1t may be that the attempt of the
allied warships to take up a position
in the harbors Of Greece would be at
tended with consequences. 1t is assert
ed that the harbors have been sailed
with dynamite and that there is dan
ger of sudden explosion if there is any
prowling around among the wires that
connect the mines with the electric
batteries on shore. Greece is very
much in earnest in her present pur'
pose and would defend herself in al
possible ways.

The support of the cOlOred voter,

The Democrats like the colOred vote
as well as the colored voter likes
'ppOssum, but they will never ac-
knowledge their obligations or their
likings. All the same they get the
cOlOred vote.

footing OUR HORN.

San Antonio never has been serious
" given to footing her own horn, but
there will be more horn footing done
| in her behalf than the oldest inhabi-
tant has dreamed of when that score
of competing bands break loose on
San Jacinto day. That Battle of
Flowers" is going to assemble such a
concert of bands in this city as Texas
has never seen, and there is going to
be music when they lead off with their
best blower foremost in that grand
competitive concert. There is not 60
ing to be any discount on the celebra-
ton of the proudest day in the history
of Texas as it will be observed this
year in San Antonio. No greater draw
ing card than the program prepared
for that occasion has been presented
vet, and the tens Of thousands who
will flock to this city on that day will
tax the resources of her hospitality to
the limit. All the same the latch
strings will hang out promiscous and
the best in the shack will be ready for
the visitors. There is not a town of
the half hundred whose bands will be
heard on that occasion that will not
turn out in force to root for their
home combination, and this will swell
the thosands beyond all previous num-
bers. There are other towns in the
state that pretend to keep the day
that the state rejoices in, but they are
not in it with San Antonio. The Bat
tie of Flowers is the native festival
of the "city of flowers" and here,
where the grandest heroism Of that
struggle for freedom was displayed is
the theater of the grandest celebra-
tons of the victory that crowned that
immortal sacrifice. Great is the occa-
ton that calls the tens Of thousands
of Texans to this historic city on that
historic day, great are the prepare
tons that are being made for that
event and great will the congregation
of the faithful be who assemble on
that suspicious day to aid in making
San Antonio the center of the greatest
celebration ever made of San Jacinto
day. For that occasion San Antonio
gives thanks, periodically.

AS the debate on tariff progresses
in Congress it is refreshing to note
how one by one the old time free trade
Democrats are falling into line be-
hind this or that protective feature of
the bill. Nearly every day some fresh
convert announces that he is not in
favor of free raw material. AS this
was the watchword of the party in
the not dim and distant past, it is en-
couraging to mark these departures
of the old time bourbanism of the
party of the past. Verify it has not
been in vain that the gospel of a pure
and undefiled protection is being
preached.

There is a disposition to knock out
the joint traffic association on the
ground that they are trusts. This is
a matter for the highest legal author
ity of the nation to decide. Laymen
are not in it. The fat has gone forth
that the trusts are not an American
necessity and for the interests of the
people. Both political parties are a
unit in their platforms as to the de-
struction of the trusts, but the Re
publican party is alone in it's efforts
to accomplish what the platform of
it's principle demands. So long as Mr..
Cleveland was in the chair at Wash
ington and the Democrats controlled
the state of New York there was no
effort made to knock out the combine.
Now it is different and the war is on
until victory remains with the people.

Hot corn in the Galveston elevators
will hurt worse than a hot box on her

her reputation immensely as a grain

in elevators. 1t is not good business
to put so long a handle on this un'
justified assumption, but it is done.
