The wrestling match which took
place at the Fashion theatre last
light, between Joe Coin and Chas.
Howard, in which Howard was to
throw Coin four times in fifteen
minutes, Howard gained the first fall
In 20 seconds, the second 10 Is seconds,
and the third in minutes and Is
seconds, making in all 8 minutes and
so seconds. in which time he threw
his adversary times. He had then
5 minutes and 10 seconds in which to
gain the last fall, in which time he
was unable to throw his man, there.
third bout Coin lay on the floor, hold
ing Howard's leg, when Howard
reached hown and caught his (Coin's)
head in his hands, and beat it on the
floor, cutting open an old cut on Coins
head, from which the blood flowed
freely, and causing Coin to release his
hold. No foul could be claimed by
Coin, as nothing whatever was barred.
Had not Towards wind been short,
he would have won the match easily.
The Burke vs.. Smith wrestling
match came of last night at the Bella
Union and attracted quite an audi.
ence. Burke gained the first fall in
3 minutes and 80 seconds and the 3rd
in 10 minutes. Smith gained the Sec
ond fall in four minutes and 80
seconds. Burke gave his adversary
all the chance he could to throw him
(Burke) as he was about 20 pounds
heavier than Smith. 1t was easy to
see who would win from the start,
as Burke showed himself to be q first
class wrestler, the head spin used by
him was received with shouts of ap-
pIause by the audience. Burke
challenged both Howard and Coin
last night at the Fashion to wrestle.
He will wrestle any lightweight in
the state.

The rapid way in which newspa.

the past three months proves one of
two things: /, that the cry of hard
times is without the least foundation

the best harvest for newspapers, One
year from now almost every one of
these newspaper infants will have
passed over the river and out of the
memories of men. and the verdict of
the coroner will be "died of mani

full than Is drinking on Monday.
People of San Antonio know how TO
leave off, before reaching the point of
drunkenness. There is less drunken
nesss in San Antonio than in any
other city in Texas, and consequent
ly, fewer acts of rowdyism and fewer
crimes. Prohibition on Sunday will
not fill the churches.

There is NJ better edited county
paper than the Cotulls Ledger, and
Mrs. Bowen deserves the highest
praise for her pluck and her ability,
as shown in her conduct of the Led
ger. She goes for the scalps of all
murderers with a ringing warwhOop
that will reverberate from the Rio
Grande to the Sabine, and from Red
River to the Gulf, and find an echo in
the hearts of all lovers of law and
order. Human life has been rated
far too chesply, and murder has
never been purfis he'd as it deserved to
be by the juries in the state. many of
whom acted as II their sole duty was
to turn murderers loose to ply their
nefarious trade.

The national officers of the alliance
have promulgated a long circular adj
dress advising all members of the or
der to withhold wheat from the mar
ket in order to raise the price. and
this course will probably be followed
to q considerable extent. The gain of
the farmers by this process will be de-
rived from the robbery of all nom
farming persons by means of a mo-
nopoly Of breadstuffs that has no
parallel. But how will farmers feel
should Europe in resentment of this
scheme to extort money from an al
most starving people, make shift to
do without our wheat? We cannot
begin to consume all our wheat crop
and unless ir ia exported the farmers
will be ruined. "Wilful men must
have their way"

The towns in + exss wherein the
Sunday law mas been enforced, are
clsmoring to have the law rigidly en-
forced in San Antonio, as though
that would enliven the dizziness they
experienced on Sunday or moisten
their parched throats. These towns
resemble the fox in the fable, who,
having had the misfortune to have
his tail shipped off by a trap in one Of
his foraging expeditions, and not lik-
ing to appear odd and disfigured,
never rested until he had persuaded
his brethren and sisters to part with
their caudal appendage on the ground
of their being useless and incon-

Should the worst come to the worst,
and Puritanism become triumphant,
the people of San Antonio can form
clubs, purchase kegs of beer on Sat-
urday, take them to designated
private houses, and drink beer on
Sunday, at pleasure. Each club can
lay in an adequate supply for its
members. Those who prefer alcoholic
beverages, can purchase bottles Of
stuff to suit their palates for Sunday
rotations. Beer and whiskey are not
a bit pleasanter for being imbibed in
saloon.

Can any body assign a rational
cause for the alleged scarcity of mon
ey? 1t is notorious fact, that there
has no retirement of money by
the government within the past year.
According TO the democrats, the late
republican congress appropriated
nearly billion of dollars, and half
of this sum has probably gotten into
circulation by this time. At any rate,
it is being constantly paid out by the
treasury department, and is passing
into circulation. There is not parti.
Gle of reason why money should be
scarce.
