The drouth that has so long and
so destructively assailed the
wheat growing regions of the north
and northwest is as 10th to break
its grip as the drouth that clutch
ed this southwest country about
ten years ago. The season is ad-
vancing and there is no prospect
OF more than about forty percent
OF an average wheat crop. This
indicates that the price Of that
cerial is not going down, and this
fact insures the increasing growth
OF Republican majorities all over
the country. These two, pros
perity and Republican protection
to American industry invariably

Galveston is tackling the organ
ization Of a transatlantic steam
ship company that will bridge the
distance between that port and the
shores Of the old world direct. The
idea is to create fleet of ten steam
ers at a total cost Of a million and
a half, each steamer to be owned
by a separate company, shares to
be placed at the low rate of SIC
80 that every laboring man who
desires could own one or more
shares. All Texas cotton and other
marketable products that now 60
north and are reshipped to the old
world ports would under this new
arrangement be invoiced direct to
Europe and Great Britain. 1t is a
splendid scheme and the average
Texan will watch it with interest
as it presents the entirely new
problem of what Galveston will do
in a case where she has not the
National treasury to put up for
her. 1t makes heap Of difference
whether Uncle Sam puts up for you
or you go down into your own

If Uncle Sam would buy Cuba
from Spain that island would be
at the beginning Of the end of its
troubles, but Uncle Sam does not
care to buy and Spain will not sell
until she has sunk another hundred
millions in the vain attempt to
quell the insurrectionary spirit
there. What it would be worth to
this country would only be known
after the experiment had been
tried, but successful revolution
would be at a perpetual end once
the stars and stripes were hoisted
