TEXAS FOR Fishermen
How e. H, r. Green Will Bring
Hosts of Wealthy Visitors to
Texas

An Austin dispatch says: Advices
have reached here that E. H.R.Green's
project for the establishment of large
club house and fishing grounds at
Mustang Island, near Rockport, is
meeting with the greatest sue.
structing the magnificent club house
will begin very shortly. 1t is said that
800 members have already been secur-
ed and that the list embraces the most
distinguished business men, politicians
and spOrtsmen of the country, includ-
ing President William Mckinley, ex-
President Grover Cleveland, Senator
Matt Quay and many others. The
membership fee is $50, making
about SIS, 900, which will be expended
in the erection of club house. This
club will be the most prominent sports
mems organization in the United
States, and that it will bring the wond-
erful tarpon fishing grounds around
Rockport into national prominence
goes without saying.
Already thousands of fishermen and
hunters from every part of America.
China, have enjoyed the piscatorial
amusement at Rockport, and ali Of
them unite in pronouncing the
section q veritsble paradise of sport. -
General Wade Hampton Gays its
equal can not be found elsewhere;
National Committeeman r. @. Kerens
of st. Louis pronounces it the realiza-
ton OF Isaak Walton's dream; the
American Angler of New York says it
is "the greatest discovery of the age'
% fishing and bunting resort; South
ern Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad officials say it is the ideal
home of all that goes to make mp the
pastime of true sportsmen, and news
papers and tourists all agree that 1t is
the one spot in the country where the
fisherman can get the worth OF his
money. For years ex-Prestdent Cleve-
land has been anxious to arrange
and enjoy . bout with the tarpon in
the vicinity of Rookport. Prior to his
last inauguration he wrote letter from
Gray Gables to Mr.. p. 81. Tansey (now
railroad editor of The POST, in which
he stated that it was one of his great
est desires to "see the Lone Star State,
personally meet its gallant people,
and, above all, indulge in the tarpon
fishing for which the waters adjacent
to Rockport were noted"
With such q man as E. 81. r. Green
at the head of the movement for build
ing a fine club house at that point, and
with the Arkansas Pass railway en-
Enthusiastically seconding his efforts. the
project cannot fall to be grand sue
cess, hundreds of influential and
wealthy sportsmen will flock to our
Texas fishing and hunting resort in
search of recreation, the steam yachts
of Eastern millionar1es will enliven
the bay at Rockport, and the Lone
Star State will become famous not
only as the Mecca of the health seeker,
but the pleasure seeker as we'll.

WORD FROM THE BOYS

Here is an idea, borrowed from a St.
Paul man-it was st. Paul who said
prove all things; hold fast that which
is good"-that may we'll be taken up by
the communities in California who have
among the troops at Ma
nila or among the soldiers who are booked
for that far-off destination.
The scheme is to form an association
which shall subscribe to common fund
to desray the expense of a ten-word ca
blegram from Manila every week. A good
deal can be said In ten-word message,
and as the cost is only about $25, the
expense to any individual subscriber
would be very light.
1t is uncertain yet whether the Seventh
regiment, the pride of the Southland, will
be taken on the next expedition. If it
should go the plan cited in the foregoing
would be an excellent way of securing
frequent communication at small ex-
pense to individuals. If a special cipher
code could be arranged, and the arrange
ments perfected before the sailing of the
troops, a great deal could be said in q
very few words. Pass the idea around.

CITY CHARTER AND POLITICS

1t seems hardly credible that the move
for this city should so soon develop into
q political scramble for party advantage
The demand for new charter is of long
standing. 1t has come from every class
of citizens and from all parties as we'll
as from business and commercial organi-
zations. The present movemnt for new
charter was started by non-partisans in
the hope that the people of the city might
secure a local government freed from
the mischief of that class of men who too
often in such matters sacrifice the well
fare Of the people in order to secure an
advantage for selfish few.
This non-partisan movement, in which
no less than seven commercial and busi-
ness organizations and all of the political
parties of the city have been represented
has resulted in the selection of the names
Of fifteen freeholders from these organi-
nations and parties to prepare and sub
NIT new charter to the electors of the
city for their adoption or rejection
The men who have been selected to per-
form this important duty of formulating
. charter are not only representative
men and respected citizens, but large
majority Of them are thoroughly familiar
with the abuses to be corrected and the re-
forms to be made in municipal govern
ment.
But no sooner had the selection Of this
The herald., 1898-06-20

That vote was made up principally Of
dyed-in- the wool Republicans, Republic
cans for revenue irrespective Of party
platform or principle; largely Of debtors
and employees, mostly Democrats, who
were at heart in favor of the free coinage
of silver, but who were compelled to sac
rifice their principles and vote in the in
terests of their masters, and lastly. Of a
few Democratic bankers and bondholders
who cast their vote with that party
whose principles lay nearest their pocket
books.
To carry the state in November the
Republican party must keep intact every
Mckinley vote. Can 1t do this? The
answer is not difficult. The Republican
party. of course, will be able to keep in
line its dyed-in- the-wool and for-revenue-
only followers: it will have the assistance
Of the gold Democrats; but what shall we
say Of the thousands whose hearts are
with the silver cause. but whose votes
went to the crack of the Hanna whip for
Mckinley? AS individuals, they have
already declared what they propose to do,
and the Republican party will discover
in the election returns of November next
that repetition of Its campaign methods
Of 1896 will neither frighten nor force in
telligent American citizens again to vote
against their principles and wishes and in
favor of their enemies.
The herald., 1898-06-20
A GOOD PRECEDENT

There are differences Of opinion in re-
gard to the necessity or advisability of
Issuing bonds to procure means for con-
ducting the war, but there ought to be
none in regard to that provision of the
recently enacted law which requires the
bonds to be disposed of as popular loan.
If successfully carried into execution,
this plan will become an invaluable prece-
dent for all future time.
If the loan is not taken by the people
1t will not be the fault of the law, for 1t
provides that the smaller subscribers
shall be first served, and in pro rata
amounts of the aggregate of subscrip-
tions shall exceed the sums of the bonds
to be sold. 1t is really the first earnest
attempt to float our securities with our
own people.
The governments Of Great Britain and
France are much more largely in debt
than our government, yet their indebted
ness Is hot really as DurGe1scr,ae es ours,
because their consols or bonds are held
at home and payment of interest does not
deplete the aggregate wealth of those
the pockets of the taxpayers to the pock-
ets of the domestic bondholders. 1t has
been largely otherwise in this country,
as our money has gone abroad and into
the pockets of the foreign holders of our
securities. 1t is to be hoped that the
time has come when, if bonds must be
Issued, the policy of disposing Of them
as popular loan will become as fixed
md unalterable as it is in Britain and
France.
No nation can be absolutely free and
Independent which is beholden to foreign
creditors, and the holding of our bonds
by our own people will strengthen their
Interest in preserving the government. A
popular loan means less concentration in
The hands of wealthy syndicates, and a
wider distribution of the governments S
obligations. If the bonds are issued in
small sums they will naturally subserve
the purposes of larger means for effecting
exchanges in domestic transactions.
This departure from previous practices
must be set down to the credit Of the
progressive element of the country-as
B yielding to the demand for reforms
that shall more largely respect the in
terests Of the masses-to the growing
spirit of unadulterated Americanism.
The step that has been taken is in op-
position to the views and recommended
tions of the Dingleys and Cages, and
the gang that would enrich syndicates at
the expense Of general impoverishment.
The friends Of advancement should take
courage and redouble their efforts.
The herald., 1898-06-20

non-partisan ticket of freeholders been
announced than the disappointed or dis
satisfied Republican politicians Of the
city began their sharp practices of fore
stalling. as they think. the election of this
ticket which they know they cannot use,
by putting opposition tickets in the field.
The cleverness with which these oppo-
sition tickets have been placed before the
public is found in the fact that the names
of some competent and representative
men have been used as kite to carry a
tail made up Of politicians.
Rather than allow the making Of the
new charter to fall into the hands of men
who care more for ward boundaries than
they do for an efficient and economical
city government, it would be better to
drop the whole matter at once and per-
NIT the present charter to stand until a
future generation shall have been taught
the duties Of citizens in respect to local
AS the state constitution stands today
the restrictions upon local government
are no longer in force. The fifteen free
holders are at liberty to make such pro-
visions for the opening and grading Of
streets as experience has taught are
needful, but which the present street law
wholly ignores. 1t is not alone in refer
ence to streets that a new scope has been
given to charter makers by the late
amendment to the state constitution, but,
as that instrument now provides, city
charters may embrace all subjects which
are usually called municipal.
With this enlarged field for local legis-
alton the necessity for a new charter
must be apparent to every one. The
truth is that it is conceded on all sides
that our present charter is antiquated
and seriously defective. Having this in
mind, non-partisan movement was
started to secure a new charter; fifteen
well qualified and deeply interested free
holders have been selected to draft such
charter, and the only thing that will de-
feat its accomplishment is to permit par
tisan politics at this late day to creep into
the movement.
