Sabine Pass is really the best
deep water entrance on the gulf
coast today. The objection to that
port is that there is little or no
business that naturally seeks entry
to the interior of the country from
that entrepot. There may come in
time to be a different condition
existing there, but at present the
trade is largely taken up at New
Orleans that would reach the in
terror from Sabine.

That tourist hotel in this city
will not be built in a day, it may
not be built this summer, although
it ought to be, but it is destined to
come sooner or later, and the sooner
the better. 1t is by no means likely
that the project will take form at
once, for this city moves slowly,
but when it is put into shape it is
more than likely that it will be
put into such shape as to provide
for the best. San Antonio can be
depended on to not put up with
any thing less than the best when
she does move.

Whatever the situation holds {,

Whatever the situation holds for
the republicans Of any particular
state, in so far as the convention
at st. Louis is concerned, there is
no doubt that the convention there
will give no aid or comfort to the
democratic enemy. Whoever is
nominated at st. Louis is the next
president Of the United States, I'M
less death intervenes and carries
off the candidate. And it is no
disgrace to even politician to be
worried by the grim monster in a
tuesle.

There is nothing discouraging to
republican prospects in the recent
elections in the cities. Some DEM
ocratic gains are recorded. and
some unexpected changes, but it
must be remembered that last
years republican gains were
phenomenal and little raction is
to be expected.

Cuba is steadily gaining in the
opinion of the world, wherever
the facts upon which the opinion
is to be wisely formed comes to the
front and is taken into considera-
tion in determining conclusions.
1t will be easier for Cuba to place
herself right with the world when
she is placed right with herself,
and this right placing has been
greatly advanced by the action of
the United States congress.

DON'T POISON YOURSELF.
Food Is Poison if Allowed to Ferment in
Your Stomach,

Putrid food contains pnisons so danger
GUS that they cause effects similar to al.
kaloids which druggists are not allowed
to sell to the public.
No wonder so many OF us become dan
gerously sick from indigestion!
For what is indigestion?
1t is putrid (undigested) food in the
stomach.
The poisons of undigested food are alb
sorbed into the blood, and affect the liver,
the nerves, the kidneys, the heart and all
the organs Of the body.
They couse weakness, lethargy, head
ache, dizziness, mental depression, bad
taste, stomach ache, fever, flatulence,
palpitation, nausea, constipation, loss of
appetite, jaundice, prostration, an9mia,
rheumatism, etc.
They can be got rid of only by helping
the stomach to digest its food. and this is
done by the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
You will never be strong or healthy so
long as you suffer from indigestion, so
long as you allow your stomach to faint
your system with the poisons of putrid
food.
And, as for a cure, nothing will cure
you so quickly as Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, nothing so certainly relieve your
pain and discomfort or give you new
strength, energy and endurance.
At druggists. Ten cents for trial
bottle.

street, New York.

Black Plague on Shipboard.

Now that the council Of this city

Now that the council OF this city
as taken that sewer contract out
OF the incompetent hands, into
which it was at the first placed by
the rejection Of the best and most
responsible bid for the work, it is
to be hoped that the experience Of
the past will avail to prevent a
repetition Of the original blunder.
This city is only playing with bust
ness when it advertises for bids for
public work and then disregards the
plainest law OF business men in
awarding contract for the work
thus advertised. The city wants
the best work at the most moder-
ate price that it is offered for, by
the most competent and RESPONSE
BILE bidder. This is what it wants
and nothing else. This is so OBJ
vious that IL is matter OF surprise
that any mention OF it is needed,
but the action OF the council in
awarding the sewer contract neces-
states the stirring up their minds
by way Of remembrance. The
errors Of that first contract letting
must be avoided in this, or there
will be more than an error sus.
pected.

The A. P. A. have been some
what active in the late municipal
elections. This may do in the
northern states where religion and
politics are so often mixed to the
detrlment of both, but in this
southern country, where religion
and politics are taken like whisky,
straight, there is no general ap-
prevail Of the methods Of restric-
ton and prescription employed by
that secret association. No country
ever prospered under any move
ment to restrict liberty or to force
class legislation, and this is just
the milk in the cocoanut with the
movement that is called A. p. A,
no less than with all 1t opposes on
the too often mistaken ground OF
It's own prejudices. This, however,
cuts no ice, and it is of no conse-
quence whether it Is A. p. A, Gath
Ollie, Mormon or what not, the OBJ
lection is to all that is in any way
at work to prescribe a class, re-
strlcting political rights on account
OF religious faith.

Spain has found that the con-
gress of the United States has it's
own ideas as to events in Cuba ;
also that the feeling of this country
is strongly in favor of a people
who for the past half a century
have been very largely engaged in
a heroic struggle to throw of the
yoke of a foreign government and
administer their own affairs in
their own way. Bluffing the peo-
pie of this country has not been a
distinguished success in this case,
nor will it be in any other under
similar conditions. There is a
feeling in the American breast
that revolts against coercion,
whether of itself or another, and
the sympathy of the people and
the government is naturally with
the under dog in the fight.

Quartette to sing against as they sure

Harry Overholt and Mrs Smyth Of
Wichita We're tied for tenor prize and
each took half. My impression was
that Harry was far from being win
ner- I told him so, and many others
said the same. but the judges verdict
showed how little we amateurs know
ABOUT what constitutes good singing.
He was the only tenor who was per
fectly on the key from start to finish.
