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

on the part of the editor Of the Post.
His article will do more harm and
throw moro 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 aud 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 no,
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 lmmi-
grants who come to this country, also
the mechanical classes are an advan
tsge 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 aod intelligent laborers
and farmers, who would come to this
country to rid themselves of such
people, and do US good.
BUYING WATER WORKS We hearth
ly commend the city council for their
wisdom in even failing to consider the
proposition to buy a 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 KEEP 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 set of aldermen as q
whole in whom the citizens of Waco
have great confidence md we should
stand by them and feel no uncasiness.
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 examir alton
should be had and any "pets' without
any other qualifications should be
promptly rejected remembering that

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 "efficienoy
be the rule and the "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 Il very sem
sitive thing like a rat peeping out
his hole, the least noise he darts back
The withdrawal Of gold from America
produced suspicion, and destroyed con
6dence. Those who could live
whether they drew revenue or not
said: 1--WE 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 backs 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
> 9 Every man and woman who can
is saving money to visit the Words
Fair. There has been no rush yet;
but Just think 1t cost from 800 ia
$1,000 for family to visit Chicago
Suppose 800 people visit Chicago
from Waco territory, who are today
saving up money. Suppose they
spend $500 each, this equals $l5O,.
600 Most of which is now in wait
ing. Lost to the country
