time as low state of public and private
morals is nothing more than the natural
consequences of the rapid transition of So
ciety from the old to the new order of
things. For the past fifty years society has
been undergoing rapid evolutionary changes
in every direction. More and greater
changes have taken place in the customs of
mankind during the past fifty years than
during like period Of time in any other
stage of the worlds history. and in the eff
forts of society to adapt itself to the changes,
collisions and cOnfusions have occurred
causing an unusual amount of demOralza-
ton or crime. But when. the present evolu-
ton is completed and men have adjusted
themselves to the requirements of their new
circumstances. then will the number of
criminals cease to multiply.

to show that the proper object aimed at in deal.
ing with criminals is protection to society"
and endeavored to show that while Difference
and repression are proper means of protecting
society. the best means is by the reformation of
the criminal. (see page 59a)
Yours Respectfully. H. H. HART.
The matter referred to on page 500 reads
as follows:
1.-The third method Of protecting the public is by
reformation. As we have seen, it is not inconsist
ent with deterrence and repression. but it is as
much superior to them mind to matter. De.
terrence checks the current, repression dams the
stream. reformation stops the spring. Difference
makes towards. repression makes slaves, but ref
Ormation makes men,"

at the protection of society from the injury to
which it is exposed from law-breakers" On page

WHY Not Enforce Ii.

The city has passed an ordinance prohibit
ing people from hitching their hsrses any
where on Commerce street between Main
and Military plaza. the ordinance is con.
stsntly violated out no arrests have, as yet,
been made.
In yesterdays recorders court, will B.
KSerps and Robert Becker, of the city en-
gineer's force were arrested respectively for
interfering with an officer and using abusive
language. The trouble seems to have grown
out on account of the hitching ordinance.
1t is said that the boys were hitching their
team on the street when Officer Seffel remOn.
strated with them. They returned answer
asking the officer why he did not arrest a GER.
tain wealthy citizen who left his buggy with.
out bitchng it at all and in no ones care.
This angered the policeman and some hot
words were passed between them,
resulting in the two arrests. Mr.. Becker
was fined s. and Willie Koerps' case was dis
missed.
A little later a doctors buggy stood hitched
to the sidewalk in front of Schasse's drug
store without any one in attendance, with
officer Seffel on the opposite side of the street,
but no arrests for violating the ordinance
have been reported.
officer seffel explains by saying he was on
one side of the street aud Ziegler on the other.
He was not on the side where the wealthy
citizen had left his horse united and unattend.
ed. and does not know who il belonged to.
He was on the side whore the doctors buggy
was left and said he warned the doctor not 10
commit the offense again.

held at Convention hall last night for the
celebration of German Day, on the 18th
and 18th of October.
A dispatch was read from President
Schramm, who went TO New Orleans on
business in connection with the celebra-
ton, which reported everything favor
able. The reports of the various commit
tees, showing what progress had been
made were adopted.
From these reports it is seen that quite
number of these wagons are under ac
tual preparation and will be in fullest
trim within few weeks.
The committee on transportation re-
ported that Receiver b. T. Yoakum of
the S. A. p. has decided to extend the eX-
cursion rates of the fair to October Is in
order to enable those visiting the eXpoSi-
ton to remain over for the German Day.
In view of the progress of the work and
the assured success of the undertaking,
an invitation was extended to every Ger
man society in the state. and the meeting
adjourned until next Friday. After the
meeting of the central committee the

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
WaIIick's Last Night-Otner Theat-
rical Briefs.

The Grand Opera house was again
nearly filled last night by a San Antonio
audience to witness Jas. H. Wallick's
production of the warlike Texas drama.
| Houston, or the Heroes of Texas" writ
ten by VIM. H. Young, the playwright,
not our General Young.
The plot is simple, though the story is
very strongly told by the dramatist, and
with tolerable StrictneSS of historical de-
! tail, though the scenic artist, while quite
as liberal in his portrayal as the drama
! fist, was not quite as careful in represent
ing historical scenes.
The players were equal to the demands
made upon their talent, which were not
OnerouS, though Viola Crosby, as Mrs
LeGrand, the Mexican wife of the Ameri-
can doctor, came out as the strongest
character in the play and made quite a
success, particularly in the fine passages
giving realistic impressions of the pas
sions of love and hate, anger, repentance
and even of coquetry. Her reading of her
sons letter was very natural.
The next attraction will be, After
Dark" a play written by the now
deceased playwright, Dion Bouci-
cault, and which was present.
ed last year by the same company in this
city. A few additions have been made to
the company, one being Edward Collier,
formerly leading man for Tragedian

Too Heightened Entirely.

In these practical days the individual
who talks long and loud about the re-
sources of Florida, or. in fact, any coun-
try, without bringing forth some evil
dence to substantiate and oorrObOrate
his statement, is likely to be laughed at,
or at best designated as boomer, or
one who wishes to increase the population
of the State by disappearing it's ad-
vantages. However we arc willing to be
laughed at on this score, and ourreputa-
tion as all antagonist to the "booming"
style of advertising is too we'll estab-
lished to be in any way injured by in
situations on that score.
We say and stand ready to prove that
Florida is capable of producing crops
that will pay better than do any of the
crops raised in the other Southern States,
and many OF the crops that can be easily
produced here but which are nowneglect-
ed, will pay infinitely better than do a
majority of the crops in the North and
West.
The great trouble with the people of
Florida is that they expect too much.
They will turn up their noses at a crop
that will yield them net income of if
teen or twenty dollars per acre. Does
the cotton crop OF the South do even as
well as this? Certainly not. If South
ern farmer on the average uplands of the
cotton regions gets as much as one third
of bale Of cotton from an acre of land
he is very well satisfied and considers
himself very fortunate indeed. A bale of
cotton will sell for about forty.flve dol
lars, thus giving a gross income OF fifteen
dollars per acre. 1t is sale to say that
