THE sentiment is freely express
ed that the Democratic party is on
trial, now that it has both houses
of congress and the administrative
branch of the government in it's
hands, but it is not so certain what
the issue of that trial is to be. 1t
looks now as though the result
would be to nOnsuit the party in
1896, for it is already apparent
that the evils that they magnitied
as of Republican origin, and which
were to be abolished by democratic
rule, are on the increase. There
is no cOherency in the Democratic
party, only the cOherency of a
political name, there being no
agreement upon the questions of
tariff EOr the greater question of
the currency, the two questions
that the political party in power
is called upon to settle to the sat-
isfaction of the country before it
can have any hope of renewed
power at the hands of the people.
1t was an unfortunate thing for
the future of the Democracy that
they came into full possession of
the government at such a forma-
tive period of our history, before
the policy of the country towards
which Republicanism had been
shaping for a quarter of century
was fully fixed.

WHEN the bounty is knocked off
sugar and a high tariff is restored,
then will the beet sugar grower
come to the front with his product,
and he will largely supply the
sugar of the future. When that

ing out fifty tons of raw beets to

and it will surely come.

peaches by the car load, and the

and the central part Of the state
will drop into line a little later. A

the Texan who now pays two
prices for his fruits and berries
will eat the richest productions of
the orchard and the vine at prices
that put these luXuries within the
means of the poorest.

SAN ANTONIO moves on the even
tenor Of her way regardless Of the
efforts of those at home and abroad
who would trample on the skirts
of her immaculateness. The old
city is in the high road of prOsperi-
ty and finds it easier to live down
a false accusation than to enter the
courts and plead against her adj
versaries. She understands that it
is her prominence in all good
words and works that makes her a
bright and shining target for the
shafts of the envious and the jeal-
Gus, and moves on in her destined
orbit, regardless.

LET US HAVE PEACE.


that the enforcement of law in
this city is an impossibility should
come and bring their families and
remain awhile. They will find
that there is no infractiOn of any
law against the person or property
that is not promptly punished
that the streets are safe for all
classes at all hours of the day or
| night; that there is less rOwdyism
here than in any city of its size in
the south; that its churches are
numerous and we'll attended; that
It's schools are the equal of those
established in any city; that its
plazas, gardens, and places of pub
lie resort are unusually free from
the presence of tramps, buns, loaf
ers and disreputables of all kinds,
and that in all makes up the whole
of well ordered city San Antonio
takes the lead. 1t is true that our
places of recreation and pleasure
are not closed on Sunday, and
the reason that this is so is
because the great majority of our
people prefer that they should re-
main open. They so prefer because
they think that those who labor
all the week should not be debar-
red from spending their Sunday in
taking their pleasure in their own
way, because they think that the
regulation of a mans habits is a
personal matter, because the y
deny the right of the state to leg
islate upon the question of Sun
day observance, because they
have seen tho evils of puritan leg
islatiO n in other places and would
avoid it, because they know that
in those cities that are placed I'M
der strict Sabbatarian laws there
is no security for that peace and
quiet that is enjoyed in this city.
These are the reasons, with others,
that induce our people to resist
the attempt to turn the whole city
into Sunday school. They
have lived and prOspered
here under the law of lib
erty for half century,
and do not relish the attempt to
write them down as lawlesS and
prOfane and dangerous and de-
bauched, because they will not
adopt the ideas of a minority and
consent to the regulations that a
bigOtry, born Of the times of the
cOVenanters and the puritans,
would impose upon them. If this
was mere fight for the saloons,
as many imagine, it would not
enlist the opposition of thousands
of our citizens who today resist the
coerciOns of the committee of mis-
guided an misapplied morals. 1t
is a fight for the privileges of free
dom on Sunday as on every other
day, a fight growing out of pro-
found conviction that the state has
no power to regulate Sabbath OBJ
SerVanCeS.

BALTIMORE can turn her entire

she cannot stop the counting in the

treats. Those park commissioners
are as men born out of due time.
Just as well attempt to arrest the
birds for kissing their little bills in
the branches, or the squirrels from
counting on the sly in the fork of
some solemn old Oak,as to prevent
the boys and girls from showing
the human nature that is now as it
