RAIL ROAD ITEMS.

Milton Everett has returned from
a s~ojourn at Rockport.
Superintendent McQueeny of the
s. P. has returned from his trip last
night.
General superintendent Schreiver
and General Freight Agent Bleker OF
the Southern Pacific left for their
head quarters at New Orleans this
morning for the telegraph wires.
New switch boards have been put
in the l.. & G.. N. dispatcher's office,
affording greater conveniences, for
the telegraph wires.
E. NJ. Winstead, of the Arkansas
Pass, is filling the post of assistant
general passenger agent of that road
in the absence of r. w. Andrews,
who is r~usticating in California,
A grand excursion Of 1000 colored
people will take place from Houston
to San Antonio via the Arkansas Pass
road arriving at ILLS p. m. on Au-
gust 4th and remaining over until the
sixth.
By six p. m. today the gravel trains
of the 1. & G. n. will have deposited
their last load of gravel north of San
Antonio, thus finishing the work of
ballasting the track of the road
| through the black waxy districts,
which has been in progress for the
past eight months. Since going into
the hands of receivers the road has
risen from q deplorable condition to
the first rank among the railroads of
| the state, and it is conceded that the
road south of Palestine, one so rough,
has now the finest roadbed of any
railway in the state. The work of
ballasting will be continued south to
Laredo.
The Southern Pacific freight clerks
have q rat story which they tell with
clerks wears slippers during office
hours, replacing them with his shoes
after the days work Is done. The
Office practical joker in seeking what
he might ,devour, cut the tail from q
goat hide which he coiled up and
| placed In the warehousmau's shoe,
whose feelings may be imagined
when his foot came in
contact with it. He suddenly
become imbued with all the tradi-
tional aversion of femininity to the
rodent family as he threw the piece
of foot gear across the room wildly
calling on the Waterman to kill the
"rat in his shoe" He has since been
guyed to such an extent that if any
body wants to precipitate a riot, all
that is necessary is to say rats" to
any remark that victim may happen
to make.

North Flores and Houston streets,
fell yesterday afternoon, just before
the nine hour quitting time, 5 o'clock,

six carpenters who were working
thereon. One elderly man. q carpen-
ter, was severely hurt, having one of
his ribs split. He was taken to
his residence on Soledad street
and a physician attended him.
Another carpenter, a young fellow,
struck on his left shoulder and is
very stiff today, and almost incspaci-
tated, but owing to the rush in try
ing to have the building completed
in time, is working to-day.
The other four were not materially
hurt. The scaffold was raised about
ten feet from the floor.

POLITICAL POSSIBILITIES.

The candidates are a little slow in
coming out, just now, but the woods
will be full of them after the Hogg
convention.
Some of the old court house foxes
are strong Hogg men in the county
and red-hot snti's in the city; carry
ing water on both shoulders.
Fixing the "slate"is what is worry
ing the old accom-.
Bryan the rustler will carry the
county for Hogg, If he wants to.
The Hogg convention hall will be
turned into a big show house after
the conventions of 1890 are held.
There is one saloon man in town
vino is reported as being in favor of
Hogg, and is opposed to Bryan.
The court house happy family
think their only salvation is to hold
nc straight convention.
The railroads do not seem to be a
bit alarmed about Hogg, and so far
are not making any opposition.

NOTES.

The mistake that the Express and
its anti-Hogg cohorts made was that
they waited until the "city boss' re-
turned before holding the county pri-
maries; Bexar county should have led
the procession instead of bringing up
the rear.
When the democratic warwick"
George w. Clarke, sees old Bexar
shouting itself hoarse for Hogg, he
will go back on Crockett and all the
rest of the heroes of the Alamo.
Hogg and Sayers seem to consti-
tute q democratic team in this con-
%gressional district.
Sayers is a Hogg man; first, last
and all the time.
Hogg is a Sayers man and every
democratic county convention in the
Tenth district that has instructed for
Hogg has included Sayers.
4
The Tenth congressional district
can get along without the force bill
but we should have a straight-out re-
publican candidate to oppose Savers
Hogg free trade ticket.
The republican county convention
should elect delegates to senatorial
and congressional district conven-
tions.
The election will be the whole Hogg
or none.
The committee of arrangements for
the republican convention meet at
Mission garden tonight.

Moonlight Watermelon Picnic

Moonlight Watermelon Picnic.
A number of young folks treated
themselves to q nice diversion last
evening in the shape of q moonlight
excursion to the First Mission. A
wagonette was chartered into which
the party was loaded, provided with
$50 pounds by weight of frozen water
melons. The evening was quite en-
joyable, the watermelons entirely dis
appearing by reason of the ~appetites
promoted by the cool air and roman
tic beauty of the spot. Those pres
ent were: E. M. Winstead, Miss c.
leste Gaylord, Carlos Bee, Miss Bes-
sic Pryor, j. F. Green, Miss Annie
Prescott, Eldred Holt, Miss Louise

acted into law, II would give them new
lease Of life, and they would be seon In

at their post Of duty, making every pos
sible effort, 10 be able to place large

while the surroundings warrant them as
much pay for a small or half crop, as for
a large one, there Is but little 10 encour-

congress, az hired men are generally

or unconstitutional but do as we ask,
and we will take the chance OF the re-
suits. We know when the other fellows
want law passed in their interest, they
arc not often seen circulating petitions;
but go AZ once and toll their WahtsI and
insist on It's being done, and they are
scarcely ever disappointed.
We hear some say, these matters asked
for, cannot be expected for the reason
that the government has no money TO do
with. The means are provided In each
OF these plans, and the money is not So

Voice from Cloud.

SCOrTsvnE, Kansas
The subtreasury plan has been under
discussion for three nights in our alli-
ance and the following points wero
brought forward as arguments against II.
l. The partisan press was calling II
silly, unpracticable etc.
2. The warehouses would benefit but
few, owing to the cost TO tho farmers Of
getting the grain 10 them.
B. The plan would require such an
army Of officers TO be paid, that the farm
ers' profits would be required 10 pay the
salaries.
L. That the passage Of the bill would
require class legislation.
Now as to the first, ! wish 10 ask II the
partisan press has not always been ready
tocry out against reforms unless II was
going 70 benefit their constituentsG You
know it is so. The press must have
means 10 carry on It's business and make
a living, and the man or woman who can
pay the most for il will get the use Of
the columns Of the paper to voice their
sentiments. CThis is not always so, as

To The ADVOCATE:
We have taken some pains, looking
over the various plans suggested in the
past few weeks, TO relieve the present
suffering announcement multitude" $50
called by the New York Herald in this
financial dearth through which they arc
passing. The one offered by Senator
Stanford Of California, seems to me to
be one that would DO Of more good to the
producing class, than any offered, and as
TO the governments inability to comply,
see no difficulty in the way. II the
government Issue treasury notes TO pay
che mortgage Indebtedness, and declare
them to be a legal tenderin payment ofall
debts, il would not be transcending the
constitutional authority granted. II
would seem also, that it was in manner
placing the government in debt for the
reason that the realty was at the com
mand Of the government, TO make due
returns Of the money thus paid out at
the end Of the twenty years allowed the
debtor, and that the said realty used as
security, would be thus pledged by the
consent Of the owner, which would seem
to be better than II issued on the credit
OF the whole wealth of the country,
which has been done In the past, and 10
say that the individual could not make
the government secure for the money
thus issued, by pledging the "integrap
part Of the whole wealth Of the govern
ment, which he may own, would be true,
II true and correct valuation was placed
on the same, and the loan based thereon.
The rate Of interest of / per cent. would
lift the high rate interest mortgage, and
diminish the burden that would not be
hard TO bear, and 1t would be fair, for
why can an excuse be found for loaning
the money Of the government TO one
class at one per cent, and not other
classesS And again, why depend upon a
coin as medium of exchange or measure
of value, and not the paper issue, while
IL costs the government 70 cents to coin
a dollar, and would not cost more than
/ per cent. to make a paper dollar, or a
bill Of any denomination Again, /
would ask If this or some similar plan is
not adopted, and that soon, how are the

scheme, and should be endorsed by every

farmers and tlllers Of the soil, upon
whose shoulders rests the burdens OF
government, will continue 20 create and
increase the wealth Of this government,
and build palatlal residences, and set all
things going In merry and iubilant
manner; and as there Is only about one
eighth of the vast family Of about GA
millions Of people in America, engaged
in tho agricultural fields, II seems like
only fair, to give them the best possible
chance, 10 is sometimes agreed In this
way. They as class, are very ignorant,
and do not know what they need. Now
II may be true, but 10 it right TO take ad-
vantage of them because they are ignor-
antP Would II not be much more "hu-

them, and make them plain, that they
might be able to interpret them without
the aid Of a college graduateP We will

Of the laws Of our country, and are com

Of their powers Of mind TO lay plans and

should not be required Of them TO do so,
II the laws were made in their interests
and welfare. The sub-treasury plan is a
very desirable measure also, aud / should
like very much to see 1t become a law.
There cannot be anything said to con-
troyert the fact, that IL would bring a
relief TO the farmers. But il might be
the means Of making many laborers and
needy persons pay dear, or a higher
price for the produce Of the farm, and It
would not be hardship either, II 80 dol
lars per capita were put in circulation by
the government, and the rate Of interest
/ per cent. They could buy more Of
those necessaries, and pay much high
er price than now. (The SO dollars per
capita is suggested by the Stanford plan.)
We are convinced Of one thing, that is,
the farmers are a willing and cheerful
class Of laborers, II they are reaping re-
ward satisfactory for their toll. But
set Of grumblers and GROWERS, at this
time, when they haul the products Of
their labor to maSket, and return home
with the proceeds that will not more
than pay expenses, and how long they
can be kept between the plow handles
and in the fields, without something
more than promises OF relief, as has been
