvalde News does not bank
heavily upon the Southern Pacific
road, judging from this editorial note
in the issue of the 10th instant:
"The Arkansas Pass and Interna-
tional railroads are going to make eX-
hibits of the products of the sections
through which they run, at the San
Antonio fair. So far the Southern
Pacific has not been heard from. and
it is further safe TO saw that it will do
nothing. This part of the state needs
another railroad, and one which will
have some interest in the welfare of
the people. Should another road
come through here, there is no doubt
but il would get at least IS per cent.
of the freight and passenger traffic

r. F. Harmon, Sergts. Dreese and Theus,
Corpl Elton, Private LaFar, Exempt
Member Turner, Pay Member Mar
melstein, and Honorary Member G..
B. Clarke, was held Tuesday night
at Armory hall to consult on matters per-
tanning to the proposed new club house at
Tybee. The bids were opened and cOnsid-
cred. A large number Of contractors have
sent in their bids. Arrangements were
made toward securing the site for the build
ing.
The club house will be at the extreme
southern side of the island, facing the Fybee
inlet. 1t will not be more than 200 yards
from where the new hotel will be erected.
The railroad will pass between the hotel
and the club house, running within fifty
feet of the latter. The site is only a mile
from the Ocean house and that portion OF
Tybee which is now so popular. The build
Ing will be erected at a cost of about s. 600,
and it is the purpose of the building con-
mlttee to have it completed before May l.
1--WE are going right ahead with it, said
Sergt. Theus yesterd y. bids will be open
until Monday, when the committee VIII
award the contract Within two weeks
from that date we nope to have work under
pretty fair Roadway. We have purchase /
three lots facing the inlet, and a more de
sirable site cannot be found on the island
There will be a good deal of leveling
to do before work on the building
can begin. There is rid % about s fee in
night that will have to be- reno ed, and
several days will be consumed in doing that
work. When the site has been leyeled
however, there will be rapid progress and
the structure will be pushed to completion. "
The Tybes railroad will be completed
down a. far as the sites of the two new
buildings within the next ten days and the
material will be delivered by rail as fast as
it is needed. Mr., q. B. Clarke is the archl-
rect for the club house and ne has spared
no pains in planning as neat structure as
possible to be built for the sum raised by
the Cnathams for that purpose
