THURSDAY. FEBRUARY l, 1894

What will San Antonio do with
the proposition that was made to
her for a 100000 bonus to help
build that Gulf road, conditional
upon securing all of the shops and
offices of the road and the begin
ming of the work from this end?
There is no doubt that it will
greatly benefit the business of the
city and increase her income very
largely for the period Of coDstruc-
ton, as we'll as add materially to
the permanent trade of her mer-
chants after it is completed to the
Gulf, but it does not yet appear
that our citizens see the PROPOSE
ton so clearly as to accept it. The
matter is in the hands of the
committee to be appointed by the
chairman of Tuesday nights meet
ing and the result depends almost
entirely upon them. This is a case
in which money talks and the
fellow who cannot put up is large
ly bottled up. All the same the
labOring man is greatly interested
in the building Of the road, if for
no other reason that it will give
him immediate employment. The
sum asked is a considerable one
for these times, but the benefits
will largely outweigh the outlay,
provided that the promoters OF the
road can show a clear probability
of building it.

The POpulists Of Texas war on
both Of the great political parties
of the Nation. This is natural, as
the Populists are the Ishmaelites
of the political world, their hand
against every party and every par
ty against them. If they do no
more than bust the Texas DemOc-
racy in this next election the party
will not have lived in vain. 1t is
useless to hope that such views as
they set forth can generally obtain

popular mind. They are too in.

Will those who are agitating the
holding of a fair at San Pedro Park
tell where the ground for race
track is to come from, where the

decent crowd would not be herded

HARD TIMES MASQUERADE

capacity and was the scene of many fun
ny faces and much hearty laughter.
Good music was furnished for the occa-

the Hall and requested to unmask, the

OF surprise and peals of laughter. The

were awarded to Gil Brazier, and Mrs.

Fusion Is Confusion,

Mr.. Edgertons article on fusion in
Nebraska has been read with the great
est interest by every member of the Pop
ulist delegation in the house and senate.
Chairman Taubeneck smiled all over
when he perused it. This question of
fusion is the nightmare of politics. We
have never had any Of it in Nebraska
We have always run a straight ticket.
The result has been two members in the
house and Allen in the senate. 1t will
have to be settled soon. Is the Populist
party to remain permanent independent
organization, or is it to sink it's indie
pendence by fusion with Republicans in
the south and Democrats in the north?
Is the organization to be used to incor-
porate certain great principles into our
form of government, or is it to be an in
strument to put a man into Office here
and there and finally die out? No Demo
crat will offer to fuse with the Populists
as long as there is a possibility of election
on the Democratic ticket. 1t is where
there are not Democrats enough to elect
him that he wants to fuse. The same is
true of the Republicans. It follows that
fusion can only result in electing Dem
ocrats where they are in a minority and
Republicans where they are in minori-
ty, and in either case the policy of the
general government will not be changed.
That being SO, what reason can be given
for the cost of supporting three party or
ganizations?-W Washington Cor. Noncon-
fOrmist.

Praise For PETER.

Senator PETER of Kansas has recently
submitted a report to the senate that
will give him a reputation. for it is an
unusually able document judged from
any standpoint, and as an argument in
favor of the Populist policy it is the
strongest that has yet appeared. 1t
shows the long whiskered senator to be
man of profound thought and study,
and very few reports of it's length pre-
sented to the senate can compare with it
in literary merit.
The report embodies the results of Mr..
Peffer's inquiries, as the representative
of the senate committee on agriculture
and forestry, into the condition of the
agricultural industries of the United
States. Although it came from the
printing Office only a few days ago. every
copy has been called for at the docu-
ment rooms, and new edition is to be
published to supply the demand of sena-
tors for the information and statistics it
contains, which are going to be quoted
extensively during the tariff debate

A Tip From the Enemy.

If the Populists have grain of sense,
they will have organizations in every
state in the country this year and candi-
dates in every congressional district.
No party ever had better opportunity
than the Populists this year. Of course
they cannot put majority in the house,
but with hard work they can elect enough
members to hold the balance of power
and bring one or both of the old parties
to their senses. If they cannot dictate
legislation, they can at least prevent any
more picking and stealing and help the
Democrats to throw off the yoke which
the plutocracy has put upon them.
Such an outcome of the elections next
November would be welcomed by no one
more warmly than by the real Demo-
Gratis of the Democratic party. 1t would
be salutary lesson and probably break
or very much weaken the influence of
the men who, if they are allowed their
will, are sure to lead the party to destruc-
ton.
The POpulists are not very wise and do
not always know what they want, but
as rule they are honest. They may yet
develop into a great party, with great
mission, but they lack training. Mean
while. if they will be content to act as so
many gadfies to sting the other parties
into action they will perform public
service for which Democrats at least will
be heartily grateful Louis Post-Dis-

A Johns HOPKINS Professor Explains.

The farmer claims that his chief bur
den comes from having to help carry 9th
er vocations that the government looks
on with partial eye. The establishment
Of banks is peculiarly facilitated, and
great power is put in their hands. The
expensive requirements make such busi-
ness hopelessly beyond the reach of near
ly every farmer in the land. Their con-
troll over the volume of currency is COM
plete Such sway is too potent for evil
to be delegated to another agency.
But it is on the silver question that the
farmer of the south and west is stirred
most deeply and resentfully. He knows
only too we'll that there has been sad
fall in the prices of commodities since the
demonstration Of silver by the leading
nations of the world. He argues that
this fall is because of the previous gov
ernment action, and no one can disprove
this. He has not lost heart in his fight
for free silver. He has got his second
wind.-Dr. G. Meriwether.
