With a clear realization of the
truth, and an accurate Judgment of
its Importance to San Antonio. John
B. Darlington, in a strong article in
the Passing Show of last week, tries
to convince San Antonians that their
city now has the opportunity of op-
portunities. in the proposition for
the construction ia railroad to
Brownsville. IN telling phrases he
warns that city that she now faces a
crisis in her history, in the effort that
is being made to secure the construc-
sion of a railroad through the rich
country lying south of San Antonio
as far as the Rio Grande and Browns
Vile The fact is pointed out that,
whereas San Antonio formerly large
" monopolized the trade of Browns
vile and this entire section, Houston
now sends three pounds of freight to
San Antonio's one over the Browns
vile road, and the danger of even
greater losses to the latter city by the
construction of the various new rail-
road projects now actively on foot in
this section, with other termini than
San Antonio in view. is called to her
attention. 1t is surely time for San
Antonio to get busy.

Achi. Brown and Vida came together
on the proposition to get Vida into

cratic Supervisors were TO vote for
him and Kealoha was TO get-on the
fence, providing a third could be found
70 support the slate. Kealoha was to
be rewarded for neutrality. Brown
had 8 hand in the deal and hoped,
with Achi. to reap some gains from q

a wrong and vicious theory. and I can
not support il. If the committee had
brought in bill providing that the

mits in certain cases for travel upon
foreign vesssls-to those making out
an exceptional caseI would have
been glad TO have supported such
