CAN

Sell me a Diamond as cheaply
as 1 can get one from the
States? This is question we
are often asked. We answer:
Yes, we not only can; but we
do.
We have had many oppor-
tunities for comparison. and
we have never found that our
prices suffered by such com
parison.
The trouble is that too many
people take too much for grant
ed They believe that such and
such is the case, and do not
take the trouble to look care
fully into the matter.

The New York Times. the ablest free
trade paper in New York, frankly admits
that our foreign customers are not so
vexed at our new tariff law that they
have ceased to buy from us, showing
that the free trade prediction that the
foreign countries would retallate for the
duties imposed on their goods by refus-
ing to buy ours, have failed. The report
of the bureau of statistics shows that
during the fret month OF the new tariff
our exports were the largest In value of
any recorded month, reaching S79,407, 500.
Our imports fell off owing to the heavy
tnticlpatory importatlons before the
Dingley bill passed, and which must be
consumed before more importatIons will
be demanded.
The Times declares that as there Is no
suggestion in the advance reports from
the bureau OF statistics of marked dis
proportion IN the exports Of breadstuffs,
It is to be assumed that American manu-
facturers have persisted in selling their
wares abroad, The advantage Of stu
alton by which there IS large excess Of
exports over imports Is the assur-
ance of the future concerning plenty of
gold and the renewed confidence of for
eign investors in American securities.
The balance Is pretty sure to be on the
side of the United States for some time
to come.

The Wilson bill, which did not take away
all the protection, for which the bill was
denounced by free traders, did not pre-
vent the growth, though 1t did retard the
rate OF growth. The result Of the expert

proves the falslty OF the free trade de-
claratlon that TIN plate could not be
made in this country. and has vindicated
the wisdom OF the Mckinley policy.

T. B. JOHNSON
For City Treasurer.

Mr.. Thomas B. Johnson of the San
Antonio Light is a candidate for city
treasurer. Mr.. Johnson is not on any
of the so-called tickets, but runs in the
independent column.
The office of the city treasurer has
been in the present treasurer's hands
for the past twelve years, and located
in the San Antonio National bank, an
institution that controls the water
works and has dictated, by its power
over the finances of the city, the policy
of the city during all of the Gaia
CHAN reign. Mr.. Herff is not only a
servant of the city but he is the SER
want of the National bank 1t has
been given out that only a banker or
cashier of bank can be treasurer,
because Mr.. Herff seems to have fled
a mortgage on the office, but we had
treasurers before his time who were
not bankers, who were efficient, hon
est men-It is about time Mr. HeFff
was relieved of the cares Of the city
treasury. Twelve years is quite long
and it would be good law that would
make a treasurer incompetent to hold
Office two terms consecutively;no on
ly should the money be counted but
the duties of the office turned over to
fresh; clean hands, every two years. No
doubt Mr.. Herff would gladly resign
after so long a term, but the bank
won't have it. He naturally runs on
the Callaghan ticket-the old Breck-
enridge firm.
Mr.. Johnson's other opponents are
excellent gentlemen who have been
put on their respective tickets as make
weights.
OF Mr.. Johnson it can be said that
he is business man of marked abili-
ty; that his newspaper success,in serv-
ing the people a valuable evening pa
per, has placed him in the front rank
of our enterprising citizens; he is deep
ly interested in the welfare of the city;
has lived here for eighteen years and
never held any public position; his pa
per has always been on the side of lib
eral ideas, and for the good of the city.
Mr.. Johnson is an early bird at his
business house. generally before half
the business men Of the city are out
of bed-when elected, which he evil

of dark green velvet ribbon. Rows
of the same ribbon came below the
ruffies. The bodice was also gathered
and was sewed to the skirt. Its rib
bon trimming outlined a yoke finished
with n bertha of batiste. and from the
shoulders there were long ends of
white silk held in with the belt.
Heavy white silk was the fabric of
the full-sized gown. Its bodice had
fitted linig, but the outer material
was cut full enough to bag above the
wide belt of scarlet satin. A jaunty
bolero of the scarlet satin was laid
in overlapping pleats and slightly full
ed in the centre of back and front.
1t was ornamented with buttons,
which were repeated on belt and
cuffs, the latter being of the satin.
Dancing classes are no longer kin
dergarten affairs for the little sisters,
because with each season a lot of
new dances are invented or a lot of
old ones are revived. The busy belle
and the up-tO-date hostess must of
course keep informed, which necessi-
tates a lot of practice. So dancing
classes are formed in January and in
February that the dances to be trip

her eyes. Besides. it gives her some
thing to hold; alas! that it must be
confessed, few women have acquired a
poise that enables them to keep their
hands still without something to hold
on to. 1t is the right thing, also, to
show a touch of fur on these erratic
muffs, and nothing can be cutter than
a dance muff that is nothing but a
bunch of sable tails set in a frill of or
candle tied up in several yards of mar
row ribbon, and finished off just to
be saucy with a bunch of violets or
three or four long stemmed roses. The
belle of the moment is certainly bun
die of the combined alurements of all
the seasons. Look at her muff if you
don't believe it.
The newest outdoor muffs are of the
fiat shape shown in this picture, and
on them fur and laces are frequtnly
combined. Matching the fur to the
bodice is a common trick, but rarely is
