Houston and Waco and Dallas
and Fort Worth are four towns
that believe in the rnalsfitness
of whatever good things can be
said for them. The people and pa
pers Of those cities swear by them
and at all those who criticise them
On any manner. No matter what
the enterprise undertaken or in
what condition the cities may be
there is only general endorse
enent Of her opportunities, advan-
tages, pluck and future greatness
whenever and wherever she is
mentioned. The effect of this course
is plainly seen wherever a group
NJ strangers are found discussing
the merits of Texas cities, and,it is
hardly to the credit Of San Anto-
MO that she is not among the
number of these hustlers for her
her own good. San Antonio has
more favorable points to present
to the consideration OF strangers
than any city in the state, and yet
it is no uncommon thing to hear
her citizens pitching into herIiand
'cussing her right and left,IIwhen-
ever she.is assaulted by the NUM-
cipal strikers for some otherItown
This city has always suffered
more at the hands of her friends
than at the hands Of her enemies,
and it is not to her advantage nor
to the credit of her citizens that
this is so. 1t is only after acquain-
lance is made with her true condi-
ton and her great progress 'and
greater probabilities for the future
somewhat understood, that tn G
situation is realized by strangers
and the commentJmade, as it so
frequently is, "why do fnot San
Antonians.pull for their town as
the rest OF Texas does for itself?" e

An island in the Japan sea, or
the Imagination of the editor Of
the Portland Herald (Prohib), ex.
lists where the fisherman popula-
ton who were formerly addicted to
the inordinate consumption of al
coholic drinks have reformed and
converted the place into an earth
ly paradise. The islanders were en-
amored Of sake and shochu, those
being the names of their local poi
son, and it would shock you to read
the results caused by the fearful
habit. Fow all is altered; they
jointly commented to abstain from
alcohol, and hey, presto rice crops
galore, schools education, riches
and hemp. But why grow the
latter in such community?

The disputes between the several
orders Of the Catholic church in
some sections Of the country direct
attention to the fact that all things
are not so much a matter Of course
in that body as they were wont
to be. The priests are asserting
their independence in matters sup
posed to be outside OF episcopal
decision in very determined way
and when resisted appeal to the
higher authorities, confident that
their appeals will be considered
and adjudged according to the
greater liberty that the individual
claims for himself within the pale
OF the regular ecclesia. AS II
other things, Rome has nothing tt
lose and everything to gain by al
Owing this larger latitude.

Galveston has foretaste of what
she is looking for in the way of a
city water supply, in the artesian
well at Alta Iona, which secures
its flow from a strata of water bear
ing sand about 100 feet below that
from which other wells in that
vicinity draw their supplies. This
well is now flowing 100000 gallons
a day, about one-eighth of the flow
OF the largest we'll in San Antonio
valley, and which is of ample ca
pacity to supply this city for all
purposes. Galveston has labored
a long time and earnestly to fur
nish her citizens with drinkabIe
water and it is hoped that this is
the beginning of the solution of
her problem. She certainly de-
serves success in searching for wa
ter, whether it be the deep salt
article over her bar, or the pure
drtnkable kind for her people.

1t may be true that there are Sc.
rious objections to the present cur
rency laws and that better meas
ures for the protection of the Ma
tional banks might be devised than

that the proposed changes in the
law, as forshadowed in the recon-

ton, do not fill the bill and are
more open to objection that the

THE POOR WE HAVE WITH Us.

THE TINES does not wish to pose as an
alarmist. but certain conditions must be
looked squarely in the fece and a determined
effort made to meet a danger before it is too
late.
The situation Of the poor in this city, with
O winter ahead of them, is a real danger and
relief should be organized before it is too lats.
As shown in another column in this morn
ings issue, the percentage Of cases Of extreme
need is alarming.
It's no exaggeration to say that hundreds
OF workingmen in Washington have been IN
able to find jobs during the summer just past,
and with the close Of the building season their
chances for work grow less.
Beside these there is the usual large
number Of dependent people who must be
looked after from fall till springtime. 1t
IS high time, therefore, that those in
Washington-and no other city boasts Of
more generous citizens-who love to give
early and often to the poor and needy, should
be preparing for their campaign with the
wolves that haunt many doorsteps. The best
way TO give is to place the relief you offer in
the hands Of some charity organization with
which you are acquainted, particularly where
1t helps those needy persons in the neighbor-
hood where the giver lives; but the next best
thing to do is to send to the nearest police
station whatever is offered.
Don't be Indifferent!
Don't be penuriousl
The army Of the poor is growing every day.
Give anything and everything you do not
need - shoes, clothes, underwear, hats,
gloves-for all ages, sizes, and conditions
food cooked or uncooked, but beyond and
above all let your heart 60 with the gift.
Remember the beautiful legend of how the
knight found the Golden Grail.

THEN AND NOW.

'Washington is not a business place, used
TO be favorite saw some twenty-five or thirty
years ago. 1t was aequiesced in. too. in a
sort Of why-of-course fashion by people here.
and even the prediction Of mossbacks and
croakers that lit never viii be a business
place" raised no appreciable amount OF con-
tradiction.
AS time rolled on and the city became more
beautiful and more attractive year after year.
and men OF wealth and culture from all parts
OF the country invested their money in real
estate. built magnificent residences and chose
the National Capital as their winter residence,
the talk changed. Then it was said that
Washington would grow into great resi-
dental city, but business place never.
But. 10 and behold. in spite Of all predic-
tions to the contrary, business came. Large
establishments were opened by merchants
from other cities. and it has come to pass that
the most exacting feminine taste can crafty
its desires in the local stores instead of having
to rummage in Baltimore or New York. as
used to be the fashion in the days of yore.
BY and by manufacturing plants were set up,
and now a grain elevator Of quite pretentious
dimensions is to be put in operation.
Thus, slowly, perhaps. but surely, the Cap
ital Of the nation is passing onward to her
final development into business place. y
Her possibilities have barely begun to be re-

MARKET DEPRESSED In TONE
Bears Were Encouraged to Increase
Their Short Contracts.
DEALINGS LIGHT IN VOLUME
Unusual Activity in Manhattan Due to
Settling Movement-General Electric Sold
at Reduction and the General Tone of
the Market Was on the Bearish Order.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-The question OF gold
shipments to Europe was a most interesting
one to the spectators on the stock exchange
to-day and impaired to the stock market a
nervous and unsettled tone. The strength
displayed by sterling exchange this morning
caused quite a stir on the street, and led to
reports of immediate shipments of gold. This
induced liquidation of long stock and encour-
aged the bears to increase their short con-
tracts.
AS a consequence the market was weak at
the beginning, continued heavy throughout
the day, the grangers, General Electric and
Western Union being most depressed of the
active list. Speculation was heaviest in the
final dealings, when exaggerated rumors of
gold exports were current. Just at the close
il was stated on the board that S500,0 600 had
been actually engaged for shipment, bur the
report was not verified until the days busi-
ness was over, when it was found that Kidder
Peabody had withdrawn the amount named
for export tomorrow.
The dealings were light in volume. but
were fairly well distributed and were confined
mainly to the local traders, London being out
of the market. There was unusual activity
;
movement said 10 be in liquidation of long
account, and rumor had it that it was for an
insider Bears helped the downward turn in
the stock, the basis for which is fears that the
amendment authorizing the city of New York
to construct and operate a rapid transit sys-
TEN shall be adopted.
The stock opened y lower, at Ill, declined
to 1103i. rose to Ill. and then became very
heavy in the late trading TO 1861, which was
the last price made, and ~ per cent. lower
than Saturdays closing sale. Delaware and
Lackawanna dropped 22[ per cent. on sales
of 200 shares.
The grangers closed at the lowest points
touched, making losses of per cent. in st.
Paul, Is in Burlington, @S in Northwest, and
= in Rock Island. Western Union was
heavy on liquidating sales and has made a
decline of ~ per cent. General Electric was
sold for the Boston account, and fell off IL.

Sugar preferred advanced 1. and do, COM

and ST. Paul, Minnesota and Manitoba 80.
The other changes were merely fractional.
Chicago Gas stands unchanged on the day.
The market closed heavy at the lowest OF the
day except in very few instances.
There was a moderate business to-day in
the bond market, the sales amounting 10

tone was firm, but in the afternoon the more
active became heavy. Some of the inactive

chur ch Members Have Police Powers.

Judge Kimball rendered decision which vir-
tually commissions every church member
special officer and gives him police powers
while he is in attendance upon a religious serv-
ice Of any sort. The case on trial was that
of a coored youth, who disturbed religious
worship at the Shiloh Colored Baptist Church.
In commenting on the law his honor said it
was not necessary for the disorder to be heard
upon the streets, as is the case when a dis
turbance is created in a residence or business
house. If it disturbs the congregation or
minister clear case of disorderly conduct
can be made against the offender, and any
deacon or church member has police power
to suppress the disorder and arrest the parties
creating it.

allied. The superb water power of the Great
Falls is yet lying dormant. Shrewd old Ben
Butler recognized its value, for he if we mis-
take not, invested largely in land in that vi
cinity with an eye TO the future in which that
power should be brought into action for great
manufacturing enterprises. The prediction
may be ventured that just as Washington has
advanced in every other direction its progress
towards the development of its advantages as
a manufacturing center will not be long de-
layed.
The boy is already born in Washington who
ere he grows to mans estate will be able to
boast Of his native city as a fiourishing busi-
ness and manufacturing place.
We are getting there!
