THE death by retail does not sat
isfy the angel of destruction this
year and the slaughter by whole
sale is resOrted to. Hungary and
Guatemala have both been visited
by the destruction that wasteth at
MONDAY, and hundreds have per-

Mans inhumanity to man makes
countless millions mourn, but the
old mother, Nature, is to the full
as cruel as any of her children.

IT is even now painfully appar-
ent that IIOgg has not been able to
corral legislation this session as he
fOndly hoped and as he succeeded in
doing two years ago. For this fail
ure on the part of his unSaVOrincss
the state owes thanks to the SEN
ate. May neutrality-suspicious. never
grow less, or their power Of resis-
tanCp weaken.

MEN AND WOMEN

Many men and women who a sho t time
ago thought themselves of strorg physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of IRON marvel
at Their feeling Of exhaustion and total lack
of interest in their business affairs. They
are Overpowered by sense of laSsitude,
IanguOr and dullness. Their Wanted
strength and self control seem to have left
them when most needed; already they have
experienceda lack of old time vigor, a GER
tain lack of confidence, and nervous appre-
henSiOn instead of the old courage; a con-
slant feeling of las ,itude and waning am
bition; their blood is impoverished, their
eyes luSterleSs, they are haunted with mel
ancholy and frequently have the blues;
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
and night by night; they are easily diScOur-
aged, irritable, mOrOSe and unhappy pleas
ureS tire and friends bore them.
DO you know what your trouble is, or
what you are coming to? Come at once and
consult DR.. ); n. Hathaway, the successful
specialist of this city, and he will tell you
also how to get cured. Do not delay.

If SOME plan could be adopted
by which the competency of the
state officers will be doubled with
the doubling of their present term
ofservice, there would be general
demand for the change, but in case
the double term brings a double
stupidity it would be the worst
double that the state has ever
made. Better by far single bles-
sednesS than such a double cursed
ness.

THERE is such a marked de
crease in the number Of cattle in
these United States as shown by
the statistics Of the agricultural
department, that cattle must rule
high for the next year or two. This
is good news for the southwest,
where the cattlcmcn have been
under the harrow for the past four
of five years. 1t is high time that
the tide turned in their favor.

THE Republicans find solid sat
isfactiOn in the reflection that
Grover Cleveland is not enough of
a Democrat to endangcr the well
fare Of the country. In his finan-

ideas and in his foreign policy hC
is much more in harmony with
Republican declarations than he is
with Democratic ones.

MORE IMPORTANT WORK.

The citizens of San Antonio who
| entered into the late municipal
election for the sole purpose Of Sc
curing a better administration of
the city government are but little
interested in the division of the
| offices in the gift of the council,
only in so far as the question of
efficiency is concerned. 1t is no
concern of theirs to whom the
parquisites fall, provided that they
fall upon those qualified, but they
are concerned to know as speedily
as is practicable the financial con-
ditiOn of the city, what steps are to
be taken to rehabilitate her de-
pleted treasury, what sums will be
required to carry on the Legitimate
work of city government and what
immediate steps are to be taken
to put the city in that SANTA
~ condition necessary to insure
the best protection possible against
the dread scOurge that threatens
this country from month to
month. There is a little impa-
thence to see the lesser matters of
appointment to office settled and
l,A hn
problem of the situation. The city
has elected a board of aldermen
amply qualified for the response
bic work that is committed to
them, if they undertake that work
in the spirit Of their election and
do not allow questions Of appoint
ments and other matters of anisr,
mint and cummin to distract their
and divide their cOunSclS.
There is difficult work before
the present administration, and all
the wisdom of the council will be
demanded in dealing successfully
with the problems that arise. ,Up-
on the action of this council the
future credit and prosperity. Of the
city depends, and the gravity Of
the situation is so we'll known that
every action of that body is watch
ed with the utmost anxiety. Vhp
