The idea that cities are corrupt
because the license to do wrong is
tacitly issued through the venality
Of the officers of the law, is not a
tenable one. Cities are more cor.
rupt than rural communities for
the same reason that they are
more vlrtuous, and that is because
both vice and virtue are social in
their tendencies and grow by asso-
citation. There is less self restraint
as to the indulgence Of passion, Op-
portunities considered, in the coun-
try than in the city, If the COM
parison is made among an equa |
number Of people. Trot out your
statistics and size the matter up.
Put the same number of people
into San Antonio tomorrow that
are now within the city but
take them from a radius Of a
hundred miles outside OF her cor
porate limits, and the town would
be a pandemonium in twenty-four
hours. Self restraint is bred by
education and in contact with that
from which the life is to be re-
strained, and not by prohibition.
The history OF all reform and hu-
man progress proves this.

TO the credit Of the Texas news
papers be it said, they can be de-
pended on when any real good
work is to be done for the improve
ment Of the morals of the people or
the increased influence OF the
home. Almost without exception
they are following the lead OF the
LIGHT in preaching the dangers of
street education and are creating a
public sentiment favorable to wise
Legislation on this subject. There
is no wisdom and there is great
danger in leaving the children at
an early age exposed to the con-
Examinations OF the street after
night. There is no work of a hui
manitarlan character that APP
proaches in Importance that OF
rightly directing the shooting OF
the young idea, and it is hardly
necessary to state at this late day
that shooting it through a blind
alley after night is as unwise and
unsafe as il it was shot in hades.

THE price of flour and the prices of many
articles of food and clothing have fallen
heavily within recent years. But the
people in the Eastern cities of the United
States are compelled to pay substantially
as high prices for meat of all kinds and
Ror fish OF all kinds as they paid ten
years ago. The breeders Of cattle on
Western ranches get much lower prices
Gor their stock than they received in 1884
and 1885. The producer everywhere is
! Justly bemoaning the fact that he re-
ceiVss inadequate and unsatisfactory
Suns for his cattle. The fishermen get
aow prices for their fab. Yet in regard to
meat and fish alike, the profits of the
aniddlemen are prodigious. A great trust
an Chicago, with branches all over the
country, levies an excessive tribute on the
consumers Of beef, mutton and other
meats. The members of this insolent and
sgrssping trust have accumulated vaEt
fortunes. The Cleveland administration
unakes no effort to enforce the anti trust
Laws against the meat trust, one of the
greediest trusts ever known in America,
The middlemen in the fish business pay
scanty sums to the fishermen, and impose
ssxtravagant prices upon the consumer
It is a radically wrong state of affairs
when meat and fish are held at so higi
prices in the markets of the East, while
cattle breeders and fishermen are in dis
cress because they do not obtain a fail
return for their labors

ALTHOUGH Brown Sequard's famous
elixir was failure his experiment has
stimulated investigation and lighted the
way to all the important demonstrations
of the remedical power of animal extracts
which have since been made. The doc
tors think they are only on the threshold
of discovery. Some of them also think
that the therapeutic value Of some Of
these discoveries has been overestimated,
and Others that they are injurious and
implant morbid conditions in the con
stitutions to which they are applied.
When doctors disagree there is no one to
decide except another doctor, and he
generally wont, and when he does is
generally wrong so that in this case the
argument aud difference are confusing to
those outside of the profession, who will
have to wait till time utters it's final ap'
pellate judgment in the dispute.

TWIN REPOB'T CONFIRMED
A Spanish Gunboat Fired on the
Schooner Irene.
THE VESSEL WAS DIsMANTLBD.

Lies Aground Near Charlotte Harbor.
Reports That the Cuban Insurgents Are
Rapidly Gaining Strength.
TAMPA Fla, March 2O.-The steamer
Mascotte arrived last evening direct from
Havana, and brought late reports from the
seat of revolution. Copies of La Lucha
confirm the report of the sinking Of the
schooner by the Spanish gunboat off
Puerto Padre, near Gibara. In the same
issue there are reports of the departure of
General d. Jorge Garrich and Colonel
Santo Cildeo, with their commands, from
Jiguani, and their attack on insurgents at
Los Negros, at which place battle was
fought This confirms previous reports.
A letter received from Santiago stated
that thirty leading young men of that
place had gone into the field under com
mand of a prominent lawyer named
Jomaya.
Other letters assert that in Los Villas
the insurgents are rapidly gaining strength
and confidence Organized bands are be
ginning to arise in different sections of
this district, and especially near Santo
Sptrito. This part of the uprising will
cause Spain much chagrin, for it is her de-
sire to keep the outside world ignorant OF
the progress of the revolution, but Los
Villas is in the central portion of the
island, and the chances now are that news
will be more definite, now that the trou-
BILE is so much nearer Havana.
For two days uncertain and untraceable
reports have reached here regarding an
American schooner being fired upon by a
Spanish gunboat on the southern coast of
Florida. Yesterdays steamer brought
news from Key West which is said to be
authentic claiming that the schooner
Irene, of Key West, had been fired upon
and dismantled by the Infanta Isabella
near Charlotte harbor, after which the

A RoYAL esrR0rHAL
The Duke of Aosta aud Princess Helen
of Orleans Exchange Rings.

The Duke of Aosta aud Princess Helene
of Orleans Exchange Rings.
PARIS, March 2O.-The betrothal Of the
Duke Of Aosta and Princess Helene was
conducted with the utmost ceremony.
Owing TO the recent death of the Count de
Paris, all present were attired in deep court
mourning. The ceremony of betrothal was
preceded by walk in the park, after which
all assembled in the salon of the Chateau
Chantilly. The princesses alone were
seated.
The Duke of Aosta entered the salon
and approached the Countess. of Paris, the
mother of Princess Helene, and said that
he had the happiness to believe that he had
won Princess Holene's heart and that his
wishes would be crowned If the countess
would consent TO their marriage. King
Humbert's consent, he added, had already
been obtained. The countess replied that
she was happy to confide her daughter S
happiness to the care of a prince whom she
personally esteemed and whose august
house was already connected by marriage
with the house of France.
The duke then kissed the hand of the
countess, and afterward kissed Princess
Helene's hand and led her TO an embras-
ure of window, where they exchanged
rings The duke and the princess had
been previously engaged, but it was
thought due to the dignity of both houses
that a formal demand be made for Prin-
cess Helene's hand. The acceptance of
the proposal was Immediately telegraphed
to the Italian embassy in Paris
1t is stated that the wedding will be
celebrated at Turin in April, and that the
ceremony will probably take place in the

Lord Rossbery,s III Health.

LONDON, March 2O.--The Times says it
is officially informed that Prime Minister
Rosebery's convalescence is much retarded
by lack of sleep. Even a change of air
from London to the country has produced
little effect in this respect and he is quite
unable TO attend to any but the most ur-
gent business. Editorially The Times says
the gravity of the case must be apparent
to every one. The official announcement
that Lord Rosebery is only able to attend
to the most urgent business shows the
necessity of absolute rest.
