DOUBLE PERFIDY

Mr.. Mckinley promised the Puertl

would do what he himself characterized

A LESSON Fon HOUSTON.

The failure, so far to obtain the loca
tion of big rice mill in Houston, which
was originally ofered to us free OF cost
to the citizens. has been cause for regret
already. but the incident may yet give us
keener occasion to depiore tho loss OF
such an industry.
The Beaumont papers are talking right
saucily about their city's apparent vic
tory over Houston in this matter and one
OF them, at least, has suggested In its
comment In the premises a line of thought
which 1t might be profitable for our busl-
ness community to carefully consider Just
now. This Beaumont contemporary says:
rhe business mon of Houston should not
get impatient about rice MILL as in time
by the way, the nine counties raising eco
and tributary to Houston are not worry
ing about rice mills, as Beaumont can take
care OF them aud Houston can so out OF
the tributary business for some time 10
como. The bus ness iaen OF Houston should
wake up and learn that beaumont, by right
uf location, VIII take care OF the trade that
has 10 long been tributary" to Houston.
and that Beaumont has no need TO pay
tribute TO the Bayou City any longer.
More than once heretofore The Post has
warned this city that In the active rivalry

mercial centers. the mere weight of mum

Two Insincere PIanks.

ST Louis Republic.
Present indications are that the people
will have to choose between actions and
words as guides in judging of the senti-
ments of the republican party in the APP
preaching campaign. 1t has been evident
for some time that the republican Ma
tional platform would contain an anti
trust plank strongly tempered by The
trusts contribution OF $4,000, 900 to the
republican campaign fund Now it Is
family possible that the platform will
also con5aln plank voicing sympathy for
the Beers In their war with Great Brit
ain.
An antitrust plank in the Philadelphia
Platform. even though coupled with trust
slush fund and an Endorsement of the
present trust producing tariff leglslatlons.
would probably fool some people who have
not learned to trace the relation between
the tariff as suppresser OF competition
ana the trusts in the same capacity Few
would, however. be fooled by a plank in
the republican platform expressing SYM
patty for the Beers. The entire conduct
OF the administration from the time whe,
hostiilties were first threatened until III.
present has been one of antagonism to
the Beers. II fear of Boer sympathizers
iorces sympathy plank in the republican
platform palmer stamp OF insincerlty will
DE on that document than on an anti-trust
plank.
