BETTER TIMES.

The BANNER is not eXulting
| over the fact that the Republi,
cans are rapidly falling into dis
favor because of their failure tt
bring prosperity and redeem
their oft repeated promises
We could afford to endure fol
awhile Republicanism if we
could see any change for the
better in the business conditions
of the country. But, as the
promised prosperity has not yet
arrived, and there is no i'm
mediate prospects of its coming;
with none of their promises re-
deemed, it is the heighth of folly
to expect sensible men to again
be deceived by such silly and
demagogical promises. Nothing
but Individual economy and the
readjustment of credits can bring
prosperity again, and that will
require time and patience. 1t is
the history of panics that they
come lightly once in about 10
years and severely about 20 years
apart, and the latter last about 5
years before a material and not
able improvement sets in, Why
this is, the most learned and
careful students are unable to
fully explain, but it is pretty well
known that all things in nature
move in cycles, and the time will
probably come when these ap-
parently memorable laws of
nature will be better understood
than they now are. At present
the only men who claim to fully
them are those who
are VIGOROUSLY ignorant on all
other things. But panics come
and go without regard to theories
or assertions. The one of 1873
lasted for about years and then
the return to prosperity slowly |
began and slowly progressed, al |
though there was a high protec-
tive tariff all the time and for
several years before and after.
These facts are fresh in the
memory of all old and middle
aged men. 1t was probably the
result of national sickness
brought on by an overstrain of
credit and other excuses, ex-
lctly analogous to illness brought
IN the individual by over exer-
ion and a violation of the laws
If health. The day to stop
md settle came again in 1893, |
md in the natural order of things
he time for recuperation to COM
nence is near at hand. That it
viii come slowly no thoughtful
nan doubts, but that it will come
surely is just as certain. There
probably will be no boom but
'ather a gradual betterment of
until fairly prosperous
ilnes prevail. Many of the old
conditions have so changed that
t can hardly be expected that
my great boom viii be felt.
The day for the surplus popula-
ion to go west and grow up with
he country and thus relieve thel
competition among the laboringl
lasses has largely passed, and
he worlds competition in the
PRODUCTION of breadstuffs and
manufactured goods is daily and
lourly growing sharper. These
nd a thousand other conditions
ave materially changed, and if
he same conditions never repeat
hemselves the same result can
.ot follow. But approximate
'uesses may be made, and the
ime.seems to be about due for a
tart for better times.

The country is very 10th tot believe
that the Cubans have been deliberately
outlawed in the thought of the present
government at Washington, and it will
wait confirmation of its fears. There
is not much ground to hope that the
false ideas of national consistency and
honor that prevail at Washington will
so change as to permit of justice being
done Cuba, but there is some hope that
Congress will force the administration
to pay decent regard to the protests
and petitions that arise from all quar-
tiers in behalf Of the struggling people
Of that island.

The situation develops. Turkey will
insist on everything in sight and in the
mean time keep pushing the Greeks,
the evident result of which will be on
ly the more seriously to cripple that
plucky nation and infict punishment
upon them. That Thessaly will be
yielded to the Turk no one expects
but all that Turkey can squeeze out
of the Powers will be taken There
is not a doubt that the prowess and
promptness of Turkey have taken Eu-
rope by surprise. Russia has no inten-
ton of seeing Turkey gorge herself
with Grecian possessions and the halt
will soon be called. In the mean time
the Turkey gets prestige and millions
and will smoke his pipe.

Railroad building in this southwest
when it really advances beyond the
paper stage will create a decided move
ment in real estate and agricultural
operations along the line of the opened
road. Nothing would be wanting to
this city in the way of rail facilities
with the road to Velasco built and the
road from Brownsville through this
city to Kansas City. With these roads
in operation it would be in order for us
to wait for the others to come our way.
Nothing can more benefit us than a
road through the north, leading out to
the Kansas and Missouri grain fields
and orchards and bringing our own
northwest state section to our doors
for their market
