gold in circulation and though the
Mexican dollar contains more sill
yer than our dollar, it Is worth
only its commercial value as bull
lion and but little over half as
much as our own silver dollar.
And so it is with every country
that is on a silver basis. No coun-
try in the world that is coming
legal tender silver money, has gold
in circulation.
Temple Tribune: The man or
men who will put natatorium in
Temple, make 1t AL and first class
in every respect, will not only
prove himself benefactor to the
town and transient public, but reap
good net profit for himself.
Think OF the actual stay-at-home
citizens, think OF the numbers OF
railroad people who are in and out
of Temple two and three times a
week, OF the many travelling men
who make this town their head.
quarters; all these would thank
fully patronize the natatorium,
and that right frequently.
Abilene Reporter: The over
whelming majority Of Republican
congressman elected at the last
election is still growing. The only
Democrat reported elected In Chic
ago, 1t is now discovered, was
fraudulently counted in by rascal
ly election judges. They have
been arrested, the case proven
against them, and will 60 to the
penitentiary, and the supposed Re-
publican will 60 to congress.
Two Republics: 1t may be that
in the near future the wagon roads
will be so improved through the
beneficent influence of the bicycle
that they will constitute an i'm
portant feature of transportation.
1t is the theory of certain reform
ers that local traffic is charged by
railroads at unduly high rates to
make up for the loss experienced
in carrying through freight be-
cause OF cut-throat competition
between lines. The wagon roads
will change all this. Here in
Mexico the railroad system has
not advanced to the point when
through connections, branch lines
and feeders 1t may be possible to
go to any important locality by
any one of half a dozen lines. II
the bicycle does for us what 1t is
doing in the United States,it never
will be possible; and the country
will be saved the unnecessary in
vestment Of enormous capital
without the possibility Of adequate
return.
Manufacturers Record: The
value of the exposition to Atlanta
has already been amply demon
strated in the money spent in
building in that city recently.
Architects state that fully $2,00O,-
600 will be spent in new work
within the limits Of the city, main
ly as a result of the exposition to
be opened in September. Among
the principal structures are hotels
to cost 100000, 10000 and 10000,
respectively; office buildings vary
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 ;
residences varying from $4,000 to
$40, 900, in addition to the exposi.
ton buildings proper. Heavy in.
vestments are also being made in
Atlanta real estate.
Paris Advocate: A system OF
courts that would send convicts to
the Jail, the penitentiary or the
gallows within two or three weeks
after their arrest would diminish
the number OF criminals fully
seventy.five per cent.
Houston Post: 1t is strange
that q paper so likely as the Gal.
weston Tribune to have correct
ideas should entertain so silly an
idea as that President Cleveland
thinks OF being candidate for a
third term.
Laredo Times: 1t is hard fol

towards US because she thinks We
