Welcomes the Epworth League.

From the National Liquor Dealer.
The Epworth League, an associ-
alton Of the Methodist hurch, will
hold their convention in this city
next month. No better place than
San Antonio could be selected for
such gathering. Our lovely
city, with its quiet and orderly
ways, it's liberal treatment Of all
people, its personal freedom, will
be a revelation to many OF these
young people who will come from
communities where personal free
dom has been strangled by foolish
restrictions, such as pernicious
Sunday law regulations and pro-
hibition. Here they can enjoy
their beer without being compelled
to act the hypocrite. They will
be welcome to our city, and We
feel satisfied they will go home
better for their visit. San AntoniJ
is the most pleasant city in Texa
for a gathering OF any kind, politi.
cal, religious or social.

"Theories Proven while you Wait"

The menu served by the Rogers
Jones combination fills a long felt
want. A repast served for such rar-
ity of political tastes, as now gathers
around the popocratic board should
offer viands to suit the whims of each,
and no one can say that Messrs Rogers
and Jones put their eggs into one
basket.
Mr.. Rogers laid the foundation of
finance in the newly discovered maxim
that money depends for It's value solely
upon the power of the government
back of it. Thus Venezuela, he said,
could not issue nearly SO good dol
lar as the United States because she
was less powerful That was nice, but
some might discover what is an actual
fact that Venezuela's money is wo; tn
just exactly as much grain for grain as
ours, so Mr.. Jones follows with an as
surance that it isn't the fiat Of Govt.
that makes value at all, but "demand."
This gives you both sides of this
dilemma and you have only to pick
your choice.
He then occupied fifteen minutes in
poetic ecstacy about the unprecedent-
ed growth of our railroads, factories
and shipping and the consequent adj
vance of wealth and prosperity. All
this to prove that we are "big enough"
to disregard the laws OF nations.
Having done this he tears down the
whole beautiful fabric and proves by
the most unimpeachable authorities
that the corporations and capitalists
who made this wonderful result posi-
BILE, have slapped the life blood of the
nation" and we have been going from
bad to worse ever since '73, and this
proves that the "crime of '73" is the
cause of all our woes.
He cites Ernest Seyd as the hero of
bi-metallism in III, then tells you his
honest opinion is that that man Seyd
! was the chief conspirator against BIZ
metallism in '72.
He shows conclusively that we
would benefit by free coinage because
the difference in nominal values be-
tween ours and gold standard countries
would act as a protective tariff to de-
velOp our industries-then proves be-
yond cavil that silver would rise to par
with gold and that we would thereupon
have no silver standard, and none of
its aforementioned advantages.
He makes it as plain as the noon
day sun that price of money falls in
proportion to demand, other things
being equal, then gives mathmati-
cal demonstration of the fact that
midas demonstration of silver sho uld
have much less influence than similar
action by Spain and about one-eigth
that OF the U. S. He doubtless knows,
what is an unquestioned fact, that
! India has about six times as much
silver in use today as Spain and nearly
twice as much as the U. S. and has
always bought and used much more
than any other nation on earth, but
that need not be allowed to spoil a
nice theory
AS remarked above, it takes all sorts
OF theories to make up combination
party like the Popocrats, and what's
the use of theory, if a few facts are
to be allowed to stand in the way of
its proof O.. M.

Consent VS.. Cooperation.

The "16 to u man who has given
the question some study, does not hold
that independent free coinage can be
maintained indefinitely by this country
alone, but he says that as soon as we
make the step the other nations will
fall right into line. 1t strike us that
If they will not come into an agreement
whereby they have something to say
IN establishing the ratio and other
conditions; they certainly will not
have anything to do with another
fellows game. Consent" isa great
word with the Bryanites, they seem to
think that the U. S. is asking Eng
lands consent to do something. Not
at all, it's their cooperation in main
tanning bimetallism that we desire; we
never have asked England's consent"
to leglslate in this country, unless it
was in the instance of adopting free
trade; and then she gladly gave us her
blessing.

Bryan ON Pensions.

The next session of Congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
500, 100000. This is on account of
pensions. The appropriation for pen
sions for the next year must not be
less than $150,OOO,0OO. 1t is therefore
easy arithmetic to perceive that the
appropriation that Congress must
make for pensions next session must
aggregate not less than $4,000, 900.
This tremendous sum would in itself
be enough to run reasonable govern
ment. One would not complain if it
were an honest debt, but a large prop
ortion is not debt, because it was never
earned by any act of patriotism or
heroic service. The government is
held up and despoiled of no mean
portion of this, and it seems helpless
to defend itself. One cannot help being
curious to know how many more years
it will take to exhaust the generation
which feels itself injured by the war.
1t is safe to say that never did a
generation display such remarkable
longevity.-Omaha World Herald,

HermOn v. Craven, Oct. 3rd,

X X
If Stree silver" is q good thing for
the poor man, it is better for the rich
man.
THIS is essentially campaign of
populists against republicans, for, aside
from Bryan, who says he is populist,
the democrats have no ticket and very
little representation on the local
tickets in most places.
.**
IT is hard to see what there is in
the Bryan platform that will appeal to
the old veteran. If he is pensioner,
he has nothing to gain, and every
thing to lose If he wants pension
democratic administration is not over
friendly towards him.
How much sincerity OF purpose do
you suppose there is in man who
advocates "l6 to l." and processes
to believe that independent coin age
would make every dollar as good as
another, yet insists on the gold clause
in his mortgages and contracts. Yet
the silver advocate, who is loaning
money or making these contracts
insists on gold every time, and don't
you forget it.
x*x
If the popullsts should succeed in
electing a considerable number of
their congressman, they could with
honesty turn to their democratic
friends and say "What's the matter
with the popnlist greenback scheme. ("
1t only creates little more fiat in a
dollar. IF you can make a dollar
with but % cents of "intrinsic value''
in it; why won't paper dollar 90,
although the paper in it is not worth
cent. Why not?
Some people are questioning the sim
certify of many of the "free silver re-
publicans, in the belief that most OF
them are soreheads in search OF an
office. On June Goth, after the ma
tional republican platform was sormu-
lated, Senator Squire promptly tele-
graphed his "earnest and hearty con-
CALCULATIONS" TO the republican can
didate, VIM. Mckinley. About six

Both parties profess to be aiming at
the same end; one wants to look be-
tore 1t leaps; the other would boldly
leap into the unknown and find out
where 1t is at afterwards. There is a
good deal ofmisplaced and alleged pat
rlotlsm floating around in queer places
and the voter needs to go off by him
self and think it out, quietly.

IT is one of the pet statements of
the Bryanites that Hanna is putting
up the money (billions, is the populist
word) for the excursions to McKinley's
home-in fact the greatest care is be-
ing used by them to keep McKinley's
name in the back ground. It's all
"Hanna and Hanna's money" "Poor
Bryan! he's got to travel around in
common fashion to see the people, and
must pay his way" etc, AS matter
OF fact Mr.. Bryan has palace car at
his disposal wherever he wants to 90,
and we presume it does not cost him
cent, nor the popocratic committee
a cent either. The railroads are glad
to furnish presidential candidates and
noted men with passes because of pure
ly business reasons. Mr.. Bryan has
the passes, just the same as candidate
Rogers and the other populist mem
hers of last legislature had; only he
will not, like them, have the opportun-
ity of collecting his mileage from the
public treasury while riding on the
passes, as they all did.

THE PROGRESS Of. INSURANCE
Attest Addition Is to Insure People Against
Loss Of Employment

The DEVELOPMENT of the original the
orv of insurance has resulted in innu-
merable curious specialties 1t is posi-
BILE now for man not only TO insure MS
own life, but that of his horse as well,
and his wife's sealskin sack. He can
insure himself against fire, cyclones ana
burglars, and loss through dishonest EN-
ployes.
He can insure his plate glass against
the predatory brick. and IL the same
missile chances to hit him on the head,
his accident policy pays the docotr S
bills. Thus the mishaps of life are in
a sense forestalled and the prudent cit
iZen is enabled to pluck certainty from
the heart of vicissitude.
1t has remained, however, for con-
Germ in Atlanta to cap the climax by in
surfing the employee against the loss of
his job. In an alluring circular the OBJ
ject of the company. and incidentally
the cost Of membership. is given the
public.
All persons of good character, steady
habits and the like are eligible to mem
bership, whether employed at the time
of Joining or not. The different classes
are graded by salary received by the APP
plicant per month and they range from
IS to $780, and the dneS are regulated in
accordance.
All persons thrown out of employment
after six months of membership in good
standing will receive the Dement'S or the
system. They will receive one-third of
their regular salary for four weeks, and
the president Is authorized to pay out
such extra benefits as may, in his dis
cretion be justified.
Professional people and others who do
not work for a regular salary may en-
ter the company in whichever class
they choose. If misfortune overtakes
them they are entitled to draw benefits
the same as anyone else. There is, how
ever, clause in the prospectus govern
ing the distinctions made between the
different methods of losing ones en-
ployment.
This is of vital Importance. 1t sets
forth that such a calamity shall not be
for incompetence. dishonesty or intem-
perance. Barring these provisos, and
they would seem to cover pretty nearly
all the ground, should man lose his
position he can draw one-third of his
salary for four weeks.-New York Jour-

MAINTAINING HIS REPUI A.
TON

The chief falsifier of the Times contin-
ues to maintain his standing at the
head of the class. Among the latest en-
deavors emitting him to the position
he has held without a rival for many
moons, is the printed assertion that his
sheet is the only Los Angeles newspaper
which publishes a sworn statement of
circulation. If this statement were only
true the president, general manager,
editor in chief, etc., etc, would be saved
sundry attacks of indigestion, could
husband his profanity for state
occasions and would be spared
the insomnia occasioned by the
perusal of sworn statements of The
Heralds circulation since December 81,
1894.
This aspirant for the position Of fed
eral patronage broker for Southern Cal
ifornia may not realize it, but the con-
slant iteration of this glaring falsehood
regarding the matter of sworn state
ments is building for his organ a
reputation for unreliability akin to that
enjoyed by that notorious historical
character, Ananias.
