The employment Of the convicts of
this state upon the public roads, those
ut least of them who are not serving
terms Of more than ten years, COM
mends itself to the adoption Of the
state as a policy. Those with less
than two years to serve should be
turned over to the counties in which
they were sentenced, and by them
employed on the county roads. Hir-
ing them out is not the proper way
TO dispose Of them. Their labor is
forfeited to the state, but the state
has no right to surrender his gauard-
-ianship over them to any corporation.

San Antonio is getting ready to ride
at the head Of the procession this San
Jacinto day, very close to the band
wagon and there should be no mistake
hbOut her being in condition. There is
always a little extra call for contin-
gencies and when the funds are being
raised it will not hurt to have provis-
ions made for these as well. Let the
ladies have funds enough to do the
thing up brown, and if there is any
thing left over it can be turned over
to the committee of arrangements for
the drill. There will nothing be vast.
ed that is put into their hands.

HOME INDUSTRIES.

The protection idea is growing every
where. 1t assumes different phases
under differing conditions and takes on
new forms as circumstances require,
but it is the same old idea governing
under new necessities. The need of
this preference Icing given to the
work that is being done at home is so
au~LaIent that now il is the exception
and rot the rule 10 fuI objection to
the movement in any local matter.
Communities that have been notori-
ousIy free trade in al their past bis
tory, when they are faced with the
necessities of building up home en-
terprises soon develop the most pro-
nounced ideas of protective policy.
This has been the case right here in
San Antonio, and this tendency to pro-
tect our own small industries is lead
ing to an acceptance of the theories Of
the protectionists in their general APP
plication. San Antonio can be put
down today al distinctly protective in
all that concerns her own home in
dustries, and yet there are matters in
which she is actually cutting the
threats Of those very INDUSTRIES up
on which the prosperity of the town
depend. Our regular business houses
do a large part in maintaining the city.
They pay heavy taxes, take their
share of the burdens that fall upon
the people, contribute literally to all
enterprises that build up the city and
are entitled to protection against those
who do not thus aid in maintaining
the institutions of the county and
municipality. This protection is not
afforded when the doors are thrown
wide for transient traders to food the
city with the cast off goods or pro-
ducts of bankrupt sales. These trans
tents only pay a slight occupation tax
for a day or a week or a month, as
they find it profitable, and then fold up
their tents like the Arabs and as
steal away. There is no
standing the competition of these
guerrillas of legitimate business, for
they have none of the legitimate ex-
penses of the regular merchant to
meet. The equities of trade demand
that this irregular1ty should be made
good by some special tax levied upon
such transient traders for every day
they open their bazaars in the city.
This will protect the resident mer-
chants who pay taxes and otherwise
to keep up the current ex-
penses of the city, and it would per-
init the transient trader to bring his
goods under fair competition. This
be just to both, but as it is now
the regular merchant is obliged to fill
his shelves, carry heavy stocks, do his
advertising, pay his taxes, do
Ill that devolves on him as a citizen
to bear the expenses Of government, |
to see some transient trader who
bears none of these expenses come in
On him with a flood Of bankrupt goods
and stop his sales so long as the guer-
rilla can command trade enough to
hold the fort. The city owes protec-
ton to those who bear her burdens
and pay her bills.

worlds demands for that cereal
has had much to do in producing
this desirable result, and present
prospects are that until another good
crop is assured here and elsewhere
there can be no material recession in
price, while many things can occur to
cause a decided enchantment of val
ues. The admittedly decreased acre,
age of winter wheat is one of these,
and possible damage to whatever
crop is in the ground is another.
Wheat has been unusually active at
a much larger range for the last three
days, and while present prices may
look high to some there is a contin-
gent Of the shrewedest traders who
confidently expect wheat to sell we'll

Corn is in a relatively stronger
position than it was week ago. The
tremendous liquidation, while it
forced the price down, was still ton
ic for this market; and present prices
seem low to many. AS to provisions,
can only be said that when the yellow
fever germs are killed by the frosts
there must be much better market
in the south, with advancing prices.

Late Reports direct from the Chi

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The general
momentary and commercial situation
is, with a few unimportant exceptions,
better at the present time than it has
been since the panic Of 1893, said a
member of the firm of Schwartz,
Dupee & Co.
1t is true that for the moment there
is not the boom in stocks and other
securities that obtained few weeks
ago, but after such an unprecedently
large rise in so short a time it was in
evitable that there should be reac-
ton. This has come and gone, stocks
have recovered good portion of their
loss and now unquestionably in bet
ter hands than ever before. For the
last week the assaults of the bears,
aided as they we're by disquieting
rumors concerning our relations with
Spain, have had but little effect, and
that of temporary character only.
The English commercial and fnan-
cial situation is such that money is
coming, in one form or another, from
that country to this in large amounts.
