Strike while the iron is hot is a
good old motto. San Antonio is
warming up to the need of doub-

the time to strike for more is just
now while the fire burns.

The decree has gone forth from

Governor Francis of Missouri has

Ex-Governor Ross is of the same
opinion that other observing men
in Texas are, that none of the lead
ing candidates now before the peo-
pie stand a show of the nomina-

carry off the purse. That is all that
Mccall hopes for, that he may be
that dark equine.

The Panhandle district is almost
solid for Lanham, but the centers
of population are not in that Sec
ton of the state. Tarrant and 9TH

however, with more to follow. The

with favor all over the state among
conservative men.

The conversion of the Democratic
party to the formerly accursed
principles of protection, is one of
the most notable things of the
present session of Congress. The
unfortunate thing about the change
is that it is a change of policy and
not change of heart, being with
out any repentance.

The building Of any one railway
line into this city necessarily facil-
itates the building of others. Push
that Brownsville road to the con-
struction point and the Katy and
the Santa Fe will follow of their
own notion, and then the entrance
of the Rock Island would be as
assured. Pull for the road.

Heavy rate cutting in Texas is
not so much desired as some sys-
tematic effort for cheap rates for
those who come into the state
prospecting for homes and invest
ments. The state is so remote from
the great. centers of population
that 1t is great expense for pros
pectors to come on simply to view
the land and examine conditions,
precedent to purchase and settle
ment. Such action on the part of
the railways as will enable these
men to come into the state upon
the most favorable conditions is
most to be desired. The state will
do the rest after her resources are
actually known.

MONDAY, JUNE II, 1894.

The two railroads that have
challenged the aid of this city in
their construction have peculiar
claims upon the business of San
Antonio. The first, the San An
tonic and Gulf Shore road, opens
to the trade of this city not only
a magnificent section of the state,
but it brings her into direct COM
municatiOn by rail with the deep
est outlet to the Gulf that the
state possesses. The second, the
International and Great Southern,
opens to her trade all that lies be-
tween this city and the Rio Grande
below Laredo, and all the trade of
north east Mexico, while at the
same time opening to her mer-
chants the Port of Tampico, the
best Gulf Port on the Mexican
coast.
