1t does seem that the parties in
Congress may yet justly be divided
along the lines of those who oppose
the administration and those who fav-
or its views, and this without any
drawing of party lines. The presi-
Dental following favors Hawaiian an
neXation and rejects intermeddling
with Cuba. Those who are opposed
to the administration take the opposite
tack and favor the recognition of Gu
ba while opposing the annexation Of
Hawaii. 1t looks as though there
were more personal grounds than any
other for this division. The annex
alton of Hawaii would rebound to the
increase of the United States and so
reflect credit upon the administration
of President Mckinley, and this is
opposed by his personal and political
enemies. Recognition of Cuba would
force the United States into difficulty
with Spain, and this is insisted upon
by these same personal and political
opponents. 1t does seem that the
rights of the case are altogether dis
regarded. The question is not con-
sidered on its merits.

There is a very peculiar condition or
affairs existing in Congress, and It's
effect upon legislation is going to
be most difficult to forecast. There
are two most important subjects be-
fore the country, relating to foreign
governments, Hawaiian annexation
and Cuban intervention. Nearly all the
Republicans favor the Intervention of
Hawaii and are opposed to any med
ding with Cuba at present. The
Democrats are on the other side of the
fence. This fines up the contestants
in general, but some of the most pro-
nounced opponents of Hawaiian an
nexation are in the Republican ranks,
while some of the most ardent advo-
Gates of the recognition of Cuban in
dependence are also Republicans.
The Democrats are in considerably the
same condition, some of their number
being hot partisans of the annexation
scheme, while opposed to meddling
with Spain in her management of Gu
ban affairs, at least at present. This
places both these schemes in jeopardy,
for no one can tell what pairings off
may materialiZe when the decisive
votes are to be taken. 1t is a waiting
game. and there is this to be said,
that Mr.. Mckinley has the virtue of
political patience in marked de-
gree. Hawaii will come under the
flag of the United States in good
time. All that belongs to her she
will get, and Hawaii is her island.

Old prosperity is declared in all
Democratic circles to have delayed
his coming, but it is fact that the
country has reached again the condi-
ton Of industrial prosperity that was
so noted in 1890 and in some instances
passed it, wages being in some cases
in advance Of what was then paid.
The month of December has seen some
important advances in wages made
in the great iron houses, and puddlers

CAN SEE STARS.

November and not March is usually
the regulation month for seeing "shoot-
ing stars" but San Antonio is going to
put in a month of star shooting next
March that will not take her youth
beauty and innocence out of bed at
| midnight to witness it. The exhibit
will be made by the Cincinnati Stars"
who take the month Of March in this
city for their early ball practice. San
Antonio has been chosen above New
| Orleans as the best southern city in
which to spend the earliest practicable
month of field preparation. This is a
compliment alike to the climate Of this
Incompatible winter resort, as well as
to the Inhabitants thereof, for the fame
of our baseball liking has gone out in
to all the earth and is known by every
baseball magnate in the land. This
choice of San Antonio has called out no
end of comment, and is remarked i'm all
the sporting papers of the day, with
no end of splendid compliment for the
energy and sporting proclivities of this
PARKWAY city. San Antonio will thus
be given an opportunity to see one of
the crack ball aggregations of the coun-
try at work, and there should be an ap-
probation of this pleasant compliment
to our city, in the preparations for their
coming. 1t is not half as necessary to
meet the boys with brass band and
trimmings, as it is TO see that the base
ball grounds are in perfect condition,
so that their months practice will not
only be effective and grantify to the
STARS" but also that they may go
abroad with the most charming recol-
lections of the old Alamo City. These
boys will scatter broadcast all over the
country the seed of their impressions
here, and there will not be a baseball
centre in the United States that will
not be Influenced for or against this
city thereby. Not only so, this city
should be the winter practice grounds
of sportsmen of all classes, and can be
made so by making the best provision
for their work while in our midst.
Climate and temperature are all that
can be desired and San Antonio horse
sense should do the rest. Everyone
who comes down here likes the city
and would return to it in preference
to going elsewhere. all things being
equal Put the ball grounds in per-
feet condition. Let there be not one
square foot of uneven or rough surface
within the foul ball lines. Make in
field and outfield perfect and there will
be only one verdict upon the courtesy
and business sense of San Antonio.
The STARS will go out from this city
to tell of our up-to-date methods all
over the United States, ana others who
are seeking for winter and early spring
grounds for sporting purposes will nat
urally be drawn hither. The presence
of thirty or forty game loving ballists,
with newspaper men to tell the coun-
try all about them, will be an event
that ought to bring us some good adj
vertising, not to mention the little cash
that they and the hundreds that they
draw here may spend with our people.
Prepare the grounds for the Stars
and the stars will star San Antonio.

south Dakota payu on It's Deb4..

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 13.-ISpecial. r.
THE people of South Dakota have, in the
last four years, paid of Sc, 000, 900 of their
debts" said one of the best known loan
agents of the State, ''and they are now
payingof alta very rapid rate. As things are
now going the people of the State, and espe-
cially the farmers, viii soon be well out of
debt. The large crops of the last few years,
coupled with the close times, have had the
effect of giving the people an appetite for
getting out of debt, and fortunately has also
given them the ability to do so"
