tens Of thousands of unemployed

Fair.
Texas can turn almost any
water-soaked and moss-covered log
into gubernational timber. The
experience of the past two years
has taught the cheeky aspirant
that to him all things are possible.
The free silverites in calling a
bi-metalic conference have handi-
capped it's conclusions by demand

ton of the old ratio, of Is to l.
That is not the ratio of commerce.
The Democrats in the Senate are
in a hurry to end this tariff dis
cussion. They evidently fear the
effect upon the public mind of an
exhaustive inquest into the I'M
righteousness of the schedules.
The presence of ten thousand
strangers in this city next week
will greatly benefit the hotels, the
boarding houses, the electric car
lines, the railways that center here
and the retail dealers, as we'll.
That earthquake I'm Greece will
not be patching to the shaking
up that Washington will get from
the great army of the unwashed
that is now marching on it, if any
conflict of authorities comes.
1t is refreshing to hear of the
rains that flood other sections of
the land, but it would be a deal re-
freshmen to feel the springs from
the upper reservoir running down
ones spinal column.
One more week and that Jockey
club will open their gates for the
best four days races that have
ever been run in South Texas. The
old Alamo City has on her war
paint and feathers.
This Coxey army may be a joke,
but joke that is carried too far is
no joke, and this one has been car
ried from the Pacific to the Allan
tic. 1t is time to sit down on it as
too antiquated.
The city will expect the Council
to regard the public interests be-
fore the private convenience,in the
matter of granting right of-way to
the San Antonio and Gulf Shore
road.
The campaign of the candidates
in Texas is to the full as interest
ing as the campaign of the nomi-
nees. This will change when par
ties are a little more evenly divid-
ed.
The Coxeyites have made the
mistake of supposing that Con-
gress has assembled to provide
them bread.
The bicycle boy has come to stay,
aud the same may be said of his
Cycling sister. They are grace
full pair.
To the credit of Texas be it said,
she has no division of the tramp
army on the march for Washing
ton.
Everything of a liquid nature

The Democratic party are trying

The people of San Antonio seem
to be of one mind in so far as the
enterance of that San Antonio and
Gulf road into the city is con-
cerned. They believe that the
road should come in, and that it
will incommode city property just
as little and impede general travel
less, to come in as proposed by the
company in their petition before
the council, as over any other
route. The sentiment of the city
is decidedly against any delay,
both on account of the hundreds
waiting employment in construc-
ton, and also on account of the
benefits that will come to the city
as construction progresses. The
fight before the council is a bitter
one, but it is a fight of a very
small minority against the people
in general and must end as such
controversies do in such decision
as will meet the wishes of the
people.

There are thosands of honest men
in the Coxey army, but they are
past reasoning with, being mis-
guided and fanatical. Than an
honest fanatic there is no more
dangerous man when he is support
ed by the presence and sympathy of
thousands of his class. This ele-
ment is dangerous anywhere, and
doubly so In large masses banded
together to relieve their over
charged feelings of supposed
grievance.

The Fort Worth Gazette tries in
vain to cast opprobium upon the
working men who went to Wash
ington to protest against the pas
sage of the Wilson bill, bysput-
ting them in the same boat as the
Coxeyites. Those workmen were ac-
laborers, the bone and sinnew of
the country, who seeing their la
Dor threatened with destruction
at the hands of Congress went to
the National Capital to lay their
case before Congress, and having
done so retired to their advOca-
J tions to resume their labors, wait
ing the issue of their petitions.
The Coxeyites are not come from
labor, neither will they return to
it. The big majority Of them are
professional idlers, who refuse
work on principle. Since com.
mencing their march thousands of
them have been offered work and
have invariably refused the offer.

The able-bodied prevaricator Of
the press will have to try one more
time before he wipes out that Dali
ton gang. If, as reported, those
Dalton boys heard the firing thirty
miles away and lit out, they must
be as quick on the hear as they are
on the shoot, and it will be no
SLOUGH of a job to corral them.
There is a growing uncertainty
about these press kilograms that is
eXasperating.

and after due fetish ceremonies had

they were set mt each other. The
