There is a grand opportunity be-
fore the Republicans of Texas, in
their approaching convention. The
time fixed for the meeting OF the
convention is far enough in the
future to allow reason to assert
itself over passion and the good
OF the party, which is the good OF
the country, to be considered.
There should be no hesitancy in
taking ground.against the contin-
ued rule in this state of those who
have ever been led by private in
terests to attempt leadership. Tex
as has an utter contempt for the
pie politician. She would gladly
fall into line with a republican
leadership that would stand for all
that Is best in the principles and
practice of the party. Texas APP
proves the policy of the republican
party, but Der utter contempt is
poured out without stint upon the
management as well as the mana
gers of the party machinery in this
state. Let Fort Worth see the rep
resentstive republicans of the state
assembled (not the pie Bosses but
the men who represent the loyalty,
the worth, the integrity,the Amer
icanism of the republican party,
and there will be a change in the
situation. Texas has tens OF thou
sands of republicans who have
never received the mark OF the
boss in their forehead nor bowed to
his image, white or black. Let
these men come to Fort Worth for
the redemption OF the party, let
them be wise and united and they
can accomplish that redemption.

The death roll in that Pennsyl-
vania mine has scaled down to
nearly one.half the original num-
Der, but as it now stands (59) it is
an awful sacrifice Of life. The one
crying evil Of this present is the
cheapness at which human life is
held, and yet it could not well be
otherwise, for the supply is greater
than the demand. The statisti-
clans say that there are three more
births every minute than there are
deaths. This means q round mil
lion added to the population of the
world every year. This increase is
continually growing by what it
feeds upon and there will soon be
more people on earth than the old
planet can wiggle under.

II Taubeneck speaks for the
populist party then there is only
one man outside of the party fold,
who would be acceptable at Chica-
go, who would receive the support
Of the populists at the polls. He
Is Teller. Taubeneck says that it
would not be consistent for the
populists to endorse q democrat.
1t Is q wonder that Taubeneck has
been so long coming to this con-
clusion. Perhaps some OF the
good deacons of the populist
church have been exercising their
gifts upon their pastor. At all
events it is encouraging to see
signs Of returning political grace
in the words of Pastor Taubeneck.

The free democracy are rather
free with their advice to the re-
publicans at times, but there are
encouraging signs to indicate that
they are not as free as they were.
Free trade Is losing its grip in

corral two thirds of that party to-
day without a tremendous effort.

the general restriction of immigra-

There is no doubt that the ma

in session in Chicago design to pay
no homage to the free silverites,

it also demonstrates that as a re-
suit the silver men will be found
on the floor Of the convention fight
ing the acceptance of the tempo
rary chairman proposed in the ma
tional committee report. 1t is not
a silver man they want so much as
their own silver man. They want

A GOOD ORDINANCE.

At Mondays council meet
ing Alderman Holt introduced
the following ordinance:
"Be it ordained by the City of
San Antonio that on and after
the date of the adoption of this
ordinance, no person shall be en-
ployed by the City of San Anto-
Mo in any capacity within it's cor
pOrate limits who does not well
understand and inteligibly speak
the English language"
This ordinance is not likely to
be in force until after the cleo
ton; and not then until you ask
Thad and Joe about it, as it will
directly effect the blanket bri-
gade, so much in demand just
now.

NooNAN IN THE DISTRICT.

Judge Noonan will spend
much of his time in the district
outside of Bexar county. He ex-
poets his friends at home to take
care of his interests, and no doubt
they will do SO. From letters
written by reliable men in sever
al counties give information that
the Judge has. gained in strength
since the last election. The Judge
has been over the district or at
least a great portion of it, but he
is out again with several able
lieutenants, and will tear down
all the false arguments that have
been put up by Slayden, the Pop
Ocrat. Judge Noonan will double
his vote in several'counties where
Houston won last time; he will
come, down this time in the lead
by at least 800; it may be 1000.
The people of the 18th district
are too well posted, and too well
satisfied with Judge NOOnan to
make any change, especially at a
time when the nation is turning
it's face to the Republican party
for safety.
