NO man or woman or child will
grudge Gen. Bliss his late promotion
and retirement upon his major-general
honors. The man who has served his
country as General Bliss has, under
all circumstances and in all positions
during an eventful career of 46 years,
has earned all that it is in the power
OF his country or his government to
confer. There is a warm place in the
affections of this city for the general
and other officers of lower rank who
in these years Of post duty have seen
does the people of the Old Alamo City
good to see honors coming upon these
frosted heads who have borne for de-
cade the burden and heat of the day.
They have earned their honors and
their rest.

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.

Only eight more weeks and the date
that has been set for the opening of
that competitive drill will be upon us.
The money is ready the military COM
there and elsewhere has commenced
and there is expectation on tiptoe, but
where are the visible signs Of the pre-
paration that are seen at home. Those
drill grounds have not yet been secur-
ed. 1t seems difficult to locate the
responsibility for anything, and that
is not what is going to make of this
drill the effective advertisement for
San Antonio that it is expected to be.
That executive committee is respectful
ly reminded that the days are Gid
ing swiftly by, that the weeks are reel
ing off one by one until nearly half of
those that were in sight when that drill
was really decided upon are gone. All
that is required 1t to take hold of the
matter in business way. Let all the
details Of the work be assigned i'm
diately and hold the superintendent of
each department strictly responsible
for so much and that definitely laid
down before him. There is general re-
sponsibilty enough in sight to put the
whole thing through. That executive
committee is all right as such, but it is
their business to shoulder the work
promptly. There is nothing to wait
for now, but to go ahead and do what
the committee determine on doing. 1t
is high time that every detail of that
drill was definitely settled upon, the |
whole program marked out, the direc- |
tors of the several matters assigned |
their duties and the work needed to be |
done put in hand. Delay Is fatal to |
the success of this work and the good |
name of San Antonio is involved in |
putting up drill program carving |
out of all its details in a way that will |
be above criticism. What is every
ones business is too often no ones, and |
this is the thing to guard against here.
san Antonio is back of that drill COM
mlttee and she expects that committee
TO lead the state in everything of the
hliu nltherto attempted. Business
must be made of this matter as Of prf-
waite business, then there will be all
the success that can be corralled ont
OF 1t. All things are waiting for the
prompt action Of those to whom the
conduct of these matters have been en-
trusted. Whoop it up for eight weeks
and reap your reward

There is nothing good to be said Of
the strike as means of redressing
grievances, but there is great deal to
be said about its place as the result Of
plain disregard of the rights of the
people. The great bulk of strikes arise
from the fact that franchises are Civ
en- to private parties, or trusts are
FORMED, by the operation of which the

correction of the evil will lie in making
these franchises yield their proper
revenue to the city or state, and so
regulating their exercise that they will
not work injustice to large masses Of

shows the present fever to be baby ep-

l, there were 1866 deaths, against q for
the same time this year; and in 1878
from Oct.-l to "a, there we're $50, against
76 this year. In other words, the death

as great as it 10 this year for the same
