STEWARDS PLEA FOR GOLD.

The declaration of Senator Stewart,
of Nevada, for the single gold stand
ard just about year after the alleg-
ed "crime of 1873" will be one of the
features Of the new edition Of the
sound money pamphlet, Silver and
Common Sense" which has just been
issued by Deputy Comptroller Coffin,
The book is proving such valuable
weapon in the sound money fight that
5000 copies have been ordered by a
New York bank and many other or
ders are coming to Mr.. Coffin. The
speech of Senator Stewart, from
which the extracts are made, was de-
livered on February IL, 1874, and was
as definite a declaration for the gold
standard as can be found anywhere
in sound money literature. The argu-
ment then made was the same as
now made by the advocates of hon
est money, who are opposed to trif-
ling with International bimetalism.

IT is COWARDLY
Is What President Cleveland Calls
HaZing.

Is What President Cleveland Calls
Hazing.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-The presi-
dent, in dismissing' Cadets Charles
Bishop, Jr., and II. S. Commager,
from the military academy at West
Point, seizes the opportunity to ex-
press his contempt for hazing in fore
ible language. These cadets were
tried by court-martial last month for
making several "Plebes" stand on one
foot in a painful position while they
were otherwise tOrmented and mar
raised. One boy was compelled TO
go through the full bend leg exercise
of the drill regulation while holding
Indian clubs aloft according to the
findings.
In approving the sentence of Cadet
Bishop the president wrote:
'The offense of maltreating and
abusing new cadets by upper class
men is so mean and cOwardly and SO
opposed to every trait that should
characterize a gentleman and true
soldier that severe punishment should
not be necessary to secure its proven
ton. If, however, punishment must
be resorted to to bring about a discon-
tinuance of this disgraceful practice,
L can do no less than resist all appeals
for clemency."
The endorsement of the Commager
case was as follows:
81 am determined in all cases OF this
description when the proof is clear,
to refuse relief to those cadets, who,
in violation of a wholesome regula-
ton of the military academy, indulge
in the brutal and cowardly treatment
of beginners, commonly called haz-
ing.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

AOih th' iAiHuOi Itditl.
The political campaign is beginning
to wax warm in San Antonio. The
saloon man is more sought after than
the doctor or parson.
Remember you are for sound money,
sound politics, sound sense.
Remember that you are for the men
who recognize the liquor men as le-
Ultimate business men.
We don't want a religious crank
like Bryan to be president of the Unit
ed States, we do want a liberal mind
ed man upon a sound money platform.
We are in favor of fair party con-
test, but we condemn the use of the
police force to decide who is who.
The action of the police force at the
Republican meeting at Mission garden
is blot upon our city government.
&s
The taxpayers pay the police force
to arrest all violators of the law, but
not to sustain one faction over an
other at a public meeting.
The saloon men of San Antonio are
the peace makers; let them be careful
to treat every one alike. They won't
be troubled with the free silverites
very much.
Bryan has made his big speech in
New York and it is big bag of wind.
Good business men, such as saloon
men, have no use for deprecated
money.
The interference by the police in
favor of the 0gden-C Clifford Terrell
crowd at Mission garden was great
outrage
Fulton, the Democratic opponent of
Judge Noonan, has withdrawn. The
judge is a sure winner.
Nat Lewis, the popular district
clerk, is not guilty of sending the two
car loads of Ogden negroes to the
Mission garden convention. Nat has
modestly kept on the fence in this
convention.
Joe Kohr, is the only gentleman for
office who has appreciated the Liquor
Dealer. Joe will not lack friends on
the day that tries mems souls.
The attempt to capture the Republi-
can county organization with negro
mob at Mission garden was a failure.
The white men were there.
The use of the police to put one fac
ton in power over another, as prac-
ticed at Mission garden on the 18th,
is tyrannical and disgraceful.
Bryan has shot off his gun at New
York. Now comes the facts-solid
facts-No preacher buslness-no camp
meeting enthusiasm. but the cold, ar
gument with the people.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
saloon men have paid big state
county and city tax, the city is behind
so is the state. Something is wrong.
The good people of San Antonio are
tired of office holders combines; they
want good men for Office regardless
of ths-endorsement of the Big 4, or
6.
