HIGGINS ON FOREIGNERS =
The Editor Of the Post Buying
Water Works. School Trus-
tees. - Sprinkling tho
Streets

We consider the article from the
German Post as in very bad faith
on the part Of the editor of the Post
His article will do more harm and
throw more discord, cause more bad
feeling, impede Immigration and
hurt the business men of Waco more
than thousand such editorials like
the one complained of by the Post in
THE EVENING News.
Let the citizens OF Waco set down
on such efforts on the part of the
editor of the Post, to produce bad
feeling; we want harmony; we want
good people; We want business and if
the Post has any circulation such
measures will do us much harm. The
editor of the Post expects business
from business men. Now let him do
something to bring that business
rather than drive it away from us
We want immigration, but we do not
want people who are paupers, buns,
or anarchists; we want people of
Intelligence, industry, and would
prefer that they bring some capital,
some money. The agricultural immi-
grants who come to this country, also
the mechanical classes are an advsn
tage but our immigration doors have
always been to wide open, admitting
the very scums of the old country and
by this reason keeping back the hon
est, desirable aud intelligent laborers
and farmers, who would come to this
country to rid themselves of such
people, aud do US good.
BUYING WATER WORKS We hearti-
ly commend the city council for their
wisdom in even failing to consider the
proposition to buy water works, or
to sprinkle the streets. There are
but two thing which would Justify the
CITY council in making investments or
going in debt at this time, is to build
sewerage.
To KEEL OUR School SYSTEM. We
doubt very seriously the wisdom of
any street paving at this Time, unless
the money was of easy access. Still
we have today a set of aldermen as a
whole in whom the citizens of Waco
have great confidence md we should
stand by them and feel no uneasiness
OUR SCHOOL TRUSTEES Up to
this time the action of the board so far
as we know has been wise and for the
good OF Waco A rigid examination
should be had and any pets without
any other qualifications should be
promptly rejected remembering that
'the schools of Waco are not chart
ty institution nor wet nurse "but are
for the benefit of the people. Now is
the time OF all times for our new
superintendent to see that "effioieno y
be the rule" aud tho "trimmors"
should be freely used where needed"
Get the idea? Let no one dictate
qualifications.
FINANCIAL. THE CAUSE. THE
REMEDy.-Why is money hard to
get?
LIST. Because money is very sem
sitive thing; like rat peeping out o
his hole, the least noise he darts back.
The withdrawal of gold from America,
produced suspicion, and destroyed con
fdence Those who conld live
whether they drew a revenue or not
said: eve will simply allow our
money to lay in the banks and vaults
until the storm is over" we can live
any way. This resulted in banks not
being able to get money and the peo-
pie could not get money if the banks
could not. The results were as We
see; many bank failures.
g. Every man and woman who can
is saving money to visit the Wor DIS
Far. There has been no rush yet;
but Just think! 1t cost from 800 to
$1,000 for family to visit Chicago!
Suppose 500 people visit Chicago
from Waco territory; who are today
saving up money. Suppose they
spend $500 each; this equals $l5O,-
000 Most Of which is now in wait.
ing. Lost to the country
3. THE REMEDY AND THE ONLY
oNEl-Stop talking about hard times.
Spend your money at home! Talk of
our solid banks; our good condition.
our fine country, our fine city of
Waco. | have been in Waco ID
wears and there never has been in
that time "June" when the people
did not talk just as they do now.
From the LIST Of January to July LIST,
everything we use is bought from a
distance We are 'importers" about
