licanism is anarchy in that country
the change may be for the better,
but it will be along time before
that country will find another Dom
Pedro to give it liberty and stabil-
ity.
That Roanoke incident teaches
the danger Of the attempted en-
forcement of the laws by the au-
thorities in that uneasy east. Had
it been in the wild and woolly
west there would have been less
surprise felt, but in Old Virginia?
Who would have thought it?
| Not ten per cent Of those who
risked life and limb in that mad
rush for the Strip will be within
its bounds this time next year.
How much men are like sheep
going through gap in the fence.
Brennan Banner complains of
the lack of Democratic harmony in
San Antonio. Bexar county De-
| ocrats are in the seventh heaven of
harmony compared to the sheol
that the state Democracy inhatit.
The Corpus Caller seems to have
abandoned the hope of securing
deep water at Ropes Pass. The
heart of the Caller has not been
in that work for many moons,
but it is not dead by good deal
There has been a good deal of
wind expended over the prospects
of rain, but there is neither rain
nor wind enough in sight to affect
this horribly enervating weather.
September has been sweater.
1t is not suspension of opinion
that is required in this Breckin-
ridge case so much as suspension
of Breckenridge. His retention of
his seat as a member of congress is
disgraceful to the country.
The decision of the great mine
owners in the east, only to employ
American citizens in the future, is
a decision that means whole lot
for the labOrers of this country,
means it for their good.
Another week of inaction on the
part of the National Senate is
ushered in. That body seem det-
ermined to give the country no re-
lief from the deadening effect of
Legislative imbecility.
No man who has ever filled the
chair of the chief magistracy in
this state will be elected governor
of Texas next year. This is so
nearly official that it goes with
those who are posted.
When Senator Vest says that he
never changes his opinions, he
simply announces that he has no
opinions to change. The country
has suspected this for long time
and now it knows it.
The Strip is open and so is the
ear of the lawyer and the court to
VeXations claims and counter
claims that it will take genera
ton to settle. The lawyers pocket
book will grow fat.
1t is getting fashionable to call
Cleveland's supporters John Sher-
man democrats. There is no dis
count on that name. 1t is high up

men and patriots.
Distance lent enchantment to

location, but you can gamble on
the proposition that the view will
not return the enchantment that
distance lent her.
When Hon. Barnett Gibbs says
that the silver controversy is a
| blind and that the real issue is on
the tariff, he senses the situation
exactly. The real fight has not as

sanitary authorities all over the
south of the danger of growing in
sanitary in permitting unsanitary
measures in the street cleaning de-
partments.
The present panic did not follow
years of initiation. 1t was the re-
suit of fear which induced con-
traction so general that the whole
circulation of the country was in
| VOlved.
There is a world Of danger to
health in this close, murky, steam
ing atmosphere. The ounce of pre-
ventive is not enough for the con-
ditions. 1t were well to make it a
pound.
| Puck says that Time flies fast on
the wings of promisOry note.
