WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1894.

Reports furnished by one hun
dred manufacturers in the state of
New York show that while the
average mum Der of hands employed
in 1892 was 22,O26 in 1898 it was
only 1880 and so far in 1894 it has
only been 1860. This decrease Of
over AZ per cent in the number of
hands finding employment in these
mills is directly due to the restora-
ton of the free trade Democracy to
power. 1t also demonstrates that
the industrial conditions grow
worse as the time for the passage
OF the Wilson bill approaches.
These facts are worth a whole vol
ume of theory as to the industrial
effect of that measure. There is
nothing in it for the workingman
or farmer or the manufacturer. 1t
is not asked for by any class Of
people and can benefit none. Why
pass it is an unsolved mystery.

That insurance convention IL
session at Dallas this week should
sit down hard on that co-insur
ance clause. There is a reckoning
to come with the companies that
father that iniquity.
National business is business
and requires business methods in
| it's conduct to insure success, but
the methods Of this Congress would
swamp any business on earth in
less than four years.
1t may be Democratic but it is
un-American to sap the life blood
of our home industries to tide it
through the veins of a rival pro-
Queer. This is what is being done
in Congress today.
Culberson's opening speech shows
that he is a shrewd politician, with
out any suspicion of the statesman
in his composition. Will his rivals
show anything better when they
open their digits.
There is mighty power of re-
cuperation to this country, but this
Democratic Congress is taxing it to
the utmost of it's resources, and will
milk the treasury dry before they
leave it in 1897. - :,.-;.-S-. So
If Reagan is not chosen as the
regular candidate of the Democ-
racy will he be an irregular one by
virtue of his inherent right to
draw his salary from the treasury
of the state?
Reagan says that he is not handi-
capped this year as he was in 1892
and that he will pay his respect
to George Clark with due reference
to the old score that he has laid up
agains him.
The POpulists seem to be prefer
naturally active in Texas very
early in the season, butcan they
keep up their ticks until the ides
of November?
Coxey's followers are at least
consistent. They stick by their
determination not to work even if
they starve by it.
Houston is the only city in Tex
as in which a contingent of tn e
tramp army could be recruited.
Breckenridge presumes upon the
leniency that has been shown him
by the people of this country.
Rockport is comforting herself
with promises of work resumed at
Arkansas Pass. Cold comfort.
English manufactures are al
ready growing fat on the deple-
tions of American industry.
There are no contentious over
the paternity of the tariff measure
on the part Of Senators.
Foster has found a hitch in the
rain arrangements that he had all
fixed for this region.
The drouth area is greatly cur
tailed, but it is not cut "smack
smoove off,"
Work on that Gulf Shore road
will be pushed right along from A
to lizard.
The cry of the drouth sufferer
is still heard in some parts of the
land.
1t was "Vox Populi. Vox Del" in
the case of that Gulf Shore road.

His career here was short but brilliant,
as we'll as romantic. He came here on
one OF the Norfolk line steamers from
Baltimore, and astonished the town by ap-
pearing the next day on the streets In
company with SIX beautiful young ladies,
who turned out to be schoolmsrms that
he had accidentally met on the boat.
He had trouble on the boat before he
left II, for he owed the steward u bill of

FarCiCaI Way Of Doing
City'S Business.
COUNCIL BEING IGNORED
But the Board May Now Condescend
to Notice II.

II has not been customary since the
city was incorporated to consult the
Common Council 10 any extra
ordinary extent on highway matters
or expenditures. In all prob
ability, this custom would have
been continued this year were II not
for the fact that the money is gone and
now the Highway Department is all at
sea so that Ia order TO get further appro-
priation II is necessary to specify each
street that every dollar is TO be spent on; F;
therefore the Council is invited to take a
hand IN.
This, however, is one thing for that
body To be thankful for.
The Board OF Aldermen IL inclined TO
arroeate to itself all the powers that II
can. Recently contracts have been
made with several companies about
stringing wires over the streets at 80 n uch
per wire. They haye jurisdiction over al
lowing the use OF the highways for tele-
phone and telegraph companies and such
like but how one branch of the city gov.
ernment can pass an ordinance regulating
the terms upon which they can be run II
is not so clear.
AehlH We uhNt lub IEONlutuNt ltlS-
phone Co. looking for the right TO open
our streets aud build conduits and the
Board OF Aldermen, to whom the matter
was sent referred II Co a Committee OF the
Board to consider instead OF to the joint
standing Committee on highways, TO
whom IL properly belonged.
Then when the committee "sat on it,
long enough to hatch out something, II
reported back an ordinance or an order OF
the Board, and passed It and never sent 1,
to the Common Council.
What a iarcical way OF doing the city'S
businessH Probably there may have
some campaign expenses in it.
