etS.--FinanCeS.
We consider the article from the
German "Post" as in very bad faith
on the part Of the editor Of the Post.
His article will do more harm and
throw more 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 and 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 not
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 immi-
grants who come to this country, also
the mechanical classes are an advan
tage 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 aud 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.-W
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 uneasiness
OUR SCHOOL TRUsTEEs.--U Up to
this time the action of the board so fal
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 tina
"the schools of Waco are not chart
ty institution nor wet nurse "but art
for the benefit of the people. Now ii
the time OF oil times for our new
I 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. TIL
REMEDy.-Why is money hard Il
get?
, LIST. Because money is a very sen
sitive thing; like rat peeping out o
his hole, the least noise he darts back
The withdrawal of gold from America
produced suspicion, and destroyed con
fdence. Those who could liv'
whether they drew revenue or no
said ave will simply allow GU
money to lay in the banks and vault
until the storm is over" we can liv'
, any way This resulted in banks no
! being able to get money and the peo-
7 pie could not get money if the bank
l could not The results werc as W
I see; many bank failures.
9. Every man and woman who cal
is saving money to visit the World
Fair. There has been no rush yet
r but just think 1t cost from 500 t
$1,000 for family to visit Chicago
] Suppose 500 people visit Chicag
! from Waco territory; who are toda
}, saving up money. Suppose the
d spend $500 each, this equals $3.50,
, OOOl Most of which is now in wall
). ing Lost to the country!
3. THE REMEDY AND THE ONL
oNEl-Stop talking about hard times
q Spend your money at home! Talk
b our solid banks; our good condition
our fine country; our fine city
