The railway delegates left today
for their homes. Many Of them
stated they would return to San
Antonio the first chance that Of
fers, as they are charmed with San
Antonio's hospitality, the beauti-

AS a sort of wind-up Commodore
Buck Hice yesterday afternoon es-
corted a party Of the visitors to
Government Hill, where the dress
parade of the Fort Sam Houston
garrison was seen, and Muth's
garden was visited.
The City brewery was also Wis.,
tied, then beautiful San Pedro
park was reached and a pleasant
hour was spent there before the
party returned to the Menger no.

Cleveland and Hill, the two biggest
Democrats in the great state of New
York. one the president of the nation
and the other the senator from that
state. are alike silent as the grave in
the face of the greatest political crisis
that has come to the country in thir-
ty-six years. This may be wisdom
for them, but it does not strike the
average citizen that it is either cOur-
ageOus or patriotic.

The horny handed sons of toll who
have been seduced into following the
lead of bonanza silver mine owners.
are beginning to enquire when and
how it is that these fellows who are
sounding the praises of free silver in
all ears are so insistent upon taking
only gold in return for their silver
bullion. When this question is an
swered honestly there will be an end
to all free coinage of silver nonsense
in this country. An honest answer
they dare not give.

1t was not a'wise movement on the
part of the Twelfth New York district
to tender the congressional nomina-
ton to Cochran. They should have
known that Cochran is a sound mon
ey Democrat and is only supporting
Mckinley to save the country from
the dire evils of reputation and ma
tiOnal dlscredit. He is not Republi-
can in his tariff views, and this is
after all the distinction between the
two parties today. 1t is not the
finances that divide them. Revenues,
tariff. internal improvements are the
great divisional questions still.

AS an Irishman would say, by the
powers, the Powers can threaten more
and do less than any other set of fell
lows with their backing in all Chris
tendon" Has the sultan of Turkey
hOOdOOed Germany and France and
Austria and England and Russia?
Verify it squints that way. The eff
feminancy of all Europe in the face
of the mOnstrOus inlquities perpetrat-
ed within the shadow of the throne of
the sultan is one of the most glaring
outrages on government that the his
tory of nations has witnessed.

The st. Louis GlObe-Democrat spe-
cial from Fort Worth on Tuesday
night, in which Quincy is placed as a
winner and Ferguson the man who is
TO nominate him for temporary chair
man, strikes the reader in the light
of subsequent events as a mighty
queer piece of staff correspondence.
The Globe-DemOcrat is the only one
of all of the papers represented there
which saw any harmony in the eye
of Ferguson in so far as Quincy was
concerned. 1t only shows how few
have political prescience, and how
hard it is to tell the end of a thing
even when you are right in the mid
die of it. Such is newspapers.

1t was said long ago by one of the
wits of the world that the Devil was
an adept at quoting scripture. This
is certain, that the scriptures can be
quoted in support of almost any the
DRY, and that it is being fired at the
free silverites in chunks is not to be
denied. Bryan started the ball in his
scripture illusions and the press is
rubbing it in on him strong.

Tammany and Hill have come to
the parting of the ways. At least
Tammany endorses the Chicago plat
form and the nominees that accepted
their nominations upon it. while Hill
absolutely refuses to swear allegiance
to that instrument or take part in n
convention pledged to support it. How
it is possible for these parties to walk
the same Democratic path in the fu
ture is a cOnundrum.

The value of HOgg's political pres,
cience is seen in his declaration that
Bryan will carry New York by
100000 majority. Over and against
this declaration of the erstwhile gov
ernOr of Texas, place that of Whit,
ney of New York, that Mckinley
would carry the state by 100000 and
only thing is to size them up and see
upward. Both of these gentlemen
are distinguished Democrats and the
which one is in best condition to
make reasonable estimate of teh
situation.

GREAT PAPER FOR BRYAN.

The manner in which the opponents
Of the ticket nominated Mt Chicago have
begun their campaign must rouse the
resentment of every Ameri-
can regartlful of the interests and jeal-
Gus of the honor of his country. The
representatives of half the American
people have been denounced in deliri-
Gus lauguage as anarchists, cut-throats
and swindlers Their chosen candidate
for the highest office In the republic
has been pictured as crazy Jacobin or
n designing demagogue. Commerce and
industry have been threatened with the
very panic these alarmists profess to
fear.
This crusade has been one of reckless
misrepresentation from the start. The
that the Chicago platform is not anar-
chial. In most respects 1t Is inspired by
enlightened prOgressiveness. The mild
implied criticism of the majority of the
Supreme Court. or, rather, of the one
justice who changed his mind, was
thoroughly well deserved. and might
have been made much stronger without
improperly. Since when have we been
endowed with infallible judges, whose
acts are above criticism? If the advo-
cacy of the just and scientific principle
of taxation of large incomes was anar-
chistic, then every statesman in Eng
land is an anarchist, and. instead of
searching the cellars of the house of
parliament for barrels of gunpOwder.
the authorities ought to search the
pockets of every member for bombs.

make old Sol his prisoner and force the
sun to do the work hitherto assigned to
weaker agents. The sun. he says, will
do the work better, quicker and infinitely
cheaper than coal. gas and OIL BY the
use of his solar engine he proposes to
collect the rays of the sun in huge lenses
and focus these upon boilers filed with
water. The heat of the sunlight, which
averages 100 degrees through the entire
year and rises to 100 degrees in the sum-
mer, will, it is said, be concentrated to
800 degrees Fahrenheit. This temporal
ture is sufficient to convert the water
in the boiler into steam almost instantly.
The steam is then to be conducted by
pipes to an engine of the ordinary type,
where a dynamo may convert the steam
power into electricity and conduct 1t to
distant places.
The electricity may also be stored away
for future use. or the steam power may
be utilized on the spot. A single solar
motor is to contain a sectional lens of
not more than 500 square feet, being
fifty feet long and ten feet wide, with IL
curvature of onc-eighth of u circle. AS
Mr.. Gathmann figures it, such machine
would cost about $500 and could fur
nish the year around at Il mean solar tem-
perature of 100 degrees a constant force
equal to seven horse power. BY covering
an acre of ground in the outskirts of II
city with these machines, Gathmann be.
lieves that he could get constant equiv
alent of not less than 600 horse powers.
He estimates the cost of plant like
this at $4,000 to $4,000, which is about
twice as much us Il steam boiler with 600
horse pow0fs Wpuld N u
