supply. Their helplessness is al
unanswerable plea for aid.
The Houston Post congratulateS
Cleveland upon never shifting re-
sponsibility. True, Grover has the
convictions Of a mule and the cour
age of his convictions. These pre-
serve a positive balance.
The call that is made for funds
to meet the increased expense OF
the Protestants Orphans home,
incident to increased numbers en-
tering that institution, should not
fall upon needless ears.
The Republican party will pre-
serve an eye single to the congress
sional elections this year and rele-
gate the question of presidential
candidacy to future period. That
matter can stand over.
The coming man in San Antonio
is the one who will build a good
library and put thousand well
selected volumes on its shelves
Such man is needed more than
duplicate waterwOrks.
1t was a condition and not
theory that Bland confronted
Cleveland with, and now it is a
veto and not signed bill that
Cleveland confronts Bland with.
The tables are turned.
1t is as true now as in the days
Of the Nazarine that the poor are
always with us, and the necessity
for supplying their wants is laid
upon the shoulders of those who
are able to bear it.
The Fort Worth Gazette endeav-
ors to draw the deadly parallel on
George Clark. The Gazette fOrgets
that nothing that was said antece-
dent to the late lovefeast goes now.
1t is not loaded.
The habit of reading instructive
books is one that needs cultiva-
ton, and that work of cultivation
must go on side by side with that
of supplying tho appetite that is

A good public library is public
school to which all ages and classes
are eligible, its sessions are pertpet-
ual and it's curriculum is elective.
Such a school is needed in every
community.
With miles of unpaved streets
in the very heart of the city it is
useless to talk of spending mil
lion of dollars on waterworks.
Every cent is needed for street i'm
provement.
San Antonio has few broad
souls that appreciate the reading
needs of the people and are en-
deavoring to supply them. The
efforts of these pioneers should be
encouraged.
Those enemies of San Antonio
who always cry her down as wet
town had better pay her visit
about now and revise their Opin-
ions. She is dry as professional
charity.
That Gulf Shore road is going to
be built, but which end is to be
the head and which the tail is not
yet determined. This is the ques-
ton that vitality concerns San An
tonic.
The Republican majOrities that
are piled up in the April elections
demonstrate to what purpose the
Democrats in Congress are mis-
managing the affairs of the coun-
try.
Wolcott had better pass the
Bland bill over the veto before
coming Mexican dollars into
American.
Coxey complains that his army
musterS stronger at the lunch
counter than on the march. Natu-
rally.
The editor" gets the senatorial
plum that was dropped when the
dead COlquit laid aside the tOga.
The more Breckenridge tells Of
his being led astray by Madeline
the less the people believe him.
The would be-bathers are still
waiting for that Presa street eX-
tension to the sulphur springs.
The silverites in Congress serve
notice upon the administration
that they are on the warpath.
The National House of Demo-
Gratis is still mOnkeying with their
quorum making, but in vain.
Aquariu seems to have forgotten
the combination that unloCks the
wheels of his sprinkling cart.
