Col. Brewster, the old Republican
war horse of Laredo, has been here
and radiated around considerably in
his old jolly way. OF course the col
onel is for Mckinley and Republican,
ism and grows quite enthusiastic over
the grand prospect of the Republican
return to power. A solid financial
policy and protection, the colonel be-
lieves, will place the United States
upon its old, prosperous footing.
Mr.. Henry Watzlavzick came in
with the Hill excursion party and is
delighted with the cool, healthy eli
mate. We had many pleasant talks
together at the Hotel Jardin when it
was cool enough to wear an over
coat pleasantly. Mr.. WatzlavZick is
so surprised at the magnificence of
this city, at its grand resources, and
grateful to escape getting burned up
out in San Antonio that he proposes to
locate here.
Conductor L. f. Wefing, who is
frequent visitor here, brought his
wife and child down here to cool off
and they seemed to enjoy the visit We

Quite a number. of San Antonians

MEXICO CITY LETTER.
FRENCH CELEBRATE THE FALL OF
THE BAsTILE.
Juarez Memorial Service-Notes of Visit
ing San Antonians and Other
Interesting Gossip.

Special Correspondence.
City of Mexico, July 29.-In days
that are passed we used to have some
very good Fall of the Bastile celebra-
tons, and especially good were those
given by Mr.. G. N. Leroux, who enter
itained friends at his chateau with all
the grace and liberality of a eelebra-
ton this year, and that Mr.. Leroux
was missed, but your celebrations,
however good, were not equal to
those of st. Louis, or New Orleans
and neither of the latter were equal
TO that of the City of Mexico, at the
last recurrence of that event. The
committee of the Cercle Francois ar
ranged a program that was indeed
we'll CANNED out. In the morning there
Were bicycle races and athletic sports
at the Union Cyclist grounds, the COM
petitors being eFrench and Mexicans-
A large crowd was present. These
sports, / should add, were preceded
by a grand parade through the city.
In the afternoon there was a grand
Eermess and ball at the Tivoli Elises,
which was most prettily decorated
for the occasion and balloons were
sent up and there was a grand dis
play of fireworks. The great feature
of the evening was the famous ball,
given at the Cegele Francois club on
Gale de In Palma. This is the head
quarters Of the aristocratic French
and there are many in the city. The
building is not much TO look at on the
outside, because it is simply a spa
cious mansion converted into a club
room. but the front was very prettily
decorated for the occasion and looked
all the better for it. The interior

THE DEATH OF MAcEO.

The death OF ANTONIO MAcEo, the col
ored Cuban leader removes from the
arena Of active life one OF the most
powerful and important figures in the
history of this i'll fated island
His elements dictatorship have been
conspicuous and his achievements in
the face of seeming exhaustless re-
sources of Spain, well-nigh phenome-
nal.
By series of military maneuvres, he
has won plaudits, and obtained renown
throughout the civilized world.
His color has been forgotten, and his
praises sung in every CLINE.
AS fabian in his policy as WAsHIFe-
TON az ubiquitous as JACKSON, and as
resistless in his assaults as SHERIDAN,
he ranks among the ablest generals Of
tbs age. But he is dead. they say.
Perbaps twas best. Cuba's liberty
meant little to him. With the advent
of peace, would have come the tramp
of cate, ana his color would no doubt
ha the source Of much humiliation and
insult. He saw Cuba despoiled He
tonight to make ner free. In the balmy
realms of the blest. he can dream Of
her future glory and sing songs for
her eternal peace
MAcEo is no more, The SpAniaid Z
ults. the Cubans signs, while with NUT
tered lmprecations upon those who laid
him low he swears revenge upon those
for his untimely taking or

THE NEW MOVEMENT.

The Sound Money contingent has de-
cided TO continue its organisation and
battle for honest elections.
II finds that in the Acknowledgement
Of one class Of citizens by questionable
and illegal methods rests the decay OF
the government itself and the robbery
Of any other member Of the body poli-
tic who may differ from the ring which
is entrenched in power.
The Richmond Dispatch" a. the
champion Of the nullifiers OF the Viz
ginia Constitution. bids defiance TO
those who would engineer the move
ment and declares its contempt Tor
those who would follow such cause.
It plants itself squarely upon the
platform OF corruption and dishonesty
in politics, and threatens with disaster
any who may oppose the ring.
Flushed with success in the state
confident of their ability to again con-
troll the Affairs of state, the allied fore
es Of ruin are threatening the best
blood of the commonwealth, and defy
ing the people they profess to repro
sent.
But men more secure than they have
been overthrow. Such arrogance, al
. rule is a harbinger of defeat
The movement for honest electionl
will ere many days have passed as
sumo mammoth proportions, and po
liticsl upheaval OF q magnitude which
will be TO the ringsters appall, engul
their rebeliious crew in . whirlpool o
certain destruction.
Honesty is the best policy purity il
election methods is the best way to re
main in power.

Qua able contemporary, the Georgia
Baptist in its issue of the 10th inst.
says:
REV s. N. Vass. takes a large mum.
Der Of papers published by colored
men and his verdict is that the Geor.
gia Baptist has more original reading
matter in it every week than any o.
them. Any other person will reach the
same conclusion by comparing the pa
pers."
Let us see. In the issue OF the Geor.
gia Baptist referred to there are a. ,I6s
ems of original reading matter: in the
out-of-town edition of the PLANET Of
the 18th inst, there are SO 40 ems o.
original reading matter. Some of oul
Afro-American contemporaries which
come to our sanctum have at times
done equally as we'll; the New Yorl
Age, The Co'ored American and The
Freeman being noticeable examples
We commend our contemporary for TT
enterprise and congratulate Rev DIR.
WHITE upon his evidences of financial
success, but, brethren, use the type
rule and be Convinced.

a that conspired 70 drive the hatabele
10 war against the South Africa Chart
red COMPANY. lt & the same old
tory Of wrong, oppression and out
rage upon the native by the white man
Illuminating IN the former being driv-
len 60 desperation and preferriDg TO
die By the sword rather than bear the
IlndiRnities heaped upon him. In the
ease o. the Natabele, the initiative in
he porpetration OF these atrocities
upon the natives, WAS taken by q" high
liz placed official" OF the Chartered
lOompany, who set the example which
was but too veil followed by the ma
tive police.
Il says further:
as regards the tendency of the
white man to Cypress the native, il is
neither polite nor wise il the former
desires to maintain his control and
predominsnce in Africa 1t is absurd
TO suppose or believe that the African
viii for ever remain the ignorant, sub
missive and abject creature which he
now presents. de possesses all the at
tributes OF humanity, and as ne be-
comes more enlightened and il stimu-
lated into national life and activity by
the outside forces brought to bear
upon him, he will exhibit these attri-
butes in precisely the same way as
they are exhibited by other nations
And again:
1T is the ignorance OF the native
which enables the white man to mai g
use Of one for the overcoming the 9th
or, but this condition will cease to ex-
rat IS enlightenment spreads and the
power for national growth is develop
ed and the naturally strong racial in
stincts OF the people must servs to
promote such growth. When this ma
tional pc er has been acquired the At
rican will no longer remain the subju
gated and oppressed creature OF al
alien race, but will undoubtedly exert
himself to throw OF the shackles OF co
ercion and oppression, and repossess
himself OF his rights. 1t is evidently
wisdom then on the part Of the white
man Co modify his treatment OF the ma
tive II he aspirss to dwell permanently
in Afric.
These are words of wisdom, anC
much that is therein contained is ap
!. plicable alike to the citizens Of Afric al
descent in this country.

crimes in the decalogue to our accoun
We are busy praying to God to save u
from the exercise of those beastly an,
british habits which the white MAJ
taught US, and is at the present tim
practicing himself.
