There should be no difficulty in
determining a policy for the gov
eminent of the United States, in so
far as its commercial and indus
trial relations with other countries
is concerned. The one true policy
is to look out for those of her own
household, and let the other ma
tions look out for themselves. The
idea that this country is to feed all
lands, even if her own people
starve, is one of those cranky no.
tions that exists only in the brain
of the enthusiast, and it should be
weeded out.

SETTLED AT LAST.

The city council at its last eve
ming's meeting settled the Water
works controversy, by ratifiying
the contract entered into between
the committee of the council and
the Waterworks company, as APP
pears in the LIGHTS council pro-
ceedings in this issue. This is mat
ter of profound congratulatiOn.
The people of San Antonio had
grown exceedingly weary Of seeing
the council march up the hill and
then march down again. The con-
tract might as we'll have been
signed months ago as today, for
all of the substantial benefit that
the city has derived from the delay.
But that is passed, and it is de-
voutly to be wished, for the credit
of the city and the faith that the
public should have in the invi-
liability Of municipal contract,
that this present contract will not
be monkeyed with during the term
Of its existence under the ordinance
passed yesterday evening. The
city suffers at home and abroad
whenever any doubt or uncertain
ty is thrown upon the good faith
OF the municipal administration in
preserving inviolate the spirit as
we'll as the letter of its contracts.
This is vital matter in maintain
ing the credit Of the city, and one
that cannot be left out of the &C
count. There are moral obligations
as well as legal ones in every con-
tract that the city enters
into, and it should hold it.
self to a strictness and honor
ableness in all its transac-
tions that places it above suspi
cion OF any sharp practice. The
broad and well defined principles
that govern all high minded bust
ness men should govern the City
Administration in all it's dealings,
and it is not enough that it can
point to some legal loophole and
maintain that there is a way of es-
cape from its obligations through
that opening. The mere word OF
the city should be as good as its
bond. II that word has passed
