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
ieellns, Impede immlgraticn and
hurt the business men of Waco more
than q 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 Pos, 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 tina. 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 lmmi
grants who come TO this country, also
the MCDANIEL classes are an advan
tage but our immigration doors have
always been to vide open, admitting
the very soums of the old country ami
by this reason keeping back the hon
est, desirable and intelligent aborers
and farm rs, 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 water works, or
to sprinkle the streets. There are
| but two thing which would Justify the
CITY council IN making investments or
going In deb; at this time, is to build
/ sewerage.
To KEEP OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM We
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 a
whole in whom the citizens of Waco
have great confidence md we should
stand by them and feel no uneasiness
OUR SCHOOL TRUSTEES - Up to
this time the action of the board so far
as we know has been wise and for the
good OF Waco A rigid examination
should be had and any "pets without
any other qualifications should be
promptly rejected remembering that
the schools of Waco are not chart
ty institution nor wet nurse shut are
for the benefit of the people. Now is
the time OF all times for our new
superintendent to see that deficiency
be the rule and the "trlmmors"
should be freely used where needed. !"
Get the idea? Let no one dictate
qualifications.
FINANCIAL. THE CAUSE TIE
REMEDY Why is money hard to
get?
lsr. Because money is very sem
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
tidence Those who could hive
whether they drew revenue or not
said eve will simply allow our
money to lay in the banks and vaulss
until the storm is over" we can live
any way This resulted in banks not
being able to get money and the peo-
pie could not get money If the banks
could not The results were as we
see, many bank failures
Every man aud woman who can
is saving money TO visit the Wor d 5
Fair. There has been no rush yet;
but Just think 1t cost from 800 to
1000 for a family to visit Chicago!
Suppose 800 people visit Chicago
from Waco territory; who are today
saving up money. Suppose they
spend $500 each; this equals $3.50.
COO Most of which is now in wait
ing. Lost to the country
3 The REMEDY AND THE ONLY
ONE Stop talking about hard times
Spend your money at home, Talk Of
our sohd banks; our good condition;
our fine country; our fine city OF
Waco | have been in Waco Is
years and there never has been in
that time "June" when the people
did not talk just as they do now
From the Lot Of January to July LIST,
everything we use is bought from a
distance We are 'importers" about
