WEDNESDAY,, OCTOBER Z,

Much more encouraging news
comes from the Rio Grande as to
the prospects of the Noonan vote
in that section. The earlier re-
ports, to the effect that the peO-
pie had taken a slide away from
the grand old Republican who
carried the district two years
ago, are contradicted by more re-
cent advices. and there is no
doubt that those Republican
counties will increase their us
ual majorities. Assurance also
comes from some of the heavy
Democratic counties that their
vote will not be as heavy as two
years ago and that Judge Moo
nan will gain over his last years
vote all over the district. The
Judge is making a quiet canvass
and he is the best vOte-maker in
the state today. The candOr,
earnestness, quietness and open
ness of his mind and manner take
exceedingly well, while his splen-
did record in congress has put a
auietus on the canard that he
would not know what to do when
he got there.

The simple fact that the bro
kers i'm New York are now offer
ing odds that the city goes for
Mckinley shows how the wind
of opinion is setting. One week
ago the offers were for even mon
ex- while today the odds is five
40 four. This is in effect to say
THAT the chances of Mckinley
carrying the city are twenty per
cent greater than they were one
week ago. This is good enough
for New York City, and it is
equally true of that disputed ter
ritory in the northwest.

b. San Antonio is sitting down in
the stern sheets of the municipal
boat and letting things drift.
Direction and not drifting should
be the order of the day. I'm
prOvementS upon the streets are
greatly needed, and where the
sewers have been already
laid those improvements should
be at once undertaken. No city
ever amounts to anything with
her streets in the condition that
these in this city present, and
yet they are better than those of
any other city in South Texas.
San Antonio cannot afford to be
governed in this thing by the
conditions elsewhere existing or
by a false economy. There is
too much at stake here for any
back action business. Improve
ment not impediment goes.

There is nothing in the pOliti-
cal situation in BeXar county
that shows the least change or
hope of change from former
methods. There are an infnites-
sinai number of the members of
all political parties who would
like to see a straight election,
with the party lines fairly drawn
but these are greatly in the mi
nOrity, and even were there a de
sire to draw party lines where
would they be drawn. There
are the regular Republicans
and the Reform Republicans,
and the few free silver
Republicans on the one
hand. There are the freesilver
Democrats and the sound mon
ey Democrats and the free trade
Democrats and the protection
Democrats and the POpulists
and the PrOhibitiOnists and the
LabOrites and the national sill
veriteS, to name no more. In
drawing party lines Tor a county
ticket where would it be run?
The attempt would be infinitely
more puzzling than is the at
tempt to run that Venezuelan
boundary line. Not only so, but
the pie-eaters of Bexar county
regardless of party, have been at
the same pie-cOunter so long that
it would seem like a divorce
from bed and board to try and
separate them.

FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

Being satisfied that at each recur-
ring election the people are more and
more outspoken in favor Of a non-par-
tizan judiciary, and that the judicial
officers should not come in contact
with the strife and contention of polit-
ical parties. we hereby submit our
name to the voters Of Bexar county,
Texas, irrespective Of party nominal
tons and make our announcement as a
candidate for the office Of county Judge
at the ensuing November election.

Mark Hanna, at the recent
meeting of the Broadway Com,
mercial Travellers Sound Money
League, paid a splendid tribute
to the work that the trade mis-
siOnaries are doing for sound
money and protection. There
were nearly 1900 of the frater-
nifty present and the directors of
the campaign gave them the most
encouraging assurance of an I'M
expected triumph in November.
These MONDAY meetings of the
Commercial Travellers in New
York City are growing in import
ance and are welding an i'm
mense influence in the metrOpo-
lis. They will bear an import
ant part in the redemption of
New York City from the grip of
the Tammanyites, who care for
nothing under the sun but the
old Democratic party name.

There is no greater trust in the
United States than the silver

ignorance of the American peo-
pie to legislate it into double it's

The Indians and the squaw-
men in the territory are at ar
rows point. They threaten to
annihilates each other on sight,
and it might be a good thing for
this to happen, but United States
troops are on the ground and they
will keep the peace if they have
to kill off all the Indians to do it.

There is good work being done

There is good work being done
in the Tenth district. The vote
in that section of Texas is not so
Onesided as in some districts,
and then the Republicans have in
the field a man who in his per-
sOnal worth, business standing,
social influence, intellectual gifts,
sound money ideas and in all that
makes an ideal candidate, cuts a
wide swath. Two years ago the
difference between the Republi-
can and the Democratic votes of
the district was only 1900.
There is not a doubt that Haw-
ley will reverse the figures this
year and put that majority on
the side of the Republican candi-
date.

The writer is familiar with instances
where eastern settlers, men of iptelli-

years, sold at good advance and pur-

every way.

his hillside ranch into paradise, but
he of few dollars cannot do this. He
should buy the richest land, with good

an acre or two. This man of small

to remain bare and cherries; it is his

The cultivation of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to try
his skill with them. OF course, he need
not expect to be able to grow the rarer
sorts of nymph8a, but he can succeed
with many beautiful varieties of water

half barrel is not very attractive in itself,
but it's lack of beauty may be concealed
by plants, or it may be sunk it's depth

forget all about it's lack of grace. When
preparing for these plants put in rich
black mud from the bed Of streams, or
muck from swamps, to the depth of
foot, then plant your roots in it and fill
with water. Add enough water
from time to time to make up for that
which is lost by evaporation, and give

garden. If you want to grow more
plants than one tub will accommodate
it is good plan to take four, five, half
a dozen, or as many as you may decide
on, and have them sunk in the ground
close together so that the general effect
will be something like that which a
large tank would give. A better plan,
though more expensive one to carry
out, is to have a tank constructed of
heavy planks. These should be securely
bolted at the ends, and the joints made
tight by white lead in the grooves

Pots and Plants in Harmony.

The decorated stone pots so largely in
use for drawing for growing
plants need to be selected with care.
They should not only be adapted in
coloring to the plants they are to hold,
but there should be harmony in the
jars themselves, as no matter how beau
tiful each individual one may be if
there is incongruity in the coloring the
whole effect will be unpleasing. Even
an uneducated eye would detect the in
harmonious effect without being able to
discover the cause.--April Ladies'
