POLITICAL BUSINESS.

y
changes, and those who would be in
the swim must change as the times
change. 1t was formerly in order for
those localities desiring to secure
special consideration at the hand of
legislatures, both state and national,
to send up their Hobbies during the
session and secure through
their irfluence and persistent inter
cession with the members the special
acts of legislation required, nor is 1t
ON record that these Hobbies were at
all backward In coming forward with
whatever persuasives of q material
character would favOrably affect
their cause. The stigma of public
opinion soon attached itself to this
method of influencing legislation and
q general demand was made tor the
suppression of the lobby. The method
now adopted in the more considerable
cities is to send direct to the legisla-
ture such representatives as will Sc
cure the needed Legislation through
other channels. These members are
not expected to devote much attention
to the general subjects of legislation,
but to such special matters as most
directly concern the constituency
that has sent them. Each member of
the legislature has his own particular
axe to grind and it Is the business of
the special member to turn the grind
stone tor his colleagues to just the
extent necessary to secure the need
ed support for his own measures
To accomplish this without detection
and without committing themselves
to impossibilities requires adroitn ess,
and to convince the majority of the
mem bers that the special legislation
asked for is for the interests of the
whole body, is no small achievement.
Certain it is that the men with tact,
address and shrewdness equal to its
accomplish ments are not to be found
among those with an ambition to
| serve In the state legislature. 1t is
tn srefore necessary for those commu
mites that have special interests to
guard and serve in the legislation to
any state to supplement the pittance Of
salary granted the members by liber-
al salaries raised through private
means, to the end that men of the re.
quired abilities may be induced to
undertake the work. This has been
done IN the Texas legislature by other
cities than this, and done to the man.
ifest advantage of such municipalities.
There is no reason why San Antonio
should not have her own business
agent at the Legislature this winter as
her regular member. As a regular
| mem Der his influence would be greater
than In any other capacity, and he
would be In better position to make
| terms with those of the Legislature
who had special acts of their own to
advocate. This is purely q matter OF
business, and the business OF this
city should see that 1t is represented
in q good business way. It'll. for the
business interests of this city that
this matter should not be neglected

There is something in Webster that re-
minds me OF Victor Hugo. There IS the
same confusion at times OF what's big with
what is great, the same fondness for the
merely spectacular, the same insehsioiiity
10 repulsiye details, the same indifference 20
the probable or even 70 the natural, the
same leaning toward the grotesque, the
same love Of effect at whatever cost; and
there is also the same impressiyeness Of
result. Whatever other effect Webster may
produce upon us. he never leaves Us In
different We may blame, we may criticise,
as much as we will; we may say that all
this ghsstiness is only trick OF theatrical
blue-light; we shudder, and admire never
theless. We may say he is melodramatic,
that his figures are magic-lantern pictures
that wayer and change shape with the
curtain on which they are thrown; il mat
ters not, he stirs us with an emotion deeper
than any mere artihce could stir.-James

timely: Never sign any agreement OF when

integral part until you have proved the
figures. Never enter into any conespon-
dence with publishers especially with those
who advertise for manuscnpts) who are not

self down for future work to any one. Never
accept any proposal Of royalty until You

ment gives 10 the author and what TO the

refused by respectable houses, pay others,
