More than three-fifths of all the
mortgages on lands in the United
States are carried on lots and less
than two-fifths on farms, but in
Texas the amount carried on farms
is more than double that which is
carried on the lots. This shows
that the city valuations in this
state are not proportionally as
great compared with the farm val
uations as the whole United States
averages, and it may also show
that the craze for real estate specu-
lation is not as great in Texas as
elsewhere.

Doubtful things are too uncer-
tain to be satisfactory. When the
Democratic convention at Dallas
endorsed the Hogg administration
did it include the deficiency in the
treasury as we'll as the deficiency
in brains, capability, economy,
statesma nship, and the conserva-
tive Of the states credit? 1t is we'll
to be explicit on these little points,
even if they do not count demo-
craticallY.

The turning of over fifty Con-
gressional districts in the north
from Democratic representation to
representation by Republican men,
bers, would not be so difficult had
not those districts been gerry-man-
dered past recognition during the
past legislative sessions. Even
thus handicapped victory is not inn
possible, but it is more difficult
and the south must turn down its
solid Democratic delegations.

All things come to the man who
can wait. The Monroe doctrine is
coming into more general accept
ance in this country than ever, and
old freetraders are growing so
shaky in the knees that their
trousers bag there. American
trade with all America, North and
South and Central, and a discrim-
nation against all old world pro-
ducts is the coming policy of the
Nation. 1t will not be another
quarter century before it will be in
general acceptance and no one will
defend policy that puts the bust
ness and the commerce and the
agriculturists of this country at
the mercy of Europe.

in this district, and this as much
for purposes of education as for
anything else. The freetrade here
sy has gone down deep, but there
is no reason for Encouragement. 1t
can be cast out by prayer and fast
ing. The prayer will be offered in
the shape of a Republican ballot,
and the Democratic pie leader will
do the fasting.

The man who is needed at the
head of the Republican party this
campaign is the man who can do
infinitely more for the party than
the party can do for him. There
are no end of men in this state
who want to serve the Republican
party as the best means of serving
themselves. There are only few
men who are ready to serve the
party at their own expense, GER
tain to lose more in personal and
professional way than they could
possibly gain by any party success,
and these are the men it behooves
the Texas state convention to put
in the front and insist on their
leading the host.

1t is pity that all the campaign
thunder that the House manufac-
tured, bottled up and sent over the
country on the passage of the Will
son bill is wasted rumbling. The
hurrah that was made over that
evidence of tariff reform was echoed
over the western plains and rever-
berated from the high hills Of the
Colorado, and now it comes back as
the laugh of a hooking fiend in
the faces of those who sent it forth
on it's mission. The end of a thing
is not known from the beginning,
particularly if it depends on the
motions and movements of body
of Democratic law-lollipers.

When the Democratic party
comes to stand on the platform Of
the Republicans it is high time for
a state Republican convention to
put itself on record and give the
people a chance to vote a straight
Republican ticket. Texas Repub-

The "chile queen" or chile stand
waiter, comes on duty at about the
time of the supper rush, when rows
of men and boys sit for hours be-
fore the tables, eating their plates
of tamales, their chile-con-carne,
their eggs, or drinking their coffee.
People from the neighborhood, who
are not in mood to start supper
fires, send their little boys to the
stands with buckets for the Next
can meals. After the supper
hour rush a steady business
is done, with a slight in
crease in trade just after the
variety shows in the neighborhood
close their performances, shortly
after the midnight hour. After
that business becomes spasmodic
with light rush Of early day
break patrons. Then the trade
collapses entirely and by the time
day light has fully set in, the Mex
leans are again carting and carry
ing away their stands and the hay
and produce wagons occupy the
site OF the preceding nights gas

LIFE AT THE CHILE STANDS.

At just about the beginning of
twilight each afternoon Milan,
the first plaza across the creek pre-
sents a curious kind of life and
turmoil. Wagons loaded with hay,
produce or wood are beginning TO
leave the square and their places
are readily being taken up by
MeXiCans who seem to be coming
from around every corner. Some
carry large baskets others benches
and boards on their heads, some
drive up in rickety delivery wa
CONS, others in crude carts or car
retas drawn by brace of patient
burros. The benches, boards, bas-
kets, stove, cooking utensils and
all are dumped on the open SOU are.
The men afoot go back after an
other load, land the cart or deliv cry
wagons are sent back to where they
came from. Hands at once set to
work to erect out of the boards,
counters or tables in the form of
Transfers corral, cover them with
oil cloth, place on the tables the
necessary paraphernalia of bowls,
glasses, spoons and other necessi-
ties Of an outdoor restaurant.
Benches are placed before the
tables and fires are lighted in the
little delapidated cooking stoves or
light iron furnaces.

The great difference between the
Populists and the Democrats is
this, the populists have the cour-
age of their convictions on free
silver and the Democrats hedge !;
the Populists are for protection of
farm products, and the Democrats
for protection of the city consumer.
Neither party is ready to take the
broader ground of practical pro-
lection to all home industries.

The Houston Post is right in de-
manding that the Democratic
party do not harshly criticize the
Populist wing of the political bro
therhOod. The Pops are only the
step children of the true blue De-

Dems themselves would make
them full brothers to the Popu-
lists. AS all must eventually
come into the same fold and I'M
der the same shepherd is not wise
to harden the Democratic head
butting the Populists of the
track. In fact the left wing Of the
Democracy and the right wing of
the Populists are camping on the
ss me old ground.

The burning question in the

with Breckenridge when he leads
off in the great waltz for Democ-
racy and.reform.
This year is the one in which the
Republicans of the state should
put themselves in trim for win
ming campaign in 1896. The preli-
minary work must be done now or
it will not be done at all.
The patriotic Republican, that
is the one who esteems party
greater than self, should clear him
self of all possible charge of self
seeking and subordinate all else to
the good of the party.
There has been no policy but
party pelone in the measures of
Protection that have been doled
out by Congress. The country I'M
derstands that the only protection
on principle is Republican :.
1t is high time to dismiss the
little children Of this city from

The nights business opens with
a struggling workman, who, for
some reason, does not care to go
home for supper. A cup of coffee,
some flour, water and sugar cakes,
or mild imitation of a
doughnut, and plate OF chile
con carne, or perhaps tamales,
is his order. "A negro porter next
drives up and takes five cents
worth of tamales, which are
wrapped up in piece of yellow
paper and are eaten as he leisure
ly drives through the streets. AS
it begins to grow dark, the large
square Ian terms, sometimes four in
number and often with gaily
colored glass, are lit. By this
time the famous "chile queen"
about whom an including lot of
unwarranted sentimental bosh has
been written, but who in reality,
are nothing more than fly female
walters of various ages, divers de-
grees of chastity, and all shades of
ugliness or beauty. Here is
plump, full-faced ever laughing
German girl, at yonder stand
an American, not particu-
larly pretty, but laxative
and with a touch of slum learned
wit or repartee in her mental make
up. At another stand you are
waited upon by a senorita, with
neither brilliant nor a beautiful
cast of countenance, but with long
flowing black hair, bewitching,
passionate eyes and as dainty a
foot as you ever care to see. OF
course they all have admirers and
patrons by the scores, represent
ing every station in life, from the
confidence man to the refined pro-
fessional gentleman with a gilt
lettered shingle over his door.
Such is the "chile queen" She
may not be handed to posterity in
marble or staff, nor even pose for a
statue of silver for coming Worlds
fairs, but she does manage to
occupy a prominent berth in local
guide books and now and then
finds herself the heroine of a soft

wiles, who has engendered a severe
case Of poetic alteration OF the
mind.

There are colored Republicans in
the State of Texas who aspire to a
place on the state ticket that is to
be nominated at Dallas. They
might as well aspire to a seat on
the throne Of universe. The man
who thinks that such ticket
could win for itself any support in
Texas has no knowledge Of the
situation and is unfit to represent
a "yaller dog" The party that
makes such a nomination has COM
mitted political suicide. 1t is not
theory that confronts the Republi-
cans of Texas, but a condition, and
a mighty tiCklish one at that. The
convention that meets this week at
Dallas is weighted with more
power for the good or i'll of Repub-
licanism in Texas than any con-
vention of the party that has as
sembled for years. 1t is not senti-
ment but cold facts that are to be
considered there, and there is a
growing disinclination any longer
to submit to conditions that carry
with them the perpetual discredit-
ing of the Republican party. thas
carried the dead weight of its color
ed vote uncomplainingly for 80
years. 1t does not now propose to
put that weight in the saddle and
spur itself down hill to destruction.
