CAN the acts of congress restore
confidence tO.the trade and finan
ces of the nation? This is the ques-
ton that is of more Importance
today than all the others. There is
not business man in the cOun-
try that does not know that the
currency of the country guaran-
teed by the government is as good
as gold, and that without a dollar
of gold reserve it is as good as it
is with a reserve of hundred mil
lion, for the entire revenue and re-
sources of the country are back of
that currency, but this fact does
not seem to be considered by the
public, and the gold of the country
is being boarded for a possible
rainy day that can only come by
this very blindness of the people
in refusing to consider the real
sources of their financial security.

IF the sand-lots politicians of

IN a government of the people
by the people and for the people
the people are not considered. If
they We're it would not take so
much of their substance to provide
for their government.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1893-07-05

EVERY day the conviction
strengthens that this is a too much
governed country. 1t costs alto
gether too much of the substance
of the people to provide for the
national and state governments.
The minds of the people are con-
fused by the complex conditions
that have arisen under exaggerated
ideas Of the need of cumbersome
regulations for the regulation of
national and state affairs and as a
result there is disregard of present
law and no respect for the law
makers.

CUNEY has been knocked out at
last, but Galveston is not pleased
over the change by large MAORI
ty. 1t might have been possible
to have selected more unpopular
man than Finley for collector of
the port of Galveston, because all
things are possible to a Democratic
administration, but it wonld be
mighty hard to find the man.
Certain it is that Finley is as I'M
popular as it is healthy to be, and
his nomination is direct insult to
the Germans of that city who
have done all that is in their
power to defeat his appointment.
Not only so, but the member of
congress from Galveston, Gresham,
has worked like beaver to pre-
vent it, but all to no purpose. 1t is
the work of Mills and Coke and
they have made pretty mess of
it. Native Texans, of the pure
and unadulterated breed, residents
of Galveston, say that they would
far rather have had Quincy con-
tinued in office that have seen
Finley appointed. There is a hot
box on the Galveston car, in the
Democratic train, and the wheels
are not going to turn smoothly.

THE Galveston News leaves the
impression, from it's special Wash

ponents of Finley have been lying
about him, and that when
Gresham and Cleveland found
that out they Immediately agreed
upon his nomination as an act of
justice to him and to themselves.
All the same the Germans and
the Galveston member of Congress
are hot over the result.

WHAT this city stands in dire
need of is lower water rates and
cheaper lights. If the electric
plant can clear $50 a day out of it's
contract for lighting the city why
would it not be good thing for
the city to own it's own plant?
That $4,000 a year would come
mighty handy to chink in with.
There are indications on the part
of the council that cheaper lights
and water will be provided within
the next two years. 1t would be-
very acceptable to the people.

Methodist church, some time ago
which served to call a halt on long.
winded sermons. The hOusekeeper of
the parsonage is an Indian woman,
who was secured through the Carlisle
training school, and who has ever been
one of most prompt attendants at all
the church services. The pulpit was
filled one Sunday evening during the
warm summer months by an old time
clergyman, whose prosy doctrinal SER
mon of a full yard WIDE" set many in
the audience a mapping long before the
"ifthly and finally section of the dis
course had been reached. The Indian
housekeeper, unaccustomed to such an
innovation, and being regular in her
hours of retiring, after several vigor-
Gus yawns stood up in her place in the
''meetin' house." and raising up her
right hand exclaimed in broken Eng
fish: Home! me sleepy" The effect
was electrical; the sermon was cut
short and the congregation soon dis
missed, and short sermons are said to
be in order since that day at Olney.
