For some unexplained reason the
present attempt to keep the paved
streets clean from litter and dirt is
most unsatisfactory, and growing
more so continually. Dust may be
hard to get rid Of, but there is no ex.
cuse for leaving windrows of dirt and
debris ad papers and offal along the
curb every time the streets are swept.
A better service than this is de-
manded.

What Cleveland and Mckinley
would do if they were to confer on
the Cuban question may possibly be
understand by the man who suggest
ed it, but the present and the incom-
ing presidents are so far apart on
nearly every question of public inter-
est that on this one it is not likely that
they are agreed. Cleveland has shown
his hands too plainly to ask for new
deal now. He had better play out
the hand he holds and then when the
new deal is made Mckinley will play
his own hand.

These windy days only serve to
blow the truth through the whiskers
of pedestrians that this is an awfully
dirty and dusty town, but the city adj
ministration does not seem to see it
that way. This is not one of the'Bless-

was made last Sunday.In fact the fell
low whose eyes are blinded by the
dust is not in a humor to call any
thing blessed, unless it is over the

That bill presented in the national
house of representatives to double
the length of the presidential term
and extend the terms of senators to
eight years is in the right direction.
To even it up the terms of members
of the lower house should be extended
to six years and then there would be
some relief from these eternally re-
curing elections. Were this done
there would soon follow a reform in
the state constitutions in the same dr.
rection and the term of state officers
be extended. There is nothing hits
so hard or so often as change in the
governing body of the state or the ma
ton. The experiences of the past
have taught some costly lessons on
this subject.

Arkansas Pass deep water promoters
want all that section Of Texas that
the state has control of in the neigh
borhood of the Pass and in the ad-
jacent counties conveyed TO them
by the act of the state legislature.
They are modest. Better wait and see
something really tangible that they
have accomplished for the state. be-
fore asking such donation. If this
legislature does not wish to incur
criticism that it cannot meet and
rebuke that will make it's ears sting,
then it would be wise to go very slow
in moving In this matter. The islands
of this mainland are the hold that the
state has on the coast, and about its
only hold and it should not be surren-
dered to any greater extent than has
been already done. There is nothing
in the situation that justifies such a
grant either as a donation or as
privilege of purchase under special
conditions. Texas has already made
as many syndicates rich by her land
deals in their behalf as is at all heal
thy for her interests. The time is
ripe to stop such deeds of grant by
the legislature, and this session
should see it done.

The Boatner bill to increase the sal
airy of the speaker of the House to
$4,000 and that of members of Senate
and House to $500 is not a bill that
the people of this country will favor
at present. The general opinion is
that the salaries are high enough for
the conditions Of the people. 1t is
true that many larger salaries than
these are drawn in every state in the
union, but $1,000 is as much or more
than the average congressman would
earn Mt home in any private capacity.
Let the increase follow the return Of
a large prosperity and not run upon
the heels Of long depression.

SO far Uncle Sam and Spain have
not come to any direct misunderstand-
ing, but it cannot long continue. The
unstrained quality Of that Spanish in

horrors and cruelties, will inevitably
strain the relations between this
country and Spain until this country
will not bear the imputation Of cowar-
dice and recreant republicanism to
which it is hourly exposed.
