THE New Orleans States make a
hue and cry because a substitute
postal route agent is promoted to
the regular route, the same servant
of the people being Negro. In
the roasting which the States gives
the Democratic administration at
Washington it disclaims all inten-
ton Of Directing to the appoint
ment on account of the mans
color, but because he is a dishonest
Negro. 1t would be instructive to
scan roster of Negro employees of
the government whom the States
would write down as honest.

If these United States had MAIN
tanned an army of half million
men in time of peace how long
would it have taken to wipe out
the war debt? 1t costs Europe
nearly as much to maintain her
standing armies year after year as
the entire war debt of this country
amounted to at the close of the war.
Europe would be lots richer if she
only knew enough to take leaf
out of Uncle Sans book.

plains that the police of that city
are so busy coralling the cows of
the citizens at $1.75 a head that
they have no time to attend to
their legitimate duties, so that a
man "can be knocked down and
robbed within the very heart of
the city and the assassins and rob-
bers go undiscovered" Hard lines

EVEN the Houston Post cannot
reconcile Hogg's veto of the bill
validating land titles with what
does duty in that corporation for
conscience. BY that veto no end
of actual settlers are deprived of
their homes, and for what? To
wreak a personal spite against the
railroads? If not that for what
purpose were the titles to these
lands invalidated. This veto is
the most unjustifiable of any of
those that he has interpOsed against
legislative acts.

TIE savings bank is the saliva

they cultivate habits of economy

n SCORE of cities of the size of
San Antonio in the south are earn
estly co nsidcring sewer matters.
The time is at hand when this
question is to be taken up by this
city and intelligently investigated
in all its bearings upon the health
and the pockets of the citizens.
There is not so much need of haste
in the premises as to lead to i'll
advised and unwise action. The
demand for adequate sewerage is
recognized, also that there is no
time to waste in deciding upon
ways and means, but it is also
understood that no action is to be
taken until after the most careful
and exhaustive investigation by
sanitary and engineering experts
The work will be expensive, and
when it is done it must be so done
as to answer for long years to come.
To do the work so as to answer the
end of it's doing will demand the
greatest care and economy of time
and money that wisdom and a ripe
experience can command. This
work was among the necessities of
the future that were forecast when
the present city council was elected.
In entrusting this work to them
the citizens have given them the
strongest proof of their confidence.

THAT Geary law is all right. 1t
only provides for the registration
and proper Identification of those
Chinese who are legally in the
country, to the end that those who
are debarred from coming may be
kept out. Those who take the con-
trary view will come to a different
mind when they consider that
there are as many millions in
China, who could leave that
country without being missed, as
there are people in these United
States, and that every last one of a
full hundred million would be in
this country within ten years if
the bars were left down. The sit
uatiOn is serious, not on account of
the few hundred thousands who
are here now, butt on account of
the countless swarms who are
ready to come on the first intima-
ton that they would be permitted
to land and pursue their leprOus
way unmolested.

THE Chicago theatres remain
open on Sunday and the managers
of them are waiting with increas-
ing hopefulness for such move
ment on the part of the National
commission as will close the
Worlds fair gates on Sunday. If
this is done the theatres will reap
a golden harvest. 1t would puzzle
Peter to see how the cause of Sab
batarianism is to be helped by
closing the fair gates on Sunday in
order to turn the thousands that
would otherwise enter them into
the theaters, saloons and brothels.

binary course of travel is expected to reach
Washington by the last of July. Then
