GROWING EXCLUSIVENESS.

There Ia no doubt that the free inter
change of ideas and experiences of per-
sons engaged in similar lines of manu-
facture tends to the general advance
ment Of any art, but there is, apparent
Iva growing feeling that this has been
somewhat overdone in America, and it
Is now becoming more difficult for visi-
tors to obtain permits to inspect the
large industrial establishments of the
country.
Within the past few years, or since
the great invasion OF American manu-
featured products, especially of iron
and steel. in many foreign markets,
there has been marked increase in
the number of foreign visitors, engi-
neers, mechanics, and other experts,
CHIEF fly from Great Britain and Ger
many, to the large industrial estab-
lishments of the United States, and
several of these visitors have given the
cheering world.
AS the result of observation IL SOM
large esta blishments, and Of inquiry
elsewhere, A. e. Outerbridge, Jr.,
says in the Engineering Magazine for
March that he believes that it is be-
manufacturers in America TO keep
secret improvements in processes of
manufacture, and while visitors are,
and probably will continue to be, cor
dislly welcomed aud even permitted TO
make Investigations more fully than
they can do at present in European es-
Establishments, these secrets are now as
carefully guarded in American shops IS
in foreign factories.

because while then silver was thu only
issue, now the party has q number Of
Issues to choose from, nay, it cao even
take them sll, silver, antitrust, anti
EXPANSION, and with thres issues, can
meet the demands of every section.
This would offer sn attractive pro-
gram were it not for the fact that
many of the men who favor one of
these issues are uualterably opposed to
the others, and vice versa. For in
stance, Bourke Cochran is q gold dem
ocrat who sturdily fought silver in
1896; but he is willing to allow silver
in the platform il the prin-
cipal issue is snsi-imperial-
lem. Senator Morgan, on the
other hand, is silver democrat, but
he IL strong expansioniet, and he
believes that any other course than a
declaration for expansion would be the
costliest of mi>takes. Henry "a,tersop
silver Is done for; but he urges
expansion as q democratic policy and
as a national necessity. Chairman
Jones and Senator Pettigrew are
both silver men and ardent
anti-expsnsionists. Senator McLsurin
sees ia expansion q necessity for the
south
These men are leaders, aud they are
not to be fooled into seeing one issue
used In one part of the country and
another In different section. 1t
appears that the work of organizing
the various discordaut elements of the
democratic party into an harmonious
unity is herculean indeed, If not quite
impossible.

JUST at this time, when Bourke
Coo hran and the other gold democrats
are striving desperately to think we'll
OF Mr.. Bryan and overlook his silver
issue, it Ia most disheartening to have
the candidates allies, the populists,
serve notice upon the democratic par
ty that they will nominate Bryan on a
16-to-1 platform, and will then insist
that the democratic national conven-
tion endorse the platform and the
Candidate otherwise they threaten q
separate ticket.

1.-THE EAST AND THE WEST. "

Lieutenaut-Governo Timothy Les
ter Woodruff, OF New York, is swing,
ing round the circle as a candidate for
the republican vice. presidential noml-
nation. His speeches are attracting q
considerable amount of attention, but
they show such lack of dignity that
the comment upon them in the repub-
lican press Is not favorable to his can
didacy. That he shows q breadth of
geographical view, and that his doc
trine is unimpeachable must be con-
coded, however, when the following
extract from his Chicago speech Is
considered:
The east and the west!' Where
ia the east ana where the west of the
United States OF America in this year
of QUE Lord 1900? The geographical
centre has been gradually moved from
the mid. most point of the three hun
dred and fifty Thousand square miles of
the original thirteen colonies, first, to
a point halfway across the American
continent, thence by IT, acquisition of
Alaska, one hundred and twenty-five
miles west of the golden gate; until
now in starting for the furthermost
domain of the republic, it matters not
whether you turn your face toward the
rising or the setting sun. A zone of
freedom now encircles the world. The
patriotism which has welled rp from
all parts of our common country has
forever washed out the sectional lines
OF latitude which once parted the
north from the south, and with one
more supreme struggle in 1900, like
that of 1896, we shall thwart the last
effort OF any party TO substitute a lon
gitudinal sectional line separating the
east from the west.''
He lavished bis com plimeots so i'm
partially upon the east and the west
that his epeech would stand out as
gem If he had not descended to mere
playfulness before closing. 1--WE told
the democrats" he said, las together
We viewed the spectacle of the fight
between the gold and the silver cats
on the top of the chimney of the de-
serted factory, that We would soon put
. stop to that scrap when we lighted
the fires of Mckinley prosperity. 1.-THE
fire has notquite singed the silver cat to
death it certainly has SO developed him
In smoke that he il no longer visi BILE.
Silver as an issue has disappeared, ex-
cept in the silver tones that issue from
the wandering son of Nebraska.
There are 40 more solid democrats.
Those who still claim they are are
really silver plated - While this
sort of talk. however true it may be,
might elect man to congress, it will
scarcely win for Mr.. Woodruff the
title of vine-oresident

G.. @. DRAKE, the nominee for con-
gress put out by the Del Rio convention
Saturday, has for several years been
| republicans of the state. He first came
into notice, according to the San Antonio
Express, through his control OF re-
publican sffairs at Fort Worth. While
working in the traffic department of
the Fort Worth & Denver road, he
gained such Influence that be was N ad g
the chairman of the county executive
committee and from that time on he
ruled things to suit himself. In 1896
he was one of the first men in
the state to champion the claims
of Mckinley, and with John
Grant he divides the honor Of
being the original Mckinley boomer.
He csnvsssed much Of the state ia the
interest of the Ohio man and finally
reaped his reward by being appoin ted
collector of customs a. Eagle Pass.
At the state repub lican convention in
1896 Drake supported E. II. r. Green
for stste chairman and by so doing
tue III Will Cl john
which lasts even to ;his day. He is a
tireless worker and as an organizer he
has few equals. This ia shown by his
control of the twelfth district, be
having been there less than two years.
He has established at Eagle Pass the
South western Republican, weekly
newspaper, which he expects to aid
him in the approaching campaign.
The antipashy of Drake that was APP
parent before the convention is passing
away and all the local leaders say they
will vOts for him. Ore republican
went so far as to ssy that if Drake
wanted him 10 serve on his campaig n
mmittee that he would do so. San
Antonio leaders are little disgrunt-
ted, but they will get into the pro-
cession later.

STATUS OF THE CASE
The County Court Sustains the De-
murrer OF the Defendant In the
purtell vs.. Smith Case.

Inc case OF Purtell VS.. Smith came
up before Judge Harper in the county
court yesterday afternoon. The suit
| was brought by Mrs. Eva Nj. Purtell
joined by her bus baud, Gu aries Purtell
| ag ainet Phil Smith, Mrs. Purtell's
former husband, to compel him to re-
limo uish the guardianship ard con trul
OF the property OF their adopted minor
child, Phyllis Smith. 1t promised tC
be an interesting one to some but in
view OF the result yesterday IL is not
now expected to ever come up for trial
again, at least for some time yet. L,
had been intended to try the questions
before jury but the law aCgumen Is
consumed the entire time of the court
and the jury was finally discharged.
The Issue at the bar arose in this
manner. The plaintiff and defendant
while husband and wife leg lily adopt.
ed the little girl, Phyllis, than an in
faut. Later they separated and were
divorced in the district court. About
the same time Mrs. Charles Purtell.
wife of q prominent contractor secured
weeks later Mr. Purtell and Mrs.
Smith were married. After only a
few weeks Mr.. Purtell, returning
to her former husband, applied for q
divorce from Purtell. This she later
withdrew and the Purtells moved to
Corsicsna to reside.
When they separated Smith and his
former wife entered into an agreement
by which the child was temporarily
mother, while err father was appoint
ed her legal guardian and given
charge OF her state and property.
This agreement has so far been car
ried out but the Purtells filed an
amended petition alleging that it was
null and void and asked thatthe child's
property be removed from Mr.. Smiths
control and that suitable provision be
made for her education and support.
The defends ant filed demurrer on
the following grounds:
First, the allegations embodied in
the petition en- bodied a collateral at
tack on the guardianship proceedings
now pending in the probate court.
Second, the scti~1 was improperly
brought.
Third, the proper eet'on would have
been an application for to ,e ynoval of
Smith as guardian and the appoint
ment of another in his place.
A number of enPciAi plesdines were
also filed. T. alleged that the
sgreeue7r sought Co De set aside had
been fully agreed 10 by Mrs. Purtell,
furthermore that the plaintiffs were
not prOn"- 0"~7Nps 20 have the custody
of the chic - hey had not always
been able 70 sa7Dc-t themselves and
moreover have no. lived in harmony
together.
The demurrer WAS argued st length
by the attorneys and the court took the
eutire case under adv:sement aud no
decision whatever was rendered. II
the demurrer is sustained the case will
be thrown out of court. II it is over
ruled the questions of fact remain to
be passed upon by the jury and the en-
tire case will probably be thoroug bly,
aired in court.
