SEES THE TIDE
OF PROSPERITY.
Col. Rucker Thinks a Revival
of Business is at Hand.
Deep Water viii Put Southwest
Texas in the Swim-San An
tonio's Trade Compared
With That of Other
Cities.

As announced in the Express
Yesterday, Col. Peter. G.. Ruck
err has returned to San Antonio
to reside. 1t is not necessary
to introduce Col. Rucker to the
people of this city. He has re
sided here before and he was
one of San Antonio's most en-.
ergetic and progressive citizens.
Col. Rucker has returned to
San Antonio because he be
lieves that this city and South
west Texas viii be the center
of snch an era of prosperity as
the people of the State have
never seen.
When asked yesterday for
the reasons fer the faith that
is in him, Col. Rucker said:
AS to my reasons for be-
lieving that Texas, and espe-
cially San Antonio and South
west Texas is on the eve of a
revival, it is now an assured
fact, admitted, believe, by
all that deep water at Rock
port is only a question of a
short time. That means, of
course, the attraction to the
State of people looking for in
yestments especially IL real
estate, and ali real estate men
know that the most of South
west Texas is as susceptible of.
a high state of cultivation and
will yield as good d return
when cultivated as the central
portion of the State, which is
now thickly settled II has
been overlooked so far, for two
reasons. One is that The cattle
men first got possession of it
and did not want the land turn
ed over to agriculture. The
other is that capitalists seeking
real estate investments, owing
to u want of railroad facilities, |
have not seen the country. Up
to the present time the general
idea OF persons not acquainted
with the land of Southwest
Texas is that it is only fit for
grazing, but they only have to !
see it TO find out their error.
Another reason for my be
lief that the entire State will +
witness an era of prosperity in
1896 is the fact that the rain
fall in the past sixty days has
been greater in Texas than in
October and November for al
least five or six years, and
here is season in the ground,
as the farmers call il, which
will result in the whole OF the
State producing better erops III
SO than in the past FIVE years.
"As to San Antonio's pros
oerity, that depends 10 a large
.Xtent, Of course, on the cili-
ems Of San Antonio. There is
20 question in my mind that
hat San Antonio will be the
.ity of the South, bat il may
'e that the present generation

CURRENT COMMENT.

Cleveland Leader: Itisn't aIways
the gun that makes the most noise
that shoots the furtherest. Krupp's
latest and largest rined cannon can
send projectile 1887 feet in one
second. Cannon of Illinois spoke
the other day in Washington, and
the telegraph had the words in San
Francisco almost before he began.
Pittsburg Dispatch Congress be-
gins its session with the usual OBJ
seryance of doing nothing till it
finds out where it stands in the mat
ter of organization. The frittering
away of time has not gone very far
as yet, bat abundant precedent jusli-
fies the prediction that If the rate of
progress be not somewhat accelerat-
ed even the do-nothing policy may
drag It's weary length far into next
summer.
Omaha Bee: Senator PETER is
again demanding a reform in the
conduct of senatorial funerals As q
matter of fact, no one has ever adj
duced valid reason why the people
of the United States should have to
pay the expenses of senator's faner-
ais any more than they should have
to pay the expenses of the funerals
of the senators clerks. There would
be more sense in having the clerks
buried at pnbIic cost rather than tho
senators, because the senator's fami-
lies are usually in better position
to defray the expenses themselves.
Springfield Republican Senator
Mile apparently wants it understood
by the bill he introduced Thursday
that he has topped back into the sill
yer ranks. lie came out last sumner
in letter strongly defending tho
administrations policy and asserting
the importance OF maintaining the
gold standard. a he had previous
ly been known as free coinage sill
yer man, this letter caused wide
spread remark. Cotton was then adj
vancing above 8 cents; it has since
fallen back from that figure. That
explains the two fiops probably. As
the price of cotton goes, so go the
Texas statesman's views about nor
ey.
Leavenworth Times: 1t is absurd
for this country to go on in happy
to its defenseless con-
dition under the false idea that it
will not become enga ged in war
The recent reports Of the secretary
OF war and of the secretary of the
navy show that we are not in posi-
ton to cope with any first class pow
er without long preparation. The
navy is ridiculou~ly small. The
army Is not only small, but its organ
ization belongs to an obsolete mill
iary aye. Our coasts are defenseless.
War may come upon us soon and
suddenly. In the last two hundred
years there have been at least
hundred wars. There has rcyer
,eeen period of thirtv-five years
when this country was not involved
II war. And nine times out of ten
lostilities begin without any formal
Warming or declaration of war.

mediate prospect of a revival
in general. They compare. the
present condition of business
with the past condition of bus
mess in Galveston, Houston,
Dallas and Fort Worth and
other cities. They are in the
condition of the man who was
made to believe he was sick
and went TO bed and sent for a
physician, owing TO the fact
that a number of his friends
by preconcerted plan had met
him during the day and each
one remarked how i'll he looked
until the man became convinced
that he was sick and went to
bed, and it required a physi-
clans services to get him out
again. In my opinion that is
all that is the matter with San
Antonio.
"One of the prominent mer-
chants in conversation today
expressed the same view that l
take of the present situation
in business. Texas is changing
from the old credit system to
the cash system. The farmers
and laborers have learned that
under the old system they paid
first, 4 legitimate profit Oh the
goods they purchased, and then
an additional amount 10 cover
the loss on people who did not
pay for their goods. But they
are getting on a cash basis
now. Consequently, they will
buy nothing that they can get
along without. The result is
that it takes practically twice
the number of people to pro
duce the same volume of bus
mess that it did three years
ago. The result is where mer-
chants Eave boughttheir goods,
figuring on a continuation Of
the business of the past and
the people, practicing economy,
are not buying as in the past,
makes dull times with the mer-
chants. The merchants find
that they must c,Irtail their
purchases to meet the curtailed
purchases of the people and buy
from the drummer
that they can get along with
out, and the dyummers, without
Investigating the cause, say
that the times are hard, as they
really are with them.
