A VETO.
While the senate committee is working
on the tariff bill it is a good time for the
house to shape up that monetary commis-
sion that President McKinley promised.
If Europe is to have a great war this
would be a good time for it to start. There
is a big crop growing in the United States.

The seventh biennial report of the board
Of regents of the university shows that in-
stitution to be growing steadily, and to
be worthy of ranking with the greatest
universities of America. Seven hundred
and thirty students are in attendance, rep-
resenting all portions of Texas and many
other states.
Turkey has a sufficient casus belli
against Greece if she wants to take it so.
That movement of irregulars into Mace-
donia was of palpable Greek inspiration.
It remains to be seen whether Turkey real-
ly dares to knock the chip off Greece’s
Shoulder.
With the drainage and road bills now
pending in the legislature enacted into
laws, values in the coast country within
two or three years will more than double,
and tax revenues will be correspondingly
increased, without raising the rate.

Galveston is not the only Texas city with
a building boom. Houston, Dallas and
other smaller places are following the
example of the Island city. This is going
to be a good year for Texas.
GALVESTON PUBLISHING CO.,
Entered at the Galveston postoffice as
mail matter of the second class.
From now until June 7 there will be no
lack of sacrificial patriotism upon the
altar of municipal public service. There
are three candidates in the field for mayor
•and as many separate aldermanic move-
ments. The campaign begins early enough
to give citizens opportunity to know ex-
actly what candidates stand for, and there
should be no doubt when the votes are
cast what is the public will as expressed
at the ballot box.
In the mayoralty contest the record of
Dr. Fly for two terms and his platform of
law and order, with a liberal interpreta-
tion of personal liberty statutes and ordi-
nances, afford a sufficient index of what
may be expected if he is re-elected. Few
(public men have more sturdy and faithful
official deportment to their credit. He
Stands out clearly and boldly for what he
believes to be right and he may be de-
pended upon to follow the same course in
the future. He is not an experiment. If
f people don’t like his official style they
Should not vote for him, because there is
no variableness or change of purpose in
him. Those who are satisfied with the ad-
ministration of the office for the last four
(years will not hesitate to trust him again.
His opponents, Messrs. Harrington and
Webber, are both popular geptiemen, as
is shown by their large majorities as ai-
dermen, and their records in the council
'are before the public. What they stand
for, if anything beyond the oath of office
to administer the law, is not known, ana
the voter must depend upon his estimate
of the men themselves in determining
what might be expected of them in the
mayor’s chair.
In the aldermanic campaign conditions
are not yet sufficiently developed to show
just what the election will determine,
though the campaign will doubtless take
on a more positive character in a few
days. The council is the body of legisla-
tion for the city and will shape all matters
of public concern for the next two years.
In this particular stage of Galveston’s
history, in this transitional period from
old times to new 'times, many matters of
great moment will rest upon the next
council. Assuming that the several tick-
ets will be composed in the main of up-
right men, their disposition toward public'
enterprises now developing should be the
determining factor of the voter’s choice.
The Tribune believes that at this time
Galveston needs an alert, progressive, lib-
eral board of alder men, men who are not
only alive to the great possibilities that lie
just ahead, but who are free from local
influences that tend to hamper develop-
ment except along old lines. These are
new times for Galveston and they require
new methods. During the next two years
it will have been decided whether Galves-
ton is to merely grow by natural increase
or to go forward with a bound by loosen-
ing whatever tends to restrain or hinder
tew enterprises.
This is not the time for electing men
upon mere faith in their wisdom or trust
in their unselfishness. Before the cam-
paign is many days older there will be
several distinct propositions for the next
Council to consider, and upon these voters
should require plain expressions from
candidates. Conditions are quite different
from what they were two years ago, and
it is not possible for candidates to be
elected without definitely aligning them-
selves upon the material issues that are
now coming to the front.
Mayor Fly Puts Health Before Roadway
Comforts.
At the last meeting of the city council
Aiderman Borden introduced a resolution,
directing the board of public works to ad-
vertise, in conjunction with the county
commissioners’ court, for bids for building
a shell roadway on 35th street. He said
the city’s proportion of the cost would be
about $3500. The resolution was adopted,
and the next day The Tribune editorially
criticised the action as being unwise and
injudicious, in view of the fact that the
city is in an unsanitary condition, and the
money needed for cleaning up, drainage
and repairs. Mayor Fly evidently took
the same view of the case, and vetoed the
resolution, as follows:
Galveston, April 10.—To the Honorable
City Council: I herewith return to you,
without my approval, the resolution to in-
struct the board of public works to ad-
vertise for bids for the construction of a
road from 35th street and avenue H to the
beach, for the reason that every dollar in
the street and alley fund should be ex-
pended in cleaning up and filling the low

Subterranean Passageway in Ohio of Mar-

Castalia, O., April 12.—The discovery of
a Vast subterranean passageway here has
caused many visitors to inspect a new
cave the past few days. There were visit-
ors Sunday from many surrounding
towns. This cave is situated at the source
of Castalia creek and extends underneath
this town. The people of Eric county are
very much exercised over the explora-
tions that are being made and the Sunday
excursions brought many to this place
Sunday. The entrance is yet made with
. difficulty, but the splendor of the interior
is marvelous when shown by the illumina-
tion of torches. The state- geologist will
inspect this week. It is believed that this
cave is connected with Perry’s cave at
Put-in bay and also with Flat Rock cave,
w'hich would make it extend over an area
greater than that of the Mammoth cave.

Yesterday a bicyclist reported to the po-
lice that the lamp had been stolen from
his wheel, which he had left in the hall of
a Mechanic street building for a few min-
utes. Detective Whittelsey was put upon
the case, and although the wheelman had
given but an imperfect description of a
negro boy he had seen in the vicinity, the
lamp was returned in less than half an
hour. The detective located the boy upon
the wharf front. As soon as he spied the
officer he ran, but dropped the ■ lamp,
which had been taken to pieces and
wrapped in a paper.

Health Officer Arrested for Blackmailing
a Tablet Concern.
Cincinnati, O., April 12.—The arrest Sat-
urday of Dr. Pendergast, the city , health
officer, and his associate, Dr. Limerick, on
the charge of blackmailing the Frazer
triturate manufacturing company, caused
much comment. The prosecution is not
made by the state food commission, but
by Mr. Frazer, whose tablets were in use
in the city departments. Mr. Frazer
charges that on March 1 Dr. Pendergast
threatened to pronounce the tablets im-
pure unless $10,000 was paid. He also
charges that Dr. Limerick was the middle
man and that the amount demanded was
finally reduced to $2000. Meantime the
case was put in Pinkerton’s hands and
now startling developments are expected.
Prosecution will be pressed, although it is
said some high officials will be involved
in the transactions before all is over.

A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef-
fectual Cure for It.
Catarrh of the Stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied some-
times with sour or watery risings, a form-
ation of gases, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs and difficult breathing;
headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness
and a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it wrnuld show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time ,to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of
the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to Dr. H'arlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet composed of Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name oi
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being
a patent medicine can be used with per-
fect safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn street,
Chicago, Ill., writes: “Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me for three years for catarrh of
stomach without cure, but today I am .the
happiest of men after using only one box
of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I can not
find appropriate words to express my good
feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use.”
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as tho simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious-
ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat-
ing after meals.

stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be
found at all drug stores.
Suffered for Years With Terrible
Humor on the Hands—Flesh
would Crack Open—Stinging,
Burning and Itching,
“I suffered for three years with salt
rheum and was unsuccessfully treated by
a local physician. The humor was in my
hands and I was obliged to keep a coher-
ing on them most of the time, changing
the covering several times a day. Nothing
seemed to do me any good. The stinging,
burning and itching were very severe and
it seemed at times as though I should
become insane. If I bent my fingers the
flesh would crack open and bleed. I began
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla and after I had
used six bottles I was entirely cured.”

places in the resident and business por-
tion of the city. ‘
Good roads are very essential to the com-
fort and pleasure of people who can af-
ford wheels and other means of transpor-
tation, but the health of our citizenship is
paramount to every ether consideration,
and every dollar that can be expended to
improve the sanitary condition of the
streets and alleys contributes that much
to the advancement of the health of our
city.
The proposed bond issue of $50,000 for
street improvements places no restriction
as to the kind of material to be used or
streets selected, and should the legislature
grant permission to issue said bonds not
more than $25,000 can be used in any one
year, but two-thirds of the aidermen can
determine the streets to be improved and
the material to be used in the construction
of said improvements.
If the bond amend ment passes the legis-
lature your honorable body will have am-
ple means and opportunity to build the
road. If the amendment does not pass it
would be unjust to take from the fund of
necessity at this time and apply to the ac-
count of luxury. A. W. FLY.
