San Antonio should make as
ample preparations for the meet
ings of the sheepmen as for that of
the irrIgationiSts. There is no one
in dustrv of more value to Western
Texas, and none therefore Of more
interest to this city than the sheep
industry. This business takes up
the millions Of acres that never can
and never will be attempted to be
put under irrigation conditions.
The wool trade OF this vast outly-
ing section is largely tributary to
this city and always has been a
source Of no little income to the
business Of our houses. Add to
this fact that so large quantities Of
supplies for the ranges are pur-
chased in this market, and our
personal interest in the sheep in
dustry is readily understood. These
men come here to conserve their
interests and in doing it enhance
the business of this city as well.
The Alamo City must hang her
latch string on the outside.

The Luling Signal has this un-
expected tribute to the get-there-
Eli habits of San Antonio; it says
"ten men made your race meeting
a success" or what other city in
the state can as much be said?
While this says volumes for the
ten, it leaves unsaid no end of sug-
gestions as to the other nine-hun-
dred and ninety who should have
been on deck with those unmen-
toned ten. Luling is a lulu.

The pressure should be brought
to bear on this Congress to repeal
unqualifiedly the duty on wool.
There is no ghost Of show for the
placing of iron and coal on the free
list this session, and so long as
there is a duty on these products
there is no reason in party consist
ency or in justice why the wool
men should not have the duty up
on their clip restored. 1t is their
only salvation, a salvation that
will come certainly with the in
coming of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress, but which if it were now
brought in would save them any
further depletion in the number of
their tlocks and be a means Of saw
ing some of them from the bank
ruptcy so certain if the present
law remains in force.

Galveston Tribune thinks that
no one doubts chat within five
years Galveston will handle more
cotton than any port in the United
States" In less than five years
Galveston will not be in it as a port
of cotton export with the port at
the mouth of the BrazOs, and in
five years the Tribune will doubt
it's own utterances unless they are
produced from its own columns.
The BraZos is going to be the
great water artery for the collec-
ton of the cotton crop of central
Texas and at its mouth, where
there will be no lighterage, nor
miles Of dangerous bars to cross,
nor wharf company exactions,
there will that cotton, and mil
lions of bales beside, find shipment
upon the highway Of the open sea-
Galveston Tribune can salt this
prediction away for future refer
erence and verifi cation.

here with the Editorial excursion
were very 10th to leave San Anto-
Mo. They were lavish in their eX-
pressions Of love for the city, its
quaintness and it's metropolitan
ism combined, it's narrow streets
and it's broad boulevards in so close
juXtapositiOn, its magnificent col
lections of curios and It's elegant
displays OF goods, its meandering
river and its delightful parks, it's
last century's missions and its-up-
to-date suburbs, its charming
flowers on park and plaza and..in so
many beautiful private grounds,
it's air OF freedom and culture, its
unequaled attractions Of all kinds
and the genuine courtesy Of its
people, all of which made a sum
total of attractions from which it
was difficult for them to tear them
selves away. They carry the
magic name OF the Old Alamo city
with them on their sleeves as they
speed homeward, and will sure
come again.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER s, 1894

Those twenty-five Democrats
who want the sergeant-at-arms of
the House OF National representa-
tives to forward them their pay
and mileage for the session, on the
ground that it is useless for them
to 60 to the expense OF journey to
Washington, have a better idea OF
the situation than their critics.
These men understand that the
nation has unqualifiedly pro-
nounced against the policy and pro-
ceedures Of the party in power, and
a so realizing that the Democrats
will not change their stripes, see
no reason in going through the mo-
tions of a legislative session that
will accomplish no res ult. 1t may
BE- novel thing to do, but in many
respects it is to be commended as
at least an honest avowal Of what
so many believe without the cour-
age Of the expression.

There is no one who will not en-
dorse the opinion Of that indepen-
dent Democratic sheet, the New
Orleans Item, when it says, "The
pretense Of selling bonds in order
to keep up the reserve OF gold de.
ceives no observant mind. The
receipts from bond sales are needed
to pay current government ex-
penses, and will be so used. Sim
ply this (for reform) and nothing
more" That is about the size Of
it. II the revenues, as collected by
the Democrats, met the expenses
of the government, as administered
by the Democrats, there would be
no question of gold enough to
maintain the reserve. But to main
tain a reserve in the face Of a
growing deficit is not among the
possibilities.

BosTov, May l6.-By the torch of an
incendiary Tuesday night over 81 ,0OO,-
O0V worth of property is in ashes, over
500 families of the medium and poorer
classes, consisting of over 1900 people,
are homeless and many of them who had
time to savea portion of their household
furniture had to sleep in the open air.
Women with babies in their arms and
little children huddled close together
had only the sky for a roof and the few
mattresses saved from the burned tene-
ments for a bed, and no prospects OF
breakfast in the morning.
The fire covered a space of 90 acres.
As far as can be learned six persons have
been injured, none fatally. The fire
started IN the Boston League park, in
pile of lumber which was lying under
the right field bleachers, directly back Of
first base. In a moment it had leaped
out to the sests and famed by brisk
breeze, swept toward the grand stand.
So rapidly did the flames spread that be-
fore the occupants of the grand stand
realized it the fire was upon them and

It was several minutes before the fire.

ers were next ignited. Meanwhile, the
sparks had fallen upon thousands Of
buildings, the flames surged on towards
fremont street and reached out to the
right and left, until the entire square be-
tween the ball grounds and fremont
street was a mass of burning buildings.
The Sherw1n kindergarten schoolhouse.

of the fire for only moment, and that,
too, was quickly numbered among the
structures as consumed The buildings
! on the south side Of Walpole street were
soon burned. The flames shot towards
Coventry street on thar side of fremont
nearest the ball grounds. They swept
on in that direction for three squares, as
far as Burke street. At ) o'clock the
entire block along the west side of Ire
mont street, from Walpole to Burke. was
| a brilliant mass of flames, which swept
across to the opposite side and soon en-
quilted the buildings for four blocks.
BY this time the residents of the tene-
ments for nearly half mile around had
become alarmed snd were moving all
their property into the streets and SEEK

Thursday. Three times their stolen
train was reported stalled before cars
and engines purposely run OF the track
ahead of them and each time the rail-
road officials believed they were masters
Of the situation. But in less time than
it took the railroad company to jump
their engines from the track at one placs
and tear up the rails at another, the go
ahead wealers had built a new track
around the feeble distractions and re-
laid the torn up rails.
The capture of the stolen train was
effected at Scott City, Kan, at 5:aO
Thursday evening, the wealers having
been compelled to return to the city by
the train sent to Modoc. Shortly after
the tram was stopped. Marshal Nicely
served the writs of replevin. There was
short conference between Sanders and
his officers and it was decided to camp
here on the prairie all night. In few
minutes there were two dozen bright
campfres burning near the track and
party of hungry tired Coxeyites around
each. They had little with them to eat.
but their mite was eked out by contribu-
tions from citizens until by 4 o'clock,
nearly all of the commonwealers had
been fairly fed.
Sanders himself was invited to take
supper with Superintendent Clark in
his private car Magnolia, and accepted
the invitation. To provide against sur
prises of any kind the eastbound mait
train was held to obstruct the track and
the armed deputies were set to guard

the entire number, $50 of them, to Tope-
