Uncle Sam is inclined to lock the
stable in which he kept his foreign
commerce stations after they have
been stolen. 1t would have served
the turn better to have kept the
regulations in force by which the
ports Of Germany and Spain were
opened freely to our products, than
to raise sheol with those countries
because they have retaliated on us
for abrogating the existing COM
mercial treaties. Gresham is fuss
ing like an old granny at an &C.
couchement.

Cleveland will not be able to rush
his currency scheme through Con.
gress in one time and two motions,
as originally intended. The House
will digest it with it's Christmas
turkey before adoption.
Grover has again treated his
friends and the enemy to genuine
surprise in naming Clark to that
vacant Tennessee judgeship. This
is a habit that the President has
allowed to become chronic.
Congress would gladly adjourn
sine die and let the vexations of a
busted administration of public af-
fairs drop with dull thud upon
it's Republican successor, but it is
not so ordained.
Those votes by Republican sena-
tors in favor Of the sugar trust are
not creditable to the casters, even
If it was not out of regard for the
trusts, but to compel return to
free sugar and a bounty.
This country has no excuses to
offer for the Congressman in either
body who condone in any way the
illegal existence Of the sugar trust.
Those members of Congress will
settle at the polls.
Electric power is unquestionably
the power of the future, and the in
ventive genius of the age is cnal-
lenged to discover the most eco
nomical means of its generation,
transmission and application.
Chicago and San Antonio are
alike in this, their grand juries
have job of investigation into
alleged election frauds on hand.
Investigation is one thing and
calculation is another.
San Antonio and Gulf Shore road
makes less noise and does more
quiet construction than any road
that was ever built in or out of
this city. 1t will be hundred
miles out limo time.
This is the season when it is
we'll to remember that we have
the poor with us perpetual in
heritance. They cannot be abolish
ed by legislation and must per-
force be relieved.
John Burns says that Chicago
Is pocket addition Of hell. John

ter was hell on wheels. Now let
him tell which of the kinds of hell
he considers best.

There is visible improvement
in the character of many of the
southern papers Of late. They are
more enterprising in the collection
and publication Of news. they are
more fearless and less sectional in
their editorial utterances, they re-
Duke the party sins as Of old they
did not and dared not, they are
more and more alive to the needs
of their states and the best means
Of serving home interests. In all
this they deserve commentator
and increased patronage.

The general impression among
the travelled public, those who OBJ
serve as they travel, is that Texas
is a Southern state with more
Northern points observable in her
business and people than any Of
the other Southern states. Added
to this she has a wildness and
woolliness all her own that makes
her as attractive to the effete east
as a country lass is to a blase
Gothamite.

NOT SUCH A SLOW CITY.

Comparison is the only true me-
thod of measuring progress. When
we look only at that which seems
desirable Of accomplishment, or
needful in possession, we naturally
think that we are behind the times
in not having secured it. Then,
when we see where we stand today
and where we stood decade
ago, we absolutely wonder at the
march of improvement and think
that our progress instead Of being
unprecedentedly slow has been
reasonably rapid. No man who
saw the San Antonio Of ten years
ago, and compares it with the San
Antonio of today, but will eXclaim,
what have these years not wrought.
The measure of our future is best
taken in the movement OF our past,
and measured thus there is no city
in the state, possibly not one in the
South, that can take greater en-
enlargement for the future than
this little city in this beautiful
valley Of southwest Texas. Nearly
all the substantial improvements
that have been made in this
city have been made within
a considerably less period
than ten years. Six years in fact
will measure the introduction of
the great bulk OF our street i'm
provement, all Of our street paving,
all Of our electric motors and
street, car propulsion by that
agency, the paving and beautify-
ing Of all our plazas, the erection
OF the federal building and the city
hall and the county court house,
the opening of all Of the beautiful
suburbs that surround the city and
the drives that lead out to them,
the supply of the city by artesian
water, the organization of the
Jockey Club and the improvements
thereon, the building Of the upper
government post and the erection
of the barracks and officers quar-
tiers there, as well as nearly all of
the best residences in the city and
one half OF the best and most sub
stantial business blocks. Where
was Laurel heights six years ago?
Where Alamo heights, South
Prospect hill addition,
addition, East End
and all the rest OF the additions that
are such source Of pleasure and
profit to our citizens? Where even
was West End six years ago, the
oldest of all the additions to the
city building property? San An
tonic has taken to herself improve
ments as a garment during these
years, and while we in our haste
and impatience are somewhat in
clined to kick at the mossbacks
and write hard things against our
slowness, it would be we'll at the
close Of this year to let our minds
and eyes take in the changes of
these few years past and encOur-
age ourselves for the future in their
contemplation. 1t is also matter Of
congratulation that side by side
with all this material progress the
educational institutions OF the city
have kept fully abreast, and that
there is no reasonable doubt in any
we'll informed mind that the
schools of this city are leading the
schools of the state as certainly as
this city is in the van of all her
sister municipalities.

A rich man among the Arabs dresses
richly. His shirt is fine linen. His inside
vest is buttoned the outside one worn loose.
A long paletot often takes the place of the
latter 1t is cut part way down from the
neck, and the loose armholes allow the
arms to be held in or outside. The wide
trousers are bound about the waist by a
rich scarf. Over all is frequently worn the
long loose tunic, cut V shape at the neck,
and with short sleeves low down.
The hands are frequently kept inside-in
winter for warmth-and an Arab reaches
out from the V at the neck for anything he
wants handed to him with a peculiarly
limited motion which at first you fail to
comprehend. The burnoose is an out OF
doors garment, and the fez may or may not
have the turban cloth. The swell wears
European socks, and his slippers, usually
trodden down at the heel by the common OF
careless, are handsomely embroidered or OF
fine morocco, red or yellow.
The calf is naked. Parts of this dress are
dropped at intervals, according to the
weather or habit. There are few persons
more really magnificent than we'll dressed
Arab sheik or man of wealth. In our
days of business SUITS which cloak the god.
ly and ungodly alike, the dress is uncom,
monty attractive-on an Arab. That it
would suit our habits one will scarcely al,
lege But the trousers have one manifest
advantage. They do not, cannot bag at the
knee.-Harper's Magazine.

The Rev. F. I. Wethered writes to us
from Henley vlcarage, NARROW: "One OF
my sons, an officer in the army, while spin.
ming for pike from a skiff in the broad reach
above Newlock weir last Monday afternoon
got hold of a large trout. He was fishing
with a small spoon bait about an inch in
length. After some smart play my son
managed to bring it alongside the boat, and
his sister, who alone was with him at the
time, made an unsuccessful effort with the
landing net. The fish once more ran the
line out, but was again brought into close
quarters On another attempt to get the
beauty into the net the triangle at the base
of the spoon became entangled in the
meshes, and after regular tug of war, as
they described it to me at the time, the fish
broke the tackle and escaped. My children
had ample opportunity for gauging its size,
and they are confident that the length was
fully Sc inches and that it was proportion
ately broad. A storm Of rain was raging at
the time. AS an angler myself, think you
will like to have this perfectly accurate ac-
count. "-London Times.

A Devilhsh Story.

While Colonel Goodyear's crew were on
the bar and a big charge of dynamite was
being raised from the briny depths on &C
count of faulty cap, which would not ex-
plode, the workers suddenly experienced a
pulling of the lines which We're attached to
it. Almost instantly terrible commotion
was heard in the waters, and the spray be-
gan to rise above the little boat in immense
waves. Suddenly the two workmen, who
were in small boat, were amazed to see
the tentacles of monster devilfish soaring
80 feet in the air.
The foaming sea was about to engulf the
little craft, when the party in the large boat
observed the commotion. The touch of an
electric button would have ended the mon
ster, but the cup had been tried, and the
only way to save them was to cut the wire
connection and the ropes, which was soon
DONE and the terror Of the seas, after lash
ing around a short while, disappeared,
much to the relief of the party. The thrill
ing experience, as related by several gentle
men who were in the party, is indeed mar
velous. Nothing like it was ever seen by
them before, and they all wonder how the
two men ever escaped from it's awful
clutches.-Brunswick (Ga) Times.

4 CLERKS STUPIDITY.

A clerk in a dry goods store told us a
humorous incident which had for its
heroine a well known society girl. The
young man has in charge depart,
ment where paper patterns are sold,
and the other day in walked the afore,
said young woman anxious to buy the
pattern of a wrap for her aunt
What siZe?" queried the clerk. ooh,
do not know" answered the girl
Cannot you give me some idea?''
went on the youth, anxious if possible
to make sale. ''She is rather large
and above the average height, " laugh
ed the fair maid, but this answer was
not helpful, so she was obliged to 60
away without the desired pattern,
but as she was leaving the store a
bright thought struck her, and she
returned to the counter, and with
evident triumph in her face and man
ner announced, Il can get it now; she's
45 years DID," and she could not I'M
derstand why this vivid description
did not enable the stupid person be-
hind the counter to give her the ex-
act size that she required.

A RESPECTFUL TYRANT.
Beaumarchais and His Servant on the Eve
of the A nthnr,s death.

Beaumarchais and His Servant on the Eve
of the Authors Death.
Beaumarchais, famous French author
had servant, Antoine by name, who had
been long in his service, and against whose
tyranny he seldom ventured to rebel. One
evening in his old age the great man was
engaged in a game of chess, when Antoine
entered and said, somewhat sharply but
respectfully:
Monsieur, it is 10 O'clock"
Every well, Antoine" the master an.
swered; "but let me finish this game
'If you don't come now, monsieur, you
will be tired tomorrow morning"
''Oh, no, think not, Antoine"
And being tired you will not want to get
up"
"Oh, yes, Antoine, shall get up"
mo, monsieur, you will not get up"
"All right, Antoine ] will go in Il few
moments"
And if you are not up, monsieur, at the
usual time, you will derange your whole
day."
I'm minute; in a minute"
"And you will have no appetite fol
breakfast, monsieur"
"Come, now, let me finish this game
But the clock is slow, monsieur"
81 tell you it is fast"
1.-THE clock is slow, monsieur"
"Nowl Nowl The game is almost done
and them
But if the game were almost done you
would not have so many pawns left, mon.
sieur"
Antoine, should have been done al.
,,o,, bod lar mn olnpa
But l shall not let you alone, mon.
sieur.''
II tell you 1 shall finish the camel Get
out, Antoine.
1--WE will get out together, monsieur"
Antoine, Pm not baby!'
You do not cry, monsieur. Apart from
that there is not much difference"
The dialogue went ON in this way for
some time. Beaumarchais, Struggling his
shoulders, moved a pawn on the chess
board, and then Antoine, bowling Very low,
and with a great outward air of respect to
the company, seized the board and tipped
it over, dumping the chessmen in heap on
the floor.
Beaumarchais was on the point of flying
into violent rage, but at the sight of his
valet, who stood by wearing an air OF
sweet humility joined with the conscious
ness of duty nobly done, he burst into a
loud fit of laughter and suffered himself to
be led home and put to bed.
The very next morning Beaumarchais
was found dead in bed. Whether or not
the excitement of this mild controversy
with his valet hastened his death is not
known. Antoine, at any rate, was sure that
he had done his duty, and it is quite pos
sible that his care of the old gentleman had
already prolonged his life.-London Mil.
