MO as it is today, and each year
will emphasize that demonstra-
ton.
The comptroller's report of the
condition of the Texas National
banks is a good advertisement of
the financial soundness of the
state. 1t stands like a rock in the
midst of surrounding sands.
1t may be doubted if this city
ever was in any better sanitary
condition at this season of the
year, and it is equally true that
there are opportunities for i'm
| prOvement on every hand.
Governor Tillman cannot shoot
his state liquor ideas into the peo-
| pie of South Carolina with shot
gun. The attempt will be followed
by some funerals which the gov

There is no longer any doubt
that the free silverites in Congress
are primed and ready for any
movement on the part of the other
fellows, and they have made the
first point in the game.
The tympanus of the city fathers
should catch the cries that come
from the Atlantic and Gulfquaran-
tine stations and clean up this
city, putting it in the best possible
sanitary condition.
Bland sees no opening for read
justment of the ratio between sill

The Hogg wing of the state
Democracy will fuse with the Pop

the other wing of the party in pos
session of the state government.
The real objection that the reg
ular Democracy have to the Presi-
dents views on the silver question
is that those views are so heartily
endorsed by the Republicans.
Texas failed at Chicago and it
was bad failure for her. Fortu-
nately her banks and her business
houses are not failing and that
serves to even things up.
Texas has made provision for
the future wants of the children,
but this is no reason why the
present educational want should
be unprovided for.
The crop surplus of Texas will be
larger than ever before. This fact
alone should inspire great big
confidence in the business breast OF
the most fearful.
Those Central American states
should either put up, shut up, OF
blow up. Their revolutionary news
makes decent republic tired
San Antonio is not so poor that
she cannot give every child OF
school age within her limits a
common school education.
All parties declare in favor of the
parity of gold and silver, but one
