San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-07-12

labor, for there is little or nolnlng
doing in that world. The "Sover-
eign," who orders the striking Of
million men under these conditions
is a sovereign fool.
Drbs Is himself the most berti-
nent comment on Debism. 1t is a
strange condition Of affairs that
renders the existence and work Of
such a man possible. The end of
such a man treads hard on the
heels Of his beginning.
There is no necessity of dropping
work for that Live Stock exhibit
because a few Simon SlowmotiOns
have not come up TO the rack with
the expected fodder. That bust
ness wants hustling for.
The San Antonio LIGHT not only
shines for all, and that at popular
prices, but its Illuminating rays
glow stronger and penetrate far
Their as year after year is added to
its age and usefulness.
The railway orders that are
standing firm upon the invlolable-
ness of their contracts are teaching
a lesson that will bear abundant
fruits for their own sustenance in
the days to come.
1t is too late to arbitrate this
present strike. The strikers re.
sorted to the arbitrament of force,
and by the forces of the state and
national governments will that
strike be settled.
President Davis, of the Gulf road
is wearing a yard broad smile
This strike does not effect him. The
strike in which he is interested is
the striking of the picks of his con-
struction trains.
The present indications, as seen
in the strike situation, is that Tex
as has fewer fool fellows in her
territory than any OF her sisters
west of the Mississippi. Big state
anu Dig Sense.
The strike has downed Reagan.
This is the only thing that has sue
ceeded in overshadowing his pre-
tensions to the throne of the Lone
Star State. Debs is bigger man
than Reagan.
The late rains have greatly i'm
proved cotton prospects in several
localities of this state, but it is not
a sprinkle but a deluge that the
Lone Star state is thirsting after at
this present.
The object of this strike is SIM
ply the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of that
particular order that has ordered it.
This means the enforcement of
Debs as the autocrat of American
industries.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat
hoists "old glory" at the head of its
strike columns, as reminder that
the government Of these United
States is still doing business at the
old stand.
Between tariff disgruntlement
and this railway strike the Demo-
cratic party has fallen on troublous
times. They will be in measure
relieved by their Republican friends
this fall.
The destructiveness of this strike
is appalling. 1t is costing the rail-
roads million day in the city Of
Chicago alone. 1t would be econ
omy to pension the whole army Of
Debs.
The man who receives the NOM
ination of the Texas state Democ-
racy for governor will not be man
who has spent the entire vigor of
his years pulling at the public
teat.
The hour is most propitious for
the establishment by congress OF a
board of national arbitration.
Will Prendergast save his neck
from the halter by the grace Of his
sympathiZer, the Governor?
If there is a state in this Union
that is stacking up better than the
Lone Star, where is itat?
The indictment of Debs comes a
week too late. Delays in case of
this kind are dangerous.
Altgeld has at last consented to
call out all the state guards. He
hated to but he had to.
All Texas is ready for the clouds
to lift and the sun of prosperity to
shine forth clearly.
