REDUCE THE RENTS.

San Antonio landlords might
very we'll take a leaf out of the
book of Landlord Harrison, mayor
of the city of Chicago, who recent
ly instructed his agents to reduce
rents to all his tenants on ac-
count of the hard times. Rents in
this city have followed the general
course of prosperity for the last de-
cade and gradually and steadily
climbed the golden stairs, but they
have not followed the general
course in taking a downward di-
r1ction since the current turned
that way. There is no good reason
why rents should be an exception
to everything else and be main
tanned at the old prices
while everything else tends to
lower figures. Merchandise and
all markets are lower in
the country and in this state and
city than they have averaged for
some years past, and there is no
good reason why the landlords
should prove an exception to all
other dealers and maintain rents
in the attics. There never was
time in the history of this city
when it was as difficult for the
renters of properties to make con-
nections, whether they are leasers
of business properties or of resi-
dences. Those who exact heavy
rents now are likely to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg.
Even if this is not so there is every
reason in equity why the land
lords of this city should re-
gard the situation and help
ameliOrate by a reasonable re-
ductiOn Of their rents. Certain
it is that those who rent are less
able to pay their rents at the same
figure today than they We're a year
ago, and yet in many instances
rents have advanced instead of
being lowered. 1t is true that
there is a demand for the buildings
or they would not be rented, but
this is no reason why those who
own them should not have regard
to the ability of their renters and
equaliZe matters by sharing the
restriction in business with their
tenants. Such course would
not only relieve the situation, give
real help to hundreds who actually
need it, but it would commend the
landlords to their tenants for the
future and justify an advance in
rents whenever the business situa'
ton improved. There is no doubt
that rents are high in thi:
city. They are always so, but this
is the penalty that the citizens pay
for living in city that builds only
to find every structure called fol

1t is now stated that Blount vir-

States accepted protectorate over
Hawaii before he left the Sand
witch Islands. If so, it is in order
for him to explain how it is that
his action as reported to the Unit
ed States government is so far at
variance with his recognition of
the protectorate Was his mission
only ruse to throw dust in the
eyes Of the American people and
bring the Harrison administration
into disrepute, while actually APP
proving it's policy as to Hawain
affairs? The last of this matter
has not yet been reached.

The New York Republicans feel
that they need only short cam
paign in which to wax the Demo
Gratis, also that the longer they de-
fer the convention the better their
chances of success at the polls.
There is no doubt that they are
wise in tuis conclusion, and it is
equally certain that the fate Of the
Democracy hangs on the elections
in New York, Ohio and Iowa. The
carrying of these states by the Re-
publicans this fall indicates a Re-
publican Congress to succeed the
present one and the full restOra-
ton to power of the Republican
party in the next general election.
All things shape themselves for a
sweeping Republican victory three
years hence and nothing that the
Democracy can do will prevent.
The only thing that can prevent
will be some Grass fOolishness on
the part of Republicans them
selves.

Texas is big state and she has
large population that is rapidly
increasing. 1t is in order for her to
lay the foundations for such
growths as will supply her people
and those of surrounding states, as
far as needed, with all that they
can consume of meats, grains,
fruits and vegetables. A soil of
unsurpassed fertility, a climate
that will permit her to plant for
the earliest market in the country
and lands of unequalled cheapness
enable her to command the situa-
ton and she will not be wise if she
does not improve her opportunity.

Obsolete Bridal Customs.

There was certain old custom
which, unluclxily for the brides of to-
day, has fallen into disuse. In old
times it was incumbent on the BRIDE
groom to place quite sum of money in
. purse on the wedding night and pre-
sent it to the bride. Afterwards this
was done the following morning and
the gift was called the Dow purse.
Another phase of the same thing ex-
listed in Cumberland, where the bride
groom provided himself with gold and
crown pieces Attic words with all
my worldly goods l thee endow" ne
gave the clergyman his fee and poured
the rest of the money into the handker'
chief which the bride held out In
other places it was the custom on the
day following the marriage for the
bride TO ask her husband for . gift o.
money or property and he was bound IN
honor to grant her request All thes<
delightful customs from the brides

upon by poor and penurious bride
grooms that they have been completely

Laftte's band of freebooters," said
Thomas Haines, once lieutenant in
the United States navy, at the Laclede.
HE was a tough-looling specimen and
must have been we'll past eighty years
of age, for it is more than sixty years
since Lafitte had his headquarters on
Galveston Island and preyed upon the
commerce of the Gulf The relic Of
those half-forgotten times was an in
mate of Jersey City charitable insti-
tuition and was not much inclined to
discuss bygones. He said, however, that
Laftte was very handsome French
man, more than six feet in height, well
made and possessed of wonderful talents
as a commander lie ruled the tough
est lot of men ever congregated on one
island as though they were q flock OF
lambs Occasionally lawless spirit
would rebel. however, but his days
thenceforth were brief and full Of
trouble Every woman who came in
contact with Lafitte fell in love with
him, and he was as safe among his fe
male friends in New Orleans as on Gal
weston island surrounded by his armed
buccaneers.
According to this survivor promi
nent New Orleans lawyer once gave La
fitte offense and he made pilgrimag'
to the city to kill him, but changed hi
method of revenge and persuaded hi
enemy's handsome young wife to elop
with him. According to this ancien
