The voting for presidential electors

quiet and orderly that none would
have known that an election was go

ceived. There We're no crowds around
the polls, no men giving tickets or
seeking by persuasion or corruption
to influence votes. All was so differ

CAN'T SKIN THE GREAsERs.


l see the Business Mems club has
been discussing the ways and means
Of extending San Antonio's trade with
Mexico and that the railroads are will
ling to cooperate with the movement,
but there are many difficulties in, the
way. England, Germany and France
control the bulk of the trade for the
reason that they pay better attentions
to the requirements of the country, give
better terms and longer credits, and
for that reason it will be a long
and hard struggle to uproot the power
that has been firmly established here,
yet see no reason why such a move
ment cannot be in measure success
full if Americans adopt the same tao
tics as their opponents and make 1t
worth while for the Mexican traders
to support them There is in some Sec
lions a prejudice against Americans
but even that could be overcome by
proper action. The Mexican is as
sharp after profits as the American
and If he is treated properly his favor
and his trade are gained, but it will
not do TO play any ''skin" game on
him. for he will bitterly regret it.
