FRIDAY, OCTOBER y, 1888
FAIR ORGANIZATION NOW.

San Antonio expects, and with
reason, to derive no incOnsiderable
benefit from the approaching meet
ing Of the Jockey club of this city.
The money already expended in
preparing track and grounds, and
in building stables and stands has
been a godsend to the mechanics
and labOrers employed. The week
during which the races are to be
held will see a great many stran-
gers in town, all Of whom will
contribute something to the sup
port OF our home institu-
tiOns. 1t is safe to say that
for every dollar taken out of town
by the race winners five dollars
will be left in town by those drawn
here by the races. Not only is
this true of these races this fall,
but it will continue to be true of
all of the races to be held in the
future. 1t is then Of the first i'm
pOrtance that these races be main
tanned in such a way as to COM
mend them to the patronage of the
state so that an increased attend
ance may be drawn to them
from year to year. This
can best be done by assOciating
with these races such other attrac-
tiOns as will com bine with them
to induce large gathering Of the
people Of Texas in San Antonio
from year to year. Dallas has
solved this question, and her an
nual Fair in its success shows how
wisely this has been accomplished.
San Antonio can do all that Dallas
has done, and more. An OppOrtu-
nifty is now presented, in COnnCc-
ton with the Jockey club Organi-
ton, for establishing an annual
Fair in this city at a small
cost and making it a success from
the start. The track, grand stand,
stables and all the accessories OF a
racing ground are already pro-
vided. All that is necessary is to
enlarge the present scope; lease a
few additional acres for cattle,
sheep and other animal exhibits ::
take up the outstanding stock Of
the jockey club and relieve those
who have pioneered this work
from the existing debt which is
not heavy; then by issuing stock
certificates for fair company, to
which the jockey club members
would be liberal subscribers, pre-
vide means for such additional
buildings and improvements as
are needed.
The present meeting Of the San
Antonio Jockey club should not
be allowed to close without the
organization of a Fair association
in connection with it. The two

Voorhees, has been like the cloth
between the shears in this silver
fight, and it is quite probable that
he realizes the situation sufficient
ly not to place himself again in a
like situation.
The men who lend money on
personal promises lean upon a
broken reed. A man should never
lend upon such security more than
he is absolutely able to give as a
donation.
Filibustering has delayed the
repeal of the silver bill for two
months and kept the country in a
state of constant uncertainty and
alarm. 1t is time to bust the fill
busters.
The present Dallas fair has been
worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars to that city. If San Anto-
Mo can learn anything from such
an object lesson, she has the OppOr-
tunity.
The beginning of the end of this
silver controversy is in sight, but
no action Of the Senate can dis
count the damage that this delay
has done to the Democratic party.
Christian science takes the
boards in Baltimore as one of the
religious services of that city. One
Of its exercises consists in the lay
ing on of hands.
When it comes to a show of
hands on silver repeal it will be
seen that the Republican senators,
now, as always, are more patriotic
than partisan.
This present session Of Congress
has satisfied the country that the
national Legislature meets three
times too often for the general
good.
There can be no compromise
where there is no basis of agree
ment, and there is none between
the free silverites and the repeal
erS.
The worst that democratic jour-
mails can say Of Cleveland is that
the leading Republicans of the
country endorse his position.

on the personal Force Of Cleve-
land" Voorhees, can give Mcclure
points on this subject.
Dallas fair has been a great adj
vertiSement for Texas. How much
has it advertised San Antonio?
